Shutara Senjumaru released the Kidō that had sealed his memories. Sora remembered some things. The things he had seen in the dream guided by "Yumebaku" had indeed been real. This spiritual body of his was a Reigai she had created from Batsunsai's spiritual particles. The purpose of its creation was to cultivate a Spiritual Core that could sustain her body.
"Reigai boy, you remember your origins now, don't you..." A faint smile appeared on Shutara's lips. "Batsunsai was willing to die for you, so... are you willing to give up your Spiritual Core for her?"
Sora answered without a moment's hesitation, "Please, use my Spiritual Core to save her!"
If she was willing to die for him, how could he stand by and watch her perish! Batsunsai was unconscious and couldn't refuse now.
"It seems Batsunsai did not misjudge you. However..." Kirinji's voice changed. "We regret to say that we refuse to do so."
"Why?!" Sora couldn't understand. Wasn't their original plan to use his core to save her?
"This is Batsunsai's will," Shutara sighed softly. "To her, this is more important than life itself. If we were to do that, we would be defiling her will."
"I am not afraid to die! Using my core to save her is what I wish for as well!" Sora said, his heart burning with anxiety as he watched her Spiritual Pressure weaken.
"Boy, I understand how you feel, but we really can't do it," Kirinji said, patting his shoulder. Seeing the resolve on Sora's face, he continued, "And don't even think about digging out your own core to force us. Even if you did, Senjumaru could just sew it back in."
Sora could only abandon the thought. His own Kaidō was not sufficient to perform such a surgery. He directed his own Spiritual Pressure into Batsunsai's body. It had some effect; the rapid decline temporarily stopped. But her energy was still fading.
As her Spiritual Pressure grew weaker and weaker, a flash of inspiration struck Sora. The Nōreidan! His Spiritual Pressure was of the same origin as hers. The pills he made should also be effective for her! He quickly took one out and fed it to her.
After the pill entered her stomach, it immediately took effect, releasing its stored energy. Sora did not stop his own transfer. With both methods working together, he finally stabilized the decline, and her Spiritual Pressure even recovered slightly. But the number of pills was limited, as was his own energy. This was only delaying her death.
"Eh—boy, what is this medicine?" Kirinji was surprised.
"This is a Nōreidan that I created. It's a pill that can store Spiritual Pressure," Sora answered without thinking.
"Let me see..." Kirinji took the bottle, poured one out, and after smelling and chewing it, identified some of the ingredients. "What a genius combination... it can indeed store Spiritual Pressure..." He looked at Sora in shock. "Did you develop this yourself? You should just come and learn Kaidō from me. There's no future in learning the sword!"
Sora was in no mood to reply.
Kirinji wasn't annoyed. "Tsk, tsk, it seems you don't want to save her after all, do you?"
Sora's heart stirred. "Lord Kirinji, have you found a way?"
Kirinji laughed heartily. "Your 'Nōreidan' gave me an idea! I think I can make a super-large version. That should be able to save her life."
Shutara thought for a moment and said, "It is indeed feasible."
"Boy, hold on for another hour. I'm going to borrow something from Kirio," Kirinji said, patting Sora's shoulder and vanishing with Shunpo.
Sora saw a glimmer of hope, his spirits soaring. He swallowed a Nōreidan himself. He could definitely last for another hour.
SWISH— A sound of Shunpo was heard, but it wasn't Kirinji. It was Unohana. She had received the message from Sora's disciples and had rushed here, tracking their spiritual trails. She glanced at Shutara, then went to confirm Batsunsai's condition.
"Katori-kun, what you're doing cannot stop her death," she sighed.
"Lord Kirinji said he has a way," Sora replied.
"Kirinji..." Unohana was taken aback. "Perhaps..." She decided to stay and see. She began to observe the traces on the ground, squatting down and touching the smooth edge of the bottomless chasm. "It seems I arrived a little late," she sighed softly. She would have loved to see such a clash of swords.
An hour later, Kirinji reappeared. He was holding a "Nōreidan" larger than an egg and a syringe. "Boy, this is a Spiritual Pressure booster I made. It will let you erupt with power for a while, but you'll be bedridden for a few days after. Use it, then fill this super-large 'Nōreidan'."
Sora took the syringe and injected it. His Spiritual Pressure surged, and he poured the boosted energy into the pill. The Nōreidan's color gradually changed, from white to blue, and then to a deep blue.
"Very good!" Kirinji said, tossing the pill to Shutara. "Senjumaru, sew it into Batsunsai's body!"
