章節 9: calm before the storm
------ the next day
"Tomioka-san, is it really enough to bring so much water?"
"Tomioka-san, how about getting some more blankets?"
"Tomioka-san, let's get a spare sword. In case something happens to your katana."
"Be quiet. It's not my first time on a mission."
Yuto was of course aware of such simple information, but what worried him was that this was the first time that Tomioka had been so close to meeting Muzan.
Yuto's plan was that if they did meet Muzan, he would quietly run away while Tomioka and Muzan fought.
"Besides, haven't we lingered too long? Should we get going?"
Tomioka really has a talent for scaring people with her eyes. But Yuto was not a human. Moreover, his brain didn't work like ordinary humans.
At this moment sakonji entered the wooden house and told Yuto that he had to go to the top of the mountain.
"I know this is important training, but if we delay our mission, it could cost many people their lives."
The veins in Sakonji's forehead popped out and he wondered why Yuto was so absorbed. He was acting as if the mission had been given to him from the beginning.
"There's a demon slaying sword made for you on top of the big rock at the top of the mountain. Go get it. If you can't remove it, you're not going on this mission."
Yuto was going to protest at first, but when he realized that he could dismantle the sword using his blood art, which helped him manipulate his blood into all sorts of shapes, he said nothing and quickly ran to the top of the mountain.
When Yuto left the room, Sakonji warned his student in a much deeper tone.
"Tomioka you should be careful about that boy."
When Tomioka heard his master warn him about Yuto, he dismissed the idea that his master was being manipulated by Yuto.
"Don't worry master, I am much stronger than him. I'm sure I can take care of him if there's a problem."
"Wrong. It's not the dangers from him that you have to be careful about. You need to be careful about the things that can happen to him. As I listened to his poems I was reminded of a note written by a famous poet at the end of one of his poems. He said that some poets are not really poets but crazy people. When some people reach the final stage of insanity, they suddenly calm down and become poets."
"And when I got to know Yuto, I began to think that he might be right. Yuto's soul is like a sea before a storm that doesn't move at all, but I don't think his soul is as big as a sea, but rather as small as a glass of water. If someone were to accidentally touch this glass, it could cause a storm to start. Do you understand what I mean?"
Tomioka hid his surprise at his master's question and told him that he could trust him.
"If you see clouds over the sea of his soul, do not hesitate to neutralize him and bring him back here. And remember that he is a true immortal with no weaknesses. Even though he is weak, if you try to kill him or think you have killed him, he will disappear when he heals again."

Meanwhile, Yuto had made it to the top of the mountain, gasping for breath. He reached out to pick up the katana with the red handle that was stuck in the rock in front of him.
And as expected, the katana didn't come out the first time because it was stuck so hard.
After Yuto started to forcefully push the katana back and forth, a small gap appeared on the edge of the rock where the katana was stuck. Before Yuto dripped his blood there, he opened the system screen and checked if he had enough energy to activate the blood art he planned to use.

Yuto hesitated for a brief moment when he realized that he needed 2 points of blood for the blood art he wanted to use.
Then, after dripping his blood into the rock through the gap in the corner of the katana, he stepped off the rock and backed up a few meters. Reaching out one hand towards the large boulder, he closed his palm into a fist and at the same moment the rock in front of him was pierced from the inside out by many red thorns and shattered into pieces.
As Yuto reached out to pick up the katana from the rocks, he saw that some of the hair that had fallen in front of him had turned a slightly gray color.
Knowing that thinking about it would not resolve the matter, he picked up the sword and started to run fast down the mountain, when he felt something strange in his head, he reached out his hand to feel it and pulled the kunai out of his head and threw it to the side.
And after only a few steps he felt his foot catch on a rope and at the same moment a huge log covered in thorns entered his field of vision and shattered his upper body.
While Yuto's upper body healed quickly again, the healing process suddenly slowed down near his neck...
About 5 minutes later, Sakonji and Tomioka, wondering why he was delayed, came over and watched the small corpse lying on the ground, slowly recovering.
