Chapter 73 Chapter 73 He began to feel the worldly smell.

"Wait."
Tomioka Giyu's voice echoed in the corridor.
Li Xiaoqi and Ganlu Temple Mitsuri turned around together and looked with puzzled expressions.
Tomioka Giyuu looked over with his dark eyes, his mouth slightly open, as if he wanted to say something.
The two waited for a while before they heard Tomioka Giyuu speak again.
"good evening."
A dry good night came into my ears.
Kanroji Mitsuri was startled and asked in surprise, "Hey, is Mr. Tomioka saying goodnight to us?"
Li Xiaoqi stood beside her, without any expression of surprise, but just looked at Tomioka Giyu with curiosity.
Tomioka Giyu frowned slightly, with a look of annoyance in his eyes.
He nodded slightly and quickly turned and left.
Mitsuri Kanroji looked at his back and said in surprise, "Mr. Tomioka actually took the initiative to say goodnight to us..."
Li Xiaoqi blinked and asked in confusion, "Isn't this normal?"
Mitsuri Kanroji shook her head. "Mr. Tomioka doesn't speak most of the time. He only says a few words when you ask him a question."
Li Xiaoqi pondered for a moment and watched Tomioka Giyu's figure disappear from the corner of the corridor.
Mitsuri Ganlu Temple took Li Xiaoqi's hand, lifted the bathroom curtain and stepped in.
There are two rooms inside, a men's bathroom and a women's bathroom, with gender written on the blue curtains at the door.
Mitsuri of Ganlu Temple opened the wooden door and saw a nanny busy inside.
"Lord Kanroji."
The nanny was wearing a gray kimono with a white apron in front.
She put down the fan in her hand, bowed and said, "The hot water is ready."
Kanroji Mitsuri thanked the nanny energetically, "Aunt Tachihara, thank you so much!"
The nanny smiled, bowed again, passed by Li Xiaoqi and left the bathroom.
The bathroom was filled with mist, and the hot water in the wooden pool was just the right temperature, with a wood fire burning beneath the water.
There are many flower petals in the pool, which are colorful and very beautiful.
Kanroji Mitsuri first happily fiddled with the petals in the pond, then puffed up her cheeks and said helplessly, "Really... I told you not to go to such great lengths."
"That's because you saved Aunt Tachihara before."
At some point, the door was opened and Shinobu Kocho leaned in with a gentle smile on her face. She looked surprised when she saw Li Xiaoqi, but she quickly reacted and greeted Li Xiaoqi.
"Good evening, Miss Nana."
Li Xiaoqi raised his hand awkwardly and said hello, "Miss Butterfly, are you coming to take a bath too?"
Shinobu Kocho smiled and nodded, putting her change of yukata in the basket.
"Tolerate!"
Mitsuri Kanroji jumped and happily hung on Shinobu Kocho.
"Miss Nana doesn't know how to bathe, so I brought her along."
Shinobu Kocho looked over with a surprised expression.
“Eh…”
Li Xiaoqi scratched his head embarrassedly and coughed lightly, "Sorry, it's weird, right?"
Shinobu Kocho shook her head and said with a smile, "It seems that life in Miss Nana's world is more convenient."
Li Xiaoqi laughed dryly twice and said nothing.
"Okay, let's go in and have a drink!"
Mitsuri Kanroji grabbed one person each and dragged Shinobu Kocho and Li Xiaoqi into the water.
Water splashed everywhere, Li Xiaoqi screamed and closed his eyes.
Soon, the water calmed down and I felt the kneading of my palms.
When Li Xiaoqi opened her eyes, she saw Shinobu Kocho and Mitsuri Kanroji sitting on her left and right, holding her hands and studying them.
"What beautiful hands."
"Yeah, no calluses at all."
Li Xiaoqi looked at them blankly, with a look of panic in his eyes.
Kanroji Mitsuri leaned closer, "Miss Nana is a traveler from another world. Is her usual technique that... magic?"
Shinobu Kocho lowered her eyes and looked at the delicate hands, her expression softening a little.
"It's incredible. It looks like a completely normal person's hand."
"Miss Nana is a powerful person who can become good friends with gods from other worlds. Calluses on her hands are definitely not a thing."
Mitsuri Kanroji said excitedly, with no doubt on her face.
Li Xiaoqi understood their doubts. In their eyes, as a traveler, they would encounter all kinds of difficulties and obstacles. What's more, in Dazai Osamu's story, they also fought against the "natural law" of the world of Teyvat and became good friends with the gods.
In this world, Dazai Osamu added an additional setting to the story of his journey to Teyvat.
That is Li Xiaoqi, the younger sister. At the end of her journey in Teyvat, she was seriously injured and lost all her power in the process of fighting against "natural law" in order to successfully find her brother Dazai Osamu.
The brother was filled with remorse and used all his strength to save his sister. As a result, the brother and sister lost their own powers and became the same as ordinary humans. They had to rely on the props and elemental power obtained from the item contract signed on the continent of Teyvat to protect themselves. When necessary, they could use the summoning contract to summon the creatures of Teyvat.
Shinobu Kocho looked at Li Xiaoqi seriously and said, "Indeed, the magic that can bring people back to life can be called a miracle of the gods in this world. No wonder Mr. Rengoku regards Miss Nana and Mr. Dazai as mountain gods."
Li Xiaoqi shook her head in panic. What the two of them said praised her too much.
"It's not like that..."
She stopped talking halfway through her words and stared at the petals floating on the water in a daze.
“Very impressive!”
Mitsuri Kanroji came closer and spoke with full energy.
Li Xiaoqi took a step back, and a blush gradually appeared on his face, simply because the other person's body was completely pressed against him.
Shinobu Kocho watched from the side and laughed softly.
Just as the three of them finished their bath and were about to get up, a noise came from the bathroom opposite.
"ah!!!"
It was a rather heart-wrenching cry.
Li Xiaoqi recognized it; it was Dazai Osamu's voice.
She blinked slowly and looked at the two girls beside her in confusion, "What happened across the way?"
"Attack, attack?"
Mitsuri Kanroji said in panic.
"Probably not. Let's go out and take a look."
Shinobu Kocho pulled out her yukata and quickly put it on.
Compared with the two of them, Li Xiaoqi seemed clumsy in putting on his yukata and was a step slower in walking to the door.
Unexpectedly, Mitsuri Kanroji and Shinobu Kocho looked stunned.
Li Xiaoqi looked closely and saw Dazai Osamu rushing out, with his yukata tied around his waist like a bath towel, and his exposed back was red.
"Kyojuro-kun, you're rubbing my back too hard!"
Dazai Osamu's eyes were filled with tears, and he complained like a young wife.
Then, the bathroom door was opened again, and Rengoku Kyojuro popped his head out and stretched out his arms to pull Dazai Osamu back.
"Mr. Dazai, this little bit of strength is too much for you? You need to train harder!"
Rengoku Kyojuro said hello to Li Xiaoqi, Kocho Shinobu and Kanroji Mitsuri, then slammed the door shut.
From inside the door, Dazai Osamu's howling voices rang out one after another.
"That won't do, Mr. Dazai. Starting tomorrow, I'll ask you to join me for morning exercises!"
"No need—no need to repay the favor—"
"Hmm! How can this be? I mean what I say."
Li Xiaoqi's mouth twitched, revealing a speechless look.
Butterfly couldn't help but laugh, "That's really something to think about."
Mitsuri Kanroji's eyes lit up and she let out a suspicious laugh.
Li Xiaoqi turned his head unexpectedly and saw a familiar look in Ganlu Temple Mitsuri's eyes.
“…Huh?”
In this way, Li Xiaoqi and Dazai Osamu stayed in the Ubuyashiki mansion for three days, and every morning Li Xiaoqi could hear Rengoku Kyojuro's shouting.
Just like now——
"Mr. Dazai, get up for morning exercise!"
Rengoku Kyojuro put his hands on his hips and shouted with full force.
Tanjiro Kamado, Zenitsu Agatsuma, and Inosuke Hashibira stood upright behind him, lined up in a row, and also shouted.
"Mr. Dazai, please get up--"
"Dazhi! Get up now!"
Li Xiaoqi sleepily held the quilt and opened the paper door. He saw Rengoku Kyojuro standing in the sun with a bright look on his face, and yawned loudly.
She lay down on the porch, letting the morning sun fall on her face, and the shouts of the four people kept repeating in her ears.
In this side courtyard, no one would complain about disturbing others in the morning because Jiuzhutian got up before dawn to train. Only Li Xiaoqi and Dazai Osamu were the last to get up.
During the Pillar Meeting, the nine pillars will stay in the Ubuyashiki residence for three or four days, and the task of patrolling the territory will be handed over to their stepsons or stronger team members.
At this time, the door of the next room was opened and a maggot-like creature crawled out.
Dazai Osamu wrapped the quilt tightly around his body, his hair a mess like a chicken coop.
He opened his eyes hazily and begged for mercy: "Kyojuro-kun, please, let me go——"
There was a red mark on the back of Dazai Osamu's neck. Li Xiaoqi narrowed his eyes and asked, "Brother, what's wrong with the back of your neck?"
Tanjiro Kamado scratched his hair embarrassedly and said, "I'm sorry..."
Inosuke Hashibira crossed his arms, and air was coming out of the nostrils of his mask.
My wife Zenitsu lowered her head, closed her eyes and began to take a nap.
"?"
A question mark popped up in Li Xiaoqi's head.
"Mr. Dazai suddenly appeared in our room last night and scared me. He said he couldn't sleep because of insomnia and wanted to drink Miss Nana's calming tea, but Miss Nana fell asleep again. He didn't have the heart to wake you, so he asked me if there was any way to treat insomnia."
"Mr. Dazai kept nagging so much that he woke Inosuke up. He hit Mr. Dazai on the neck, and he passed out, no, he fell asleep."
Tanjiro Kamado pulled Inosuke Hashibira to apologize, but Inosuke Hashibira snorted twice and said sorry reluctantly.
In just a short while, Dazai fell asleep again, snoring softly.
When Rengoku Kyojuro saw Dazai like this, he carried him directly onto his shoulders.
"Mr. Dazai, it's time for training—"
Dazai Osamu startled and jumped off his shoulder.
"I know, I know!"
He slammed the door shut and quickly opened it again, donning his Demon Slayer Corps uniform.
Li Xiaoqi sobered up a little and looked at Dazai Osamu's reluctant look in the sunlight with a smile.
Of course, it would have been impossible for Dazai Osamu to submit so obediently at the beginning.
On the first day, Dazai Osamu ignored Rengoku Kyojuro's request, but after being pursued for a whole day, he had no choice but to agree.
Li Xiaoqi scratched his hair and saw his tearful face, and felt that there was a little life on his face at this moment.
She had watched their training once, and Dazai Osamu didn't participate much, at most he just ran with them.
When it came to the swordsmanship training session, Rengoku Kyojuro did not force Dazai Osamu to participate, but he did not let him go back either.
Dazai Osamu stood in the bright sunshine, feeling very bored, picking flowers and making garlands.
Therefore, Li Xiaoqi received more than a dozen wreaths in these three days.
Perhaps, Rengoku Kyojuro felt that Dazai Osamu had too much lifelessness, so he wanted to take him out to bask in the morning sun and absorb some spiritual energy from heaven and earth.
Now it seems that there is some effect.
Dazai Osamu stayed in a dark environment for too long. Getting more sun exposure is good for his physical and mental health.
Li Xiaoqi glanced sideways into the house. Garlands of various sizes were placed on the tatami by the window. Some had withered, but some were still full of vitality.
She raised the corners of her lips and smiled happily.
Li Xiaoqi finally felt that Dazai Osamu had some worldly air.
The eldest brother is worthy of being the eldest brother. He easily accomplished what she found difficult to do.
