Chapter 168 Each on Their Own Path
Looking around, Xuanmi found that his home was still the same as before, still so familiar.
Genmi was deeply moved, but when he thought of his mother and younger siblings' current situation, he immediately couldn't be happy. Is a home still a home without family?
My familiar family members are no longer here, so what difference does it make whether this house is repaired or not?
"Brother, you've worked hard."
Xuanmi said softly, the smile that had just appeared on his face now gone.
Sensing the change in his younger brother Genya, Shinazugawa Sanemi remained silent. As the older brother, he had known Genya's personality since childhood, and thus he was just as sad as Genya was at this moment.
He thought that repairing the broken furniture and the walls of the room would bring him some peace of mind, but he was wrong. Terribly wrong.
After seeing Xuanmi's emotional changes, he knew that it was nothing but self-deception.
"Xuanmi, how are Mother and your younger siblings?"
Sanemi Shinazugawa asked Genya, explaining that he hadn't seen Genya's mother and the others for over a month since leaving Li Lei's alternate dimension. He missed his mother dearly and wanted to know how his mother and younger siblings were doing.
"My mother and younger siblings? They are fine and sleeping soundly."
Upon hearing his brother Sanemi's question, Shinazugawa Genya told him what he knew.
"Yeah, that's good."
Hearing Genya's neither good nor bad answer, Shinazugawa Sanemi felt much more at ease.
The best news for him is that his mother, brother, and sister, who have become ghosts, remain quietly asleep as long as nothing changes.
"Xuanmi, are you going to return to that space you came from this time?"
Looking at Genmi, Sanemi asked the question that had been on his mind the most.
"The master didn't say anything, he just told me to come out and do what I wanted to do with you."
Is that so? Do what you want to do. After hearing Genmi's reply, Sanemi frowned, somewhat puzzled by Li Lei's thoughts.
As Shimi pondered the meaning of Li Lei's words, a glance at the blood-red blade in front of him revealed what Li Lei wanted him to do.
It seems his mission is to kill demons while feeding the sword. So what is Genmi's mission?
Sanemi couldn't figure it out for a moment, and looked at his younger brother Genmi, wanting to ask, but the words were on the tip of his tongue when he suddenly didn't want to ask anymore.
The fact that Xuanmi didn't tell him immediately meant that this mission was either shady or something his superiors had ordered him to do. Even if he asked now, he wouldn't get the answer he wanted.
A hasty statement would not only embarrass Xuanmi, but could also damage the relationship between the brothers. Since that's the case, he had no reason to ask any further questions.
"Xuanmi, I'm going to kill demons and save more people. Do you want to come with me?"
After a moment of contemplation, Shinazugawa Sanemi asked Genya.
"Brother, I...I have something to do, so...I won't go."
Upon hearing his older brother Sanemi's invitation, Genya wanted to accept, but the thought of eating demons to provide the adults with information about their physical bodies made him reluctant to accept.
Seeing the unspeakable unease written all over Genmi's face, he responded in a humble voice. Sanemi pondered for a moment and then smiled.
"Haha, very good. Xuanmi, you finally have your own opinions. It's been more than a month since I last saw you, Xuanmi, you've really grown up. I'm very happy. I would only be truly unhappy if you agreed to come with me."
"Brother, I..."
Looking at his brother Sanemi's current state, Genya felt sad and wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
"It's alright, Xuanmi. Go do what you need to do. Don't worry about my feelings."
Sanemi Shinazugawa spoke to Genya, offering words of comfort.
Hearing his brother Sanemi's encouragement, Shinazugawa Genya seemed to have made up his mind. His eyes revealed a firm resolve.
"Yes, I understand, brother," Xuanmi nodded in reply.
And so the two brothers set off separately, moving towards their own ideal paths and continuing to do what they wanted to do.
……
In the bamboo forest of Mount Sagiri, beside a giant boulder as tall as a person, stood a boy with scars on his face and flesh-colored medium-length hair. His silver eyes were fixed on the boulder, and his hands gripped his Nichirin Blade tightly.
The boy used the Water Breathing technique from the entire series, wielding his sword with both hands to slash at the boulder.
"Go for it, Sabito, you can do it!"
As he swung his sword, Sabito gave himself a pep talk.
