Faced with her elder sister's puzzled gaze.
Shinobu smiled faintly and said, almost as though showing off, "It was a demon-slaying rule Big Radish gave us when he was coaching us in Tokyo."
Kanae said, "Shinobu, get to the point."
The girl stuck out her tongue before explaining seriously.
Back then, she, Owl, and Snake Man had received training from Xia Xi in Tokyo, and naturally, there had been some demon-slaying missions along the way.
Xia Xi would usually take them along on those missions.

It was to gain practical experience and see the demons' Blood Demon Arts.
But one strange rule during those missions had puzzled them for a long time at first.
No matter how strong or weak the demon was, Xia Xi had to deliver the final blow himself.
The Dawn Hashira liked to personally send demons on their way.

He probably really hated those monsters who had abandoned their humanity.
"So Big Radish hates demons to the bone and has to kill them himself."
Kanae blinked.

"Xia Xi, we only need to leave the final blow against the demon to you, right?"
The Dawn Hashira nodded.
Kanae said earnestly, "Then sorry for the trouble, but please give it a quick death when the time comes."
Xia Xi said, "Don't worry. I'm quick."
Hearing that, Kanae tightened her grip on the sword at her waist
