Mana is packing her things.
Because the research laboratory will also need to be used by Miss Tamashii in the future. Of course, there are some experiments that Ms. Tamashii has already done, and Mana does not need to do them again.
Before Miss Tamashi comes, Mana plans to rearrange the research room.
Experiments on ghosts can be done by Miss Tamashii, but some experiments on chakra, such as the cultivation of sacrifices, still require Mana to do it herself.
Because of the participation of Ms. Tamashii, Ubuya Shiki Yaoya was able to save some money, and some of the equipment that was originally needed did not need to be purchased for the time being.
After Mana finished cleaning up the laboratory, he also made a list for Uyashiki Yoshiya and checked off some less urgent equipment.
When he got Mana's form, Ubuyashiki Yoshiya was a little excited: "It's really great..."
"Teacher Yoya?"
Ubuyashiki Yaoya said: "It is true that scientific research equipment is too expensive. Even according to the news from the United States, the price we gave is difficult to negotiate, but it should be much better now."
Ubuyashiki Yaoya didn't know that scientific research cost so much.
Over the years, the Demon Slayer Corps has not had any particularly outstanding research talents. The Butterfly Ninja is more interested in medicine and poison than research. Although Ubuyashiki Yōya was a little frightened by Mana's price before, he felt that it was still negotiable.
As a result, after sending people to contact relevant foreign institutions, they discovered that the reference price given by Chen Nai was really the bottom line price. It is not unusually difficult to buy everything at this price.
Even with Ubuyashiki Yōya's training, he couldn't help but murmur in his heart, no wonder Mana insisted that he contact people in the United States.
At the price Jinna offered, the United Kingdom and other countries would not even bother to take a look at it. Only the emerging United States, which is now eager to open up the market and want to do business with the world, is willing to say "we can talk about it again." will.
Of course, from this point, Ubuyashiki Yaoya also saw that the international situation did have an impact on the Demon Slayer Corps.
In the past, the Demon Slayer Corps felt that the changes in the world were far away from them and had nothing to do with killing evil spirits. But now it seems that the Demon Slayer Corps really needs to know more about the world.
Mana looked at the slightly relaxed expression on Uyashiki Yoya's face, and said hesitantly: "Um... Teacher Yoya, you have the advantage of relaxing too early."
Ubuyashiki Yoshiya: "...?"
An ominous premonition suddenly arose in his heart.
Mana said: "It's about the machine gun tested this time. I think we have entered into a misunderstanding before. As far as the power of shooting is concerned, machine guns are indeed far superior to ordinary guns, and are even enough to beat people into sieves in an instant. This time The results of the test seemed good, but there was another problem.”
Mana raised a finger: "Because of the powerful force of shooting, most of the time machine gun bullets cannot effectively stay in the body. Ghost bodies are indeed stronger than ordinary people, but when facing special bullets, this advantage does not exist." In other words, most bullets cause penetrating damage when they hit ghosts."
Ghosts and humans are completely different. Even if a hole is blown in a ghost's body, the ghost won't care. With the ghost's resilience, it can grow back quickly, but if a human is covered in holes, he will definitely die. Lost.
"So we need guns and bullets with less penetrating power. At the same time, we need bullets that can stay in the body as much as possible after being injected into the body and release the wisteria flower poison in them. I looked at the current types of guns and bullets and thought It is difficult to find one that meets the conditions, which means that we need to specially develop a gun and matching bullets specifically for ghosts."
Ubuyashiki Yoshiya said: "Since you mentioned it to me, you must have already had an idea, right?"
Mana said: "Relying on the power of the Demon Slayer Squad, we can't afford a research and development team for guns, let alone a production line. That would be equivalent to building our own arsenal. I don't think the government will tolerate this kind of thing." Of course, from a practical point of view, we don’t have to do that. For this kind of thing that does not involve ghosts, we only need to make a request and then entrust foreign companies to conduct research and development, and we can give up many rights and interests. Because in the end we only need to be able to get the finished product, and nothing else matters. I think the Demon Slayer Corps has no intention of switching to arms dealers. After completion, it will also be entrusted to those arms companies to manufacture it, and we will spend money to buy the finished product."
After all, their purpose is to kill Wuhan, and there is no need to consider the 'future' at all.
Ubuyashiki Yaoya felt his head hurt when he heard this: "But this also requires a lot of funds. In addition, if you want to open up relationships with the government, I'm afraid it will also cost a lot of money..."
Mana said: "Let the Americans handle the government's relations, even if it's after-sales service. Besides, it's easier for the Americans to handle it than it is for us to do it ourselves."
The most important thing is that if the superiors discover that there may be Americans behind the Demon Slayer Corps, this will certainly make them guard against the Demon Slayer Corps, but it will also try to make some things as convenient as possible for the Demon Slayer Corps.
This requires exquisite timing and propriety.
This job sounds difficult, but once it is completed, it will indeed provide a huge boost to the Demon Slayer Squad.
"The Demon Slayer Corps doesn't need to consider its future development. As long as we kill Muzan, we can disband on the spot, right?"
Because there is no need to consider the future, in terms of behavior, sometimes one can be more 'reckless'.
Ubuyashiki Yōya said: "I will consider this, but...Mana, our problem now is that we really don't have any extra funds."
When fighting with only the Nichirin Sword, Ubuyashiki Yōya felt that the Demon Slayer Corps was quite wealthy and had no financial worries at all. However, once scientific research, thermal weapons, etc. were involved, the Demon Slayer Corps' finances were immediately stretched.
Mana: "...Then find a way to make money."
Ubuyashiki Yoshiya was stunned: "But the current Demon Slayer Industry..."
"I'm not talking about what the Demon Slayers currently have," Mana said: "I have also understood the economy of the Demon Slayers. I feel that the Demon Slayers have no creativity at all. With the capabilities of the Isanyashiki clan, they can be more bold. A little bit?"
Ubuyashiki Yōya always felt that Mana was going to say something shocking again.
Mana did live up to his expectations.
"Do the Uyashiki clan have some ability to predict the future? I don't know much about the economy of this world, but why don't you hire someone who does? I think this ability can fall into the hands of anyone on Wall Street , enough to multiply your wealth several times within a year.”
Mana looked at Uyashiki Yoshiya: "Or maybe the Uyashiki clan's precognitive ability is actually just a vague perception and cannot understand the detailed situation?"
Uyashiki Yoshiya said: "The precognition ability of the Uyashiki clan is not controlled by ourselves. Our ability is more like an intuition, but... even I can't subjectively control myself at a certain time. What do you feel about specific things? From experience, the ability of the Ubuyashiki clan to foresee will be effective in important matters that are closely related to them. The Demon Slayer Corps has been on the verge of extinction several times in its history, and this is also true. It is this kind of intuition at critical moments that allows the Demon Slayer Squad to be preserved."
Mana nodded: "I see, that means there is no hope of making a fortune on Wall Street."
If there is any country in the world that Jinna is very optimistic about about its future development, it must be the United States.
Although Britain and France were the victors in World War I, from all indications, they already gave people a feeling that the sun was setting on the horizon. On the contrary, the United States had the right time, just like the rising sun, and had a lot to do.
...Actually, if the Demon Slayer Corps' power was not too small internationally, Mana felt that it would be most cost-effective to go to Germany to make a fortune at this time.
As a defeated country in World War I, Germany is facing a huge crisis at this time, but Germany was once strong. It's not like Jane wants to buy something as sensitive as aircraft and warships, just some scientific research equipment. The prices in Germany may be more affordable than in the United States.
Of course, there is no need to consider Germany's problems now.
Mana thought for a while and said to Uyashiki Yōya: "Then we have to use our strengths."
What are the specialties of the Demon Slayer Squad?
Kill ghosts?
You can't let the team members perform on the streets, right?
But other than these, even Ubuyashiki Yoshiya couldn't think of anything else they were particularly good at.
Mana smiled: "I have been to many cities recently. Teacher Yaoya wouldn't think that I was just there for fun, right? I have carefully inspected the situation in the city."
"The specialty of the Demon Slayer Corps, in addition to killing ghosts, is also growing wisteria flowers! Even if the environment of Fujisei Mountain is indeed very suitable for the growth of wisteria flowers, on the other hand, the cultivation of the Demon Slayer Corps also plays an indispensable role, right? ?Then why not develop some Wisteria peripheral products?”
In fact, the Demon Slayer Squad has not researched anything except wisteria flower poison.
Moreover, Wisteria flower poison was specially developed by Butterfly Ninja to make up for his lack of strength.
Can you imagine?
Knowing that ghosts hate wisteria flowers, and that a large number of wisteria flowers can restrain ghosts to a certain extent, the Demon Slayer Squad has never thought of doing anything with wisteria flowers for thousands of years.
Even if I didn't expect it before, with the butterfly ninja using poison to kill demons, and even after becoming an insect pillar with it, the demon slayer team still didn't do anything. This is unscientific no matter how you think about it!
"At this point, I think the Demon Slayer Corps is just a joke. Of course, we are not discussing this issue today," Mana said: "I mean, refining wisteria flower poison requires a large amount of wisteria flowers, and Except for the part where the toxin is extracted from these wisteria flowers, almost all the rest is wasted. If we want to use wisteria poison bullets in the future, then the output of wisteria poison must be increased. From this, there is a problem. Where do so many wisteria flowers come from, and...after extracting the wisteria flower poison, will all those wisteria flowers be wasted?"
Ubuyashiki Yoya asked: "Do you want to sell these wisteria flowers? No... are you doing other processing?"
Mana said: "I brought a gift to Tianyin from Tokyo this time. Didn't Teacher Yaoya see it?"
Ubuyashiki Yōya said: "Speaking of this, I would also like to thank you. She mentioned it to me and seemed to like it very much, but I didn't ask in detail what it was."
Mana sighed: "Teacher Yoya, I feel like I have to repeat what I have said many times, open your eyes and see the world!"
"The gifts I brought to Tianyin's wife are two perfumes that are very popular in Tokyo. There is also an essential oil that is said to be very popular among wealthy women. Lipstick is also a popular color abroad. It is said that many ladies and wives are here. In addition, there are other skin care products and cosmetics. This is not important, so I won’t go into details. I just thought that since we need a lot of wisteria flowers, we should get some wisteria flower perfume. Wisteria Flower essential oils, for the general public, you can also make some wisteria soap. The smell of wisteria should be a more acceptable fragrance for humans, so why not make it?"
Mana is still very motivated when talking about her idea: "If the street is filled with the fragrance of wisteria flowers all day long, it will be difficult for ghosts to deal with, right?"
Ubuyashiki Yoshiya said: "This... is indeed an idea that can be considered."
Mana said: "How can it be so simple! As I mentioned before, where are the Demon Slayers going to get so many wisteria flowers? It's not enough to just rely on vines to attack the mountains, and if you want to produce something, you have to have something. Factories, we can’t locate all factories in Fujisei Mountain. My idea is to plant wisteria flowers near the city. The wisteria flowers of Demon Slayer are particularly good. I have never seen them anywhere else. With the wisteria growing so well, the Demon Slayers can definitely teach the locals how to grow wisteria."
Ubuyashiki Yoshiya said: "Of course there is no problem with this. If they are willing to learn, it would also be a good thing for more people to plant wisteria."
Although the wisteria outside Fujisei Mountain may not be able to bloom all year round, with the Demon Slayer's technology, it is still very easy to extend the flowering period. Even if it only blooms for one more month, it will make people safer for one month. Don't worry about ghost attacks.
Mana looked at the look on Uyashiki Yoya's face and covered her face silently: "Teacher Yoya, you are such a good person..."
Compared with Ubuyashiki Yoya's idea of purely considering others, Mana felt that her heart was a little dirty.
"I originally thought that wisteria flowers are quite beautiful, especially when planted in large areas. In addition, wisteria is also a type that is easier to shape than other plants. Therefore, while planting wisteria flowers, we can also develop tourism. For vacations and other things, if the transportation between it and the city is convenient, it can attract many people from the city to come and have fun in their free time.”
Ubuyashiki Yōya said: "This is also a very good idea, Mana, you think very well, don't show such an expression."
"No, please don't comfort me yet," Zhenna said: "What I think about is that people who can live in big cities and have money to go out for leisure and entertainment must have either money or power, or both, and they can use this Take the opportunity to make friends with them. In addition, teach the people to grow wisteria flowers and purchase them from them. This will definitely increase their income. When the people have more income, their consumption will naturally increase, and the government will receive more tax revenue. In addition, when we build factories and sell products, we also have to pay taxes, which means that when we face the government, our economic contribution will be our confidence to a certain extent."
This brings us back to the original topic.
If the Demon Slayer Corps wants to possess guns, it certainly doesn't mean they can just buy weapons and equip them. They must reach a tacit understanding with the government to a certain extent.
This government is not just about the central government. In fact, the acquiescence and connivance of local governments is more important.
Which local governor doesn’t want tax revenue to increase in his or her region?
With the financial confidence and the "foreign friends" in contact, Mana felt that as long as the Demon Slayer Corps didn't go too far, it was completely acceptable to have a few guns in hand.
Yasuoya Shiki: "..."
Okay, he really didn't think about this before.
but……
"The Uyashiki clan does have some connections over the years, and we can ask them to help when the time comes."
Zhenna nodded immediately: "Of course this is the best. Collusion between government and businessmen makes money."
Ubuyashiki Yaoya feels that this is not just about making money.
But he really had no reason to object.
At present, the Demon Slayer's industry is indeed enough for them to have enough food and clothing. If they don't consider the issue of thermal weapons, they even have a little money left.
But from another perspective, the number of people in these industries is also close to saturation.
So, after killing Muzan, where will the low-level members of the Demon Slayer Corps go?
The strength that Mana values is only the level of the pillars. Even among the pillars, she will not accept everyone, let alone other ordinary team members.
The future of these team members is something Uyashiki Yoshiya must consider.
If the Demon Slayer Corps has more new industries, then these team members can be assigned to factories.
These days, going to a factory is not a bad way out.
If we take into account that today’s education is not yet universal and the literacy rate of ordinary people is not high, and the members of the Demon Slayer Corps have at least reached the level where they can read and write on a daily basis, then these members will undergo some training in the future and work in factories. The management staff in the company are also completely fine.
This coincides with Mana's proposal to build a school and ask the team members to study more and study more.
Ubuyashiki Yōya couldn't help but wonder if Mana had planned all this from the beginning?
Otherwise, why would you have no scruples when you spend money in the first place?
Every proposal she made was tempting, and Uyashiki Yōya followed her ideas step by step.
Can……
Looking at Mana's childish face, Uyashiki Yōya felt that he might have thought too much.
Mana blinked and called out in confusion: "Yoya-sensei?"
Ubuyashiki Yoya shook his head: "It's nothing, it's just...when did you start planning these?"
Mana thought for a while: "From the beginning, I read a lot of books, and I felt that Demon Slayer Squad was a bit too traditional. It was so traditional that it was a shame for this wonderful era. However, there were many ideas at that time that were just ideas and not Mature, so I didn’t talk about it.”
Ubuyashiki Yōya said: "So, I really should read more books."
He used to just help Zhenna collect books and information and then pass them on to her. He didn't pay much attention to the content of those things.
Now it seems that it is indeed necessary to take a closer look.
As the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, we can't rely entirely on Mana to find a way out for the Demon Slayer Corps. Then he would be derelict in his duties as the leader.
Mana happily agreed to share the books she had read with Ubuyashiki Yōya: "Many books are very interesting. It would be a big loss if you don't read them!"
Ubuyashiki Yoya looked helpless: "I will take a good look."
However, he doesn't know any shadow clone and body techniques, so I'm afraid his reading efficiency is not as high as Mana's.
After Mana returned, she packed up her books and had them sent to Ubuyashiki Yōya.
The person delivering the book had just left the house when Tomioka Giyuu walked in: "Mana, are you looking for me?"
Mana said: "I have something I would like to ask Mr. Tomioka for help with."
Before, Mana cleared out a lot of ghosts in the old examination room for the final selection in Fujisei Mountain. She thought it would be too wasteful to kill them casually, so she circled them all in another place as experimental materials. However, with the addition of Miss Tamashii, she , those ordinary ghosts have completely lost their value.
"I thought, it's better to let them all go. It's safer to kill them. But even if they are to be killed, they can still use their remaining heat. Didn't the breeders come with their disciples? Just kill them. This should be the first practical exercise after the start of school. However, we do not expect those children to be able to kill ghosts. We just want them to experience the feeling of fighting ghosts. Mr. Tomioka can also take this opportunity to teach them some practical experience. ."
Tomioka Giyu thought for a while: "I still have special training courses to complete."
Mana waved his hand: "Don't worry, those ghosts are not very strong. Mr. Tomioka will definitely solve them quickly. Moreover, the next special training course will be explained by senior Yuan Yi on spots and the transparent world. Why? There must be a practical demonstration of this, the new sacrifice for him has not grown yet, Mr. Tomioka, you have enough time to kill the ghost."
In this case, Tomioka Yoshiyuki certainly would not refuse.
Then that night, Mana asked Tomioka Giyu to take some powerful students to kill ghosts, along with several trainers responsible for protecting the safety of the students.
As a result, less than two hours later, Mana met Tomioka Giyu again.
Tomioka Giyuu looked a little pale and looked anxious.
Tomioka Giyu, who practices water breathing, has always remained calm, almost as if his heart is still water. This is the first time Mana has seen him show such a pale and fragile expression.
"Mr. Tomioka?"
Mana thought he was accidentally injured, so she pressed him on the chair and quickly checked him, only to find that Tomioka Giyuu was very healthy physically, but mentally unhealthy.
The Uchiha clan is good at illusions, and their perception of the spiritual world is naturally keener than ordinary people. Mana is also good at medical ninjutsu and has great experience in treating injuries caused by illusions.
Tomioka Giyuu didn't look like he was harmed by the genjutsu, but his mental state was no better than those who were affected by the genjutsu.
"Mr. Tomioka? What happened?"
While using the method of treating illusion damage to help Tomioka Giyu stabilize his emotions, Mana asked softly: "What happened?"
For a master of illusion, sound, movement, touch, smell, any perception can become a medium for illusion.
Mana used the illusion technique at this time, but it was not an offensive illusion.
Tomioka Giyu's eyes flickered: "I... saw him."
"he?"
"It's the ghost who killed Qiang Rabbit."
When the Kamado brothers and sisters left Mt. Saagiri, Mr. Nintaki personally made disaster relief masks for Tanjiro and Nezuko.
After knowing that he was going to die, the ghost recognized the mask Tanjiro was wearing and told him that he had eaten all the disciples of Mr. Nintaki over the past few decades.
He also mentioned that he had met a very powerful guy many years ago. Of course, that guy was also eaten by him in the end.
The ghost even recognized Tomioka Giyu's clothes.
The haori that Tomioka Giyuu wears outside the Demon Slayer uniform all year round has two completely different patterns, half of which are from his friend Qiu Usagi who died to protect others in the final selection many years ago.
The death of Chiu Usagi has been a knot in Tomioka's mind for many years. He never expected that he would see the ghost who killed Chiu Usagi today.
After the ghost discovered that Tomioka Giyuu cared about Qiu Rabbit, he even deliberately told the details of the process of eating Qiu Rabbit to stimulate Tomioka Giyuu.
It seemed that seeing Tomioka Giyu's painful expression could bring him great relief.
Tomioka Giyu, who was in pain, killed the ghost like a catharsis.
Perhaps for those children who have not passed the final selection, the demon is very powerful, but Tomioka Giyuu is the pillar, the pinnacle of strength in the Demon Slayer Team.
He killed the ghost easily.
But it was precisely because of this ease that he couldn't accept it even more.
It was such a ghost that killed Qiang Rabbit. Even a useless person like him could easily kill this ghost now. So what about Qiang Rabbit?
No, if Qiang Rabbit didn't work hard to save others, resulting in frequent battles that consumed a lot of physical strength and damaged the Nichirin Sword, killing this ghost would not be impossible for Qiang Rabbit.
During that selection, Chiu Rabbit saved Tomioka Giyu.
So Tomioka Giyu couldn't help but ask himself at this time.
If he had been stronger at that time, if he didn't need Qiantu's rescue, would Qiantu have a chance to survive from that ghost's hands?
Mana looked at Tomioka Giyu who shed tears as he spoke, and couldn't help but sigh: "Mr. Tomioka, although I may not be qualified to say anything about this, things have passed and people have to look forward. "
"You killed that ghost today. He will never be able to hurt anyone again, including the countless evil ghosts you have killed over the years and the countless lives you have saved. These all prove that your survival is not worthless. of."
Tomioka Giyu said: "But if it is Qiu Usagi, he can definitely do better. I clearly didn't kill even a ghost in the final selection..."
"As a ninja, it's hard for me to judge such behavior, but this is indeed the choice he made. In fact, I think Mr. Tomioka's friend is indeed a better member of the Demon Slayer Corps than anyone else. Even if he didn’t officially pass the final selection in the end.”
"But he is the one who understands the meaning of the Demon Slayer Corps better than anyone else."
"Protect everyone in sight from being harmed by evil spirits, pick up weapons, kill evil spirits, and save lives that should not be lost. He did it, and he did it well."
Perhaps Tomioka Giyuu was comforted by Mana's extremely high evaluation of Tsutomu. He did look much better, and his tone was slightly calmer: "Well, Tsutomu is very powerful."
Mana felt that Tomioka Giyuu at this time was like a child who was proud of "I have a super powerful friend": "Just like the countless ancestors who have sacrificed their lives to kill evil spirits over the past thousand years, Qiu Usagi also did it for this. He died for one purpose, so Mr. Tomioka, please don’t attribute the responsibility to you, because the living are not more humble than the dead, and the living are never useless.”
"Those who survive will take over the sword from their ancestors and wield it against the evil spirits again."
"Just like what is engraved on the sword, evil spirits will be destroyed."
"You are not a useless person holding Qiu Tu back. You are the inheritor of his will. You are on the same path as him, carrying his hope and going further."
"The death of Qiantu is not the end, but the beginning of a continuation."
"Mr. Tomioka, now you also have the power to save others."
Mana looked at Tomioka Giyu: "Would you like some water?"
Tomioka Giyu nodded slightly: "Thank you, Mana."
Mana smiled shyly: "This is actually what my teacher told me. Teacher Hashirama once said that our village is called Konoha Village and our shadow is called Naruto. This is not meaningless."
"He told me that where the leaves are flying, the fire will burn. The fire will illuminate the village, and new branches and leaves will sprout."
Tomioka Yoshiyuki said: "Your teacher must be a great person."
The clouds outside the window moved away quietly, and the bright moonlight once again filled the courtyard.
The wisteria blooming in the courtyard swayed slightly in the night wind, its petals falling gently, causing silent ripples on the water.
Mana's voice suddenly became full of energy when she mentioned Senju Hashirama: "That's right! Teacher Hashirama is awesome!"
So that night, neither Mana nor Tomioka Giyu planned to sleep. Mana even made tea, took out the melon seeds and peanuts, and one of them talked about Qiu Usagi, the other said Hashirama, and they just started chatting.
Halfway through the conversation, Mana suddenly asked: "Mr. Tomioka, are you hungry? Do you want to eat noodles? There is a restaurant in Tokyo where the noodles are particularly delicious this time!"
Tomioka Giyu couldn't help but glance at the moon: "At this time?"
Mana said: "Tokyo is a big city, and stores are open until very late. I have left several Flying Thunder God marks in Tokyo. Do you want to eat together?"
It wasn't until Mana took him with him to fly to Thor, and when the butterfly house was filled with lights one second and the next, Giyu Tomioka realized what was happening.
Then, just like countless times before, I felt in my heart that the Flying Thunder God technique was really convenient.
At the same time, he also looked at Mana's side: "Jigoku-senpai?"
Before Mana came, he took Enichi Tsukuni out of the coffin and took him with him.
Jiguoyuan nodded slightly to Tomioka Giyu: "Hello."
Mana pulled them and said: "Hurry up, hurry up, that store is very busy until night, let's go there quickly - ah, by the way, Yui Yi-senpai, I'll give you the money, please help me buy another octopus Burn it, and you also need two portions of three-color meatballs, the same one we ate at last time!"
As soon as Ji Guoyuan took the money bag, he went there obediently like a child helping his parents.
Tomioka Giyuu looked at Mana.
Zhenna spread her hands: "The reincarnated body of the dirty soil doesn't need to eat. It will be super convenient to take him to run errands, right? Okay, let's go eat noodles!"
Tomioka Giyuu really wants to say, don’t you have any respect for the legendary swordsman who started breathing?
...But there seems to be no need to ask this question. Looking at Mana's smooth way of using Enichi Tsukuni and Enichi Tsukuni's reaction as if he has accepted his fate, you can tell whether it is true or not.
When Mana and Tomioka Giyuu each served a bowl of steaming udon noodles, Tsukikuni Enichi also happened to come back.
One portion of takoyaki, two portions of three-color meatballs, and even an extra portion of jinpei candy.
Jin Pingtang made Mana smile and roll her eyes: "Thank you very much, Yui Yi-senpai!"
Tomioka Giyuu looked at Mana's smile and thought that the next time he went out to do a mission, he could bring some desserts from various places to Mana. She looked like she liked it.
But soon I felt lost again.
Mana probably doesn't need his help to bring these things, right?The Flying Thunder God Technique is much faster than his speed.
but……
Rather than simply saying 'thank you', he also wanted to do something for Mana to make her happy.
Just as Tomioka Giyuu was thinking this, Mana and Tsukuni Enichi suddenly changed their expressions.
"Mr. Tomioka, I met an old friend."
Giyu Tomioka raised his head and saw two 'little girls' wearing exquisite kimonos looking over on the other side of the street.
"That is--"
One of the girls has six eyes, and the familiar words of Giyu Tomioka are engraved in the eyes.
One of the top strings, Black Death Mou!
"How did he become like this?"
Zhenna spread his hands: "Who knows? The one next to him is Wuhan. I saw him like this last time. He also turned the other Twelve Ghost Moons into children. I really don't know what he is thinking."
But no matter what Muzan was thinking, at least Mana and Tomioka Giyuu were sure that this was definitely not a place suitable for fighting.
Mana glanced at Muzan, stood up and walked out to the secluded alley.
Until Mana stopped, soon after, Muzan and Black Death Mou also appeared.
Ji Guoyuan looked at Hei Sheimou with complicated emotions on his face.
Hei Shimo looked at Jiguo Yuanyi and seemed to have the same expression.
"How sad, brother."
"How ridiculous, Yui Yi."
Wuxian: "——?!!!"
Wait, Hei Shimo, what are you talking about? !
"Jiguo Yuanyi?!"
Before Hei Shimo could answer, Ji Guoyuan met Wu's eyes: "It's me, Wu'er."
Wuxian almost exploded himself again.
But fortunately, he still remembered that Mana was present at this time.
Muzan looked at Mana sharply: "Wait! I have something to say!"
Mana looked at Hei Shimo carefully and then asked: "What do you want to say?"
Wuhan said: "About my last proposal..."
"Your last proposal is absolutely impossible!"
Zhenna said: "How about we have a fight, it's just a pity..."
"What a pity?"
Zhenna pointed at Hei Shimo and said, "I still prefer his original appearance."
Hei Shimo's body has become smaller, and in order to facilitate fighting, the knife has naturally become smaller as well.
Zhenna thinks it’s not worth it.
However, Wuhan's eyes lit up when he heard these words!
"You should have told me if you like him the way he is!"
Black Death Mou was transformed back into his adult form with a bang.
At the same time, a sliding door appeared behind Wu Kai, and Wu Kai opened the door, entered and closed it in one go.
"I'll give it to you if you like it!"
"If you want more, just consider my last proposal, Uchiha Mana!"
Snapped!
The sliding door disappears.
The night wind blew by, and at this moment, Hei Shimo's figure standing with a knife looked particularly bleak and desolate.
Mana is packing her things.
Because the research laboratory will also need to be used by Miss Tamashii in the future. Of course, there are some experiments that Ms. Tamashii has already done, and Mana does not need to do them again.
Before Miss Tamashi comes, Mana plans to rearrange the research room.
Experiments on ghosts can be done by Miss Tamashii, but some experiments on chakra, such as the cultivation of sacrifices, still require Mana to do it herself.
Because of the participation of Ms. Tamashii, Ubuya Shiki Yaoya was able to save some money, and some of the equipment that was originally needed did not need to be purchased for the time being.
After Mana finished cleaning up the laboratory, he also made a list for Uyashiki Yoshiya and checked off some less urgent equipment.
When he got Mana's form, Ubuyashiki Yoshiya was a little excited: "It's really great..."
"Teacher Yoya?"
Ubuyashiki Yaoya said: "It is true that scientific research equipment is too expensive. Even according to the news from the United States, the price we gave is difficult to negotiate, but it should be much better now."
Ubuyashiki Yaoya didn't know that scientific research cost so much.
Over the years, the Demon Slayer Corps has not had any particularly outstanding research talents. The Butterfly Ninja is more interested in medicine and poison than research. Although Ubuyashiki Yōya was a little frightened by Mana's price before, he felt that it was still negotiable.
As a result, after sending people to contact relevant foreign institutions, they discovered that the reference price given by Chen Nai was really the bottom line price. It is not unusually difficult to buy everything at this price.
Even with Ubuyashiki Yōya's training, he couldn't help but murmur in his heart, no wonder Mana insisted that he contact people in the United States.
At the price Jinna offered, the United Kingdom and other countries would not even bother to take a look at it. Only the emerging United States, which is now eager to open up the market and want to do business with the world, is willing to say "we can talk about it again." will.
Of course, from this point, Ubuyashiki Yaoya also saw that the international situation did have an impact on the Demon Slayer Corps.
In the past, the Demon Slayer Corps felt that the changes in the world were far away from them and had nothing to do with killing evil spirits. But now it seems that the Demon Slayer Corps really needs to know more about the world.
Mana looked at the slightly relaxed expression on Uyashiki Yoya's face, and said hesitantly: "Um... Teacher Yoya, you have the advantage of relaxing too early."
Ubuyashiki Yoshiya: "...?"
An ominous premonition suddenly arose in his heart.
Mana said: "It's about the machine gun tested this time. I think we have entered into a misunderstanding before. As far as the power of shooting is concerned, machine guns are indeed far superior to ordinary guns, and are even enough to beat people into sieves in an instant. This time The results of the test seemed good, but there was another problem.”
Mana raised a finger: "Because of the powerful force of shooting, most of the time machine gun bullets cannot effectively stay in the body. Ghost bodies are indeed stronger than ordinary people, but when facing special bullets, this advantage does not exist." In other words, most bullets cause penetrating damage when they hit ghosts."
Ghosts and humans are completely different. Even if a hole is blown in a ghost's body, the ghost won't care. With the ghost's resilience, it can grow back quickly, but if a human is covered in holes, he will definitely die. Lost.
"So we need guns and bullets with less penetrating power. At the same time, we need bullets that can stay in the body as much as possible after being injected into the body and release the wisteria flower poison in them. I looked at the current types of guns and bullets and thought It is difficult to find one that meets the conditions, which means that we need to specially develop a gun and matching bullets specifically for ghosts."
Ubuyashiki Yoshiya said: "Since you mentioned it to me, you must have already had an idea, right?"
Mana said: "Relying on the power of the Demon Slayer Squad, we can't afford a research and development team for guns, let alone a production line. That would be equivalent to building our own arsenal. I don't think the government will tolerate this kind of thing." Of course, from a practical point of view, we don’t have to do that. For this kind of thing that does not involve ghosts, we only need to make a request and then entrust foreign companies to conduct research and development, and we can give up many rights and interests. Because in the end we only need to be able to get the finished product, and nothing else matters. I think the Demon Slayer Corps has no intention of switching to arms dealers. After completion, it will also be entrusted to those arms companies to manufacture it, and we will spend money to buy the finished product."
After all, their purpose is to kill Wuhan, and there is no need to consider the 'future' at all.
Ubuyashiki Yaoya felt his head hurt when he heard this: "But this also requires a lot of funds. In addition, if you want to open up relationships with the government, I'm afraid it will also cost a lot of money..."
Mana said: "Let the Americans handle the government's relations, even if it's after-sales service. Besides, it's easier for the Americans to handle it than it is for us to do it ourselves."
The most important thing is that if the superiors discover that there may be Americans behind the Demon Slayer Corps, this will certainly make them guard against the Demon Slayer Corps, but it will also try to make some things as convenient as possible for the Demon Slayer Corps.
This requires exquisite timing and propriety.
This job sounds difficult, but once it is completed, it will indeed provide a huge boost to the Demon Slayer Squad.
"The Demon Slayer Corps doesn't need to consider its future development. As long as we kill Muzan, we can disband on the spot, right?"
Because there is no need to consider the future, in terms of behavior, sometimes one can be more 'reckless'.
Ubuyashiki Yōya said: "I will consider this, but...Mana, our problem now is that we really don't have any extra funds."
When fighting with only the Nichirin Sword, Ubuyashiki Yōya felt that the Demon Slayer Corps was quite wealthy and had no financial worries at all. However, once scientific research, thermal weapons, etc. were involved, the Demon Slayer Corps' finances were immediately stretched.
Mana: "...Then find a way to make money."
Ubuyashiki Yoshiya was stunned: "But the current Demon Slayer Industry..."
"I'm not talking about what the Demon Slayers currently have," Mana said: "I have also understood the economy of the Demon Slayers. I feel that the Demon Slayers have no creativity at all. With the capabilities of the Isanyashiki clan, they can be more bold. A little bit?"
Ubuyashiki Yōya always felt that Mana was going to say something shocking again.
Mana did live up to his expectations.
"Do the Uyashiki clan have some ability to predict the future? I don't know much about the economy of this world, but why don't you hire someone who does? I think this ability can fall into the hands of anyone on Wall Street , enough to multiply your wealth several times within a year.”
Mana looked at Uyashiki Yoshiya: "Or maybe the Uyashiki clan's precognitive ability is actually just a vague perception and cannot understand the detailed situation?"
Uyashiki Yoshiya said: "The precognition ability of the Uyashiki clan is not controlled by ourselves. Our ability is more like an intuition, but... even I can't subjectively control myself at a certain time. What do you feel about specific things? From experience, the ability of the Ubuyashiki clan to foresee will be effective in important matters that are closely related to them. The Demon Slayer Corps has been on the verge of extinction several times in its history, and this is also true. It is this kind of intuition at critical moments that allows the Demon Slayer Squad to be preserved."
Mana nodded: "I see, that means there is no hope of making a fortune on Wall Street."
If there is any country in the world that Jinna is very optimistic about about its future development, it must be the United States.
Although Britain and France were the victors in World War I, from all indications, they already gave people a feeling that the sun was setting on the horizon. On the contrary, the United States had the right time, just like the rising sun, and had a lot to do.
...Actually, if the Demon Slayer Corps' power was not too small internationally, Mana felt that it would be most cost-effective to go to Germany to make a fortune at this time.
As a defeated country in World War I, Germany is facing a huge crisis at this time, but Germany was once strong. It's not like Jane wants to buy something as sensitive as aircraft and warships, just some scientific research equipment. The prices in Germany may be more affordable than in the United States.
Of course, there is no need to consider Germany's problems now.
Mana thought for a while and said to Uyashiki Yōya: "Then we have to use our strengths."
What are the specialties of the Demon Slayer Squad?
Kill ghosts?
You can't let the team members perform on the streets, right?
But other than these, even Ubuyashiki Yoshiya couldn't think of anything else they were particularly good at.
Mana smiled: "I have been to many cities recently. Teacher Yaoya wouldn't think that I was just there for fun, right? I have carefully inspected the situation in the city."
"The specialty of the Demon Slayer Corps, in addition to killing ghosts, is also growing wisteria flowers! Even if the environment of Fujisei Mountain is indeed very suitable for the growth of wisteria flowers, on the other hand, the cultivation of the Demon Slayer Corps also plays an indispensable role, right? ?Then why not develop some Wisteria peripheral products?”
In fact, the Demon Slayer Squad has not researched anything except wisteria flower poison.
Moreover, Wisteria flower poison was specially developed by Butterfly Ninja to make up for his lack of strength.
Can you imagine?
Knowing that ghosts hate wisteria flowers, and that a large number of wisteria flowers can restrain ghosts to a certain extent, the Demon Slayer Squad has never thought of doing anything with wisteria flowers for thousands of years.
Even if I didn't expect it before, with the butterfly ninja using poison to kill demons, and even after becoming an insect pillar with it, the demon slayer team still didn't do anything. This is unscientific no matter how you think about it!
"At this point, I think the Demon Slayer Corps is just a joke. Of course, we are not discussing this issue today," Mana said: "I mean, refining wisteria flower poison requires a large amount of wisteria flowers, and Except for the part where the toxin is extracted from these wisteria flowers, almost all the rest is wasted. If we want to use wisteria poison bullets in the future, then the output of wisteria poison must be increased. From this, there is a problem. Where do so many wisteria flowers come from, and...after extracting the wisteria flower poison, will all those wisteria flowers be wasted?"
Ubuyashiki Yoya asked: "Do you want to sell these wisteria flowers? No... are you doing other processing?"
Mana said: "I brought a gift to Tianyin from Tokyo this time. Didn't Teacher Yaoya see it?"
Ubuyashiki Yōya said: "Speaking of this, I would also like to thank you. She mentioned it to me and seemed to like it very much, but I didn't ask in detail what it was."
Mana sighed: "Teacher Yoya, I feel like I have to repeat what I have said many times, open your eyes and see the world!"
"The gifts I brought to Tianyin's wife are two perfumes that are very popular in Tokyo. There is also an essential oil that is said to be very popular among wealthy women. Lipstick is also a popular color abroad. It is said that many ladies and wives are here. In addition, there are other skin care products and cosmetics. This is not important, so I won’t go into details. I just thought that since we need a lot of wisteria flowers, we should get some wisteria flower perfume. Wisteria Flower essential oils, for the general public, you can also make some wisteria soap. The smell of wisteria should be a more acceptable fragrance for humans, so why not make it?"
Mana is still very motivated when talking about her idea: "If the street is filled with the fragrance of wisteria flowers all day long, it will be difficult for ghosts to deal with, right?"
Ubuyashiki Yoshiya said: "This... is indeed an idea that can be considered."
Mana said: "How can it be so simple! As I mentioned before, where are the Demon Slayers going to get so many wisteria flowers? It's not enough to just rely on vines to attack the mountains, and if you want to produce something, you have to have something. Factories, we can’t locate all factories in Fujisei Mountain. My idea is to plant wisteria flowers near the city. The wisteria flowers of Demon Slayer are particularly good. I have never seen them anywhere else. With the wisteria growing so well, the Demon Slayers can definitely teach the locals how to grow wisteria."
Ubuyashiki Yoshiya said: "Of course there is no problem with this. If they are willing to learn, it would also be a good thing for more people to plant wisteria."
Although the wisteria outside Fujisei Mountain may not be able to bloom all year round, with the Demon Slayer's technology, it is still very easy to extend the flowering period. Even if it only blooms for one more month, it will make people safer for one month. Don't worry about ghost attacks.
Mana looked at the look on Uyashiki Yoya's face and covered her face silently: "Teacher Yoya, you are such a good person..."
Compared with Ubuyashiki Yoya's idea of purely considering others, Mana felt that her heart was a little dirty.
"I originally thought that wisteria flowers are quite beautiful, especially when planted in large areas. In addition, wisteria is also a type that is easier to shape than other plants. Therefore, while planting wisteria flowers, we can also develop tourism. For vacations and other things, if the transportation between it and the city is convenient, it can attract many people from the city to come and have fun in their free time.”
Ubuyashiki Yōya said: "This is also a very good idea, Mana, you think very well, don't show such an expression."
"No, please don't comfort me yet," Zhenna said: "What I think about is that people who can live in big cities and have money to go out for leisure and entertainment must have either money or power, or both, and they can use this Take the opportunity to make friends with them. In addition, teach the people to grow wisteria flowers and purchase them from them. This will definitely increase their income. When the people have more income, their consumption will naturally increase, and the government will receive more tax revenue. In addition, when we build factories and sell products, we also have to pay taxes, which means that when we face the government, our economic contribution will be our confidence to a certain extent."
This brings us back to the original topic.
If the Demon Slayer Corps wants to possess guns, it certainly doesn't mean they can just buy weapons and equip them. They must reach a tacit understanding with the government to a certain extent.
This government is not just about the central government. In fact, the acquiescence and connivance of local governments is more important.
Which local governor doesn’t want tax revenue to increase in his or her region?
With the financial confidence and the "foreign friends" in contact, Mana felt that as long as the Demon Slayer Corps didn't go too far, it was completely acceptable to have a few guns in hand.
Yasuoya Shiki: "..."
Okay, he really didn't think about this before.
but……
"The Uyashiki clan does have some connections over the years, and we can ask them to help when the time comes."
Zhenna nodded immediately: "Of course this is the best. Collusion between government and businessmen makes money."
Ubuyashiki Yaoya feels that this is not just about making money.
But he really had no reason to object.
At present, the Demon Slayer's industry is indeed enough for them to have enough food and clothing. If they don't consider the issue of thermal weapons, they even have a little money left.
But from another perspective, the number of people in these industries is also close to saturation.
So, after killing Muzan, where will the low-level members of the Demon Slayer Corps go?
The strength that Mana values is only the level of the pillars. Even among the pillars, she will not accept everyone, let alone other ordinary team members.
The future of these team members is something Uyashiki Yoshiya must consider.
If the Demon Slayer Corps has more new industries, then these team members can be assigned to factories.
These days, going to a factory is not a bad way out.
If we take into account that today’s education is not yet universal and the literacy rate of ordinary people is not high, and the members of the Demon Slayer Corps have at least reached the level where they can read and write on a daily basis, then these members will undergo some training in the future and work in factories. The management staff in the company are also completely fine.
This coincides with Mana's proposal to build a school and ask the team members to study more and study more.
Ubuyashiki Yōya couldn't help but wonder if Mana had planned all this from the beginning?
Otherwise, why would you have no scruples when you spend money in the first place?
Every proposal she made was tempting, and Uyashiki Yōya followed her ideas step by step.
Can……
Looking at Mana's childish face, Uyashiki Yōya felt that he might have thought too much.
Mana blinked and called out in confusion: "Yoya-sensei?"
Ubuyashiki Yoya shook his head: "It's nothing, it's just...when did you start planning these?"
Mana thought for a while: "From the beginning, I read a lot of books, and I felt that Demon Slayer Squad was a bit too traditional. It was so traditional that it was a shame for this wonderful era. However, there were many ideas at that time that were just ideas and not Mature, so I didn’t talk about it.”
Ubuyashiki Yōya said: "So, I really should read more books."
He used to just help Zhenna collect books and information and then pass them on to her. He didn't pay much attention to the content of those things.
Now it seems that it is indeed necessary to take a closer look.
As the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, we can't rely entirely on Mana to find a way out for the Demon Slayer Corps. Then he would be derelict in his duties as the leader.
Mana happily agreed to share the books she had read with Ubuyashiki Yōya: "Many books are very interesting. It would be a big loss if you don't read them!"
Ubuyashiki Yoya looked helpless: "I will take a good look."
However, he doesn't know any shadow clone and body techniques, so I'm afraid his reading efficiency is not as high as Mana's.
After Mana returned, she packed up her books and had them sent to Ubuyashiki Yōya.
The person delivering the book had just left the house when Tomioka Giyuu walked in: "Mana, are you looking for me?"
Mana said: "I have something I would like to ask Mr. Tomioka for help with."
Before, Mana cleared out a lot of ghosts in the old examination room for the final selection in Fujisei Mountain. She thought it would be too wasteful to kill them casually, so she circled them all in another place as experimental materials. However, with the addition of Miss Tamashii, she , those ordinary ghosts have completely lost their value.
"I thought, it's better to let them all go. It's safer to kill them. But even if they are to be killed, they can still use their remaining heat. Didn't the breeders come with their disciples? Just kill them. This should be the first practical exercise after the start of school. However, we do not expect those children to be able to kill ghosts. We just want them to experience the feeling of fighting ghosts. Mr. Tomioka can also take this opportunity to teach them some practical experience. ."
Tomioka Giyu thought for a while: "I still have special training courses to complete."
Mana waved his hand: "Don't worry, those ghosts are not very strong. Mr. Tomioka will definitely solve them quickly. Moreover, the next special training course will be explained by senior Yuan Yi on spots and the transparent world. Why? There must be a practical demonstration of this, the new sacrifice for him has not grown yet, Mr. Tomioka, you have enough time to kill the ghost."
In this case, Tomioka Yoshiyuki certainly would not refuse.
Then that night, Mana asked Tomioka Giyu to take some powerful students to kill ghosts, along with several trainers responsible for protecting the safety of the students.
As a result, less than two hours later, Mana met Tomioka Giyu again.
Tomioka Giyuu looked a little pale and looked anxious.
Tomioka Giyu, who practices water breathing, has always remained calm, almost as if his heart is still water. This is the first time Mana has seen him show such a pale and fragile expression.
"Mr. Tomioka?"
Mana thought he was accidentally injured, so she pressed him on the chair and quickly checked him, only to find that Tomioka Giyuu was very healthy physically, but mentally unhealthy.
The Uchiha clan is good at illusions, and their perception of the spiritual world is naturally keener than ordinary people. Mana is also good at medical ninjutsu and has great experience in treating injuries caused by illusions.
Tomioka Giyuu didn't look like he was harmed by the genjutsu, but his mental state was no better than those who were affected by the genjutsu.
"Mr. Tomioka? What happened?"
While using the method of treating illusion damage to help Tomioka Giyu stabilize his emotions, Mana asked softly: "What happened?"
For a master of illusion, sound, movement, touch, smell, any perception can become a medium for illusion.
Mana used the illusion technique at this time, but it was not an offensive illusion.
Tomioka Giyu's eyes flickered: "I... saw him."
"he?"
"It's the ghost who killed Qiang Rabbit."
When the Kamado brothers and sisters left Mt. Saagiri, Mr. Nintaki personally made disaster relief masks for Tanjiro and Nezuko.
After knowing that he was going to die, the ghost recognized the mask Tanjiro was wearing and told him that he had eaten all the disciples of Mr. Nintaki over the past few decades.
He also mentioned that he had met a very powerful guy many years ago. Of course, that guy was also eaten by him in the end.
The ghost even recognized Tomioka Giyu's clothes.
The haori that Tomioka Giyuu wears outside the Demon Slayer uniform all year round has two completely different patterns, half of which are from his friend Qiu Usagi who died to protect others in the final selection many years ago.
The death of Chiu Usagi has been a knot in Tomioka's mind for many years. He never expected that he would see the ghost who killed Chiu Usagi today.
After the ghost discovered that Tomioka Giyuu cared about Qiu Rabbit, he even deliberately told the details of the process of eating Qiu Rabbit to stimulate Tomioka Giyuu.
It seemed that seeing Tomioka Giyu's painful expression could bring him great relief.
Tomioka Giyu, who was in pain, killed the ghost like a catharsis.
Perhaps for those children who have not passed the final selection, the demon is very powerful, but Tomioka Giyuu is the pillar, the pinnacle of strength in the Demon Slayer Team.
He killed the ghost easily.
But it was precisely because of this ease that he couldn't accept it even more.
It was such a ghost that killed Qiang Rabbit. Even a useless person like him could easily kill this ghost now. So what about Qiang Rabbit?
No, if Qiang Rabbit didn't work hard to save others, resulting in frequent battles that consumed a lot of physical strength and damaged the Nichirin Sword, killing this ghost would not be impossible for Qiang Rabbit.
During that selection, Chiu Rabbit saved Tomioka Giyu.
So Tomioka Giyu couldn't help but ask himself at this time.
If he had been stronger at that time, if he didn't need Qiantu's rescue, would Qiantu have a chance to survive from that ghost's hands?
Mana looked at Tomioka Giyu who shed tears as he spoke, and couldn't help but sigh: "Mr. Tomioka, although I may not be qualified to say anything about this, things have passed and people have to look forward. "
"You killed that ghost today. He will never be able to hurt anyone again, including the countless evil ghosts you have killed over the years and the countless lives you have saved. These all prove that your survival is not worthless. of."
Tomioka Giyu said: "But if it is Qiu Usagi, he can definitely do better. I clearly didn't kill even a ghost in the final selection..."
"As a ninja, it's hard for me to judge such behavior, but this is indeed the choice he made. In fact, I think Mr. Tomioka's friend is indeed a better member of the Demon Slayer Corps than anyone else. Even if he didn’t officially pass the final selection in the end.”
"But he is the one who understands the meaning of the Demon Slayer Corps better than anyone else."
"Protect everyone in sight from being harmed by evil spirits, pick up weapons, kill evil spirits, and save lives that should not be lost. He did it, and he did it well."
Perhaps Tomioka Giyuu was comforted by Mana's extremely high evaluation of Tsutomu. He did look much better, and his tone was slightly calmer: "Well, Tsutomu is very powerful."
Mana felt that Tomioka Giyuu at this time was like a child who was proud of "I have a super powerful friend": "Just like the countless ancestors who have sacrificed their lives to kill evil spirits over the past thousand years, Qiu Usagi also did it for this. He died for one purpose, so Mr. Tomioka, please don’t attribute the responsibility to you, because the living are not more humble than the dead, and the living are never useless.”
"Those who survive will take over the sword from their ancestors and wield it against the evil spirits again."
"Just like what is engraved on the sword, evil spirits will be destroyed."
"You are not a useless person holding Qiu Tu back. You are the inheritor of his will. You are on the same path as him, carrying his hope and going further."
"The death of Qiantu is not the end, but the beginning of a continuation."
"Mr. Tomioka, now you also have the power to save others."
Mana looked at Tomioka Giyu: "Would you like some water?"
Tomioka Giyu nodded slightly: "Thank you, Mana."
Mana smiled shyly: "This is actually what my teacher told me. Teacher Hashirama once said that our village is called Konoha Village and our shadow is called Naruto. This is not meaningless."
"He told me that where the leaves are flying, the fire will burn. The fire will illuminate the village, and new branches and leaves will sprout."
Tomioka Yoshiyuki said: "Your teacher must be a great person."
The clouds outside the window moved away quietly, and the bright moonlight once again filled the courtyard.
The wisteria blooming in the courtyard swayed slightly in the night wind, its petals falling gently, causing silent ripples on the water.
Mana's voice suddenly became full of energy when she mentioned Senju Hashirama: "That's right! Teacher Hashirama is awesome!"
So that night, neither Mana nor Tomioka Giyu planned to sleep. Mana even made tea, took out the melon seeds and peanuts, and one of them talked about Qiu Usagi, the other said Hashirama, and they just started chatting.
Halfway through the conversation, Mana suddenly asked: "Mr. Tomioka, are you hungry? Do you want to eat noodles? There is a restaurant in Tokyo where the noodles are particularly delicious this time!"
Tomioka Giyu couldn't help but glance at the moon: "At this time?"
Mana said: "Tokyo is a big city, and stores are open until very late. I have left several Flying Thunder God marks in Tokyo. Do you want to eat together?"
It wasn't until Mana took him with him to fly to Thor, and when the butterfly house was filled with lights one second and the next, Giyu Tomioka realized what was happening.
Then, just like countless times before, I felt in my heart that the Flying Thunder God technique was really convenient.
At the same time, he also looked at Mana's side: "Jigoku-senpai?"
Before Mana came, he took Enichi Tsukuni out of the coffin and took him with him.
Jiguoyuan nodded slightly to Tomioka Giyu: "Hello."
Mana pulled them and said: "Hurry up, hurry up, that store is very busy until night, let's go there quickly - ah, by the way, Yui Yi-senpai, I'll give you the money, please help me buy another octopus Burn it, and you also need two portions of three-color meatballs, the same one we ate at last time!"
As soon as Ji Guoyuan took the money bag, he went there obediently like a child helping his parents.
Tomioka Giyuu looked at Mana.
Zhenna spread her hands: "The reincarnated body of the dirty soil doesn't need to eat. It will be super convenient to take him to run errands, right? Okay, let's go eat noodles!"
Tomioka Giyuu really wants to say, don’t you have any respect for the legendary swordsman who started breathing?
...But there seems to be no need to ask this question. Looking at Mana's smooth way of using Enichi Tsukuni and Enichi Tsukuni's reaction as if he has accepted his fate, you can tell whether it is true or not.
When Mana and Tomioka Giyuu each served a bowl of steaming udon noodles, Tsukikuni Enichi also happened to come back.
One portion of takoyaki, two portions of three-color meatballs, and even an extra portion of jinpei candy.
Jin Pingtang made Mana smile and roll her eyes: "Thank you very much, Yui Yi-senpai!"
Tomioka Giyuu looked at Mana's smile and thought that the next time he went out to do a mission, he could bring some desserts from various places to Mana. She looked like she liked it.
But soon I felt lost again.
Mana probably doesn't need his help to bring these things, right?The Flying Thunder God Technique is much faster than his speed.
but……
Rather than simply saying 'thank you', he also wanted to do something for Mana to make her happy.
Just as Tomioka Giyuu was thinking this, Mana and Tsukuni Enichi suddenly changed their expressions.
"Mr. Tomioka, I met an old friend."
Giyu Tomioka raised his head and saw two 'little girls' wearing exquisite kimonos looking over on the other side of the street.
"That is--"
One of the girls has six eyes, and the familiar words of Giyu Tomioka are engraved in the eyes.
One of the top strings, Black Death Mou!
"How did he become like this?"
Zhenna spread his hands: "Who knows? The one next to him is Wuhan. I saw him like this last time. He also turned the other Twelve Ghost Moons into children. I really don't know what he is thinking."
But no matter what Muzan was thinking, at least Mana and Tomioka Giyuu were sure that this was definitely not a place suitable for fighting.
Mana glanced at Muzan, stood up and walked out to the secluded alley.
Until Mana stopped, soon after, Muzan and Black Death Mou also appeared.
Ji Guoyuan looked at Hei Sheimou with complicated emotions on his face.
Hei Shimo looked at Jiguo Yuanyi and seemed to have the same expression.
"How sad, brother."
"How ridiculous, Yui Yi."
Wuxian: "——?!!!"
Wait, Hei Shimo, what are you talking about? !
"Jiguo Yuanyi?!"
Before Hei Shimo could answer, Ji Guoyuan met Wu's eyes: "It's me, Wu'er."
Wuxian almost exploded himself again.
But fortunately, he still remembered that Mana was present at this time.
Muzan looked at Mana sharply: "Wait! I have something to say!"
Mana looked at Hei Shimo carefully and then asked: "What do you want to say?"
Wuhan said: "About my last proposal..."
"Your last proposal is absolutely impossible!"
Zhenna said: "How about we have a fight, it's just a pity..."
"What a pity?"
Zhenna pointed at Hei Shimo and said, "I still prefer his original appearance."
Hei Shimo's body has become smaller, and in order to facilitate fighting, the knife has naturally become smaller as well.
Zhenna thinks it’s not worth it.
However, Wuhan's eyes lit up when he heard these words!
"You should have told me if you like him the way he is!"
Black Death Mou was transformed back into his adult form with a bang.
At the same time, a sliding door appeared behind Wu Kai, and Wu Kai opened the door, entered and closed it in one go.
"I'll give it to you if you like it!"
"If you want more, just consider my last proposal, Uchiha Mana!"
Snapped!
The sliding door disappears.
The night wind blew by, and at this moment, Hei Shimo's figure standing with a knife looked particularly bleak and desolate.
