On the third day, Lexon came to the Butterfly Mansion again and signed in on Tanjiro once more.
But the result was not what he had hoped for; he had missed out on the Hinokami Kagura again.
On this day, Shinobu Kocho still had not returned.
For a moment, Lexon was a little puzzled as to where she had taken Nezuko.
The basic physical conditions of Tanjiro and Inosuke had more or less recovered, and they began to participate in rehabilitation training to restore their bodies to their peak state.
During the rehabilitation training, the two of them felt pain as the three little girls helped to soothe their bodies. In the tea-snatching game of tag with Shinobu's successor, Kanao Tsugikuri, they failed one after another, suffering a great blow.
When the two of them, dragging their tired bodies as if life had lost all meaning, returned to the sickroom and lay down, they truly frightened Zenitsu.
After all, he also had to participate in the rehabilitation training in a few days. Seeing the two of them like this, it would be strange if he wasn't scared.
Lexon stayed at the Butterfly Mansion for a long time today, mainly because watching Tanjiro and Inosuke suffer was quite amusing, so he didn't leave.
By the way, Lexon also exchanged a few words with Kanao.
However, the kuudere girl just smiled and looked at Lexon for a long time without saying a word or reacting.
Another new day.
Today was the time Shinobu had agreed upon.
Normally, Shinobu should have come to kick down his door while Lexon was still dreaming, but even when Lexon woke up naturally at noon, no one had come to call for him.
'I've been stood up.'
This thought popped into Lexon's head.
So he went to the Butterfly Mansion and asked again whether Shinobu had returned, but the answer he got was still "no."
Before leaving the Butterfly Mansion, Lexon went to see Tanjiro and the others again.
After all, since he had been stood up, his sign-in chance for today was now free.
And so, he chose to sign in on the three little powerhouses.
Different from the previous two days, Lexon did not sign in on Tanjiro today, but on Zenitsu Agatsuma.
And he successfully signed in for Thunder Breathing.
[Sign-in Successful]
[Obtained "Thunder Breathing - Proficient": One of the five basic breaths derived from the original breath, Sun Breathing. Members of the Demon Slayer Corps can obtain powerful combat strength by cultivating breathing techniques, which is an important method for fighting against demons.]
Originally, Lexon had been a little worried that since this guy Zenitsu only knew the First Form of Thunder Breathing, the sign-in might only give him one sword form. But it was clear that he had worried too much and had underestimated the sign-in system.
All the sword forms that Thunder Breathing should have were reflected in Lexon's mind, not a single one missing.
However, what puzzled Lexon a little was that after signing in for Thunder Breathing, there was still no prompt that it could be fused.
Even though Thunder Breathing was also one of the five basic breathing styles.
'Then why could Water Breathing and Flame Breathing be fused?' Lexon didn't quite understand.
'Because they're special? The mixing of water and fire can produce mist?'
Thinking so much wouldn't lead to an answer, so Lexon simply stopped thinking about it.
After leaving the Butterfly Mansion, Lexon walked towards the hall where the Master was at the headquarters.
He asked the Master about Shinobu's whereabouts.
"Shinobu took Nezuko with her on a mission," Kagaya said gently to Lexon.
'Taking Nezuko on a mission, is that even possible...'
'Could it be that my words about "getting along with demons" that day had provoked Shinobu?'
Lexon suddenly realized that this situation might have been caused by him.
"Did something happen between you and Shinobu?" Kagaya asked, sensing something when Lexon didn't respond.
"No," Lexon replied directly.
"Ah... is that so..." Kagaya nodded and didn't press further, instead talking about other things. "Sanemi will be back in a few days. He will probably go to you to spar with the demon you captured alive. I hope you will look after him and try your best not to start a conflict. Sanemi is not a bad kid at heart."
"Of course, Master," Lexon had always been one to humor others if he could.
He agreed, but if a conflict really did arise, Lexon would not let the "not a bad kid at heart" Sanemi off easily.
A few days later, the arrogant and unruly Sanemi Shinazugawa came before Lexon.
"Where's the demon?" he asked directly.
Lexon patted the pot at his waist. "In here."
Then he held out a palm and said to Sanemi Shinazugawa, "The small request I mentioned that day was just to high-five me. No objections, right?"
"You bastard, what's the point of doing that?" Sanemi's face was full of displeasure. He didn't understand the other's meaning. 'Is he playing games with me? Mocking me?'
"Just say whether you agree or not," Lexon didn't bother with so much and asked directly.
"Hmph." Although he was very unhappy, Sanemi Shinazugawa's palm was very honest and slapped against Lexon's palm.
A resounding "slap" echoed.
'He used a lot of force.'
Lexon looked at his slightly reddened palm, a little speechless.
'Does he resent me that much?'
'But it doesn't matter...'
[Sign in]
[Sign-in Successful]
[Obtained "Wind Breathing - Proficient": One of the five basic breaths derived from the original breath, Sun Breathing. Members of the Demon Slayer Corps can obtain powerful combat strength by cultivating breathing techniques, which is an important method for fighting against demons.]
Wind Breathing was also in his hands, but there was still no prompt for fusion.
Lexon no longer cared and led Sanemi into the dense forest.
In the dense forest, Lexon underwent demonization and released Gyokko.
A well-practiced routine.
After all, it wasn't the first or second time, but the third.
Then he threw a large basin of human blood, which had been stored in another pot, to Gyokko, allowing him to recover to a better state than when he had fought Shinobu.
After all, in Lexon's opinion, Sanemi Shinazugawa was stronger than Shinobu Kocho, so it was only right to make Gyokko a little stronger.
Next, he pointed at Sanemi Shinazugawa and said to Gyokko, "Kill him. Kill him and I'll let you go."
Although Gyokko was confused as to why the person had suddenly changed, he still rushed over at the first opportunity.
'If I just kill this person, I can escape the control of this devil!'
'I must kill this person!'
'Slaughter him!!!'
"Blood Demon Art: Pot Prison Hell!"
Gyokko's state at this moment was close to frantic. He had almost lost his mind under Lexon's torture and had even once thought of ending his own life.
He had already decided that if he couldn't kill the demon hunter before him, he would risk his life to escape, even if it meant death!
But suddenly, a voice echoed in his heart.
It was a voice he was incredibly familiar with, and one he had dreamed of hearing day and night... the voice of Lord Muzan.
[Gyokko, stay alive and await my orders. You are not permitted to die without my command.]
