Hudie Kanae and Hudie Shinobu immediately lowered their heads in shame. Sure enough, doing this is what they should do, right? They were too complacent and became proud so easily.
"but."
Yu Zhuanjin changed the subject and continued, "To be able to do this, it is worthy of my praise. Let's put this afternoon's practice aside for now, and wait until the evening..."
"……night?"
Hu Die Kanae and Hu Die Ren asked in confusion.
"Come with me to fight off the evil spirits tonight."
Yu Zhuanjin only said this one sentence, and the Hu Die sisters were stunned on the spot.
The existence of the evil spirit is an indelible shadow for the two sisters.
They hate the existence of ghosts, but they are also afraid to face evil ghosts directly.
The power of the ghosts made them dare not act rashly, and if they were not strong enough, they would have no way to resist.
Upon hearing this, Hudie Kanae and Hudie Shinobu clenched their wooden swords and pursed their lips.
"Even demons are divided into several types. The elite of Demon King Muzan, the Twelve Demon Moons, are beings that can only be defeated by the Pillars. The one you saw at the beginning was a former Lower Moon demon that was expelled from the Twelve Demon Moons. However, these evil demons only account for a small number."
Yu Zhuanjin explained: "There are more little ghosts hiding here and there, but any ghost hunter who is proficient in breathing techniques can deal with them."
"But we don't even know how to use the breathing method properly."
Hu Die Kanae said softly: "Let me go with you alone this time, Xiao Shinobu's training is not enough."
"elder sister?!"
Hu Die Ren shouted.
"You don't have to do anything. Just stand by and watch me crush that ghost from beginning to end."
Mizoguchi was aware of the concerns of Kanae Hucho and Shinobu Hucho. Since the first demon they saw was a former Lower Rank, they mistakenly thought that all demons had that kind of strength.
This unclear cognition makes the Hu Die sisters extremely cautious. Although being cautious is a good thing, being too cautious will only backfire, so Yu Zhuanjin wants to correct all of this.
As night fell, the evil spirits, unable to bear their hunger, sneaked into the town and tried to enjoy a buffet.
It's a pity that his luck is not good.
Falling to the ground in a daze! Evil ghosts flying! Thousands of bullets fired at once! Sand and rocks flying! Quickly imprisoned! Shattered into pieces! Thunderbolt explosion! Separated left and right...
Hearing the howling sounds coming from the evil spirit, Hudie Kanae and Hudie Shinobu swallowed their saliva and were frightened by Yuzhongjin.
……
After last night's "outing experience", Hudie Kanae and Hudie Shinobu transferred their fear of evil spirits to Yuzenjin.
Yuzhongjin just sat there without saying a word.
Hu Die Kanae and Hu Die Shinobu trained obediently and dared not make a sound for fear of disturbing Yuzhongjin's peace.
It's lunch time.
"You must be Kanae and Shinobu, right?"
Ubuyashiki Amane found the Butterfly sisters and came over to comfort them, "I've heard that Miss Miko has adopted two 'stepchildren'. They really seem to be very talented. How are they? Have you felt uncomfortable staying here these days?"
"…Hello, Madam."
Hudie Kanae bowed politely, and Hudie Shinobu also lowered her head slightly like her sister.
"Why are you so restrained?"
Ubuyashiki Amane's gentle voice made the Butterfly sisters feel relaxed. She continued, "You who have been chosen by that person will surely become the pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps in the future."
"Master Miko, she's super powerful."
Hu Die Kanae echoed.
"Of course. She has killed two Lower Moons and one former Lower Moon."
Ubuyashiki Amane covered her mouth and chuckled.
"It's just too fierce."
Hu Die Ren beeped softly.
"Is Miss Miko very fierce? But I remember that she is usually very gentle."
Ubuyashiki Amane didn't quite understand what Hudie Shinobu meant, and was even a little confused.
"Shinobu, don't talk nonsense."
Hu Die Kanae said in a low scolding voice.
"Master Miko is always so strict in front of us. Although we know that it is for our own good, but..."
Hu Die Ren said: "She never smiles in front of us."
"……is that so?"
Ubuyashiki Amane looked at Butterfly Kanae.
"Ah."
Although she was a little hesitant, Hu Die Kanae still nodded. She didn't know what to do.
"For some things, you can't always look for problems in the other person. You need to think carefully about what's wrong. If you want Miss Miko to smile in front of you, then at least before that, you can't keep a sad face."
Ubuyashiki Amane took out a small mirror from somewhere and placed it in front of Hudie Kanae and Hudie Shinobu.
Butterfly Kanae opened her mouth and looked at her reflection in the mirror.
The sadness in his eyes was still lingering inside.
It turns out that they have always communicated with the witch master with this face.
Anyone who is in the same space with them will feel cold and dull.
"Miko-san really cares about you. Otherwise, she wouldn't have let you stay with her. Before you came, she never stayed at the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters for a whole day. She heard your prayers, so why don't you respond to her a little from time to time? How about that?"
Ubuyashiki Amane asked in a low voice.
As if whispering a secret.
Hudie Kanae and Hudie Shinobu looked at each other and finally nodded.
……
in the afternoon.
Hudie Kanae and Hudie Shinobu were assigned by Yuzenjin the task of swinging their swords 500 times using basic breathing techniques.
Every swing of the sword is a test of the spirit and even the body.
After finally achieving the goal, Hudie Kanae ran over to report to Yuzhongjin. After remembering the conversation with Madam Tianyin at noon, she took a deep breath. Although she was out of breath, she still put on a smile and shouted, "Master, Xiaonin and I have completed your request!"
"What's that expression on your face..."
Yuzhongjin looked at Hudie Kanae's childish smile and couldn't help but smile slightly, saying, "Do you think today's goal is too simple?"
"No, no!"
Hu Die Kanae waved her hands in panic.
She and Hu Die Shinobu were already exhausted.
"It's not up to you."
Yuzhongjin was happy and decided to give Hudie Kanae and Hudie Shinobu some blessings. He continued, "You probably don't have the strength to swing your swords with both hands continuously, but your legs and feet seem to need some training. Run around this mountain twice. I hope to see you at dinner time."
“…Yes, yes!”
Hudie Kanae still wanted to fight for some rest time, but when Yuzhongjin took out a teaching stick, she threatened to spank if she didn't obey, so she immediately pulled Hudie Shinobu and ran to practice.
"Sure enough, the witch master is too fierce."
Hu Die couldn't help but mutter something.
"Three laps~"
Yuzhongjin shouted after hearing the complaints.
"we know!"
Hudie Kanae covered Hudie Shinobu's mouth and went down the mountain.
If this talkative sister says a few more words, they won't be able to have dinner tomorrow morning.
"hehe?."
Yu Zhuanjin squinted his eyes and couldn't help laughing.
"Children's energy is endless."
Ubuyashiki Amane walked in at the right time.
"lady."
Yuzhongjin stood up.
"Have you decided what breathing method you want those two kids to learn? Or should we just use your training method?"
Ubuyashiki Amane asked.
"As a way to channel power, breathing techniques still have considerable effects. The most important thing is that the pattern is simple and easy to master, and it does not require more than ten or twenty years of accumulation. As a pure technique, breathing patterns also have good effects. There is no reason to give up directly, right?"
Yuzhuanjin has already thought of a training method.
"What do you think of Xingming's Breath of Rock? He happens to be at the headquarters."
Ubuyashiki Amane asked.
"Girls are not suited to learning that kind of violent method."
Yuzhongjin shook his head.
"What about the Breathing of Flame? Although the then Flame Pillar Rengoku Makijuro has resigned and returned to his family, the Rengoku family is not too far from here."
I would like to recommend Ubuyashiki Amane again.
"The flames and stuff, although very standard, I don't think it fits. Their personalities just don't fit."
Miojin still refused. To prevent Ubuyashiki Amane from continuing to lead the topic, she directly gave her idea and said, "I plan to let them try to learn water breathing. The flexibility and adaptability forged by the gentle method are suitable for them to learn since they are still children."
"Would you like me to introduce you to the Water Pillar, Urokodaki Sakonji? His water breathing is very powerful, maybe he can help you."
Ubuyashiki Amane reminded kindly.
"Is he still a water column?"
Yuzhongjin felt that he had asked a stupid question.
"Of course, but soon it wasn't. He decided to step back and look for a suitable successor as a breeder."
Ubuyashiki Tenon didn't understand the hidden meaning of Miojin's words, and just explained.
"Don't bother. The Water Breathing Technique is backed up at the headquarters. I have enough for teaching Kanae and Shinobu."
Mizotsu declined Ubuyashiki Amane's kindness.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Volume 157 (Part 4): Chapter Chapter Full Collection of Breathing [K]
……
Water Breathing, ten forms.
It only took Mizutsu a short while to collect all of them into the skill "Spells". Just like she didn't need a wand to cast a spell, and she didn't need a sword to perform the "form" of water breathing. Just using her hands was enough.
Water Breathing, First Form, Water Surface Slash!
Yuzhong Jin swung a hand forward, and the divine power swept across like a stream of water, sharper than a knife.
After learning Water Breathing, I also learned other basic breathing methods. Unfortunately, the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters does not have any forms related to Fire Breathing. This breathing method is controlled by the Purgatory family. If you want to learn it, you can only go to that family.
But it didn't matter. Yuzhongjin didn't have any special needs. The next day, she stood in front of Hudie Kanae and Hudie Shinobu and said, "Today we are going to practice the water breathing method. Although I have taught you how to breathe before, it was just the basics of the basics. The water breathing method I am talking about now is also called 'the concentrated breathing method'."
Hudie Kanae and Hudie Shinobu listened attentively.
