Why is the Demon King like this?

Chapter 45: Slight Network Delay

After a pleasant Monday, I took a shower when I got home, filled Xiaoxue's cat food and fish fillets, and checked her hind legs.

Having acquired a spirit that could be squandered, Aokiji had already given it one treatment.

"Try it one more time, and it should heal."

Aokiji summoned the protective charm and placed it in his palm.

A dim light appeared, and the moonlight outside the window poured in like a tide, gathering at the fingertips of Qing Guijie.

Meow~

Yuki's tail wagged rapidly, a mixture of unease and curiosity in her expression.

The icy power slowly seeped into its hind legs.

The spirituality is burning, and the gentle power within the protective amulet, under the control of Keisuke Ao, transforms into a miniature ritual to draw upon the power of the moonlight and unleash healing abilities.

"Indeed, the celestial bodies of this world also possess high-level symbolism in mysticism, and can be used to draw in high-level power."

He used a different approach than the previous treatment, and it was successful in the same way.

"But considering the world's worship of the sun and moon, it remains to be seen whether this power originates directly from space."

After treatment, Yuki was about to eat when her owner patted her bottom, signaling that she wasn't sick and should go for a walk.

"Meow?!"

The kitten turned its head in grief and indignation, climbed the cat tree three times before finally receiving permission to eat.

When it started eating dry rice, it suddenly came to its senses—hey, its back and legs no longer hurt, and it can hop around everywhere again!

During her recovery, Yuki could only look on longingly at the various exploration points in the mansion, forcibly suppressing her curiosity. Now that she has recovered, she can roam freely.

Getting excited!

Ignoring the kitten whose tail was wagging so fast it left a blurry shadow, Aokiji got up, put away the amulet, and washed his hands.

Logically speaking, he should take advantage of the protective amulet to hunt monsters and increase his spirituality.

But in reality...

As long as he has a protective charm, isn't it all the same to him?

Moreover, keeping these spiritual items around might come in handy in an emergency.

Exorcisms can be done only when you're in the mood.

After the sun went down, Aokiji moved a deck chair and a low table to the outside of the balcony and lay down to cool off.

I opened my phone's photo album, which contained a collection of photos of various clubs. Like a demon king choosing his concubines, I started selecting one by one.

He directly eliminated sports clubs such as basketball, soccer, and track and field, and also excluded some typical girls' clubs and tea clubs.

"Kendo Club?"

Keisuke Ao became somewhat interested.

He went directly to a video website to search for the forms of swordsmanship in this world, but after watching them... he lost interest.

It's supposed to be a swift sword, aiming for instantaneous release, but it's ended up with so many constraints.

Boring!

However, some of the discussions on Kenshin are quite interesting. When Keisuke Ao opened the channel of a kendo dojo master, according to the recommendation, it seemed to be the Menkyo Kaiden of the Sasuke Tenshin-ryu school, which pursues cultivating the mind through the sword.

"Hello everyone, this is Sasuke Yamaki."

A middle-aged man in a black dojo uniform appeared on camera: "Today we continue learning 'Sasuke Tenshin-ryu'!"

Before we begin, let me introduce the Sasuke Tenshin-ryu school to first-time viewers. It pursues a battle of minds between swordsmen, from confrontation to drawing the sword and fighting back. In essence, it is an extension of the practitioner's will.

Therefore, during the practice of Sasuke Tenshin-ryu, special emphasis is placed on cultivating willpower, concentration, and judgment.

So... what is Kendo?

The scene shifts to Sasuke Yamaki sitting quietly in the center of the dojo, a bamboo sword resting on his lap.

His voice came from off-screen: "In the highest level of understanding, the way of the sword is considered a kind of 'reason,' a rule that all things in the universe must abide by. Every sword is a practice of this reason."

And our hearts will gradually move closer to the ultimate truth during the process of cultivation.

Between stillness and movement, between life and death, aside from sword fighting competitions, Tenshin-ryu tends to require students to focus on understanding the gains from practice.

Thinking is an essential step in understanding Kendo.

Next comes the crucial step of facing an enemy: observing the opponent, anticipating their moves, mastering techniques, and devising a countermeasure in an instant to defeat them.

Next came the breakdown of basic sword techniques, and Ao Keisuke casually placed his phone on the low table to ponder the essence of Tenshin-ryu.

The unity of man, sword, and mind is actually the key to releasing magic, or rather, the technique of communicating with this world.

From another perspective—this can undoubtedly activate one's own spirituality.

Just like Yuto Nakagawa and Yamazaki, they all possess this kind of talent.

Belief and willpower are themselves forms of power!

"That's really good. These martial artists probably discovered a way to activate their own spirituality a long time ago, right?"

And so it has been passed down from generation to generation to the present day.

The humans in this world are undoubtedly different from those in Aokiji's original world—after all, they can even awaken their own spirituality.

This certainly means that the world is far more exaggerated and crazy than what you see on the internet.

"Want to check out the kendo club?"

Keisuke Ao tapped his fingers on the armrest, feeling that perhaps he could visit Kukai's kendo club first.

"Besides that...?"

Just as I was about to continue my research, a message popped up on Line from a female doctor who had been persistently adding me.

"The weather's so nice tonight, let's go exorcise a spirit!"

"reject."

"I'm having hamburger patties tomorrow!"

"Another serving of smashed cucumber, please."

"Have hamburger patties for tomorrow?"

"^^"

"..."

Chizuru Shiraishi was furious at the simple expression on her face, but there was nothing she could do. She would have to make the lunch boxes properly tomorrow.

After thinking for a moment, Qing Guijie agreed to let Shiraishi Chizuru bring her along next time.

Look—what was originally a one-time gain for spirituality has now become a win-win situation!

Win Windaze!

Without replying to Chizuru Shiraishi's question about when the next time would be, Keisuke Ao opened Rena Kobayashi's account and looked at her posts.

Last update was last week:

"At dinner, I spilled my saury. I hadn't even had a chance to take a bite before I could eat it all."

Looking at it, I suddenly burst into tears. How annoying!

I love eating saury so much!

"That reason... is understandable."

Keisuke Ao pressed the virtual keyboard and replied below:

"^^"

Are you alright?

"I'll take you to eat saury next time."

"what……"

Seeing the "weak network signal" message on the screen, Aokiji paused for a moment. The third sentence... seemed to have not been sent.

"But... they should have already delivered their condolences, right?"

"Um……"

Even though he's the Demon King, he's still powerless against data signals.

After waiting for about thirty seconds, the third message finally stopped spinning and was successfully sent.

But then, a dozen or so updates popped up simultaneously—all of them Kobayashi Rena's grief-stricken roars.

The dynamic bombardment only stopped abruptly when the third message was received.

As Kobayashi Rena looked at those words, her phone slipped from her hand, and she slowly rolled onto the bed, her two ponytails drooping down, her whole being losing its color.

it's over...

What did I just say to my senior?

Scumbag?

Damn it!!!

"Ding-dong..."

"Sorry, my internet connection was slow just now."

"But it doesn't seem very energetic, hehe^^"

"hateful!!!

Oh, it's the internet!

Although some misunderstandings occurred, it ultimately encouraged the girl (to some extent).

Demon King, today I have done a good deed, and it should be recorded.
