Chapter 21: Practice (1)

 "Your reaction is quite fast, but your attack force is weak. Every time you draw your sword, your body is reacting instinctively. When you draw your sword, your breathing does not mobilize all the functions of your body 100%."

  ​​During the confrontation, Urokodaki Sakonji pointed out Bai Yu's shortcomings. As soon as he finished speaking, Urokodaki Sakonji took a breath, and then the whole person suddenly burst out with amazing momentum and strength, and Bai Yu's bamboo sword was cut off in an instant.

  The broken edge of Bai Yu's bamboo sword was unusually flat, as if it was cut off by a sharp blade.

  Bai Yu was a little absent-minded. After a short period of absence, Bai Yu showed a faint smile, then clasped his hands together and thanked Urokodaki Sakonji: "Thank you for your advice!"

  In fact, Bai Yu also understood why there was such a big gap between him and the old man. The most fundamental reason was that Bai Yu did not understand swordsmanship at all, so when Bai Yu faced Urokodaki Sakonji, he could only respond through his body's instincts.

  "Bai Yu, although you can control the water breathing freely, you have no experience in kendo. Perhaps, as you said, you learned the water breathing by imitation. You are a genius." Urokodaki Sakonji praised Bai Yu again.

  Bai Yu was not surprised that Urokodaki Sakonji saw that he was a kendo novice. After all, he was an old man, so he naturally had this kind of vision.

  ——"The next step in your training is to learn kendo and comprehend it. Let's stop here today! Go back to the house and rest!"

  After explaining to Bai Yu, Urokodaki Sakonji looked at Tanjiro who was standing at the door of the wooden house, and then said to Tanjiro: "Come with me~ Tanjiro!"

  After that, Urokodaki Sakonji turned around and walked away in one direction.

  Tanjiro followed him after realizing it, and when he passed by Bai Yu, Tanjiro couldn't help but remind Bai Yu: "Senior Bai Yu, Nezuko is in your hands!"

  Bai Yu nodded and didn't say much.

  Bai Yu, who returned to the cabin, couldn't help but lie down on the empty seat next to Nezuko, then stretched his body and sighed: "It seems that I have to live in this place for a long time!"

  Bai Yu, who was a little bored, couldn't help but look at the sleeping Nezuko. The more Bai Yu looked at Nezuko's fair skin, the more he wanted to touch it.

  About half an hour later, Tanjiro and Urokodaki Sakonji returned to the cabin again.

  "From now on, cooking will be left to you. Go kill the fish! This is also a kind of practice for you." Urokodaki Sakonji told Tanjiro.

  "Yes, Master!" Tanjiro responded helplessly, and then took the two big fish he had just caught to the stove to deal with them.

  Tanjiro's title of master is also an acceptance and recognition of Urokodaki Sakonji, and Tanjiro also regards himself as Urokodaki Sakonji's disciple.

  Without much talk, Urokodaki Sakonji walked into the cabin.

  Then, he said to Bai Yu who was lying next to Nezuko: "No matter how you look at it, she is still a ghost. Could it be that you still like her?"

  Hearing Urokodaki Sakonji's joke, Bai Yu sat up suddenly, then smiled lightly, and didn't say much.

  And Urokodaki Sakonji didn't take his words seriously, and then changed the subject and said: "Light up the fire, today we will boil the fish fillets!"

  In this way, Bai Yu and Tanjiro were busy making a fire and setting up the iron pot, and the other was busy preparing the fish. As for Urokodaki Sakonji, he sat aside and rested his mind.
