There must be something Ryosuke is doing outside that she doesn't know about!
Seeing that Amane's expression was becoming increasingly strange, Ryosuke didn't want to dwell on the matter any longer.
A good reputation can be a good thing or a bad thing.
I don't want to explain; justice resides in the hearts of the people!
Please God, distinguish between loyalty and treachery!
"Madam, I really didn't mean anything by it."
"I made a mistake."
Tenon readily offered a way out: "So, what was Ryosuke's original intention?"
"Simply protect."
Ryosuke patiently explained.
"Although this place is far from the hustle and bustle and seems peaceful, the danger has never disappeared."
"Evil spirits may come knocking on your door at any time, following the trail of people."
"Since we hope they can become our companions, we must at least ensure their personal safety if we cannot stay there permanently."
Ryosuke paused for a moment, then continued, "The probability of such a thing happening is not high, but it is not impossible."
After all, there are always some small, inexperienced bakeries that only dare to operate buffets in remote, impoverished areas.
The tragedy of the Tokito brothers also stemmed from this.
She is not an unreasonable person.
Prolonged tranquility can cause one to overlook potential threats.
After being reminded by Ryosuke, she realized that this was not an unfounded worry.
"Mr. Ryosuke's concerns are indeed valid."
"Evil spirits are rampant, and no one can remain unscathed."
"When I get back, I will explain this to Yaozai and arrange for reliable people to secretly protect the two brothers so as not to disturb their normal lives."
"That's good then." Ryosuke nodded.
Time flows like a stream, ceaselessly moving forward.
Two months have passed.
During this period, Ryosuke's life was busy and regular.
Besides completing his missions, he devoted most of his energy to training Sanemi and Masachika Kamino.
The two have gradually adapted and even take the initiative to ask for extra practice.
Ryosuke visits the Tokito brothers once a week, and shamelessly stays overnight each time.
Amane had to take care of Kagaya, so she didn't go with Ryosuke anymore.
Anyway, it doesn't make much difference whether she's there or not; Ryosuke can handle it all by himself.
Ryosuke never comes empty-handed.
Bring some pastries and fruits from town, or some interesting little trinkets.
Most of these items ended up in Muichiro's hands.
The boy's eyes always lit up, and his relationship with Ryosuke grew increasingly close.
As for Ichiro...
Anyway, he'll know how to comfort himself.
Initially, the two brothers disagreed on whether to join the Demon Slayer Corps.
The atmosphere at home was tense. When Ryosuke visited for the second time, they hadn't spoken to each other for a week.
But everything changed because of Ryosuke's intervention.
No matter how much Ichiro could tolerate, he couldn't ignore Ryosuke's existence.
More importantly, he was afraid that Muichiro would be kidnapped!
My simple-minded younger brother might actually be tricked and lured into joining the Demon Slayer Corps by this old fox!
Can he just stand by and watch Muichiro go into danger alone?
This sense of crisis forced Ichiro to put aside his pride and take the initiative to talk to Muichiro and reconcile.
Seeing the two getting along so well, Ichiro was quite unhappy.
This feeling is like that of an incompetent husband... no, brother!
Yuichiro even felt that Ryosuke and Muichiro were the real brothers, and he was just an outsider!
Yuichiro was angry, annoyed, frustrated, and driven to madness...
However, it was all for naught, and he could only sulk in silence.
There is no other reason, I just can’t beat him.
He really can't beat Ryosuke, that beast!
The cicadas chirped on a hot summer night.
In the middle of the night, Muichiro woke up thirsty and went to the kitchen to get a drink of water.
He glanced at Ryosuke's bed, which was empty.
Muichiro's heart tightened, and he walked to Ichiro's bedside and called out softly.
Ichiro asked impatiently, "What?"
"Mr. Ryosuke has disappeared..."
Muichiro was very worried: "I hope nothing bad has happened to him."
Yuchiro rolled over, feeling very annoyed.
"Don't worry about it! That guy is as strong as a monster, what could possibly happen to him? Maybe he just went for a walk, go to sleep!"
Muichiro didn't say anything, and tiptoed outside.
Watching his younger brother's retreating figure, Ichiro recalled the image of his father leaving home on a stormy night, and felt inexplicably uneasy.
"I'm sick!"
He cursed under his breath and followed them out.
The two brothers walked into the woods one after the other, amidst the rustling of insects.
They hadn't gone far when they heard some noise ahead.
The two exchanged a glance, then tiptoed and carefully parted the bushes.
The sight before them made them hold their breath.
In a clearing in the woods, a hideous monster sat slumped on the ground.
Ryosuke approached unhurriedly, surrounded by crackling arcs of lightning.
"Finally, you've arrived, little bread shop that's open a buffet in these mountains and fields."
The demon stared at Ryosuke in terror, as if recalling some horrible rumor, its voice shrill and trembling.
"Lightning... White Blade! You...you're that perverted Ring Hashirama from the Demon Slayer Corps! What are you doing in a place like this?!"
Is it appropriate for a demon to say such things to me?
That scumbag boss is utterly despicable! Quickly check the soldiers you've commanded!
Ryosuke rolled his eyes and suddenly swung his Nichirin Blade down!
The demon's head flew off, and its body collapsed to the ground.
[Slaying a mid-level evil spirit grants 1 year of lifespan; remaining lifespan: 46 years and 13 days.]
The quality of the ghosts killed during missions has been relatively low lately.
In addition, Ryosuke was busy training Sanemi and Kōchin and did not make a point of cleaning up the area.
Even with frantic efforts, the lifespan is approaching 50 years.
Unlock half of the three-piece set...
Should I max out the Lightning and Thunder mode, or save up for a bigger push later?
As Ryosuke pondered, footsteps approached.
Muichiro came to Ryosuke's side and asked with concern.
"Mr. Ryosuke, are you alright?"
Chapter 126 There is absolutely no other thought.
Ryosuke shook his head: "Did I disturb your sleep?"
"You already know, why are you asking!"
Yuichiro smirked and struck up a conversation.
Muichiro ignored his brother and stared in astonishment at the still-dissipating corpse of the demon on the ground.
“Mr. Ryosuke, this can’t be what you were talking about…”
Ryosuke sheathed his sword and explained, "A man-eating demon."
"They have a strong regenerative ability and cannot be killed by ordinary swords. Only sunlight or a specially made Nichirin Blade can cut their necks."
Muichiro nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.
He looked at Ryosuke, his eyes filled with gratitude.
"Mr. Ryosuke, do you always protect us and fight the demons like this every night you come here?"
That's good!
