Xu Heng treated this like a game, wanting it all despite being bad at it. Sakonji Urokodaki hit him with the harsh reality, and he had to admit he was a total noob.
He hadn't gathered all the gear during the early-game exploration, skipped every story conversation, dug himself into quest traps everywhere, and the romance route... To hell with romance! He was going to build a career!
As for the rest, yeah, yeah, whatever. He could just give up and laze around!
[Major warnings: The story may read like a bare-bones outline! It ends abruptly, with a bad ending?]
CP: Giyu Tomioka x Xu Heng (Yokoyama Shiro)
Theme song: "Sora" (Da-iCE) Ending song: "FEARS" (THE RAMPAGE from EXILE TRIBE)
When the author started writing, they had only watched the anime's Final Selection arc and hadn't read the manga. Xu Heng's later story is therefore completely unknown to the author. There are bound to be plot holes.
-Xu Heng is an ordinary person. The choices he makes without knowing what lies ahead lead to both good and bad outcomes. He isn't all-powerful, so keep that in mind if it bothers you.-
Novel status: The anime's opening arc, which is also where Tanjiro's story begins, was originally going to be locked away. At the time, I hadn't caught up with the manga, and felt I hadn't captured the characters' personalities, while the plot holes were too glaring. After making some revisions, I may release it after all. I want to preserve those early choices, so the changes probably won't be too drastic. And since it ties into the surrounding plot, I might as well release it (rubs forehead).
Recommended reading order: Final Selection arc - Memories arc - Mugen Train arc
Theme: Can you hold on to hope and persevere toward the future?
Although he didn't want to face it, Xu Heng's life still ended like this (it was from a side perspective! I thought it was written from Xu Heng's perspective about his struggle before death (?_?)). I thought that his death would be grand, and he would rest in the tears of his lover at the break of dawn. But I didn't expect to die in such a relatively ordinary way (mainly I felt that the fight scene before death was too hasty). Then I thought about it, this is Xu Heng, as calm as a lake, naturally it will not end in a torrent. As a "passer-by", reaching this point is already an undercurrent under the water... How should I put it? He feels like "fog" to me, dissipating under the rays of the sun, leaving everyone like this, but leaving morning dew in people's hearts, so: Xu Heng, rest in peace... Will you write a sequel? I want to see Yi Yong and Xu Heng's modern daily lives!! (The above is my opinion after reading the book. If there is anything wrong, please include it in more detail!)
If Kamiroku could detect it, then Tongmo must have noticed that it was the Demon Slayer Squad. After all, they were really not weak. The difference between Xu Heng is that the era he lived in shaped his worldview. As an old ghost who has passed a hundred years [Hey], Tong Mo is too easily attracted by this difference. What is even more curious is whether Xu Heng can realize that Tong Mo has no feelings. Also, if Xu Heng's unique values attract Tong Mo, how can he leave? If Tong Mo touched this fun toy and wanted to keep him, would Tong Mo invite him to become a ghost after seriously injuring him? But considering that this was the past time, he probably left normally. After all, Xu Heng already knew that he was the leader of a religion, and what a big sign he was. From this, I thought that I don't know if Shinobu's sister can be saved. Also, I don't know if I can notice that I can't see the sun.
Author! Don't get stuck here?_?
Damn it, I was still stabbed, damn it
Forgive me for being a face-obsessed person. In fact, the average appearance of passers-by in Demon Slayer is not very low. It would be nice if the skin is a little whiter and the hair is a little longer... I'm sorry, I shouldn't have any other ideas about Hengshan's appearance. It was clearly said from the beginning that he has a passer-by face!!! But I can't help it!! He obviously has a very unattractive personality, but why does he have an unattractive face? I understand that the author's wife wants to fit in with the theme of "taking a trip", but who doesn't want to have a son who is pretty or not necessarily pretty, just cute and lovable?! I am very confused in my heart... (_o)/
Shocked, no more?! Gone?! Damn, are there any extras?
Shuihu's family doesn't have highlights, right? (?ò?ó?)
Okay, okay~ It's not easy for two people to fall in love! Come on! Chirmi~
Big, come on^0^~
Could it be that Xu Heng turned into a ghost?
