aerobic respiration

Tanjiro walked towards you with a straight face.

"San Yi is still a patient," he said, "please don't treat him like this."

You froze for a moment, and quickly let go of your hand.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," you said, and realized that your reaction just now was a little too excited, so you smiled at them embarrassedly: "You are back."

Tanjiro still looked energetic, he greeted you full of energy, and then asked: "Miss Kazushin finished her mission?"

You nodded and asked him to sit down. The pig-headed boy seemed to be very familiar with Tanjiro Zenitsu and the others. Seeing you sitting together, he also squeezed over.

So the three of you sat side by side around Shanyi's bed, the lineup looked like children visiting their sick old father together, and it was like some kind of strange three-way interrogation.

Shanyi shrank his feet uneasily.

I don't know why, even though he is indoors now, the pig-headed boy is still wearing that scary wild boar headgear. He looked at you and said, "I remember you, you are the Axi who was knocked down by the little man who was drinking."

you:"!"

You were taken aback, almost thinking that the pig-headed boy had seen through your reincarnation through the two huge beast eyes on the hood, but the next sentence the other party said was: "What are you doing grabbing Wen Yi?"

"Hey, it's a letter, a letter!" Shanyi corrected him, "At least Ashin saved you, at least remember her name?"

"It's so noisy!" The pig-headed boy immediately replied, his tone was as rude as you remember: "Didn't I immediately chop off the little man's hand and interrupt her vampire technique? She stabbed me with a stab." ,draw!"

"Where is it?" Shanyi's eyes widened, "The point is to save people, not how many times who cut Shuten-douji down?"

"Aren't they all the same!"

"totally different!"

The two started arguing like elementary school students, Tanjiro didn't know why the topic suddenly changed to another place, and calmed them down blankly.

It turned out to be the wrong name, you thought, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Because you didn’t talk to the pig-headed boy when you came to the ward last time, so you got to know each other first this time. You vaguely remember that this guy is a irascible old man who robs monsters and is justified. At first, you were a little worried about whether the other party would be difficult to get along with , To your surprise, this young man named Inosuke has a straightforward personality, and communication is not troublesome.

I just can't understand his brain circuit.

Nonsense is the first step in interpersonal communication. When a normal person meets a stranger—especially a stranger who has saved his life, he will have a good attitude and reserve before speaking, but Inosuke does not. He does not intend to mention the things on Dajiangshan , opened the mouth and said: "Last time you passed out, we didn't decide the winner, let's compete with me later!"

You: "...Huh?"

Tanjiro was also stunned, he turned his head to look at Inosuke in astonishment, the latter raised his thumb, pointed at himself and said loudly: "Next time, I will cut off the demon's head faster than you!"

You: "...huh?"

"Inosuke!" Tanjiro panicked, "You are too rude to Ms. Kazushin!"

He hastily apologized to you on behalf of the young man beside him, Shanyi held his forehead weakly, and said to you who was stunned: "It's okay, just ignore him, he just has this personality, he has to compare everything with others."

Inosuke seemed completely unaware of their words, and said to himself: "Because I am well-deserved number one!"

you:"……"

Okay, you think you almost know who this character is.

"Okay." You said, without thinking too much, and agreed to Inosuke's invitation to fight. Anyway, you are not weak, and you often competed with your teammates during the Warring States Period, "Then let's fight another day."

Then you hear the system notification beep.

"The bond with my companions has deepened!"

"Bond level increased!"

"Bond level: Lv.2→Lv.3"

"Partner's information has been updated"

you:"……???"

You are startled.

Isn't it true, the combination of the goodwill of this pig-headed boy is actually more casual than Shanyi?

You looked at Inosuke in amazement, he didn't notice his changes, he still said energetically: "Okay! Let's fight another day!"

You were silent for a moment, then secretly clicked on Inosuke's panel.

【Mouth Inosuke】

Level: Lv.75

Role details:

……

……

profile 3

Unlike his unyielding character, Inosuke has a fragile glass heart to some extent.

If you see him suddenly paralyzed somewhere in a very negative way, you might as well smile and step forward to provoke——

He will definitely respond to you very spiritually.

profile 4

(Unlocked, unlocked after the bond reaches Lv.4)

you:"……"

... How belligerent is this man?

"By the way, is Miss Kazushin here for something?" Tanjiro asked.

"It's nothing, I just came to see you." You said vaguely, since you have already got the answer from Zenitsu, you don't really want Tanjirou to know the purpose of your coming to him, a swordsman doesn't know what special skill he has cultivated ——This joke is so bad that it’s like a college student who has passed the eighth year of junior high school and doesn’t know that he can speak English. It’s unknown what others will think of you after you say it, but they should all think that you should go to a brain department.

Zenitsu has seen you demented when you hung up the phone, and Tanjirou has a brand new impression of you. His colleagues said that the most important thing in life is face, and you naturally don't want to lose face in front of Tankichi's descendants.

So you smiled at him, and asked with concern like an elder: "I heard from Aoi that you have been practicing the complete collection of breathing and Changzhong recently. Is there anything I can do for you?"

Tanjiro shook his head.

"Although I still can't insist on breathing with full concentration throughout the day, I have gradually mastered the knack." He said, "And Miss Shinobi and Xiaoqing are also helping me. If you continue to train hard, there will be no problem in practicing it. of."

With a smile on his face, the child said a crazy speech like a leveling maniac.

You are immediately in awe of Tanjiro, and you click on his panel, and you see that he has advanced a few more levels.

No player would dislike teammates who are silently upgrading behind their backs. You are in a good mood and encouraged Tanjiro enthusiastically. The red-eyed boy smiled shyly at your praise, and his eyes suddenly drifted away.

"But," he said, "I think maybe Shanyi might need Miss Yixin's encouragement..."

Zenitsu raised his head vigilantly, Tanjiro avoided his gaze, and continued: "I always feel that he is not in a good state recently, he is prone to sleep and can't wake up, and he doesn't have much energy during training..."

No, he didn't go to training or anything.Think about you who have been complained by Aoi Kanzaki.

Tanjiro probably hasn't lied much before, he stuttered when he made up his words, even his facial features began to deform unconsciously, distorted into the appearance of a potato, Inosuke poked his face curiously, you followed the words and looked at Zenitsu , evaluating the value of the other party in the latter's sudden shrinking posture.

Yes, value.

In games, there are always times when trade-offs are required, for example, a stronger character is drawn when drawing cards, and better equipment is dropped when pushing pictures—in short, it is a similar situation, if the old one does not go, the new one does not , Replace unusable characters and use stronger thugs as the main force. This is the normal state of players.

You can pack all your gear in your backpack like a hamster, but you can't put the same effort into all your characters.

The maximum number of intimate relationships a person can maintain is twenty, and the average of the five most intimate relationships with them is the person's own level.

The evaluation given by the system to Shanyi is "excellent in talent and patience". Outstanding is a good word, but it does not mean the best.

You just killed Xia Xianyi of the Twelve Ghost Moons a few days ago, so you were appreciated by Purgatory. If you are lucky, you might be able to get to know more pillars and stepsons, and form stronger teammates.

Even without considering the above, you now know Tanjiro, the descendant of Tankichi. He is talented and good-natured. You promised in your heart to compensate him, and you are sure that he has the value of cultivation.

What about Shanyi?

When you look at him, you can only think of "crying", "fear of death", "lazy", "obedient" and other unimportant words in your mind, and considering Shanyi's recent performance... the balance in your heart is slightly shifted .

After all, he is just an ordinary mortal.Think about it, continuing to force him to train and fight ghosts seems to be just making things difficult for him.

But this kid is your original character, and you still plan to give him a chance.

"Have you had lunch yet?" you asked Shan Yi.

Shan Yi, who was clutching the quilt tightly in a cold sweat, was taken aback for a moment, he looked at you blankly, as if he was ready to take a grenade, but you threw him an orange.

"Eat, eat," he said, "what's the matter?"

"Get up for training after eating." You said, dragging Shanyi out of bed by the collar, "Don't sleep if you can't wake up, it's normal to keep your eyes open and concentrate on breathing, go now Dojo, make up for all the missing shares!"

If you don't sleep, you don't have to get up, and if you don't go to work, you don't have to go to work. This is the creed that you and your colleagues share every time you work overtime throughout the year.

"Huh?" Shanyi exclaimed, "I'm going to die right?!"

"Then I will save you, and save you until you live a hundred years." You said coldly, dragging the screaming boy to the deserted ashram without looking back.

Doctors inject adrenaline and pacemakers while resuscitating dying patients, and you plan to give them one last push before changing teammates.

Train hard like Tanjiro, you think, if Zenitsu can grow strong enough to kill a Kami before your patience runs out—

Then you leave him.
