She clenched her fists, suppressed the urge to swear, and maintained a smile, gritting her teeth as she spoke.
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Yiyong. I will definitely come back alive!"
Giyuu seemed oblivious to Shinobu's change in mood and nodded very seriously.
"Well, I'm glad you understand."
I don't understand a thing!
The misunderstanding has only deepened!
Ryosuke rubbed his temples, suddenly feeling a pang of sympathy for Sabito and Makomo beside him.
“Sabi rabbit… Mako…”
"You must be exhausted from being with him every day..."
"Mr. Ryosuke, you flatter me."
Qian Tu crossed his arms and sighed, "I'm used to it."
Makomo covered her mouth and chuckled to herself.
The assessment period has quietly arrived.
All the swordsmen participating in the assessment turned solemn and headed into the depths of the mountains.
Kanae and the other three nodded to Ryosuke and followed the flow of people inside.
hope everything is fine.
Ryosuke silently agreed, and after saying goodbye to Sabito and Giyu, he prepared to leave with Rika.
However, Rika immediately grabbed Ryosuke's arm and shook it.
"Ryosuke-nii~ The assessment is going to last seven days, and it's so boring waiting here! Why don't we go check out the Butterfly Mansion?"
Ryosuke was quite puzzled when he heard her suggestion.
"Go to the Butterfly Mansion? Are you not feeling well? Besides, Kanae and Shinobu aren't here."
The Butterfly House now likely only has Kakuno, who is responsible for daily maintenance, and some medical staff who assist him.
Pear Blossom shook her little head like a rattle drum.
"I'm not feeling unwell! It's just that last time I went to see Shinobu Kocho... I didn't get to properly explore the place!"
Ryosuke looked at her suspiciously, feeling that the girl's motives were not pure.
But then I thought, waiting here for seven days would indeed be boring, but if I went to find Kagaya...
Who would proactively seek out their boss for no reason?
Do you think you don't have enough work to do?
In contrast, Ryosuke chose to go to the Butterfly Mansion, where he could also check on the production of the Phantom.
"Alright, let's go then."
Pear Blossom was very excited.
But a hint of cunning, as if her plan had succeeded, flickered deep within her smile.
Hehehe~ That's exactly what I wanted—they weren't here!
It's better that they're not around so I can make my move... no, it's better that I can borrow those medicinal herbs and study them properly!
I still remember the medicines I asked Shinobu about last time!
I absolutely have to figure this out!
Ryosuke geigei~
Pear Blossom's mind was racing with calculations, as if she could already see herself helping Ryosuke's flight take off and then catching a madman.
Who says pilots can only be men!
It's more cost-effective to let women help you take off!
Rika tugged at Ryosuke's hand and walked briskly.
Ryosuke felt completely bewildered.
Pear Blossom's excitement seems a bit excessive.
As soon as Pear Blossom entered, her eyes lit up, and she rushed straight to the medicine cabinet and grinding tools.
She pulled Yin, who was staying behind at the Butterfly House, along with her fingers, which flew across various medicinal herbs, asking one question after another.
From the properties of the medicine to its compatibility, from the grinding temperature to the final product's effect.
Ryosuke was extremely surprised.
Has this girl changed her personality?
Could it be that Shinobu Kocho's prank last time sparked her thirst for knowledge?
Well, it's a good thing after all.
That's better than her spending all her time thinking about strange and weird things.
Ryosuke ignored Rika and glanced at the rest area next to him.
But the person lying there startled Ryosuke.
Shuichuan Jingliu appeared weak and listless, her body wrapped in layers of bandages, looking like a rice dumpling.
Akira Moriyama stayed by his bedside to change his dressings.
Could it be that the flag has taken effect?!
But Shizuru Mizukawa is at least a pillar!
Who could have injured him like this?
Could it be the upper moon?!
Ryosuke strode over in a few steps.
"Mr. Mizukawa! Moriyama! What are you doing here?"
Upon hearing Ryosuke's voice, Akira Moriyama turned his head sharply.
His eyes were red-rimmed, and the moment he saw Ryosuke, his emotions overwhelmed him. He burst into tears and tried to rush over.
"Ryosuke-san! Ryosuke-san! You don't know! I almost... I almost didn't see you again! Waaaaaah..."
Ryosuke slapped him across the face.
"How could Mr. Mizukawa be so badly injured? What happened?"
Akira Moriyama's voice was filled with indignation: "We've encountered the Twelve Demon Moons."
Ryosuke raised an eyebrow and looked at Shizuru Mizukawa.
I wasn't planning to tell you this now.
Shuichuan Jingliu murmured.
He naturally understood what Ryosuke meant and slowly shook his head.
"We're not facing the waxing crescent, we're facing the waning crescent."
No! Just kidding, bro!
Your chicken feather is at least a pillar!
You can't even beat a lower moon?!
"Don't rush, let me explain first."
Mizukawa Shizuru coughed a few times and began to explain.
"What we encountered was the diseased leaf of the third quarter moon."
Ryosuke was even more confused.
The parkour guy who, after dying from exhaustion in the original work, demonstrated his parkour skills in the Infinity Castle during the layoff meeting held by the scumbag boss Muzan, attempting to escape?
Does he have that ability?
Shizuru Mizukawa shook his head with difficulty, his expression solemn.
"For some reason, he has become much stronger. His speed and strength far exceed what was previously described in the intelligence reports, and even his Blood Demon Art has undergone a strange change..."
Akira Moriyama nodded vigorously from the side, eager to add to the discussion.
"Yeah, Ryosuke-san! That sicko is so despicable! He didn't even bother with a proper duel!"
"He arrested all the people of Xilin Town! And he used his disgusting blood demon magic to parasitize them!"
Akira Moriyama gestured wildly with his hands, his face filled with shock and lingering fear.
"You didn't see it! Those people all have a huge, wriggling tumor on their bodies! It's bouncy and throbbing!"
"Many civilians have been separated and imprisoned!"
Chapter 71 Strike while the iron is hot! Take his life!
Shizuru Mizukawa took over the conversation, filled with deep self-reproach.
“He used the people as hostages and shields, and I was hesitant and restrained.”
"His new Blood Demon Art can parasitize human bodies and even detonate them. I was so exhausted and focused trying to cut off those tumors to save people that I exposed a weakness..."
Akira Moriyama quickly said, "Shuizhu was injured while saving the people! He almost killed that bastard!"
Shizuru Mizukawa gave a wry smile and looked at Ryosuke with a complicated expression.
"Heh... Actually, strictly speaking, his initial target was you, Naruto."
Ryosuke pointed to himself, completely dumbfounded.
What grudge do I have against this parkour guy?
I've never even seen him before!
