Recalling the original novel's "You Guo" chapter, even the numerical monster Yu Sui Tian Yuan fought extremely badly against Sixth Brother, and only won in the end thanks to the bugged skill "Pattern".
Moreover, Sixth Brother's poison is also a big problem.
"It seems the establishment of the Butterfly Mansion needs to be accelerated."
Ryosuke silently agreed, and as he looked up, the first rays of dawn broke, and the outline of Mount Narrow Mist was already in sight.
Chapter 53 is as difficult as making Yoriichi Tsugikuni fall in love with Muzan in drag!
Upon entering the Narrow Mist Mountain, Ryosuke went straight to Urokodaki Sakonji's cabin without alerting anyone.
He had just stopped in front of the door when he heard a sound coming from inside.
"Come in, Ryosuke."
Pushing open the door, I saw Urokodaki kneeling beside a low table, organizing some herbal illustrations.
The Tengu mask lay aside, revealing his weathered yet serene face.
Ryosuke's eyes widened like saucers!
Because in the anime, the Bull Warrior... oh wait, no, Urokodaki Sakonji never takes off his tengu mask!
So that's what it looks like!
Ryosuke snapped out of his daze and bowed respectfully.
"Mr. Urokodaki".
"Are the wounds on your body new?"
Urokodaki glanced at the bruises on his face and frowned.
Ryosuke awkwardly touched his nose: "Uh... just a little accident, it's nothing."
He paused for a moment, then got straight to the point.
He conveyed the meaning of establishing a medical institution and Yaozai's intention.
"This move is necessary and will reduce many unnecessary sacrifices."
Urokodaki listened quietly and nodded slightly: "You came here this time to persuade the Butterfly Sisters to take the lead in this matter?"
Ryosuke nodded: "They are the best candidates because they are experts in pharmacology."
Linlong pondered deeply.
During this time, he also gained a fairly good understanding of the two sisters' personalities.
The older sister, Kanae, is calm, gentle, and thoughtful.
Although my younger sister, Ren, is young and a bit impatient, she is extremely serious and focused in everything she does.
Both of them have a solid foundation in identifying and preparing medicinal herbs.
At present, there are very few professional healers like them in the entire Demon Slayer Corps, including the Inner Ones.
Definitely a top-tier talent.
It would be most appropriate for them to take the lead in this matter.
"Come with me."
Urokodaki got up and led Ryosuke out of the house.
The mornings in Narrow Mist Mountain are dreamlike, with crisp, cool air carrying the dampness of grass and trees.
Ryosuke looked in the direction Urokodaki was pointing.
Two slender figures weaved through a maze of obstacles and traps.
Kanae's movements were noticeably smoother, and her breathing technique was already showing signs of immaturity, like a butterfly flitting among flowers.
Shinobu Kocho, on the other hand, seemed to be struggling a lot.
Her small stature and inherent lack of strength were amplified under the high-intensity physical training.
Half a month is not enough time for them to be completely transformed, but the difference is already obvious.
After a training session, the two sisters saw Urokodaki and Ryosuke behind him and immediately stood up straight and bowed.
"Mr. Urokodaki! Mr. Ryosuke!"
Kanae smiled gently when she saw Ryosuke.
“Mr. Ryosuke, it’s so good to hear that you’re safe and sound! We were very worried when we heard that you had slain the Lower Moon Demon.”
Ryosuke waved his hand casually, "Just lucky, I picked up a bargain."
"Only you, sister, should be worried."
Shinobu Kocho pursed her lips and muttered softly to herself, "Everyone else is incredibly happy."
Kanae blushed slightly and gave her a coquettish look.
Ryosuke didn't care about that and went straight to the point, recounting in detail his idea for the "Butterfly House" and Kagaya's expectations.
"That's roughly the situation. It's not mandatory; it's entirely up to you to choose."
Ryosuke continued, "If you agree, the Ubuyashiki family will provide all the necessary resources, which will save the lives of many team members and is of great significance."
Kanae and Shinobu exchanged a glance.
Kanae spoke gently, "Mr. Ryosuke, thank you for your trust. It is our duty to treat the injured, and we are willing to take on this responsibility."
"That would be perfect, but regarding training, you..."
The meaning of 鳞泷 is very clear.
If a butterfly house were built, it would inevitably divert much of their energy.
Training will definitely be delayed, or they will have to focus on medicine, healing and saving lives, doing what they are good at.
After all, Kanae has good talent and can manage, but Shinobu's body is indeed a major weakness.
She lacks Obanai's unpredictable swordsmanship and is also weak; even with training, she would likely be unable to decapitate the demon.
Giving up some things at the right time is the wisest choice and allows you to make the most of your strengths.
Shinobu Kocho also understood this meaning.
She clenched her fists and shook her head firmly: "My sister and I made a promise, we'll kill even more ghosts!"
"We will become swordsmen, and we will never give up our training!"
There was neither opposition nor agreement.
After all, some paths they need to walk themselves to understand, or even if they understand, they must stubbornly continue on them.
"Okay, I understand."
Ryosuke affirmed them: "However, this means you'll have to work several times harder than the others."
"We are not afraid of hard work, and we thank Mr. Ryosuke for securing this opportunity for us."
Kanae made the final decision.
Ryosuke nodded, then said, "Since you are in charge, let's name this place after your surname, and call it Butterfly House?"
Kanae nodded slightly: "That's good. Please explain to the Lord Ryosuke."
With the matter settled, Urokodaki Sakonji said no more and turned to leave.
Ryosuke looked at Kanae and noticed that she seemed to want to say something but hesitated.
"What's wrong? Do you have any other thoughts?" Ryosuke asked proactively.
Kanae hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "Mr. Ryosuke... I've actually been wondering if it's possible for us to redeem the demons?"
Ryosuke was slightly taken aback.
Shinobu Kocho immediately frowned: "Sister! You're here again! How can demons be redeemed! They feed on humans and are our mortal enemies!"
Kanae shook her head gently, her eyes somewhat distant: "But demons were once human too."
"They fell into becoming ghosts, most of them with tragic pasts. Devouring human flesh may be instinctive, but is there really no room for redemption?"
"Perhaps there is some way to make them stop eating humans and turn back into humans, or perhaps we can find a way for humans and ghosts to coexist."
Ryosuke understood what she meant.
This is Kanae, extremely gentle, even to the point of being somewhat idealistic.
She sympathized with the ghosts' plight, believing that although they were hateful and deserved to die, she also felt sorry for them.
Kanae is eager to solve the problem at its root.
Shinobu Kocho clearly could not agree with this.
"Coexistence? Sister, your idea is too naive! Ghosts are ghosts, they will never be satisfied, they will only bring killing and fear!"
Ryosuke pursed his lips.
Kanae's ideas were grand, but reality was harsh.
Let's not even mention that the vast majority of ghosts have long been lost in power and appetite.
Just based on Muzan's pathetic appearance, would he really agree to peaceful coexistence with humans?!
This is no less difficult than getting Yoriichi Tsugikuni to fall in love with Muzan in drag!
The score on the Liliyuan!
However, developing a drug that can turn demons back into humans... that goal is more realistic.
From this perspective, Kanae might have a lot in common with a certain beautiful married woman.
"The possibility of peaceful coexistence seems extremely slim at present."
Ryosuke stated objectively, "With Muzan's existence, this is destined to be a war to the death, but..."
He then changed the subject, affirming Kanae's ideas.
"Developing a drug that can turn ghosts back into humans is not a pipe dream."
