Chapter 144 Hand-forged Nichirin Blade

"Lord Su Yan, please come with me for a moment."

Not long after, Kanzaki Aoi rushed back again.

The fact that she didn't see Su Yan and Mi Douzi kissing when she returned this time truly made the blue-haired girl breathe a huge sigh of relief.

To be honest, she was genuinely a little afraid of this Lord Su Yan in front of her.

Shinobu Kocho, Kanae Kocho, and Kanao Tsuyuri—the girls from the Butterfly Mansion lined up to offer themselves to each other.

Especially that child, Kanao.

Kanzaki Aoi still can't figure out what's going on in the other person's head.

It's unbelievable that someone could interpret Kanae Butterfly's mention of "contact" as kissing.

In addition, yesterday afternoon, the three little ones from Butterfly House deliberately exposed his shortcomings in front of Su Yan.

She told the other person about how, after participating in the Demon Slayer Corps recruitment selection, she was terrified after seeing demons and accidentally wet the bed at night.

So much so that she was genuinely afraid that Su Yan might use this to threaten her?

Want to steal your first kiss?

After all, apart from those three little girls who weren't even considered proper girls, the only one from the Butterfly House who hadn't yet kissed the other was himself.

So if she could, she really didn't want to face Su Yan.

But this time it really is a bit unavoidable.

So, after finishing her sentence, Kanzaki Aoi turned around and left quickly without giving Su Yan a chance to ask any questions.

Seeing this, Su Yan felt somewhat puzzled by Kanzaki Aoi's behavior.

He then gestured for Nezuko and Busujima Yako to learn the Breathing of the Sun, while he himself followed in Kanzaki Aoi's footsteps.

What Su Yan didn't notice was the resentment in Mi Douzi's eyes as he left.

Although she didn't say it outright, Mizuko had a very strong feeling in her heart.

My Su Yan brother might soon be eating the lips of his fifth girl today.

"Nezuko, train hard. Once you have fully mastered the essence of Sun Breathing, you will achieve your goal."

Dokushima Yako saw the resentment in Nezuko's eyes.

I couldn't help but recall the person I used to be, who always felt unworthy of Su Yan, my junior.

Mingming Su Yan had been intentionally getting closer to her since joining the kendo club.

However, due to her inferiority complex, she never dared to take a step towards Su Yan, and even took a step back to keep her distance when he approached her.

Looking back now, it was quite an interesting memory.

On the other side, Su Yan followed Kanzaki Aoi to a room inside the Butterfly Mansion that seemed to be used to receive guests.

Kanzaki Aoi saw the figure in the reception room with a black spotted headscarf and a fire man mask on his face.

Arrived safely.

Only then did I breathe a sigh of relief.

Kanzaki Aoi explained to Su Yan, "Lord Su Yan, this is Mr. Steel, the swordsmith sent by our lord."

"This is a Nichirin Blade specially made for you. If you have any requirements for the Nichirin Blade you want to use, you can discuss them with Mr. Hidetsuka."

"It's just that Mr. Steel Togezuka has a rather strange temper, Lord Su Yan, please try to understand—"

-

At this point, Kanzaki Aoi scratched her cheek somewhat awkwardly.

"A Nichirin Blade?"

Looking at the swordsmith in front of him and the few pieces of ore placed on the table to forge the Nichirin Blade, Su Yan muttered to himself.

He didn't seem to have mentioned to Kagaya Ubuyashiki that he needed a Nichirin Blade before, did he?

Unexpectedly, the other party even took the initiative to send someone to tailor-make a Nichirin Blade for me.

That's quite sincere.

As is well known, in the world of Demon Slayer, the Demon Slayer Corps has two powerful weapons used to fight demons.

One is the breathing method created by Ji Guoyuan during the Warring States period. The importance of the breathing method is self-evident.

The second type is the Nichirin Blade, crafted from special minerals.

This is a type of mineral called Scarlet Gorilla, unique to the Demon Slayer world.

It has the property of absorbing sunlight.

In suppressing evil spirits, it is even more effective than the poison of wisteria flowers.

When a Nichirin Blade forged from this ore strikes a demon, the resulting wound is as if it had been exposed to sunlight, and even the demon's near-immortal regenerative abilities cannot heal it.

However, this setting was gradually distorted by the original author later on.

Not to mention that they can't be restored, later in the story, even Akaza, Upper Moon Three, and Kokushibo, Upper Moon One, have the ability to regrow their heads after they are cut off by Nichirin Blades.

Not to mention Muzan, who is the final boss.

However, let's not even mention that Su Yan has many methods more useful than the Nichirin Blade to deal with demons, creatures that are almost useless except for their regenerative abilities.

Just watching the battle between Busujima Yako and Tsugikuni Yoriichi just now gave him an insight, allowing him to comprehend the Crimson Blade, which is specifically designed to counter the regenerative abilities of demons.

Therefore, the Nichirin Blade was really of little use to him.

However, the ore used to forge Nichirin Blades is quite interesting.

Minerals that can absorb solar energy.

It might not be of much use to him now, but that doesn't stop him from collecting it, just in case it comes in handy later.

Su Yan said to the swordsmith whom Kanzaki Aoi called Steel Mound, "Mr. Steel Mound, right? You can go back now. I don't need a swordsmith to forge a Nichirin Blade for me. Just leave those pieces of ore behind."

Then, turning to Kanzaki Aoi, she continued, "Also, have the Demon Slayer Corps inform Ubuyashiki Kagaya that after Muzan is defeated, I want all the ore materials used to forge the Nichirin Blade!"

Before Kanzaki Aoi could react, the steelworker, Gangtie, couldn't sit still any longer.

"What?!"

Steel Tomb pulled out two kitchen knives from somewhere, their cold gleam gleaming, and threatened angrily, "What do you mean I can go back? Are you insulting my dignity as a blacksmith? Say it again!!"

"Oh?"

Upon seeing the two kitchen knives the other party pulled out, Su Yan immediately formed an impression of this steel family's knife-forging master and student.

Isn't this the swordsmith who was specifically responsible for forging Nichirin Blades for Tanjiro in the original work?

I remember that time at Spider Mountain, when Tanjiro was fighting Lower Moon Six, Rui the Spider, his Nichirin Blade was cut by Rui's spider silk.

After learning that Tanjiro's Nichirin Blade had broken, Haganezuka angrily grabbed two kitchen knives and went to Tanjiro's door, chasing after him like a real demon.

However, although Su Yan recognized the other party, he showed no intention of changing his address.

Instead, he walked to the table, glanced at the few pieces of ore placed on it, picked one up casually, and weighed it in his hand.

Then he turned his gaze back to Steel Tomb, who was holding two kitchen knives and sharpening them, and said casually, "I'll say it again, you can go back now. I don't need any blacksmiths, because—"

As he spoke, Su Yan channeled his mental energy into the ore in his hand.

As layers of rock and soil that had been clinging to it crumbled away, the essential parts used to forge the Nichirin Blade were revealed.

The ore slowly deformed and stretched in front of Kanzaki Aoi and the Steel Family, eventually taking the shape of a long sword.
