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

'Is not it? '

[Are you also responsible for spoiling me every time? 】

Even so, Shadow said this with a smile.

'Huh...really?Then I will forcefully pull you out next time? '

[…Okay, then I bet you won’t be soft-hearted next time. 】

'I won't...'

She subconsciously opened her eyes as if she was retorting forcefully. Not only that, but her pretty face that was slightly red also revealed her guilty conscience at the moment.

[Then... we'll see. 】

For Ying, the other party has said these words countless times, but every time she will let her go. She can guarantee that the other party will still lose when the time comes, because... both of them know it well.

While the mother and daughter were talking and laughing... the sky gradually turned into a faint light, a trace of golden light gradually emerged from the mountains in the sky, and the originally gloomy woods began to become warmer.

That's right, it's dawn.

For Tanjiro, the seventh and most difficult day was finally over.

In front of you is a path surrounded by wisteria flowers. It is a safe path leading to the back mountain and is also the end area of ​​the assessment.

The general walked to the wisteria flower and raised his hand to touch its flowers. The fragrant sound also filled her nostrils at this moment, wondering if there would be a few gorgeous butterflies flying through it and swirling around her.

"Nezuko is the most beautiful!!"

Suddenly Tanjiro yelled something incomprehensible in a sick voice.

"??"

The general looked at him in confusion upon hearing this, with some incomprehensible questions in his eyes.

"Sick?"

She asked venomously.

"Uh... no no... uh hehe!"

The other party smiled awkwardly. This was his habit. Whenever he saw a beautiful woman, he would subconsciously use Nezuko to calm himself down.

"call…"

She sighed slightly and ignored the man who had not taken medicine. She turned and walked towards the open space in the distance.

A golden light... What caught the eye was the original open space with only a torii gate standing there. There were wisteria patterns hanging on the edge of the torii gate, and there was a stone brick road that was neither wide nor narrow in the center.

Several people had already arrived here before them. Apart from the boy next to her, there were three people in total, two men and one woman. They should all be members who had completed the assessment. In other words... there were more than 20 people in total. The rest were either eaten. , or still lost in the jungle.

During this period, Tanjiro walked to a few people in a daze, looked at the three people around him, and looked sad... He knew what it meant to have only three people coming back.

The general didn't pay much attention... During this period, he came to a few people with light steps and observed their appearance intentionally.

One is a fierce boy with an airplane head and wearing a dark haori, the other is a boy with yellow hair and a yellow haori and an uneasy face, and the third is... a girl with a side ponytail wearing a cherry-colored dress like a miko. , the other party is currently playing with the butterfly on his fingertips.Even the hair accessories were in the shape of butterflies, reminding her of Shinobu's style.

By the way... I heard the other party mention it before... Shinobu's stepson was also arranged to take part in this assessment. Could it be this girl?

Demon Slayer: Self-cultivation as Naruhashira: Chapter 10: Can I let you travel alone?

"...?"

While watching the butterflies, Shanahu noticed the sight in the distance, silently turned her head and looked over, and found the figure of the purple-haired woman.

"..."

She nodded slightly to the general, with a faint polite smile on her lips.

"?"

This time it was the general's turn to be confused.

Does the other party know her?The action just now was not the kind of courtesy between strangers. Could it be that... Shinobu told the other party about her before?

Phew...this guy is really...

She shook her head slightly.

"Welcome back."×2

Ta-ta~×2

At this moment, there was a trace of delicate footsteps in front of them. The sounds were clearly plural but each time they were very neat, as if they were one person.

She also looked curiously and found that under the originally empty torii... now there appeared a pair of girls in kimono who seemed to be twin sisters.

The two of them stood side by side, one on the left and the other on the right. The girl on the left had white hair, and the girl on the right had black hair. They both had traditional sister hairstyles. They were both tied with wisteria flower hair accessories and wearing wisteria flower kimonos. Purple eyes stared at the few people who passed the examination in front of them with great stability.

"First of all, congratulations to everyone..."

【Returned safely through selection. 】

During this period, one of them was responsible for speaking half a sentence coherently and completely.

"Then what? What do you want us to do next?!"

The fierce young man on the side asked impatiently.

"Where's my knife?"

He lowered his voice and asked fiercely. He came here just for the Nichirin Sword.

"First, we will distribute the team uniforms to everyone..."

【Measure your body size...】

"Then the corresponding class is engraved."

[There are differences in classes, and they are divided into ten levels according to high and low...]

"Class A."

[Class B. 】

"Class C."

【Class D】.

……

.........

"The last one is Jie Gui."

[The class you are in now...is the lowest class, Gui. 】

This sentence... no, it should be said that all the previous words were said to the four people in front of them. It was obvious that neither of them looked at her position, as if she was special, or she was excluded.

"Tsk...Where's the knife?!"

The other party was still asking persistently. During this period, she glanced at the other party speechlessly. If you shout, can you still shout out the knife?

"Today, you can first choose the 'jade steel' you need to use for forging knives..."

[It will take at least ten to fifteen days from beginning to forging the knife until it is completed. 】

"Hey...what is it?"

The young man smacked his lips impatiently, showing that he couldn't wait any longer.

"there's one more thing."

popping...

The white-haired girl clapped her hands.

woohoo...

Several crows flew from the sky, and they fell into the hands of people other than the general.

[The so-called eagle crow is a kind of crow used to convey information. They will follow you in the future and distribute the tasks of the headquarters in real time. 】

"Isn't this a sparrow?"

The yellow-haired boy looked at the sparrow on his finger and asked awkwardly, but the next second——

"Get out of here!!"

"Alas!!!"

A sudden roar startled him!

The general looked fed up and looked at the impatient young man with an airplane head.

Is this guy finished?

Whoa!

The boy who had swatted the crow away walked up to the two sisters with an angry step, raised his hand and roughly grabbed the other girl's hair!

hum~

The general only raised his hand slightly, and in less than a second, he put a lavender thunder element shield on the girl. One second after putting on the shield... the opponent's hand just hit the thunder shield!

呲呲!

"Ughhhhh!!"

A stinging pain spread throughout his arm, causing him to subconsciously groan in pain and take a few steps back. He quickly looked at his already somewhat black palm. Although he could still move, the pain was excruciating.

The general also kept his hand. The opponent's hand was only injured by the electricity and would recover in a few days.

"!"

Tanjiro was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked at the general. The general did not make any movement, as if nothing happened.

"Hey~! F-what happened?!"

The yellow-haired boy sat down on the ground and asked with some fear.

"!! You guy..."

The boy with the plane head looked at the girl who was still shrouded in the thunder shield in front of him, with an angry murderous intent on his face. He thought it was the girl who attacked him, but——

"It's really noisy."

clatter...
