As early as when Ryuji was treating Sanemi Shinazugawa, the system had already notified him that the mission to chase Doma had failed. Shinobu Kocho's favorability towards him had also decreased by 20 points. So, Ryuji wanted to know how Shinobu Kocho's attitude towards him would be after she woke up.
Shinobu Kocho didn't reply to Ryuji, but looked at Ryuji with resentment.
Seeing Shinobu Kocho's reaction, Ryuji immediately comforted her, "Don't be angry, okay? I will definitely not give Upper Moon Two a chance to escape next time!"
Faced with Ryuji's guarantee, Shinobu Kocho wasn't very appreciative. Next time, who knew when the next time would be?
However, Shinobu Kocho couldn't really blame Ryuji, because Ryuji had to let Doma go in order to save Sanemi Shinazugawa. This was a helpless move.
"You couldn't get away, so why did you knock me unconscious and not let me chase?! It's almost dawn. As long as I delay a little longer, I can use the sunlight to kill that guy!" Shinobu Kocho could only argue with Ryuji about the fact that Ryuji had knocked her unconscious and didn't let her chase Doma.
If Ryuji had let her chase alone at that time, even if she really couldn't keep Doma, Shinobu Kocho wouldn't have bothered to blame Ryuji.
"Even Shinazugawa isn't a match for Upper Moon Two. I'm not at ease letting you chase alone, and you're still injured." Ryuji also immediately explained.
Hearing this, Shinobu Kocho became even more angry. Ryuji's words made Shinobu Kocho think that Ryuji was saying that she was incompetent. No matter what, she was still a Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps.
"Ryuji, you arrogant guy! Are you looking down on me? Do you think that Pillars are insignificant in front of you?!" Shinobu Kocho glared at Ryuji with her small face and said very unhappily.
It was a good thing that Sanemi Shinazugawa had fallen into a deep sleep. Otherwise, the argument between Ryuji and Shinobu Kocho would have been heard by him.
Seeing that Shinobu Kocho had misunderstood and was starting to act like a little girl, Ryuji could only soften up to Shinobu Kocho, because Ryuji didn't want to worsen his relationship with Shinobu Kocho.
Ryuji also knew that the reason why Shinobu Kocho was angry was because he was her man, the man she could vent her emotions to and reveal her heart to.
What he had to do now was to comfort Shinobu Kocho and let her vent her unhappiness. So, even if Shinobu Kocho was being unreasonable to him, Ryuji had to let Shinobu Kocho be and couldn't be too tough or too cold in his attitude towards Shinobu Kocho.
If Ryuji and Shinobu Kocho's relationship was just a simple relationship between teammates, then he believed that even if Ryuji stopped Shinobu Kocho from chasing Doma, Shinobu Kocho wouldn't have gotten angry with him.
"Shinobu, how could I! You're injured, and I'm not at ease. I don't want you to have an accident. I don't want to lose you! If you weren't injured, I would definitely let you go!" Ryuji immediately said some mushy words to Shinobu Kocho. Of course, the second half of the sentence was just for Shinobu Kocho to hear. When it really came to the choice, even if Shinobu Kocho wasn't injured, Ryuji still wouldn't let Shinobu Kocho go alone to deal with Doma.
Because Ryuji knew in his heart that Shinobu Kocho was the bottom of the barrel in terms of combat power among all the Pillars.
Moreover, from Sanemi Shinazugawa's current appearance, he knew how strong Doma's strength was.
Although Shinobu Kocho's combat power was at the bottom, it didn't mean that Shinobu Kocho wasn't powerful.
Because Shinobu Kocho relied on poisoning demons, Shinobu Kocho didn't have any too powerful moves. This was mainly due to insufficient physical strength. Therefore, her combat power was inferior to the Pillars. But this didn't mean that Shinobu Kocho was weak.
