Chapter 472 Bad Luck
The group continued strolling through the temple fair.
Almost the entire city was preparing for today's summer festival. Every street was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, making it impossible to recognize the original streets. You might even get lost if you're not careful.
Genmi followed weakly behind the group. If it weren't for the children's encouragement, he probably would have collapsed completely.
As Yuko led the children toward the balloon popping stall, Shinobu Kocho asked him, "Has Mr. Himejima arrived yet?"
Xuanmi regained some of his seriousness: "He said he would arrive today, he should be here by now, right?"
Shinobu Kocho watched Ikuko's retreating figure and asked, "What did Mr. Himejima do after leaving the Demon Slayer Corps?"
Xuanmi replied, "It seems that a school was built with the money given by the lord, and many homeless children were taken in."
He was the disciple who was in charge of contacting Himejima Gyomei that day.
Genya had been learning from Gyomei Himejima since he joined the Demon Slayer Corps, so he was one of Himejima's closest people.
Butterfly chuckled, not surprised at all: "I see, that's exactly what Mr. Beiming Island would do."
Genmi sighed, "Yes, that person has always been so gentle."
If it weren't for Mr. Beimingjima's help, I guess my personality would have been even worse.
"You're kidding!!"
Suddenly, a scream came from the side, followed by exclamations from the children. The two instinctively turned their heads to look.
Behind Yuko and the children's stall, the owner let out a wail.
The two hurried over, and Shinobu Kocho asked Ikuko, who was standing in front of the stall, "What's wrong?"
She noticed that all the balloons that were fixed to the wooden board behind the stall had burst, and throwing knives were stuck into them.
original……
Yuko looked puzzled: "I don't know~"
Shinobu narrowed her eyes. "She really knows how to play dumb, Yuko."
"Wow, that's amazing!" Takeo's eyes lit up. "All of it in an instant..."
Yu Zi shrugged and looked at the dumbfounded boss: "Boss, can you tell me what the prizes are?"
The boss snapped out of his daze, sweating profusely.
What a joke! If you had told me earlier that you were so accurate, he wouldn't have let you play no matter what!
Whose daughter throws knives so dramatically?!
He hadn't even had time to see clearly yet!
Suddenly, the boss's eyes darted around: "This doesn't count."
Yuko was taken aback: "Huh? Why?"
The children questioned, "Sister Yuzi didn't cheat, uncle, you're bullying us!"
The boss looked at everyone guiltily and said with a forced smile, "Well, you have to pay first before you can play."
As soon as he said that, everyone understood.
They're trying to cheat.
Yu Zi was speechless. How could people like this even exist?
That's such a lame excuse!
"Seriously, what a terrible thing to happen on such a nice day." Shinobu Kocho muttered, slapping her wallet in front of the shopkeeper. "Here's the money, let me have a go."
She was very dissatisfied, not only because of the boss's sore attitude, but also because he was bullying Yu Zi.
The boss breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that someone had been replaced.
He was cheating from the start, and even if Yu Zi said he wanted to do it again, he wouldn't do this business. But this little girl... she's so young, probably only fifteen or sixteen years old. Look at her thin arms and legs, her delicate skin and tender flesh, she's obviously never touched a throwing knife before.
Seeing this, the boss couldn't help but want to slap himself. That woman had tattoos on her face, and she was definitely not someone to mess with. She might even be the woman of some mafia boss.
Oh no! He just harassed the woman of a mob boss, is he going to be thrown into the river?!
I should have known better than to cheat.
Seeing his boss's face turn pale and then red, a gang leader couldn't help but slam his fist on the table.
"Boss? Can we get ready?" Shinobu Kocho pointed to the balloon fragments and throwing knives on the wooden board.
"Oh, oh, oh." The boss nodded subconsciously, and had no choice but to bite the bullet and prepare.
Who knows, maybe it was just a random tattoo...
How could a girl have a tattoo?!
It's definitely the mafia, no doubt about it!
The more the boss thought about it, the weaker his legs became. His trembling and fearful appearance left everyone completely bewildered.
You're the one cheating; they haven't even had a chance to do anything yet.
"Okay, all done." A moment later, the shopkeeper hung the balloons all over the wooden board again and handed the throwing knife to Shinobu Kocho.
Shinobu Kocho counted the number of throwing knives and nodded silently.
Well, that's barely enough.
"Boss, are you sure? I've already paid."
"Yes Yes."
Shinobu Kocho ignored his tension and focused her gaze on the wooden board.
To be honest, this kind of thing would be a game-changer for any Demon Slayer Corps swordsman.
Her gaze became more focused, and her breathing became strange; she was actually using a breathing technique she hadn't used in a long time.
Just as Yuko was wondering if she was planning to overturn the boss's stall, Butterfly made a move.
She grabbed the throwing knife in her hand, and her silly actions almost made the boss burst out laughing.
He didn't even know how to hold a throwing knife, but at least he kept his money.
In a sudden moment, Shinobu Kocho threw all the throwing knives in her hand.
Although it was said to be a single grab, the order in which the throwing knives were thrown was actually faintly discernible, but the shopkeeper couldn't tell.
He only heard the sound of throwing knives colliding. There were only a few knives, yet in the blink of an eye, they had popped all the balloons on the wooden board.
"Amazing!!" The children's eyes shone even brighter.
The boss was completely numb.
Is this something amazing?
At least the people before threw them one handful at a time, but you...
He instinctively wanted to say, "You cheated," but when he looked at the throwing knife that was almost halfway embedded in the wooden board, he shut his mouth from the bottom of his heart.
He was wrong. This skinny guy was not someone to be trifled with; even a big man couldn't have nailed it in.
Are you kidding me? Is this really something a human could do?
Also, when did this girl get the butterfly tattoo on her face?
Did he encounter a monster?
At this bustling temple fair?
"Boss, you're not planning to renege on your promise, are you?" Shinobu Kocho asked in a slightly dangerous tone after he had been silent for so long.
The boss gave an awkward smile: "No, no!"
……
"Thank you, Shinobu-neechan." Hanako hugged a small teddy bear and looked at Shinobu with eyes full of admiration.
Yu Zi laughed and said, "Ren's look just now made me think you wanted to beat up that boss."
Xuanmi nodded in agreement: "But that guy deserved to be beaten up too."
Yu Zi shook her head, neither denying his meaning.
Having seen so much, she no longer harbored any resentment towards these people. If she hadn't held back just now, she probably wouldn't have bothered with that person.
Shinobu Kocho smiled slightly: "How could that be? At most, he'll just have diarrhea for a few days."
With her skill level, she could drug the boss without anyone noticing.
Xuanmi's lips twitched: "That's even worse, okay?"
"Sigh, it's just bad luck to run into someone like that." Butterfly sighed. "It's supposed to be a temple fair."
Does this mean that she and Yuko are having bad luck this year?
