Ultimate Being from the Tokonosu City 90 A good person is always misunderstood (Patreon)

"Please, we beg you!" 

"Teach Iinuma-sama your technique!" 

"Come on, Kamado Tanjiro! Don't be stingy!" 

If money couldn't move Tanjiro, then they had to use sincerity. 

Isao had taught that to all of them, so at this moment, everyone who was brought by Isao shouted with all of their might to Tanjiro to teach him the secret technique of his family. 

Still, if they were alone, they would be embarrassed, but as they were together, nothing feared them! 

Kanroji even led them and continued to shout with all of her might. 

At this moment, if someone from the modern world saw what they did, they would think of a scene where a group of yakuza forced the owner of the house to sell their house even though they didn't want to by using harassment. 

This scene was quite familiar since instead of sincerity, most people would think what they did was harassment. 

Yet, when one had good intentions, it was normal for others to misunderstand them. 

However, they were sure that Tanjiro could feel their sincerity and taught Isao the secret technique of his family. 

Only Shinobu was so embarrassed that she regretted joining Isao on this trip. 

Yet, even if many of them surrounded and even made a loud noise, no one dared to interrupt them. Even all the villagers kept quiet and made way for them, especially when all of them had a katana on their sides. If they angered them, what would happen if they were being stabbed by swords? 

Still, if Isao knew what they thought, he would say that it was normal for a good person to be misunderstood. Even many famous figures in history were often misunderstood. At that moment, he was the same, and like those famous figures in history, he would never stop until he succeeded! 

After all, Isao believed that justice and rigor had always been by his side! 

Meanwhile, Tanjiro was so troubled that he didn't know what to do. Getting angry at them? Even if he got angry and told them to leave, they didn't care about his voice and were so persistent! He also didn't dare to run away, especially when he noticed a gun and katana.

All of those people were well-equipped with weapons! 

If Tanjiro dared to run away, then wouldn't they might target his family? 

Moreover, he could see that all the villagers would definitely tell this group of people where his house was if they were asked. 

At this moment, he regretted it. He regretted that he didn't accept that money. If he accepted, then he would get money for his family, and then he wouldn't be troubled like this. 

As for the option of beating up Isao and his group, such a thought never crossed Tanjiro's mind at all. It wasn't that he was a good guy or whatever, but he didn't think that he could win while being surrounded by so many people. Moreover, if he made a move under the eyes of many, then he might even become a criminal. At this moment, he hated his genius intellect, which made him realize that everything was meaningless. 

Power, authority, or wealth. 

Tanjiro had nothing, and he could do nothing against the harassment of Isao and his group. 

Yet, Tanjiro wasn't a simple young man, and even though he was being harassed by them, he just remained silent and never complained. 

At this moment, the two were at the chicken race. 

Those who couldn't hold on would become the loser. 

Still, as the sky was about to turn dark, they didn't seem to intend to give up, but Tanjiro wished to go home. When he was troubled about what he should do with Isao and his group, Isao said, "Well, let's go back." 

Isao had given up. 

Isao wanted to help Tanjiro by giving him money, but this guy was so stubborn. He didn't have a hobby, so he became a dog licker who begged persistently even if he was disgusted. Moreover, the value of Tanjiro in his eyes had already disappeared after he devoured Tanjiro's DNA. 

Moreover, even if Isao did nothing, he was sure that Tanjiro would come to the Demon Slayer Corps sooner or later. 

Well, even if Tanjiro did join the Demon Slayer Corps, Isao would do nothing since their position was different. He was above, and Tanjiro was below. 

If Tanjiro couldn't appreciate his kindness, then that's it. 

Hearing Isao's words, everyone stopped and just walked away, following Isao, who seemed ready to walk away. 

".........." 

Watching all of this, Tanjiro became even at a loss since he could see that they had given up and didn't have any intention to offer money anymore. Not only had he lost the money, but he was also being harassed for the entire day, so he could hardly sell charcoal. At this moment, even if he was a good person and had a good temper, it was impossible for him to remain calm. 

Yet, even if he felt so, what was the use of it? 

What could Tanjiro do? 

Tanjiro let out a helpless sigh, feeling helpless, yet also some regrets since he could see that all of them planned to go back. Shaking his head, he also decided to go home, but when he was about to leave, someone called him. 

"Hey, Tanjiro, are you returning to the mountain?"

"Saburoujii-san?" 

"You can't! It's dangerous!" 

"My nose can smell anything. It'll be fine." 

"I'll let you stay the night. Come! Turn back!" 

"But..." 

"Enough of that! Come here!" Saburo's expression quickly became frightened and said, "Demon will appear." 

By then, Saburo started to tell the origin of the demon, talking about how it would eat a human and come out during the night, and because of that, it was better for Tanjiro to stay and go home later during the day. 

After hearing those words, Tanjiro was about to agree, thinking that Saburo was just lonely after he lost his family, but—

"Are you sure?" 

"Huh?" 

Tanjiro was startled when Isao started to return. 

"In case a demon appears, then your family might be hurt. Are you sure you want to stay and live in that old man's house for a night, leaving your family?" 

"Hey, shut the hell up! What do you know about demons?! They are dangerous beings!" 

Yet, Isao ignored this old man and didn't even look at him. 

The others were also the same, and all of them only glanced at the old man, causing the old man to shudder and quickly hide away. They might not say anything, but the pressure that came from being gazed at by so many people wasn't a poor, ordinary people could bear. 

However, the words that came from Isao's lips reverberated in Tanjiro's mind. 

If it was before, Tanjiro might not have paid Saburo's words, but it was different when Isao said those words. He thought that nothing would happen, but if Isao said all of that, he started to become worried. 

Even if a demon didn't appear, a beast or a robber might visit. 

Moreover, there were also many females in his family, in case something happened, then—

Still, the question was, could he protect his family alone? 

Tanjiro hesitated for a while before he looked up at Isao and his group, who dressed differently from all the people he had seen. They dressed expensively and appeared like the upper class, yet they acted like the lowest beings. 

Yet... yet... besides them, who could he rely on? 

"W-What should I pay?" Tanjiro asked with a slight hint of hostility in his voice since he could feel that Isao threatened him. 

"There is no need to pay. However, if you don't want to, I can leave, though." 

Isao looked up at the night sky, wondering why being a good guy was so hard. He just wanted to do something good, accompanying this good kid home, yet the one who was helped was so resistant and doubted him. Still, even if he was misunderstood, it was all fine since he had a feeling that something wonderful was about to happen soon. 

"So, what do you want to do?"
