Having lived here for a week, Chu Yang was very familiar with every plant and tree in the Butterfly House and could find the Butterfly House's canteen without anyone leading him.

Makomo, with both legs in casts, sat alone at the dining table.

Upon seeing Chu Yang, a light suddenly shone in her eyes.

"Do you want to sit here?" Makomo stared at Chu Yang with wide eyes, as if pleading.

Chu Yang clicked his tongue and walked over reluctantly. Even after spending seven days with the girl at Tengxi Mountain, his anger at being treated like a pervert by the girl had not been completely dispelled.

In reality, the two didn't actually spend seven days together.

Instead, Zhen Gu drifted in and out of sleep on Chu Yang's back, spending the next seven days in a daze.

Chu Yang didn't even say a word to her, busy killing ghosts everywhere. Makomo was also too embarrassed to talk to Chu Yang, because she had misunderstood him and thought he was a bad guy. So the two oddballs really didn't speak to each other for seven whole days.

Until the selection ended, Makomo was "hidden" and taken to the Butterfly House.

"How is it?" Chu Yang sat down next to her casually, glanced at her leg injury, and felt that it seemed a bit serious.

"Thank goodness, Lady Kanae said that if I receive proper treatment, my mobility won't be affected." Makomo, who had escaped death, was overjoyed, her eyes curving into crescents. "If you had come any later, I might have really been crippled."

"Not bad." Chu Yang nodded, relieved, and then asked:

When will you expect to fully recover?

Makomo's smile faded slightly, but she still tried her best to smile and said, "The cast can be removed in three months, but you will need to undergo another month of rehabilitation training to fully regain your mobility."

"I never imagined that my first four months as a member would be spent in the Butterfly Mansion..."

At this point, Makomo suddenly looked at Chu Yang as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

"You don't expect me to do anything troublesome for you, do you?" Chu Yang looked at her warily.

Makomo, whose thoughts had been guessed, blushed deeply, her face flushing red from her ears down to her neck. She quickly waved her hand shyly and said, "I'm sorry, it's okay if you don't want to."

Chu Yang, who always disliked trouble, nodded and said, "I really don't want to."

Makomo's face turned bright red, her voice grew softer and softer, like a mosquito buzzing, until she finally buried her head in her hands.

"Bullying girls is not something a real man should do!"

Kanae suddenly appeared beside the two.

He looked at Chu Yang with disdain and hit Chu Yang's head hard with the spoon in his hand.

The sound was quite loud, but Chu Yang didn't feel any pain at all, probably because he was too thick-skinned.

Shinobu Kocho also wanted to learn from her older sister and tap Chu Yang on the head.

As a result, Chu Yang snatched the spoon from her and casually tapped her on the head, giving her a big bump.

"Wah!!" The pained butterfly hugged her sister tightly, her eyes filled with tears, and glared fiercely at Chu Yang.

Kanae found their childishness both amusing and exasperating.

"What's wrong with listening to someone's request? It's not like it'll hurt you." Shinobu Kocho said angrily, clutching her forehead.

"Go ahead and say it," Chu Yang said with a slight smile, feeling quite pleased.

"I just wanted to ask you to pass on a message to Mr. Linlong so that he can rest assured, and also..." Makomo bit her lip and said softly, "I don't know if I should tell him about the Hand Demon."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yang also became solemn.

Those dead children have probably become a deep sorrow for Urokodaki Sakonji.

Kanae sighed softly. What she feared most was not facing powerful demons, but rather Urokodaki Sakonji's current predicament.

Anyone would be devastated if they knew that the warding-off-misfortune masks they kindly gave to their disciples would ultimately become their death warrants.

“He has the right to know. As for whether he can let it go, that’s his own business.” Chu Yang decided to go in place of Makomo. Anyway, he wasn’t in a hurry to return to the temple, and the task of killing ghosts could come down at any time.

Finally, Makomo told Chu Yang the location of Mount Sagiri, and after finishing dinner, he decided to rush there overnight, which Kanae couldn't stop him from doing.

Kanae complained, "Why is this person like a cow?"

Shinobu Kocho nodded repeatedly, planning to flick that head back next time.

Chapter 64 The Charcoal Seller

64.

Because he was carrying a terrifying horse-slaying sword, Chu Yang was unable to use any means of transportation, and it was even inconvenient for him to enter towns. He could only choose to travel in the wilderness.

The moonlight didn't illuminate many places in the wild, and Chu Yang didn't bring any lanterns or other lighting equipment, so he could only cast an illumination spell to make his hands glow.

From a distance, Chu Yang's hands looked like car headlights, swaying back and forth in the darkness as he swung his arms, which was somewhat terrifying.

"When will you learn the Unseen Stretch Charm? It's so inconvenient to carry a big sword around all day. Next time we meet, I must remind the top student to choose some useful spells first."

Most of the spells in the Magic Chu Yang Society are basic, but they are still quite useful.

For example, the Fire Charm can be used to start a fire in the wild, which is a very important survival skill.

The Cleansing Mantra can be used to clean items and even affect people, while the Water and Fire Immunity Mantra makes the target waterproof and fireproof. Both are essential for traveling.

Ankexiao can clear the trachea, and the splint can relieve pain. The bandage and splint can fix the injury, which can be life-saving in critical moments.

However, because he lacked a magic wand, Chu Yang from other worlds was unable to control his magic power effectively, which often led to minor accidents, such as setting fire to mountains.

Chu Yang had similar experiences in both the One Piece and Naruto worlds.

Therefore, they do not easily use spells other than those that are particularly safe.

With the lighting, Chu Yang traveled very quickly. In addition, the island nation itself is not very large. Two days later, Chu Yang arrived at the Sagiri Mountain area and found a small wooden house in the mountains.

Mr. Linlong, who was chopping wood, sensed a human presence and quickly returned to the house. He put on his mask and came out to see Chu Yang carrying a horse-slaying sword walking towards him.

The boy who walked slowly was extremely imposing, making Rintaru Sakonji feel a little nervous. If he hadn't been able to smell the ghost on the boy, he would have been ready to draw his sword.

"Is this Mr. Linlong?"

Upon hearing the boy call out his name, Urokodaki Sakonji confirmed that the other person was indeed a member of the Demon Slayer Corps and answered loudly with relief, "That's me."

Chu Yang strode over and said, "I have a letter here that Zhen Gu asked me to give to you."

Urokodaki Sakonji was startled, thinking it was bad news, and his breathing became rapid. "What happened to her?"

Seeing how nervous he was, Chu Yang realized he had misunderstood and immediately explained, "She was injured during the final selection process and is currently recuperating at the Butterfly House. She will probably need to rest for a while. She was afraid you would worry, so she asked me to bring you a letter."

Upon hearing this, Urokodaki Sakonji breathed a sigh of relief.

His tense body relaxed, and he smiled, saying, "Thank you for your help, young man."

Chu Yang handed Makomo's handwritten letter to Urokodaki Sakonji and replied politely, "It's no trouble at all. I'm participating in the final selection with her, so we're teammates. This little favor is nothing."

If Shinobu Kocho were here, she would definitely criticize Chu Yang for being hypocritical, since he seemed unwilling to help before.

"Thank you." Urokodaki Sakonji nodded, and a strange light flashed in his eyes after hearing that Chu Yang was also a newcomer participating in the final selection.

Urokodaki Sakonji opened the envelope and began reading the letter Makomo had written to him. Chu Yang knew this might be a long process, and Urokodaki Sakonji's psychological changes could fill nearly ten thousand words.

He acted as if he were a familiar guest, walking over to the hut, lifting the lid of the water vat, and scooping up large mouthfuls of water with a wooden ladle.

Just as Chu Yang, who had drunk half his fill, was about to leave, his raven suddenly flew over, stood on the edge of the water vat, and began to speak in human language, conveying Chu Yang's first mission.

Perhaps startled by the crows' cries, Urokodaki Sakonji carefully put away the envelope and turned to Chu Yang, saying, "I was going to ask you to stay and have something to eat, but for us, nothing is more important than the mission, even if the sky falls. I've prepared some dry rations for you to take on the road."

"No need for that. I'm very good at hunting in the wild, so I don't lack food..." Chu Yang politely declined Urokodaki Sakonji's offer.

"Take this with you, consider it a small token of my appreciation." In the letter, Makomo explained the whole story clearly, and Urokodaki Sakonji knew that it was this young man who had killed the Hand Demon, allowing the souls of those dead children to be freed.

Chu Yang did not refuse again. After sincerely thanking Linlong Zuojinji, he readily accepted the food prepared for him.

So Chu Yang, who had just delivered the message, rushed off to the area where ghosts were said to be present.

Watching Chu Yang's departing figure, Linlong Sakonji stood there blankly for a long time without moving an inch, lost in thought.

Several days later, Chu Yang arrived at a remote town according to the location given by the raven. In order not to cause panic, Chu Yang hid the horse-slaying sword in the nearby forest before entering the town.

However, to be fair, even without the Horse-Slaying Saber, Chu Yang could still kill evil spirits, but it would be a bit troublesome. Without the Scarlet Ape Ore to suppress the regeneration ability of the evil spirits, he would easily be dragged into a protracted battle.

Even a centipede that dies with a hundred legs doesn't fall down easily; although it poses no threat to Chu Yang, it's disgusting enough.

Without the sword, Chu Yang's demeanor instantly transformed from that of a psychopathic killer into that of a sporty, sunny young man, his muscular arms bulging as he put on his clothes.

Along the way, many passersby had been eyeing Chu Yang, including older sisters and younger sisters.

Unfortunately, Chu Yang's attention was completely focused on investigating the ghost. Unable to smell anything, Chu Yang tried to expand the range of his Observation Haki to see if he could hear any clues.

"Hey! Tanjuro, we need some charcoal! Thanks for fixing my chair last time."

"Tanjuro, I also need some charcoal at my shop. Next time you come, could you bring some wild game? I'll pay a high price for it."

"Tanjuro, I forgot to pay you for the goods last time, I'll make it up to you today."

No sooner had Chu Yang activated his Observation Haki than a name kept popping into his mind!

Tanjuro!

This person seems to be quite popular.

Wherever he goes, people greet him and try to buy things from him.
