The Butterfly Mansion Ward.
Kanae took a pen and wrote down the patient's condition in a notebook. After a moment, seemingly having finished, Kanae put the notebook down and gave instructions to the figure on the bed.
" Saito- kun, your leg is broken this time, and it will probably take two or three months to recover. During this time, remember not to use your injured foot again, otherwise it may worsen the injury!"
"Yes, I will certainly remember your instructions, Kanae!" Saito replied loudly.
Kanae smiled gently, "Okay, then take care and get some rest. I'll be going now!"
"Okay! Thank you for your help, Kanae- sama!"
Kanae breathed a sigh of relief as she left the hospital room.
Although the Demon Slayer Corps now has more members, their quality seems to have become more uneven.
As a result, the number of wounded in the Butterfly Mansion has increased significantly.
Work has become busier than before.
Once downstairs, I habitually headed towards the courtyard.
After turning the corner in the corridor, a familiar figure came into view.
Kanae's lips curled into a smile, as if her earlier fatigue had been completely dispelled.
With his hands behind his back, he sat down next to Teiichi.
My gaze followed Teiichi's.
A dozen or so small pieces of paper spun and danced above Teiichi's palm, lingering there for a long time before falling.
Kanae, "Even though I've watched it several times, I still don't quite understand it!"
Teiichi turned to Kanae and smiled, saying, "You can consider this an advanced application of Wind Breathing!"
"Advanced applications of Breathing Style?" Kanae asked softly. "And what about other Breathing Style?"
"Hmm..." Teiichi moment before replying, "This might only be usable by those who practice Wind Breathing."
Kanae asked, puzzled, "Why?"
The Five Basic Breathing Style Teiichi: Wind, Water, Fire, Rock, and Thunder.
Water is a liquid, rock is a solid.
Can you imagine humans controlling or generating something like this?
Kanae shook her head. "What about lightning and flame?"
"Thunder and fire are plasma."
"Plasma?"
Teiichi, "Just think of them as a special form of energy!"
"Then why can't they be?"
"Perhaps it's possible, but controlling or generating them would consume too much of the body's energy. Instead of expending that energy to control or generate them for attack, it's better to focus our energy on enhancing our main attack points as we are now!"
"Won't controlling and generating wind consume physical strength?" Kanae asked.
Teiichi explained, "Strictly speaking, wind is not a substance or element, but a phenomenon."
"Phenomenon?"
Teiichi, then gently waved his hand between the two of them, a light breeze brushing against their clothes.
"Did you feel it?"
Kanae nodded slightly.
"Wind is essentially the movement of air."
As long as air can move, there will be wind, and air has always existed in this world.
Therefore, I don't need to generate wind; I only need to disturb and guide it!
Kanae nodded after hearing this, then pondered for a moment and asked:
"Could Mr. Uzui's Sound Breathing also work?"
" Sound Breathing?"
Teiichi repeated the sentence, then lowered his head to think for a moment before replying.
"Theoretically, it's possible, and creating sound is relatively simple, but... the controllability of sound waves is too low!"
Kanae said, "So, in the Breathing Style, isn't there only one Wind Breathing that can be used to practice the advanced applications you mentioned?"
Teiichi chuckled twice.
"Calling it an advanced application is just my own way of putting it."
In reality, developing this ability isn't very useful to me right now; at most, it only allows me to control the direction of the Wind Blade I slash out with!
Maybe it won't be of much use in the end!
Kanae bent slightly, her hands resting flat on her knees, looking up at the azure sky, sunlight streaming onto her gentle, pretty face.
"Everything grows from small beginnings, whether it's knowledge, life, or anything else."
I believe you can definitely make it this way too!
after all..."
Kanae turned to look at Teiichi, a smile playing on her lips.
"You're my man!"
Teiichi stared blankly at Kanae, his pupils dilating uncontrollably.
Oops!
Kanae!!
Do you know that you're committing a crime?
Kanae giggled twice upon hearing this, turned her head, propped her chin on her hand, and asked:
"So... what are the punishments for committing crimes?"
Kanao's words made Teiichi's heart flutter.
He raised a hand and wrapped it around Kanae's waist, preparing to let her experience the punishment that comes with committing a crime.
"Cough!"
Before any further action could be taken, a coughing sound came from the side.
Teiichi quickly lowered his hand, and the two silently turned their heads, sat up straight, and pretended that nothing had happened.
Shinobu Kocho silently sat down next to Kanae and handed her the Nichirin Blade over Kanae's shoulder.
"Here you go, the Nichirin Blade you requested!"
Teiichi reached out and took the Nichirin Blade.
"Okay! Thank you!"
These days, because of the Butterfly Mansion, there's no need for combat, and sparring is done with wooden swords, so I haven't thought much about the Nichirin Blade.
It wasn't until yesterday, after dinner, that I mentioned to Shinobu Kocho and Kanae that I wanted a Nichirin Blade.
After all, the Butterfly Mansion is now arguably the place with the most Nichirin Blade outside of the Swordsmith Village.
Because the Butterfly Mansion needed to treat the wounded, many Nichirin Blade would be brought along with them.
However, the Nichirin Blade suffers a relatively high wear and tear rate in the hands of Demon Slayer Corps members.
Therefore, the team members did not have much emotional attachment to the Nichirin Blade in their hands.
Some of the wounded eventually succumbed to their injuries and died; their bodies were buried in the Demon Slayer Corps ' cemetery. The Nichirin Blade, however, were left unattended and ended up at the Butterfly Mansion.
Teiichi his hand and gripped the hilt of the knife.
Snap!
The blade slowly emerged from its sheath, revealing a similarly cyan edge.
However, unlike the previous Nichirin Blade, this blade was not dyed by Teiichi.
Kanae silently turned her head to look at Teiichi, who was examining the new sword.
"Your Nichirin Blade was quite heavy, wasn't it?"
Would you be comfortable with a regular Nichirin Blade like this now?
"How about I contact the Oyakata-sama and ask him to have the swordsmiths in the Swordsmith Village forge another Nichirin Blade for you?"
Teiichi gently shook his head. "No need. This is just another new step in my cultivation."
"I just got a new Nichirin Blade, wanna spar?" Shinobu Kocho asked, leaning forward towards Teiichi.
Teiichi turned his gaze to Kanae, gesturing for them to join him.
Kanae looked at the two people beside her, and a smile couldn't help but appear on her lips.
I turned my head and looked up at the azure sky.
Mom and Dad, I'm very happy now...
