“Hehe, boy, good eyesight.”
“This is a demon blade called ‘Oni Tōru.'”
The boss laughed
Oni Tōru???
A demon blade?
After hearing this, Yaoyorozu Momo’s expression changed.
The demon blade Oni Tōru was a legendary cursed blade.
Absolutely ominous!
But the knives this boss had sold earlier were so shoddy?
This blade might not be genuine, but she could feel an extremely uncomfortable aura coming from it.
It was as if an ancient ferocious beast were hidden within the blade.
“Young man, it’s not that I don’t have a good blade, but this [Oni Tōru] isn’t something an ordinary person can wield.” The boss said in a deep voice
“Is that so?” Kurosaki Ichigo said indifferently, then reached out and grabbed Oni Tōru directly.
“Don’t…” Kurosaki Ichigo moved so quickly that the boss didn’t even have time to warn him.
The moment Kurosaki Ichigo grasped the demon blade, Yaoyorozu Momo suddenly became nervous.
She felt a violent aura burst from Kurosaki Ichigo’s body, his eyes turning scarlet as if he had been possessed by a demon.
“Ichigo, throw it away!” Yaoyorozu Momo hurriedly said
“Young man, you…” The boss was also stunned.
The reason he had taken out the demon blade Oni Tōru was actually because he hoped that this troublesome kid wouldn’t accuse his store of selling fake and shoddy products after leaving.
As for the boss himself, he never expected Kurosaki Ichigo to have the guts to actually hold the blade.
Before Kurosaki Ichigo, several young talents had seen Oni Tōru, but in the end, they had all been frightened by its terrifying aura and chosen to give up.
“Haha.” Kurosaki Ichigo felt the powerful spiritual energy surging into his mind, attempting to erode his will, and couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Compete with willpower?
Against the will of a man who had walked through the hell of Asura?
Kurosaki Ichigo, who cultivated under hypergravity, honed his will every single day.
If he didn’t train until he could no longer move, he wouldn’t rest!!!
Death?
That wasn’t enough!!!
Kurosaki Ichigo didn’t have the slightest trace of fear in his heart.
Instead, his body was filled with fighting spirit.
His aura surged like a wave, fierce and savage like a beast!
In an instant, the violent aura around Kurosaki Ichigo gradually subsided.
His scarlet eyes also returned to normal.
“Ichigo!” Yaoyorozu Momo called out tearfully.
Kurosaki Ichigo smiled slightly and said, “Sister, I’m fine.”
“Mm-hmm.” Yaoyorozu Momo stepped into Kurosaki Ichigo’s arms.
What had happened just now was truly terrifying, as if her younger brother were about to be devoured by a demon.
Even now, Yaoyorozu Momo still felt shaken.
“Junior… You…” At this moment, the boss was completely stunned after seeing Kurosaki Ichigo suppress the demon blade’s aura through sheer willpower.
“Hahaha, Boss, it really is a good blade.” Kurosaki Ichigo smiled playfully and said, “Sister, pay.”
“Mm.” Yaoyorozu Momo nodded.
The siblings had shared their money two years ago, and after Kurosaki Ichigo earned money from [Underground Black Fist], he transferred it all into Yaoyorozu Momo’s account after returning home.
“Uncle, I didn’t expect you to have something this good.” Yaoyorozu Momo was happier than Kurosaki Ichigo himself that her brother had found a blade he liked.
“How much?”
The boss pondered for a moment before saying firmly, “I’ll give it to you!”
Huh???
After hearing the boss’s words, Yaoyorozu Momo and Kurosaki Ichigo were both stunned.
They looked at the shopkeeper in front of them in disbelief.
“Let’s go!” The boss turned around and said
“Wait, Uncle.
Even if you’re giving this blade to my brother, he did damage those other knives.
Knowing that it wasn’t easy for the boss to run a business, she directly handed him a check for 20 million yen before leaving hand in hand with Kurosaki Ichigo….
…..
Seeing the 20-million-yen check, the boss was completely stunned.
Although the demon blade was priceless, the two blades that little monster had broken were worth at most 50,000 yen….
This was far too much….
Just as the boss was standing there in a daze, the plump proprietress of the shop returned.
The proprietress immediately noticed that the box containing Oni Tōru was empty and asked in surprise, “That ominous thing was sold?”
“No… I gave it away for free.” The boss said expressionlessly
“What?!”
“You good-for-nothing!”
The proprietress immediately became furious.
“What’s wrong with a man entrusting his dreams to another man?” The boss’s expression suddenly became serious as he spoke
The proprietress was stunned.
Her husband, who was usually obedient to her, had unexpectedly become so serious.
The proprietress smiled lightly and said, “Fine.
Go sweep the floor.”
“Mm.” The boss nodded obediently, then handed the 20-million-yen check to his wife.
“This is?” The proprietress asked curiously
“Money from selling the other knives.” The boss said
“Haha, is that so?” The proprietress was stunned for a moment before smiling.
Then, the usually gentle boss became the one to say, “Honey, you’re tired today.
Let me sweep the floor.”
“I can do it.” The boss refused.
Then the scene from his youth surfaced in his mind.
Back then, he had practiced swordsmanship day and night, but because his talent was too poor, he had been driven out by his master….
The boss looked up at the sky and muttered, “Boy, keep going!!!”
