Sebastian said with a smile that what he was talking about was the worlds of H.O.T.D. and Demon Slayer. In a sense, the stories of H.O.T.D., Demon Slayer, and InuYasha all take place in Japan, but their worlds are different.
Listening to Sebastian's words, Kaede's eyes filled with surprise and admiration. For her, who has never left the village, the stories he told are nothing short of exciting and wonderful adventures.
Kaede is still young and doesn't know much about the outside world, but she is curious about it. She is eager to hear more stories about the outside world from Sebastian and is also fascinated by these tales.
"Sir Sebastian, the tea is ready..." At this moment, Kikyō walked up to Sebastian with several cups of tea.
"Leave it to me, sister!" Kaede quickly took the tea from her sister and handed it to Sebastian.
Sebastian took a sip of the tea, and the temperature was just right. It wasn't high-grade tea, but it had a faint fragrance that could calm people's moods.
At the same time, Kikyō also handed a cup of tea to Ram, who had been standing behind Sebastian. Ram took the tea but didn't drink it and looked at Sebastian with a surprised expression. Whether it's her or Beatrice, the tea usually made for Sebastian is the most prized, so the tea brewed by Kikyō is quite different.
"Sir Sebastian..." Before Ram could finish speaking, Sebastian interrupted her. "Ram, you should taste it first."
"As you wish." Ram was loyal to Sebastian's words, so she immediately took a sip of tea without hesitation. In the next second, her expression changed. This tea was much better than she had imagined. The taste was not convoluted, but it had a refreshing feeling.
"Ram, sometimes the simplest ingredients can produce the best things," Sebastian said slowly.
"Um." Ram listened to Sebastian's words and looked thoughtful.
At this time, Kikyō looked at Sebastian with some hesitation in her eyes. "Why don't you stay with us for another night?"
"Then, thank you very much," Sebastian smiled and nodded.
"By the way, what is Sir's destination?" Kikyō continued to ask. "My destination is not yet determined, but I plan to wander around."
"So..." Kikyō pursed her lips. "Sir Sebastian, if you don't mind, please stay in our village for a few more days."
After saying this, Kikyō's cheeks flushed slightly. After all, there had been no guests before, let alone someone of the opposite gender. The arrival of Sebastian and his group made the family lively.
"Sir Sebastian, stay!" Kaede, who was standing nearby, saw her sister's actions and quickly echoed. The eyes of the two sisters were full of anticipation.
"Is there a reason?" Sebastian asked with a smile, looking at the two sisters who wanted to stay as guests.
"I want to repay Mr. Sebastian for saving my life..." Kikyō lowered her head in embarrassment. "And... I want to learn more demon-slaying skills from him."
Kikyō possessed very powerful spiritual power since she was a child and had killed countless monsters to protect the village, earning the respect of the villagers. However, when she went out to hunt today, she realized she was not capable enough, her skills were insufficient. Even if her group didn't need to help her, she should have been able to defeat the toad demon, but she was not safe and sound.
Moreover, the strength Sebastian and others demonstrated against the toad monster was fearsome; even the monsters at the top of the food chain seemed no more than ants. Even his subordinates were already so strong, what level, then, was Sebastian himself?
This is why Kikyō wanted Sebastian to stay temporarily. Even if her intention was to repay kindness, she also hoped to follow him and learn more about demon-slaying.
Kaede's reason was even simpler. She admired Sebastian greatly and wanted him to stay and tell more stories about the outside world.
Sebastian did not object to their proposal. In this world, what is worth researching and collecting is not only powerful monsters but also many powerful artifacts, for example, the Jewel of Four Souls and the Tessaiga, one of the treasured swords used by Sesshōmaru.
Sebastian felt it would be more efficient to develop the village for a while and use his familiarity with the stories to achieve his goals, rather than wandering around the world. His current priority was to develop this village into a powerful base in this world.
"Then, thank you so much!" Sebastian smiled and nodded.
"No thanks, it's our honor to have Mr. Sebastian stay!" Hearing Sebastian's words, Kikyō's eyes shone with excitement, and Kaede even jumped a little happily. "Great, Mr. Sebastian!"
Next day quickly arrived.
Now it is the end of autumn, and the sky and earth are covered with a layer of gold, reflecting the sun's rays. This harvest season symbolizes the gifts of nature and also warns of the coming winter.
Outside the house, countless maple leaves dance in the wind like golden rain.
At this moment, Sebastian was bathing in the rain, seemingly playing with something. He was constructing defensive structures such as sentry guns and pillboxes, which appeared almost instantly. This village is very remote and easy to become a target for monsters, so to prevent problems before they happen, he needed to build defensive measures.
"Sir Sebastian, what is this?" Kikyō asked skeptically from the side. In this world, there is no concept of firearms, let alone such high-tech equipment.
"Equipment for eliminating demons," Sebastian replied casually with a smile.
