"Such foresight, such dedicated protection..."
"It's as if you already knew that Shinazugawa was a rare bloodline, one in ten thousand, and that he possessed extraordinary potential, or rather..."
Hirayama Yuuki leaned forward, lowering his voice slightly.
"You understand that if you don't go, something bad will happen to them."
The system's annoying voice rang in my mind, laced with undisguised schadenfreude.
[This chubby kid seems to be quite clever; he's got a sharp mind.]
[Host, you've gone too far, haven't you?]
Ryosuke didn't have time to pay attention to the system's complaints.
He never expected that this unassuming chubby boy, who didn't appear in the original story, would be so observant and have such a cunning mind!
He connected the clues through his correspondence with Kagaya and Sanemi, and deduced to this extent!
This guy may seem careless on the surface, but he's actually incredibly meticulous and has a very deep mind!
Hirayama Yuuki is definitely more than just a breeder!
His relationship with Kagaya is probably very close; he is likely a strategist hiding behind the scenes.
Seeing Ryosuke's serious face, Hirayama Yuki burst into laughter.
"Lord Naruhashi, please don't be nervous, don't take it to heart! I didn't mean anything by saying this, I was just rambling on and on!"
He suppressed his smile and his tone became more sincere.
"My attitude is the same as yours, my lord."
"Everyone has their own destiny and secrets that they are unwilling or unable to tell outsiders."
"In this world, who doesn't have a past or some unspeakable secrets?"
He raised the refilled wine bowl and looked solemnly at Ryosuke.
"I trust my lord's judgment, and I trust everything you've done for the Demon Slayer Corps. As long as the evil demons are eliminated as soon as possible, nothing else matters."
Ryosuke looked at his round face, and his wariness slowly dissipated.
He understood that Hirayama Yuki's words were more of a subtle probe and a gentle reminder than a demanding interrogation.
He and Yaozai might think that way, but what about others?
These four words are extremely deadly in any era.
Even someone as strong as Yoriichi Tsugikuni was still criticized by his former colleagues after he failed to kill Muzan and let Tamayo go.
Now that he is at the height of his fame, his every move will naturally attract more attention.
Even with Yaozai's help to clean up the mess, I still need to be more careful in my actions in the future.
Ryosuke picked up his wine bowl and said solemnly.
"Mr. Hirayama, I have learned a lot."
"What are you talking about?"
Hirayama Yusei raised his wine bowl to clink with hers and drank it all in one gulp.
Ryosuke and Hirayama Yuki went to the training ground and found Sanemi and Hirayama.
It's clear that Mitsuya is quite uncomfortable with Masachika Kamino's enthusiasm.
He pulled Ryosuke aside, feeling a bit of a headache.
"Could you ask him to talk less?"
Chapter 93 is too much!
Ryosuke glanced at the beaming smile on Kamino Masachika's face, who was gesturing wildly in front of Hirayama Yuki, and instantly understood.
Kugeno Masachika is simple-minded and straightforward, and clearly genuinely wants to get along well with Sanemi.
However, his overly enthusiastic social style was nothing short of torture for Sanemi, who was used to indifference and wariness.
However, Ryosuke understood.
Sanemi is a classic example of someone who says one thing but does another.
His frustration stemmed more from his awkwardness at not knowing how to deal with such straightforward goodwill.
If Sanemi were to actually stop Kamino Masachika from speaking, he would feel that he was being too stubborn and letting the other person down.
Before Ryosuke could even offer a word of explanation for Konno, Hirayama Yuuki, with his exceptionally high emotional intelligence, saw right through everything.
He clenched his chubby fist and gave Kubino Masachika's head a light tap.
"You brat! Tighten up! You're spitting all over people's faces, be more careful!"
Kugeno Masachika covered his head, nodding with a pitiful expression.
"Oh...oh! I understand, Mr. Hirayama."
Ryosuke crossed his arms and looked at Sanemi, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"Are you satisfied?"
Sanemi didn't reply, awkwardly shifting his gaze away.
Then, Ryosuke couldn't help but give a few more words of advice.
It's nothing more than "train hard," "listen to Mr. Hirayama," and "don't always throw tantrums."
Although it's a cliché, he still couldn't help but say it.
Sanemi pretended to be annoyed and agreed, but his eyes were full of reluctance as Ryosuke left.
The master leads you through the door, but the practice is up to you.
The road ahead is one that Sanemi must walk alone.
With his destined guide, Masachika Kamino, now in place, Ryosuke's mission is complete.
Hirayama Yuki, accompanied by two boys, watched him leave.
Kugeno Masachika waved his arms vigorously and shouted loudly.
Goodbye, Mr. Ryosuke!
Sanemi crossed his arms, his face expressionless, but his gaze remained fixed on Ryosuke's back until he disappeared at the end of the mountain path.
For some reason, a strange feeling suddenly arose in Ryosuke's heart.
This scene resembles a parent sending their child to school for the first time, giving the teacher countless instructions and then looking back repeatedly.
"Hey—"
Ryosuke chuckled at the association and shook his head.
The journey home will certainly not be peaceful.
Ryosuke deliberately took a detour, activating all his senses to search for traces of the evil spirit.
Perhaps because he cleaned up the little breads too frequently on the way here, Ryosuke only encountered a few small karami.
However, something is better than nothing; with each swift stroke, life points steadily increase.
Current remaining life expectancy: 10 years and 87 days.
Without hesitation, Ryosuke poured 10 years of his lifespan into the Fourth Form: Far Thunder.
[10-year lifespan infusion, remaining lifespan points: 87 days.]
[Thunder Breathing: Fourth Form - Far Lightning has been upgraded to its maximum level!]
[Unlock Advanced Form: Far Thunder - Flashpoint!]
Unlike the long-range bursts of the halberd, the Flash is a short-to-medium range dash slash, similar to a lightning flash.
However, when it was used, lightning leaked out and intertwined into a net.
Simply put, they are about the same length, but much thicker, resulting in a larger kill radius.
A truly spectacular and dazzling journey!
With his experience using Thunderclap Flash, Ryosuke mastered it after only a few tries and a little practice.
The rest is about learning from experience, accumulating practical experience, and integrating it into other sword styles.
Upon returning to Momoyama, Ryosuke saw Uzui Tengen sparring with his fellow disciples, and the training ground was surrounded by people.
However, these young people were either instantly killed by him or brutally beaten by him.
Uzui Tengen frowned, seemingly deep in thought.
"Brother Mingzhu! You're back!"
Someone in the crowd shouted.
As if his radar had been activated, Uzui Tengen immediately locked onto Ryosuke's location and charged towards him!
The tall, muscular man's extraordinary talent is like a runaway stroke of good fortune.
Before Ryosuke could react, he grabbed his shoulder and shook him excitedly.
"Ryosuke! You're back just in time! Come on! I need you to put some pressure on me!"
Ryosuke was dazed by his shaking, and after a while, he looked around.
Where are the pear blossoms?
Judging from Pear Blossom's pace and efficiency, she's probably already back before me.
In the past, that girl would have pounced on him long ago, but she was nowhere to be seen this time, which was really unusual.
Yu Sui Tengen wiped his sweat and spoke.
"He came back two days before you, which is strange. He said he was going to do special training, all mysterious."
Ryosuke raised an eyebrow, puzzled.
Can the Monkey King of Peach Mountain really focus on special training?!
