Ryosuke repeatedly agreed with Shimada Tsuyoshi's words.
At this moment, he held Yi Yong in his left hand and Qian Tu in his right, completely embracing both of them.
As the banquet drew to a close, everyone had eaten most of what they had.
Kagaya looked at Ryosuke and said softly.
"Mr. Ryosuke, are you satisfied?"
"Everyone is too tense usually, and needs to relax occasionally."
Ryosuke raised his glass to Yosuke.
Yaozai smiled and substituted tea for wine.
The atmosphere at the banquet gradually calmed down.
After sitting for a while, everyone got up one after another to say goodbye to Yaozai.
Ryosuke, Tengen Uzui, and Kanae traveled together to the Butterfly Mansion.
The pear blossom's wound has almost healed; all that's left is for her to rest.
Shota has an urgent mission: Ryosuke and Tengen Uzui must pick up Rika and bring her back to Momoyama.
Leaving the Ubuyashiki family's house, the hustle and bustle of the outside world and its vibrant life come rushing in.
Uzui Tengen kept talking to Ryosuke the whole way.
"Ryosuke! The key to understanding the score is to hear your opponent's attack rhythm as a specific musical note!"
"I think we need to find the repeating measures and chords!"
"Once we figure this out, we can know what the other party will do next!"
He gestured as he spoke.
Ryosuke listened attentively, nodding occasionally.
Although he doesn't have the same talent as Hua Li Ge, he has a knack for applying knowledge to other areas. His understanding of rhythm and anticipation is an essential quality for top players.
He memorized the key points that Uzui Tengen had explained, and silently deduced them based on his own combat experience, feeling that there was great potential in them.
"The score is almost perfected. You'll have to teach me properly when we get back to Momoyama," Ryosuke replied with a smile.
"no problem!"
Uzui Tengen patted his chest generously.
Compared to Tengen Uzui's enthusiasm, Kanae was much quieter.
She was somewhat dazed, her lips curved in their usual way, but lacking a certain vibrancy, and her eyes were unfocused.
Ryosuke noticed her unusual behavior, slowed his pace, and asked softly.
"What's wrong? You haven't been very energetic since the beginning."
"nothing."
Upon hearing this, Kanae shook her head gently: "It just feels like the gap between me and everyone else is even bigger than I imagined."
She recalled it and chuckled softly.
"You don't need to mention Mr. Beimingjima and Mr. Ryosuke."
"Mr. Shimada is a senior, and his qualifications and abilities are beyond doubt."
"Tengen and Giyu have been promoted to pillars for some time now, so their progress is naturally very rapid."
"Even Sabito, who just took over as a Pillar, the strength he showed today and his self-created Twelfth Form: Koga... I feel that he is far inferior."
Kanae's tone was calm, without jealousy, only clear understanding and a sense of urgency.
Ryosuke understands the pressure she feels.
Kanae is too gentle and kind, and has a strong sense of responsibility.
After seeing the gap between oneself and other pillars, it is inevitable to examine oneself and feel anxious.
"this is nothing."
Ryosuke smiled and comforted him in a relaxed tone.
Kanae looked at him, puzzled.
"Sabito and Giyu were classmates who participated in the final selection together and fought side by side. They went through countless life-and-death trials together and even joined forces to kill Lower Moon Two."
Ryosuke explained, "They have more battles and experience to go through than you have."
"You could say that you got to where you are today in half the time or even less than them."
"It's normal to have differences, there's no need to be unhappy about it, just give yourself more time."
Kanae nodded and chuckled softly.
"Thank you, Mr. Ryosuke. I will work even harder to catch up."
"Hey~ that's right."
The three of them walked at a brisk pace and returned to the Butterfly House before it got dark.
In the center of the courtyard, Pear Blossom sat lazily in her wheelchair.
Upon seeing Ryosuke return, his droopy eyes immediately lit up.
"Ryosuke-nii! Come and push me!"
Ryosuke responded.
He pushed Rika to Kanae's side and said softly.
"Then let's head back to Taoshan first."
Please drive carefully.
Kanae nodded with a smile.
Just as the three were about to leave, a figure came running up, panting heavily.
"Mr. Ryosuke, please wait a moment!"
Chapter 111 Come on! Baby!
"Xuanmi, what's wrong?"
Ryosuke turned around and looked at the awkward boy with the mohawk, raising an eyebrow.
Genya opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, Shijin arrived with his family.
The once quiet entrance to the Butterfly House was now bustling with activity.
The older children also looked up, eager to speak up for their older brothers.
"Mr. Ryosuke! Mr. Ryosuke! We heard from Yin's older brothers that it seems our eldest brother is going to participate in the final exam. Is that true?"
So that’s what happened.
He and Kanae attended a meeting of the Pillars and had a meal and a fighting contest at the Ubuyashiki House.
The exact time of the final assessment had already been conveyed by the raven in the afternoon, so it's not surprising that Xuanmi and the others knew about it.
Ryosuke nodded.
"Yes, my lord did indeed confirm the date for the final assessment today, which is in a month."
Xuanmi's eyes lit up when he heard this, but then he lowered his head, unable to speak.
Seeing his son like this, Shizu stepped forward and bowed slightly to Ryosuke.
“Mr. Ryosuke, I know you are very busy as a Pillar and shouldn’t be bothered, but…”
"We won't bother you too much, but we all miss Sanemi very much."
“On behalf of our family, Genya kindly requests that you take him to see Sanemi when it is convenient for you.”
"Even if it's just a glimpse from afar, knowing that he's doing well puts our minds at ease."
Ryosuke understood and comprehended this concern.
Sanemi may have a bad temper, but his love for his family is undeniable, and this family bond is one of the driving forces behind his growth.
Meanwhile, Ryosuke watched the boy with the rooster-like haircut as his thoughts raced.
Genya, as a demon eater, was an extremely special being.
The Devourer consumes demons and transforms into a demon, increasing physical strength and regenerative abilities, and also gains the ability to counter other people's Blood Demon Arts!
Genya's performance in the original work is also quite remarkable.
Despite being just a teenager, all the battles he recorded were high-level matches.
First, in the sword-forging village, he fought against Upper Moon Four, Hantengu, alongside Tanuki and Nezuko.
Secondly, in the final battle, he will fight against Upper Moon One, Black Death Eye.
Especially when fighting Kokushi-muko, he used the flesh and blood of the half-tengu that he had devoured after turning into a demon, and also used the half-tengu's Blood Demon Art to restrain Kokushi-muko, and even sucked a lot of his blood.
Without such an opportunity, Black Death Eyes would never have been beheaded.
Although Kokushibo ultimately died from his own ugliness, Genya's restraint played a crucial role.
With such physique and ability, Genya will definitely be sent to the front lines to fight, and Ryosuke is also interested in training him.
Take him to the final assessment to experience it firsthand, and it'll be good for him to get to know more people.
With that thought, Ryosuke nodded.
"Yes, Madam, I understand. I will take Xuanmi with me."
"Really? Thank you, Mr. Ryosuke!"
Xuanmi suddenly looked up, his face filled with ecstatic joy.
Mrs. Shizu breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you so much."
At that moment, Genya seemed to remember something and hurriedly took out a clean little package from behind him and handed it to Ryosuke.
