Chapter 122 Awakening and Inquiry
Yan Sheng opened his eyes, got up and shook his head vigorously, looking around in a daze.
Where is this?
He felt...well physically, just a little nauseous.
Iwakatsu remembered that he ended up with Yoriichi Tsugikuni, or something like that. He leaned back and thought for a long time, vaguely remembering something.
Tsugikuni Genichi is a rare bloodline.
Damn it, he's dizzy and confused. Ahhhhhh, help! I want to die.
The more Yan Sheng recalled, the uglier his face became. He now wanted to use the Void Crying God to stab everyone to death. He had to leave, he absolutely had to leave. He was truly fed up with his daily misfortune and misery.
Iwakatsu suddenly remembered Kawakami Akio, who had previously said that he would go crazy when he was drunk, and it turned out to be true.
It's one thing to go crazy, but to go crazy in such a shameful way.
Iwakatsu got out of bed, straightened his clothes, and looked at the covered window. He could tell it was nighttime. He had no idea where Yoriichi Tsugikuni had taken him.
Iwakatsu walked over and opened the window. As he stepped out, he saw Yushiro sweeping the yard.
"ah……"
The two remained silent. Iwakatsu silently withdrew his foot from the window, and Yushiro also looked away, pretending not to have seen anything.
"here it is……?"
"You've been sleeping at one of Lord Tamayo's properties for two days now."
He'd been sleeping in a different place for two days already, so how many days had he been unconscious in total? The thin blood was really scary. Yan Sheng cursed inwardly; he'd refused before being forced to drink it—was he crazy?
Iwakatsu still managed to climb out of the window. Yushiro watched, but unable to defeat him, he could only swallow back what he wanted to say.
What are you doing out here?
What problem?
Seeing Yushiro's earnest question, Iwakatsu was momentarily stunned, unsure how to answer. After a long silence, he changed the subject, asking, "Is Tamayo-san here?"
"Lady Tamayo is doing research. Let me take you there."
Yushiro put the broom down and led Iwaki to the other side of the house. Iwaki noticed that there was still a lot of dust along the way, which meant that the house had been moved in temporarily.
"Lord Jushi."
Yushiro walked up to a door and knocked, his gaze involuntarily drifting towards Iwakatsu. He had a good impression of Iwakatsu, who had helped them a lot, and although Iwakatsu was on Muzan Kibutsuji's side, he wasn't too close to Lady Tamayo.
"Come in."
Tamayo's voice came through, and Yushiro opened the door. Iwakatsu saw a specially tidied laboratory.
The scene was polarized: on one side were equipment displays and numerous test tubes containing different liquids, while on the other side were piles of books and various documents on white paper.
"Mr. Iwakatsu! Please have a seat."
Tamayo noticed Iwakatsu walking in behind her and put down the pen she was taking notes with. Iwakatsu nodded to her and sat down opposite her before she stood up.
Yushiro skillfully brewed tea at the other table, while Iwakatsu glanced at the incomplete data on the table, which was about research on resistance.
How are you feeling now?
Looking at Iwakatsu's appearance, Tamayo flipped through a stack of documents and found the previous examination data for Iwakatsu.
"fine……"
"That's good. Mr. Yoriichi's blood is quite special among the rare blood I've encountered. It's more attractive than ordinary rare blood. I'm glad Mr. Iwakatsu is alright."
My first encounter with Yan Sheng, who has rare blood: I was surprised to learn that even rare blood has varying degrees of strength. I never thought my resistance was that weak.
Seeing Iwakatsu's unpleasant expression, Tamayo wisely changed the subject.
"I also studied and extracted a lot of useful data from the blue spider lily that Mr. Iwakatsu delivered before, but there was a glitch in one place, so I took it upon myself to use Mr. Iwakatsu's blood for research. I would like to apologize to you for that."
"?" Wait, what flower? The one I gave it to?
Iwakatsu felt as if he had heard something extraordinary. He looked at Tamayo, who continued talking without noticing.
"May I ask Mr. Iwakatsu a few questions?"
"……Can."
Iwakatsu didn't care. He felt that since only Kamado Nezuko's blood was helpful for the research on the potion that turned people into humans, there must be a reason.
"Mr. Iwakatsu, have you never eaten much...flesh and blood?"
Tamayo tentatively inquired, explaining that she had conducted experiments before, and besides herself and Yushiro, only Iwakatsu's blood was different. After seeing Nezuko, she wondered if it might be due to what they ate.
"..."
Yan Sheng fell silent. Over the years, he had only eaten a tiny bit and slept most of the time, so he really hadn't eaten much.
"It's not really anything important."
Tamayo saw that Iwakatsu did not answer, nor did she press him. This was just a guess, but in fact, everyone's constitution is different.
I've eaten it...once.
Although Iwakatsu knew this wouldn't help his research, he still answered Tamayo, admiring her perseverance in focusing on one thing for so many years.
Tamayo paused in recording. Kibutsuji Muzan said that demons who are directly given blood would crave human flesh and blood even more. She didn't expect that Iwakatsu had only eaten it once.
Yan Sheng didn't think there was anything wrong with it. In fact, all the Upper Moon demons had their own flaws. They were flaws, but they weren't the kind of demons that had to eat humans.
After asking a few more questions about Iwakatsu's physical sensations, Tamayo put the data away. She picked up the tea that Yushiro had brewed and took a couple of sips.
“Mr. Yoriichi has gone out and may be back later. He is very worried about you.”
Yoriichi Tsugikuni is, after all, human, unlike Tamayo and the others who can go for a long time without eating or drinking. It just so happens that he went out to buy supplies today.
Is this for real?
Iwakatsu nodded calmly, but his mind was already racing, trying to figure out which direction to run in so he wouldn't run into them. He could have just called out to Nakime, but that might reveal Tamayo and the others' location.
After leaving Tamayo's laboratory, Iwakatsu stood in the courtyard, looking at the surrounding trees and then up at the eye-like symbol on the house.
The yellow and red talismans from my past life were more pleasing to the eye.
Thinking this, Yan Sheng didn't intend to stay any longer. As he climbed out of the courtyard, he sensed a different aura, and after turning around, the house began to appear illusory.
Let's get further away.
Yan Sheng walked quite a distance before daring to call out to Nakime, and then stepped inside without hesitation. He didn't want to have an awkward encounter with Yoriichi Tsugikuni anymore, especially after he had gone mad.
On the other side
"Lord Tamayo, he's gone."
Yushiro stood beside Tamayo and said this. Tamayo was not surprised. She could tell that Iwakatsu did not want to see Yoriichi Tsugikuni at all.
After learning the reasons behind Mr. Iwakatsu's coma, Tamayo guessed what had happened.
"It's alright, I'll just talk to Mr. Yoriichi."
After tidying up the documents on her desk, Tamayo went to the courtyard and saw Chachamaru emerging from the woods.
Tamayo looked at Chachamaru at his feet, patted its head, and took out a delicate scalpel from the backpack on its back. A blood-red line was clearly visible on the silver blade.
Unexpectedly, Tanjiro encountered her so quickly. As expected of a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, Tamayo picked up her scalpel and walked into the house. She had to pack this up quickly.
