Takanashi Toka was well-versed in the principle of making the best use of things. Since Takanashi Rikka didn't pay the gas bill but could still breathe fire, Toka just had her stand aside and act as a fire source.
As for this arrangement, Takanashi Rikka was quite aggrieved. "What tragedy! I, the holder of the Tyrant's Eye, have been reduced to a stove~..."
"The fire is too big!"
"Oh..." Hearing Toka's complaint, Rikka obediently adjusted her chakra output. After cooking the food, Toka frowned at the final product.
"The fire was still too big..." However, Toka, being a chef at a high-end restaurant, still produced a good result. Even Chitanda Eru and Yuuki Asuna, the richest girls in the group, praised the food.
Infinity Castle.
Muzan Kibutsuji, who was mixing a potion, stood up, and a touch of ecstasy emerged on his face.
"Summon Enmu now!" he said to Nakime, who was holding a biwa. The latter nodded.
Zheng!
The sound of the biwa echoed. Instantly, Enmu appeared before Muzan Kibutsuji.
"Repeat what you encountered tonight!" Muzan said excitedly to Enmu. Although he had already seen everything through Enmu's memories, he wanted to hear it again. After all, it was something he had sought for a thousand years without discovering a single clue.
"Yes!" Enmu's face was flushed with excitement. He recounted in detail how he attacked Shirakawa and the others and the news of the Blue Spider Lily he obtained from the Demon Slayers. There was hardly any deviation from what Muzan had seen.
"Found it... Found it!"
"I didn't expect to get news of the Blue Spider Lily." Muzan looked up and laughed wildly. As the original demon, he had overcome almost all weaknesses, except the sun. For thousands of years, he could only hide in the darkness, which made him feel extremely aggrieved.
"Finally, I can become the ultimate immortal creature!" Muzan Kibutsuji turned his head, looked at Nakime with blood-red eyes, and said excitedly, "Call the rest of the moons... Plan to snatch the Blue Spider Lily from the Demon Slayer Squad."
The Next Day.
It was Shirakawa's first weekend since becoming a teacher. He didn't need to get up early to go to school and felt a little unaccustomed to it. When he opened the balcony door to breathe fresh air, Mrs. Yubihama next door was drying clothes. Dressed in a white knee-length dress, the loose long skirt clung to her slim waist and curved hips. When she saw Shirakawa, she smiled and said, "Good morning, Mr. Shirakawa!"
After greeting him, she picked up her underwear to hang them to dry, and an unnatural touch of crimson appeared on her pretty face. Although it was just a normal action of drying clothes, when she was watched by Shirakawa, Mrs. Yubihama felt a sense of shame. Especially when she thought of the clothes she had given Shirakawa, a series of strange thoughts came to her mind.
"Shirakawa-sensei must have found my clothes in the towel..." Mrs. Yubihama thought. Shirakawa never mentioned it, and she knew he just didn't want to embarrass her. For both of them, the unspoken agreement that the matter did not exist was the best outcome. But for some reason, Mrs. Yubihama felt inexplicably disappointed. She was silent for a moment, then tried to talk.
"Shirakawa-sensei, today is your day off. Are you going out somewhere to enjoy yourself?"
"No, I'm going to tutor some students later today."
When Mrs. Yubihama heard this, a hint of disappointment flashed in her beautiful eyes. The idea that had just surfaced on a whim quickly faded.
"Shirakawa-sensei works really hard."
Shirakawa smiled and didn't speak.
After breakfast, following the address given by Hana Uzaki, Shirakawa brought Yatogami Tohka along. Originally, Shirakawa hadn't planned on bringing Tohka, but as soon as the chibi heard that Shirakawa was going to eat a big meal, she immediately clung to Shirakawa and insisted on coming with him.
Hana Uzaki had mentioned that her mother would cook a meal to thank Shirakawa for saving her life. For this reason, Shirakawa decided to bring Tohka along, giving her a chance to experience human society.
Tohka followed Shirakawa onto the subway, pressing herself against the window, her face alight with curiosity. Everything was a novel experience for her. Other passengers on the subway looked at her with regret, thinking it was a pity such a beautiful girl had low IQ.
"The new round of hero recruitment by the Hero Association has been fully opened. Citizens confident in their own strength are encouraged to participate…"
"The martial arts policy launched by the government has been implemented in most colleges and universities within a week. Relevant departments suggest implementing martial arts competitions between colleges and universities to effectively stimulate students' independent learning abilities…"
"Yesterday, some witnesses reported seeing monsters fighting at the foot of Mt. Fuji. One was a monkey entrenched on Mt. Fuji for several days, and the other was a previously unseen monster. According to heroes at the scene, the strength of both monsters was not lower than that of a dragon…"
Inside the subway, news broadcasts played one after another. After hearing the last one, a glimmer of light flashed in Shirakawa's eyes.
"Monkey... entrenched on Mt. Fuji."
If he wasn't mistaken, he had seen relevant pictures before and confirmed that the monkey was the Four-Tailed Beast, Son Goku, one of the tailed beasts.
"He got into a fight with another dragon-level monster?"
"Could it be another tailed beast?"
Shirakawa searched for related news on his phone. There was a lot of coverage but unfortunately, there were no pictures from the scene. He couldn't tell which monster fought with the Four-Tails.
After getting off the subway, Shirakawa immediately saw Hana Uzaki, who, despite not being tall, was extremely conspicuous at the subway entrance.
"Shirakawa-sensei, this way, this way!" Hana Uzaki waved her arms excitedly.
"Shirakawa-sensei, who is she?" Hana Uzaki looked at Yatogami Tohka, her eyes especially lingering on their intertwined hands.
"This is my cousin, Yatogami Tohka."
"Oh, she's your cousin. Nice to meet you, Yatogami-san. My name is Hana Uzaki!" Hana Uzaki breathed a sigh of relief and introduced herself generously.
After walking a short distance from the subway entrance to home, she quickly became familiar with Tohka and naturally took Tohka's hand from Shirakawa's.
"These Takoyaki are the best in the neighborhood."
"This teppanyaki…"
"That Unadon…"
Wherever Uzaki pointed, Tohka's eyes followed. With every three steps presenting a new dish, she couldn't walk anymore.
"Shiro…" The girl looked at Shirakawa with pleading eyes.
"I still have to teach a class, so I'll buy it on the way back," Shirakawa said helplessly.
Tohka lowered her head in frustration. Seeing this, Hana Uzaki immediately spoke up, "Wait a minute, my mother will come to this street to buy vegetables. I'll let my mother bring Tohka with her."
"Is that okay?" Yatogami Tohka's eyes suddenly brightened with excitement.
"You've finally come here, so I'm going to treat you well!" Hana Uzaki nodded firmly, a smile flashing in her eyes as she looked at Tohka. She didn't expect this beautiful girl to be so easy to handle. On the first day of meeting, she had built such a good relationship with Shirakawa-sensei's cousin.
"Come on, Hana!" Hana Uzaki secretly clenched her fists.
Comparing Hana Uzaki who was noticed for child like body with big breasts, then her mother, Tsuki Uzaki, was on a whole new level, with a charm and temperament that her daughter didn't have. Obviously, her daughter was an adult, but Tsuki Uzaki's appearance still looked like a young woman in her twenties. Standing with her daughter, if he didn't know the identities of the two, he would never have imagined that they were mother and daughter.
She was similar to Hana Uzaki's in term of her height, but her figure was more than her daughter, she was a mature version of Hana Uzaki.
"Hello Mrs. Uzaki." Shirakawa greeted Tsuki Uzaki, who was standing at the entrance.
"You're Shirakawa-sensei...What a handsome young man." Tsuki Uzaki enthusiastically pulled Shirakawa into the house. She bent down to change the slippers for Shirakawa. The natural and welcoming attitude of her did not make them even the slightest discomfort. Hana Uzaki pulled Shirakawa and walked in closely.
"Mom, Shirakawa-sensei is going to start teaching me ninjutsu, you should hurry up and go grocery shopping!" Hana Uzaki hugged one of Shirakawa's arm and hurriedly said to Tsuki Uzaki. Shirakawa's arm was hugged by two women. He could clearly perceive the almost identical touch. It's just that the fragrance coming from the two girls was quite different.
"You can take Shirakawa-sensei's cousin for a walk, I'm going to start class!"Hana Uzaki said, and hurriedly pulled Shirakawa upstairs.
Tsuki Uzaki looked at her daughter's hurried footsteps and supported her pretty face with relief. "Ara Ara, my daughter has really grown up"
As a mother with extrem imagination, she was already thinking to prepare some family planning supplies in advance and prepare a baby stroller in her mind at this time.
Yuuki family.
Due to the ambush they encountered last time, the Yuuki family immediately shifted their resident. Even the headquarters of the Demon Slayer Squad was moved to an alternate location.
"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation."
In front of the artificial lake, Asuna Yuuki gently opened her cherry lips and spat out a sea of fire, which burned on the surface of the lake. After three seconds, the sea of fire gradually grew smaller and then disappeared.
"Hoo ..." Yuuki Asukina slowly exhaled a breath due to heat.
"Asuna, the range is getting bigger and bigger, and at this rate, you will soon be able to reach a considerable amount of power." The fierce voice of Kanroji Mitsuri came from the side. Yuuki Asuna suddenly turned around and showed a shallow smile. Beside Kanroji Mitsuri, there student a number of Hashiras.
After hearing the conversation between the two women, they opened their eyes and looked at Yuuki Asuna, and a little envy flashed in their pupils. It's been a few days since Shirakawa taught them the basics of ninjutsu such as chakra's refining technique and three-body technique. However, most of the Hashiras were only able to extract a small amount of chakra. Not to mention the elemental release techniques, it was not enough to even perform the three-body technique. What made them feel uncomfortable wasn't just the chakra that they couldn't perform the three-body technique. Whenever they asked about it to Kanroji Mitsuri, the other party's answer was even more confusing.
"Kanroji-san, why is it that when I perform the substitute technique, I can easily make the seals, but the direction of Chakra's movement is difficult to control?"
"Yes, I think it's very simple, once the seal is knotted, it will naturally be able to be displayed... Well, it's like walking, you know? Just swing your arms and raise your legs, and you'll be able to walk!"
It's like walking...Every time they hear the natural answer of Kanroji Mitsuri and Yuuki Asuna, they could only attribute it to the talent of the two girls who were extremely talented in ninjutsu. However, compared to these, they paid more attention to the important news brought back by the Kanroji Mitsuri today.
"Love Hashira, will the Demon Muzan really show up tonight?"
"Since Shirakawa-sensei said so, it can not be false!" Kanroji Mitsuri said affirmatively.
When Sanemi Shinazugawa heard this, he gradually couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart. This may be the closest their demon slayer team has come to Muzan Kibutsuji in hundreds of years. To end this hatred that has lasted for hundreds and thousands of years, it depends on this crucial battle.
"The lord has already gathered all the members of the team above the C level, I hope the casualties will be smaller because of this." Gyomei Himejima spoke in a deep voice. The other Hashiras were also silent, with solemn expressions. Muzan Kibutsuji's strength is difficult to estimate, and in their expectations, this final battle will definitely be quite tragic.
When Kanroji Mitsuri heard this, she said lightly. "Don't worry, Shirakawa-sensei said that this is a good opportunity to practice, and he will let the students in our class join in to help the Demon Slayer Squad."
The Hashiras were taken aback by Kanroji Mitsuri's words. Viewing the imminent battle with Muzan Kibutsuji, a Demon King of millennia-old legend, as a mere practice session seemed incredulous.
