>>5441951“So, we should try to practice meditation and a chant together, right?” you ask both Buu and Melchior. “Something to synch up with while meditating towards the sword.” You snap your fingers. “Oh I’ve got it! Buu, let’s try this chant.”
He tilts his head curiously as you set mom’s sword a good distance away from the Muramasa, resting the blade down in front of you. Buu sits down on a little log, kicking his legs and humming a tune to himself. “Chant, chant, chant, gonna chant a chant~!”
“Ahem.” You clap your hands together and take a meditative stance. “Yu Mo Gui Gwai Fai Di Zao… Yu Mo Gui Gwai Fai Di Zao…”
Melchior gives an amused smirk. “Ah, something designed to ward off and banish evil spirits. Not a bad choice, Gohan.”
Buu is confused at first, but shrugs and attempts it himself. “Yiu… mo… gwai… gwaai… faai… di… jau…” he attempts to repeat, not exactly sure if he’s doing it right or not, but trying his best.
And… to your surprise, there is a slight effect. The looming presence emanating from the blade is… quenched, if only by a little. It would probably take hours for there to be any real noticeable progress on this, but… still. There’s a reaction.
And then Buu starts to clap and laugh. “It worked! It worked! Hahaha, Buu did it, Gohan!”
The break in concentration lets the presence try to reassert itself, so looks like this will take much more concentration, too. Still… proof of concept. The chant helps. Melchior actually comes over to pat Buu on the head. “That you did, little Buu. Good job.” He then looks at you, nodding at the sword so you move it away from the Majin. “I believe it has something to do with the concentration of positive energy within you.”
Buu stands up and places his hands on his hips, puffing his chest up proudly. “Buu wanna do good!”
Picking up the sword, you hold your other hand out for a fist bump with him. “And you will, lil’ bud. Heck, if this is what we can do from the start, imagine where we’ll be a year from now!”
