But they discovered that not only was his sister-in-law Shinobu Kocho there, but also the beautiful proprietress, Mrs. Amane, was at the Butterfly House.
Just as they were about to send someone to find them so they could go together to find the Tokito brothers, the two of them set off directly.
In fact, Xia Yan had some misunderstandings about Tianyin.
Although Tianyin had vaguely felt some affection for him before, it wasn't to the point of giving herself away for free.
The reason things have come to this point is largely due to what happened three days ago when Kagaya Ubuyashiki confronted her directly after she overheard his conversation with him.
As the eldest daughter of a priest's family, and a family with a history spanning thousands of years, Madam Tenon is a very traditional woman.
Even if she really has feelings for Xia Yan, she won't show it, much less do anything out of line.
Moreover, although it was an arranged marriage, she was not without feelings for Kagaya Ubuyashiki.
He also thought that after eliminating Muzan, Kagaya Ubuyashiki's body would be able to recover its health.
However, the situation is now clear: even if Muzan dies, Kagaya Ubuyashiki won't live for more than two years, and she will definitely have to remarry and become Natsuhiko's person.
After three days of self-planning, this is how it turned out.
"Lord Xia Yan..."
Perhaps they felt that continuing to walk quietly like this would create too much of an idyllic atmosphere and could easily lead to trouble.
Mrs. Tianyin suddenly spoke up, breaking the silence.
"You probably don't know the Tokito brothers' names yet."
"Yes, I really don't know yet."
Xia Yan responded indifferently.
He actually knew the names of the Tokito brothers, Yuichiro and Muichiro, but theoretically he shouldn't have known. Natsuhiko had no intention of acting as a prophet, so he simply said he didn't know.
Mrs. Amane smiled upon hearing this, and said with a hint of excitement, "They are twin brothers. The older brother's name is Tokito Ichiro, and the younger brother's name is Tokito Muichiro."
"Although neither Kagaya-sama nor I intended to force them to become swordsmen, we just wanted them to grow up safely under the protection of the Demon Slayer Corps. However, Ichiro seems to be wary of everyone."
"After I explained the situation of the Demon Slayer Corps, they always thought I just wanted to take advantage of their talents, so they were very resistant."
"However, after understanding the duties of the Demon Slayer Corps, the younger brother, Muichiro Tokito, wanted to join the Demon Slayer Corps, while the older brother, Yuichiro Tokito, strongly opposed his younger brother's decision."
"Therefore, all we need to do is persuade Ichiro."
"Really?" Xia Yan raised an eyebrow and asked with some surprise, "Didn't you explain the potential dangers to them?"
Upon hearing Xia Yan's question, Mrs. Tianyin paused for a moment, then said somewhat awkwardly:
“I did say some things, but Ichiro thought I made up excuses to deceive them. And the repeated emphasis on danger also meant to threaten them. I didn’t want those two children to feel threatened.”
"what?"
This time, it was Xia Yan's turn to be stunned.
"You've completely missed the point of the problem, haven't you?"
"Since you're only concerned about their safety, there's absolutely no need to worry about what impression the two brothers have of the Demon Slayer Corps!"
"Anyway, we're not planning to make them swordsmen, so it doesn't matter if we force them to go back and they cause trouble, right?"
Xia Yan glanced at Mrs. Tianyin speechlessly.
She looks like an ice queen, but she's actually quite naive.
Thinking of this, Xia Yan's gaze moved downwards, lingering for two seconds on Mrs. Amane's frontal armor, which was no less impressive in size than the Aoi branch.
Then he nodded thoughtfully.
With looks and figure like that, it seems like she doesn't really need to be too smart. Knowing when to eat when she's hungry and when to run home when it rains is enough.
Chapter 206 The younger brother cannot contradict the older brother
After hearing Xia Yan's words, Mrs. Tianyin remained silent for a moment.
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.
Fortunately, this awkward atmosphere didn't last long.
A somewhat simple wooden cabin appeared before the two of them.
Although the Tokito family makes a living by chopping wood, they still need to carry the wood to town to sell it, so they don't live deep in the mountains.
"This is the home of the Tokito brothers," Mrs. Amane said, pointing to the wooden house.
This is a very simple little wooden house, completely different from the rather grand house that Kamado's family had built before.
That's understandable, though.
After all, although the Kamado family wasn't very wealthy, their house was built hundreds of years ago when their ancestor saved the daimyo's wife and eldest son. To repay this kindness, they specially sent people to build it.
Ordinary people really can't compare.
In other words, it's rather unusual for the Kamado family to have such a large house, even though they are both poor families engaged in heavy labor.
dong dong dong-
Mrs. Tianyin went over and knocked on the door.
Since Xia Yan's visit was merely to accompany Mrs. Tianyin, the main social interactions were handled by Mrs. Tianyin; in other words, he was acting on orders to pick up girls.
Since it's just an ordinary log cabin, there's naturally no soundproofing.
You can clearly hear the sounds of children walking around.
A boy with long, straight black hair and mint-green eyes peeked out from the wooden window. Instead of opening the door, he walked into the inner room.
After a while, footsteps, slightly heavier than before, sounded.
Since it was only Xia Yan and Mrs. Tianyin on the way, he maintained his X-ray vision the whole time, and thus clearly saw what was happening in the room.
Just then, the boy who looked to be about ten years old, whom I had seen through the window, was carrying a full basin of water and swaying as he walked towards the door.
If he didn't look so angry, you'd think he was about to wash the feet of the person at the door.
However, he was clearly more inclined to let the person outside the door 'take a bath'.
Although he wouldn't mind watching Mrs. Tianyin give a wet and seductive look, considering that there were other people around, Xia Yan still pulled her away from the wooden door under Tianyin's somewhat puzzled gaze.
The next second, the wooden door opened.
Before Mrs. Tianyin could even see the person inside, she was met with a sudden downpour of cold water.
wow-
Although it is the hot summer now, the spring water from the mountains still carries a hint of coolness.
Monsters like Xia Yan, whose physical strength is no less than that of the Lower Moon Demons, naturally don't care much.
Let alone taking a shower in the summer, he would have no problem even if he went winter swimming.
However, a wealthy woman like Mrs. Tianyin, who never leaves her home and doesn't even need to do housework, would probably fall ill and be bedridden for three to five days after being splashed with this basin of water.
Fortunately, Xia Yan had already noticed this scene and made preparations to maintain a safe distance, thus preventing such an incident from occurring.
Mrs. Tianyin, who had already closed her eyes, waited for a long time but did not feel the water being poured on her, so she quietly opened her eyes.
Xia Yan held a sword in one hand and waved it slightly.
The water seemed to have been tamed by him, dancing wildly around his sword blade.
The boy who had just been splashing water at the door was completely stunned by this scene, looking at Xia Yan as if he were a god.
Being able to achieve this level doesn't mean that Xia Yan's swordsmanship has reached a point where it's impenetrable.
After all, no matter how amazing a sword technique is, it's impossible to cut through a stream of water with a sword or saber.
Of course, if you have superpowers, that's a different story.
Xia Yan is clearly not able to use this superpower at the moment. The reason he can do this is not by blocking the water flow with his sword, but by guiding and controlling the water flow through swordsmanship.
Both originate from the world of Demon Eyes Kyo, and belong to a school that controls water—
"Ignorance and punishment throughout the year!"
Xia Yan, who has become the ruler of the Demon Eyes Kyo world, is naturally also able to use this swordsmanship.
In fact, Xia Yan was proficient in all three styles: Wuming Shenfengliu, Wuming Suixingliu, and Wuming Taiyinliu.
However, compared to the strongest Mumei Shinfuryu, it is still somewhat inferior, so he would not use it unless necessary.
As one of the three major styles in the world of Kyo Kusanagi, unlike the Mumei Shinpu-ryu which attacks as swiftly and rapidly as a whirlwind, the Mumei Suixing-ryu is characterized by its flowing, unpredictable nature, with ever-changing attack angles that surge in from all directions to engulf the enemy.
Of course, this is all a hoax.
To put it simply, it's a superpowered sword technique that allows you to manipulate water once you learn it.
In terms of expressiveness, it is a school of thought that is closer to superpowers than Mumeijin Furyu.
After all, you can at least explain your manipulation of wind as sword energy, but when you're cutting people, you bring a water dragon with you, which can't be explained by swordsmanship.
That's why we've already reached our limit in terms of what we've achieved so far.
The Wuming Taiyin Flow is completely unusable.
If you want to go further, you can only rely on the magical Blood Demon Art.
"Brother! What are you doing!" Hearing the commotion, another child who looked exactly like him ran out of the house and snatched the wooden basin from the child who had splashed the water. "How could you treat a guest like that!"
It was obvious that the one who splashed water earlier was Tokito Ichiro, the older brother of the twins 903, and the one who came out next was Tokito Muichiro.
His voice woke up Tokito Ichiro and Mrs. Amane, who were still in a daze.
Tokito Ichiro roared back even louder: "They're not guests! That woman just wants to use us!"
"Why are you yelling so loudly?!" Tokito Muichiro raised his voice again. "Being a swordsman is great! I can help those who are harmed by demons! I want to become a swordsman in the Demon Slayer Corps!"
"A younger brother can't talk back to his older brother!" Ichiro's expression grew even angrier, and he raised his voice as well, shouting, "What do you think you can do! Someone who can't even cook rice wants to be a swordsman and protect others?! Stop dreaming! What can kids like us do?!"
"Going to become a swordsman is just a pointless and meaningless death! You should think about taking care of yourself first!"
"But Dad said we should try our best to help others! Helping others will eventually bring rewards!"
