After soaking in the bathtub.
Shizuka Hiratsuka, in Bai Chuan's arms, entered the room.
After all, they were in the Edo period.
The entertainment options of this era.
Were nowhere near as developed as those of later generations.
Once night fell, besides sleeping.
There was only one thing left to do: to indulge in some lovemaking.
Bai Chuan quite enjoyed it, anyway.
After a flurry of activity, time flew by and it was already late at night.
Bai Chuan finally closed his eyes in satisfaction.
Shizuka Hiratsuka, nestled in Bai Chuan's embrace, snuggled closer.
Her ear was pressed directly against Bai Chuan's chest.
She didn't know why, herself.
It just felt so reassuring.
For the past few days.
She hadn't been able to sleep without hearing Bai Chuan's heartbeat.
She couldn't even fall asleep.
Her situation.
To put it simply.
Was a lack of security.
..
Unlike Bai Chuan, who had already died once.
Shizuka Hiratsuka, after all, was a flower that had grown up in a greenhouse.
She had never faced any real hardship.
Let alone crises like life and death.
She hadn't even experienced minor bumps and bruises.
For someone like her to be suddenly dragged into the "Reincarnation World".
To be transported to the dark and turbulent Edo era.
And to have to fight against terrifying creatures like demons.
It would be strange if Shizuka Hiratsuka wasn't afraid.
Her previous composure was merely a facade.
The mask of intellect had been worn for so long, it was hard to take it off for a while.
In reality, her heart had been in a panic.
Especially after she had repeatedly encountered the gazes of the criminals of this era.
Shizuka Hiratsuka had become even more afraid.
She wasn't an idiot.
On the contrary, she was actually very smart.
Therefore, she was acutely aware.
That a pretty high school girl like her.
In this era, without any protection.
Would face a terrible fate.
With good luck, she would become the plaything of some powerful figure.
With bad luck, she might even be worse off dead.
Rather than face such a hopeless ending.
It was better to just follow Bai Chuan.
Although they hadn't been close in the past.
No matter how unfamiliar they were, it was better than any other stranger, or even another newcomer.
Since she was going to encounter this ordeal anyway.
Why not choose someone she found agreeable?
Therefore, at that time.
When Bai Chuan was about to abandon her.
She made a request for a deal.
Using herself as collateral, to secure Bai Chuan's protection.
As it turned out, Shizuka Hiratsuka's choice was right.
Thanks to Bai Chuan's protection.
Otherwise, she might be locked up in that basement right now.
Furthermore, Shizuka Hiratsuka also discovered.
That after she had gained a deeper understanding of Bai Chuan.
She had developed a sense of dependence on him.
Now, even without the deal.
She no longer wanted to leave Bai Chuan's side.
It must be said that the shortest path to a woman's heart.
Is indeed that.
.....
Three months later.
In the small town at the foot of Mount Kumitori.
Bai Chuan lay lazily on a reclining chair, basking in the sun.
In front of him.
Was Shizuka Hiratsuka, practicing the Breath of the Sun.
That's right, Shizuka Hiratsuka had mastered the basics of Breath of the Sun.
She had mastered it within three months.
This speed, although not as fast as Bai Chuan's.
Was still considered extremely fast.
And this wasn't because Shizuka Hiratsuka was particularly talented.
It was purely due to her "Talent".
"Inspiration Surge".
Shizuka Hiratsuka had explained it before.
Her Talent, "Inspiration Surge," had the effect of occasionally directly raising the level of her skills by one.
Previously, when she was practicing Breath of the Sun.
She had triggered the "Inspiration Surge" Talent.
Which had caused her "Breath of the Sun" skill level.
To jump from lv0 to lv1!
Just like that, she had mastered the Breath of the Sun.
After mastering the Breath of the Sun.
Shizuka Hiratsuka had undergone significant changes in the past few days.
First, her body was much stronger than before.
Because she was practicing the modified version of the Breath of the Sun that Bai Chuan had created.
Unlike the original, it wouldn't damage a person's vitality.
On the contrary, Bai Chuan's modified version of the Breath of the Sun had the added effect of strengthening the body.
As Shizuka Hiratsuka practiced regularly, her physique naturally grew stronger.
At least, compared to her previous, ordinary high school girl physique, it was much stronger.
And this, in the end, had all become Bai Chuan's benefit.
After all, the stronger Shizuka Hiratsuka's physique became.
Wouldn't he enjoy himself even more when he... you know.
Besides the enhancement of her physique.
Shizuka Hiratsuka's appearance had also improved considerably.
Her skin was whiter, her pores smaller, and her figure more perfect.
This also made Bai Chuan's interest in Shizuka Hiratsuka grow even stronger.
Of course, besides Shizuka Hiratsuka's improvement.
Bai Chuan himself hadn't stopped either.
Three months had passed.
Bai Chuan's Reincarnation World panel.
Had undergone a drastic change.
"Reincarnation World Information
Name: Bai Chuan
Number: 114115
Physique: 89
Energy: 78
Intelligence: 90∞
Talent: Omniscience & Omnipotence (Unique)
Bloodline: None
Skill: Breath of the Sun lv9 (19%)
Item: Standard Long Sword
Current Reincarnation World: 《Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba》
Reincarnation World Already Experienced: None
Overall Evaluation: E+."
This was Bai Chuan's current Reincarnation World panel.
First, the three attributes.
They had all become several times stronger.
Just Physique alone had reached 89 points.
It was about to break through the three-digit mark.
And you have to understand, the three attributes on the Reincarnation World panel.
The higher they got, the greater the increase.
1 point of Physique under 10, and 1 point of Physique over 10.
Were completely different concepts.
This meant that the current Bai Chuan.
In terms of Physique alone, had far surpassed the limits of human beings.
According to Bai Chuan's estimate.
His current Physique strength.
Was about half the level of Spider-Man.
The real Spider-Man could stop a train going at full speed.
He could stop half a train without a problem.
But even so, his Physique was extremely impressive.
Besides the enhancement of his three attributes.
There was another area that had seen a massive increase.
It was his skills.
The Breath of the Sun, Bai Chuan had directly raised it to level 9 using his own monstrous talent.
He had reached the same level as Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
And this was not Bai Chuan's limit.
He could continue to raise the level of the Breath of the Sun.
Perhaps, it wouldn't be long before he surpassed the former creator, Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
Looking at his luxurious attribute panel.
Bai Chuan was actually thinking about something else.
"Perhaps, my plan can begin."
Bai Chuan thought to himself.
