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

Page 142

“Kanae Kocho, my colleague,” Ryosuke introduced simply.

Kanae stepped forward and smiled gently.

Muichiro was momentarily stunned by that bright and gentle smile, and nodded woodenly, "Hello, Sister Butterfly..."

Ryosuke, in his familiar manner, led Kanae into the house.

"Where's your brother?"

"I do not know."

Muichiro followed him in and shook his head: "He went out early this morning without saying where he went."

Ryosuke didn't pay much attention and casually pulled a wooden sword from his bag and threw it over.

"Here, this is for you."

Muichiro looked up in surprise: "Mr. Ryosuke, what's this?"

"My training wooden sword."

Ryosuke explained, "Your brother always says you don't have the talent for swordsmanship, give it a try."

Mentioning his brother's evaluation, Muichiro's eyes dimmed, he shook his head slightly, and handed the wooden sword back.

"No need, Mr. Ryosuke, my brother... is right."

"Fucking fart!"

Ryosuke exclaimed and patiently tried to persuade him.

"Talent is a treasure bestowed upon everyone by heaven!"

"If you feel worthless, it only proves that your treasure hasn't been unearthed yet!"

There are countless paths in this world, and 360 different jobs. How will you know if you can do something if you don't try?

Kanae also stepped forward at the opportune moment.

“Mr. Ryosuke is right. There’s no harm in giving it a try. You might discover an unexpected side of yourself.”

Under the watchful eyes of the two men, Muichiro nodded.

Ryosuke gave a satisfied hum and turned to look at Kanae.

Kanae understood immediately.

At the same time, she was also curious.

What kind of talent could make Ryosuke and Kagaya value it so much?

"Then, shall I have my older sister accompany you to try it?"

Looking at Kanae's slender figure, Muichiro felt a little embarrassed: "But, but you, sister..."

"Don't worry, kid."

Ryosuke sat cross-legged in a very casual manner.

"Don't underestimate Kanae just because she's a girl. She's very strong. If I were to take action, I would be simply bullying you."

Muichiro understood and nodded to Kanae.

"Please guide me, Butterfly Sister."

The two stood in the open space outside the house.

Muichiro held a sword for the first time, and his posture was somewhat awkward and stiff.

He awkwardly adjusted himself to the weight and balance of the wooden sword, and after a while nodded to Kanae to indicate that he was ready.

Kanae stood there holding a sword, and her aura suddenly changed!

Her figure blurred suddenly and vanished in an instant, the wooden sword whistling through the air as it pierced straight at Muichiro's face!

Muichiro was shocked and didn't see Kanae's actions clearly at all.

However, just as the wooden sword was about to strike him, he reacted far beyond what ordinary people could do and retaliated first!

Muichiro suddenly turned to the side, holding his wooden sword in front of him!

Kanae's forward momentum halted, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

Her wooden sword was blocked by Muichiro.

Ryosuke, who was watching from the sidelines, also narrowed his eyes.

Muichiro continued his actions on the field.

He had never studied any swordsmanship, and his slashing techniques were chaotic and disorderly, sometimes chopping, sometimes slashing, sometimes thrusting, with no discernible pattern.

But each of his attacks was brief, swift, and unexpected.

Kanae became increasingly alarmed as the battle progressed.

She had to pull herself together and take it seriously.

The talent this boy has displayed is simply astonishing!

She couldn't believe it.

How could an eleven-year-old child who has just picked up a knife and has not undergone any systematic training possess such fighting instincts and swordsmanship potential!

After a few more moves, Kanae shifted her feet and leaped gracefully into the air.

The wooden sword unleashed a dazzling slash, as fleeting as a flash in the pan!

Flower Breathing - Fourth Form - Red Flower Dress!

A fierce offensive enveloped Muichiro.

The boy reacted extremely quickly, parrying and dodging repeatedly, but he was still no match for him.

With a crisp sound, Muichiro's wooden sword was skillfully knocked away.

"What are you doing!"

A sharp shout rang out, and the arena fell silent.

In the distance, Ichiro could be seen carrying large and small bags, as if he had just returned from the market.

"elder brother……"

Muichiro was stunned, and the sense of loss and embarrassment from his recent defeat suddenly surged up.

Ryosuke looked at Ichiro, who was covered in sweat, and the fruits and vegetables in his hands, and smiled slightly.

This brat!

He complained that he was annoyed, but when he knew I was coming, he still obediently went to buy groceries!

Kanae was also somewhat at a loss.

The way she was acting made it seem like she was bullying Muichiro.

"Well, I..."

Before Kanae could explain, Ryosuke walked over.

Ichiro's momentum immediately weakened by more than half.

But he couldn't free his hands at that moment, so he could only retreat passively.

Seeing Ryosuke reach out, he resignedly closed his eyes.

Ryosuke, unusually, didn't resort to violence and helped him carry the things in his hands.

"Alright, go cook when you get back. Is it appropriate to make others feel so awkward?"

Yuichiro glanced at Kanae and walked into the house without saying a word.

Ryosuke smiled at Kanae.

"Don't worry about it, you can continue."

Kanae responded with a smile.

Ryosuke walked into the house, dumped all the vegetables and fruits on Ichiro, and then lay down on the wooden tatami mat and stretched.

"Yeah, lying down is still more comfortable."

Ichiro ignored him and looked out the window at the two people outside.

Kanae explained the sword techniques and breathing methods to Muichiro, as well as the mistakes he made in his movements and how to deal with them.

Muichiro nodded, and the two practiced again.

Muichiro's progress is clearly visible.

With just a little guidance, his body and reflexes were able to keep up.

Yuichiro saw all this and subconsciously bit his lip.

Even though he didn't understand swordsmanship, he knew that Muichiro was talented and very strong.

Time passed by in a flurry of activity.

After lunch, Muichiro was in high spirits and showed no sign of stopping.

Kanae was also very patient and gentle with this handsome boy.

This time, Ryosuke spoke very little and stayed by Ichiro's side the whole time.

As the sun sets and the logging work ends, Ichiro carries the timber, his voice very soft.

"you win."

"Muichiro is indeed very talented."

"It's not that I won, it's that you realized it yourself."

Ryosuke stepped forward and patted him on the head.

"So, do you want to give it a try? Maybe you'll be even better than your brother."

"Not interested in!"

Yuichiro glanced at him and slapped his hand away.
