After Shinobu Kocho left, Teiichi Kanae remained in the room.
Teiichi's gaze fell on Kanae, and just as he was about to say something more, Kanae spoke first.
"Go sit on the bed!"
"Hmm?" Teiichi was a little puzzled upon hearing this, but still walked to the bedside as instructed and sat down gently.
Kanae quickly moved a stool over and placed it beside the bed, her movements practiced and natural.
Then, he picked up a delicate porcelain bowl from the bedside table. Steam rose from the bowl, carrying a rich aroma of rice.
Kanae gently stirred the bowl with a spoon, the porcelain making a soft, pleasant sound as it rubbed against the other side.
Kanae said in her soft voice as she stirred:
"You've just woken up, and your body has been hungry for several days. You can't eat too much at once, so I asked Kui to prepare this bowl of light porridge. Eat this first and let your body gradually adjust to eating more food. I'll prepare something more nutritious for you later."
"Okay, you can arrange it!"
Teiichi slightly; he understood this principle.
How is the Butterfly Mansion doing now?
A warm smile bloomed on Kanae's face.
"Compared to the first few years after I met you, I'm much more relaxed now."
Back then, I was in charge of everything in that huge Butterfly Mansion.
Now, Ren is capable of handling medical skills and treatments on his own.
Aoi can now take full responsibility for the logistics management of the Butterfly Mansion.
Then Kiyoshi, Sumi, Naho have all grown up a lot and can now help a lot.
Furthermore, there are many hidden support staff members in the Butterfly Mansion.
I just need to give a general overview.
Ding Yi felt somewhat gratified after hearing this.
"By the way, isn't Kanon at the Butterfly Mansion?"
Kanae shook her head, a hint of helplessness on her face:
"No, she just hasn't met Lower Rank yet, and she's only a few demons away from meeting the requirements to become a Pillar, so she's been working hard on her missions lately!"
At this point, Kanae seemed to remember something, raised her hand to cover her mouth and chuckled softly:
"She originally had a chance to meet the Lower Rank when she went to carry out a mission on Mount Natagumo last time!"
Who knew that when Shinobu and Giyu were choosing a path at the Yamashita, they made the wrong choice, and in the end, it was Giyu's path that led them to their destination!
There was nothing she could do but obediently carry out her mission!
Upon hearing this, Teiichi couldn't help but chuckle and asked curiously:
"How many more demons does she need to become a pillar?"
Kanae thought for a moment, "When Kanon came back last time, she said she was still missing 5! If she comes back this time, she should be missing 4!"
"That'll be soon, and if we're lucky, this year..."
Teiichi stopped halfway through his speech.
emmm...
It seems Kanon will never become a Pillar...
However, Kanae was unaware of this and nodded, saying:
"Yes, she should be able to become a Pillar this year! Headquarters will probably give her a special Pillar number then! She might be the first Pillar in our Demon Slayer Corps not named after Breathing Style!"
As she spoke, Kanae scooped up a spoonful of the now-cooled porridge and handed it to Teiichi.
Slightly startled by this sudden action, Teiichi's gaze involuntarily fell on the spoon in Kanae's hand, and on the glistening, tempting porridge in it.
What's wrong with you?
Kanae didn't reply, and stretched the spoon in her hand forward again.
At that moment, Teiichi realized that Kanae was going to feed him porridge.
Teiichi his head back slightly and raised his bandaged hand.
"Maybe I should do it myself. My injury isn't that bad!"
Kanae Teiichi and continued to pass the spoon forward.
"Really, I don't need it. I can eat it myself!" Teiichi continued to refuse.
It's not for any particular reason, but because of my two lifetimes, ever Teiichi can remember, I've always eaten alone.
Teiichi was quite unaccustomed to being suddenly fed.
But Kanae ignored his refusal and continued to push the spoon forward, almost touching Teiichi's lips.
Left with no other choice, Teiichi gently opened my mouth.
A white porcelain spoon, ladleful of warm white porridge, was fed into his mouth.
The porridge was at just the right temperature—neither too hot nor too cold.
The soft, sticky rice grains and broth slid into my stomach, and my body, which had been thirsty for a long time, greedily began to absorb the nutrients in the congee.
The hunger that had been suppressed was completely released with that bite.
Teiichi ate bite after bite, and Kanae fed him spoonful by spoonful.
The bowl of plain porridge was quickly finished.
Although he was still feeling hungry, Teiichi knew it was time to rest.
Kanae stayed for quite a while, finally leaving only after Shinobu Kocho called her away.
Looking at the door that had been closed again, Teiichi leaned gently against the bed, contemplating the path ahead.
After what happened before, Muzan probably won't send the Upper Rank to find him again.
They might even avoid you.
Furthermore, with the Infinity Castle there, if you want to kill Muzan, you still need to let Muzan know that Nezuko has overcome her weakness to sunlight.
Otherwise, Muzan keep hiding, no one could do anything about him.
Hantengu and Gyokko were killed by themselves, and there was no more talk of the Swordsmith Village after that.
Without the Swordsmith Village, Muzan would never have known that Nezuko could overcome sunlight.
Muzan didn't know that Nezuko could withstand sunlight and therefore wouldn't come out.
So how can I convey the message that Nezuko has overcome the sunlight to Muzan?
emm...
Teiichi closed his eyes and pondered.
Sending a message to Muzan would be simple.
Just like the first time I took Muichiro on a mission.
Just deliver the message before the Upper Rank or Lower Rank dies.
So, as long as the scene shows Nezuko standing in the sun, whether it's Upper Rank or Lower Rank...
Lower Rank?
Teiichi's eyes suddenly opened.
Oh no, it seems Muzan wiped out the Lower Rank after Mount Natagumo.
The only remaining Enmu was killed by Tanjiro and his companions on the Mugen Train.
And Upper Rank only the first, second, third, and sixth moons remain.
In other words...
Is the only place where we can definitively encounter Lower Rank the Entertainment District?
Thinking about this Teiichi felt a headache coming on.
An enhanced version of Tengen Uzui and the three enhanced versions of the little ones should be able to Daki without any problems.
Does that mean I have to stop them from killing Daki?
This seems simple too.
After all, he was only delaying the killing, not refusing to kill at all.
only...
At that time, I won't just drag Daki to sunbathe.
Are we still going to drag Nezuko into the sun?
Wouldn't Tanjiro fight him to the death?
After thinking for a long time, still unable to come up with a good solution, Teiichi slow sigh.
Who knows, I might end up having to step on Tanjiro and carry Nezuko in my arms!
