NOVEL NEXT Chapter 21: Chapter 22: The Contract with Xiao Hei
"The material of this uniform is quite good. It feels really comfortable…"
Feng Yu said as he put on the Demon Slayer Corps uniform that had been sent to him.
He then draped over himself a silver-white kimono, made of the same high-quality material.
In an instant, Feng Yu's already handsome face was further accentuated, highlighting his noble, well-mannered aristocratic aura.
"Feng Yu, the uniform you're wearing is made from special fibers. It's breathable, water-resistant, and fireproof. Even the claws and teeth of weaker demons can't tear it."
Urokodaki Sakonji said to him seriously.
"No wonder, when I watched anime in my previous life, those intense battle scenes never seemed to tear the clothes. Turns out, the material is this strong…"
"If this was in my previous life, this kind of material could probably be applied in other fields too."
Feng Yu said, touching the fabric of his uniform.
"And now, about your Nichirin Sword. It changes color depending on its master. The color determines its unique properties. Though, the green one isn't too bad…"
Feng Yu looked at his green Nichirin Sword, its unsettling color causing his lips to twitch.
"You are an extremely talented genius, and this is your first mission. You must stay safe, but always remember, you are a Demon Slayer, and never forget your humanity…"
"Yeah, I know."
Feng Yu responded indifferently.
"By the way, take this with you. I assume you'll bring Xiao Bai along with you."
Urokodaki Sakonji took out a wooden box, resembling the popular pet carriers from Feng Yu's previous life. It was designed to comfortably hold Xiao Bai when it shrunk, and also allowed for a view of the outside world.
"Master Sakonji, you're amazing. You can even make something like this."
Feng Yu took the box and examined it with admiration.
"Alright, Master Sakonji, I need to leave now. If I stay any longer, someone might be lost to the demons."
Feng Yu shouldered the box, placed Xiao Bai inside, and then took his Nichirin Sword, heading for the door of the cabin.
Urokodaki Sakonji and Tanjiro followed him outside to see him off.
"Wait…"
Urokodaki Sakonji called out to Feng Yu, walking over to him. He adjusted Feng Yu's appearance, giving a nod of approval.
"Make sure… make sure you stay safe!"
"Master Sakonji, I will!"
Feng Yu could sense Urokodaki Sakonji's concern for him, and nodded in acknowledgment.
"Feng Yu, take care on your journey. We'll all be here waiting for your return!"
Tanjiro ran up and gave Feng Yu a hug.
"Alright, but you have to do your best too!"
Feng Yu smiled and patted Tanjiro's shoulder before setting off.
"May you, Feng Yu, have great success in your mission!"
…
Once Feng Yu left Sagiri Mountain, he suddenly felt a tinge of reluctance in his heart.
"After all, I've lived with them for more than a year…"
Feng Yu sighed.
Inside the wooden box, Xiao Bai seemed to sense his slight melancholy.
The little fox climbed out of the box, jumped onto Feng Yu's shoulder, nudged his cheek with its head, and then licked his face.
It seemed to be saying:
"Don't be sad, master. You still have me."
"Alright, alright, I know. I'm just feeling nostalgic. It's been almost two years since I arrived in this world. I've realized that as you grow older, the most common thing you experience is separation."
"But fortunately, now I have you…"
Feng Yu smiled and stroked Xiao Bai's head, then looked up at the small black crow flying freely in the sky.
"Xiao Hei, come down. I need to talk to you."
Feng Yu called out to the crow.
However, Xiao Hei hesitated, afraid of Xiao Bai, but still forced itself to fly down and called out:
"Wah… wah… Zhong Chuan Feng Yu, what's the matter, what's the matter?"
Feng Yu's lips curled up.
"Do you want to eat this?"
Feng Yu held out a Marrow Bone Pill in his hand.
Xiao Hei's eyes locked onto the pill, its nose twitching at the enticing scent.
Just as Xiao Hei was about to eat the pill, Feng Yu quickly pulled out a pet contract and swiftly bound Xiao Hei as a pet.
"Wah… wah… Zhong Chuan Feng Yu… What did you do to me? What did you do to me?"
Xiao Hei cried out in panic.
"It's alright, Xiao Hei. It's all yours now."
Feng Yu took out five more Marrow Bone Pills and placed them in front of Xiao Hei.
Xiao Hei couldn't help but swallow. The smell of the pills was incredibly tempting, drawing out Xiao Hei's primal instincts.
A voice in its head urged it to eat the pills quickly.
Xiao Hei struggled internally, but its wariness toward Feng Yu gradually faded away as the pill took effect.
"Feng Yu… Master, Xiao Hei still wants more…"
After eating the Marrow Bone Pill, Xiao Hei rapidly grew in size, its claws and beak becoming sharper and more lethal.
"Not bad, looks like the contract is taking effect…"
Feng Yu thought to himself.
"Don't rush. You should digest and absorb the effects of the pill today."
He then checked Xiao Hei's profile:
Name: Xiao Hei
Species: Kasugai Crow
Talent: Direction sense, ability to speak human language
Introduction: A highly intelligent crow raised by a special organization.
"Looks like every Kasugai Crow has this talent…"
Looking at Xiao Hei, which had grown to the size of a hunting eagle, Feng Yu couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed.
"It's a bit small… It ate five pills and only grew this much. It can't even carry me…"
"Should I use Beast Breathing now?"
Feng Yu considered it for a moment, but decided against it. After all, he only had two more uses of Beast Breathing left. If it didn't work on Xiao Hei, he would be at a huge loss.
Feng Yu decided to wait until tomorrow to use it on Xiao Hei.
"Alright, Xiao Hei, Xiao Bai, from now on, you two are partners. Xiao Bai, you can teach Xiao Hei Beast Breathing so it can familiarize itself with it."
Xiao Bai nodded and then began a conversation with Xiao Hei, the fox and crow exchanging words in their own language.
"Ying"
"Wah"
…
"They're quite the pair…"
"But that's good. It'll make the journey more interesting."
With that, Feng Yu followed Xiao Hei's guidance and arrived at the town.
Upon entering the town, Feng Yu immediately felt that the atmosphere was off.
There was a faint sense of death, even though the streets were bustling, there was an eerie lack of vitality. The air was thick with a sense of sadness.
"Hm? It feels like there are many eyes watching me…"
"Could it be the demon?"
Feng Yu thought to himself.
In this town, Feng Yu noticed that there were many flowers, although he didn't recognize them, but people seemed to love them. Every household grew them.
Suddenly, a small boy darted out from the crowd and bumped into Feng Yu.
"Big Brother, hurry… hurry and leave… or you'll end up like them…"
The boy, covered in dirt, grabbed Feng Yu and tried to pull him away.
"It's okay, tell me, did you see something? Don't worry, I'm here to deal with that thing…"
Feng Yu spoke calmly.
"Really, Big Brother? Are you really here to kill the monster that eats people?"
The boy asked, his eyes wide with surprise.
"Yeah, but you need to tell me what's been happening here so I can figure out how to kill that monster."
"Big Brother, come to my house."
The boy led Feng Yu to his house.
Along the way, the scent of flowers grew stronger, and Feng Yu began to piece together the puzzle.
