"Doesn't everyone who activates their Breath Styles / Marks die before they turn twenty-five? Why bother worrying about organ damage then?" Sanemi said indifferently upon hearing Kochou Shinobu's words.
Injuries were commonplace for him, so he didn't care about the possibility of organ damage.
"I suspect that the reason for not living past twenty-five after activating Breath Styles / Marks is precisely due to organ damage reaching a certain extent. After Rengoku-sensei's Breath Styles / Marks faded, the constant overexertion of his organs also disappeared, and his body temperature and heart rate quickly lowered," Kochou Shinobu continued.
Chiba Yo felt a glimmer of hope after hearing Kochou Shinobu's words.
Does that mean if Teacher no longer activates his Breath Styles / Marks, he can live past twenty-five?
He turned to look at Kyoujurou, whose indifferent expression made Chiba Yo feel that this might not be possible.
"What's the use of knowing this? Do you mean that if we use Breath Styles / Marks less often, we might not die so early? But you should know that none of us can retreat because of this, right? As long as it's a power that can slay demons, I will accept it wholeheartedly," Sanemi said with a grin after hearing Kochou Shinobu's words.
"You've misunderstood me, Shinazugawa-san. Of course, I know everyone's resolve. What I meant to say is that I believe the organ damage caused by activating Breath Styles / Marks can be treated with appropriate measures," Kochou Shinobu explained.
"It can be treated! Does that mean the negative effects of Breath Styles / Marks can be eliminated?!" Chiba Yo said excitedly. If everything Kochou Shinobu said was true, then even if Kyoujurou continued to use Breath Styles / Marks, he wouldn't die at twenty-five.
"I still need to continue verifying this, and I don't yet know how to treat organ overexertion damage. I just feel that this idea is feasible," Kochou Shinobu replied to Chiba Yo.
"It would be wonderful if this idea could be realized, Shinobu. Please put your heart into this matter. If you need anything, you can ask for it," Kagaya said to her with a smile after listening to Kochou Shinobu's words.
"Thank you for your support, Master. I hope that after everyone activates their Breath Styles / Marks, you will all let me examine you before the Breath Styles / Marks fade," Kochou Shinobu thanked her Master, then requested.
"Amitabha, of course, no problem. But I don't know if I'll survive after activating my Breath Styles / Marks…" Gyoumei said, pressing his palms together.
Kochou Shinobu wanted to say something after hearing Gyoumei's words, but in the end, she didn't speak.
Based on her examination of Kyoujurou, she believed that the permanent organ damage from Breath Styles / Marks was somewhat similar to aging, causing the lifespan of organs to rapidly decrease. However, the body would also take corresponding protective measures, and once organ lifespan was damaged to a certain extent, the body would stop this behavior.
And this limit was twenty-five years old. But if one exceeded twenty-five years old, the body's protective measures might no longer function, and at that time, the organs of the Breath Styles / Marks activator might completely overexert to the point of death…
Kochou Shinobu knew that even if Gyoumei knew all this, he wouldn't back down. There was no point in saying such things.
Moreover, in her opinion, Breath Styles / Marks were not easy to manifest. As long as she could find a way to treat the permanent organ damage caused by Breath Styles / Marks before Gyoumei manifested them, it would be fine.
"The next one to awaken Breath Styles / Marks will definitely be the flamboyant me! When that happens, I will flamboyantly display my flamboyant Breath Styles / Marks to you," Tengen said, striking a flamboyant pose.
"I have no problem," Sanemi also agreed to Kochou Shinobu's request.
The other Pillars also agreed. Although Giyuu didn't speak, he nodded. He didn't dare to say much now.
After Chiba Yo told him at the last Pillar Meeting that he would be disliked by more people if he continued like this, he started trying to interact more with others to deepen relationships.
Although he never thought he could walk alongside other Pillars and integrate with them, he still didn't want to be disliked by others.
Therefore, this time, he said a few more words, thinking he could start building rapport with Sanemi, who seemed to have the worst relationship with him. However, not only did it not achieve the desired effect, but it also angered him.
This situation made Giyuu feel a little frustrated, and he also couldn't understand where he went wrong.
It seems Shinazugawa, like me, doesn't like to communicate with others… If that's the case, then he shouldn't have disliked me before. It's probably fine to just maintain the previous state… It seems Chiba's statement is completely unreliable… And Kochou…
Giyuu thought to himself, glancing at Sanemi.
"Alright, this meeting ends here. Thank you all for your hard work, especially Kyoujurou and Shinobu," Kagaya said to everyone with a gentle smile.
"This is what we should do!" Kyoujurou said loudly upon hearing this.
"Rengoku-sensei is right, this is what we should do," Kochou Shinobu also said with a smile.
The meeting ended, and everyone got up to leave the sickroom. Chiba Yo, who was closest to the door, opened it, revealing a young boy who looked very similar to Kyoujurou. Chiba Yo had seen this boy before.
"I… I'm sorry, I… I just wanted to visit my elder brother," Senjuro said very cautiously.
"It's alright, please come in."
Kagaya, who was inside, spoke before Chiba Yo.
Chiba Yo smiled and stepped aside to let Senjuro in.
"Thank you." The actions of the Master and Chiba Yo made Senjuro less nervous. He thanked them and walked into the sickroom.
"Long time no see, Senjuro. You seem to have grown quite a bit," Mitsuri said happily when she saw Senjuro. She had visited Kyoujurou's house before, so she naturally knew Senjuro.
"Kanroji-nee-san." The presence of Chiba Yo and KanrojiMitsuri, whom he knew, significantly reduced Senjuro's nervousness. He smiled and responded to Mitsuri, then scurried to Kyoujurou's bedside.
"Big Brother, are you alright? Are your injuries serious? How is your recovery now?" Senjuro asked Kyoujurou with concern.
"I'm recovering very well! Don't worry! Did Father send you?" Kyoujurou replied to Senjuro with a smile, a hint of expectation in his heart as he asked the question.
Upon hearing Kyoujurou's question, Senjuro lowered his head.
The other people in the sickroom saw this and quietly exited, leaving space for the two brothers.
At this moment, only Kyoujurou and Senjuro remained in the room.
"I snuck out myself. Father didn't let me visit you…" Senjuro answered truthfully, a little sadly.
"Is that so…" Kyoujurou's expectant expression darkened upon hearing this, but in a flash, he regained his cheerful and optimistic expression…
