Meeting Saeko's father.

*12 years after reincarnation*

Now I am 12 years old, but I look like 15. My appearance has changed a lot over the years. My body was full of muscles, although they were not visible under the clothes, but if you take it off, you can see a full set of abs, strong biceps and sculpted leg muscles. Of course, my face has also changed, all the baby fat has disappeared, my nose has become more expressive, but my eyes have undergone the biggest change, they have become blue like the ocean, if a person looks into them even for a few seconds, he will be fascinated by them. I'm even thinking about wearing glasses or a headband like Satoru Gojo.

During this time, I greatly increased my status and skills, now I can be compared to a trained soldier. This is what my current status looks like.

Over the past 3 years, I stopped going to competitions, as I realized that there is practically no combat experience in them. I decided to tell my parents about my decision, they fully supported me, but this caused a stir at school, they even tried to force me to go to competitions, because because of me they get a decent scholarship for the school.

After I left the club, I started doing kendo at the dojo. Thanks to my talent, I quickly acquired the skills of sword fighting, I was even called a monster or even the second Miyamoto Musashi. In the last stages, I always took 1st place, although I only went to get combat experience.

Because of my talent, many of the famous swordsmen came to the dojo for me to become their student. To choose a teacher, I asked them to spar with me, although they complained because they thought I was insulting them, but after sparring, they realized that I do not need a teacher, because with the help of my talent, I quickly learn skills. After this incident, they stopped coming to me, but recently a man of about 35 came, he was dressed in a black kimono and stood out with his aura. He had a noble aura of a warrior, when I looked at him I felt that he reminded me of someone, but deciding not to think, I asked him why he came here.

As it turned out, he is well acquainted with the owner of the dojo. After drinking a cup of tea with him, he asked me to fight him, as he had heard of my skill. I gladly agreed as I felt that his sword skill was equal to or even stronger than mine.

When we went out into the yard, sparring immediately began. It was my longest sparring, we fought for 46 minutes. Despite my best efforts, I lost. I confess that this was my most productive match, during our fight I significantly improved my fencing skills.

After the match, I approached him and pointed out: "Can I learn from you?"

He sighed and said, "No, you need to develop your own style, your talent will help you create a sword style much better than mine."

Hearing his words, I remembered the physical breath of the Demon Slayer World.

"Then could you tell me your name, I would like to say it again to fight you," I said.

"Usually my name is Master Busujima, but you can call Takeshi Busujima"

When I learned his last name, I immediately knew that he was Saeko's father, no wonder he has such a good swordsmanship. I immediately decided to establish a connection with him in order to get to know Saeka in the future.

A month later, I came to Takeshi's house. His house was Japanese-style, the yard was large, it had a pond, a chashitsu (tea house, for tea ceremonies) and a dojo where members of the Busujima family were currently training.

After Takeshi showed his territory, he invited me into the house. At the entrance we were met by little Saeko. At the moment, she is only 5 years old, although I liked her in a past life, but I am not a lolicon, so I did not think to seduce her.

When Saeko left, Takeshi-san introduced us. Ryu is my daughter Saeko.

"Nice to meet Saeko-chan," I said.

"Nice to meet you Ryu-san, my father told me about you. He even called you the most talented swordsman." She seems to have loved kendo since she was a child, because an ordinary child wouldn't talk so enthusiastically about swordsmanship.

"Yes, it is quite true that my talent is much higher than your father, I will soon surpass him," I said, but deep down he thought that without blessings he would not achieve much.

After talking with Saeko for a bit, I followed Takeshi into the living room. Sitting down on the rug, we started talking to him.

He asked, "So you came here to spar?"

"Yes, I would like to fight again"

— No need to hurry, how about some tea?

"With pleasure," I said.

When we were talking over a cup of tea, I asked about his wife. He said with a sad expression on his face: "During the pregnancy, my wife had complications, the doctors could only save her at the cost of the life of the child, but she refused and wanted to have a child. She died after giving birth. "

I sighed, I felt sorry for Saeko, because she grew up without a mother.

Deciding to change the subject, I asked him about Saeko, when he started talking about his daughter, his eyes began to glow, although he was very strict around her. Takeshi also said that she has a talent for kendo. We talked for a couple of hours and then went to the dojo.

When we entered the dojo, everyone looked at us.

Taking the bokken, I followed it calmly, with full concentration, I struck first. My bokken was moving fast, but he was able to block it even though his arm started to hurt. Takeshi looked at me with a frown on his face and thought about what a terrible talent I have, because even a month ago I would not have been able to deal serious damage.

Our duel lasted 37 minutes and in the end I knocked the bokken out of his hands.

When the boken dropped from his hands, the hall fell silent. A second later, Saeko was the first to yell, "Wow, this is father's first defeat."

After heated discussions of the duel began, I approached Takeshi and shook his hand.

He looked me in the eyes and said, "Ryu, that was a great fight, your talent is potentially terrible, for the first time in your life you see a person learn so quickly."

"Thanks for the fight, thanks to you I improved my skills"

"Ryu, I would like to ask you to teach Saeko, with you she can improve her swordsmanship."

"Of course, she is a nice girl, I would like to teach her, even though this is the first time I am teaching another how to swordsmanship."

"Thank you Ryu"

After that day, I visited them several times a week to teach Saeko. I confess that she has great talent. I started the training by revealing her understanding of kendo as many swordsmen get lost in the path of the sword and fail to reach great heights. I advised her to find the goal of her fencing. It is thanks to the goal that we do not give up in the middle of the path, we will go to the end, honing our skills.

Two days later, I again came to Saeko, as soon as she saw me, she immediately dragged me to the place of training.

Looking at me seriously, she said, "Sensei, I have found my purpose. I want to surpass you," even though she said so. but she thought that if she surpassed him, then in the future he would be her husband.

When I heard her goal, I smiled and said, "It's a good goal, but know that it won't be easy, and stop calling me sensei, I said call me brother."

She just nodded and looked down with a reddened face, though I didn't see it.

Several months have passed since that incident. During these months I helped Saeko grow a lot, my training helped her to stay calm and improve her mind. Now, when sparring with other members of Busujima, she does not rush forward, but assesses the enemy and finds weaknesses.

Despite Saeko's training, I wasted no time and tried to create the Demon Slayer Breath Technique, however, I encountered an obstacle that prevented me from learning the technique, when I asked the system, it replied [Master, I recommend that you improve your body to unlock the divine body on 10%]

On the advice of the system, I trained for another hour at Busujima's house, and then went home.
