Demon Slayer: You call paying to get stronger "lightning"?

Page 43

But it's so late at night, does Pear Blossom want to hear a bedtime story?

It’s interesting!

Ryosuke couldn't help but laugh: "And then?"

"That ghost seemed to have had a pretty miserable life."

Shota's voice was hoarse: "According to his own mutterings, it seems that he was abandoned by his family because of his strange appearance, bullied by the villagers, and finally became a ghost and burned the entire village down..."

Ryosuke raised an eyebrow, having roughly guessed what would happen next.

Shota pursed his lips.

"Then Pear Blossom grinned, her expression hard to describe, a mix of disgust and...excitement? After hearing this, she said: 'Boring.'"

"Then he kicked the demon's head into the air, and with a few swift strokes of his Nichirin Blade, he sliced ​​the head into pieces in mid-air! Seriously! The kind of pieces that couldn't be put back together!"

After Shota finished speaking, he took a big gulp of water.

He grabbed Ryosuke's arm, utterly bewildered: "Ryosuke! Tell me! Tell me, is my sister possessed?!"

"She wasn't like this before! She wouldn't even watch a chicken being killed! She was so gentle and sweet."

"How could things have become like this... like this..."

He couldn't find the right words to describe the incongruity and shock.

Ryosuke's lips twitched slightly.

You just don't understand your lovely little sister well enough.

Don't let Pear Blossom's usual soft, sweet, and innocent appearance fool you.

Actually, she had a little bit of... gloom in her heart.

Well, to put it simply, it's perverted.

Ryosuke recalled that when he first transmigrated here, he was physically weak and plagued by chronic illnesses, and he often couldn't keep up with the training. Jigoro often gave him extra tutoring at night.

However, Grandpa was getting old and sometimes lacked energy, so in the latter half of the year, the task of delivering medicine in the middle of the night was handed over to Pear Blossom.

It's said that this girl asked for it herself.

At the time, Ryosuke thought it was the little girl's sympathy and kindness.

Later, I vaguely sensed a strange interest hidden deep in her gaze.

Ryosuke once thought that Rika would cut him open to see what was different inside.

But then...

It seems that the pear blossoms have awakened something extraordinary.

She treated him like a lovesick woman.

Tsk...that's really weird!

If I had to say something, perhaps it was because Pear Blossom was too clever, seeing through the cruelty and indifference of the world early on.

Her usual pretense was too elaborate, and the emotions she had been suppressing needed an outlet.

The cruelty of the Demon Slayer Corps and the twisted, tragic past of the demons tore open this wound, allowing her to reveal her true form.

But this is normal.

Even in times of peace, many people have psychological problems, let alone in this era teeming with evil spirits.

You'd be embarrassed to go out if you didn't have some kind of problem!

"Alright, stop scaring yourself."

Ryosuke patted him on the shoulder and comforted him with a smile.

"It's normal for your methods to be a bit intense the first time you kill a demon on your own. Don't overthink it. Rika is still your little sister."

Shota looked at Ryosuke with a skeptical expression: "Really?"

"if not?"

Ryosuke retorted, "You really believe she's possessed by something?"

Shota was silent for a moment, then nodded.

After much coaxing and persuasion, they finally managed to get the restless Shota to rest.

Before Ryosuke could even catch his breath, Uzui Tengen grabbed him and pulled him up.

"Ryosuke, you've had enough rest! Training! Training!"

"Are you crazy?"

Ryosuke looked at him with a sullen expression.

"Ryosuke, rest is a waste of life! Inspiration is fleeting!"

As Uzui Tengen spoke, he threw the wooden sword over without waiting for Ryosuke's agreement.

Ryosuke rubbed his temples resignedly and got into a fighting stance.

He not only has to slay ghosts, but also act as a sparring partner, and even work part-time counseling adults who have given up on life and troubled children with psychological problems...

Damn it! This family will fall apart sooner or later without me!

No sooner had the rant ended than Uzui Tengen swooped down.

The sound was deafening, and thunder roared.

A month passed quietly.

Aside from going out on missions, Ryosuke's time was entirely taken up by Tengen Uzui, which even made Rika resentful and ready to pounce.

Under such intense training, the two progressed rapidly.

With a loud bang, two figures emerged from the smoke and dust.

Yu Sui Tian Yuan wielded his twin swords, unleashing layers of sonic waves.

Sound Breathing - Second Form - Twin Blades Harmony!

His figure flashed forward in an instant, his twin swords flashing as the blades overlapped, like countless strings being plucked at the same time!

Countless slashes rained down on Ryosuke like a storm!

The area was extremely large and wide, almost completely blocking all escape routes!

Ryosuke's pupils contracted, and he immediately unleashed Thunder Breathing: Second Form: Inari Soul!

Thunder roared all around, and lightning thundered incessantly!

The two collided violently, and Ryosuke was pushed back several steps by the continuous force.

Yu Suitian's aura intensified, and his twin blades suddenly crossed in front of him!

Sound Breathing - Form 3 - Soul-Shaking Pendulum!

The fierce slashing storm was even more ferocious than before! A deafening roar suddenly exploded!

Wherever it went, dust billowed and stubborn rocks crumbled!

Ryosuke dared not be careless, and poured all his fighting spirit into Thunder Breathing: Fifth Form: Heat World Thunder, and fiercely met the attack!

The blazing lightning clashed fiercely with the solid blade!

Boom! ! !

The trembling, cracking sound echoed throughout Peach Mountain.

The two men retreated one after the other, their chests heaving.

Uzui Tengen's face was filled with excitement and ecstasy!

"It's done! Hahaha! Success! This is my magnificent Second and Third Forms!"

Yu Sui Tianyuan sheathed his sword and stood there, his silver hair flying, unable to contain his excitement.

"Area-wide strangulation and deafening roar! Perfect! Absolutely perfect!"

"Impressive! It balances both range and explosive power."

Ryosuke's sincere praise.

Although I was exhausted, it was a really good feeling to witness and participate in the birth of the new breathing method.

Ryosuke walked to the sidelines to wipe his sweat with a towel, and was about to tease Tengen Uzui when a sharp, urgent cry suddenly came from the sky.

The deep blue hummingbird swooped down like an arrow.

"Gah! Ryosuke Yasui! Level 6 order! Emergency!"

Ryosuke reached out and let the hummingbird land, frowning slightly: "Urgent order? What mission?"

"A request from Lord Gyomei of Himejima, the Stone Pillar! A demon is suspected to be lurking in Takinogawa Village, and several people have gone missing! You are ordered to investigate immediately! Ga!"

Ryosuke paused, a look of confusion on his face.

"Am I level four?"

"Ryosuke Yasui! Rank 7! Rank 7!"

The hummingbird repeated itself.

"You still know!"

Ryosuke jabbed its head hard with his middle finger, so fast that it left a blur.

"That great monk on Beiming Island is a pillar! He wants me to go on his mission?!"

Is there no law anymore? Is there no justice?!

The hummingbird didn't respond; it just tilted its head and looked at him.

Liang Jie rubbed his forehead and stopped complaining.
