Roo showed a mysterious smile: "How is it? Are you ready?"
Kanao nodded nervously.
She was really looking forward to the results from Roo's hands.
If it was facing upwards, maybe she could make a change?
But...
What if it was facing downwards?
Wouldn't she have to stay the sa as now?
Wouldn't she still be unable to speak openly with Roo?
Kanao was very conflicted.
Roo was also reluctant to open his palm.
This scene made the girl so anxious that she almost jumped up.
Finally, Kanao couldn't bear it anymore.
Her small mouth suddenly opened wide: "Roo, open your palm quickly and let see it!"
"Whether the coin is facing up or down!"
Roo gradually raised the corners of his mouth.
He said aningfully: "Kanao, you spoke."
"? What did I say? Aren't we just looking at—"
Kanao's voice suddenly stopped.
Only then did she react belatedly.
"I just said a lot of things?"
Roo continued: "Kanao, you spoke so fluently."
Kanao was very confused.
She didn't know why she was like this.
She glanced at Roo's hand, then rushed over and opened his palm.
But...
There was nothing in his palm!
"How co?"
Kanao stood there in a daze.
She looked at the sky, then at the ground.
Finally, she looked at Roo for help.
She was a little scared.
Afraid of the changes happening inside her.
In this mont of confusion, Kanao first thought of Roo.
Roo was very gentle, so she subconsciously wanted to grasp the warmth from him.
A strong hand gently held hers.
Roo slowly walked up to the girl.
He hugged her comfortingly.
After her trembling body settled a bit, Roo said patiently: "Do you want to know why?"
Kanao nodded timidly.
Roo said earnestly:"Actually, Kanao is not unable to speak, it's just that Kanao has been hiding herself."
"It's not that Kanao can't make decisions, she's just been looking for an emotional anchor to help her choose."
"Have you ever thought about it, Kanao?"
"What were you thinking at that mont when the coin was flying through the air?"
Kanao lowered her head and thought quietly.
At the sa ti, Roo's voice rang out again:"Actually, the mont the coin flew into the air, Kanao already made her own choice in her heart."
Boom!
Kanao's heart seed to be injected with a powerful stimulant.
Her trembling body cald instantly.
Scattered thoughts—
Wandering eyes—
All found their place in that mont.
Kanao stared at Roo with wide, bright eyes, and her emotions overflowed in an instant.
So it turns out—
She was never unable to speak.
She wasn't incapable of choosing.
She had just been locking herself away...
Under the moonlight, Kanao's eyes sparkled with new life.
She wanted to rember Roo's face forever.
At this mont, Kanao truly wanted to say sothing.
"Thank you, Roo."
"I know what I should do now."
"I'll keep doing what I did this morning, too."
Kanao hugged Roo gently, her head resting on his chest.
Speaking the truest words in her heart.
Greedily inhaling Roo's scent.
Her heart felt warm and full.
Roo also hugged Kanao back softly, patting her gently on the back.
After they embraced for a while—
Kanao asked the question that had been bothering her.
"But Roo, where's the coin from earlier?"
Roo smiled and said, "Of course I didn't catch it. It just fell nearby."
After saying that, Roo turned around to go find it.
But as he searched, sothing seed wrong.
He couldn't find it!
Roo panicked. "F**k, seriously?"
He was so anxious he even started swearing.
But still couldn't find it!
Just then, Kanao's voice ca from behind:"Mr. Roo, you didn't lose my coin, did you?"
"How could I!" Roo replied calmly.
But inside, he was completely panicking.
"It definitely fell here just now!"
Roo searched more desperately, checking all around.
Still nothing.
Just at that mont—
A pair of soft arms suddenly wrapped around him from behind.
"Mr. Roo, it's okay."
Kanao's voice ca gently from behind him.
"I don't need it anymore."
The girl hugged Roo tightly, breathing in his scent.
Her words were laced with emotion.
"I found sothing more important."
"Mr. Roo, didn't you ask to do sothing I really wanted to do?"
Kanao hugged him a little tighter.
"Now, I've done it."
"Mr. Roo, let's go ho."
The night was silent.
Roo turned around gently, only to find Kanao had fallen asleep.
The breathing exercises, the emotional changes—they had exhausted her.
Now that the weight in her heart was lifted, she had slipped into a peaceful sleep.
"This girl..." Roo smiled dotingly.
Then he carefully picked her up in a princess carry.
Feeling the warmth of her body in his arms, Roo couldn't help but smile again.
Suddenly—
A glint of moonlight flashed in his eyes.
He looked instinctively in that direction.
There, under the moonlight—
The coin rested atop the flower he had picked earlier, glimring softly.
...
The next morning.
Roo slept in again.
It had taken him an hour to carry Kanao back the night before, and his back was sore!
After getting up, he did so light stretching and hurried downstairs.
"Kong ni ji wa, Mr. Roo!"
"Kong ni ji wa!" Roo responded with a smile.
"Kong ni ji wa, Mr. Roo!"
"Konijiwa!"
"Kong ni ji wa, Mr. Roo!"
"Good riddance, good riddance!"
Xiaoqing, Xiaocheng, and Xiaocaihui took turns greeting Roo.
He greeted each of them in return.
Looking around, Roo asked, "She hasn't co back yet?"
Hearing this, Xiaoqing replied,"Master Shinobu was summoned by the Lord early this morning."
"Summoned again?" Roo was stunned.
He wasn't sure what had happened this ti to make Kochou Shinobu, the Insect Hashira, run around again.
It seed the Demon Slayer Corps was desperately short on people.
No wonder Ubuyashiki Kagaya would go to such lengths to recruit them.
After sending the three little girls off—
Roo glanced around like a thief.
After confirming no one was nearby, he snuck into the basent.
Then slipped into Kochou Shinobu's laboratory.
With the experience from last ti, Roo moved with practiced ease.
He approached the desk.
And quite naturally, picked up Kochou Shinobu's diary.
