The Story of Demon Hunter

Until At The Capital

Nearly two weeks later, the caravan finally arrived at the capital of the Fuji Kingdom.

Because they traveled through one big city and stopped for a few days, their journey was somewhat delayed. Arthur who had arrived at the capital immediately chose to say goodbye. Merely, his disguise was actually almost exposed because of someone.

“Are you still not giving up, Jotaro?!” arthur said, gritting his teeth.

“Didn't you say that all of us (bandits) should decide what we want? I'll travel with you, Ryuma. Become a partner who will accompany you and be an eye for you to see the vastness of this world!”

Jotaro then stroked his chin. With a cool expression on his face, the man added.

“Truly not a bad choice, is it?”

“Sorry, I told you I'm not interested in men. Besides ...”

‘I once turned down a teammate of a beautiful girl, why should I walk with a big guy who looks striking like a panda in a zoo like you?’

Arthur could not help but complain inwardly. He just wanted to explore the world and gather various foodstuffs calmly. But there are creatures that bother him to travel quietly. This made the young man really have a headache.

“Women will only interfere with our speed in cultivating, Ryuma.” Jotaro slightly lowered his hat then continued in a serious tone. “That's what my teacher said.”

‘That's because your teacher was single until he got on the ground! Don't equate everyone like your teacher!’

Arthur complained in his heart. He really wanted to condemn, but had to keep his elegant temperament when outside. For some reason, the young man felt he was being tested. Tested with a very heavy trial.

“If you want to follow me, you have to change your appearance and identity. If not, I can't accept you at all.”

“REALLY?”

Seeing the smile on Jotaro's face, Arthur felt that he had said something wrong. He wanted to say something else, but ...

It seems that everything is too late!

***

Next day.

Arthur who was using a false identity walked over quietly. Behind him, there was a figure that looked so striking. A daoist-looking person, but with a bald head and a bear-like body.

A blind swordsman and a fighter like a bear. The view was too flashy!

‘Unlike the forced cool appearance, it turns out this guy is so reckless! She even completely cut her hair to the end!’

Arthur actually plans to scare Jotaro and make him pargi. But who would have thought that the man actually chose to continue following him. In the end, the young man could only grit his teeth and accept it.

“Now where are we going, Mister?”

“Stop calling me Sir. A big man like you calling in such a gentle tone even gave me goosebumps. So don't be too polite and call me by name or Boss.”

Arthur muttered with an annoyed expression. His voice of course could only be heard by Jotaro who had quite high cultivation and was behind him like a bodyguard.

“Bos? Strange mention, but it's better than the direct name, right?” Jotaro.

“...”

Although it looks cool, Jotaro himself thinks quite simply. While the reason why he could act like that was obvious due to the reckless upbringing of his teacher and foster father. Making someone with talent like a protagonist who fights for hegemony even becomes what it is today.

“So where are we going, Boss?”

“Stana.”

“...”

Jotaro stared at Arthur with an astonished expression. He wanted to ask if the young man was joking, but not so when he saw the flat expression on his face.

“As I thought, it seems that you are a noble, Boss.”

Hearing Jotaro's words, many people stared at Arthur with curious faces. In response, the young man refrained from cursing and said calmly.

“This one is not a noble at all. I'm just a regular pedestrian.”

People obviously believe more in what Jotaro says. Not only because of Arthur's temperament, but Jotaro's own appearance is too striking. Talented men at the 6-star silver level were already extremely rare, but were now guards. Such things were only enjoyed by the nobles.

Otherwise, they guessed that Arthur was the young master of a certain great family who had a deep background in the cultivation world.

Other than Jotaro, there were obviously quite a number of people in the capital who were at the level of 6-star silver or so. But their age is too far compared to Jotaro. So Jotaro's act of showing cultivation level coupled with a glistening plontos head when exposed to sunlight was really too conspicuous.

The two of them then continued walking until the palace.

Up in front of the palace gate, the two of them were instantly stopped by the guards. Although they looked quite simple, but their strength which was considered young made the guards not dare to underestimate them.

“What do these two masters want to come to the palace? Is there anything we can help you with?”

Many guards thought that the two were figures sent by certain sects to attend the princess's birthday party. But who would have thought, the answer both immediately made the panjaga change their facial expressions.

“We want to meet Miss Nanami.”

After the trip, of course Arthur learned important information. Nanami herself was now not considered a noble, despite being the niece of the current king, but she had absolutely no status. Moreover, the girl seemed to be greatly hated as well.

As a friendly swordsman, of course Arthur still had to show some manners. It's just that not all decency is met with politeness.

“There is no such thing as Miss Nanami here. If nothing else, gentlemen can go!”

Hearing the fierce words from the guard, Jotaro felt annoyed and was about to step up. Arthur stopped him. He just nodded lightly while saying.

“Then thank you for the information, Keeper.”

After saying that, Arthur took Jotaro away. He did not expect that the situation was so severe that the little guard alone did not give face to the king's nephew. Not wanting to make an excessive fuss, the young man finally decided to look for information in the city.

After a full day of touring, Arthur and Jotaro finally learn what Nanami looks like and what his daily habits are.

“It's afternoon. That meant the girl would train at the back of the palace. Then we'll go there, Jotaro.”

Seeing that the sun was already in the west, Arthur said casually.

“Good, Boss!”

Jotaro follows Arthur away. A little curious about the girl who made her boss interested.
