The Story of Demon Hunter

Nanami Application

Arriving at the black iron mine management office, Arthur had again changed his expression. Now he looked so relaxed and calm compared to his previous excited appearance.

By the time he arrived, many people were looking at him with amazed and fearful expressions on their faces. It seems really unexpected that Arthur could survive a battle against ‘monster’ like that.

Yep. To them, ordinary humans, an existence like Groud Dragon was more akin to the existence of monsters they could not fight.

Entering the mine management office, Arthur was immediately greeted by some beautiful officers who drove him to where three old men had been waiting for him.

Arriving at the door, he knocked casually.

“This is me.”

“Please enter, Mr Ryuma.”

Hearing Kijimura's polite voice, Arthur felt that something was wrong. The young man still entered the room. Looking towards the three people who greeted him with friendly smiles on their faces, he became suspicious.

“Sit here, Mr Ryuma.”

Seeing Mitsusaru even being polite, Arthur cupped his eyebrows. Sighing deeply, he finally complied with their request. The young man sat in his chair quietly. I clearly feel like everything is going too well,

‘Attempted murder? Want to steal my share? Just try it, Old Man!’

Seeing their friendly smile, Arthur had already complained inwardly. Although troublesome, but he still dared to give not the old man a lesson if messing with him.

“Drink tea first, Mr Ryuma.”

Seeing Masanobu speaking politely with a smile on his face, Arthur raised his eyebrows. The young man immediately suspected that his tea had been poisoned. However after checking carefully, he did not see any poison in the tea at all. In fact, the aroma of the tea brewed this time was more than the tea they drank before.

Sipping the tea and realizing there were no abnormalities, Arthur finally asked directly.

“What problem is there? It seems that you three are so happy.”

Hearing that, Kijimura stroked her beard with a shy expression. He then replied.

“It's a shame, but I really didn't expect you to be so deep, Mr. Ryuma.”

“Yes! Why do you have to cover it up?” Mitsusaru sipped the tea with a dissatisfied expression.

Hearing the two of them, Arthur's expression changed. At that moment, he thought.

‘Did they realize that my actions did not match at all? Did they know from the beginning that Ryuma was just a disguise? What do they want?’

At that moment, the speech from Masanobu made him realize the root of the problem.

“Who would have thought, Lord Ryuma who claimed to be not famous turned out to have been a core disciple of the Dragon Dojo, Heavenly Pillar Sect. We really did not expect that you chose to hide such a noble identity.”

Hearing that, Arthur heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. The young man then said with a friendly smile.

“You may not know him very well, but Mr. Shigekuni is very grumpy. If until he found out the core disciples were showing off here and there, it would be troublesome when he returned. The old man was completely intolerant. The result will definitely be troublesome.”

Arthur's words instantly made the eyes of the three old men sparkle. They were all about to ask, but the voice of the young man again rang out in their ears.

“Please keep this identity a secret. After all, I made a pact with you on my own behalf. Absolutely nothing to do with the Dragon Dojo or the Heavenly Pillar Sect.”

“Of course we will keep this secret fine,” Kijimura said directly.

“I'm not a bucket-mouthed person. Although you still do not know why you guys, the members of the big sects like to hide your identity, you can be sure that I will keep my mouth shut.”

Mitsusaru said with a serious expression on her face.

Then, Masanobu finally followed the conversation.

“We will definitely keep your identity, Mr. Ryuma. You can calm down.

By the way, do you not intend to accept another disciple? I think, Natsumi's talent is not so bad.”

“You are shameless, Old Man.” Seeing Masanobu offering his grandson, Mitsusaru said with a dissatisfied expression.

“Yes. Just because you are not bound to a sect, you can ask someone to teach.” Kijimura nodded in agreement.

“This all has nothing to do with you guys. I just asked if Mr Ryuma is willing or not? Of course, about the gift, it does not matter at all.”

“You should have known that I had no intention of accepting a disciple, Mr. Masanobu.

The reason I accepted Nanami was only because the girl was not getting a good education. So I took advantage of this opportunity to return the favor. Put the basics on her before leaving.”

Hearing that, Masanobu let out a long sigh. Thinking of something, the old man's expression changed.

“That person ... does he still hate me?”

“I think he still hates you, and that's a natural thing. But you don't have to worry. Although it has something to do with me, but that person has nothing to do with the Heavenly Pillar Sect.

My advice, you better fix the relationship. After all, that woman is your daughter and Nanami is your granddaughter. Not that I want to interfere, but such a deep hatred in the end will only bring pain.”

Hearing the advice of Arthur, Masanobu let out a long sigh. He nodded heavily while saying.

“It ... I'll try it.”

“Good then.” Arthur nodded. “ Soon I will be living in this kingdom. I wish I could go quietly. I also hope this kingdom is not involved with unnecessary problems.”

“At least you should come and have a drink with us once a year, Mr. Ryuma. You need to take your annual part.” Mitsusaru said with a smile on her face.

“Then I'll stop by for a drink occasionally.”

Arthur shrugged, saying in a relaxed tone. The four of them started talking about random things. Enjoy some relaxing time after completing the task.

***

A few days later, Arthur and Masanobu bring back Nanami and Natsumi back to the palace.

After returning, it seems that Natsumi is in a bad state. Meanwhile, Nanami became even more excited compared to before. Every time he looked at his teacher, the girl's eyes would be filled with stars.

Given that Arthur is leaving soon, Nanami becomes restless.

One afternoon after training, Nanami stops Arthur. Looking at her teacher's handsome face with a stern expression, the girl said.

“There's something I want to talk to you about, Guru.”

“Can't we talk here?” ask Arthur.

Nanami looked at Jotaro and the guards then shook her head. Seeing the stern expression on his face, Arthur finally complied with his request.

Aging in a leisurely space, Nanami looked towards Arthur with a nervous expression on her face.

“Master ... S-I want to keep following you wherever you go! Please accept me as your official student, Master!”

Nanami knelt down in front of Arthur. Seeing that, the young man's expression changed.

“Build.”

Hearing that, Nanami felt pleased. However, the next sentence made the girl feel like she had fallen into a deep abyss.

“As you know, Nanami. I can't accept you as my student. You can't travel with me.”

“Why?” nanami asked with a listless expression.

Nanami looked up, staring at Arthur with a teary face. The girl still did not seem to accept the reality. It seemed that he really did not want to part with his teacher.

Just then, Arthur's calm voice came back.

“Because you have a family. Unlike me or Jotaro who has no one. Besides, to be honest .. You're too weak. The place I was headed to was not a beautiful place where ordinary people could play cheerfully, but a dangerous place where I could lose my life at any moment.

So, sorry ..”

Arthur shook his head.

“I can't accept your request.”
