"There's no one else at home, but my father said there are a few distant cousins we don't see very often..."
Distant relatives...
Ryosuke shook his head inwardly.
In this world, even close relatives are hard to keep, so how much sincerity can distant relatives have?
It's already merciful enough not to kick someone when they're down or exploit their family for their own benefit.
The future of these two girls, who have just lost their parents, living under the roof of others is predictable.
In this cannibalistic world, the laws of survival are cruel and direct.
The weak can only passively endure; only by becoming stronger can they take the initiative.
This is why Ryosuke, even with the system attached to him, dared not slack off in the slightest and worked tirelessly to cultivate.
Ghosts aren't like chives in a field; you can't just encounter them whenever you want.
Especially those superior small bread rolls with slightly better quality are even more cunning.
They are mostly elusive and can even perfectly blend in with humans.
While striving to improve oneself is painful, it is a real power that can be grasped in one's own hands.
Most importantly, this way you can save life points to the greatest extent possible.
This is Ryosuke's trump card and reliance.
The sky gradually turned a pale white, and the morning light shone through the window.
They appeared silently and handled the scene skillfully.
Ryosuke helped Kanae and Shinobu build a simple joint grave for their parents on the small hill behind the house.
The two sisters knelt before the grave, their heads bowed and shoulders trembling.
After a long while, Kanae pulled Shinobu Kocho up and turned to Ryosuke, who was standing to the side.
Kanae's voice was still choked with sobs: "Please, teach us how to slay the demons!"
Ryosuke was slightly taken aback.
He was still figuring out how to bring it up, but they brought it up themselves first.
"I understand."
Ryosuke nodded and said solemnly.
"My name is Yasui Ryosuke, and I am a member of the Demon Slayer Corps. If this is your choice, I will make an introduction to you."
Without hesitation, he immediately summoned a hummingbird and began writing a letter to Urokodaki Sakonji.
There's no way around it, Narrow Mist Mountain is just too authoritative!
Moreover, Kanae's Flower Breath was a derivative of Water Breath, while Shinobu's Insect Breath was a derivative of Flower Breath.
It was the perfect match for Urokodaki to lay the foundation and guide the direction for these two.
After that, Ryosuke set off on his journey with Kanae and Shinobu Kocho.
It must be said that the Butterfly Sisters are indeed highly popular female characters in the original work.
The older sister, Kanae, has a gentle and quiet temperament, with purple eyes like water.
Although her younger sister, Ren, is still young, she already has a pretty and delicate appearance, like a fragile porcelain doll.
With these two beautiful sisters by your side, they naturally attracted countless glances along the way.
Ryosuke couldn't help but feel a bit of a headache.
In his previous life, he was a shut-in and was very afraid of being stared at by others.
At the same time, the two sisters are physically weak and have just experienced a huge change, so they are exhausted both physically and mentally and their pace is not very fast.
Ryosuke also deliberately slowed down his travel speed.
It was several days later when they finally arrived at Narrow Mist Mountain.
Standing in front of the cabin on Mount Narrow Mist once again, Ryosuke touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed.
After all, they just sent over a black Obanai not long ago, and now they've brought over the Butterfly Sisters.
He felt like he was becoming the exclusive talent pipeline for the Narrow Mist Mountain.
Urokodaki Sakonji stood quietly in front of the house, his expression unreadable beneath the tengu mask, his voice as gentle as ever.
"Ryosuke, did you bring a new child again?"
"Mr. Urokodaki".
Ryosuke bowed respectfully and led the two sisters behind him forward slightly.
"The situation is roughly explained in the letter. They are Kanae Kocho and Shinobu Kocho. Please..."
Before Ryosuke could finish speaking, Urokodaki slightly raised his hand.
"Since you've chosen this path, then stay."
"The Narrow Mist Mountain will give you the opportunity to become stronger, but how far you can go depends on yourselves."
Kanae quickly pulled her sister and bowed deeply.
"Thank you! We will definitely try our best!"
Just as Ryosuke was about to slip away, Sakonji spoke up again.
“Sabito and the others haven’t returned from their mission yet. Ryosuke, why don’t you show them around the area first?”
I've started working as a tour guide again...
Ryosuke waved helplessly at the two of them.
Kanae smiled and followed behind Shinobu Kocho, pulling her hand along.
The Narrow Mist Mountain is shrouded in mist all year round, but visibility was still acceptable today.
Many teenagers were training in the woods, which was quite dazzling.
A mountain stream babbles, the training ground is rustic, and there are many huge rocks...
Ryosuke led the two girls, introducing them as they walked.
Kanae listened attentively, nodding occasionally.
Shinobu Kocho pursed her lips, carefully observing everything around her.
"here it is……"
"Ryosuke-san!!!"
Before Ryosuke could finish speaking, excited shouts came from afar.
With tears streaming down his face, Akira Moriyama lunged at him like a deformed creature, using both hands and feet.
The butterfly sisters were startled and hurriedly took a few steps back.
How can there be ghosts in broad daylight?!
Ryosuke, his face dark, slapped him across the face to prevent him from getting too close.
Akira Moriyama didn't care about that and tried to hug Ryosuke with both hands and feet.
"Ryosuke-san! You have no idea! This time, I encountered a demon..."
"Stop! Stop it!"
Ryosuke pinched his mouth shut, forcibly muting him.
He had worked so hard on his missions, killing demons with real guns and ammunition, that he really didn't want to hear about Akira Moriyama's lucky streak.
"Waaaah... Ughhhh!"
Unable to make a sound, Akira Moriyama could only gesture with his hands.
Ryosuke sighed and glanced back.
Akira Moriyama noticed the Butterfly Sisters behind him with strange looks in their eyes, and then quieted down a little.
"Don't go crazy!"
Ryosuke gave a fierce warning.
Akira Moriyama nodded repeatedly.
Ryosuke then released him.
Akira Moriyama straightened his clothes, trying to make himself look more approachable.
There's no way around it; men subconsciously pay attention to their image in front of beautiful women.
"Ryosuke-san, these two are..."
"The new disciples are Kanae Kocho and Shinobu Kocho."
Ryosuke introduced, then turned around: "This is your senior, Akira Moriyama."
Due to the shock they had just experienced, Kanae and Shinobu Kocho simply chuckled a few times as a greeting.
Akira Moriyama scratched his head and grinned sheepishly.
Ryosuke patted him on the shoulder and whispered, "This isn't your first time being a senior, so be more careful in the future."
"I know, I know!"
Akira Moriyama gave a few perfunctory words and then went up to strike up a conversation.
Ryosuke ignored the guy and gazed into the distance.
In the mountains and forests, a slender figure nimbly dodges forest traps.
However, when the wooden stake on the right came at her, Obanai was unable to dodge due to the defect in her right eye and was violently knocked away.
Chapter 43: Still Too Kind
Just as Ryosuke was about to step forward, Obanai stood up and dusted himself off.
