Hijou Feiye looked at Tanjiro with a hint of nervousness and anticipation in her eyes. "Do I really need to go to the beginner's village to participate in the final selection, Tanjiro?" she asked, her palms unconsciously sweating.
Tanjiro smiled and replied in a reassuring tone, "The head of the household said you don't need to. Because you've already encountered a demon who uses 'Blood Demon Art,' you don't need to face those ordinary demons anymore."
Hijou Feiye Quietly celebrating in their hearts, thinking, "Great, I don't have to face those terrifying ghosts alone."
"Then where will I be sent for training, Tanjiro?" she asked again.
Tanjiro coughed and said, "head of the household said, considering your age and the fact that your hands don't look like they've ever wielded a sword, you will be sent to Kocho Shinobu first."
Hijou Feiye nodded, thinking that it was fine this way. At least Kocho Shinobu was a trustworthy person, as long as they didn't encounter someone like Giyu Tomioka, who was reticent and taciturn.
Hijou Feiye's footsteps on the stone path laid by Wisteria at choyashiki seemed somewhat tense. This building, adorned with lush flowers and soft lighting, far exceeded her expectations for medical facilities in the Taisho Era.
The atmosphere of this medical facility of the Demon Slayer Corps can be felt just from its exterior, creating a sense of peace.
"Here is the choyashiki, the most advanced medical center of the Demon Slayer Corps," said Tanjiro as he turned around, a slight smile on his face, seemingly also feeling the tranquility of the place.
"Yeah, much more magnificent than I imagined," Hijou Feiye responded, filled with curiosity about everything here.
"Thank you so much, Tanjiro, for bringing me here," Hijou Feiye sincerely said to Tanjiro.
Smiling, Tanjiro replied, "No need to thank me, this is also part of the Demon Slayer Corps' job. I hope you can learn more useful things here." With that, he turned and walked away, leaving Hijou Feiye to face the gates of the choyashiki alone.
In front of the gate is a stone staircase, with various flowers planted on both sides, among which the Butterfly pea flower is the most vibrant.
Hijou Feiye took a deep breath, then stepped onto the stone steps and entered the courtyard. A gentle fragrance permeated the air, brought by the faintly glowing purple butterflies dancing among the flowers.
"These butterflies are not just decorations; they are poisonous and can kill demons," a voice sounded from behind Hijou Feiye.
Turning around, a young woman appeared in her line of sight. She had long black hair with purple tips, and her eyes had butterfly-like patterns. Her face was elegant and beautiful, like a painting come to life.
"Hello, I am Kocho Shinobu," the woman introduced herself.
"Hijou Feiye, nice to meet the Insect Hashira for the first time," Hijou Feiye responded with a slight smile.
Kocho Shinobu glanced at Hijou Feiye and then smiled, "You have a very unique aura about you."
"Ah, well..." Hijou Feiye felt a bit awkward, not sure how to respond.
"Don't worry, this is a place for research and medical treatment, everything is for fighting against ghosts," Kocho Shinobu said softly, then turned and led Feiye towards a huge indoor garden.
"This is where we grow medicinal herbs and research drugs," Kocho Shinobu pointed to the space filled with various plants and complex instruments.
"Very impressive..." Hijou Feiye exclaimed in a low voice.
"Are you interested in medicine?" Kocho Shinobu asked.
"Uh, I have taken some relevant courses in college," Hijou Feiye replied.
"That's great, we need someone with special abilities and knowledge like yours here," a hint of excitement flashed in Kocho Shinobu's eyes.
"Special ability?" Hijou Feiye were a bit puzzled.
"I'm referring to the aura of the sun that you have." Kocho Shinobu said, her expression becoming very serious.
Hijou Feiye After a moment of silence, he nodded and said, "I would be glad to help if I can."
Kocho Shinobu smiled and said, "That would be wonderful. We can start with simple herb identification and basic medical skills."
After several hours of study and practice, Hijou Feiye not only mastered some basic medical knowledge, but also gained a deeper understanding of the operation of choyashiki. She even successfully made a simple pain-relief ointment using medicinal herbs.
"You learn very quickly, even better than I expected," praised Kocho Shinobu.
"That's all thanks to your guidance," Hijou Feiye responded humbly.
"No, you have a natural talent," Kocho Shinobu said seriously, "If you're willing, we can further extract your blood and study the unique aura in your body. Perhaps it could become a new weapon against demons."
Hijou Feiye After some contemplation, nodded and said, "Okay, if this can help the Demon Slayer Corps, I'm willing to do it."
Kocho Shinobu's eyes lit up with joy, "That's great to hear."
As the night falls, the lights inside choyashiki become softer. Hijou Feiye stand by the window, overlooking the dancing butterflies and blooming flowers in the courtyard, feeling deeply moved. In this unfamiliar era and world, they have finally found a place to showcase their talents. And all of this is because of that mysterious solar aura.
"Perhaps, I can truly find my own mission here," she murmured softly, then turned and walked back to her room, preparing for the learning and practice of the next day.
The next day, Hijou Feiye and Kocho Shinobu were sitting in a delicate courtyard at the choyashiki, gathered around a low wooden table. On the table were various dried and fresh medicinal herbs, as well as a thick ancient book titled "General Discourse on Medicinal Properties."
"This herb is called Thunder Emperor Root, and it has a strong detoxifying effect, especially against ghost toxins..." Kocho Shinobu lightly touches a soil-yellow root with a scholar's enthusiasm on her face.
"This is really fascinating. I never thought herbs could be so miraculous." Hijou Feiye picks up a Thunder Emperor Root, eyes full of curiosity.
At that moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps in the courtyard, and a member of the Demon Slayer Corps dressed in black uniform and with an anxious expression rushed in.
"Report! One of our members is injured!" The member gasped for breath, clearly having rushed here from a considerable distance.
"Understood, bring him over immediately." Kocho Shinobu ordered with a stern expression.
Following that, two squad members slowly brought in an injured squad member with a pale face and a strong smell of blood all over his body, and placed him on a treatment bed.
Kocho Shinobu quickly approached the injured person and examined his wounds with a professional eye. She noticed that although the injured person seemed critical, he was not poisoned or injured by the demon's "blood demon technique," and could only be considered mildly injured. However, she still wanted to confirm before making a judgment.
"Can you tell us how you got injured?" Kocho Shinobu sat back at the wooden table, looking at the soldier who had just taken medicine.
"Yes, I was attacked by a demon while on a mission deep in the mountains, and then I fell down the mountain and narrowly escaped." The soldier's tone revealed a hint of pain.
Kocho Shinobu looked at him calmly and asked, "Can you describe the appearance and abilities of that demon?"
"It's about two meters tall, with black skin all over its body. But the most impressive thing is its eyes—like flames burning in the pitch-black night sky, crimson and terrifying," the soldier's voice trembled slightly, as if just recalling it made him shudder.
"What special abilities or attack methods does it have?" Kocho Shinobu continued to inquire.
"It can control shadows. In battle, it will use shadows to launch surprise attacks, and can even blend into the darkness, making it difficult to track its movements," the squad member recalled, a pained expression involuntarily appearing on his face.
"This demon sounds very dangerous, but luckily you weren't targeted further, otherwise it would have been impossible to survive," said Kocho Shinobu.
After confirming that the injury was minor, Kocho Shinobu turned around and looked at Hijou Feiye, asking.
"Feiye, this is your first real combat test. Are you willing to try?"
"I will do my best," Hijou Feiye replied firmly, with a determination that was hard to put into words shining in their eyes.
She walked to the side of the injured soldier, crouched down, and carefully examined his wounds. Seeing a clear sword mark on his leg, she quickly opened her own medicine box and took out honeysuckle and licorice.
Hijou Feiye Skillfully put honeysuckle and licorice into a small porcelain bowl, then gently crushed them with a pestle. At the same time, she added some clear water and began to stir carefully.
"This step is crucial, ensuring the right balance of herbs and water is essential to maximize the medicinal effect," Hijou Feiye murmured softly, completely focused on the process.
Finally, she poured the evenly mixed medicine into a small glass bottle and tightly sealed the bottle.
"Okay, please have him take this," she stood up and handed the small glass bottle filled with medicine to Kocho Shinobu.
Kocho Shinobu took the small bottle and smiled, saying, "Very good, you passed."
Hijou Feiye breathed a sigh of relief and felt secretly delighted. Not only did the medicine successfully stabilize the vital signs of the injured team member, but it also boosted her confidence in her pharmaceutical skills.
One day, Hijou Feiye stood in the indoor garden of choyashiki, facing a young girl. This girl possessed a delicate observational skill like that of a butterfly, with a unique depth in her eyes.
The girl smiled slightly, with a hint of a smile at the corner of her mouth, but she didn't speak. Her silence seemed to be a part of her communication, expressing her emotions more than words.
Hijou Feiye felt a slight closeness and asked softly, "Hello, I'm Hijou Feiye, Kanao, what work are you responsible for here?"
Kanao quietly looked at her without immediately responding. After a while, she took out a coin from her pocket, tossed it lightly, and then caught it. She looked at one side of the coin and then said softly, "I am in charge of the garden and medicinal herbs here. Also, I help to heal the injured soldiers."
Hijou Feiye nodded, indicating their understanding. She found that although Kanao didn't speak much, her eyes were always so clear and pure, as if she could see directly into people's souls.
"Kanao, I learned a lot about herbs today and found it very interesting," said Hijou Feiye.
A glint appeared in Kanao's eyes, showing her interest in Hijou Feiye's topic. She softly replied, "That's good to hear. The herbs here are very special and are very helpful in fighting demons."
"Feiye, what do you think of this place?" Kanao suddenly asked.
Hijou Feiye paused for a moment, then earnestly replied, "I think this place is very beautiful and peaceful. Everyone is very friendly, and I really like it."
Kanao nodded, seeming satisfied with Hijou Feiye's response. Her gaze returned to the herbs beside her, and her fingers gently brushed over the leaves.
"If you're willing, you can help me take care of these herbs," Kanao suggested.
Hijou Feiye smiled and said, "I'm happy to do so."
And so, Hijou Feiye began a new life at choyashiki, taking care of medicinal herbs with Kanao and learning new medical knowledge, all while making their own contributions to fighting against demons.
