Time was precious; not a moment could be wasted.
After confirming that the Senzu Bean had been swallowed by the boy named Kenji, Mu Yu turned and left.
Kanzaki Aoi did not care. Kenji was the only thing in her eyes.
Kenji and Kanzaki Aoi had been swordsmen from the same cohort. He had always pursued her. Although she already had feelings for Kenji, she considered avenging her parents and older brother far more important.
But she had never expected that during her first demon-hunting mission after passing the Final Selection, she would encounter such a powerful supernatural demon as the Demon Samurai.
Not only her—even more than a dozen Senpai had been utterly helpless before the demon.
The reason she had survived until now was mainly because the demon wanted to keep her as stored food and use her to lure in other demon-slaying swordsmen.
Kenji was the first fool to jump in and save her!
Kanzaki Aoi's mind was filled with Kenji's "silly grin," the one he wore to make her laugh. But unfortunately, she would never see that silly grin again.
Just then, after coughing up two mouthfuls of blood, the boy named Kenji slowly sat up.
Kenji looked utterly bewildered. "I'm not dead? My wounds don't seem to hurt anymore."
But the next moment, Kanzaki Aoi threw herself into his arms.
Happiness had come too suddenly. Kenji's heart was instantly filled with joy.
What kind of miraculous medicine did that Senpai who saved me give me? The effect is incredible—it's practically divine medicine!
He saved my life and brought us together. I owe him far too much!
Unlike Kenji and Kanzaki Aoi, the ill-fated pair who had survived a brush with death and were now wrapped in joy, Mu Yu felt like his heart was bleeding.
