…
inside the house.
Creaking…
Tanjiro gripped Yudake's arm with force. His expression was firm and he looked into his eyes without flinching at all:
"Let him go!"
"This is the ward, and he is the patient!"
He said in a serious tone, and the strength in his hands gradually increased:
"Miss Butterfly's diagnosis is not over yet, you rude guy!"
——After a period of training, and getting guidance from Zhu who comes to Butterfly House from time to time.
——Tanjiro's basic physical fitness has reached the level where he can start practicing breathing techniques.
Several people behind.
Tanjuro stared at his son's back, stood behind him, smiled happily, and did not make a move.
When Zhuo Yue heard this, the fierce look in his eyes became more intense, and his face darkened:
"asshole--"
He jerked his arm, but couldn't move it.
"Yeah!" Tanjiro's expression was serious, and his clenched hands refused to let go.
At this time.
A crutch kept enlarging in Yuyue's field of vision.
Pong!
"pain!"
A crisp crash came from above the head of Zhu Yue.
Ci Wulang looked at Zhuo Yue with hatred, knocked his mahogany crutch on his head, and scolded him angrily:
"Zhahahuhu! How dignified are you!"
Pong!
He knocked hard again, and the pain caused Yue to let go of his hand holding Zenyi's clothes:
"Apologise to others quickly!"
Upon seeing this, Tanjiro also loosened his hand holding Yu Yue's arm, keeping a serious expression and never moving his eyes away.
Yu Yue covered his head in pain. He did not dare to look at his master, but glanced at Tanjiro fiercely, and then clicked his tongue unwillingly.
Seeing this, Ci Wulang raised his eyebrows angrily.
Pong!
"It hurts!"
"Apologize!"
at last.
Gogaku, who had several red bumps on his head, bowed to Tanjiro and Butterfly Shinobi with a straight expression, gritting his teeth slightly:
"…Feel sorry."
Hear the words.
Snapped! Snapped!
Tanjiro, who had a serious expression just now, immediately looked like melted snow, smiled and patted Gotake on the shoulder, nodded, and said cheerfully:
"Well, that's good."
Hearing these words, Hongyue's eyebrows jumped up and down. If it weren't for the dull pain in the top of his head, I'm afraid he would still continue to have hairy hair.
After snorting coldly, Huang Yue shook his sleeves and squeezed away from the crowd.
He left the ward and stood in the corridor.
Ci Wulang stared at Yu Yue's back, withdrew his eyes, and said apologetically to several people:
"Sorry, that kid isn't usually like this."
The butterfly ninja smiled and nodded, looking unconcerned.
…
Some time passed.
In the ward.
"That's good." The butterfly ninja slowly stood up from the stool. Zenitsu on the hospital bed was already tightly wrapped in bandages.
She treated Zenitsu as she would a normal burn.
Although the other party’s diagnosis was really fine.
"Thank you very much." Cigoro closed his eyes and bowed to the butterfly nin seriously.
The Butterfly Ninja quickly took two steps forward, stretched out his hand to support Ji Goro, and replied softly: "I should do it."
soon.
After the Butterfly Ninja left the room.
Ji Wulang sat next to Zenitsu worriedly, looking at Yue Yue in the corridor outside the door from time to time.
tread,
Footsteps came from the door.
"...Brother?" Midouzi stopped at the door. She saw Tanjiro's back and probed into the room in confusion:
"what are you doing here?"
Then, he glanced around and saw Tanjuro sitting aside, smiling and waving towards him, and shouted in surprise:
"Father! You are here too!"
She walked into the room with small steps.
at the same time,
On the hospital bed.
The unconscious Zenitsu was lying on his back, his golden hair spread out by gravity looking like a ball of exploded yellow dandelions.
His ears suddenly twitched twice.
Tanjiro turned around when he heard the sound, pointed at Zenitsu on the hospital bed, and explained gently:
"This child was struck by lightning. Miss Butterfly was diagnosing him just now."
Midouzi stood up curiously, leaned his head towards the hospital bed, looked at Zenitsu, and repeated his brother's words:
"Struck by lightning?"
Seeing Shanyi being wrapped up into a mummy:
"...So pitiful..." she said softly.
When the end of Mi Douzi's sentence fell.
On the hospital bed.
Zenitsu's closed eyelids moved slightly.
In the confused mind.
——Dead? I am already dead?
——It feels like... I heard something just now...
His fingers twitched twice.
——Girl’s voice…
Zenitsu was dazed, trying to open his eyes in the darkness.
——Is she the goddess who came to pick me up...to cross the Santu River...
——The eyelids...are so heavy...
outside world.
Ji Goro keenly caught Zenitsu's twitching fingers, and he looked up at Midouzi in surprise.
The moment Ci Wulang raised his head.
Zenitsu on the hospital bed slowly opened his heavy eyes.
He was staring straight at the ceiling, seemingly in a trance.
"Wake up!" Tanjiro stood beside the bed and shouted in surprise: "Your eyes are open!"
Ji Goro immediately came back to his senses. He looked at Zenitsu and said anxiously: "Zenitsu! Zenitsu?"
"Can you hear?"
My wife, Zenitsu, looked at the ceiling blankly.
…unrecognized ceiling.
Is this... heaven?
Then his eyes slowly moved to the side.
Finally stopped at——
Standing by the bed, blinking.
Mi Douzi looked surprised.
! !
My wife, Zenitsu, was staring at Midouzi in bed, lost in thought.
The eyes that had only opened a crack due to exhaustion suddenly widened at this moment.
Tanjiro looked at Zenitsu's increasingly exaggerated expression. He followed the other person's line of sight and looked at his sister in confusion.
Sitting at the door.
Tanjuro, who was staring at Yu Yue, suddenly noticed something bad.
Just when the atmosphere was strangely stiff.
Uh-huh!
Zenitsu, who was lying down, suddenly sat up from the bed.
Snap.
The bandaged hand skillfully lifted Midouzi's hand beside the bed.
His eyes were calm and his expression was serious, not at all like a man who had just been struck by lightning.
Zenitsu stared at the confused Midouzi.
He pondered for a moment, and then spoke in an affectionate tone:
"please…"
"Please?" Tanjiro tilted his head in confusion.
Suddenly, Zenitsu lowered his head suddenly, took a deep breath, and his voice became louder, as if he was shouting with his life:
"Please marry me——!!"
Wow——!
A loud sound came from Zenitsu's lowered head and hit the nearest Yadouko and Tanjiro who were standing by.
Circles of sound waves spread out from the second floor of Butterfly House.
——It can be heard clearly all the way to the courtyard.
"Gah! Karma!"
In the forest near the Butterfly House, two crows screamed and jumped out of the shaking leaves in fright.
In the courtyard.
"Huh?" Muichiro raised his head in confusion, looked in the direction of the second floor of Butterfly House, then turned to Ichiro and asked:
"Brother, did you hear any strange noises just now?"
…
inside the house.
Bang!
Ji Wulang stood on the other side of the bed. He stood up in shock. The crutch in his hand fell out of focus and fell to the ground.
Tanjuro sat at the door.
His hand that had just grasped the teacup instantly stiffened.
