Chapter 19 - Hashira Meeting Part 02

Ace explained to the hashiras the summary of his power. Like the prayer of blessing will only last for one day but he can double cast it so it can last for 2 days.

Oyakata asked Ace if he is willing to work as a doctor in the headquarters but Ace quickly denied him saying that the battlefield is where he is most needed.

They met in the middle and Ace got to be a part-time healer and demon slayer. Mukago will be Ace's secretary and guard. That is why Mukago will be trained in the headquarters under the love Hashira, Mitsuri.

Mukago's top priority is Ace's life more than hers. Ace's job is to watch Mukago if something is wrong with her.

Oyakata tasked the Hashiras with various missions ranging from extermination to information gathering.

Some of the Hashiras also stayed to man the headquarters, but many are often outside doing missions.

--

A week after Hashira's meeting.

Mukago is training non-stop this past week. Mukago skips the stamina and strength training regime because her strength is already qualified to learn the love breathing techniques.

Mukago and Mitsuri's personalities are very compatible they are both shy and reserve and their strength is monstrous.

Right now Ace is in the middle of a breakthrough, He thought that a katana is not compatible with him, he rather fights with bare hands than wielding a katana. so he thought why not create weapons out of energy.

He postponed his plan to gather information because Mukago needed training in swordsmanship. This week also gave him time to play and experiment with his aura.

After multiple tries, he finally succeeded in creating his weapon, or what he calls an aura weapon.

He created this skill from the scratch.

"First circulate the energy in my palm then compressed it enough so I can mold it to a solid shape."

light started as energy then solidify then formed a sword with a golden hilt.

Ace also tried to create food from energies but all he created are just a solid shape of bread but not eatable.

The aura weapon is not perfect because its strength is equal to how much energy he put on it.

Ace also needs to supply some energy to it every hour or it will vanish and waste the remaining energy on it.

So aura weapons such as arrows are a waste of energy.

'Well, then time to leave and explore the world, I wonder if Mukago's finish her training...' Ace thought but he doubts it, even a person like Tanjiro needs 2 years to learned all of the techniques of water breathing.

Ace walk towards the place where Mukago is training. There he saw the girls laughing while eating a riceball. They noticed Ace and wave at him.

Ace replied with a smile and said, "So how is the training going?"

"Good! Mukago already learned the second form! and..." Mitsuri excitedly said.

"And?" Ace questioned.

"And she is super cute when she is serious! But her katana is no good for this technique so I let her borrow mine while training," Mitsuri said while blushing.

Mitsuri wields a "Love Sword" that is extremely thin and soft like a whip, she uses this because of her innate muscle that is strong while staying flexible.

"Congratulation Mukago, you really are talented huh," Ace said with a gentle smile.

"Umm, thanks Ace-sama, I will do my best!" Mukago answered while blushing but Ace can see her determination in there.

'She is shy but she has the determination to redeem herself,' Ace thought.

"Good good," Ace patted her head then asked, "How long before she can get a new blade?"

"Oh I already arrange that for our lovely Mukago, She will get her personal sword any time this week," Mitsuri answered.

"Umm, thanks for taking care of her Mitsuri," Ace smiled then faced Mukago.

Mukago just looks innocently at Ace, "What is it Ace-sama? Do I have something in my face?"

"Listen to me Mukago, Although Oyakata tasked you to be my guard..." Ace didn't finish his sentence because Mukago throws herself at him.

"No!!! They will kill me when you leave, don't leave me Ace-sama!" Mukago shouted from the heart.

Ace can feel her shivering in fear, Mukago seems normal at first because she is not voicing her opinion but deep inside he knew that she is suppressing her emotion.

'I can't leave her here, She will try to escape and find me anyway...' Ace thought then said, "Then continue your training alright? We will leave after you obtain your new katana."

'What a poor child, It breaks my heart seeing her like that,' Mitsuri thought even though Mukago is most likely older than her.

"Un..." Mukago said quietly.

["If you killed her you shouldn't have that responsibility"] Ace heard a sinister voice coming from his mind.

'What was that?' Ace thought but the voice didn't talk again.
