Demon Capital Slayer

Chapter 83 The Spirit Shaman
"This is our second meeting, isn't it?"

Motoko Hideya snapped her fingers, a gesture that seemed familiar to Mitsurugi.

At the time, I just thought it looked cool, but when others copied my pose, I felt a strange sense of shame.

No, as long as I'm not embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed.

The white-haired young swordsman stood there with a cold expression.

Then, a bunch of round robots rolled out from all corners, shouting in a stereotypical electronic voice.

"Welcome, welcome, warm welcome."

"Welcome, welcome, warm welcome."

boom!
The little robot suddenly popped its upper half of its head off.

Yu Jian raised an eyebrow, his intuition sensing no danger, and his logical judgment also confirmed it.

Sure enough, all that sprayed out were confetti and confetti. Even the sound from earlier was just the noise from the compressed air tank.

Miken narrowed his eyes, and Tenyu Rinne made the same expression.

The two were in complete sync at that moment.

That guy did it on purpose.

"Hahaha." Motoko Hideya laughed twice, then waved her hand to remotely control the little robot to roll back to its original position.

Literally, these creatures' usual mode of movement is to roll their spherical bodies on the ground; they have no other limbs capable of performing any other actions, leaving one wondering what their purpose was in creating such a product.

"What do you think of this latest trendy toy? Is it appealing from a young person's perspective?" Motoko Hideya asked familiarly as she stepped forward.

"..." Yu Jian wanted to say that this was a piece of trendy trash, but since it wasn't his company that would suffer losses, he just blurted it out.

"If we add a modified interface and simulated battle function, such as spinning like tops and colliding with each other, and the first one to fall off the ring loses, then some people might be interested."

"Like a competitive sport? Oh, I didn't expect you to have some talent in the business world. I'm increasingly keen to have you join our company."

Yu Jian shook his head, not taking those words seriously.

Amane Rinne stepped forward and blocked his way.

"I'm here according to the contract." She looked at the woman who was always smiling, but her vigilance was at its highest level.

Damn it, does this old woman want to trick Lily's friend? As her best friend and nemesis, I can't just stand by and watch this happen!

Amane Suzune began to roar in her heart, which was outwardly expressed by widening her eyes and trying her best to put on a fierce expression.

but……

"Oh, don't make that stray cat face. I don't have any bad intentions. Even if I did before, I wouldn't dare to now."

Motoko waved her hand, completely ignoring Suzune Amane's attitude, and instead finding her quite cute.

"Today we'll mainly check your physical condition, record relevant data, and then do some preliminary testing of the new equipment, the kind that's safe even for children."

"Anyway, hurry up and change into the special uniform we prepared for you; you'll need it for the test later."

With a smile, Motoko pointed to the side, where a mobile dressing room made of detachable brackets and curtains had been set up in advance.

After hesitating for a moment, Yu Jian gave a barely perceptible nod to indicate that she would keep an eye on him before stepping into the changing room.

"Alright, alright, swordsman over here, stop with your long face and sit down for a cup of tea."

Motoko Hideya pointed to the pure black leather sofa next to her, and then returned to her large desk.

Upon seeing her pick up a long wooden cane, Yujian immediately turned his attention to her.

The wooden cane is very ornate, wrapped with various colorful silk threads and strips of cloth, with smooth fur covering the middle section and various bone ornaments hanging from the top.

Most importantly, it exudes a well-ordered yet vibrant aura of the Netherworld.

"Oh, it seems you noticed. How about you come and meet my friends?"

After saying that, without waiting for Miken to speak, Motoko shook her wooden cane, making a series of crisp sounds.

"Everyone, come out and greet the guests."

Five beams of light leaped from the wooden staff, landing on the ground and transforming into five animal-shaped spirits.

They are a brown porcupine, a silver otter, a white rabbit, a green snake, and the largest blue wolf.

As soon as the otters, rabbits, and snakes appeared, they hid behind Motoko Steel House and looked at Mitsurugi with very wary eyes.

The wolf and porcupine arched their backs, blocking their owner's path. I don't think I did anything...

What are they afraid of?
Yu Jian was puzzled by this. He didn't sense any danger, but he was rather intrigued by the novelty of seeing an animal spirit for the first time.

"Hmm, it seems that you, Sword Master, don't recognize your own scent? Are you a newbie?" Motoko Hagane asked with a smile.

In fact, she was quite surprised herself.

In just one night, the young swordsman's aura returned to calm, and he seemed to have transformed from a gleaming sword into a silent black sword lying in its sheath.

If it weren't for the fact that the animal spirits summoned by the shaman are far more perceptive than ordinary people or even ordinary animals, most people would not have noticed that hidden terrifying power.

This transformation is truly astounding.

"I have a name."

Yu Jian let out a soft breath, his expression turning as cold and hard as steel, making it impossible to read any information from him.

Just as Lily said, felines will expose their soft bellies to their mates.

But against other things, all that remains are sharp claws.

"May I ask your honorable name?" Motoko Hideya squinted her eyes and tapped her wooden cane lightly with her fingers. This time, she actually used elegant Chinese.

In fact, she had investigated the other party's background long ago, and quickly found his name by following the two clues of white hair and uniform. Then... the investigation was completely blocked by an invisible Great Wall with no end in sight.

Just as the dove in the scripture demands of the ocean: 'You may come this far, but not beyond. Your arrogant surges must cease here.'

“Yu Jianming.” Yu Jian also switched to Chinese.

“A very rare surname.” Motoko Hideya gripped her wooden cane tightly.

She slowly walked to Yu Jian's side, leaned down and stared into his eyes, where a golden halo shone around the iris.

"These eyes are just like those of the messenger of the Eternal Heaven."

"Are you a shaman?" Yu Jian asked directly.

"It's just a little bit related." Motoko Hideya shook her head.

"Did you know? This small place called Sun Island has stagnated for many years, but the outside world is developing every minute and every second."

"I was born with a lot of inspiration, but I kept running into obstacles on the island. Later, I offended some troublesome guys and had to slink away." Despite saying this, the smile on her face remained unchanged, clearly indicating that she had completely moved on from that terrible past.

"After that, I traveled to many places, went deep into the grasslands, and climbed snow-capped mountains, until I unexpectedly received the inheritance in Siberia. It was a selfless inheritance that asked for nothing in return."

"The old woman's only request was that the successor be a good person."

"Oh, did you do it?" Yu Jian suddenly asked.

“If I want to, I can do it.” Motoko Hideya sat sideways on the armrest of the sofa, looking at the white-haired boy who was close to her with a strange expression.

"Don't be so wary, maybe we can become friends."

“Sun Island is nothing but a dry well that is gradually drying up, while a genius like you deserves better, just as the strongest eagle on the grassland should occupy the widest hunting ground.” The woman spoke words full of seduction.

"I'm all changed!" Tianyu Lingyin's voice suddenly interrupted her.

Yu Jian looked up and saw a face so red it looked like it was burning up.

"What kind of clothes have you prepared? They're so shameless!"

Tianyu Lingyin's voice was trembling. At this moment, she used her left hand to block and her right hand to shield, but the area that needed to be covered was too large, and her two small hands could not cover it at all.

"Is your company legitimate?" Yu Jian muttered to himself.

At this moment, Senior Tianyu is wearing a so-called special 'uniform' that looks very much like a bunny girl outfit.

She wore a rabbit ear headband covered in sensors, and her outfit was a bodysuit with a low-visibility color contrast between matte black and dark gray, giving it a futuristic feel without overly emphasizing her figure. However, long cutouts on the sides of her limbs exposed her fair arms and long legs to the light, making her look a little...sexy?

It's that kind of subtle sexiness.

It has a bit of color, but not much.

It's hard to describe exactly, but Yujian frowned as he watched.

Hmm, he watched with a frown, observing seriously and critically.

"Clap clap clap." Motoko Hideya clapped her hands vigorously.

"Bravo!" (Great! Cheers!)
