Hearing this, Tanjiro became even more curious about how exquisite this sword was. If it was a good sword, then he wouldn't have to ask Mr. Haganezuka to forge a sword for him again.
Therefore, Tanjiro held his breath and slowly pulled the sword out of its scabbard. After pulling the blade out of the scabbard, Tanjiro saw a large amount of rust on the blade. The situation wasn't as perfect as he had imagined.
Seeing this situation, Tanjiro and Kotetsu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
This atmosphere was maintained for about half a minute before Kotetsu finally broke the awkward silence.
"Well, that's normal! After all, it's been 300 years, and this sword has never been maintained!"
"I'm just sorry for getting your hopes up for nothing! I'm really sorry!"
Kotetsu didn't forget to apologize to Tanjiro.
Although Tanjiro was a little disappointed, he wasn't too upset.
"It's okay! Anyway, Village Chief Tecchin said that he can have someone else forge a sword for me!" Tanjiro replied.
At this moment, there was a commotion in the forest. Tanjiro and Kotetsu both looked towards the sound, and they discovered a burly figure walking towards them.
The reason why Tanjiro only discovered this person after they got closer was because this person didn't have any dangerous aura, and this was the Swordsmith Village, which could be said to be very safe.
After this person got closer, Tanjiro saw that the person was a muscular man with his upper body exposed, and he was also wearing a fire man mask.
"Mr. Haganezuka?!" Kotetsu shouted. He was also very surprised by Mr. Haganezuka's appearance.
However, because of the drastic change in Haganezuka's physique, Tanjiro didn't recognize him at first.
It was only after Kotetsu called out Haganezuka's name that Tanjiro realized that the muscular man was Haganezuka.
"I heard what you said. Leave the rest to me!" Haganezuka said after arriving in front of Tanjiro and Kotetsu.
After speaking, Haganezuka took the rusty Nichirin Blade.
However, Tanjiro didn't want Haganezuka to take this sword away, so Tanjiro and Haganezuka began to fight over the rusty Nichirin Blade.
"Let go! This is Kotetsu's thing. What do you want to do with it?!" Tanjiro asked, very puzzled.
If Haganezuka said the reason why he wanted to take this sword away, then Tanjiro might not stop Haganezuka!
"I said leave it to me. Why are you talking so much nonsense?!" Haganezuka said very forcefully, and he didn't seem to want to explain any further.
In the end, Tanjiro still couldn't win against Haganezuka, who had become a muscular man. Haganezuka successfully snatched the Nichirin Blade hidden inside the mechanical doll.
Just as Haganezuka snatched the Nichirin Blade, Kozo Kanamori suddenly appeared behind Haganezuka. Kanamori reached out his hands towards Haganezuka's armpits and then began to tickle him.
"Young men, Mr. Haganezuka's weakness is his armpits. You have to attack his weakness!"
Kanamori said while tickling Haganezuka's armpits.
Haganezuka also began to laugh loudly, and he eventually fainted from laughter.
"Mr. Kanamori!" Tanjiro also shouted. He was also very surprised by Kanamori's appearance.
After subduing Haganezuka, Kanamori greeted Tanjiro, "Long time no see, Tanjiro!"
"Mr. Haganezuka will faint for a while after being tickled in his armpits, so let me explain the situation to you!"
