Upon seeing them, visible excitement appeared on that person's face.
"Save me..."
As they watched, a hand suddenly rested on his shoulder.
The swordsman's excitement instantly froze, and his tears stopped flowing.
"Choose, either go back to training or be killed by me now." Sanemi Shinazugawa's scarred face appeared behind the swordsman, his expression as ferocious as an evil demon.
No, even among evil demons, it would be hard to find a few more terrifying than him.
"No... I don't want to die..." The swordsman shook his head in horror.
Bang!!!
With a sound, a huge red lump appeared on his head, and he rolled his eyes and fainted.
Sanemi Shinazugawa noticed their presence, raised his eyes, and glared fiercely. When he saw Nezuko behind the group, his eyebrows furrowed slightly.
He didn't say anything, just dragged the unconscious swordsman back.
"It's like being targeted by a wild beast." Kanzaki Aoi shivered. "I suddenly feel that Miss Kanae wouldn't be happy marrying him either."
Kochou Shinobu's eyelid twitched, feeling a bit awkward.
She couldn't refute it at all.
Mr. Shinazugawa's temper is just that violent; he's only slightly better in front of her elder sister.
Mizuki nodded nonchalantly: "A domestic abuser, let's hang him on... hang him on..."
"Hang him on what was it again?"
It seemed to be some kind of method to criticize men.
She forgot.
Kochou Shinobu reminded her: "A lamppost?"
Mizuki frowned: "It doesn't seem to be... but a lamppost works too."
Tanjirou hesitantly said: "Mr. Shinazugawa just isn't very good at expressing himself, is he?"
Kanzaki Aoi raised an index finger and said righteously to Tanjirou: "A man with a rough temper will definitely not be a good husband."
At this point, Kanzaki Aoi couldn't help but look up at the sky and sighed: "Miss Kanae is truly pitiful. Will she also be covered in scars like Lord Shinazugawa after marriage?"
Kochou Shinobu's expression was a bit unnatural. What was going on? What were these people thinking?
"Let's go, follow Mr. Shinazugawa, he's just ahead." Kochou Shinobu interrupted their conversation.
If this continued, it would probably turn into a discussion about how miserable her sister's married life would be, even coming to her, her younger sister, to cry with a body full of injuries.
A scene of her sister being bullied and crying to her inexplicably appeared in her mind, and Kochou Shinobu quickly shook her head.
It was a bit scary.
Everyone followed Sanemi Shinazugawa to the dojo, where battles were crackling, and the sounds of wooden swords colliding rang out one after another.
Following Sanemi Shinazugawa into the dojo, there were about a dozen people, jointly attacking Kochou Kanae.
However, even facing the attacks of more than ten people, Kanae showed no sign of panic, her figure flickering like a ghost within the dojo.
"Not enough yet." Kanae's figure appeared behind a swordsman, gently striking his wrist and calf with her wooden sword. "Your wrists and calves need to be tighter."
"Yes!"
The team member she hit didn't fall to the ground in pain; instead, he looked excited.
It was like a complete guidance battle, with no intention of abusing them. Kanae was just constantly adjusting everyone's bad habits.
It was a harmonious scene.
However, such a beautiful scene eventually disintegrated with Sanemi Shinazugawa's return.
Sanemi Shinazugawa casually threw the unconscious swordsman into a corner, his every move making the surrounding Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen tremble with fear.
"Kanae, you should rest." Sanemi Shinazugawa stretched his wrists, looking eager, a chilling smile spreading across his lips. "Let me play with them."
Kanae stopped her movements, slightly calmed her breathing, noticed the group standing at the door, and nodded gently.
"Alright, Mr. Shinazugawa, you are stronger than me, so it's more suitable for you to guide them."
Upon hearing her words, the Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen stiffly twisted their necks.
No, no, it would be better if Lady Kanae trained them.
"Huh? Are you dissatisfied with me?" Sanemi Shinazugawa noticed their actions, snarled unhappily, and said with a ferocious expression.
Everyone shook their heads rapidly.
Sanemi Shinazugawa pulled a wooden sword from the rack, smiling twistedly: "That's good, all of you come at once."
Everyone's bodies trembled.
If training with Lady Kanae was like bathing in a spring breeze, then training with Lord Shinazugawa was pure abuse.
He wouldn't stop until they were beaten to the point of vomiting and fainting; he would literally torment people to death.
"Ah~"
"Uh~"
"Ugh~"
Screams, or sounds of vomiting from being beaten, were ceaseless.
Sanemi Shinazugawa, just like his title, roamed among everyone like a whirlwind, sweeping away everything in his path.
"Hahahahaha..." A perverted laugh echoed through the dojo, a stark contrast to the screams of the crowd.
Miserable, utterly miserable.
It was eerily similar to the training with Iguro Obanai, the Serpent Hashira, whom they had encountered earlier. No wonder these two could get along.
Turns out they're both perverts.
"Miss Kanae will definitely not be happy; they must be separated."
Unanimously, this thought couldn't help but cross everyone's minds.
As they thought this, Kanae had already approached them, smiling and nodding. She curiously pointed at the box on the ground and asked Kochou Shinobu: "Little Shinobu, what are these?"
Kochou Shinobu replied: "It's Mizuki's blood; I still need your help, Sister, to distribute it to the other team members."
"I understand." Kanae already knew about this, so she wasn't surprised.
She had already thanked Mizuki countless times.
Having owed so much, words of thanks didn't mean much anymore; it was better to prove it with actual actions.
Moreover, it wasn't just her... all of them in the Demon Slayer Corps... owed Miss Mizuki too much... After arranging the potions, Kanzaki Aoi couldn't help but ask: "Miss Kanae, don't you think that's cruel?"
"Cruel?" Kanae was startled, following Kanzaki Aoi's gaze.
"Ah, you're talking about Mr. Shinazugawa."
"No, not at all."
"Eh?" Kanzaki Aoi's eyes widened slightly. Could Miss Kanae have been charmed by Mr. Shinazugawa?
Thinking about it carefully, it was indeed possible.
Otherwise, how could someone with such severe violent tendencies be liked?
Kanae smiled: "Although Shinazugawa's training is strict, he knows his limits. If they endure more pain in normal times, they will bleed less when they encounter demons."
That being said... looking at the people with nosebleeds and faces on the ground...
But this was simply too painful.
Even just watching, everyone felt a toothache.
