Anime: Re:Zero - Jobless Reincarnation

The smiling face of the sick leaf turned into ashes and disappeared.

The female ghost also disappeared in this world, and the ghost blood on Luo Ya's body gradually dissipated under the decomposition of the sunlight.

Luo Ya stood up with a feeling of unsatisfied, picked up the sword and took a look, and found that the surrounding area of ​​the sword had been corroded. Luo Ya shook his head secretly, lamenting that his sword was probably scrapped again, and threw it aside and walked towards the road down the mountain.

After walking for only a short while, he met someone he had never expected.

This is a young man with long yellow hair with red edges, thick black eyebrows, bright eyes, wearing a brown Demon Slayer Corps uniform and a haori with flame patterns on the end.

Luo Ya was slightly stunned when he saw the other person. He had already guessed the other person's identity.

The only one who was so obvious was the Flame Pillar named Rengoku Kyojuro.

The opponent's momentum was strong, and Luo Ya could feel that every time he breathed, he would inhale a large amount of oxygen in the air.

Luo Ya raised his eyebrows slightly. The other party's vitality was very strong and he had a strong momentum.

Rengoku Kyojuro saw that Roja's hurried steps had stopped. He frowned and looked at Roja and said, "Young man, there is a strong smell on your body. Did you encounter it? Where is it?"

Rengoku Kyojuro's voice was loud and powerful, and he seemed to like speaking like this.

Luo Ya did not sense any ill will from the other party. He pointed to the mountainside and said to Rengoku Kyojuro, "You are too late. Someone was killed last night. Oh, no, many people should have been killed during this period of time."

Rengoku Kyojuro was stunned, showing a look of grief, and said with emotion: "Am I still too late after all?"

Luo Ya nodded. It was indeed a little late for Rengoku Kyojuro to arrive. Even without Luo Ya, Rengoku Kyojuro would not be able to find him if he went up the mountain at this time. Ghosts would not live in one place for a long time. According to that guy's personality, he was probably planning to hide in another place.

Feeling the other person's long and lasting heartbeat, Luo Ya tried to keep the same breathing frequency with the other person.

Soon, Luo Ya felt a flame burning in his abdomen, and the power that had been unable to move no matter how hard he tried to control it actually began to transform into the flame in his abdomen.

Rengoku Kyojuro raised his thick black eyebrows and looked at Roya in surprise. He said bluntly: "Your breathing rate is still too fast, slow down."

Luo Ya nodded, took a breath, and continued to exhale and breathe again.

At this time, Rengoku Kyojuro nodded, swept away the previous sorrow, and said to Roya: "It's OK, young man, you are very good. You have mastered the trick so quickly. It is worthy of praise. Oh, by the way, are you interested in joining the Demon Slayer Corps?"

Luo Ya thought about it and nodded.

Rengoku Kyojuro was a little surprised by Roya's behavior. He thought the other party might refuse, but he didn't expect Roya to agree so readily.

Rengoku Kyojuro smiled widely again and said to Luo Ya, "What's your name, handsome boy? My name is Rengoku Kyojuro. I like you very much. Are you interested in becoming my stepson?"

The so-called stepsons are the so-called direct disciples. Each pillar will select some members of the Demon Slayer Corps who are talented and capable to be his stepsons. Rengoku Kyojuro asked Roya to be his stepson right from the start, which surprised Roya.

After all, not just anyone can be a stepson.

Although the other party invited him, Roya still shook his head and smiled at Rengoku Kyojuro and said, "Although I plan to join the Demon Slayer Corps, I don't know which breathing style is suitable for me yet. If I rashly become your stepson, it would be a bit abrupt."

Luo Ya hadn't said anything else. His current strength was almost equal to Rengoku Kyojuro's. If he really became his stepson, he wouldn't be able to learn anything.

Rengoku Kyojuro showed a look of regret and said to Roya, "Is that so? To be honest, I've been troubled by the fact that no one wants to be my "stepson" because of my harsh training methods. By the way, do you know where that ghost is? I still want to kill it as much as possible."

Luo Ya said to Rengoku Kyojuro, "I have killed the one on the mountainside. Not even ashes are left."

Rengoku Kyojuro's eyes suddenly shrank when he heard that. He looked at Roja excitedly and murmured to him, "You killed the Lower Moon Three? No, you haven't mastered breathing yet, have you? And you don't have the Nichirin Sword either. Oh, where's your weapon?"

Luo Ya casually said, "Throw it away. It was broken in a fight."

After saying that, he was about to leave. Who knew that at this time, Rengoku Kyojuro grabbed Luoya's shoulders, smiled, and said to Luoya: "Are you really not going to become my stepson?"

Roya waved his hand and interrupted the other party. Although Roya's behavior was a bit rude, Rengoku Kyojuro was still not angry and looked at Roya with a smile.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 115 Recommendation

Luoya still refused. Rengoku Kyojuro grabbed Luoya's shoulders and said, "Good-looking boy, think about it again. Otherwise, you can go with me to see the lord first? Join us first and get the Sun Blade first. It will be easier to kill demons this way."

Luo Ya fell into deep thought. You know what, what the other party said does make sense, and the timeline is a little early now, and Luo Ya can't confirm the position of the upper string. Thinking of this, Luo Ya nodded reluctantly and said: "I can join you, but I need your introduction."

A swordsman who has just joined will naturally not be taken seriously by the Demon Slayer Corps unless the other party has a pillar-level swordsman to recommend him.

Rengoku Kyojuro nodded and agreed without hesitation.

"Introduction? No problem. I'll go to the mountain to take a look. If you really killed the Lower Rank Three, I believe that with this achievement, you won't start as a lowly swordsman. Well, that would be a waste of your talent. Hey, handsome boy, are you really not going to consider it?"

Roya felt a headache, and smiled at Rengoku Kyojuro, saying, "Young swordsman, well, with all due respect, your strength may not be enough to become my master."

Rengoku Kyojuro was stunned when he heard this, but he was still not angry. Or maybe Rengoku Kyojuro himself was the kind of person who didn't care about what others said. He continued loudly, "Good-looking boy, I don't agree with what you said. Although you have the ability to kill the Lower Moon Three, your future achievements will definitely be higher than mine, but now I think I should be more than qualified to be your teacher."

After saying this, he straightened his back with a confident look. In fact, even the Flame Pillar has his own pride.

Luo Ya didn't say anything. You can only know this kind of thing after a fight.

After thinking about it, since he had joined the Demon Slayer Corps to get a weapon first, there was no need to run down the mountain. He said to Rengoku Kyojuro, "I'll take you to find the demon. Even though it has turned to ashes, you should be able to see something."

In the distance, in a mansion, in an antique room that was dark and illuminated only by dim lights, a tall, black-haired man with a skin as pale as paper and an extraordinary appearance and temperament was angrily smashing the books on the bookshelf onto the table.

He almost roared: "The Third Lower Moon, can't even beat an ordinary person who can't breathe and doesn't have a Nichirin Sword? Are the current Lower Moons so useless?"

He is Muzan Kibutsuji, the ancestor of demons and the strongest demon. He can use his blood to make demons stronger, and the strength of a demon is related to the amount of blood he gives. As long as the demons under his command say his name, he will activate the "curse" to destroy them. He has the power of life and death over all demons.

He looked through the memories of the Lower String Three, with a look of surprise on his face, and muttered, "What a swift sword. But, if that's all, can't the Lower String Three, a demon, even handle this? It looks like it's time for the Lower String Three to settle accounts."

After saying this, Muzan Kibutsuji fell into deep thought.

--------

You can't meet the lord whenever you want. Rengoku Kyojuro has to hand over the information to Crow, and then Crow's reply will determine whether Roya can meet the lord.

The Crow is a type of crow that has received professional training from the Demon Slayer Corps. It can not only speak, but also has a clear sense of self.

The Demon Slayer Corps specially trained this kind of crows to be used as a means for communication among the Demon Slayer Corps, transferring information, and issuing tasks, thus creating a very spiritual and convenient intelligence network.

Basically, every member of the Demon Slayer Corps will receive a crow when they join the Corps. The Demon Slayer Corps headquarters relies on the crow to assign tasks to the Demon Slayer Corps members in various locations and let them hunt demons.

At the same time, the Crow will compile all kinds of information and send it to the headquarters of the Demon Slayer Corps, that is, the lord of the Demon Slayer Corps, so that he can know the latest events and situations even without leaving home.

After Rengoku Kyojuro had roughly surveyed the situation on the mountain, he became more and more impressed with the young man in front of him. Just as it was almost noon, Rengoku Kyojuro said that he could take Roya out for a good meal.

Luo Ya grinned. This was what the other party said, and he accepted the other party's invitation without hesitation.

Rengoku Kyojuro was a little surprised. He thought the boy might refuse. Just as Rengoku Kyojuro was thinking about where to go for dinner, Luo Ya thought for a moment and suddenly said, "Mr. Rengoku Kyojuro, do you need a stepson?"

Rengoku Kyojuro scratched his head, smiled awkwardly, and said loudly to Roya: "Yes, the number of members of the Demon Slayer Corps has been decreasing recently, and there are only a few who can fight against the demons. I really hope to pick out a disciple who can inherit my mantle."

Luo Ya suddenly said: "Well, I know someone who is very talented and has a special physique. I wonder if she can help you."

The person Luo Ya was referring to was naturally Mitsuri Kanroji. If Rengoku Kyojuro was interested in her, he could just accept Mitsuri Kanroji as his disciple.

There is no doubt that Mitsuri Kanroji has great talent. She possesses eight times the physical fitness of others. With a little training, she will be an outstanding swordsman in the future.

So, Luo Ya took Rengoku Kyojuro back, and the two of them walked very fast, and it took only three hours to reach the door of the shop.

During the three hours along the way, Roya kept asking Rengoku Kyojuro about the precautions on the breathing method, and soon he mastered the Breathing of Flame.

But even though he had mastered it, Roya found that his compatibility with the Breath of Fire was not high, only about 50%. That strange power was also mastered by Roya. Every time Roya exhaled, he had the illusion that his breath was long and hot.

And Luo Ya also found that the breathing method improved him unexpectedly.

He originally thought that a copy like Demon Slayer, which was not very advanced, would not be able to bring much improvement to him.

But this idea was undoubtedly wrong. Now Luo Ya could feel that the breath in his body was flowing longer and faster.

Every time he inhaled a breath of oxygen, a surge of strength surged through his body. This strength flowed through his limbs and bones, strengthening his body.

Although this improvement is not a doubling, the breathing method also has its own unique insights.

Is this the breathing method? It feels very magical.

Arriving at the noodle shop, Luo Ya thought about what he had just said to Mitsuri Kanroji yesterday: no matter how fast the other party was, he would not leave home so early to join the Demon Slayer Corps.

After all, as the eldest sister in the family, Mitsuri Kanroji is the responsibility of the family. Although Mitsuri Kanroji's family can be considered a well-off family and her parents take good care of her, if Mitsuri Kanroji wants to join the Demon Slayer Corps directly, she still has to discuss it with her parents.

But even if we negotiate, we will most likely fail to reach an agreement.

It is estimated that in the original work, Mitsuri Kanroji most likely ran away from home secretly.

Luo Ya came here this time to try to see if he could ambush the opponent.

If Mitsuri Kanroji were here, she would definitely dine at the restaurant.

After all, Mitsuri Kanroji loves to eat sakuramochi, and this is the only restaurant around that sells sakuramochi.

The middle-aged man saw a customer coming in and shouted "Welcome" happily, but when he saw it was Luo Ya, his expression was a little surprised. He said to Luo Ya: "You, are back again?"

It's no wonder the middle-aged man said that. Kanroji Mitsuri's personality is somewhat similar to Rengoku Kyojuro's. She is more straightforward and always speaks without thinking. She says whatever comes to mind.

After Luo Ya left, the middle-aged man only needed to ask a few questions to find out the general situation.

Perhaps knowing that Luo Ya would most likely not show up to eat noodles in the noodle shop, the middle-aged man felt a little regretful. After all, such a handsome man would be a beautiful scenery just by sitting in the noodle shop.

After listening to Mitsuri Kanroji's explanation of the whole process, the middle-aged man shook his head secretly.

This silly girl is probably hopeless. The way Kanroji Mitsuri confessed her feelings was not obvious, but it was definitely not subtle. Anyone with high emotional intelligence would be able to figure out what was going on if they used their brains a little.

Doesn't Luo Ya have a high EQ? Such a handsome boy must have a lot of girls around him, but in the end, someone else got there first.

But looking at the other person's excited expression, the middle-aged man swallowed back what he wanted to say. After thinking about it, he decided not to undermine the other person's confidence.

I thought the matter was over, but I didn't expect the other party to come back.

And this time, there was also a swordsman with a knife on his waist.

Luo Ya smiled at him and said, "Hey, uncle, we meet again."

The uncle glanced at Luo Ya with a strange look on his face, coughed twice and said, "Well, we meet again."

Luo Ya smiled and said, "Sit down, Mr. Rengoku Kyojuro, the taste of this noodle shop is very good, I like it very much."

Rengoku Kyojuro nodded and continued to say to Luo Ya: "Then let me try it, I'm looking forward to it!"

As soon as Rengoku Kyojuro opened his mouth, he scared the middle-aged man.

There's no other reason. Rengoku Kyojuro's voice is too loud. Even though he has a lot of strength in his voice, it still affects the environment in the store to some extent.

The middle-aged man said carefully to Rengoku Kyojuro, "Um, could you please speak a little more quietly?"

Rengoku Kyojuro touched his forehead awkwardly, as if trying to suppress his voice, but still said in a loud voice: "I'm sorry, uncle, I'm used to talking like this."

The middle-aged man covered his face and said nothing more, asking the two people what they wanted.

Luo Ya thought for a moment, and said to the middle-aged man: "Let's follow the old rules. As for this, um, Mr. Rengoku Kyojuro, what do you want?"

Rengoku Kyojuro thought for a moment and said, "Excuse me, do you have a beef hot pot bento?"

The middle-aged man was sweating and said speechlessly: "This is, ahem, not a bento shop."

Rengoku Kyojuro showed a regretful expression and said casually: "Then give me a style similar to that of a good-looking boy!"

The middle-aged man nodded and began to instruct his son-in-law to work.

Since it was already noon, more and more people came. This restaurant obviously had a good reputation and soon all the seats were occupied.

Roya curiously asked about the Demon Slayer Corps, and Rengoku Kyojuro patiently explained everything to him.

Soon the middle-aged man brought the noodles up. Luo Ya glanced around and noticed that the diners around him were paying attention to him intentionally or unintentionally, especially the girls, whose eyes were shining and they seemed to be in the habit of rushing forward to say hello at any time.

Rengoku Kyojuro could naturally sense the gazes from all around him, so he patted Roya on the shoulder, still trying to lower his voice, but still speaking in a loud voice: "You are really popular with others."

The female diners around him blushed subconsciously and looked away from Luoya.

Luo Ya nodded indifferently and started to eat the noodles.

Rengoku Kyojuro also tried it, and his eyes lit up immediately. He said in disbelief, "Wow, it's unexpectedly good."

The middle-aged man smiled proudly, pointed at himself and said: "It has been passed down from generation to generation. This is an ancestral craft."

Rengoku Kyojuro gave the middle-aged man a thumbs up and said, "Great."

The middle-aged man also had a smile on his face, thinking that the loud-voiced guy in front of him was quite nice, except that he was a bit weird.

Luo Ya drank the noodles as soup and finished the big bowl of noodles in a short while. Rengoku Kyojuro did the same, even faster. They both put down their bowls at the same time. Rengoku Kyojuro even shouted while eating, "Delicious."

But even Rengoku Kyojuro, who would shout this sentence every time he took a bite, was able to surpass Roya.

This made Luo Ya silent for a moment, and the two of them almost simultaneously said to the middle-aged uncle: "Give me ten servings."

After saying that, both of them were stunned and looked at each other. Rengoku Kyojuro spoke first: "Good-looking boy, I didn't expect you to eat so fast."

Luo Ya curled his lips and smiled: "I didn't expect that your way of eating is so fast and so weird."

Rengoku Kyojuro disagreed, saying, "For delicious food, the only way to show respect is to speak out loudly."

Luo Ya was speechless and didn't say anything else. He nodded and ate his meal.
