The relationship between Shinobu Kocho and Giyu Tomioka cannot make huge progress overnight, unless Giyu Tomioka finally blossoms. Of course, this kind of sudden change in their relationship is not suitable for them either; a slow and steady approach is better.
Neither of them had started using their Demon Slayer Marks. Putting aside their status as elite members of the Demon Slayer Corps, they were just ordinary people in their early twenties with no romantic experience.
They have plenty of time.
In contrast to these two is Tanjiro and Kanao. Although they both have feelings for each other but haven't explicitly expressed their feelings, Tanjiro and Kanao's progress far surpasses that of Shinobu and Giyu Tomioka.
At the main gate of the Zaomen family mansion.
Tanjiro and Kanao looked at each other, and after a brief exchange of glances, both of them blushed slightly and lowered their heads, with wisps of white steam slowly rising from their heads.
Time passed slowly, causing Chika, who hadn't been spying on the young couple's hobbies, to frown slightly, wondering why Tanjiro hadn't brought Kanao in yet after so much time.
Could it be... that something really has happened?
Qianxia slightly extended her sensory network to explore outwards, and what she found there was quite a shock.
Something happened?
The two of them were hit by a petrifying ray called "Love." Does that count as an accident? They're truly a couple deeply in love...it's quite amusing!
As she lay back in the recliner, Qianxia moved her lips slightly, a knowing smile playing on her lips.
Chika calmly shut down her sensory network again. Although she enjoyed watching sweet moments, she decided to let such sweet moments settle down on their own.
While they were shyly talking about their love, Chika felt she couldn't just sit idly by. There were so many apprentices resting in the sword-fighting hall; she couldn't just leave them sitting there doing nothing.
Qianxia stood up from the recliner, and her action immediately attracted the attention of all the apprentices in the sword hall.
With all eyes on Chika, she spread her hands and said, "Your teacher Kamado has suddenly had something come up and won't be back for a while."
Upon hearing this, the crowd below erupted in joyful roars. While they were serious about wanting to learn swordsmanship, they were also serious about wanting to rest because they were exhausted.
short time?
Please! Give us an hour's break!
Just as everyone was thinking this, Qianxia in front of them suddenly tilted her head slightly and a faint smile appeared on her face.
What Chika said next made her seem like a messenger from hell, giving everyone goosebumps.
"Celebrate! Rejoice! Although your Kitchen God teacher can't come, I'm here to fill in. With the guidance of us Kitchen God siblings, you little guys really have a bright future ahead of you!"
After Chika finished speaking, she put her hands on her hips and laughed heartily, which amplified the ominous premonition in the hearts of the many apprentices in the sword hall.
An hour later.
Tanjiro and Kanao finally recovered from the joy of their long-awaited reunion.
When Tanjiro realized that he had lingered outside for an hour and the students inside the sword club had rested for a full hour, he suddenly grabbed Kanao's hand and quickly ran back to the sword club with her.
"Sorry! I've wasted so much of everyone's time. We'll continue now..." Tanjiro rushed into the sword hall, but before he could finish speaking, he was so shocked by the scenes he saw that he swallowed the rest of his words.
Qianxia was seen wielding a wooden sword, facing off against all the students present. Her overwhelming numerical advantage was utterly insignificant in the face of her absolute superior strength.
"Weak backhand! Ineffective forehand! Loose footwork! Slow reaction time! Have all these days of training been for nothing? Not a single movement is decent. You think you can become real swordsmen like this? Kendo is not a child's play!"
Chika easily parried the attacks from the apprentices. She did not retaliate, because if she seriously fought back against the attacks of these children, it would be simply bullying them.
However, while physical retaliation was ineffective, Chika relentlessly launched a mental offensive.
It should be noted that Chika's sharp tongue was at a level high enough to break Muzan's defenses repeatedly, but these apprentices did not lose focus after hearing it. Instead, they gritted their teeth and continued to attack Chika.
Chika thought to herself, "Very good!", but in reality, she still wore a cold and indifferent face, continuing to verbally lash out at everyone until they were all covered in sweat and lying on the ground, unable to move.
"His swordsmanship is far from good, but his fighting spirit is barely passable."
After saying this, Qianxia turned her back to everyone and looked at the two people standing blankly at the entrance of the sword hall.
As the target unit changed, Chika transformed into a master of face-changing, and a gentle smile immediately appeared on her face.
"Kanae? Long time no see~"
"Hmm... Sister Chika, it's been so long..."
Kanao was a little nervous because she rarely spoke directly with Chinatsu. After all, she herself was won over by Tanjiro during the year that Chinatsu was in a coma. Before that, Chinatsu was a very busy person, either exterminating demons or on her way to exterminating demons.
Chinatsu's gaze gradually shifted from Kanao to their still-holding hands, and a comical smile appeared on her lips.
As Chika's gaze shifted, the two realized they were still holding hands. Their cheeks flushed bright red, and they quickly let go of each other's hands.
Looking closely at the two shy people, Chinatsu made a "tsk tsk tsk" sound with her lips.
Looking at the two people in front of her and listening to the wailing and howling of the students behind her, Qianxia suddenly lost all energy to continue training with these students.
She patted the two of them on the shoulder, indicating that she would leave the rest to them, and then walked gracefully into the sword hall.
Just then, a jay flew in from afar, with a rolled-up letter tied to its leg. The moment it saw Chika, it was as if an earthquake had struck the jay's small eyes.
Chinatsu is hated by Kasugai-raven!
During the final selection, everyone was supposed to receive a Kasugai crow, but Chinatsu didn't, because no Kasugai crow dared to approach her, and the Kasugai crow hanging in the air at this moment was no exception.
In the mind of the raven, a scale appeared, with "professional ethics" tied to one end and "inner fear" hanging on the other.
After some hesitation, the raven violently swung the leg that was tied to the letter. Exhausted and struggling, the letter finally came loose and fell into Chika's hands.
After receiving the letter, Chika slowly rolled it up to see who had sent it to her. However, before she even rolled it up, Chika could roughly guess who had sent it.
Ganlu Temple·Mili!
