Chapter 31 Ah Ah

Late at night, in the swordsmith village.

Lin Mo was soaking in the hot spring alone. The hot air around him rose and turned into mist. Lin Mo took a breath and felt his body felt much more relaxed.

There is a bright moon hanging high in the night sky.

Lin Mo slowly closed his eyes and lay on his back on the rock behind him.

The hot springs in the Swordsmith Village are indeed unique. They contain a certain energy that has a body-hardening effect, but the effect is very weak. I'm afraid it would take years of soaking in them to see the effect.

Therefore, the Demon Slayer Corps only regards this as a place to recover from injuries.

Day two.

Lin Mo was having a meal in the cafeteria and chatting with the swordsmith from the Sword Forging Village nearby.

The knife maker said that the village chief was supposed to take Lin Mo to Xiao Tie's house to see the combat puppet, but now he couldn't come due to something urgent, so he had to lead the way.

As they were chatting, a gentle female voice slowly came from the door.

"Good morning everyone."

Shinobu Kocho walked towards this side from a distance. She had changed back into the Demon Slayer Corps uniform, with a signature smile on her face. Her purple eyes were slightly curved like a crescent moon, and she spoke in a kind tone.

"You guys seem to be having a great time chatting, is there anything interesting going on?"

Shinobu Kocho naturally sat down next to Lin Mo.

"Can you tell me about it too?"

The swordsmith from the Swordsmith Village jumped up from his seat immediately after seeing Shinobu Kocho, as if there were nails in the chair. He didn't even dare to look at Shinobu Kocho. He hurriedly apologized to Lin Mo and ran away like the wind.

"Hey, what's wrong with Mr. Tiehong? Is there something urgent?" Shinobu Kocho blinked her innocent big eyes and said seriously.

Judging from Tiehong's expression, Shinobu Kocho didn't really make the old village chief swallow a thousand needles last night.

Lin Mo thought to himself, this crazy woman in front of him could really do it.

"I heard that Mr. Mo came to the Swordsmith Village not to forge swords, but to meet that combat puppet?" Shinobu Kocho said.

Lin Mo nodded, stuffed a piece of steak into his mouth, and said, "Where's Miss Butterfly?"

"I'm here to sharpen my Nichirin sword. Although Mr. Tiezhen seems to be a slacker, he's probably the only one in the entire swordsmith village who can forge my special Nichirin sword." Shinobu Kocho replied, as if what happened last night had never happened.

Generally, after developing their own unique breathing techniques, Demon Slayers would head to the Swordsmith Village to forge their own Nichirin. Kanroji Mitsuri's Nichirin initially had a perfectly normal Nichirin. However, once she mastered the Breathing of Love through the Breathing of Flame, her Nichirin couldn't keep up with her pace. This is why she came to the Swordsmith Village to craft a retractable Nichirin, a blade as flexible as a whip yet possessing immense strength.

That's why Shinobu Kocho thought that Lin Mo also came to reforge the sword. She had seen Lin Mo's strength with her own eyes at the Pillar Combination Conference. He was stronger than her, not weaker. It was not surprising that such a person created his own breathing method.

Shinobu Kocho had seen that combat puppet before.

At that time, it was still used as a training tool for the Demon Slayer Corps' strong men.

Very strong, but that's all.

Shinobu Kocho didn't see anything special about the combat puppet, so she became more and more curious about why Lin Mo came to the Swordsmith Village specifically to find it.

"It'll take a few days to sharpen my knife. Anyway, I have nothing better to do. I'll go with you, Mr. Mo, later. I'm very familiar with the village." Shinobu Kocho looked at Lin Mo and smiled. The little boy in front of Lin Mo, wearing a small fire man mask and a red short shirt, was Xiao Tie, the descendant of the man who created the Yuichi-0 battle puppet.

Originally, Lin Mo thought he would have to spend some time talking.

After all, in the original novel, the little boy loved the soon-to-be-dead Eiichiro Type 0 combat puppet very much, treating it as a family heirloom and refusing to hand over the key to unlock it. In the end, Muichiro managed to get the key by force, and only then was he able to restart the combat puppet.

This is also the reason why Lin Mo went to find the village chief of the Sword Forging Village as soon as he arrived, thinking that he could directly go through the villagers to avoid all these troubles.

Now that the village representative has been scared away by Shinobu Kocho, Lin Mo originally thought that the situation was going to come to a standstill.

But when Xiao Tie saw Shinobu Kocho from afar, he ran towards this side with his short legs, stepping on his wooden clogs.

"Ms. Butterfly!"

"Xiao Tie!"

Shinobu Kocho squatted down and hugged the boy who ran over: "Long time no see."

Looking at this scene, Lin Mo couldn't help but think of the conversation between the two in the village cafeteria before. It turned out that what Shinobu Kocho said, "She is very familiar with the village," was true.

Xiao Tie happily welcomed Lin Mo and the others in.

Afterwards, Xiao Tie pulled Shinobu Kocho and kept asking her about various things outside the village.

Shinobu Kocho was smiling and telling Xiaotie about the interesting things she had encountered, and Xiaotie would exclaim "Ah hey" from time to time.

Looking at the Kocho Shinobu in front of him, Lin Mo found it hard to associate her with that vicious and sinister older sister.

However, it can be seen from the Butterfly House run by Shinobu Kocho that Shinobu Kocho has always loved the girls in the Butterfly House like her own sisters, and she is a warm person at heart.

Shinobu Kocho chatted for a while before telling them the purpose of their visit and also informed them of the village's intentions.

Xiao Tie turned to look at Lin Mo and said, "What you're about to see is a mechanical puppet made by my ancestors. It can perform 108 movements. Because it has power beyond that of humans, it has been used for combat training. But now it's very old and about to break down."

"But since it's what Miss Butterfly and the village chief wanted, I can activate it and show you. But you have to be careful."

Xiao Tie paused and said, "Both you and the battle puppet."

As he spoke, Xiao Tie took Lin Mo and the others to their warehouse and moved out the dusty Yuan 10-type puppet.

Lin Mo looked up and saw a girl with a dark red high ponytail, wearing a red haori and black long hakama. On her shoulders were shoulder armor with a strong Warring States style, and even her earlobes were adorned with the iconic Hanafuda earrings.

If it weren't for those strange six arms and that half-broken face.

The mechanical puppet in front of him was basically no different from Yoriichi Tsugikuni.

Xiao Tie stroked the puppet's cheek with his small hand and said with some concern, "Fortunately, only some of the paint on the body has been damaged. The internal structure has not been damaged. It should be able to operate normally."

"Let's go to the forest outside." Lin Mo said.

While demonstrating in this house, Lin Mo was really afraid that the house would be demolished.

You have to know that this combat puppet is actually very powerful. Tanjiro, who just joined the swordsmith village, was no match for it at the beginning.
