Since that battle, the demons and the Demon Slayers once again entered a period of stalemate.
Without Onimushuji Muzan taking action himself, Onii could not completely kill the Demon Slayer Squad. Although Onibatsuji Muzan had overwhelming strength, even if there was even the slightest possibility of threatening him, he would definitely not do it.
Allow yourself to take risks.
At least he felt threatened by the so-called swordsmanship school, and there was a serious lack of information, so he had no intention of showing up.
Prepare for the worst, if another Jiguo Yuanyi appears in the world, the worst he can do is hide for another hundred years and wait for the other person to die before coming out.
The stalemate between demons and the Demon Slayer Corps has returned again, which means that the mortality rate of members of the Demon Slayer Corps has begun to decrease. However, due to the frequent activities of ghosts, the workload is still very heavy.
Especially as captains at the pillar level, they rarely have free time.
In addition to going out to perform tasks, I also practice swordsmanship.
In a certain courtyard of the Demon Slayer Headquarters.
The butterfly ninja was wearing a loose kimono for training, holding his Nichirin sword in both hands, staring at the front seriously and sharply, and then raised the Nichirin sword and waved it vigorously.
laugh!
A ray of light appeared on the surface of the Nichirin Sword, and a flying slash was struck.
But this slash was pitifully weak, no more than an inch, and it only flew three feet, barely leaving a shallow mark on the wooden stake in front of it before disappearing without a trace.
"Or not……"
Butterfly Ren sighed.
Her strength is too weak.
A year ago, she had already mastered the full set of normal skills, and now she has maintained this level for more than a year. Normally, she has fully possessed the strength of a pillar-level captain.
In fact, this is indeed the case, she has firmly reached the pillar level in terms of speed and flexibility.
But the problem is that her body is too small.
With a height of only 1.5cm and a weight of only 37kg, she is essentially equivalent to a small doll. Her performance in terms of pure strength is extremely poor, and she has almost never had the power to cut off the neck of a ghost.
Even though she learned swordsmanship from Zhen Shi, her performance in swordsmanship was still unsatisfactory.
Her sister Kanae, who practices swordsmanship at the same time as her, can easily swing a slash that flies ten meters away. She even combines her breathing method with swordsmanship to create very powerful new moves.
But she never could.
"If it's always like this, how can I help my sister..."
The Butterfly Ninja showed a look of reluctance and slashed with the Nichirin Sword several times in succession. However, due to his disordered state of mind, he was unable to make even a weak slash.
It was at this moment that Kanae's figure appeared in the courtyard.
She came to the side of Butterfly Ninja, took out a light-colored handkerchief, gently wiped the sweat from Butterfly Ninja's forehead, and showed a gentle smile: "Okay, let's take a rest."
Butterfly Ninja paused and said, "But I haven't been able to practice it until now..."
"Okay, okay, it's rare that I have nothing to do today. Come and go out for a walk with me in the afternoon."
Kanae interrupted Butterfly Ninja's words and smiled sweetly at her: "Practice is not useful if you rush it."
She saw the urgency of Butterfly Ninja to quickly improve his strength, but she also knew that practice required deep accumulation and foundation, and Butterfly Ninja may not be suitable for developing pure swordsmanship.
The powerful may not be the most suitable.
At this time, it is better to relax and take a rest and see if you can find other more suitable directions.
"……All right."
Seeing his sister's smiling face so close to him, the Butterfly Ninja finally put down the Nichirin Sword in his hand.
She returned to the house.
I rinsed my body, put on a coat, then came back to the yard, and went out with Kanae.
The two soon arrived in the town.
The town is almost full of poor people, most of the clothes are shabby, and only a few people have no traces of mending on their clothes. This is already a good part of life.
Kanae kept her smile that was gentle enough to melt people, and led Butterfly Ninja forward. Occasionally she encountered a road stall selling jewelry, so she stopped to take a look, and took off some beautiful jewelry for Butterfly Ninja to wear.
.
The Butterfly Ninja was not interested in accessories or anything like that, but due to her sister's preferences, she could only stand there and let Kanae do what she wanted.
"It's very beautiful!"
Kanae put another butterfly-shaped headdress on the butterfly ninja and nodded with great satisfaction.
Butterfly Ren couldn't stand her sister's praise and couldn't help but turn her head to the side.
At this glance, from the corner of his eye, he happened to see a man pulling a ball of hemp rope on a bridge not far away where people were coming and going. At the other end of the hemp rope was tied a child who looked to be only a few years old.
"elder sister."
Butterfly was stunned for a moment, then called out.
Kanae followed the butterfly ninja's gaze and immediately saw this scene. She was a little surprised. Then she put down the jewelry in her hand and led the butterfly ninja in that direction.
"Um, can you excuse me?"
Kanae chased after the man holding the child and spoke to him, still in a gentle tone.
"Um?"
The man looked back.
Kanae asked: "Excuse me, why is this child tied up? Is she a sinner or something?"
The man shrugged and said, "You'll understand just by looking at her, because she's covered in fleas and is extremely dirty, and she might even run away."
As soon as these words were spoken, Kanae and Butterfly Ninja understood that the man in front of them was not the child's parents, he was either a human trafficker, or he was bought.
Because today is an era of chaos, many people cannot even support themselves, and it is not uncommon for them to sell their children.
"Hello."
Kanae looked down at the little girl, greeted her, and said gently: "I am Butterfly Kanae, what is your name?"
The little girl remained silent.
She just looked straight at Kanae, with no sparkle or emotion in her big eyes, as if she was a numb corpse.
"She doesn't have a name. Her parents didn't give her one. Besides...it's almost done. You can stay away from her."
The man next to him answered instead, and as he spoke, he stretched out his hand to push Kanae away.
Snapped!
Butterfly Ninja, who was standing behind, took a step forward, took away the man's hand, and said with some displeasure: "Please don't touch my sister."
Although she is not good at strength, it is only compared to ghosts and other pillar-level team members. Ordinary people naturally cannot compare with her, and they will be staggered by her easily.
The man was slightly shocked, but then he became a little annoyed and said, "Hey, what's wrong with you? I bought this. If you want to talk to her, just pay!"
Butterfly Ninja turned his head and glanced at his sister. Seeing Kanae looking at the little girl with concern, he also understood what his sister meant. He stretched his hand into his arms and said, "Then I will buy this child."
"That's enough."
Wow!
As the words fell, Butterfly Ninja sprinkled a lot of money on the floor.
Then he grabbed the rope from the man's hand, and he and his sister Kanae pulled the little girl and ran.
"Hey, wait a minute!"
The man was also a little shocked and didn't react for a while.
The Butterfly Ninja showed a slight smile, and turned around while running: "It's better to pick it up quickly, the wind is very strong, it will be bad if it is blown away."
"Uh, is this okay..."
Kanae turned back a little embarrassed and said while running: "I'm sorry."
Although the man was annoyed, it was obviously irrational to chase Kanae and Butterfly Shinobu with money all over the place, and some people nearby had already begun to try to take advantage of the chaos, so he had no choice but to throw himself on the ground to protect his own money.
