As a general, she cannot be a good daughter of Kage.

The general glanced outside and answered softly, his fingers stroking the hair on his shoulders.

In this world...she doesn't have anything to do, so she is relatively leisurely. If killing ghosts counts...then that's a different matter.

Looking at the way the general was stroking his hair, Shinobu smiled softly, then took out a small butterfly oath from his pocket and placed it in the general's hand.

"…What?"

The general was stunned.

"I made it in my spare time and gave it to you."

The other party was still a little proud when he said this.

"Hair accessories?"

She looked at the thing in her hand and wondered.

"Not bad, let's put it on and take a look? Do you need me to help you put it on~?"

The other party asked mysteriously.

"...No need~"

The general narrowed his eyes and said something like a stern mouth before putting it on his hair smoothly, which matched the oath of the folding fan.

"Haha~ Ms. Raiden acts like a child sometimes."

Shinobu smiled, and then stood up. He did not hold his hands on the ground but stood up as lightly as a butterfly, and teased her casually.

"...You have said this sentence countless times."

The general adjusted the position of the butterfly hair ornament while retorting casually.

"Really? I have no impression."

After the other party defended it skillfully, he walked to the medicine cabinet and started rummaging around according to the location the general said.

Sure enough, she was here. Seeing this, Shinobu smiled and put the fennel medicinal materials into the paper bag, and picked a few licorice by the way. As a pharmacist, she was already very proficient in the knowledge and planning of these things.

"Miss Thunder..."

"Call me general..."

The general sighed slightly and told the other party.

I've said it several times... the other party just won't change her words, and it's very awkward to always call her 'Miss Thunder'.

"...General...Miss?"

He couldn't hold back his smile and called her like this.

...even more awkward.

"'Miss' is redundant."

She looked at each other.

"Then...is Miss Thunderbolt better?"

Shinobu changed his mind anyway, leaving her speechless for a while.

"But...if that's the case...then I also call you Butterfly?"

She turned her head and said to the other party with a little revenge.

"No, Ms. Raiden wants to call me 'Nin'~?"

The other party smiled and answered her teasingly.

"Why? Since you don't call me that, then I will--"

"Haha~! Sigh...you are really childish, General."

Shinobu seemed to have had enough... He couldn't help but laugh, and finally used the title 'general', as if he had been teasing her from the beginning.

"...You...think you can be easily tricked, don't you?"

She narrowed her eyes in dissatisfaction.

"Pfft...Yeah~? Because the general is so cute~?"

The other party showed no introspection at all.

"...Huh...that's all, it's up to you."

Too lazy to argue with the other party... This guy's personality is a bit hard for her to deal with.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore."

Seeing her look, Ninja also coaxed her as if she was giving in.

"..."

However, the general still didn't reply, as if he had entered a daze again.

"General..."

Shinobu packed the medicinal materials and placed them on the cupboard. Then he regained his serious tone and called her.

"?"

The general looked at her slightly when he heard this.

"Would you like to... join the Demon Slayer Corps?"

Ren looked into her eyes, his face was very peaceful, less of the leisurely look of the past, and more of a serious look.

"...Demon Slayers? Is that the organization you belong to?"

The general has heard something about this...

She has known this Butterfly Ninja for more than a day or two, and she also knows his identity. She knows that he is a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, but she doesn't know much about this organization. Doesn't the name mean that he kills ghosts?

If that's the case, will there be any difference between her and her now if she joins?

She can also kill ghosts like this.

Demon Slayer: Self-cultivation as Naruhashira: Chapter 2 Ubuyashiki: My pants are gone!

"Not bad, aren't you quite smart~?"

Shinobu smiled slightly after hearing the general's question and teased her.

"Just by hearing the name, you know it's a ghost killer...why is it so complicated?"

She muttered speechlessly.

"Yes... the name is easy for outsiders to understand. People also have a simple stereotype of the Demon Slayer Corps, but how many people made this team with their blood?"

Shinobu looked at the wisteria flowers outside the window, and her tone was melancholy... as if she was recalling some kind of sad past. To say 'sad past', she was sure that almost everyone in the team had experienced it every day, and it was something that they had to experience. , otherwise I wouldn’t have full hatred for ghosts.

"After all, you are using your bodies to fight against those bizarre ghosts, so sacrifices... are inevitable."

The general said to her.

"..."

Ren turned his head silently and looked at her, without answering.

"I...said the wrong thing?"

Seeing that the other party was looking at her like this without saying a word, she asked awkwardly.

"Pfft... No, I just didn't expect you to reveal the essence of the Demon Slayer Squad in one word. That's right... we rely on our bodies to fight against those demons who have extremely strong healing abilities."

Shinobu gave her a sincere smile, and then walked back to the cupboard and started sorting out the medicinal materials that needed to be taken away. During this period, her sword was casually placed on the tatami next to the general, as if she had complete trust in her. .

Seeing this, the general curiously took the opponent's sword in his hand and weighed it. It was very light, not as light as a samurai sword.

Kacha~

Pulling it out of the scabbard... Looking at the somewhat special blade on it, the purple lines are as strange as running water, which is very different from other swords.

"Don't touch the blade..."

Shinobu glanced at her and casually reminded her.

"Why?"

The general retracted his finger and said in confusion.

"…poisonous."

Shinobu stopped packing and looked up at her and replied simply.

"Can you apply it?"

"good."

The general looked at the strange blade in front of him again. Different from the normal tachi, the blade was slender and the blade was like a silver needle. The tip of the blade was shaped like a barb. It was obviously a specially made one. The blade is shaped like a four-leaf clover, the handle is mint green, and the scabbard is silver-white to match.

She held the blade of the sword in front of her eyes and looked at the font '悪鬼' engraved on it, and the reverse side was 'kill'.

"You said this kind of knife is called...'Nichirin Knife'?"

she asked casually.

"Yes... a sword that can completely kill demons. The Nichirin swords of the members of the Demon Slayer Team are all specially made. The core of them echoes the breathing method of the sword holder."

'Breath' is a unique name here...it is considered a type of ability. Similar to their Teyvat's elemental power, it is also divided into several attributes. It's quite strange when you think about it.

"What is your...'poisonous' breath?"

asked the general.

"It's a bug~ I've told you many times, but I just can't remember~"

Miss Ren silently rolled her eyes at her. This expression would only appear when she was with her, and her tone was unusually coquettish.

The reason why she used poison was because she was petite and not strong enough to decapitate ghosts. She was a little uncomfortable at first, but now she gets used to it. The poison is very useful, she thought so.

Whoosh~!

The general held Ninja's sword and skillfully slashed a few swords in the void. It was indeed a bit uncomfortable. After all, this sword has no blade and can only be used to stab and hook. You can feel the resistance of the air when cutting out. Moreover, the blade was too light, and what was thrown out was her arm strength instead of the power of the knife. The most amazing thing is... the poison on the blade will not be thrown out. Is it solidified poison?

Click!

She smoothly put the poisoned Nichirin sword into its scabbard and put it back to its place unharmed.
