Keitaro laid on the bed in the hotel room, he needed some rest after a day of work, and drinking.
Using reverse curse technique in order to keep him sober was quite a good idea, he was now getting more familiar with eliminating poison from his system.
Sure it was small progress but he was sure, that with enough time and training, he would be able to achieve his goal.
Keitaro's eyes went to the ceiling of the hotel room, it was a beautiful green color, and his eyes wandered around the room.
He started thinking about the sight, everything around him looked as pretty as ever, but everything seemed to be bland with each other.
He was pretty sure that that he currently only possesses a fraction of the information he needed, at least by the end of this he will be rewarded for his effort.
Taking in a deep breath, Keitaro felt his body relax.
"I am just going to fall asleep"
Keitaro's eyes slowly started to close as the realm of dreams claimed him.
Time skip.
Keitaro was awoken by the sun ray that had managed to pierce through his window, he groaned a bit, not feeling like waking up so early.
His attention however shifted as he felt something lick his face, Keitaro opened his eyes to see his Kitsune companion licking his face.
'master get up, you have work'
"I can never slack off with you around huh"
Akane licked his face once again, It was as if she was trying to tell him to not be a couch potato and to get to work.
"Jeez, I get it!"
Upon saying those words, Keitaro slowly got up from the bed, Akane his Kitsune companion jumped back inside the necklace that was always around his neck.
It was a gift from his grandma.
Keitaro made it toward the bathroom where he proceeded to take a well-deserved shower.
He took his sweet time, making sure to clean each and every single spot on his body.
He made sure that he had thoroughly cleaned himself, using the shampoo he made sure to wash his hair.
Once he was done bathing, Keitaro made sure to clean himself thoroughly, after all, he had a very long day ahead of him.
Once he was done cleaning himself, Keitaro made sure to dress himself up in a fresh pair of clothing.
Keitaro summoned a scroll, as he opened the scroll he noticed something he hadn't seen before.
As his gaze landed on the object he saw it, it was a pair of clothes that he hadn't packed.
On top of the pair of clothes was a small piece of paper, Keitaro reached out his hand to grab the piece of paper.
Upon grabbing the paper, his gaze now lingers on the familiar writing on the paper.
{Birthday Gift for Minato.
This should help you finish the cosplay
From Gojo}
...
..
And low and behold, the outfit was the Jounin outfit alongside the jacket that the shinobi from the village hidden in the leave wore.
Huh, wow, this man really decided to do him like this.
Keitaro sighed a bit as he looked at the clothes, he could burn them.
However, those clothes were a birthday gift from a friend and he wasn't that huge of an asshole.
Keitaro sighed to himself a bit before opening his mouth and saying.
"Let's try them on"
Keitaro put on the clothes and sat down on the bed as he looked at himself in the mirror.
There was no denying it now that he was looking at it from up close, with those clothes on he did look like his previous incarnation.
However, this was a secret that he would take with himself to the grave.
"Welp, time to check on Edgar's progress"
With a thought, Keitaro vanished from the hotel room, reappearing in the familiar confines of the Worthington mansion.
The first thing that he noticed was the fact that his barrier seemed to have been getting attacked repeatedly over the last 18 hours.
Thankfully, the barrier took no damage, that was all due to his great skill in barrier techniques and seals in general.
The barrier that he had created around the curse in the basement was made of tiny hexagonal-shaped barriers that were attached to each other.
In other words, it was very hard to break the bond between them, with the binding vow that made sure that everyone apart from the creature could enter and leave the barrier as they would like, the curse was essentially trapped down there for as long as someone would want it to be caged.
Keitaro had purposefully made sure that the creature was not in chains, if he had done that then the creature would have had zero chance of escaping, however, Keitaro knew that the reason the creature turned into a vengeful curse to begin with and he did not feel like being cursed.
Keitaro's eye finally noticed the solidified liquid metal chunks that were strewed about.
'so he has been practicing'
Keitaro looked at all the stuff that the boy had made, he saw some swords, their shapes looked rather fluid and organic, he also noticed a piece of armor.
All in all, he could see the boy progress, that was good.
The butler who was in charge of this place approached Keitaro with a look of quiet admiration.
"Master Keitaro, your tutelage has borne extraordinary fruit. The young master's abilities have surpassed all our expectations."
"He put in the work necessary to improve, it all on him"
Keitaro's eyes then went toward Edgar, the boy's body was covered in sweat, and his eyes seemed to be gleaming with an intense urge to create. In his hands, the boy held a newly forged sword, the sword blade was shimmering with an otherworldly glow.
'wait is that what I think it is'
Keitaro looked at the sword in the boy's hands, there was a faint feeling to the sword that told Keitaro, it was a special blade.
"Master look what I have made!"
The excitement in the boy's voice could be felt for miles away.
"Let me see?"
The boy handed Keitaro the sword, and Keitaro tested his intuition and used the reverse curse technique on the blade.
The blade glowed a strange pink color as it changed, Keitaro handed the boy the blade and watched as the blade still kept the reverse curse energy.
Did this boy make a sword that could?
