Chapter 9: Chapter 9 Thank you, Ren
Chapter 9 Thank you, Ren
The same posture, the same angle of the sword, and even the strength of each muscle.
Kanao's movements were perfectly replicated on Ren!
"Flower's Breathinh-Fifth Form: Peonies of Futility (Hana no kokyo, Go no kata: Ada no Shakuyaku )"
Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang!
Nine slashes that were not weaker than kanao were executed from Ren's wooden sword!
The sword skills of the two collided, creating a large amount of smoke and dust.
The Kanao fell to the ground, and Ren was nowhere to be seen due to the smoke and dust.
At this moment, a wooden knife suddenly protruded from her side.
Kanao blocked the blow with a wooden sword like a reflex!
There was a clang, and Ren's arm was shaken to the point of numbness.
Their wooden swords both flew out.
At the same time, Ren stretched out his left hand like lightning.
Shadow Hand activates!
A hand that was about to emerge from the afterimage suddenly stabbed out and directly touched Kanao's chin.
The girl's pupils dilated instantly, as if she hadn't reacted yet.
"You lost."
Ren's voice came from her ears, and Kanao felt like she was waking up from a dream.
You have failed!
And she alsol failed in terms of reaction ability!
"Oh my god! Did Kanao actually lose?!" Kanzaki Aoi's eyes widened with disbelief on her face.
The three little girls rushed directly to Ren's side.
"Sister Kanao used the breathing technique just now and she didn't even hit brother Ren!"
"Isn't Brother Ren really not student of Lord shinobu?"
"Oh my god! Brother Ren, you are really amazing!"
Ren touched the girls' heads again, then raised his head and looked at Kanao: "Can you tell me why you left before?"
Ren's voice was very calm, and he did not deliberately raise his tone.
Otherwise, it will cause psychological pressure to the other party.
The eyes of three little ones were full of admiration. Brother Ren is really gentle!
Always consider other people's feelings.
Kanao was stunned when she heard this.
She didn't expect that Ren practiced with her just for this reason.
Kanao took out the coins as usual, but this time she was blocked by Ren.
Under the sunshine, Ren smiled like a spring breeze: "Actually, I still really want to hear Kanao's real voice."
"My real voice?" Kanao was stunned.
Unconsciously, she didn't realize that she had spoken.
Ren continued: "Yes, I used to have friends who often threw coins to make decisions for themselves, but the results were not very good."
Kanao blinked, as if expecting Ren to continue talking.
As a result, Ren spread her hands and said, "It turned out that her other friend fell in love with her coins so she finally robbed my friend of all her money!"
"Pfft!" Kanzaki Aoi in the side couldn't hold back and laughed.
Seeing everyone looking at her, she said awkwardly: "Ahem, I seem to have forgotten to dry the clothes. I'll leave first."
Kanao was very confused and obviously didn't understand Ren's cold joke.
But she knew that Ren seemed to want to hear her speak.
What should I say?
Kanao was coy on the spot, her face turned red due to nervousness.
"I can't speak..." After a while, five voices smaller than a mosquito popped out of her mouth.
After saying this, Kanao quickly lowered her little head.
It seemed that this sentence took all her courage.
Ren smiled, picked up the wooden knife on the ground and held it in his hand.
He said, "Let's play a game!"
Hearing this, Kanao raised her head and looked at Ren.
"You slash at me again. If I catch it, just listen to your inner voice and say a word to me. If I don't catch it, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Kanao's eyes flashed, seeming to be thinking.
She recalled the strength Ren had shown just now, and nodded lightly.
He turned around and wanted to get the wooden knife.
But Ren stopped her.
Kanao turned around, and a Nichirin sword with a flower jaw was handed to her.
Ren's voice sounded again: "You can use this."
Kanao was stunned again.
Isn't this my own Nichirin Sword?
Could it be that Ren wanted to fight him with the Nichirn Blade?
To be honest, Kanao was a little confused.
At the same time, she was also worried that she would accidentally chop Ren to death later.
Ren smiled and said: "It's okay. If you can't stop, I will avoid it. After all, I'm faster than you, right?"
Kanao thought for a while, but she was not good at thinking too much.
After thinking for a while, she suddenly slashed with his knife!
At this moment, the world in Ren's eyes seemed to slow down.
This is already the third time he has played against Kanao, and Ren has made significant progress every time he plays against Kanao.
Through the first two technical collisions, Ren has become a lot stronger.
And he found that Kanao's movements were getting slower every time.
wrong!
Kanao's speed did not slow down, but her own speed became faster.
But In Ren's eyes, Shanahu's movements had slowed down from the initial speed level.
He could even see the fluttering traces of white feathers on the girl's arms.
That's right, Ren once again analyzed Kanao's attack trajectory, and it was even faster than before!
The next moment, Ren moved.
With the force of the muscles of his right arm, the wooden sword blocked and moved upward!
But since the blade was made of wood, it was quickly cut off by Kanaihu's Nichirin Sword!
But the next moment Ren stretched out his right hand again.
Shadowless hand!
The potential energy of Kanao's sword swing was also exhausted at the same moment.
The index finger and middle finger stretched out like lightning, and the blade emitting cold light landed steadily on Ren's fingertips!
This knife was caught by Ren with his bare hands!
The light of the sword flickered, and Ren's smiling face was reflected in the Nichirin blade.
From the start to the end, Ren's movements were smooth without any pause.
It was as if Kanao was cooperating with Ren's antics and with one move, it turned into an exhibition match!
The visual impact of this scene is really strong.
There was even a brief silence.
Everyone opened their mouths.
The three little girls were stunned when they saw Ren's wooden knife breaking.
Kanzaki Aoi also looked panicked.
But then,
what did they see?
Ren actually caught Kanao's Nichirin sword with his bare hands!
Kanao stared at all this in confusion, wondering why Ren could hold her Nichirin sword with his bare hands.
This scene broke the perception she had built in her mind.
Ren smiled and said, "Look, my hands can do things that the wooden knife cannot do. What does this mean?"
Kanao was silent and didn't speak.
Ren smiled and said: "It means that the wooden sword is just a foreign object after all, just like the Nichirin sword in your hand. It is so powerful because of you, but we ourselves are a treasure house, aren't we?"
"Kanao, I won. According to the agreement, you should say a word to me."
"Remember to listen to your inner voice!"
Ren spoke calmly, and when the words fell into the girl's ears, her face immediately turned red.
"I..." Kanao's mouth squirmed, and she was quite tangled in her heart.
Ren continued to encourage: "It's okay, it doesn't matter if you don't think so much."
The sun shone on Ren's face, making his features particularly warm.
"After all, Kanao is very cute."
Bang~bang~bang~
Something seemed to beat in Shanahu's heart. This was the first time in many years.
T/N
(Ohohoho,I know where this is going.Seems like the new guy wants the most beautiful flower.
Atleast for a moment I feel sorry for a kind soul-its okey Tanjiro in this universe you deserve better)
Just like when she was abused by her parents as a child, the sound of her heart breaking was very vivid.
But it's different,this time her heart was beating for another emotion.Am this emotional rope was reconnected by this young man.
[IN THIS FANFIC WE WILL SEE MORE ABOUT KANAO]

You-Know
Kanao lived an impoverished lifestyle before she was taken in by Kanae Kocho and Shinobu Kocho. Her parents were incredibly abusive towards her and her siblings, beating them and drowning them if they did anything they disliked. Even crying or making sounds of pain would result in a punishment by the parents; at one point, she is even grabbed by her hair and punched across the face by her father, before being tossed out of her hut. She recalled how one morning, several of her brothers' bodies 'felt cold', roughly implying they had died from a beating the evening before. She broke psychologically because of this, becoming an empty shell who was eventually sold off into slavery.
As she was being led off, tied around the waist by a rope held by her purchaser, they were approached by the Kocho sisters. After confirming she was a slave, Shinobu distracted the man by flinging money in the air. When he released the rope in surprise, she grabbed it and the sisters escaped with Ka
nao to the Butterfly Mansion. Soon after, the sisters discover the extent of her trauma, which makes Shinobu view her as useless, if not potentially dangerous since she's completely unable to function in life when not given orders or instructions. Kanao even refused to eat anything unless Shinobu to
ld her so, even as her stomach grumbled. Kanae, unperturbed, gives Kanao a coin and instructed her to flip it if she ever needs help making a decision.
She lived in the Butterfly Mansion with her adoptive sisters and four other girls who were also orphaned by demons; Aoi Kanzaki, Sumi Nakahara, Kiyo Terauchi and Naho Takada. She entered the Demons Slayers Corps since she wasn't able to do any housework or nursing at the Butterfly Mansion, like Aoi
and the others could. Kanae and Shinobu didn't condone it, but Kanao learned the Flower Breathing just by watching them, and she took the selection exams without their permission.
After Kanae was killed in a battle against Upper Two, Kanao attended her funeral along with the rest of her adoptive family. Although she was disturbed by her own inability to cry at her beloved sister's death, nobody judged her for it.
Kanao's painful childhood caused her to have difficulty thinking for herself. She would usually freeze up and sweat when asked about what she thought. Because of this, she was told to only think about slicing Demons' necks during battle.
Whenever Kanao sees a Demon Slayer that's kind to her die in battle, anger builds up inside her. She was unaware of this fact since, as Tanjiro Kamado stated, the voice in her heart was too small.
