The atmosphere in the reception room was slightly cold.
The adults exchanged pleasantries for a while longer. When Morisawa and Yamano's purpose was fulfilled, they bid farewell and left.
The Tsurumi father and daughter escorted them to the temple gate.
After the guests left, Tsurumi Tomonobu's previously smiling expression changed slightly, becoming somewhat forlorn.
As mentioned during the idle chat earlier, Tsurumi Tomonobu's origin, the Kurogane Family, is actually considered a family with a legacy in exorcism.
The swordsmanship passed down by the Kurogane Family, once it reaches the level of mastering the "Silkworm Thread Strike," is considered the initial step into transcendence.
A swordsman capable of wielding the Silkworm Thread Strike, along with a decent exorcism weapon, would have some ability to subdue supernatural tales.
However, unlike the once-prosperous Tsurumi Family, the Kurogane Family has always remained at a third-rate level.
