She played so crazy with Romeo yesterday but no markings appeared. I guess markings depend on the person, right?
Ubuyashiki Kagaya's tone was filled with melancholy: "The other children haven't awakened their markings either. It seems I need to ask Romeo more."
During this period, Ubuyashiki Kagaya was very concerned about the awakening status of the team members' stripes.
But in the end, no other Demon Slayer Corps member awakened their markings except Romeo.
Especially Shinazugawa. I heard that he has been doing devilish training every day recently, but his markings have not awakened yet.
This made Ubuyashiki Kagaya realize that the awakening of the stripes was not as simple as Romeo said.
It may even be more difficult.
"It seems that only talent can do it at the moment." Ubuyashiki Kagaya paused for a moment, as if he was thinking.
At this time, Kochou Shinobu spoke up, "My Lord, Shinobu has another thing to say."
Ubuyashiki Kagaya raised his head and smiled, "What's the matter?"
"Recently, I've discovered that Romeo is a very talented kid. He can basically learn the sword skills of breathing techniques just by looking at them once."
"Really?" Ubuyashiki Kagaya showed a hint of surprise, "What breathing method did he learn?"
Kochou Shinobu nodded and said, "Insects, and my sister's flowers."
"What about water breathing?" Ubuyashiki Kagaya asked again.
"Romeo has never been exposed to it, so he won't." Kochou Shinobu continued to answer.
"Is that so?" Ubuyashiki Kagaya's expression became even more surprised.
Generally, the five breathing methods are easier to learn because they are more universal.
Breathing methods derived from water breathing, such as insect breathing and flower breathing, are more personal.
In simple terms, it was because the Kochou sisters were not suitable for water breathing, so they changed water breathing into flower breathing and insect breathing that were more suitable for them.
Unexpectedly, Romeo learned the flower and insect calls first and skipped the water call.
"This kid's talent may be comparable to Tokitou's." Ubuyashiki Kagaya did not hesitate to praise, "Shinobu, take Romeo to the training ground of the pillar in a few days."
Kochou Shinobu raised his head: "My Lord, are you going to take Romeo to train?"
"Yes, Kyoujurou will be back soon after completing his mission. You take Romeo with you. I want to see how far this kid can go."
The Flame Pillar is here too?
Kochou Shinobu showed a look of surprise. It seemed that the lord was really optimistic about Romeo and even let the Flame Pillar practice with Romeo.
"I understand, my lord, I will do it right away."
Kochou Shinobu flashed and retreated.
...
The other side.
The sun is shining brightly in a bamboo forest.
From time to time, a rumbling sound could be heard from somewhere, and the noisy sound of breaking through the air could even be heard half a kilometer away.
The ground shook slightly, so violently that it even shook off the surrounding bamboo leaves.
"How is it possible that it hasn't succeeded yet!" A tearing sound suddenly rang out.
In front of an open space, Shinazugawa waved the wooden sword in his hand and used breathing techniques frantically.
Sweat was pouring down his forehead like crazy, and due to the heat, large amounts of sweat had soaked his clothes.
Leaves were flying everywhere, and the bamboo forest couldn't stop swaying under Shinazugawa's attack.
A young man in a black and white striped plaid shirt suddenly appeared.
There was a bandage wrapped around the lower part of the boy's face, and his pupils were two colors, one yellow and one green.
There was a white snake lying on the neck, smooth and white as jade.
The boy asked, "Shinazugawa, you haven't activated your markings yet?"
Shinazugawa stopped what he was doing and glanced in his direction impatiently.
"No! Did you open it, Iguro?"
Iguro Obanai shook his head. "No, the conditions for opening the stripes are more difficult than I thought."
The two young men looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
How did Romeo do it?
However, neither of them said anything because it would be embarrassing.
"Iguro, come here and practice a few moves with me!" Shinazugawa Tokiya took off his clothes, leaving his upper body naked, and directly pulled out his Nichirin Blades.
Even through his abdominal muscles, you can see the explosive power in Shinazugawa's body.
But Iguro Obanai shook his head: "No, I have a mission to go on later."
"Then why did you come here?" Shinazugawa asked.
"I came here to tell you that Romeo has learned the breathing method."
"Oh?" Shinazugawa narrowed his eyes, "What breathing?"
"Insects and flowers."
"Kochou's breathing method?" Shinazugawa showed a surprised expression on his face. He didn't expect that there were these two breathing methods.
Iguro continued, "Romeo is improving very quickly, even surpassing Tokitou at the beginning. Maybe he can really beat you in fifteen days."
"Thank you for your concern, but compared to defeating Romeo, I care more about opening the markings."
Shinazugawa touched his nose and didn't take the written test fifteen days later seriously.
In comparison, he was more concerned about improving his own strength and trying to kill two more ghosts.
"No, Shinazugawa you have to teach that brat a lesson." Iguro insisted.
Shinazugawa looked at him in surprise: "Did Romeo offend you too?"
Ihei was silent.
Is he going to say something like he's jealous?
Gan Lu has been talking about Romeo all the time lately, and his ears are almost callused!
"Forget it, what do you know, a rough guy like you?" Iguro took out his knife and slowly walked towards Shinazugawa.
Seeing the other party looking like he was ready to fight, Shinazugawa couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you going to go on a mission later? What are you doing now?"
Without even thinking, Yihei said, "I'll go later! I think you're still slacking off, so I'll practice a few moves with you!"
Shinazugawa was amused: "You kid."
...
Kochou Shinobu has returned home.
But she found that her children seemed to be out of the house.
Kochou Shinobu took off her shoes, her small feet squeaked on the wooden boards, and she slowly walked towards the courtyard.
As soon as she entered the corridor, she saw Romeo sitting under the shade of a tree, and her stepson Kanao was wiping his sweat beside him.
Xiaoqing, Xiaocheng, and Xiaocaihui each held a plate of pastries and stood in front of Romeo.
This scene stunned Kochou Shinobu.
Is Romeo so popular in his own butterfly house now?
Let's not talk about the little girls like Xiaoqing, Xiaocheng, Xiaocaihui, etc., why did Kanao also come to join in the fun?
It seemed that in Kochou Shinobu's memory, this was the first time that Kanao was so enthusiastic towards a stranger.
Strange, it's really strange!
With a curious attitude, Kochou Shinobu walked towards Romeo.
Everyone greeted her.
"Shinobu-sama Kuunigiwa!"
"Kunijiwa!"
Kochou Shinobu smiled gently, pointed at Romeo and asked the girls, "What's wrong with Romeo?"
But before the three little girls could answer, Kanao on the side said, "Romeo is thinking about something."
Thinking about something?
Kochou Shinobu's beautiful eyes slowly widened: "Is this another epiphany?!"
