Gafan was stunned for a moment.

But he didn't pay much attention to it, and just shrugged calmly, because he had already decided whose house he would stay at tonight.

"I don't know if Toshito's kid's house is big."

Gafan remained in a squatting position, holding his chin with his hand, and smiled happily.

At this moment, he suddenly felt someone behind him tap his shoulder gently.

Who?

Gafan turned around with a puzzled look on his face, and then saw a familiar face with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Gafan, from the way you move your body and breathe, it seems that you know how to breathe, and it seems to be a type I have never seen before."

"...Yeah, what's wrong?"

Because he was not used to being too close to others, Gafan silently took a few steps away.

And this seemingly disgusting action also made the corners of Butterfly Ninja's eyes twitch a few times. In other words, she wanted to complain about the other person and left the wheelchair as if it was a matter of course.

She really thought that the other person was a disabled person with limited mobility.

"Breathe, breathe—"

After taking deep breaths for who knows how many times today, the butterfly ninja calmed down his desire to hit someone and asked with a slight smile.

"Then let me ask you again, Mr. Gafan...have you ever heard of 'Mind Slash'?"

After hearing this, Gafan also recalled the man named Miyamoto Musashi in his mind, and nodded subconsciously.

"I know, what's wrong?"

"That's it..."

It was probably the kid Tokito who told him. After all, it was said that the relationship between them was that of elder and younger generation.

The Butterfly Ninja, who had no idea about the relationship between Purgatory Anjuro and the person in front of him, thought this in his heart.

She was now hesitating whether to take this opportunity to show the man who was looking at her blankly something "new".

As for the reason, it is not the so-called showing off mentality, but...

His mind once again recalled the story that Tokitoru Muichiro had mentioned before when he left, that the Lord's terminal illness was cured by the other party. The butterfly ninja finally made a decision and showed a friendly attitude for the first time. smile.

"Then come together, Mr. Gafan..."

The butterfly ninja stretched out his little hand, gently pulled the opponent's clothes, pulled him up from the ground, and led him to the open-air courtyard outside the venue.

She chuckled, "Let me show you something magical."

"Huh, something magical?"

Hearing this, Gafan, who did not resist the other party pulling him away, couldn't help showing a strange expression.

After all, it’s not easy to tell the truth.

For Gafan, who has been forced to travel through several high-risk worlds and even met gods.

In the world of "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba", where he had read the original work and had personally seen a man with a flame pattern on his forehead, he really didn't think there was anything that could make him feel "magical".

Even if the so-called ancestor of ghosts was standing in front of him now, he would probably feel that he just met an elite wild monster.

With this thought in his mind, Gafan yawned lazily, but...

next moment.

This thought completely disappeared in his mind.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Gafan, who had already left the outside and came to the open-air courtyard, froze on the spot with a blank expression on his face, his pupils constricted, as if he had seen something that made him feel extremely unbelievable. .

The cool breeze blew by at night, causing some slight ripples to appear on the surface of the pool, and also slightly wet the straw shoes of someone who came here first.

At this moment.

A man with a mortal body, a contemporary water pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps, was standing quietly on the water mirror as a matter of course.

There is nothing underfoot, no fulcrum.

Gafan, whose eyes could see through all things, was looking at Tomioka Giyu in the distance with an extremely blank look, muttering to himself unconsciously.

"...It's really amazing."

Chapter 212: A state of mind beyond common sense

How is this done?

Gafan looked at the man standing on the lake in the distance with a look of astonishment. No matter how he sensed and investigated, he could not see that there was even the slightest trace of mysterious extraordinary energy in the man.

And just such an ordinary mortal body seems to go against the common sense of the world.

As if walking on flat ground, it grows naturally on the water mirror that has no focal point.

"Gafan...there is no relevant record in my database about this situation."

Out of curiosity, the system that also followed him out blinked in confusion when he saw this scene, and looked up at the man next to him blankly.

"I can't understand how this guy did it."

"...I can't understand it either."

After touching the child's head, Gafan frowned deeply.

Although standing on the lake itself was nothing special to him.

If he wanted to, he could even fly directly out of outer space, and he knew someone who could jump directly from the moon back to the earth with just a kick of his feet.

But even the bald man in the cloak couldn't stand still on the lake like the man in front of him.

This has nothing to do with supernatural power with a mysterious color, but should be another kind of...

Gafan's thinking was stuck and he couldn't think of a suitable adjective for the time being.

After struggling for a while, he finally couldn't help but whispered.

"Magic dispelled."

The inexplicable fluctuations spread instantly, causing the thin magic in the air to be expelled out of the open-air courtyard in the blink of an eye.

But the figure standing on the water mirror still exists.

As calm and peaceful as an ink painting.

This made the interest on Gafan's face more and more obvious, and then he said again.

"The waves are rising."

As the words fell, the surface of the pool, which was originally as calm as a mirror, suddenly stirred up waves out of thin air.

Waves rolled up from all directions, rushing towards the figure in the center, as if they were about to completely submerge it.

But the next moment.

Under Gavan's increasingly curious eyes, an invisible circle with a diameter of about three meters appeared between the rough waves, blocking all the waves, or isolating them.

The breath of tranquility spreads.

The waves rolling up on the lake suddenly calmed down.

The waves turned into swirling ripples, gradually dissipating and returning to the water mirror, but Gafan's heart was completely unable to calm down.

Because he didn't notice even the slightest fluctuation of extraordinary energy in the other party during the whole process.

The water surface that was disturbed by the "mantra" calmed down inexplicably.

Very rare, strong curiosity appeared in Gafan's heart.

The original feelings of boredom and laziness have long since disappeared.

He turned to look at the Butterfly Ninja with interest and asked excitedly.

"Miss Shinobu, how on earth did you do this? It's amazing!"

The most amazing person is you, right?

How did you do that method of making waves out of thin air just now? !

Butterfly Ninja, who was also shocked by the other party, subconsciously replied.

"I don't know either."

"...What?" Gafan was stunned.

That confused look in his eyes seemed to be saying, didn't you just say you wanted to show me something magical?

Why don't you know it yourself?

The Butterfly Ninja, who understood the other party's eyes, also deliberately coughed twice in embarrassment, and even temporarily stopped worrying about how the other party managed to make waves out of thin air.

"Mr. Gafan, Mr. Tomioka's situation is unique even among the pillars... You should also have a certain understanding of "Mind Slash" and "Breathing Technique", right?"

Looking at the other party and nodding, the Butterfly Ninja also continued to explain seriously.

"For our Demon Slayer Squad, the 'Breathing Technique' is a mature technology that has been passed down for hundreds of years. We have roughly understood the principles of it, and the 'Mind Slash' was brought by Mr. Purgatory not long ago. I don't know where it came from. A new technology that has come back, or a theory.”

"Unlike the physical application of breathing techniques, mind cutting is a pure development of the spiritual realm. This aspect is also a path we have never imagined before."

The Butterfly Ninja organized the language and tried his best to use popular language that is easy for people to understand: "And through our experiments, we found that Mind Slash can increase the sword shape of the breathing method and the 'momentum' used in the breathing method beyond imagination. "

Potential?

Gafan frowned slightly, but soon showed a look of surprise.

Oh, that's it.

He recalled Tsukuni Enichi and Purgatory Anjojuro. When they slashed with their swords, the blade ignited a flame that was somewhere between illusion and reality. It seemed like an illusion but could feel the real temperature.

That thing can also be used without relying on magic power.

After the butterfly ninja confirmed that the other party could understand, he continued to explain.

However, this time there was a depressed look on her pretty face.

"After that, Mr. Purgatory also began to try to teach us that new technology without reservation. Although it was a bit difficult to understand, everyone as pillars more or less learned it and integrated it into it. into his own sword shape, but..."

"A strange situation has occurred."

The Butterfly Ninja, who specializes in killing ghosts with poison, was the worst at it. He covered his face in exhaustion and raised his hand to point to Giyuu Tomioka, who was standing on the lake in the distance and seemed to be stunned.

"Mr. Tomioka, as if it was a foul play, quickly fully understood this new technology. He even tried to walk from the ground to the lake in front of everyone, and he succeeded."

All the pillars present at that time were stunned.

This even includes Purgatory Anjurou who brought back "Idea Slash".

Because he doesn't know how to do this.

"I think what Mr. Tomioka is using now is not mind-killing, but a self-invented new technology." Butterfly said helplessly.

"But this guy with a wooden mouth is too stupid and can't explain clearly. And I came here to have a good talk with him, so I really don't know the specific situation."

And Gafan, who quietly listened to the other party's explanation, also showed a thoughtful expression.

Integrating the mind slash into the sword shape to increase the "power"... Is this a spiritual realm?

He thought of the invisible blade that Miyamoto Musashi held in his hand, just like a real thing.

The product of that guy's pinnacle in this area was beyond his comprehension, but Gafan felt that Tomioka Giyuu's current level should be higher than that of that man.

"No...I'm really too curious."

The corners of Gafan's mouth turned up unconsciously, and he couldn't help but slowly raised one of his fingers.

He remembered.

In the original work, Tomioka Giyu, a contemporary water pillar, once created his own "Shi1 Style" based on the water breathing of a total of ten sword shapes.

It was a unique skill created by him. The specific effect was to put himself into a state of tranquil water and at the same time invalidate all spells within the attack range of his own blade.

And what the other party is using now should be a product that is based on this and improved to the next level.

"Mr. Tomioka, although it is a bit sudden and presumptuous, but..."

An arc of electricity danced on Gafan's fingertips at some point, illuminating his eyes that were now full of curiosity.

"Can I try to attack you?"
