The journey of dragon transformation starting from Demon Slayer

Although the statement is a bit exaggerated, Joan of Arc does have such feelings and thoughts.

"Is it the person who possesses the Mystic Eyes? He looks amazing, and he didn't cause any commotion..."

"The people around me don't have any signs of magic being cast on them. Is it because of my aura?"

"It's a little bit concerning..."

Joan of Arc inadvertently paid more attention to this mysterious man, even though she could only see his back from this position.

"Hi! Hi! Customer! Here are the strawberry cookies, coffee, cream cake, and a full sundae you ordered... Enjoy your meal!"

"Oh, oh...thank you..."

Jeanne came to her senses and thanked the shop assistant.

Seeing that Jeanne looked fascinated, the salesgirl gave her an expression that said "I understand", then leaned over and spoke to her in a low voice.

"Guest, I see you seem to have been observing the guest at the next table... Do you think the guy is handsome too?"

"Eh?!"

Joan of Arc was slightly stunned, blinked in disbelief, and then a blush appeared on her fair cheeks.

Noticing Jeanne's surprised look, the shop assistant smiled sweetly back at her.

"It may be rude to say this, but if you want the gentleman's contact information, please let me know..."

"I can help~☆!"

To be honest, the saleslady actually had some personal ideas of her own. However, she was aware of her appearance and knew that it was basically impossible to get the phone number directly, so she might as well try a roundabout way to save the situation.

If it's the blonde woman in front of me, it's almost certain that I'll be able to strike up a conversation with her.

Her temperament is as clear as a pond, and her beauty is so pitiful that I feel pity for her.

Even though she was a woman, the salesgirl was still deeply impressed by her.

No matter how impressed I am, human beings are ultimately very realistic creatures.

Life is precious, freedom is even more valuable.

If it's for the handsome guy, both can be thrown away.

Joan of Arc didn't know what the shop assistant was thinking, but she was able to sense that something was wrong with her, so she politely refused.

"Sorry, thank you for your kindness, I don't need such help..."

The salesgirl showed a look of disappointment, but it was fleeting.

"...All right."

The saleslady smiled and said, "Please enjoy your meal! I won't disturb you anymore!"

After saying that, the shop assistant turned and left Jeanne, and at the same time, Tatsumi's back appeared in front of Jeanne again.

Joan of Arc felt relieved when she saw this, and she did not reject this possessed feeling at all.

Yes, there is no need for her to reject it.

After all, who would resist enjoying the beautiful scenery?

Keeping calm, Joan of Arc turned her attention to the delicious food in front of her.

The sweet scent lingered around the girl's nose, making her eyes sparkle a little.

Picking up the slender iron spoon placed aside, Joan of Arc first scooped a spoonful of ice cream sundae, slowly opened her mouth, and put it into her mouth.

Ah——! Woo!

In an instant, the girl's pupils trembled, and she couldn't help but raise her other hand to hold her cheek, then relaxed the corners of her mouth happily.

"Mmm, good, so sweet!! I feel like I'm going to fall..."

After saying that, Joan of Arc scooped another spoonful into her mouth and began to savor the flavor.

Hearing Jeanne's sigh, Tatsumi did not look back, but his heart couldn't help but think of a very similar golden figure.

Yes, that was the Asia Agito-san who was taken in as a servant by Rias and regarded as her younger sister.

In some ways, they are quite similar.

"Ruler" Jeanne d'Arc...

I didn't expect to meet you in a place like this...

Tatsumi raised the corner of his mouth and quietly watched Sakura sitting next to him enjoying the food.

Seeing the girl's happy look, Tatsumi couldn't help but raise his hand and touch her little head.

Feeling the gentle caress from above her head, Sakura squinted her eyes comfortably, enjoying it like a little animal.

--------

There was no clichéd pick-up plot, nor any sudden conflict. After the two Heroic Spirits and a Master met, they left the dessert shop one after another.

They were like passers-by who passed each other and went on completely different paths.

Jeanne would never have thought that the Master of the Adventer would be a five-year-old girl. She also did not pay special attention to the Dragon Command Spell hidden under the girl's thin silk gloves.

If it were an ordinary heroic spirit, it would definitely not escape the eyes of the judge.

But if it was Tatsumi, it would be relatively easy to avoid Jeanne's detection.

The "Adventurer" job is not a job that can be matched by ordinary creatures, let alone an abnormal existence like Tatsumi.

He can not only reduce his own energy requirements, but also reduce the level of the Holy Grail's selection of masters.

Even though Sakura is only five years old, she can become a Master who commands Heroic Spirits with a little magic power.

As long as Zang Yan lives peacefully, their secret will not be known to anyone.

Of course, it doesn't matter even if Zouken takes the initiative to expose it, because then the one who will have a headache is Tōsaka Tokiomi, and this old man will have to stay aside.

The meeting with Joan of Arc was just a little spice in the dull life.

After leaving the dessert shop, Tatsumi and Sakura wandered around the Shinto city, spending almost the entire day eating, drinking and having fun.

While Tatsumi recorded the topography of Fuyuki City in his mind, he left a large number of space teleportation magic circles all over the new capital.

These things were just done incidentally; Tatsumi's original purpose was to accompany Sakura out to play.

Unfortunately, Sakura did not meet her sister and mother in "Fuyuki Central Park", so she felt a little depressed.

Although Tatsumi's comfort was effective, the little girl was most familiar with the family who raised her.

He sought shelter from his father, cried to his mother about the fears he faced, and told his sister about his loneliness.

Sakura's demands were not many, but fate played tricks on her...

But it doesn’t matter, there is still plenty of time, one or two days won’t matter.

At night, Tatsumi took Sakura to experience the joy of high-altitude flying over Fuyuki City, and even watched the huge moon up close.

Of course, Tatsumi did this without being discovered.

Because he can naturally enter the invisible state by cleverly reflecting the surrounding light and electromagnetic waves.

After playing in the sky for a while, Tatsumi brought Sakura back to the Matou residence on the hill.

Matou Tsuruno, who was about to go out to pick someone up, was startled by Tatsumi's sudden return, but then he fell into an emotion called shock.

--------

After three months of traveling for work, he felt extremely tired and exhausted.

Both the body and the mind have gone through tremendous hardships, but such efforts are just the "necessary sacrifice" to survive in this society.

You overdraw your time and energy, but in return you only get something called salary which can be consumed.

Having just finished the work at hand, Kariya boarded the train back home without hesitation.

What on earth made him so anxious?

Is it family? Or does he want to go home and recuperate his exhausted body and mind?

No, neither...

The reason is simple, it's just because the person he loves deeply lives in this city.

When arriving at the booming new capital, Kariya takes in the beautiful scenery of the city that is changing with each passing day.

After having a quick meal at a roadside restaurant, Kariya felt full, so he wiped his mouth, left the money on the table, and walked towards the bus stop on the roadside without looking back.

After standing in front of the platform and waiting for a few minutes, Yan Ye, who was waiting for the bus, was filled with excitement and boarded the bus with other passengers with brisk steps.

The vehicle started moving slowly. Kariya found an empty seat and sat down. He looked outside the vehicle and watched the scenery moving backwards.

Kariya's full name is "Matou Kariya". He is the head of the Matou family and the twin brother of Matou Tsuruno.

Although this is said, the current Matou Kariya no longer has any relationship with the Matou family.

His talent as a magician is much higher than that of his elder brother Tsuruno, and Zōken originally wanted him to inherit "Matou" and become the head of the family.

However, unexpectedly, eleven years ago, Kariya broke free from the shackles of family and blood, abandoned his responsibilities, and left the home that he hated and feared because he could not agree with the ugly insect magic of "Matou" and did not want to be his puppet.

In this way, Kariya has not returned to his home for ten years.

If it weren't for the fact that his beloved lived in Fuyuki City, making him nostalgic for this place, Kariya would never have come back no matter what.

His destination today is "Fuyuki Central Park", a park square designed for leisure and entertainment for the citizens of Fuyuki.

Kariya had been there many times.

He knew exactly which bus to take and what time to meet that person.

The speed at which time passed was unusually slow. Even when he was on business trips in the past, no matter how much time had passed, Kariya would feel that it was only a moment.

However, it was only at this moment that Kariya felt the most unbearable.

I want to see that person soon!

Faster, faster!

When he thought of the scene that was to follow, a bright smile appeared on Kariya's face.

Soon the bus stopped in front of the platform. Kariya got off from the door in the middle, then started walking towards his destination without stopping.

There was an eagerness and joy that could not be concealed in his footsteps. The surrounding flowers, plants and trees seemed to be celebrating for him, dancing in the gentle breeze.

As the flow of people around became more and more, when he saw the fountain in the center of the square, Kariya gradually slowed down his pace and stopped not far from the fountain.

Yanye raised his hands to straighten his clothes and took a deep breath to calm his fluctuating emotions and facial expression.

Breathe in, breathe out, breathe in, breathe out...

Kariya repeated this action. Even though he was surrounded by people, he did not feel any inconvenience.

What was important at the moment was to organize himself, and Kariya decided to appear in front of that person in as calm a manner as possible.

Even though now two people may not see each other once a month, their relationship is like strangers...

Soon, Kariya calmed down and walked past the fountain towards the depths of the square.

As the scenery in his field of vision gradually changed, Kariya immediately recognized the figure of the woman he was looking for.

She lost a lot of weight...

Even though he was just gazing from afar, such thoughts still occurred to Kariya.

Kariya raised the corner of his mouth and shook his head helplessly.

Yes, she is now the mother of two lovely girls.

Although children are not particularly naughty, there are definitely headaches in daily life.

A series of heartwarming scenes appeared in Yanye's mind, which immediately caused the corners of his mouth to curl up slightly.

Kariya came back to his senses and took in the surrounding scenery.

On a holiday afternoon, the warm and gentle sunshine shines on the green grass.

Children are running around here, while parents are sitting by with smiles on their faces, watching their children playing and laughing.

The woman that Kariya was paying attention to was sitting in the shadow of the pavilion, quietly holding the little daughter she had given birth to.

Kariya was delighted and quickened his pace, but then a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

As the perspective changed, Kariya finally saw it clearly!

"White hair? Is she a foreigner?"

"Why is that guy standing in front of Aoi?"

"etc..."

"There seems to be something wrong with Aoi!"

"Are you...crying?"

"Damn..."

Yanye gritted his teeth, cursed under his breath, clenched his fists, and ran over there without hesitation.

This was different from what Kariya had imagined. Their reunion wasn’t supposed to be like this!

As the distance gradually got closer, Kariya slowly confirmed the fact that the woman he loved was crying.

Seeing the figure that made Aoi cry getting closer and closer, Kariya could no longer suppress his anger. He shouted angrily, “You bastard! Get away from them!!”

Before he finished speaking, Kariya stretched out his hand, as if to pull the man away from Aoi.

however.

"Ahem..."

Sensing the strong wind coming from behind him, Tatsumi nimbly dodged to the side.

He dodged the opponent's pounce and grabbed the arm that stretched out from his side.

The next second, Tatsumi moved his feet slightly, like a machine, and performed a textbook-level grappling move on the spot.

All this happened in just a moment.

When Yan Ye came to his senses, he found that he had been subdued by the other party.

He couldn't help but cry out in pain, and successfully attracted the attention of Aoi and Sakura.

“Kareya?!!”

“Uncle Kariya?!!”

Aoi and Sakura looked at him in surprise and disbelief as he lay on the ground in a state of disgrace.

How is this going? ! !

In Yanye's thinking, he should stand up to them like a hero and drive away the bad guys in a cool manner.
