"It's okay, it doesn't hurt much." Muichiro's obedient manner made Yayoi, who was still babbling on and on, seem even more detestable.

Shinobu's bulging veins on her forehead hadn't subsided as she warned Yayoi with her back turned:

"Be quiet for a while."

"No! I will defend my reputation to the death!"

Do you have this?

Shinobu Kocho was treating Muichiro's numerous wounds while also dealing with Yayoi, who was hopping mad with anger behind her. She felt utterly exhausted.

I really want to develop the world's best drug to make Yayoi mute as soon as possible.

Covered in bandages from head to toe, Muichiro, now a living mummy, lay obediently on the hospital bed, turning his head to look at Ichiro on the other bed.

Ichiro only had one wound, which was treated earlier by Shinobu Kocho.

However, this one wound was far more serious than all of Muichiro's injuries combined.

"Will my brother's arm never grow back?"

With only his brother and the familiar "God" in the ward, Muichiro relaxed a little and took the initiative to ask Yayoi a question.

Sitting on a chair to the side, Yayoi, who had only quieted down after Shinobu had stuffed a small basket of peaches into her mouth, quickened her chewing upon hearing this. After swallowing what was in her mouth, she said to Muichiro:

"Hmm... Once he wakes up, let him drink more water and get more sunshine?"

"Then your arm will grow back?" Muichiro looked at Yayoi with great surprise.

"No, your brother isn't a tree that can grow back after a branch is cut off." Yayoi threw the cleaned peach pit into the trash can, shattering Muichiro's hopes.

"Oh..." Muichiro was almost broken, his lips trembling, looking like he was about to cry. "Brother will be very sad when he wakes up."

Yayoi glanced at Muichiro and picked out a smaller peach from the basket, stuffing it into Muichiro's hand.

"You should be grateful that he woke up and survived."

"Sneak a bite, but don't tell Shinobu."

Muichiro glanced at the door of the ward, and only after confirming that no one was there did he put the peach to his mouth and take a bite. "Is that the older sister who's like a butterfly?"

"Ugh, she's fierce." Yayoi secretly whispered something in Shinobu's ear.

"No, right?" Muichiro tilted his head, recalling his butterfly-like older sister. "I thought she was a good person."

"Boom."

Yayoi flicked Muichiro on the forehead, "How dare you! You dare to question the divine prophecy!"

Muichiro winced in pain and tried to raise his hand to cover his head, but one hand was stuffed with a half-eaten peach, and the other hand was wrapped up like a dumpling by Shinobu Kocho.

"You've offended the wrong person..."

"Alright, bringing you two back means I've completed my mission."

Yayoi placed the remaining half-basket of peaches on the table between Ichiro and Muichiro's beds, then got up to say goodbye.

"As for the rest of your arrangements, just leave it to the lord."

"Study what you're supposed to study, eat what you're supposed to eat, and drink what you're supposed to drink."

"The food here at Butterfly House is pretty good, we can't let you go hungry."

"Are you leaving?" In a panic, Muichiro put the peach back into the basket and grabbed Yayoi's hand.

"What's wrong? You're going to miss me?"

Yayoi looked down at the kid who was clearly more dependent on her, feeling both amused and exasperated.

This guy probably doesn't know that if that ghost hadn't come knocking earlier, the one who would have become his and his brother's nightmare would have been himself, whom he regarded as a god.

"No, it's just..." Muichiro glanced at Ichiro, who was still unconscious, and then looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings. The unease in his eyes said it all.

"Afraid?" Yayoi asked.

"Hmm..." Muichiro lowered his head in shame.

If it were Amane, Kanae, or even Kōchin or Gyōmei standing in front of Muichirō, they would all try to comfort this very young child.

But Muichiro unfortunately ends up with Yayoi Kuwashima, the Demon Slayer Corps' undisputed Demon Maru.

"Coward." Yayoi scoffed.

"What kind of man are you?"

"What? You still expect your brother to shield you for the rest of your life and protect you forever?"

"Please let him go, child. He only has one hand. If he blocks another one for you, he won't be able to eat, okay?"

With each additional word Yayoi spoke, Muichiro's face paled a little more.

Regardless of Muichiro's reaction, Yayoi didn't linger at the Butterfly Mansion, leaving after saying her piece.

If you can figure it out, then figure it out; if you can't, then be a timid little brat protected by your older brother for the rest of your life.

Anyway, I originally brought these two kids back just to have some fun, so I'm fine with whatever.

Unlike Yayoi's nonchalant, laissez-faire attitude, Muichiro, sitting on his hospital bed, was seriously considering his future after Yayoi left without looking back.

The deity is right; I can't hide behind my brother forever.

My brother lost an arm protecting me.

From now on, I should work harder to become a powerful swordsman, like the god, and become a powerful being who can protect my brother.

Muichiro's gaze grew even more determined as he picked up half a peach from the basket beside him and continued to gnaw on it.

We need to fill our stomachs first and recover as soon as possible so that we can start learning swordsmanship sooner!

She had just finished eating a peach and hadn't had time to "dispose of the evidence" of the pit when Kanzaki Aoi, who was carrying food, bumped right into her.

Kanzaki Aoi glanced at Muichiro, who was staring blankly at her, and the "evidence of the crime" in his hand. Without saying anything, she placed the tray of food on the table next to Muichiro's hospital bed.

With a cold expression, he took the remaining half-basket of peaches from the table and took it out.

A few minutes later, Shinobu Kocho stormed into the ward, but after looking around, she couldn't find Yayoi.

"Where is Yayoi Kuwashima?"

"She's gone." Muichiro didn't know why Shinobu Kocho looked so angry, so he answered honestly.

"That bastard, I knew she would corrupt you!"

"Didn't I tell you that you can't eat random things before you stop taking the medication?" Shinobu Kocho rebuked Muichiro sternly.

Muichiro thought carefully for a moment, and it seemed that he had indeed heard similar instructions before. He nodded: "Yes."

"Then why do you keep stuffing things into your mouth?"

“It was given by the gods, and it wasn’t given casually.”

If Muichiro hadn't shown no sign of joking, Shinobu would have thought he was deliberately trying to annoy her.

This child was really fooled by Yayoi.

She's pitiful too.

Chapter 110 I only have one younger brother, why should I hand him over to you to risk your lives?

The rich fragrance of flowers, butterflies dancing in the sunlight.

Am I in heaven?

Ichiro thought to himself as he woke up.

"Brother, you're awake."

After spending two days by his brother's bedside, Muichiro was the first to notice Yuichiro's slightly twitching fingers.

Turning his head, he saw Muichiro leaning against the window, looking excited. Yuichiro closed his eyes, unwilling to see what was happening before him.

That idiot Muichiro, wasn't he told to escape? Why didn't he escape? Why did he die so young too?

Just like the stubborn Komu who firmly believes that Yayoi is a god, the stubborn Yu also firmly believes that he absolutely cannot survive such a severe injury.

"Brother, why aren't you looking at me?"

"Brother, are you feeling unwell?"

"Brother, wait for me, I'll go call Sister Xiaoren."

Muichiro, who was using the term "brother" almost like a comma and still hadn't received a response, hurriedly went to call Shinobu Kocho over.

Following Muichiro back was Kanae, who had just been able to get out of bed and move around.

"Shinobu has gone on a mission. Let me check your brother's wound for her."

Muichiro had assumed that Shinobu had grown into a grown-up overnight after not seeing her for just one night, but Kanae's words corrected his mistaken idea.

She looks just like Shinobu, is she her older sister?

"Butterfly Sister..." Not knowing Kanae's name, Muichiro tried to call her by Shinobu Kocho's surname.

"What's wrong, Muichiro?"

As Kanae was untying the bandages from Ichiro's severed limb to check the healing progress, she stopped what she was doing, looked at Ichiro, and asked with a smile.

"It's nothing," Muichiro shook his head. "How is your brother's wound healing?"

Kanae removed all the bandages and carefully examined the wound. "Not bad, it's healing very quickly."

"After two more dressing changes, I should be able to stop wearing bandages."

Skillfully, he changed the dressing on Ichiro's left arm and re-bandaged it with a clean bandage.

The medicine was very effective, but it hurt a bit. Kanae didn't expect that this young child could watch her change the dressing on his wound without saying a word.

He didn't seem to feel much sadness about losing his left hand.

It wasn't that there was no sadness, but Ichiro hadn't yet realized that he was still alive, and that Muichiro was alive too.

They are incredibly lucky.

"Ichiro's arm may experience occasional tingling sensations over the next few days; he'll need to work on it," Kanae instructed before leaving the ward.

"Can I give my brother some painkillers? The painkillers that Sister Xiaoren gave me last time were very effective; they made the pain go away quickly."
