305 Premonition ③





 At the age of ten, Masato held two wooden swords in each hand, and on top of the swords were large stones lined up haphazardly on top of the swords, which remained motionless for several hours without dropping them.
 Then Yuto suddenly said something that occurred to him.

''Grandpa, why is it that only Doudou is carrying this kind of role on his shoulders?''

Yeah? What is it, Eugene, you have a problem? Well, I don't care if it's your turn to stop.

'What? I can stop!

Oh, it could destroy the human race. Ho-ho-ho-ho!

Ugh...! But, so that's it. Since it's so important, why don't we all just protect the Demon Lord's Cave?

Hmm, you have a point. In fact, it would be best if you could do it. But the so-called demons of the demon world are very cunning. The more people know about them, the more dangerous they are.

What? What kind of increased danger does it pose?

'Think about it. What if you could get power from the demon tribe of the demon world? If ordinary people become gifted, and gifted people awaken to new powers, there will be no shortage of people who will side with the demon race. In fact, most of the people who have tried to explore and get involved in the demon world have been evil.

Yeah well it's hard, isn't it?

''Mm, unless you're from a family that comes from the demon world like the Du Du family, you don't understand the severity of this.''

''But wouldn't the people of the Du Du family be in danger of being tricked by the demon tribe like those people?''

'Kakkakkah! We'll be fine in the Hall of Fame.

What? Why?

''Because if you master the Dou Dou Dou Family Spiritual Sword Art, you will surpass the demon race. Do you want to risk a new power from a suspicious person for the sake of risking it when you're stronger than him? And all we see are people who destroyed themselves because of it.

'Oh, right! Oh, but I....

''Don't worry, Yuto. Even if you are not able to use the Dou Dou Dou Spiritual Sword Art, you can still learn a power comparable to it through the use of the sacred art. Now, don't just move your mouth, move your body as well, your ki circulation is in disarray.

 As he said this, Kaczou scooped up nearby stones the size of a person's head with a twig.
Then more stones were piled on top of the stones that were on top of the wooden sword that the young Yuto held in each hand.

''Ugh!''

Well, yes. Shall I tell you a little bit of an old story about this in Du Du? I'm sure you know this from Liaichi, but the outsiders who live in the demon world are overwhelmingly ruthless and unreasonable. The first generation could easily imagine what kind of tragedy awaited this world if this world and the demon world were to be connected.

 Yokokokko and Tiezang sit down on a nearby stump.

A thousand years ago, the first generation of the Du family found out by chance that the number of people in this world is much smaller than the number of people in the demon world. If the demons from the demon world were to rush in from this world, it would be difficult to resist them. No, the human race here will be overrun, and we will be completely deprived of our right to exist as a species.

 Despite the fact that the story sounds like a fairy tale from a thousand years ago, Kazura has a somewhat nostalgic look on his face.

It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what to do. That's why the first generation vowed to be a bulwark. That determination has been handed down to me even now, a thousand years later.

'It's kind of awesome, ancestor. You're like a hero and it's so cool! It's all about working hard for everyone.

Well, yes, that's true, judging by the results. But, to tell you the truth, I had a more humane reason for thinking that.

Like what?

"Your first companion, that is to say, a distant grandmother of Yuto. That woman was a woman from this world, this side of the world.

'What? Because.........the Dou Dou Dou family is from the demon world.

That's right. To tell the truth, she was transported to the magical world through a dimensional distortion and met the first generation. She had a very strange destiny.

 Yuuto was fascinated by the first time he heard the story of his ancestors.

The people of the demon world at that time were exhausted by the onslaught of the demon tribe, and their ability to rule was almost completely lost as the nations of that time were almost completely in ruins. Well, it was a time when the human race was in danger of extinction. According to the legend, the first generation was born in a remote area of the demon world. He had extraordinary talents and abilities, but he said that was all there was to it.

And then?

The woman I mentioned earlier, Masato's distant grandmother, was a psychic as well as a spiritual swordsman. I don't know if it's strictly correct to call her a reiji, since she had a combination of the reijijutsu, which has been handed down from China, and the ancient Japanese art of shugenja, which became the prototype of the ninja.

Yes, it was!

When she met the first generation, she and the first generation were attracted to each other and she passed on all her knowledge and skills to the first generation. She passed on all of her knowledge and skills to the first generation. The first generation mastered the art in just a few years, and then she refined it through fighting demons, creating the foundation of the current Do-Do Spiritual Sword Art. That's why he's so strong. When he came out of the Demon's Grotto, I was in a bit of a pickle. It's a true battlefield skill that was developed during actual battles. Of course, she was always there to support the first generation.

"Fluffy.

 Yuto listened with a glint in his eye.

The first generation succeeded in leading the human race in the demon world and uniting them in an all-out counterattack against the demon race. Well, it's a heroic story in the demon world.

Great, great!

 Yuto was as excited as if it were his own as he continued his training.

''But... then the people of the demon world settled down and an incident occurred between her and the first generation.

"...what? What's that?

I have found the Devil's Passage.

 The face of the clerk became slightly more serious, and Yuto's expression changed in a childlike way.

It's a very good thing that you can't get a good idea of what it's all about. Well, let's not talk about that here........the problem here was her.

Problem?

Because if you pass through the Devil's Passage, you'll be able to go home.

'Oh....'

She was deeply in love with the first generation. But she couldn't let go of her nostalgia. So, after much hesitation and suffering, she decided to return home.

....

 Why did young Masato want her to go back there? I wish I could live in the demon world, I thought.
 But home can have a heavy meaning for some people. And moreover, she was a person who was unintentionally sent to another world. I can understand now that she must have had feelings that others don't understand.

I'm sure you've been thinking about this for a while now," he said, "but in conclusion, the first generation chose to be with her and came here. Otherwise, the Dou Dou Dou family wouldn't have been born, would it?

'Oh, I see. But........how could your first grandfather make such a decision? Because if he was in the demon world, he would have been a hero.

The first generation loved her dearly. So when she said she was coming home, she said it didn't take her long to decide to come here. The first generation had a younger brother who was a reliable one, so the demon world left everything to him, rather than letting him handle it.

 Yuto listened to Sumazo's story as he devoured it. And at this time, Yuto was moved by the closeness he felt to his great ancestor, the first generation.
 He easily discarded the grand title of hero of the demon world and came to another world for his wife.
 The young Yuto didn't know how to describe it, but he thought it was a wonderful thing.

''Well, it's a long story, but you see, I mean, the first generation decided to hide and protect the Demonraigu and become the bulwark of this world...''

It was all for your grandmother, your ancestors!

 Yuto replies with a big smile.

'Ho-ho-ho, that's right. The first generation loved her and loved this world that she loved. You say that the important role of Du Du, the reason for Du Du's existence, but the truth is.......that's the only reason. It was to protect the most precious thing in the woman I loved.

 With Masato nodding happily behind him, Sumazo mumbled in a whisper, "That's where Gao (Gao) forced his daughter to screw her as his second wife, and that time, it got messy.......

'Ooh-ooh-ooh, I'm talking about a guy I've missed,'

 Then Sun Wei, Yujin's official master, appeared.

''Geez, Master!''

Geez, no, you are not a novice. Your Immortals are in disarray.

 Yujin couldn't read the signs at all and was surprised by the sudden appearance of his teacher.
 So he did not notice that Sun Wei called him a "familiar fellow" at this moment.

I am teaching you that the state of concentration is the state of being at ease. The state of concentration is the state of being at ease, the state of feeling your life, the breath of life. Hmmm, yes. Using the ch'i collected in the dantian, let the ch'i flow from the lower abdomen and up the back. Then over the head to the lower abdomen. Then collect the ch'i in the dantian again. Faster!

Yes!

 At this time, Sumazo beside him showed a very unusual expression of nostalgia for the past for a moment.

''Well that's the only reason. But your will and determination have been passed down in the blood of Du Du, and have been protected for a thousand years. You never imagined that your own descendants have saved the world from crisis on several occasions. Ain't that right, Ain't that right, Ain't that right?

 The way of life and determination of the first generation has been passed down to Yuto today.
 He has been watching Du Du as the Three Immortals.
 Almost all things are natural and inevitable.
 The Three Immortals are the ones who understand and embody this.
 But at this time, something deeply moved in the heart of old man Taishou... or rather, now just the grandfather of Masato, Chatterbox.

''Huh? What did you say? Grandpa.

It's all right. I am tired, I am going back to the inn. Let Sun Wei take care of the rest. You will stay here and train for a while.

 Saying that, Kazura sat up.
