"Tanjiro, as long as Senior Ryuji kills all the {demons} on Mount Fujikasane, we'll be completely safe!" Zenitsu was already fantasizing about this perfect ending.
Tanjiro still didn't pay any attention to Zenitsu. After spending a night with him, Tanjiro knew that Zenitsu was not only cowardly but also a chatterbox.
So, Tanjiro usually ignored Zenitsu's nonsense.
However, after knowing that Ryuji was doing such a dangerous thing, Tanjiro started to worry about him.
"Zenitsu, we have to find Senior Ryuji quickly!" Tanjiro said to Zenitsu at this time.
Hearing this, Zenitsu was a little puzzled. He asked, "Tanjiro, Senior Ryuji is searching for demons to kill. Why do we have to go and join in the fun? Maybe we'll even hinder him!"
Hearing this, Tanjiro knew that Zenitsu didn't want to go with him, so he didn't force him. He said, "Alright then! You stay with them. I'll go find Senior Ryuji alone."
Seeing that Tanjiro was about to leave him behind, Zenitsu immediately became unhappy. After spending a night together, he had developed a certain affection for Tanjiro. He had also come to understand and trust Tanjiro's strength.
"Tanjiro, don't leave me. These people were all saved by Senior Ryuji. It's not safe to stay with them. If we really encounter a {demon}, they won't be able to protect me. I still have to find a girl to marry!" Zenitsu immediately grabbed Tanjiro, preventing him from leaving.
Zenitsu's words immediately caused dissatisfaction among the young men around him. Although he was telling the truth, they felt that even if they couldn't defeat the demons, it wasn't up to a coward to belittle them.
"You little brat, what did you say? Do you want to die?"
"Coward, you're asking for a beating!"
"You're a scaredy-cat. What right do you have to say that about us, you coward!"
Countless taunts towards Zenitsu came pouring back. The cowardly Zenitsu immediately hid behind Tanjiro and said fearfully, "Tanjiro, they're so scary. I don't want to stay with them!"
Seeing the situation, Tanjiro also knew that Zenitsu had been hated by these young men. Plus, what Zenitsu said was true. If it weren't for Ryuji's sweep and rescue yesterday, these young men who were recovering from their injuries here would have been eaten by the {demons}.
So, if Zenitsu stayed with them, he would probably be bullied.
"Everyone listen to me. Since we've all gathered together, why don't we go find Senior Ryuji together?" Tanjiro now had the idea of bringing this group along. If they all acted together, their survival rate would be higher. Even if they encountered a demon, they could look out for each other.
Tanjiro's words made many people fall into thought. The atmosphere immediately became quiet. After experiencing a near-death experience, they had come to value their lives more.
No one responded to Tanjiro's call. Everyone wanted to stay in the safe area marked by Ryuji and survive for seven days safely.
"Uh, I'm injured. I'd be a burden if I go with you. Forget it." This was the first response from a young man with a serious injury.
Hearing this, Tanjiro looked at the young man. His right forearm, which held the sword, was gone. The severed limb was simply bandaged with his clothes, and the bleeding had stopped.
This was clearly caused by a {demon} yesterday. He was indeed not suitable to go with them to find Ryuji.
