Demon Capital Slayer

Chapter 82: Going deep into the enemy camp
Even at breakfast, Amane Suzune still seemed lost in thought.

There was a red mark on the girl's cheek. Don't misunderstand, it wasn't someone else who hit her; she hit herself to make sure she was awake.

"It is said that the founder of the Dream Stream had the good fortune to follow the Sword Saint and receive guidance from that great man."

"But... in any case, you should be right. The method can be more subtle, such as suddenly increasing the length of the sword when swinging it."

"In that case, you'll need to improve your skills to do it, which will probably take more time." Yu Jian nodded.

This is also a little trick recorded in the swordsmanship notes. Given his current level of mastery of the Dream Sword, he would need to practice for at least another half hour to do it.

As it stands, the blade of the Dream Sword has limited hardness and is not suitable for use as a physical sword; it is best not to use it for parrying either.

However, its sharpness is quite remarkable, and with the guarantee of its ability to cut through iron, coupled with the fact that the Dream Sword's length can be varied, it should be able to be used in many ingenious ways.

In conclusion, although how to apply it in practice still needs to be considered, it is undoubtedly a good skill.

Flying on my sword, I'm in a great mood!
Although his expression didn't change visibly, his eyes and facial details clearly conveyed the message.

"It's Saturday today, what are everyone's plans?" Aizen Yurika asked as she served food to the children at the orphanage.

“According to the contract, I need to go to Steel House Company for a medical examination.” Tianyu Lingyin’s mood suddenly dropped.

"I see." Lily pondered for a moment.

"Myojun, if you have nothing else to do, please come with Suzune-chan."

“Okay.” Yu Jian nodded in agreement without hesitation.

Neither of them mentioned asking Amane Suzune to refuse the Steel House Company. Although the company had reduced the funding paid to the orphanage, the remaining amount could still solve their immediate problem.

Until a way to awaken the dean and completely solve the problem is found, it is necessary to temporarily play along with him.

Based on the known clues, the other party is probably a vulture that came to take advantage of the situation. Although it is not a good thing, it will not easily attack a living prey.

Ugh, my good mood has been ruined.

Yujian remained expressionless, but Baihexiang seemed to have noticed something and silently added a bowl of rice to his bowl, causing the boy's tightly furrowed brows to immediately relax.

As Tenyu Rinne watched the two interact, her expression turned strange. She had thought that a powerful figure like the world's greatest swordsman would be very difficult to get along with, perhaps with a withdrawn or arrogant personality, but the white-haired boy in front of her seemed... quite easy to understand.
Judging from Lily's posture, she has already mastered the method of communicating with her.

As expected of the fragrance of lilies!

Amane Rinne thought to herself.

"What about Lily? What are you planning to do during the day?" she asked in as casual a tone as possible.

"I need to go to the library; I need to look up some information."

"That's it."

"..." Hearing the conversation between the two, Yu Jian hesitated to speak.

Yesterday, he intended to invite Lily to the zoo. Don't misunderstand, it was just an attempt to practice "Birds and Beasts in Play" and he didn't have any other thoughts or unnecessary emotions.

However, given the sudden changes, it is clearly not appropriate to bring this up now.

Does the problem mean we can't go out and play with Lily Fragrance?
I'll remember this debt owed to the mastermind behind this.

Afterwards, the group decided to split up. As soon as they opened the door, they saw a familiar black sedan parked across the street.

"Be careful in everything you do," Lily whispered to the two of them.

"Hmm." Yu Jian nodded and walked towards the car first, followed closely by Tian Yu Lingyin.

As the two approached, the driver's side window automatically rolled down, revealing Yasuno Ryotaro's square face.

The other person was still wearing those broken sunglasses, with only a small piece of white tape stuck to the crack, subtly revealing a comical feeling.

Okatarou stared at Mikami for a while. At first, he seemed to want to raise his hand to take off his glasses and take a closer look, but in the end, he didn't say anything or stop him from accompanying Amane Suzune.

After getting into the car, the atmosphere inside was unusually heavy. Yujian couldn't help but raise his hand and touch the wakizashi hanging inside his coat.

Last night, Yurika modified the accessories for herself, so that she could hang the wakizashi under her arm like a concealed holster. But since it's forty centimeters long, it can only provide some concealment so that it's not too conspicuous when walking on the street.

After a while, Yu Jian got used to this way of carrying the sword, and could even use his upper arm to hold the scabbard and then draw the sword with one hand.

He just needs to be careful not to hurt his chin; he doesn't want to end up with a chin that looks like a butt with a groove in the middle.

The three of them did not speak to each other throughout the journey.

The vehicle quickly left the city center and headed to a newly developed industrial park near Tokyo Bay.

According to the news report, this area, known as the Seaside Reclamation Area, is near Odaiba, and much of the land in the area was created through land reclamation. It is said that a first and second artificial island will be built simultaneously in Kisarazu and Kawasaki to further alleviate the increasingly strained land demand in the Tokyo metropolitan area through further land reclamation.

According to the current governor of Tokyo, the plan will expand the entire metropolitan area into a megacity unlike any other.

Many of the companies in the new industrial park came here for this reason.

We hope to get a share of the profits from this unprecedented mega-project.

But... Yu Jian always felt that this plan sounded unreliable, not because of the plan itself, but because the people executing it were suspicious.

However, considering that the other world is currently in the 1980s or 90s, and the unique economic environment brought about by the rivalry between two powers has allowed the local government to consume a lot of scraps, perhaps it really could be done? But trusting insects is a ridiculous act in itself. While pondering this, the vehicle had already entered the industrial park.

so big!

Yu Jian and Tian Yu Lingyin exclaimed at the same time, and rolled down the car window to look at both sides. The buildings on both sides of the road were not the extremely tall and slender type of skyscrapers, but rather large-scale integrated factory buildings that covered a large area like low hills.

"We've arrived." Okatarou spoke for the first time today, his voice deep and resonant, evoking the image of a locomotive.

Yujian and Tianyu Lingyin got out of the car together, then looked up at the building in front of them.

As the headquarters of Steel House Company, this all-white building is the largest in terms of area and number of floors in the entire industrial park.

It's less like an office building and more like a multi-functional composite factory.

It is said that there are several underground levels.

"Welcome to Steel House Co., Ltd."

The automatic glass door opened, and the receptionist shouted with 200% enthusiasm.

They watched the three people enter the elevator before straightening up.

"Wow, you were so enthusiastic just now, was it because he's handsome?"

"No way! Well, there's a reason for that too."

"Is it really just a little bit?"

"Stop fooling around. Although I don't know who those two are, it was Mr. Anno who led the way for them."

"Hey, could they be someone important?"

"Who knows? It's best not to ask around. Our company has a rather scary reputation in this area; there are even strange rumors..."

As the elevator doors closed, the hushed conversations outside were also silenced.

Multiple enhancements have made Yu Jian's five senses sufficiently sharp, so that he can still hear clearly even when the two receptionists are far apart and speaking in hushed tones.

This guy seems to be more than just a driver and bodyguard.

Gazing at Yasuno Ryogatarou's broad and muscular back, Mitsurugi thought to himself.

At the same time, Yasuno Ryoka Taro was roaring in his heart.

Why don't I stand against the wall? Why do I habitually stand next to the floor buttons? Is it because I've been that lazy woman's bodyguard for too long?

Exposing your back to a world-class swordsman at close range is no different from having a gun pointed at the back of your head!
Muscles tensed, hair stood on end, and feeling the gaze from behind, Yasuno Ryotaro was actually filled with regret.

On the other side, Miken felt Tenyu Rinne grab his arm.

Although she had remained calm since getting on the bus, she doesn't seem so composed now.

After all, she was just a seventeen-year-old girl, the transmigrator thought.

It's fine.

Yu Jian winked at her, and then Tian Yu Lingyin immediately withdrew her hand and carefully took three steps back.

what?
Fortunately, we arrived at our destination. The elevator doors opened automatically, revealing an extremely spacious office.

The entire floor was almost completely opened up, with large, interconnected floor-to-ceiling windows visible from all four directions: east, south, west, and north.

The room was unusually empty.

"The president is waiting for you." After saying that, Yasuno Ryotaro took the elevator and left on his own, without any concern for the president's safety.

I just fought it not long ago.

What's the situation?
Yu Jian frowned slightly.

"Young men and women, welcome to the land of dreams."

A cheerful shout rang out from the darkness, and a figure with their back to the elevator door turned around, opened their arms, and gave a very flamboyant bow.

With her movement, the previously pitch-black room was instantly illuminated.

A huge decorative painting is painted on the ceiling and floor, filled with various wild plants and animals, showcasing a vibrant natural world.

At the same time, Yujian felt his eyes were dazzled.

That guy was actually wearing an all-gold bunny girl outfit today.

The extremely smooth composite fabric refracts light with a 'bling bling' effect, as if it is glowing itself.

What kind of fetish does this woman have?! Doesn't she have any aesthetic sense?
Yu Jian narrowed his eyes, inwardly cursing.

Thus began the second round of clashes between the white-haired, handsome young swordsman and the villainous female CEO of the high-tech, evil capital company, Steel House Corporation.

It started when I was blinded by the bright gold bunny girl outfit.
