"You've just arrived, so just focus on training with Mr. Urokodaki. Moriyama may be a bit noisy, but he's reliable. You can contact him if you need anything."
Having said that, Ryosuke didn't linger any longer and turned to leave.
Watching the boy's figure disappear into the depths of the mist, Shinobu blinked and gently nudged her older sister beside her with her elbow.
She tilted her head and asked softly, "What do you think of Mr. Yasui?"
Kanae clearly didn't expect Shinobu Kocho to ask that question.
She thought for a moment, then a gentle smile appeared on her lips.
“Mr. Ryosuke… is a very sincere person, very capable, and very reliable.”
She paused, as if remembering something interesting, and raised her hand to lightly cover the corner of her mouth.
"Sometimes, though, I seem a bit lazy."
Butterfly listened to her sister's evaluation and her eyes darted around.
Hmm~ It seems like your sister has a good impression of him!
I also think this person is alright, much better than that annoying senior!
I just don't know if he has a girl he likes.
If he could be with his sister... that wouldn't be bad!
Kanae looked at Shinobu's sly smile with some confusion.
"Shinobu? What are you laughing at?"
"Nothing! Nothing!"
Shinobu Kocho quickly waved her hand, pretending to be busy.
When Ryosuke left Narrow Mt., the sun was already setting in the west.
Lightning crackled beneath his feet as he moved at incredible speed, the scenery on either side rushing past him.
Even so, by the time he arrived at the mission location, it was completely dark.
A few lonely stars hung in the inky black sky.
As soon as I stepped into the town, an ominous aura swept over me.
As Ryosuke delved deeper, his brow furrowed more and more.
The houses on both sides of the street had pale lanterns and funeral banners hanging in front of their doors, and the night wind swirled the scattered paper money in the air.
"It seems quite a few people have died here recently."
Ryosuke thought to himself, raising his vigilance to the highest level.
It was so quiet here that it was as if all living things had their throats choked, afraid to make the slightest sound.
He shuffled his feet, extending his senses to their maximum, carefully examining everything around him.
However, while he was on high alert, he did not notice that a gray, tender sprout at his feet had silently disappeared.
Almost instantly, three dark figures swooped down from the eaves on both sides!
The claws tore through the air, aiming straight for Ryosuke's head and back! The angle was extremely tricky!
Without even looking, Ryosuke drew his Nichirin Blade from his waist!
Thunder Breathing - Third Form: Gathering Mosquitoes into Thunder!
The raging blades transformed into a thunderous storm and swept out!
laugh!laugh!laugh!
Three muffled thuds of flesh being slashed rang out simultaneously!
Before the three demons could even scream, they were instantly dismembered and turned to ashes!
[Slayed three low-level evil spirits, gaining 30 days of lifespan. Current remaining lifespan: 1 year and 266 days.]
The system's notification sound was cold and rapid.
Ryosuke sheathed his sword and stood there, his cold gaze sweeping across the surrounding rooftops, the gleaming white blade shimmering with a chilling light under the moonlight.
"You coward hiding your head and tail, come out!"
Snap, snap, snap...
Slow clapping came from the depths of darkness, and a figure stepped out.
He was much larger than the three evil spirits from before, and the blood aura emanating from his body was several times denser. His mouth was stretched into an exaggeratedly wide grin.
"Nice reaction."
The demon's voice was hoarse and filled with excitement.
"Fast speed, sharp blade... Hehe, it's been a long time since I've tasted the flesh of a Thunderclap Swordsman, it must be very chewy!"
Ryosuke's gaze sharpened, and he subconsciously took a half step back.
This ghost has a stronger ghostly aura than any of the ones we've encountered before!
Ryosuke focused his gaze, his fighting spirit surged, the ground beneath his feet slightly sank, and lightning flashed!
Breath of Thunder·Shape of One·Thunderbolt Flash!
The sharp blade arrived in an instant!
The demon was clearly not prepared for Ryosuke's speed and hurriedly swung its claws to block in shock!
The evil spirit was so shocked that it had to retreat repeatedly, its arms going numb.
However, Ryosuke's offensive was like a storm, giving him no chance to breathe!
Thunder, carrying intense fighting spirit, exploded with a deafening roar!
Breath of Thunder·Two Types·Rice Soul!
Five bolts of lightning struck down heavily, exploding with thunder and unstoppable force!
The evil spirit struggled to cope, its body constantly being afflicted with deep, bone-revealing wounds.
He was shocked and realized that he had seriously underestimated Ryosuke's strength!
The demon severed its arm to survive, staggering backward.
He was panting heavily, and with a single claw, a fierce aura emanated from him!
"Blood Demon Art..."
"Screw your blood! Go talk to my Nichirin Blade if you have something to say!"
Ryosuke forcibly interrupts the spellcasting!
The next moment, he sprang up, his speed reaching its maximum!
Thunder Breathing - First Form - Thunderclap Flash - Triple Strike!
laugh!laugh!laugh!
Three bolts of lightning flashed in succession, tearing through the night sky!
The demon's blocking motion froze in mid-air, and its head hit the ground.
[Slaying the ultimate evil spirit grants 5 years of lifespan; current remaining lifespan: 6 years and 266 days.]
Just as Ryosuke was about to sheathe his sword, he suddenly took several steps back and looked into the darkness in the distance.
The thick, ghostly aura that filled the air did not dissipate; instead, it began to surge and expand violently!
The aura that had just startled Ryosuke was not from that demon!
There is an even stronger demon here!
A cold wind blew by, and suddenly an ethereal song rang out on the dark and eerie street.
"The cage gap, the cage gap, the birds in the cage always want to escape. On that night before dawn, the crane and the tortoise slipped and fell. Who is behind you?"
Nursery rhymes drifted in from all directions, as if many children were softly humming them, sending chills down one's spine and making one's heart ache.
Ryosuke gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, his entire body tense.
The increasingly dense ghostly aura seemed to be blocking his breath!
In the shadows, a small figure slowly emerged in the moonlight, walking step by step.
She was a girl who looked young, with short, snow-white hair, a pair of small, ghostly horns on either side of her forehead, and eerie blood-red whites in her eyes.
Blood was dripping from her lips and fingers.
The girl stared at Ryosuke, her eyes flashing with a twisted light of extreme excitement. Then she stuck out her tongue and slowly licked away the bloodstains from the corner of her lips, letting out a sickly yet sweet laugh.
"That's great... You're so strong... So amazing..."
Her voice was as ethereal as her nursery rhymes, yet it carried a chilling greed.
"I've digested the taste of that bloody liquid, but I'm still so hungry, so very hungry..."
"If I eat you...if I eat you...I'll definitely become stronger! Stronger!"
As she spoke, a vast, surging wave of ghostly energy was released without reservation, instantly enveloping the entire Yuepu Town!
The air around us seemed to freeze!
The moment she looked up, Ryosuke clearly saw two words etched in her blood-red left eye.
Chapter 45 This is the moment I've been waiting for! You bastard!!!
The fourth moon of the waning moon! A lone seed!
She doesn't have much of a role in the original work, only appearing during the year-end layoffs of the Twelve Demon Months.
Unable to answer the question posed by the scumbag boss in a manner reminiscent of Muzan's girlfriend, she was choked to death in a flash, becoming the runaway sister who saw the pillar.
Lingyuzi appeared here and organized a group of evil spirits to attack Yuepu Town for the rare blood she mentioned.
There are people among humans who possess special blood types, which can be understood as the "panda blood" of today.
Their flesh and blood are a great tonic for demons, and eating them can quickly increase their strength.
