Chapter 27 - Meeting in person

Ryuu never expected that Shinobu would be talkative, asking him questions regarding his world and everything about it. He wonders if his action influenced her sudden change if it was what she truly was or even if this world version of her is different compared to the manga.

"Are you telling me that in the future humans will be able to do all that?"

Shinobu was intrigued by every story that Ryuu explained to her. their time difference was only a hundred years and yet humans had attained unbelievable things.

"Yes, people were able to reach the moon and communicate near-instantly. An example of this is the chat group."

She looked at her pocket where the phone was and looked at it intelligently. Hearing everything made me feel like it was some kind of heaven. Ryuu's world may be different from Shinobu's, but that doesn't mean their history would be different. 

"Though, few idiots still believe that it was fake when there is clear evidence pointing it was real and we have people living in space crying out loud."

Ryuu cried out showing his frustration with people who would only believe what they want to believe. Especially people who still believe Earth is flat. 

"Fufufu you are rather enthusiastic about these kinds of people?"

"I mean people should consider what they are saying is true and shoving their opinion to other people is not good."

"I can't blame them since I'm also a skeptic. But not too much considering I'm untangled to a group of people from another world."

Shinobu laugh was soothing music to Ryuu that made him smile as his intuition told him it was genuine laughter and shouldn't be this relaxed. 

The only explanation is that the burden of worrying about the future has lessened after the revelation of the truth.

"Glad you believe me. Anyway, have you informed the others about me?"

"Yes, they are expecting you. I told them that the information came from an unknown informant."

"Is that so? Then I'll just have the unique ability to see the future. I do have a little information about their personal life."

Ryuu may not know everything but it would be enough to make them react considering they would barely share their tragedy and it would be difficult for some people to know who they are. 

"That's right, can you tell me about yourself? It's only fair since you know everything about me." 

He paused for a moment feeling embarrassed to tell me things about himself. Though, his dream was to have a harem didn't mean he was confident enough to impress a woman. Ryuu felt sudden guilt recalling his childhood friend.

"Are you alright? You pause a moment there?"

"Ah it's nothing. Well, I'll start by saying that I'm Ryuu Cinco and my last name is Go (Five). In another word, the meaning of my name is ``The fifth Dragon."

"I assumed one of your parents is Japanese?"

"My grandmother from my father's side is Japanese which makes me a quarter Japanese." 

Ryuu then realized something, he never knew how to speak in Japanese before and yet he was able to understand her perfectly. Though, his grandmother had given him simple phrases like hello in Japanese but never learned to perfectly speak it. 

The only explanation was the system that helped them communicate which was convenient. 

"I just noticed that I'm speaking Japanese rather fluently."

"Ara~ are you saying you've never learned to speak Japanese?"

"Yeah, I only know a few simple phrases but never a full conversation. This probably has to do with the chat group."

"If that's the case then it's rather helpful. Now, anything else you'd like to add?"

"Were we? Ah, I'm 18 and in my spare time I watch entertainment, do research on the supernatural, drawing and helping my parents but that has already been solved. Oh right, have you used the [ Gacha ] function?"

"I haven't. I didn't know how to use it."

"Wait what? Hold on, let me help you then." 

Ryuu immediately taught Shinobu how to claim her Daily ticket which already had 3 tickets inside. He showed her the way before using one of the normal tickets.

"So what did you get?"

"I got [ Poison Nullification ]" 

"Oh, that's great!? At least you won't be affected by any Poison."

She nodded, planning to do some test with it to see if her body removed the effect of poison or it just sat around in her body without any negative effect. If the latter then it is possible to make her body poisonous. Shinobi spun the other two tickets to see if there was anything else. 

"This is interesting, I seem to have gained [ Aura (Rwby) ] and [ black pen ]."

"Whoa Congratulations on getting Aura!"

"Care to tell me what the [ Aura (Rwby) ] is?"

"It came from a world called Remnant where they utilize Aura or the manifestation of the soul, a life force that runs through every living creature on Remnant, whether they are a meager shopkeep or a renowned knight."

Ryuu explains the basic principle of [ Aura (Rwby) ] which gave her the ability to strengthen and increase her defenses as well as sense other people's presences. Furthermore, it is able to heal minor injuries near instantly but Aura is not endless and would take time to recharge if overused. 

"Is it magic?"

"No, Magic is different. You utilize your life force which is probably enormous for a normal person since you train the breathing technique."

He theorizes that since her vitality is higher than a normal individual then her Aura should be vast.

"Then what is magic? I'm curious if I could learn it."

"Maybe I'll teach you but it would probably take a while. I'm not saying this to brag but this has to do with my [ Peak Human Condition Physiology ] helping me adapt to certain things."

"Even if you say that I'm still interested."

"Alright, I think it's a fair trade." 

Soon the two arrive at the peak of the mountains where the Demon slayer resident was located. It had Japanese walls and gates that he saw in movies and anime. 

Ryuu could feel the danger coming from inside that a single wrong move could kill him. Though, it was only possible if he didn't use magic which he could still use only unable to use against Michael Jackson and his lackey. 

Shinobi opened the gates and went inside where there was a stone path and to the side were bushes which gave a peaceful atmosphere. Ryuu grew up in a rundown disgusting place where canals were populated like a tar.

"So this is the place huh? It's rather peaceful, unlike the home I've previously lived in."

"What kind of things did you have in your world?"

"It's not horrible since I've gotten used to it but still a bad place to be around. Luckily I've solved it thanks to the Chat group."

"Koncho-sama!"

They soon hear someone scream and find a member of the kakushi, which is a member of the demon slayer corp who are in charge of cleaning and essentially the cleanup crew. 

"Who is this, Koncho-sama?" 

"He's the man I've spoken about."

"Greetings, call me Ryuu."

"Dragon? Is that an alias?"

"Hahaha of course not, that's my real name. I have no reason to lie."

Ryuu laughed it off and still didn't let go of their guard around him. He understood their suspicions but pondered why Muzan didn't try to use humans to infiltrate the Demon slayer corp. 

"Is that the case then please follow me. All the Hashira had arrived waiting for your arrival." 

He nodded in response and followed while Shinobu remained by his side that made the Kakushi to glance at them. 

'Why is Koncho-sama so intimate with this person?'

The Kakushi was confused as she wasn't one to be casual around other people beside the other Hashira. Meanwhile, Ryuu gaze was looking around observing the fine architecture of traditional Japanese houses. 

He hadn't visited his grandparents even once but kept them updated by his uncle in Japan telling them how they are doing. It was a serene sight to behold as if reliving a historical Drama. 

They soon arrived where several individuals were looking at him with interest while his gaze lit up looking at each of them. Everyone of them held great power that could easily kill him if he didn't use magic. 

This individual were the Hashira's
