The Story of Demon Hunter

Eshajori

Time continues to flow, unwittingly, it has been the 90th curry since Arthur came to teach Nanami.

It was just that, ever since Arthur's refusal, the relationship between teacher and disciple had become quite awkward. Even Jotaro and Nanami's mother also felt somewhat depressed because of their relationship. Day after day spent was truly heavier than before.

Fortunately, Nanami's mother has improved and is getting better so she can guide her daughter. Arthur's role is less than ever. He simply set a schedule, taught a few things, and gave Nanami and her mother some herbal soup that helped them. While the exercises are done by Nanami herself with her mother who corrects if there is a mistake.

As for Masanobu, he now no longer interfered. At first, the old man came to check on his daughter who managed to get pregnant and began to improve. At first, he tries to repair the relationship, but it doesn't seem to work. After all, keeping the cup from cracking is easier than repairing a cracked cup.

Nanami's mother's response clearly made Masanobu doubtful. After all, the old man would definitely not let the hidden danger overshadow the Fuji Kingdom. But after being convinced by Arthur, the old man finally chose to believe.

Although reluctant, Masanobu is forced to assume his daughter has died. There were no daughters or granddaughters on his part, only strangers. That way, Nanami and her mother will leave after the training period is completed.

“You're really talented, Nanami. It had broken through the five-star bronze level within three months. If you keep trying, you must have broken through the silver level before one year.”

In the backyard, a rather pale beautiful woman looked at her daughter with a gentle smile on her face.

Nanami herself was still swinging her sword with a serious expression. The memory of Arthur's rejection was vivid in his head. That makes him very upset. He also recalled the respectful and astonished expressions of the three old men while in the cold iron mine. From their appearance alone the girl was convinced that Arthur had an important role in facing the Ground Dragon.

Not to mention, his teacher had now broken through to the 2-star gold level. He could not imagine how powerful an iru man could be. Therefore, Nanami did not dare to slack at all. If he was a little careless, it would be impossible for him to follow the shadow of the teacher.

“Time to rest, Nanami.”

“I'll be practicing in a minute, Mom.”

“...”

Seeing her daughter trying so hard, the woman could only smile wryly. He feels happy and sad at the same time.

On one hand, he was delighted that Arthur refused Nanami to follow him. Although Athur is strong, she knows that the outside world is really very dangerous. Nanami is still too young, not only a burden, but there is a lot of risk of having an accident. As a mother, she did not want anything bad to happen to her daughter.

On the other hand, he felt sad to see Nanami continue to try hard without getting tired. Although it was also for Nanami herself, but the woman felt that her daughter was trying too hard. Not to mention seeing Nanami depressed. It also made him feel depressed.

The afternoon before the training at the end.

“I want to challenge you, Guru.”

Nanami said to Arthur with a serious expression on her face. Hearing that, Arthur nodded lightly.

Not only his mother, but Jotaro also learned of Nanami's habit of challenging Arthur every few days. According to the agreement, as long as the girl could defeat Arthur in the same cultivation level before the 100-day practice was completed, the young man would withdraw his words and allow Nanami to come along.

That was also one of the reasons why Nanami tried to train harder.

“I'm ready anytime.”

Arthur stood in his place quietly. He did not take out any weapons. As always, plan to face Nanami with only bare hands.

Nanami pulled out her sword. He looked towards Arthur with a serious expression on his face. Taking a deep breath, the girl said.

“I start!”

Swooshes!

Arthur took one step back while slightly twisting his body, instantly dodging the girl's attack. But Nanami's attack didn't stop there. Other than the first slash, the girl continued to follow him with movement after movement. The combination of each movement really goes very naturally like running water. His achievements in using the sword were clearly no longer bad.

It's just that, when dealing with Arthur ...

That is far from enough!

A BANG!

Arthur stopped avoiding. He came closer and attacked. Instantly breaks up Nanami's successive attacks, then hits the girl until it bounces back a few meters.

Just as Nanami was about to make a move, Arthur's figure was already standing beside her and a finger had been pointed down her throat.

“Enough.”

Arthur said in a relaxed tone before continuing.

“You have been very good because you can do combos constantly. Only, once the combo is broken, you can easily be defeated due to the gap in defense. After learning this, your strength will definitely increase to another level.”

“Stay alone, it is still impossible to beat you.”

Nanami said in a depressed tone. He bit his lips. Sadness briefly flashed through his eyes, but was soon replaced with determination. The girl then bowed politely, thanking him for today's lesson.

After that, Nanami turned around to leave. He did so either because he was tired and wanted to immediately make up the wound and rest, or did not want to linger with his teacher if not in practice time. Maybe both too.

The mother who saw him could only shake her head and then catch up with him. Jotaro looked at Arthur in silence. Not at all intending to interfere.

Seeing Nanami leave, Arthur let out a long sigh. He felt that facing a girl was too complicated. The young man simply did not have much experience in that sort of thing. He just wants to travel freely. No less, no more.

Bringing Jotaro alone has made it difficult, not to mention bringing a girl who is still unstable. He obviously could not bear that kind of pressure.

Not only that, there is a reason why Arthur refuses to get too close to others. Especially with ordinary people.

Arthur was not at all arrogant or considered them inferior compared to him. The young man only felt quite afraid of losing. He had experienced the feeling of losing a person whom he considered extremely valuable. That kind of painful feeling, Arthur simply did not want to try to get used to it.

Looking at the twilight sky, Arthur recalled an idiom from the east taken from the Buddhist scriptures.

‘Eshajori.’

‘Every meeting should involve a farewell. Those who meet in the end must part.’

Thinking that, Arthur could only close his eyes while sighing without saying a word.
