Anime: Re:Zero - Jobless Reincarnation

It would have been fine if I hadn't looked at it, but when I did, I was shocked. These two guys were actually planning to arm wrestle?

The middle-aged man really wanted to tell Mitsuri Kanroji one thing: You won the game, but you lost your life.

Kanroji Mitsuri saw the middle-aged uncle and shouted to him excitedly: "Uncle, can you help me be the referee?"

The middle-aged man sighed, but said nothing in the end. He walked up and nodded helplessly.

The two people's right hands began to close together, and when they shook hands, Mitsuri Kanroji was slightly stunned. The other person's hand was unexpectedly soft?

This kind of hand that seemed to have stayed indoors for a long time and had never done any farm work made Mitsuri Kanroji feel that the other party might really be a useless person.

At the same time, he was secretly considering whether he should let up a little so as not to cripple the opponent's hand.

The middle-aged man was also a little hesitant. Looking at Luo Ya's thin arms and legs, he didn't know whether he should shout "start" or not.

Luo Ya adjusted his posture and felt that it was about time, then nodded to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged uncle gritted his teeth, raised his hand and shouted, "Start."

The two men suddenly exerted force, and Luo Ya's muscles bulged. In addition to the strength of the wrist muscles, arm wrestling also requires the strength of the biceps, forearm flexor muscles, triceps, and brachioradialis.

The test was almost the entire arm's strength. Luo Ya was very strong, but he was not sure if he could defeat the opponent now.

At the beginning, Mitsuri Kanroji was still testing cautiously, fearing that she would accidentally break the opponent's arm. However, to her surprise, the opponent's strength was unexpectedly great. Mitsuri Kanroji began to try to increase her strength, but the opponent's wrist did not move at all.

As a result, Kanroji Mitsuri became bolder, and then, suddenly, Luo Ya felt a huge force coming at him. Luo Ya was slightly stunned, and his right hand was almost directly destroyed by this explosive force.

Fortunately, he reacted at the most critical moment and braked in time, so he was not killed instantly by the opponent.

Both of them were very strong, and Roya was a little overwhelmed by the other's strength. In terms of strength alone, Roya's original physical fitness was definitely able to overwhelm the opponent, but the problem was that Roya's own attributes had been reduced to only about 10%. This was because Roya secretly used the blessing of dragon blood, otherwise he might really be killed on the spot by the opponent.

After a moment's stalemate, Luo Ya tried to increase his strength in an attempt to get back the factory he had lost.

Sensing Luo Ya's resistance, Kanroji Mitsuri showed an extremely happy expression. She narrowed her large light green eyes and said in a rather teasing tone: "How about this? I didn't expect Luo Ya-kun to be so strong. However, I haven't even used half of my strength yet, you know?"

Luo Ya fell silent. He really wanted to say to this silly and straightforward girl that the last sentence you said was totally unnecessary. You are just provoking others.

Luo Ya forced a smile and said, "I didn't use all my strength. Although I probably won't be able to beat you in the end, I still have to give us boys some face."

The middle-aged man was shocked when he saw that Kanroji Mitsuri did not kill Luo Ya instantly at the beginning. He thought that Kanroji Mitsuri had come to her senses and could grasp the situation well even without his reminder. But upon closer observation, he found that Kanroji Mitsuri's muscles were tense and veins were bulging on her fair skin. This was not the sign of her letting Luo Ya go. Even if she did let Luo Ya go, it was definitely not as he imagined.

If you use a little imagination, you will find a somewhat terrifying fact, that is, the young man in front of you is surprisingly strong, and he is a monster who can compete with the woman in front of him.

The middle-aged man was a little overwhelmed.

Luo Ya took a deep breath and looked at Ganlu Temple Mitsuri with burning eyes. A faint pressure began to emanate from Luo Ya's body. Luo Ya's originally red-gold eyes became bright, and Luo Ya's heart was beating violently.

Then, Duang~

An irresistible force came over him, and the momentum that Luo Ya had just built up shrank. Luo Ya looked at Kanroji Mitsuri in confusion, only to see Kanroji Mitsuri showing a sweet smile and looking embarrassed.

The force was so sudden and more than twice as strong as before, killing Luo Ya almost instantly.

Luo Ya raised his hand quietly and saw that the back of his hand was red and swollen. Luo Ya was speechless.

The middle-aged uncle breathed a sigh of relief and shouted to his son-in-law in the house, "Hurry up and get the noodles out."

Luoya sighed and picked up the chopsticks to finish the remaining noodles one by one. Mitsuri Kanroji was still sitting opposite Luoya, eating sakura cakes and smiling brightly at him.

Of course, Mitsuri Kanroji wasn't just there for the sakuramochis. From time to time, she would try to ask Roya about his age and other things, and Roya would slowly say a word or two to her.

In a room far away, a man with mild disfigurement above his face and blindness was coughing from time to time. He listened to the report from the raven and suddenly stood up and muttered, "Luo Ya? Killed four ghosts without being able to breathe? He is a natural ghost hunter. We must win him over. Cough cough cough."

A woman next to him with silver hair, dignified and beautiful appearance, and very elegant temperament was wiping the sweat from the other person's forehead with a towel.

The man's name was Ubuyashiki Yoya, and he was the lord served by the Pillar. He had a handsome face when he was young, but his face gradually became disfigured as his illness worsened.

At the same time, due to his illness, he is born with a weak body and now has a feeling of being on the verge of death. He is still very young, but even so, he will inevitably cough a few times every time he speaks a few words.

The extremely beautiful woman next to him is Ubuyashiki Kakuya's wife, her name is Ubuyashiki Amane, and she has the blood of a priest family. It is she who has always taken good care of Ubuyashiki Kakuya and accompanied him through this difficult life.

Ubuyashiki Yoya said to Ubuyashiki Amane: "Amane, you must, ahem, bring him into the Demon Slayer Corps. We haven't had a decent member for a long time, ahem."

Taoshan, a short old man, narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard the other party's report, and then he seemed to remember something and said to the team member: "Four ghosts were hunted down with a fruit knife? A nobleman who ran away from home? Are you sure the information is correct?"

This is a short old man with white hair, a scar on his face and a prosthetic right leg.

His name is Jigoro Kuwashima, a former Sound Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps who masters the Breathing of Thunder. After breaking a leg while hunting demons at the age of 35, he has been living in seclusion in Momoyama to teach the younger generation and has trained many disciples who have mastered the Breathing of Thunder.

This team member was none other than the Demon Slayer Corps member who was surveying the scene, and he was none other than Jigoro Kuwashima's disciple. Recently, Jigoro Kuwashima was anxious about his legacy. Although he had accepted two disciples, both of whom had decent talents, the eldest disciple had always had some evil intentions, which caused him a headache. The youngest disciple, Zenitsu Agatsuma, had good talents and a kind heart, but the problem was that he was too weak in character, which always caused Jigoro Kuwashima a headache.

If the position of the Sound Pillar was given to the eldest disciple Giongaku, Jigoro Kuwashima always felt that something would go wrong, and now, he hoped to find the guy named Roya and see what his potential was.

He said to the Demon Slayer Corps member below: "You should have seen him, right?"

The member of the Demon Slayer Corps shook his head, but said, "Although I haven't seen him, I have one of his servants who can recognize him if he sees him. I heard from that servant that his young master is very handsome and has very distinct features, with dazzling blond hair and golden eyes."

Kuwajima Jigoro nodded, with an expression of understanding. After thinking for a moment, he said to him, "Then, you ask the servant to follow me. I want to go meet the son of the noble family."

After saying that, he picked up his cane and prepared to leave. As he was leaving, he remembered something and said to the person next to him, "Tell Zenitsu and Giongaku that I have something to do and have to leave for a while."

After saying that, he took his crutches and hurried away into the distance.

Chapter 112 Going up the mountain to kill ghosts

Luo Ya didn't know about the interesting things that happened in the distance. When he finished his meal, Ganlu Temple Mitsuri mustered up the courage to suddenly say to Luo Ya: "Um, Mr. Luo Ya, are you free?"

Luo Ya looked at Kanroji Mitsuri with a little surprise, wondering why the other party had such a big reaction.

After finally mustering up the courage, Ganlu Temple Mitsuri blushed and said to Luo Ya loudly, "I, I want to invite you to my house, ahem, stay for a while. Um, didn't you say you have no place to live recently?"

Luo Ya smiled, touched his nose, and said to Ganlu Temple Mitsuri, "No, no, I still have some tasks to do, so I won't bother you."

Kanroji Mitsuri had a frustrated expression on her face, then she seemed to remember something and asked curiously, "Mission?"

Luo Ya nodded, thought for a moment, and said to Ganlusi Mitsuri: "Miss Ganlusi Mitsuri, do you know that there is a kind of creature lurking in the darkness in this world? They were human beings in their lifetime, but have lost their humanity. They are a group of livestock covered in human skins. They hide in dark and damp places during the day and come out at night to eat people."

Kanroji Mitsuri was shocked. She showed a frightened expression and asked seriously, "Which group of guys are they? Cannibals?"

Luo Ya nodded and pointed at himself, saying, "My father and my mother may have all been killed. The enemy is a very dangerous monster. I can't bear to see another victim like me appear again."

Hearing this, Ganlu Temple Mitsuri showed a sympathetic look to Luo Ya. She softened her voice and said to Luo Ya, "Well, it's okay. Although I don't know what to say, I think that a man as outstanding as you will definitely be able to stand up and protect more people."

Luo Ya smiled, stood up and looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the house, and said to Kanroji Mitsuri with a smile: "The future is long, Kanroji Mitsuri, you are a very special person, I believe that with your talent, you will not stay here forever. If you are interested, you can go to the Demon Slayer Corps. I may join there in the future. We will meet there then."

Kanroji Mitsuri was stunned. She seemed to have heard the name of the Demon Slayer Corps from somewhere. She nodded, smiled, stood up, bowed deeply to Roya and said, "I will catch up with Mr. Roya. Then, please stay alive. Uh, if I join the Demon Slayer Corps, can Mr. Roya accompany me for a while?"

Kanroji Mitsuri's head was covered with sweat again after she finished speaking. She realized that she seemed to have said something strange, so she quickly explained, "I didn't mean anything. I just wanted to spend more time with you. That's all."

Luo Ya's mouth twitched. The more this guy talked, the weirder it became. What did he mean by staying a little longer?

He could see what the little girl was thinking, but time was short and the task was heavy, so he would talk about the future later.

Luo Ya sighed helplessly, and without saying anything else, he stood up and said goodbye to the other party: "Then it's time for me to leave as well. Come on, Miss Kanroji Mitsuri."

He fished out some coins from his pocket and took out some currency used in this era, some of which looked like copper coins used in ancient China. Luo Ya didn't know how much money he spent, so he asked the middle-aged man, "Boss, how much is it?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said to Luo Ya: "I'll just charge you 100 dollars."

Luo Ya nodded, took out 10 copper coins worth 10 yuan from his bag, handed them to the middle-aged man, and then said goodbye to him with a smile.

After they parted, the middle-aged uncle looked at Ganlu Temple Mitsuri in silence, and said unhappily: "You are so annoying. This is not what we agreed on before. I finally found such a good stock for you, but you missed it in vain."

Kanroji Mitsuri shrank her neck and made a playful gesture. She explained to the middle-aged uncle: "I like him very much. Besides, he also said that he doesn't mind me eating more. He even said some encouraging words to me before."

The middle-aged man shook his head helplessly, not knowing what to say, but these things were ultimately other people's private affairs, and he couldn't say anything more.

Wanting to know this, the middle-aged uncle smiled and asked the other party: "Ganlu Temple Mitsuri, what do you want to eat? Will this be enough?"

Although more than 50 sakura cakes are definitely a feast that is difficult for ordinary people to finish, for Mitsuri Kanroji, it is just a piece of cake and an appetizer before the meal.

Mitsuri Kanroji stuck out her tongue. It can be seen that Mitsuri Kanroji is still suppressing her desire to eat.

In fact, Mitsuri Kanroji was also afraid that she would eat too much and scare the other party away.

After leaving the restaurant, Luo Ya kept walking along the street.

I didn't meet anyone special along the way. I just stopped and walked along the way, and in my spare time I took a look at the customs and culture of this country where people were living a pretty good life during that period.

Time passed quickly as they went around in circles. When the dim sun set in the afternoon, Luo Ya's mission officially began.

Holding a Japanese samurai sword purchased from a blacksmith shop opened by a formal department, he placed the sword horizontally across his waist and walked on the road in a swagger.

The ghosts in the town are not that rampant and are somewhat restrained during the day, but at night they become a swarm of demons.

If it is a slightly remote place in the town, there is a high possibility that a man-eating ghost is hiding there.

The number of ghosts in this world is definitely not small. In almost all small island countries, the families of the victims have been eaten by ghosts.

And Roya's mission is to kill ghosts.

With Roja's current strength, he can basically kill anyone who is not an upper-rank monster easily.

With a long sword hanging across his waist, he walked swaggeringly in the silent night.

There is a bright moon in the distance, but when the moonlight shines on people, it does not give people the slightest sense of holiness.

In the nights of this era, hidden in the darkness are monsters that are more evil than ferocious beasts.

Luo Ya walked around the town and found no trace of the cannibal. This was a little beyond Luo Ya's expectations. He thought that such a big town would have some other things happening. But after asking around during the day, he didn't hear any news of any family suddenly disappearing, or a family offering sacrifices to the gods.

Then the only option is to head up the mountain.

There are no such animals in the town, but there are definitely some in the mountains, and definitely not just one or two.

Some weak little ghosts like to eat people in the mountains. These ghosts are not very strong, but they are a nightmare to ordinary people. If ordinary people encounter them, accidents will happen if nothing unexpected happens.

Luo Ya walked along the slightly rugged road on the mountain, moving forward with the faint moonlight. The hazy moonlight naturally could not illuminate the road too brightly, but Luo Ya's own eyesight was very good, and he could see clearly even with only a little light.

The mountains in Japan are not that high, most of them are just hills. Halfway through the journey, we saw a bright area of ​​lights in the distance.

Luo Ya's eyes lit up. If he encountered this kind of situation, the following two scenarios would occur as long as he went over there.

One is that it was a woodcutter's home with his family members safe there, and the other is that the family opposite was offering sacrifices to the gods, and if you go in you will find a man-eating ghost.

Luo Ya raised his eyebrows. He actually felt that it was highly likely that something like this would happen again, in the wilderness, on the way, with lights on, in the middle of the night.

These words together are simply the key words that triggered the accident.

Luo Ya walked straight forward, and the dry and yellow branches on the ground made a rustling sound.

The closer he got, the more Roya felt an evil aura, and there was even a faint smell of blood in the air.

Although he was somewhat mentally prepared, Luo Ya still felt a little nauseous when this really happened.

He continued walking forward with an expressionless face and soon stopped in front of the door of the house.

This is a small house with a small lamp inside that emits a dim light, and firewood and other things are placed outside the house.

Luo Ya took a few steps forward and was about to knock on the door, but it opened and a woman was standing at the door. Luo Ya raised his eyebrows, wondering if his luck with women was a bit good recently. Why did he always meet female ghosts?

Needless to say, the female ghost was fair-skinned and beautiful, with a headscarf on her head. She had a delicate face and good-looking facial features. She did not rush over to Luo Ya and say she wanted to eat him as soon as she saw him. On the contrary, she politely bowed deeply to Luo Ya, then smiled and said, "I cooked some delicious food in there, do you want to join us?"

The ghostly aura on the other person almost hit me in the face, and I knew without even thinking that what the other person called "delicious food" was definitely not a good thing.

Luo Ya held the hilt of the samurai sword with his right hand and said to the other party calmly: "Today, either you die or I live."

The female ghost fell into deep thought. Do these two sentences mean the same thing?

But she didn't care about the meaning of this sentence. Her originally beautiful face was instantly disfigured. Her mouth split open, and her long tongue stuck out of her mouth. The nails on her hands stretched out. She showed a sinister smile and said to Luo Ya: "You, you are not one of those little ghosts from the Demon Slayer Corps, right? You don't have that disgusting aura. On the contrary, you have a kind of temptation that is hard to refuse."

Luo Ya didn't waste any words. He moved his right hand and the opponent's head fell straight to the ground. The opponent's head still maintained the posture in which he spoke before, and his expression still had a little joy, as if he was looking forward to the next meal.

Roya expressionlessly chopped off the opponent's limbs. In an instant, the opponent turned into a human pig. Because he had not yet mastered the breathing method, the power was naturally not controlled by Roya. The knife in his hand was not the Sun Wheel Sword, which resulted in Roya not being able to completely kill it.

But even so, it is still very easy to abuse this thing.

Just kidding, let's take a look at the Light Sword. Although Roja hasn't reached that level yet, he is almost at the level of Sword King.

He kicked the other person's head into the room with an expressionless face, and walked into the house to see if there was anyone alive. After just one look, Luo Ya's brows were furrowed tighter than the shape of a "川" character.

Just as he thought, there was something steaming in the pot. The room was filled with the smell of blood. There was a bloody axe on the ground, and the opponent's body was boiled to pieces.

This was the first time Luo Ya had seen such a thing. Resisting the urge to vomit, Luo Ya retreated from the room and picked up the female ghost in the room with an expressionless face. The female ghost still sneered at this time: "Little ghost, you haven't even grown all your hair yet, wait and see how I eat you."

Luo Ya took out the rope he bought from the market and, as usual, tied the rope around the opponent's throat to prevent him from speaking. He then picked up the opponent's limbs, tied them all to the tree, and moved forward with his head in his hand.

There is only one ghost on this mountain, and he won't believe it even if you kill him.

With the beautiful woman's head hanging around his waist, Luo Ya felt a little happier. He could feel lonely at night, so he had a beautiful woman to accompany him, even though she only had a head.

I was on the mountainside just now, and when I reached the top of the mountain, I found another small house. However, compared with the previous house, this one seemed to be more cautious. The door was tightly closed, and it was pitch black inside.

Luo Ya went forward and knocked on the door, but the other party didn't say anything.
