The Brothers' Decision and Their Parents' Understanding

"What do you mean, 'huh'? I'm asking if you have any needles at home."

Yes, there are.

Seeing that the Scribe was getting impatient, Tokito Saburo quickly replied.

"Very good. Go and light a fire, disinfect the needle, bring a basin of hot water, and find a clean cloth."

With a wave of his hand, Scribe signaled Tokito Saburo to hurry up and prepare.

He then went to the window, opened it, and let some fresh air in.

Shortly after, Tokito Saburo came over with sterilized needles, hot water, and towels.

"You can go out now. I'll call you if I need anything."

Scribe waved his hand, said a few words, and then walked over to Tokito Kasumi to begin the treatment.

Watching the Scribe's back as he performed treatment, Tokito Saburo inexplicably felt a sense of respect for this doctor he was meeting for the first time.

He shook his head, then quietly closed the door and went out.

By the time the Scribe came out carrying the basin of water, it was already well past night.

Seeing that the once clear water had turned into a pool of somewhat viscous, dark reddish-brown substance, Tokito Saburo swallowed hard. He spoke slowly.

"Mister Scribe, may I ask..."

"Um."

Interrupting him, the Scribe replied.

"I gave your wife some basic treatment. Although it didn't completely cure her, she's out of danger."

The Scribe's words were plain, but somehow they carried a certain credibility.

Whether it was Tokito Saburo or the Tokito Brothers, upon hearing these words, their hearts finally settled down.

After stretching his body, Scribe suddenly pointed to the room behind him and said.

Aren't you going in to check on her?

"Won't this disturb Xia's rest?"

"If it's disturbing, why would I let you in? I have a responsibility to my patients."

"Oh, okay, thank you, Mister Scribe."

Upon hearing what the Scribe said, a look of joy immediately appeared on Tokito Saburo's face.

The Tokito Brothers nearby, did the same. After exchanging a glance, they ran into the room.

As soon as they ran inside, they saw Shi Touxia sitting on the bed, leaning against the pillow, slowly looking out at the Tokito Kasumi.

Noticing her husband and son enter, Tokito Kasumi turned around and looked at them.

At this moment, her originally pale complexion had recovered somewhat, and a slight blush had returned to her cheeks.

Her hair, which had turned gray from the torment of illness, was no longer messy; Tokito Kasumi simply draped it over her shoulder.

Most importantly, they saw that gentle smile on their wives' (mothers') faces again.

"Xia (Mother)!"

Upon seeing this, the three of them immediately ran towards the bedside.

Tears of emotion welled up in her eyes, soon soaking the sheets.

Seeing her husband and sons so excited, Tokito Kasumi's eyes couldn't help but well up with tears.

"I'm sorry for the trouble I've caused you during this time."

"No, your recovery is the best thing that matters."

Tokito Saburo's voice trembled slightly, showing how shocked he was by his wife's recovery.

The brothers Tokito Ichiro and Tokito Muichiro were the same; each of them held one of their mother's hands and burst into tears.

"Look at you, why are you crying?"

Seeing the tears on her two sons' faces, Tokito Kasumi wanted to comfort them, but the tears in her own eyes grew thicker and thicker.

Leaning against the wall, Scribe looked at the family and thought to himself.

"This is only the first step in the treatment; a full recovery is still a long way off."

"But never mind, now is not the time to talk about this."

Shaking his head helplessly, Scribe quietly walked outside and slowly closed the door.

Let's leave tonight for their family.

Time flies, and by the time the Tokito Family realized what was happening, it was already daylight outside.

Just as they were wondering where the Scribe had gone, there was a knock on the door.

"Hey, open the door, the second day of treatment is starting."

Upon hearing the sound, Tokito Saburo rushed out and opened the door.

Standing outside the door were Scribe and Koinatsu.

The two carried some medical instruments and jars in their hands, and the Scribe also carried a large basket on his back, which was filled with many herbs that Tokito Saburo had never seen before.

"Mister Scribe, what is this...?"

The Tokito Brothers, who had followed Tokito Saburo out, looked at the scene before them and asked instinctively.

"What are you doing? Can't you tell?"

He handed everything in his hands to Tokito Saburo, and then gestured for Koinatsu Scribe give the items to the Tokito Brothers.

"Koinatsu, just give the things to those two, go have a cup of tea and rest for a bit."

As he spoke, he walked into the house.

"You three, give me some help, okay?"

At this moment, the three men, who had just realized what was happening, shouted loudly.

"No!"

"Then hurry up and get in there to work."

With a laugh and a curse, Scribe waved his hand and went inside.

Tokito Kasumi's illness was relatively simple, but due to the lack of proper treatment and her weak constitution, her condition worsened rapidly.

It took several days for the Scribe to completely eradicate the root of the disease and avoid leaving any sequelae.

"I've written the prescription here. Just prepare it for her on time."

Scribe handed a note to Tokito Saburo and continued.

"So, problem solved, I have something else to tell you."

Although the group has only known each other for a short time, Scribe has already gained the complete trust of the Tokito Family.

Upon hearing this, a solemn expression appeared on the faces of Tokito Saburo and the brothers Muiichiro Uichirou.

"I understand, please go ahead Mister Scribe."

After putting the note away, Tokito Saburo gestured for his two sons to sit beside him.

Koinatsu sat next to Scribe and poured him a cup of tea.

After taking a small sip of his drink, Scribe looked at the three people in front of him, including Shi Tou, and slowly began to tell a story.

"This is a story about the past of your Tokito Clan."

Chapter 191 The Brothers' Decision and Their Parents' Understanding

The story told by the Scribe is quite complex. It not only tells the story of Tsugikuni Yoriichi and Tsugikuni Michikatsu, but also reveals the existence of demons and the Demon Slayer Corps.

In this conversation, he also recounted in detail what he had seen about Tsugikuni Michikatsu.

This includes the time he hid in the shadows and watched as Tsugikuni Michikatsu a demon, and the later attack by the three demons together.

The story spans a long period of time, but all three members of the Tokito family heard it clearly.

Finally, the Scribe concluded with a single statement.

"In conclusion, your Tokito Family are the bloodline descendants of Tsugikuni Michikatsu then."

With her hands clasped together in front of her, the Scribe lowered her head and quietly watched them.

"Although I don't know exactly what happened among you, not only have your surnames changed, but there isn't even a trace of historical record left, I can guarantee that this is absolutely correct."

The reason the Scribe was so certain was because it was Kokushibo himself in the original work who said that the Kokushibo Tokito Family were his descendants.

As a powerful being, and a demon sensitive to blood, there must be a basis for his words.

After all, he can't just find a hat to put on himself.

After hearing the story of the Scribe, Tokito Saburo sighed.

Uichirou and Muiichiro also instinctively shuddered, their faces turning pale.

Their ancestors not only did not die, but also became cannibalistic monsters that threatened human lives.

Just thinking about it made them feel a little dizzy.

Of course, they weren't unaware that the Scribe might be joking.

But the question is, if this is really a joke, then what is the Scribe's purpose?

We can't just cure Tokito Kasumi, gain their trust, and then just tell them a made-up story to scare them.

"It turns out that such things happened in our ancestors' lineage."

With trembling hands, Tokito Saburo poured himself a glass of water, drank it all in one gulp, and his complexion finally improved.

Any normal person would probably react similarly upon learning of this.

"So, what are you planning to do?"

Without giving them much time to think, the Scribe looked directly at their expressions and continued to ask.

"Are you planning to find a safe place to hide, or are you going to take care of everything?"

Shaking his head, Tokito Saburo gave a wry smile.

"I don't know. Right now, my mind is completely blank, and I can't think at all."

Scribe can understand Tokito Saburo's situation.

In the original work Tokito Muichiro also became a Pillar after losing his memory, relying solely on his anger towards demons to wield a sword.

If a child of eleven or twelve still remembers the deaths of their parents and the murder of their brother by a ghost, it would probably take them a long time to recover.

"Think it over carefully. Whatever decision you make, I will understand."

Despite saying that, when Tokito Saburo heard it, the guilt on his face deepened.

Compared to their father, the Tokito Brothers were surprisingly indifferent.

Because of their young age, they have not yet developed a mature understanding of the world.

Whether it was the cunning and sharp-tongued Uichirou or the cheerful and friendly Muiichiro, they both had the same thought when the Scribe asked them about their decision.

"The affairs of the Tokito Clan should be settled by the Tokito Clan!"

Sure enough, as night fell, the Scribe, standing outside and gazing at the moon, spoke slowly.

"Aren't you afraid your parents will be angry if you do this?"

After saying that, he turned and looked at the shadows behind him.

Realizing they had been discovered, the Tokito Brothers stopped trying to hide and emerged from the darkness.

"We did not discuss this matter with our father and mother."

Uichirou glanced at his younger brother and spoke.

"We just feel that we should bear the consequences of what our ancestors caused."

Is this what you truly think?
