Chapter 82: Isao lives in a village

"So this is the Swordsmith Village..."

Hinatsuru, Makio, and Suma looked at the secretive settlement nestled in the dense forest. Although it was quite far from the town, everything was comfortable, and it appeared to be a good village.

"Welcome to our village, Iinuma Isao-sama!"

Naturally, all the villagers, who also happened to be skilled blacksmiths, also came to welcome Isao.

Before Isao came, Kagaya told all of them to welcome Isao with the greatest respect and that they should treat Isao the same way they treated him. Moreover, they were also tasked to craft the best weapon to be wielded by Isao to fight against the Demon King, Muzan Kibutsuji.

The significance of this responsibility wasn't something that could be taken lightly, and all the skilled masters in this village came to welcome Isao. Kagaya even told all of them to put down all of their work so they could make the best weapon for Isao.

Yes, Isao might no

t have the original breathing technique, the "Sun Breathing," but unlike in the past, the weapon of the Demon Slayer had become stronger due to the existence of science and technology, making all the impossibilities in the past became possible in this era.

If Isao wished to, he could even ask this group of blacksmiths to craft a gun or a bomb.

While their technology might not be comparable to the Western or the latest technology that existed in this country, they had something that the world didn't have, and that was the technology that had been accumulated by everyone on the Demon Slayer Corps for the past millennium.

Still, just because they could create a weapon, it didn't mean they could use it to fight Muzan, and they knew they needed a perfect warrior to utilize their weapon.

Isao was the chosen person, the hero or monster, who was born to erase the demon from this world.

Kagaya had told them most of the things, and they were ready to give their best to provide Isao with everything.

Yet, due to how exaggerated Isao's record was, they had to admit that it was quite unbelievable, unlike Hashira, who would doubt him and even try to provoke him. In this place, no one was stupid enough to doubt or provoke him since even if he wasn't as powerful as the imagination, there was no doubt that he was a respectable Demon Slayer who put his life on the frontline to fight against the nightmare in this world.

Still, at the same time, they were all curious since they wanted to see what kind of person had slain so many upper-ranking demons.

As expected, the moment they looked at him, they understood how special he was.

Appearance.

It was all due to this.

Isao was never someone who loved to hide his extraordinary, like the harem protagonist Isekai, so he could be low-key and live a peaceful life. When he faced someone, naturally, he had to exude his extraordinary so no one would underestimate him and treat him with the respect that he should get.

Moreover, his handsome face, impeccable appearance, and powerful physical ability were all factors that made him a perfect warrior in the eyes of everyone.

If they had to make a comparison, Isao would be like the moonlight that basked everyone in the gentle light during the darkest time.

Moreover, when Isao was like this, those who stayed by his side, such as Hinatsuru, Makio, Suma, and even Kanjiro, were also affected by his confidence and proudly lifted their generous chests.

"Thank you for welcoming us."

However, it would be too cruel to ask the villagers to turn the surrounding forest and mountains into scenery that matched the level of those five-star hotels in the modern world.

"We'll clean up the room first, Isao-sama." Hinatsuru, who was usually in charge of taking care of him, said, "You might as well rest on the hot spring pool inside the village. I have checked the temperature, and it feels quite nice."

Isao glanced at Hinatsuru, but when their eyes met, she blushed and looked away.

"....."

Isao took a deep breath and then nodded. "Okay."

"Kanjiro-sama, you should rest early. Our trip must be exhausting for you, right?" Makio was ready to lead Kanroji to the room on the furthest.

On the other hand, Suma, who was the clumsiest, quickly checked the surrounding area so no one could bother them. Yes, she might not be strong, but her ability at scouting was top-notch as she was a ninja, and due to her cowardly nature, she took care of her life carefully.

Still—

"Ah! I am not tired! I will help you guys to clean up the house!" Kanroji said excitedly as she raised her two fists high, ready to help the three widows.

"..." 3x

'Help?' 3x

They shook their heads inwardly, thinking that the best way for Kanroji to help them was to stay in her room quietly.

Still, while Makio wasn't sure what to do, Hinatsuru, who was the smartest, quickly said, "No, no. You have been tasked with an important responsibility to protect all of us. You should rest as much as you can, so if there is a battle, you can be Isao-sama's greatest support."

"Ah, is that so? Then, I will rest now!" Kanroji was surprised but quickly nodded, ready to rest obediently.

Watching how simple Kanroji was, the three sighed in relief. Still, when they looked at each other, they smiled, but unlike their usual gentle smile, this smile was lewd.

On the other hand, Isao, who was in the outdoor hot spring pool, washed his body with warm water from the natural hot spring on this mountain. Moreover, the elevation of the mountain made the water more comfortable.

At the same time, feeling how fresh and warm the water was, he had to say the quality of the water was much greater than the one in Tokyo.

Yes, the water in Tokyo was convenient, as he could get it just by opening the tap, but without the discovery of disinfection, its quality was horrible.

Still, as he thought about a meaningless matter, the door was opened.

"Isao-sama, let us wash your back~!" 3x

"...." Isao.

"........"

I don't expect you all to hate Boruto that much, but then again, I don't watch it, so it is all good.
