After issuing the invitation, Shinobu was also a little uneasy inside.
In the next moment, brilliant light burst forth in the void, silently outlining a gate.
Various mystical symbols adorned the gate.
This was a mystical creation beyond Shinobu’s imagination.
Then, the gate opened wide, and a silver-haired young man strolled out from within.
Shinobu was a little stunned, not only by the way he appeared, but also by Nathan himself— A face of extraordinary handsomeness, his well-tailored suit accentuating his upright posture, he looked just like a noble young master stepping out of a painting.
Nathan smiled at her: “I am Nathan Animusphere.
It’s a pleasure to meet you, beautiful young lady.” “Hello, Mr.
Nathan.
My name is Shinobu, the master of the Butterfly Mansion, and one of the [Hashira] of the Demon Slayer Corps.” Shinobu also introduced herself.
By now, she had recovered from her earlier surprise and was sizing up Nathan.
Nathan lightly clenched his hand, having already received feedback from the celestial bodies of this world.
At least as far as the solar system was concerned, there was no difference from the Nasuverse World, and he could easily unleash his full power.
Suddenly, Nathan’s gaze fell upon Shinobu and paused.
“You have an older sister, right?
Named Kocho Kanae.” Nathan’s words put Shinobu on guard: “What are you trying to say?” “Nothing much.
As a first meeting gift, let me give you something.” Nathan flicked his finger, instantly casting a small section of sorcery, which landed beside Shinobu.
Then, he took out a wooden plaque, made of locust wood.
A faint light glowed from the center, illuminating this room.
Then, Shinobu saw the figure beside her, who was seventy percent similar to her, but more mature: “Nee-san?!” Shinobu was extremely shocked.
The figure appearing beside her was none other than her supposedly deceased sister, Kocho Kanae.
“Shinobu?
You can see me?” Kanae was also pleasantly surprised.
She reached out her hand, wanting to touch Shinobu, but it passed right through her.
Shinobu whipped her head around: “Could this be…” “This is not a Blood Demon Art, just a simple necromancy spell.
Although I specialize in Astromancy, I can still manage such simple spells.” Nathan pointed at Kanae.
“If you have any doubts about her identity, why not chat with her in person, how about that?” Nathan walked to the door and closed it: “I won’t disturb your sisterly reunion.” It was indeed the real Kanae.
Even before his reincarnation, when watching the anime, Nathan had noticed that in the world of Demon Slayer, people who died could still exist as spirits.
For example, at the very beginning, when Tanjiro was learning swordsmanship from Urokodaki, the long-deceased Sabito and Makomo came to guide him.
He did practical combat training with Sabito during the day, and trained in Breathing Techniques under Makomo’s guidance at night.
He trained like this for half a year before he could cut through the boulder.
Nathan didn’t know why they could linger on this earth as spirits, and not even fear sunlight.
But he wasn’t interested in delving into it further.
Right now, he was more interested in Demons.
Unfortunately, there were no Demons in the Butterfly Mansion.
While Nathan was wandering around here, light footsteps came from behind… it was Shinobu catching up.
“Have you confirmed her identity?” “Yes.
I apologize for my earlier suspicions.” Shinobu bowed deeply to Nathan.
Just standing in the sunlight was enough to rule out the possibility of him being a Demon.
“And also, I really don’t know how to thank you enough for allowing me to see my sister again.” Nathan rubbed his chin: “Well then, how about using yourself to thank me?” “Ehh?!!” Obviously, this answer was unexpected for Shinobu, causing her to cry out in surprise.
Kanae, standing beside her, snickered: “I think that’s a great idea.
Mr.
Nathan is so handsome, even I’m a little tempted, though I’m just a ghost.” “Actually, I don’t mind ghosts either, because I can touch the physical form of spirits.” Nathan’s words caught Kanae off guard.
This time, it was her turn to start panicking.
Shinobu also said seriously from the side: “Then I’ll leave my elder sister in your care.” “Shinobu, are you just selling off your elder sister like that?” Kanae wanted to tap her head, but unfortunately, she couldn’t touch Shinobu.
After laughing and joking for a while, Nathan said: “Could you provide me with the Breathing Techniques and a Nichirin Blade?
I’m very interested in these two things.” “No problem.
These are things you can get just by joining the Demon Slayer Corps anyway.” The Butterfly Mansion already had materials on the Breathing Techniques.
They weren’t afraid of others learning them…
in fact, they hoped more people would learn.
As for the Nichirin Blade, it needed to be custom-made.
However, Shinobu directly gave Nathan her own sword and Kanae’s remaining sword for him to study.
Kanae looked at her own Nichirin Blade and quipped: “Even though I’m right here, I’m seeing my own memento.
What a complicated feeling.” “That’s because you’re already dead anyway, Nee-san.” Shinobu’s inner gloom had dissipated, and her personality had become a bit more lively.
“There’s nothing special about the sword itself…
the special thing is the ore.” Nathan rubbed Shinobu’s sword and flicked the blade.
“This stores a faint amount of sunlight.
I suppose this is the key to killing Demons.” Shinobu nodded: “Yes.
Nichirin Blades are made from Scarlet Crimson Iron Sand and Scarlet Crimson Ore.
Both materials can store sunlight.
Also, the Nichirin Blade changes color according to the user’s attribute.” “I’m curious what color the blade would turn if you held it, Mr.
Nathan.” Nathan gripped the hilt.
In the next moment, a gorgeous light appeared on the blade, like the refracted colors in a kaleidoscope.
Then, a silver-white color emerged, covering all the other lights.
“It’s beautiful.” Shinobu let out an admiring sigh.
“It suits you well, Mr.
Nathan.
A very noble appearance.” “That’s probably because I have quite a few attributes.” Nathan said, “From a mystical standpoint, my body contains seven common attributes, and above those seven is pure light.” “Mysticism?” Shinobu said, “I’ve been very curious, Mr.
Nathan.
What exactly is the nature of your power?
It’s as if you’re not from our world.” “I’m not from this world to begin with.” Nathan said, “I come from a world called Nasuverse, and I am a Magus.
I came to this world through the forum in your mind.” Shinobu pondered this: “So that thing called the [Dimensional Forum] is not your creation?” “Of course not.” Nathan shrugged.
“I don’t have that kind of ability.” He put down the book he was holding, which contained materials on the Breathing Techniques and their corresponding sword forms.
Nathan had memorized them all.
