My fiancée Yukino

"..."

Luo Bai paused for a moment, then looked at Shinobu Kocho and said, "Aren't you still going to teach Yukino and the others?"

"It's okay, they haven't mastered it yet. Kanao and the others can guide them."

"I feel like you're after me."

"Oh, right~~"

Shinobu Kocho directly admitted it, leaving Luo Bai speechless.

Seeing Luo Bai's surprised expression, Shinobu Kocho squinted and said, "What? Back then, you were the one who rescued the damsel in distress, Luo-kun. Don't you think that such behavior won't increase the girl's favorability?"

Luo Bai scratched his head and said, "I believe what others say, but you're the Insect Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps, do you think this will work?"

"of course."

Although she was still smiling, Shinobu's tone gradually became serious, "You know, as you know, my sister Kanae was killed by Doma. Destroying demons and killing Doma has been my dream all these years. And your appearance, not only saved me, but also helped me defeat Doma directly. In Shinobu's eyes, your actions are a big plus!"

As she spoke, Shinobu Kocho even leaned in and kissed Luo Bai on the cheek.

"This is a belated thank you. As for anything else, let's talk about it after our relationship gets even better."

Before Luo Bai could react, Shinobu Kocho got up and ran towards Kanao.

However, through Shinobu's flowing hair, Luo Bai could see her red ears.

Luo Bai was quite surprised that Shinobu Kocho expressed her affection for him so directly.

After getting to know her over this period of time, Luo Bai realized that Shinobu Kocho was a very conservative woman, and even when it came to clothing, she would generally not wear anything that revealed too much skin.

Her Demon Slayer Corps uniform has always been very conservative, consisting of only pants and trousers, with no option for skirts.

Even now in modern society, she only chooses to wear long skirts.

It was Shinobu Kocho who had just expressed her affection for him, which must have surprised Luo Bai.

Luo Bai even suspected that these girls might have discussed something during the girls' gathering last night, which led to Shinobu Kocho's actions.

But let's take it slow from here on out.

Luo Bai did indeed like Shinobu Kocho. Although she was only a year older than him, she had the temperament of an older sister, mature and gentle while also having a touch of mischievousness.

More importantly, she has long, straight black hair, which is a plus.

After taking a deep breath, Luo Bai stood up. Instead of going over to practice together, he picked up a wooden sword from the shelf and walked out of the dojo to the courtyard.

Holding a booklet on the Breath of the Sun in one hand and a wooden sword in the other, a person began to demonstrate.

Inside the dojo, the girls were still practicing their basic breathing techniques, closing their eyes one by one and trying to find the feeling of breathing.

An hour later, Shinobu Kocho, who was reading a book, suddenly looked up and looked in Yukino's direction.

Although it was very faint, Shinobu could tell that Yukino's internal condition was slowly improving, and her whole body was starting to become more active.

Nodding, Shinobu Kocho praised, "Just as Luo-kun said, she is a genius. To be able to master the basics so quickly, it's true that her physical condition limited her development in the past. If Yukino hadn't had any health problems since childhood, she would probably have mastered the basics even faster today."

Sitting to the side, Kanzaki Aoi exclaimed in surprise, "Yukino-neechan is really amazing. Even the Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps are only about this fast, right?"

Shinobu Kocho nodded and said, "That's right. Yukino's talent is indeed top-notch. And unlike our world, without sufficient resources, even someone with great talent wouldn't be able to master the basics so quickly. First of all, it takes a lot of time to cultivate one's body. But in this world, as long as the economy isn't too bad, nutrition is relatively easy to maintain. There's a reason behind the saying 'the poor study literature, the rich study martial arts.'"

As she spoke, Yukino opened her eyes, her expression somewhat dazed.

"What I just did was..."

Shinobu Kocho put down her novel, stood up, and went to Yukino's side, saying, "Congratulations, Yukino! You've truly mastered the basics. How did it feel just now?"

After recalling for a moment, Yukino said, "My heart was racing, and I felt like every cell in my body was boiling. Although it only lasted a few seconds, it was definitely a very special experience."

Shinobu Kocho chuckled and said, "That's right, this is the breathing technique, but you only maintained it for a few seconds. You're still quite a distance from truly mastering it. Remember the feeling this time and keep practicing. Once you've mastered the basics, I can let you choose a breathing style. Yoriichi Tsugikuni created the Sun Breathing, which gave rise to five basic styles, as well as various subsequent branches. For example, I use the Insect Breathing, which is derived from the Flower Breathing, while Kanao uses the Flower Breathing that my sister mastered."

Yukino nodded, becoming even more attentive to practicing her breathing techniques.

Although it only lasted a few seconds, Yukino could feel that she was able to unleash a lot of physical strength at that moment.

Even without fighting, Yukino was determined to master this method of improving her physical abilities.

After stretching her body, Yukino turned to look around and noticed that her older sister Haruno, Mai-senpai, and Utaha were all still trying it out and were so engrossed that they didn't even notice what was happening on her side.

Where is Luo Bai?

Shinobu Kocho pointed outside and said, "He went out with a wooden sword. He mastered the basics an hour ago, and I also taught him the training method of Sun Breathing."

Yukino blinked, her voice tinged with surprise, "An hour ago? Wasn't that when we first started practicing?"

“That’s right,” Shinobu Kocho praised. “After hearing about it, Luo-kun tried it out himself and mastered it. He’s an absolute genius!”

Yukino nodded: "Yes, he does learn things very quickly, ever since he was little. I always like to compete with him, but I can never beat him. I can never learn as fast as him. I'm going out to take a look, and I'll practice again later."

"Let's go together."

After leaving the dojo to Kanzaki Aoi and Kanao, Shinobu Kocho went out with Yukino.

As soon as I came out, I saw a continuous trail of firelight swirling around in the front yard.

Seeing Luo Bai, the instigator, passionately wielding a flaming blade that burned like a blazing sun...

Luo Bai and Yukino stared wide-eyed: "This is... Sun Breathing?"

Shinobu Kocho became serious at this point and nodded, saying, "That's right, it's the Breath of the Sun, exactly the same as what Tanjiro showed back then."

Although she knew that Luo Bai was a genius, Shinobu Kocho never expected that Luo Bai would master the Breath of the Sun in just one hour.

But that's not all.

The next second, after completing all the moves of the Breath of the Sun technique, the flame blade in Luo Bai's hand disappeared, and an ice blade appeared. An extremely cold aura, completely opposite to the Breath of the Sun, spread across the field.

At this moment, Kanroji Mitsuri and Iguro Obanai also rushed out, looking at this scene in surprise.

Kanroji Mitsuri covered her mouth, asking in surprise, "A breathing technique? But this isn't an existing school of thought!"

Obanai Iguro, standing nearby, remarked, "It seems he developed this style himself. He already possesses ice abilities, so it appears to be Ice Breathing."

Shinobu Kocho nodded and said, "That's right. It must be that after mastering the Breath of the Sun, Lord Luo developed his own style from it. It's really amazing. I must go back and report this to my lord tomorrow."

"Huh?! You've already mastered Sun Breathing? So fast!"

Kanroji Mitsuri was even more shocked, and Iguro Obanai had the same expression.

Looking at the two of them, Shinobu Kocho narrowed her eyes and said, "Speaking of which, where did you two go? You disappeared after I started teaching Yukino and the others."

When asked about this, both of them immediately blushed.

Well, it seems they had a romantic getaway for two.

Volume 1: Chapter 194 Unexpected Event? (1/2)

Looking at the two of them, Shinobu Kocho said helplessly, "You two are really inseparable, sticking together from morning till night."

Covering her face with her hands, Mitsuri Kanroji said shyly, "Hehe, I finally found my ideal partner, so of course I want to get along well with her!"

As for Obanai Iguro, although he looks shy, he probably enjoys it quite a bit.

As they were talking, Luo Bai's practice session came to an end.

After retracting his movements and catching his breath, he looked at the group of people standing by the courtyard and walked over with a smile.

"Yukino's out too, does that mean she's mastered the basics?"

Yukino smiled and nodded: "Yes, I just got a feel for it, and I'm going to continue practicing later."

Kanroji Mitsuri asked curiously, "Wow, you're amazing! You learned Sun Breathing so quickly? It's not something an ordinary person can learn. We Pillars tried to learn Sun Breathing after we learned about it, but none of us could."

Obanai Iguro nodded and said, "Sun Breathing is too powerful. None of us can withstand its sun-like temperature. In the past, it was because of this that the Demon Slayer Corps members developed five basic styles based on Sun Breathing. But I didn't expect that, besides Tanjiro Kamado, you, Luo Bai, would also learn Sun Breathing."

Shinobu Kocho said with a happy expression, "I was right. You have the superpower to control flames and can also transform into flames. The burden of Sun Breathing on you is basically zero. Once you master it, you might be able to unleash power no less than Yoriichi Tsugikuni."

Luo Bai shrugged and said, "I didn't have that many thoughts. My strength is enough for now. I just didn't expect to learn it so quickly."

Although Luo Bai knew he was quick at learning things since he was a child, he didn't expect that he could learn something like the Breath of the Sun so quickly.

It seems that this learning ability is one of his special advantages.

"Let's go and see how the others are doing."

Just as they were about to go inside together, the phones of Shinobu Kocho, Obanai Iguro, and Mitsuri Kanroji all rang at the same time.

Furthermore, the phone's ringtone is also custom-configured.

Upon hearing the ringtone, the three of them immediately became serious and took out their phones to check.

Luo Bai also realized what was happening and came to Kocho Shinobu's side, asking, "Something's wrong?"

Shinobu Kocho nodded, looking at the message on her phone, and said, "A large unidentified creature has appeared in the forest. It was spotted by mountaineering enthusiasts who called the police, and the incident was then transferred to the Guardians. We were ordered to go and investigate. The danger level is not high. The unidentified creature has not left the forest yet and has not caused any harm, but we still need to confirm it before capturing and containing it."

"So, are we going to make a move?" Luo Bai asked Shinobu Kocho. "I'll go with you, just in case."

Shinobu Kocho did not refuse and readily agreed.

At this moment, Kanao and Aoi Kanzaki also ran out, clearly having received the notification as well.

Shinobu Kocho said, "Kanao, Aoi, you don't need to go this time. Stay at the dojo and wait for orders. A few of us can go. I'm counting on you, Raku-kun."

"no problem."

Nodding, Luo Bai looked at Yukino and said, "We'll be right back."

Yukino was quite confident in the group's abilities, and said with a smile, "Yes, be careful in everything."

Then, under the watchful eyes of Yang Nai and the others, Luo Bai controlled the air to lift Kocho Shinobu and the other two into the air, and together they flew towards the mission's destination.

Utaha watched the group's departing figures, then turned to Yukino and asked, "How about we guess what kind of monster it is?"

Yang Nai pondered for a moment and said, "Well, the Demon King Kibutsuji Muzan has already been defeated, so it can't be a demon, and it can't be a ghoul either. The hiker who called the police wasn't harmed. The one I encountered before was the Slit-Mouthed Woman, which is an urban legend and is unlikely to appear in the deep mountains. I really can't guess it."

Kanzaki Aoi looked at her phone and said, "The notification said it's an unknown creature. It's probably the first time it's appeared. What a pity. I also want to go on a mission, but now I can only stay here."

Sakurajima Mai smiled and patted Kanzaki Aoi's head, saying, "The other few can go. You're still young. Once you're a bit older, Shinobu will definitely take you with him."

Kanzaki Aoi nodded vigorously and said confidently, "Although I've been working at the Butterfly Mansion, I haven't neglected my breathing techniques. I will definitely help Jonin-neechan!"

With that, he turned and went back to the dojo to begin training.

After taking a look, Kanao followed Kanzaki Aoi and prepared to train as well.

On Luo Bai's side, the group quickly followed the given coordinates and flew to the forest where the target had been found.

Without much searching, the group found their target.

Staring wide-eyed at the gigantic creature over three meters tall in front of her, Kanroji Mitsuri exclaimed in shock, "That's a wild boar? How can it be so big!"

This is a super-sized wild boar that is over three meters tall, over four meters long, with pink fur all over its body, brown mane on its back, and curved tusks in its mouth.

Compared to ordinary wild boars, this large wild boar was still emitting billowing heat, as if it had special abilities.

Upon seeing this thing, Luo Bai thought of something.

This thing looks like a creature captured by a gourmet! It looks like it's edible.

Toriko is a rather old work, having ended several years ago. That world is filled with all sorts of strange and exotic ingredients, and the gourmets there have ridiculously high fighting abilities.

This large wild boar appears to be...

One of the ingredients, but Luo Bai couldn't quite remember what it was; he'd have to search online to find out.

After observing from a distance, the group discovered that there was more than one wild boar. Accompanied by heavy footsteps, three more wild boars, one large and two small, approached, seemingly a family of four.

Just as Shinobu was about to devise a plan, she saw Luo Bai take out his phone.

"Luo Jun, what are you doing?"

As Luo Bai logged onto the browser to search, he said, "This seems to be something from an anime I've seen. It's a very special ingredient. I want to confirm it. Ah, I found it. It really is a level 1 roasted whole pig."

Upon hearing Luo Bai's words, the three of them gathered around and looked at the description of roasted whole pig on Luo Bai's phone.

Kanroji Mitsuri exclaimed in surprise, "There really is one! It's a giant pig that's completely roasted? It must taste delicious!"

After saying that, he couldn't help but swallow.

Luo Bai smiled and nodded: "Yes, if nothing unexpected happens, we can have an extra meal tonight. They're so big, we can't finish them all by ourselves. The members of the Guardian Organization can also have an extra meal. This is a rare delicacy. Let's go. I'll use my ability to hide your scent, and then we'll launch a surprise attack as fast as we can and take them out in an instant. We can't let the meat burn."

Then, Luo Bai carefully led the three of them down to the ground.
