Demon Slayer: The Naruto Hashira is a pure villain!

Muichiro called out to Kanae, wanting to ask her for something that could alleviate his brother's pain.

Kanae looked at Muichiro with a guilty look in her eyes, "I'm sorry, Muichiro, painkillers can't relieve your brother's pain."

Kanae pointed to her temple and patiently explained to Muichiro, "It's because the brain can't accept the absence of a part of the limb that it keeps producing phantom limb pain."

"If you really need relief, the only options are hot compresses or massage."

"But Ichiro's wound hasn't fully healed yet, so neither of these methods can be used."

Undeterred, Muichiro pressed on, "Is there anything else...?"

"Enough, Muichiro," Yuichiro interrupted Muichiro. "She already said, there's nothing she can do, nothing she can do. Don't you understand?!"

The first thing he said after waking up was filled with a strong sense of hostility.

Kanae felt uneasy upon hearing this.

The older of the Tokito brothers seems to be the more opinionated one, and he is particularly averse to receiving help from others.

Furthermore, Muichiro seems to listen to Ichiro's words very much.

Will Yayoi's recruitment mission be affected in any way?

"elder brother……"

Startled by Ichiro's rebuke, Muichiro looked bewildered, unsure of what he had done wrong.

"This is the Demon Slayer Corps, right?" Ichiro asked Kanae.

"This is the Butterfly Mansion, and it does indeed belong to the Demon Slayer Corps..."

Before Kanae could finish speaking, Ichiro threw off the covers, stood barefoot on the ground, grabbed Muichiro's hand with his good right hand, and started to walk out.

"Go, come home with me."

"elder brother!"

Muichiro didn't understand why his brother was reacting so strongly, but he didn't dare to use force against his brother and was dragged away unsteadily.

"Wait a minute, Ichiro." Kanae quickly stopped Muichiro, who was about to leave the Butterfly Mansion. "As a doctor, I cannot allow you to leave here before your injuries have fully healed."

"I will find a way to pay you back for the medical expenses."

Yuichiro, unwilling to owe favors to others, said with his back to Kanae.

"It has nothing to do with medical expenses; it's just that I promised someone that you would receive treatment here."

"Who? Who is it that keeps bothering us brothers, Lady Amane?" Ichiro turned around, looked at Kanae, his eyes narrowed, and his brows were full of impatience.

I can't believe that woman still hasn't given up on tricking Muichiro into becoming some kind of swordsman. She's like a persistent ghost!

Kanae didn't take Ichiro's rudeness to heart, shook her head, and corrected him, "No, it was Yayoi who asked me to."

"Yayoi?"

Yuchiro searched through his memories but couldn't find this person who sounded so unfamiliar.

Muichiro leaned close to Ichiro's ear and whispered, "It's God, brother."

After hearing this, Ichiro gave Muichiro a complicated look.

My younger brother, who wasn't very bright to begin with, must have injured his head to start talking nonsense?

"In short, you won't be able to leave the Butterfly Mansion until these two dressing changes are completed and the wound on your arm has healed."

Kanae smiled and looked at Ichiro, who already had one foot out of the ward, and warned, "If you insist on leaving, Ichiro, then I'll have to have someone tie you to the bed."

Although Kanae's face showed a feigned troubled expression, Ichiro knew that she wasn't joking.

Under Kanae's rare, threatening suggestion, the two brothers failed to leave the Butterfly Mansion.

After Kanae left the ward, and after listening to Muichiro recount what happened after he fainted, Muichiro slapped his head in exasperation.

Oh no, someone tricked my brother into becoming crippled while I was away.

"You agreed to let her join the Demon Slayer Corps?"

"Yes." Muichiro painfully admitted his feat.

"It's okay, you can just change your mind."

Fortunately, my coma was short-lived, and things didn't get to the worst possible outcome.

Ichiro thought with a sense of relief.

"But...didn't Dad say that people should keep their promises and never do anything that goes against their word?"

"Did he keep his promise to bring back the medicine that could cure Mom and return safely?!" Ichiro's anger and resentment made him lose control of his voice for a moment.

"He's already dead! Why would you, an idiot, listen to his useless words!"

No matter how much Yuichiro cursed him, Muichiro remained silent.

Having heard his brother's dying prayer to the gods, Muichiro never doubted his brother's love.

The older brother tried every means to stop him from joining the Demon Slayer Corps, probably because he was worried that something might happen to him, since demons are such terrifying creatures.

The one-sided argument only ended when Yuichiro said he was tired, pulled the blanket over his head and lay down, no longer looking at the stubborn Muichiro.

"Brother, are you tired?" Muichiro poked Yuichiro's back, but Yuichiro ignored him.

"Then you should rest first, brother."

Hearing the clattering footsteps of Muichiro receding into the distance, Ichiro, who had hidden himself under the covers, let out a long sigh.

He covered his empty left arm with his right hand.

There was indeed a throbbing pain there.

The place was completely empty, yet it constantly sent pain to his brain, causing Ichiro to break out in a cold sweat.

After joining the Demon Slayer Corps, is this the kind of monster Muichiro will face?

There is a constant risk of losing limbs or even one's life.

How could she possibly let her only brother do something so dangerous?

"Gods? How ridiculous."

"He's just a human trafficker who uses sweet talk to deceive Muichiro."

Chapter 111 Awesome people have one hand, and she's awesome too.

The "human trafficker" Yayoi was summoned to the Butterfly House by Kanae's Kasugai crow that afternoon.

"What's wrong? Why did you call me over in such a hurry?"

Before she even stepped into the courtyard, the sound reached Kanae's ears.

Muichiro, who was standing beside Ichiro, also heard the sound of Miki's voice.

"Brother, it's the God who has arrived."

Ichiro tapped Muichiro on the head. "You're so stupid! Didn't I tell you there are no gods?"

"But the God really did save my brother..." Muichiro retorted, his eyes brimming with tears, clutching his aching head.

"..."

Yuichiro had nothing to say.

Tsk, I owe that human trafficker my life, how am I ever going to repay that favor?

Before Ichiro could even furrow his brow and figure things out, Yayoi, having heard Kanae recount the events, appeared before him with a smile.

"God, my Lord." Muichiro greeted Yayoi proactively, looking quite excited.

Yayoi was quite pleased with the adoration from this little die-hard fan. She tightened her lips and put on a mysterious look, then raised her hand and pressed it down, "Eh~ Keep it low-key."

"Tch." Ichiro increasingly felt that Yayoi was a charlatan who kidnapped children.

Hmm? Is this kid defiant?

Yayoi turned her attention to Ichiro. "Kanae told me you're leaving?"

"Correct."

"Then let's go." Yayoi showed no intention of stopping her, pointing to the doorway. "The main gate is over there. I don't need to see you off, do I?"

Ichiro was somewhat taken aback. Did he agree so easily?

Shouldn't I be like that Lady Tianyin, repeatedly advising myself?

Even if they pretend to be aloof, a child is still a child, and their emotions are easily written on their face.

"You're not still hoping I'll keep you here, are you?" Yayoi shook her head, clicked her tongue, and said it all in one smooth motion.

His gaze fell directly on Ichiro's severed arm, and he made no attempt to hide the disdain in his eyes. "The Demon Slayer Corps isn't some kind of charity organization. Why would they support a cripple for nothing?"

"You!" After being ridiculed like this, Ichiro almost lost his composure and started arguing with Yayoi.

"Fine! Say what you want, I didn't shamelessly ask the Demon Slayer Corps to take me in!"

"Muichiro, let's go home!"

"Hey, you can go back now, but don't try to take Muichiro with you." Yayoi raised her hand to brace herself against the door frame, looking at Yuichiro with a teasing expression as he tried to leave, holding Muichiro's hand.

"What do you mean?"

“It’s nothing,” Yayoi picked at her ear and blew on her little finger, “It’s just that some child made a deal with God one night.”

“God saved his brother, and he can grant God one request.”

Without naming names, but still using surnames, after hearing this, Ichiro turned to look at Muichiro, who was standing silently behind him.

Are you coming back with me or not?

"I..." Muichiro's silence perfectly illustrated his stance.

"Alright, stop bullying him."

Yayoi plopped down on the hospital bed where Yuichiro had been sitting. "Muichiro, go out and play by yourself for a while. I'm going to chat with your brother."

Knowing he couldn't persuade his brother, Muichiro could only place his hopes on the gods.

Muichiro pulled his hand away from Ichiro's and gave a low reply: "Okay."
