Chapter 81: Swordsmith Village, let’s go!
"Swordsmith Village?"
The best way to give him the best weapon was to talk it to the master, and even if Isao wasn't even a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, Kagaya was going to give everything since their goal was the same: to kill (devour) Muzan Kibutsuji.
Moreover, the impression given by Isao kept changing.
From a coward who didn't want to give his life for a greater cause to an alien who couldn't be understood by the social norm.
For these people in this era, Isao was probably an alien, someone that they couldn't understand, yet even so, he attracted them. He couldn't be seen; it was pitch dark, like a black hole that had absorbed everything in his surroundings.
Yet, if Isao knew what they thought about him, he would cry since he was working hard to become a good guy, but why was he compared to the black hole?
Shouldn't they think of him as a sun who warmed everyone with his kindness?
Fortunately, no one said it out loud and kept everything in their hearts.
At the same time, while Isao was different, they could imagine that he existed like the creator of the original breathing style, Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
However, their style was different.
If Yoriichi was bright, the sun, who gave hope to everyone during their nightmare, then Isao was the night, the darkness that gave terror to the demon.
Yes, Kagaya thought so.
If they couldn't be the light, then they might as well turn into the dark, giving the demon the terror that they had never felt before.
Yet, if Isao knew what they thought once again, he would cry even harder since he was a good guy!
Fortunately, Isao wasn't fussy, and his thoughts quickly attracted him to the new vocabulary that came out of Kagaya's mouth.
If it were others, they would be confused about what kind of place the "Swordsmith Village" was, but Isao knew this place well, as it was where all the weapons for the Demon Slayer Corps were created.
If the Demon Slayer was the strongest warrior in the world, then the blacksmith in the "Swordsmith Village" was the best blacksmith in the world.
Their way of creating metal... Isao was greedy for it.
Oh, that wasn't a good choice of words.
Instead, he had always believed that the development of humanity couldn't escape from science, and for the future of humanity, he believed that he should get his hands on the methods of those best blacksmiths.
"Yes, it is a place where we get our weapons..."
As usual, Kagaya gave a perfect explanation, such as how NPC is in the RPG game. Nothing was left behind, and he told Isao everything.
"Do you think it is okay to bring me there?"
Isao felt weird since this guy didn't mind getting him into such a secretive and precious place.
The weapon of the Demon Slayer was the core of everything.
Yes, they might have the breathing style, but without a good weapon, it would be hard for them to defeat the demon.
However, Isao would be Kagaya's greatest investment.
Frankly, if Isao wanted his wife and child, Kagaya wouldn't refuse him.
Fortunately, Isao was a good guy, so he didn't have such a strange request.
With all of that, Isao prepared for his trip to the "Swordsmith Village," and naturally, he returned to the Butterfly Manor, inviting Kanae to go with him.
"Sorry, I can't go. I will help the others first."
Kanae felt bad when she thought she would leave all of those wounded to stay with her man.
"I see..." Isao sighed helplessly. "That's a shame."
"Well, there is no need to be disappointed, right? Hinatsuru, Makio, and Suma will go with you." Kanae then looked at the three widows and said, "Please take care of him during the trip, okay?"
"Yes, leave it to us, Kanae-sama." 3x
The three answered at the same time.
Watching their conversation, Isao thought that Kanae was really wife material as she let him bring the three widows to take care of his everyday matters.
Shinobu's lips twitched and wanted to stop them, but Kanae said, "Shinobu, stay with me, okay?"
"But..."
"Stay with me."
"....." Shinobu.
Kanae smiled, then looked at the new face among Isao's group. "Kanroji-san, please take care of everyone, too, okay?"
"Ye-Yes!" Kanroji nodded, feeling a heavy responsibility on her shoulders, and caused her large breasts to shake violently due to her excitement and nervousness. "I-I will take care of everyone! I will protect everyone!"
Everyone smiled at how cute and pure Kanroji was.
Unfortunately, this pureness might be tainted by this bastard.
Isao wasn't sure what everyone was thinking, but he could tell that everyone was looking at him.
'Well, aren't you all excited about this trip?'
Well, he, too, was excited.
"Okay, let's go to Swordsmith Village!"
"Oh!"
Kanroji was also excited, but she could see that compared to Hinatsuru, Makio, and Sume, her excitement seemed nothing. Regardless, while she was excited about this trip, she wished to learn from Isao, too~!
Ah, she wanted to become stronger, and it definitely wasn't something else.
