Ever since the new batch of Demon Slayer Corps members arrived, Yoizumi's life had become much more vibrant.
During the day, he trained the members, and in the evenings, he would occasionally spar with Muichiro and the others, or continue to ponder the next sword form of the Breath of Snow on his own.
He would also set aside time to think about his proposal; it was always best to prepare early for such matters.
The book said that when one has absolute confidence in giving happiness to their beloved, they should give that person a firm commitment.
Taking advantage of the midday break,
Yoizumi walked into Shinobu's room. The Purple Rose displayed in the most prominent spot had been there for a month and a half, and it was already showing signs of wilting. Its petals were no longer as vibrant and tender as they once were, looking somewhat listless.
Indeed, without its roots, it was difficult to preserve.
He replaced the special plant nutrient solution, hoping it would last a little longer.
If only there were Purple Roses that would never wilt.
Hmm... What would happen if he added a drop of his blood to this water?
He quietly took a needle, pricked his fingertip, and a drop of blood fell into the water. The bright red blood and clean water quickly blended together.
Yoizumi waited for a while, staring at the Purple Rose which showed no change, and eventually gave up.
Then he would prepare a larger Purple Rose garden for Shinobu. With enough quantity, even if they died, it would take a long time for them all to perish.
He casually sprinkled fish food for the lively goldfish swimming in the glass tank.
After such a long time together, the 'fugu' and 'Xiao Yang' were very harmonious. Their beautiful fish tails refracted the sunlight, emitting lovely colors.
Hmm?
Yoizumi leaned closer to examine one of the 'fugu' carefully. Was its belly... bulging?
Compared to the other two, it truly was.
Could it be... that it ate too much fish food?
Kanzaki Aoi usually took care of feeding them, so Yoizumi never sprinkled too much.
It seems it ate too much.
Yoizumi withdrew the extra handful of food he was about to add.
Don't get sick.
Through the glass tank, the three goldfish watched their food fly away with wide eyes. Their round eyes looked at Yoizumi in dissatisfaction, nudging the tank with their small heads to express their displeasure.
Time was almost up; it was time to resume training.
What Yoizumi didn't notice was that the wilting Purple Rose withered completely within a few breaths after he left the room... The sky was filled with the glow of the setting sun, and the intense training ended with everyone present, except for Genya and Kanao, collapsing on the ground.
Because Genya had been eating demons for a long time, his body had, to some extent, assimilated with demons. Simple wounds on his body could heal quickly, and his stamina was beyond reproach.
And Kanao, as Shinobu's Tsuguko, was excellent. Her body coordination was extremely strong; she quickly adjusted her landing posture after being knocked away, and her clothes were cleaner than anyone else's present.
"Rest," Yoizumi said, leaving that one sentence before preparing to spar with Shinazugawa and the others today. A dusty Genya quickly ran to Yoizumi's side.
