Even with Ryosuke's current physical condition, he can only last for five minutes at most.
When the time comes, regardless of whether you manage to kill the other party or not, you will be out of a job.
The effects of Thunder Prison Heavenly Punishment and Thunder Ring Heavenly Guidance are also quite good.
It seems I still need to repeat the movements and train my body.
With the ultimate skill, the mana bar can't keep up.
Ryosuke had recovered somewhat and glanced at them.
Konno Masachika and Obanai got up with sensible groans.
Screams of agony echoed across the training field once again.
Inside the ward, Sanemi silently watched all of this as the corner of his lips twitched.
Ryosuke's improvement means that the intensity of his future training will increase.
But once I become a pillar queen, I probably... won't be ravaged by him anymore, right?
Sanemi scratched the tip of his nose, trying to comfort himself.
Life went on as usual, at least on the surface.
Aside from his missions, Ryosuke continues to keep his strange promise, following Kanae around like a shadow.
Training, gathering herbs, handling affairs of the Butterfly Mansion...
He was involved in almost all of Kanae's daily life, and the two acted as if nothing had ever happened.
However, Shinobu's attitude towards Ryosuke took a complete 180-degree turn.
The familiarity of the past has vanished.
As soon as Ryosuke appears in her line of sight, Shinobu Kocho turns her back on his head and gives him a cold, hard look.
Or they would silently condemn it with a look of utter contempt, occasionally accompanied by a nasal "humph."
Once, Ryosuke wanted to discuss the purification of wisteria flowers with Shinobu Kocho. He had just called out "Shinobu" when she left without looking back.
"Did I offend her recently?"
Ryosuke looked at Kanae, completely baffled.
Kanae chuckled lightly: "Perhaps it's because Mr. Ryosuke and I are too close."
Are we close? Not really, we're not in a negative distance.
Ryosuke shrugged and stopped worrying about it, simply assuming it was just a teenage girl going through a rebellious phase.
The progress on the Tokito brothers' side is going relatively smoothly.
Muichiro, having just begun to learn swordsmanship, seemed to have finally found something he could do well, and his whole demeanor became much more cheerful.
Every time Ryosuke and Kanae visit, he pesters them for advice, a stark contrast to the timid and confused boy he once was.
Yuichiro still had that sour face and spoke sharply.
But every time Ryosuke and Kanae came, he would prepare extra food.
He complains while cooking, but his hands move very efficiently.
What surprised Ryosuke the most was...
The boy quietly built a small wooden hut next to the main house, with clean bedding inside.
"This is……"
Kanae was somewhat surprised when she first saw the little wooden house.
"It's here for you to stay!"
After saying that, he glared at Ryosuke fiercely.
He believed that his actions indirectly stopped Ryosuke's perverted behavior.
After all, if Ryosuke frequently engages in outdoor activities, he might inadvertently corrupt Muichiro!
I'm doing all this for my brother's physical and mental well-being!
Looking at the thoughtful young man, Ryosuke smiled but didn't explain.
Because this is indeed much more convenient.
A month flies by.
Sanemi's injuries have completely healed, and he is now full of energy.
The meeting was held as scheduled.
Chapter 138 Don’t take the usual path
When I saw Kagaya again, he looked a little better than before, and the scar on his forehead had not spread violently.
However, those once clear eyes are now even more empty, and their reaction to light is becoming increasingly weak.
Complete blindness is really not far away.
Kagaya announced Shinazugawa Sanemi's achievement in slaying Lower Moon One, Ubume, and officially assumed the position of Wind Pillar, succeeding Shimada Go in his duties and jurisdiction.
Shimada is happy to retire.
He patted Shimi's sturdy shoulder.
He indicated that this was the last meeting of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) that he would attend.
After I retire to the second line, I'll go visit Shizuru Mizukawa whenever I have free time.
The key is……
I'm finally free from being tormented by that jerk Yasui Ryosuke!
Wow ha ha ha ha!
The following process was as usual: annual summary, minor adjustments to the jurisdiction, and determination of the time for the final assessment of the next term.
After the meeting, Kagaya called Ryosuke over for his usual private tutoring.
The aroma of tea wafted through the air inside the room.
Kagaya asked about the recent situation of the Tokito brothers.
Ryosuke reported the truth and also mentioned Muichiro's amazing talent.
Although Ichiro was not tested, his talent and potential were not bad, but his temper was a bit bad.
Yaozai pondered for a moment, then changed the subject.
“Mr. Ryosuke, I don’t mean to interfere in your private life, but I’ve recently heard that you seem to be getting quite close to Kanae?”
Ryosuke readily admitted it.
"Yes, there is a reason for this. I cannot go into details at the moment. Please forgive me, my lord."
Unable to explain Doma's threat, he could only offer this excuse.
Yaozai didn't press further, only smiled faintly.
“I naturally trust Mr. Ryosuke’s character.”
"However, the Iikura area of Azabu Ward in Tokyo Prefecture has been quite unsettled recently, with a series of people going missing. The signs are strange and may not be the work of an ordinary evil spirit."
"I hope you can go with Kyojuro to investigate and handle this matter."
Being personally selected by Kagaya means the task must be extraordinary.
Ryosuke had no reason to refuse and immediately agreed.
"Understood, I will meet up with Kyojuro as soon as possible."
However, this task also disrupted his original plans.
Ryosuke also took the opportunity to propose a backup plan.
"My lord, while I am on a mission, could you please not assign Kanae any outside missions? I know this request is presumptuous, but..."
Yaozai raised his hand and gently interrupted him.
"It's alright, Mr. Ryosuke, please go ahead without worry. I trust you won't do anything that would harm the Demon Slayer Corps."
"As for Kanae's task, I will assign it to others as appropriate."
"She has been working hard for the Butterfly Mansion, so it's no harm for her to take a break."
That's exactly what I've been waiting for, boss!
If I can't go with her in person, I must at least ensure Kanae's safety.
According to the vague information in the original work, Kanae encountered Doma before dawn.
After Doma killed her, he didn't have time to eat her because of the sunrise.
The time constraints were very tight.
Moreover, with the tasks of the pillars being distributed out, it will certainly require more manpower to handle them.
Even the best swordsmen, no matter how fierce they are, can never match the speed and strength of a Pillar-level swordsman.
The timing can be staggered.
After all, that scoundrel Doma spends his free time holed up in the Eternal Paradise Cult, nibbling on girls.
When they get tired of eating, they wander around looking for food, recruiting employees for their lousy boss to achieve top-tier HR KPIs.
Of course, to avoid the sacrifice of innocent people, Ryosuke also perfected the backup plan.
Ryosuke smiled and spoke.
"My lord, Kanae's task could actually be divided among two people."
"Oh? Mr. Ryosuke has a recommended candidate? Is it Sanemi, who just took office?"
What a damn thing to do now!
If Douma doesn't beat him until he shits, then he's done his business!
