Chapter 48: Shinobu: You're Going the Wrong Way
But Ren was nowhere to be found.
Originally, Ren and Kanoe had been standing together, but now only Kanoe was there, standing obediently.
And Ren...
Under the cover of Kanoe, he had sneaked off toward the Butterfly House.
Uh-huh!
The light, colorful feather fabric swayed slightly.
Kocho Shinobu's small hand shot out and grabbed him fiercely.
With a bright smile, she said, "Mr. Ren, where are you rushing off to in such a hurry?"
Shinobu tugged on his hand and then pushed Ren back, walking him away.
Ren felt like the sky was about to fall.
He had just overheard what Kyojuro said, and he still didn't quite understand what kyojuro meant. Didn't he just want to teach him the Fire Breathing sword techniques?
He had taught him an entire afternoon the previous day, but kyojiro had only learned one technique!
And the self-developed Fire breathing had eleven techniques!
Ren felt that teaching him was going to take too long.
After all, what was the point of trying to teach someone who couldn't even grasp the basics?
He thought Kyojuro would understand his reluctance when he quietly slipped away with Kanoe yesterday.
But no, today, Kyojuro came straight to the Butterfly House!
Such directness, so candid.
Ren hurried his steps, nearly running, and when he reached Kyojuro, he grabbed his hand tightly and said, "Brother rengoku, actually, I think what Wind Hashira Sanemi said makes a lot of sense. I really am not qualified to teach you right now."
"You are Hashira—this is beyond your level!"
"Hey! What are you saying?" Kyojuro grabbed Ren's hand and said immediately, "Who dares to say that Mr. Ren isn't qualified to teach? I, rengoku Kyojuro, will be the first to refuse that!"
"This honor belongs to you alone!"
With that, a trace of guilt crossed Anjuro's face again.
"But it's a shame to admit…"
"Yesterday, Mr. Ren promised to teach me new moves, but my talent is too low. I only learned one move after studying for so long."
"After I went back, I couldn't figure it out, so I was planning to ask Mr. Ren again today!"
After saying that, Kyojuro appeared a little embarrassed.
It seemed he really felt guilty for not learning the technique.
This scene shocked everyone present.
Ren was teaching Flame Hashira how to breathe?
Everyone stared at Ren in confusion, doubt, suspicion, and shock!
An idea suddenly popped into their minds.
Could it be true? How could Ren teach the Flame Hashira how to breathe? Wasn't he someone who didn't even know how to wield a sword?
And the most outrageous thing of all—Hashira was admitting he couldn't learn it?
Just then, a black crow flew in from mid-air. It was Butterfly Ninja's crow!
The crow flew back from Ubuyashiki kagaya mansion, circling above them and shouting continuously: "Ah! Ah! Kocho Shinobu! Kocho Shinobu The Lord has given orders to get a set of Demon Slayer Pillar-level exclusive costumes for Mr. Ren!"
"In addition, my lord has allocated a quota for a nichirin Sword to Mr. Ren, and it will be delivered tomorrow!"
"Ah! Ah! Transmission completed!"
The crow made two sharp sounds before flying to Shinobu shoulder.
The whole place fell silent.
Inosuke and kyojuro blinked their wide eyes.
Shinobu and Kanoe were taken aback.
As for Sanemi his expression seemed as uncomfortable as if he'd eaten something bitter.
Anjuro: "I didn't expect the lord to respond so quickly."
Shinobu : "Yeah, I didn't expect Mr. Ren to be so valued! Now I won't need to buy a Nichirin sword!"
Kanoe: "I knew Mr. Ren was the best."
Inosuke: "Ren? Wasn't his name Renji?"
As for our protagonist, Ren, he shrugged helplessly.
What could he do? He was simply too good at everything!
He had only taught kyojuro a move yesterday, and now he was being rewarded with a set of Demon Slayer 'panels' today.
Overall, Ren thought it was fine.
After all, the Butterfly Ninja couldn't afford a Nichirin Sword for herself.
Why turn down free gifts?
Ren thought this way, content with the outcome.
Suddenly, Butterfly Ninja seemed to notice something, and her eyes brightened.
Her sweet, melodic voice rang out across the group: "Mr. Sanemi Shinazugawa, where are you going?"
Sanemi, walking near the door, froze.
The next moment, all eyes turned toward him.
Confused, puzzled, surprised.
These looks pierced through sanemi like knives.
Immortal River was leaving?
This sparked everyone's imagination.
The same thought crossed everyone's mind.
Was the wind Hashira trying to avoid Ren?
Just because Ren's message had just come in, Immortal River was hurrying to leave?
This scene was difficult to explain otherwise.
At the door, Sanemi stiffly turned around, his expression turning darker than a ghost's!
His face reddened, and the veins on his forehead bulged with frustration.
A complex mix of anger and laughter played across his features.
Because of his anger, the scars on his face looked even more grotesque.
At that moment, shinobu sweetly said, "Oh, look, I almost forgot, Mr. Sanemi didn't you want to ask Mr. Ren for advice?"
Her words pierced his heart like a dagger.
He couldn't understand how this woman had managed to provoke him so.
Her sweet voice was like honey, but it cut deep.
Sanemi took a deep breath.
Then he gritted his teeth and muttered, "I didn't…"
Snap!
Before he could finish, shinobu swiftly grabbed his sword and pulled him closer.
She smiled mischievously. "Sanemi look at you. In such a hurry to leave! When you're in a hurry, you end up going the wrong way!"
Without waiting for him to resist, Shinobu tugged Sanemi toward Ren.
To make sure he didn't get lost, she pointed directly to Ren's location: "It's over here~ Idiot!"
Sanemi: "…"
For a moment, Sanemi considered resisting.
But if he resisted, it would look like he was afraid of Ren.
And there were so many people watching!
So, Sanemi reluctantly followed Shinobu.
There was no choice, really—better to take the first step and see what happened next!
On the way, he tried to maintain his composure.
His footsteps were so fast that he reached Ren before Shinobu.
Seeing this, everyone finally understood.
It turned out they had misunderstood!
Judging by Shinobu's words, Wind Hashira wasn't avoiding Ren.
Rather, there were so many people around that it was hard for him to approach Ren directly if he had any questions!
