But it was precisely because of this that he felt an even greater sense of unease.
My approach of "buying someone and then ignoring them" is no different from someone who takes possession of their clothes and then abandons them.
Shaking his head, Scribe's smile was somewhat helpless.
"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Tell me first how you learned Breathing Technique."
How did you learn Breathing Technique?
Kanao Tsuyuri blinked, clearly not understanding what the Scribe meant.
"Well, that's right. Kanae Kocho shouldn't have been teaching you Flower Breathing, but I could still sense the Breathing Technique in you."
"Ah, that's what I learned by watching Lady Flower Hashira and copying her movements."
Suddenly realizing what had happened, Kanao Tsuyuri directly explained the whole story.
As she continued to explain, the Scribe's expression gradually changed.
From initial disbelief to later shock, it eventually turned into a deep sense of helplessness and admiration.
From Kanao Tsuyuri's words, Scribe could tell that her eyes seemed different from the others.
If she concentrates, many things that normally seem fast will appear to slow down in her eyes.
When she was little, she instinctively avoided being beaten by her parents because of the special nature of her eyes.
Of course, doing so only resulted in more insults and beatings.
This name, which originates from talent, can be called "dynamic vision".
Many people also refer to it as "bullet time".
It was precisely through this ability that Kanao Tsuyuri saw the Flower Breathing used by Kanae Kocho during her daily training.
With a calm mind, although she couldn't see all of Kanae Kocho's movements, she could roughly see the corresponding positions.
Simply put, it means knowing which part should be done at what time, but Kanao Tsuyuri can't see or understand the extent of the action or how to make the transitions smooth.
The Scribe had to admit that this talent was beyond the reach of ordinary people.
It feels somewhat like a weaker version of Tsugikuni Yoriichi's vision, but it's not in the same direction.
One is to see the internal structure of a living organism, including details such as blood flow.
One is to put pressure on the eyes, enabling them to see small and rapid movements.
But overall, it is a rare talent.
It is precisely because of this talent that Kanao Tsuyuri was able to create her own style based on Flower Breathing.
"Final Form * Crimson Vermilion Eye"
Although its use can overload the eyes, leading to bleeding in the eyeballs and staining the iris red, it also carries the risk of blindness.
In the Scribe's view, this ability can be improved.
Of course, Kanao Tsuyuri hasn't mastered Flower Breathing yet, so naturally, the "Crimson Vermilion Eye" hasn't been created.
By the time we help her improve this ability, it will be at least a year later.
"Alright, I'll talk to Kanae Kocho for you tomorrow."
Scribe Kanao Tsuyuri's head and smiled slightly.
"So please stop wiping your tears on my clothes, they're soaked."
After hearing the Scribe's words, Kanao Tsuyuri had just stopped crying and started laughing, blushed shyly.
Her earlobes turned red at a visible speed, and the blush on her cheeks was also clearly visible.
With a laugh, the Scribe couldn't help but joke.
"Putting everything else aside, Kanao Tsuyuri, the way you revealed your true feelings just now was really cute."
Although the Scribe didn't mean anything by it, Kanao, who was a little Kanao Tsuyuri, blushed even more after hearing it.
She lowered her head slightly, as if she didn't want anyone to see her expression or demeanor.
"Go back and rest. I'll take you to see them tomorrow."
"Good."
Nodding, Kanao Tsuyuri obediently left.
Before leaving, she made sure to take the "physical evidence" she left behind with her.
Since I'll be able to formally learn Breathing Technique soon, I don't need these things anymore; I'll just keep them as a memento.
Watching Kanao Tsuyuri's increasingly joyful figure gradually disappear into the distance, Scribe smiled knowingly.
But suddenly, he thought of something.
"Wait, did I say we'd discuss it tomorrow morning?"
Looking up at the completely dark sky, Scribe's lips twitched involuntarily.
"Is it too late to come up with an explanation now?"
Chapter 171 Unexpectedly Smooth Sailing
The next day, just as dawn was breaking, the Scribe pushed open the door and came out.
He pressed his temples with his fingers, his face full of worry.
Although staying up all night wasn't a big problem for him, what really exhausted him wasn't his body, but his mind.
He spent several hours just thinking of what to say.
More than a dozen plans were put forward, but they were all rejected one by one.
Feeling a bit overwhelmed, Scribe couldn't help but regret setting the time so early.
If I had known it would be this difficult, I would have waited a few more days.
I should at least try to find out what the Kocho Sisters think first.
Kanae Kocho is easy to deal with, but Shinobu's situation is probably not so simple.
Thinking of this, the Scribe couldn't help but think of Tamayo.
They're both girls, so why is there such a big difference?
If only Tamayo were here with me right now.
Come to think of it, it seems like it's been a long time since I've been back. I wonder how Tamayo and the others are doing.
After I finish speaking for Kanao Tsuyuri, I'll go back and check on her.
After washing her face and doing some light exercise, Scribe went out for a meal.
After finishing her meal, she went to Kanao Tsuyuri's room.
Somewhat surprisingly, Kanao Tsuyuri had already washed up and was waiting for him outside.
Seeing the tired look on her face and the bags under her eyes, Scribe smiled.
It seems someone didn't sleep well last night because they were excited.
Instead of "flirting" with Kanao Tsuyuri, the Scribe led her toward the Butterfly Mansion.
Considering that the Kocho Sisters had just finished a mission and encountered something like Doma not long ago, they probably wouldn't be going out for the time being.
If we calculate the timing, it should be that they were preparing medicine or conducting research in the Butterfly Mansion.
Just as the Scribe had suspected, upon inquiring at the Butterfly Mansion, the Kocho Sisters were indeed inside.
"Aoi, thank you."
With a wave of his hand, the Scribe thanked Kanzaki Aoi for telling him the news.
With a slight smile, Kanzaki Aoi didn't say anything, but simply took the freshly washed clothes and left.
After resolving her inner turmoil, she was no longer confused.
You can shine anywhere.
After bringing Kanao Tsuyuri into the Butterfly Mansion, the Scribe quickly found the Kocho Sisters.
Perhaps they had just finished work and had rested for a while, as the two sisters were eating something.
"Oh, Mister Scribe, what brings you here?"
Kanae Kocho seemed somewhat surprised by the Scribe's sudden visit.
"Ahem, I'm here today because I have something to discuss with you?"
After coughing twice, the Scribe showed a hint of unease on his face.
Discuss?
Kanae Kocho stood up, a hint of curiosity on her face.
Shinobu Butterfly narrowed her eyes, as if she was planning something.
"Well, let the person involved speak for themselves."
After speaking, the Scribe stepped aside, allowing Kanao Tsuyuri to step out from behind him.
"Kanao Tsuyuri?"
Seeing Kanao Tsuyuri following the Scribe into the Butterfly Mansion, the Kocho Sisters seemed to understand something.
They were all intelligent people, so they naturally knew what Kanao Tsuyuri was thinking.
It seems she has found a "capable helper" this time.
"Flower Hashira -sama, Shinobu-sama."
After taking a deep breath, Kanao Tsuyuri looked directly into Kanae Kocho and Shinobu's eyes.
"Please grant me permission to learn Breathing Technique!"
Having anticipated this situation, the Kocho Sisters showed no surprise.
"Oh, so, Mister Scribe, Kanao Tsuyuri asked you to help her?"
After glancing at Kanao Tsuyuri, Shinobu Butterfly finally focused her gaze on the Scribe.
"I didn't realize that Mister Scribe was really 'helpful'."
"Well, actually it wasn't entirely Kanao Tsuyuri got rid of me."
With such an air of righteousness on his face, how could the Scribe possibly admit that he had asked for it himself?
Just kidding, if they find out, it'll be even harder to get past Shinobu Butterfly.
"Shall we discuss it?"
As if she had gleaned something from Scribe's words, Shinobu Butterfly smiled slightly and looked at Scribe.
"Then I wonder, how does Mister Scribe intend to discuss this with us?"
It must be said that the Shinobu Butterfly.
But when Scribe saw the curve of her lips, he always felt uneasy.
While Scribe and Shinobu Butterfly were "going head-to-head," Kanae Kocho pulled Kanao Tsuyuri in front of her as well.
"Kanao Tsuyuri, can you tell me why you want to become a Demon Slayer so much?"
Kanae Kocho's voice was very soft, and there was no trace of condemnation towards Kanao Tsuyuri in it.
On the contrary, it's more about care and concern.
"Do you think that Shinobu and I didn't care about you by assigning you to the nursing staff position?"
"No, Lady Flower Hashira."
Kanae Kocho shook her head, her face showing no sign of resentment.
"I know that it was for my own good that they arranged for me to be placed in the Butterfly Mansion."
"But I don't want things to continue like this."
