"Actually, Haganezuka went into the mountains to train. He wasn't unwilling to forge a sword for you!"
Hearing this, Tanjiro became curious. Did Haganezuka become a muscular man because of training? Building such a body must have taken a lot of suffering!
"In order to forge a better Nichirin Blade and prevent you from dying, Haganezuka went to train in the deep mountains. He just wouldn't say it honestly!"
Kanamori's words made Tanjiro feel touched. Tanjiro didn't expect Haganezuka to care about him so much.
"You've been asking Mr. Haganezuka to forge a sword for you. I think he must be very happy, because other swordsmen don't like him, so they often request to have him replaced and have other swordsmiths complete the forging work."
After Kanamori finished speaking, Kotetsu also joked, "Although Mr. Haganezuka has a very kind heart, he has a strange temper, so no girl has been willing to marry him!"
Just as Kotetsu finished speaking, the fainted Haganezuka woke up. He leaped up from the ground like a fish thrown onto land.
Kotetsu quickly leaned closer to Tanjiro, afraid that Haganezuka would get angry at him for what he had just said.
Haganezuka, standing in front of everyone again, began to gesticulate and said, "Leave this rusty sword to me. I'll use the Nichirin Blade polishing technique that has been passed down through the Haganezuka family to polish it and restore its former sharpness!"
"Then just explain it! You showed up like a robber, and you're like an idiot, not saying anything when asked!" Kotetsu couldn't help but complain.
Kotetsu's words undoubtedly angered Haganezuka. The muscular Haganezuka instantly lifted Kotetsu up like a chick, as if he was going to beat Kotetsu.
Seeing this, Tanjiro and Kanamori immediately stepped forward to stop him. With Haganezuka's strange temper, he might really beat Kotetsu.
In the end, Kotetsu handed the rusty Nichirin Blade to Haganezuka. After receiving the rusty Nichirin Blade, Haganezuka immediately began the repair work without any hesitation.
Because of the damage to the mechanical doll, Tanjiro was unable to continue his combat training with the mechanical doll, so Tanjiro's devil training also ended.
Afterwards, Tanjiro returned to the inn where he was staying. To his surprise, Genya Shinazugawa was actually eating in the dining hall. He didn't know if he should be happy or depressed.
However, Tanjiro didn't proactively sit with Genya Shinazugawa. The two of them were at separate tables. Mitsuri Kanroji had also left the Swordsmith Village, so it was obviously impossible for Tanjiro to share the results of his training with the mechanical doll with her.
A villager brought Tanjiro his dinner for tonight. Tanjiro ate while muttering to himself, "Mr. Kanamori said that it will take three days to polish that rusty Nichirin Blade, and that the polishing method is very cruel. It seems like it can even kill people. I'm really worried!"
"But Mr. Kanamori said that I absolutely can't peek. I don't know if I should go or not!?"
Although Tanjiro seemed to be talking to himself, he was actually saying these words to Genya Shinazugawa. Tanjiro also wanted to test whether Genya Shinazugawa would pay attention to him. If he did, that would be great!
