That person has indeed been trying to become his apprentice recently, but Tumen really doesn't want to take him on because he's definitely not cut out for swordsmanship.
Practicing swordsmanship requires diligent practice day after day, but his older brother was very lazy and refused to practice hard.
Yohei Kato actually claimed that his older brother practiced diligently every day and eventually defeated his beloved student? How is that possible?
If his brother were truly that diligent, he wouldn't have said that he wasn't suited to sword practice.
Even if you don't have talent, it doesn't matter. The Mingjing Zhishui style emphasizes temperament, but unfortunately, he doesn't have temperament either.
Is it really possible for someone to change their fortunes every thirty years, suddenly becoming motivated and changing their personality once they are looked down upon?
Kato Yohei earnestly pleaded with Yae no Miko to save his brother, because his brother was about to establish his own sect and couldn't afford to have any problems at this crucial moment.
[Yae no Miko: "Wait, I'm a little confused. Do you want to save your brother, or do you want to realize your dream and establish your own sect?"]
Yae no Miko had already figured it out: this person wasn't really worried about his brother; he was just worried about not being able to make money.
No wonder Yae no Miko said it wasn't important. You can tell from Kato Yohei's attitude that either he doesn't care about his brother, or his brother isn't actually in any danger.
The specifics are still uncertain, so Yae no Miko plans to ask again.
Yae no Miko continued, "Oh, by the way, have you heard any interesting rumors lately? You can tell me about them."
Yohei Kato's voice trembled, seemingly flustered: "Wha...what rumors? I...I haven't heard of them!"
Fox Beauty's eyes gradually sharpened; the two fox ladies in reality had already guessed a thing or two.
This matter is definitely related to that strange rumor, the rumor that it can help people fulfill their wishes. In addition, with the two incantations that Shunji recited, the two of them already understood.
An old friend has woken up, but I don't know which old friend it is this time.
Ying remained calm, and it was unclear whether she had guessed it or not. In any case, as long as I kept a cold face, no one would know that I was actually quite dull.
What, you don't think I'm stupid, do you?
In the story, Yae no Miko had naturally heard the rumors and understood what was going on after seeing the incantation, so she didn't take it too seriously.
In the end, they actually pushed the task onto the traveler, just to let the traveler understand the 'seriousness' of the matter, so that the traveler could 'help them' later.
However, Yae no Miko still followed by his side, saying she didn't care, but her actions betrayed her words.
The traveler didn't object. After all, adventurers are just there to solve quests. It doesn't matter who gets the quest, as long as there's a reward.
When the group arrived at Konta Village, they discovered that Kato Yohei's older brother was not in the village.
Speaking of which, Konta Village is a 'feng shui treasure land', so how come so many things happen here?
Yae no Miko instructed Kato Hei to find the 'tools' needed for exorcism, while she and the traveler went to ask the villagers about the Kato brothers.
[Nobuo: "Ah, are you here to collect a debt? Yohei said not to worry, he'll pay it back soon after he takes on an apprentice..."]
The fact that the travelers immediately assumed they were there to collect debts suggests that the Kato brothers did indeed owe a lot of money and had been frequently harassed by creditors.
When the traveler inquired about Kato Shingo's apprenticeship in swordsmanship, Nobuo confirmed that it was true, but Shingo was expelled from the school by Tsuchimon due to his laziness.
Xinwu harbored resentment because of this, saying that Tumen was blind and that he wanted to settle the score with his disciple.
Tumen could only watch helplessly, realizing that his momentary soft-heartedness had brought trouble upon himself. Fortunately, he hadn't taken him in yet.
Nobuo continued, saying that later Shingo defeated Tsuchimon's beloved disciple, but most villagers didn't believe it because Shingo was always lying around cursing and swearing, how could he possibly be able to beat someone?
One person's account cannot be taken at face value, so the traveler went to ask a second person.
The second person was named Kenji, who was a know-it-all. He was present when Shingo and the Tumen disciples fought.
He said that Shingo did win at the time, but no one expected that Shingo would become a different person as soon as he drew his sword. Even Tsuchimon's beloved disciple, who was not weak, was no match for him.
However, after drawing his sword, Xin Wuzhen seemed to become a different person. He became much more diligent and even developed an intolerance for tofu.
When it comes to not being able to stand tofu, readers are reminded of one person—Araki Ichito.
It was mentioned in Arataki Ichito's previous mission that he couldn't stand beans, but it's unclear whether he's the only one like this or if all the demons are like this.
If all demons are like this, then could Kato Shingo's sudden change be due to 'demonic possession'?
But this Inazuma Oni clan is a species, not a real 'ghost', so how can it possess you?
Could Kato Shingo really switch species? Suddenly becoming a demon? That's even more absurd than switching genders!

Araki Ichito also became interested. He didn't understand what was happening, but he 'smelled' the scent of his kind.
If you're talking about our kind, then Araki Ichito won't be sleepy anymore.
In the story, Yohei Kato returns and finds his brother, who is 'taking a bath' under a waterfall not far away.
[Kato Shingo muttered to himself, then shouted, "Can you feel... the... spirit of a man?!"]
"Establishing a school of thought... Ha! Superficial... How can a real man have such... laughable ambitions!"
A reader commented: "What a strong sense of déjà vu! This really is the Oni race, right? It fits my stereotype of the Oni race perfectly."
Moreover, judging from its appearance, it must be a red oni. The blue oni's behavior is at least 'calm', clearly not as passionate as the red oni.
[Shingo Kato's voice suddenly became weak, "...I...I can't go on...I'm going to die..."]
"Yohei...Yohei! Help me...help me!"
Now the readers understand, it really is 'possessed by a demon'! So Inazuma's demon clan has this ability?
Arataki Ichito shared the same curiosity: "So the Oni clan has this ability? Why don't I have it? Could it be that I'm not actually a pureblood?"
He didn't even doubt his own lineage, let alone the rumored spell.
Yohei Kato's older brother was in great pain, and his breathing was gradually weakening. He called out to Yohei for help.
Strangely, Kato Yohei didn't immediately say he wanted to save his brother. Instead, he avoided eye contact and kept saying he knew nothing.
Yae no Miko's aggressive questioning was attacking Yohei's psychological defenses.
She mentioned Shingo's weakness, Shingo's resentment, and the affection between Shingo and Yohei, yet Yohei remained hesitant.
Seeing this, Yae no Miko changed her approach, saying:
"Okay, it's fine if you don't want to tell the truth."
"However, after Shingo dies, you'll be next."
"Even if you run to the ends of the earth, it will follow you closely. After all... you were the ones who summoned it."
This was a threat from Yae no Miko, but Yohei believed it to be true.
When Yohei heard that it was his turn next, he broke down.
He could disregard family ties and his brother's life, but he was worried about his own life.
Upon hearing that his life might be threatened, Yohei finally agreed to tell the truth.
It turns out that he and his brother used a spell to make a wish, hoping to become swordsmen. Their wish came true, and his brother became very powerful, but at the same time, his personality changed drastically.
The reason why Yohei had been delaying seeking help was because he didn't want his brother to recover.
If his brother recovers, he will become an ordinary person with no talent for swordsmanship. How can he then establish a sect?
How can one pay off debts without establishing a sect and taking on disciples?
In order to pay off his debts, Yohei chose to delay the matter, intending to use his brother to collect the money first.
The problem is that Xinwu's condition is getting worse and worse, as if he has been bewitched. If this gets out, no one will be willing to become his disciple.
Left with no other choice, Yohei had to find someone to treat his brother.
The reason for seeking out Yae no Miko is because Miko is highly skilled. Perhaps he can help my brother recover while retaining his swordsmanship talent, which would allow us to establish a sect and make money!
That's why he intentionally concealed the truth, hoping to deceive Yae no Miko.
Yae no Miko had already seen through this, so she never took it to heart.
However, now that they have arrived, the divine child intends to take action and resolve the situation.
But the Divine Child didn't want to be a sucker who was 'fooled', so she had to force Yohei to tell the truth before she could act.
I'm not helping you because I've been tricked; I'm helping you because my kindness is as great as my wisdom and beauty, haha, do you believe me?
The divine child came not out of kindness, but because it concerned a demon; otherwise, the divine child might not have intervened.
After all, even if the other party continues to make trouble, there will be no danger to their life. They will recover on their own after a while, at most they will be weak for a few days. It is just right as a small punishment for their greed.
If it's something really serious, Yae no Miko will take the initiative to help.
This is Yae no Miko's style of doing things. The Mondstadt Knights will help you find the cat, and Yae no Miko will tease you like a cat, but after teasing you, the cat will be in your arms.
In the story, the divine child did not intend to take action personally. After scattering a bag of salt to force the things summoned by the Kato brothers out of Shingo's body, he handed it over to the traveler.
[Yohei Kato: "Eee ...
The guy who was forced to reveal his true form had a semi-transparent body and looked like a ghost no matter how you looked at him.
He was a ghost in life, and he became a ghost after death. Now he truly is your ghost in life and your ghost in death.
He's a genuine dead man.
Arataki Kazuto was dumbfounded. His brother from the Oni clan was an Oni? No way!
What Ito couldn't stand the most were those flickering, semi-transparent ghosts, but he also really liked his fellow ghosts, which made things really difficult for him.
Fortunately, the traveler wasn't afraid of ghosts and immediately unleashed a flurry of elbow strikes; the 'Black Flash' was a perfect counter to them.
Will it glow? Yes, it will glow!
[Arakawa Koji: "Hehe, hahaha... Not bad, not bad at all! How enjoyable!"]
"I haven't felt this good in a long time!"
He meant, "It's delightful, Ying, I'll probably never forget you in my life."
Anyway, Arakawa Koji had his fun and then just disappeared without a trace.
Now the readers are even more convinced that he is the Red Demon. Even if his name is not mentioned, he is still an Ara. With this personality, if he is not the Red Demon, he must have grown up in the Red Demon's den.
After Arakawa Koji disappeared, Kato Shingo woke up. It was as if he had been in a dream in which he defeated Tsuchimon's disciple.
Such an achievement moved him deeply, even after he had been awake for a long time.
But the dream took a sharp turn for the worse; the dream, which had just started to get better, suddenly turned into a nightmare, and he lost control of his body.
[Yae no Miko threatened the other party: "If we hadn't intervened, your life would have been over very soon. The ghost would then haunt your younger brother, and he would eventually die of exhaustion as well."]
"I don't need to repeat what will happen if you try to obtain power that doesn't belong to you through crooked means, do I?"
The two brothers were startled and repeatedly said they understood and would never dare to do it again.
After the two brothers left, Paimon asked Yae no Miko curiously why he hadn't been willing to help with such a serious matter before.
Yae no Miko smiled and told Paimon that it wasn't actually that serious; she was just trying to scare them.
People won't learn their lesson if you don't scare them.
The two Kato brothers, who were reading a book, were speechless and exchanged an awkward glance.

Now their reputation for being lazy, greedy, and opportunistic is going to spread throughout Teyvat...
Even if they knew there would be no danger, they wouldn't need to use this method. After all, with their current reputation, they'd be lucky if they didn't get pointed at and gossiped about on the street, let alone take on apprentices.
Their appearances were terrible, but the possessed ghost was quite good-looking.
