Bidding farewell to the two, Kisaragi Rin opened his paradise bracelet. After killing Lower Moon Five last night, he had triggered a new mission.
"You have completed the mission - Spider's Home."
"You have obtained the Spider Demon's Treasure Chest."
"You have killed Lower Moon Five. You have unlocked the follow-up mission - Twelve Kizuki."
"Mission: Twelve Kizuki."
"You have killed Lower Moon Five of the Twelve Kizuki. Please continue to kill the remaining eleven demons. The completion rate of the mission will affect the final reward."
Kisaragi Rin opened the spiderweb-like treasure chest.
"You have obtained 500 paradise coins."
"You have obtained equipment - Woven Grudge."
Equipment - Woven Grudge
Description: This is a soft sword formed from the spider silk of Lower Moon Five, but unfortunately, it is filled with resentment and curses towards someone.
Effect: 1 - Resentful Spider Silk: The soft sword is composed of spider silk and possesses properties of extensibility, toughness, and sharpness.
2 - Spider Curse: The soft sword has a chance to summon cursed spiders to gnaw at the wounds it inflicts.
Bonus: Agility + 1
Usage Condition: Not the object of this sword's resentment.
It had a slender black hilt, and the blade was made of white spider silk, forming a fractured spiderweb pattern that looked quite exquisite.
Kisaragi Rin tried to pick up the sword, and the blade quickly distorted and lunged at him.
"What the hell is this usage condition?"
Kisaragi Rin activated the Golden Light Technique to block the sword outside his body. The blade and the golden light continuously made tearing sounds, making Kisaragi Rin's face turn incredibly dark.
He had thoughtfully sent Lower Moon Five to reunite with his family, so why was this guy still being ungrateful and producing equipment that caused him trouble?
Is this Lower Moon Five's resentment or Lower Moon Five's discrimination, simply not allowing Kisaragi Rin to use it?
Although Kisaragi Rin didn't use soft swords anyway, he was still annoyed and threw it back into his storage space. Kisaragi Rin glanced at the remaining paradise coins.
"Paradise coins: 804."
"Let's continue to upgrade the Golden Light Technique."
The intelligence boost from Heavenly Eye is effective below 20 points, while the intelligence boost from Golden Light Technique is effective below 15 points.
If he prioritized upgrading Heavenly Eye and raised his intelligence above 15 points, it would waste the effect of the Golden Light Technique, which is why Kisaragi Rin prioritized upgrading the Golden Light Technique.
"Your Golden Light Technique has reached Level 5, and special Effect is being generated."
"Subsequent experiences and material additions will affect the output of the Skill's special Effect."
"Do you wish to continue upgrading the level? The Golden Light Technique will immediately generate a special Effect after upgrading."
"Oh, there's this Skill special Effect," Kisaragi Rin carefully scrolled through the recent messages from Paradise, checking what distinguished this special Effect from ordinary Skills.
Special Effect: A special effect gained by a Skill after upgrading.
Subsequent Experiences: Your usage methods, preferences, and experiences with this Skill will influence the generation of the special Effect.
Material Addition: You can add relevant materials to this Skill to influence the direction of the special Effect's generation. The better the material matches the Skill, the higher the chance of generating a relevant special Effect.
He couldn't open the Paradise Mall after entering the mission world, and Kisaragi Rin didn't have anything compatible with the Golden Light Technique, so he chose to continue upgrading.
"Golden Light Technique Lv5 → Lv6."
"Your Golden Light Technique has awakened the special Effect - Unyielding."
Special Effect - Unyielding: The Golden Light Technique is rigid and unyielding. The golden light can both unleash higher damage and form higher defense.
"Is it really this kind of effect?"
Kisaragi Rin activated the Golden Light Technique, and the golden light appeared on his arm, quickly forming an incredibly hard golden light armor. With a slight control, it transformed into a blade, easily piercing the ground.
Hardlight technology! Or, a lightsaber?
Simply put, under the same conditions, the Golden Light Technique's basic defense and lethality both increased.
The remaining paradise coins were only enough to upgrade to Lv7. The Lv7 Golden Light Technique brought him a total attribute increase of 3 points in Strength, 3 points in Constitution, and 2 points in Intelligence.

Both Strength and Constitution had reached 11 points. In contrast, Agility was too low, a mere 6 points, only slightly faster than an ordinary person. Kisaragi Rin was quite dissatisfied with this.
Agility is not only related to movement speed but also to the very important attack speed.
If his Agility was high enough, Kisaragi Rin wouldn't even need three strikes to kill Lower Moon Five.
When he blocked the first strike, Kisaragi Rin could have used a second strike to cut off his neck before he could dodge, achieving an instant kill by exploiting the information gap, giving him no chance to react.
He had to find a way to improve his Agility.
Thinking this, Kisaragi Rin arrived at a restaurant in Mount Natagumo.
Coming to another world, of course, he had to experience the local specialties. Although there were no clothes-bursting or glowing dishes here, friends who often eat people know that Demon Slayer is actually considered a gourmet anime.
Kisaragi Rin found a seemingly clean noodle shop, lifted the cloth curtain in front of the door, and walked inside.
Compared to his poverty in reality, Kisaragi Rin was somewhat of a rich man here.
The gold he had plundered from Tokoname City couldn't be used in the real world, but there were no concerns about using it here.
This was a small Japanese ramen shop with only a few tables. There were already quite a few people inside, all ordering and eating at the bar.
The menu was written on wooden boards hanging on the wall: soy sauce ramen, miso ramen, and salt ramen.
"Quite ordinary varieties, aren't they?"
Sitting at the bar, Kisaragi Rin was a bit conflicted about which one to order. When he had money, he was quite picky about taste.
"Why don't you try the miso ramen here?"
A very charming female voice sounded beside him. Kisaragi Rin looked over.
Long cherry-pink hair was tied into braids behind and on both sides, with a greenish gradient at the ends. What was most eye-catching were the two mounds of fat, which, due to her leaning on the bar, were piled together, forming an incredible curve.
She continued enthusiastically, "The noodles have a wonderfully chewy texture… especially the bean sprouts and green onions inside, they're refreshingly crisp… and finally, drinking the soup, it's a perfect miso ramen!"
As she spoke, she covered her face and couldn't help but lick her lips, her eyes filled with happiness.
But then she noticed that Kisaragi Rin beside her didn't seem to be listening to her, and was looking at her with a strange gaze.
"I've been taken for a weirdo."
Kanroji Mitsuri was greatly disheartened, slumping onto the bar, her whole body wilting.
Kisaragi Rin came back to his senses and couldn't help but look at her again.
Large light green eyes, with a mole under each.
With such unique features, Kisaragi Rin had already guessed who she was.
Demon Slayer Corps Love Pillar.
Kanroji Mitsuri!
"Your Stage One Mission - Find the Demon Slayer Corps has been completed."
