Chapter 110
"Sister Kanae, you weren't like this before!!!"
After finishing two consecutive limb reattachment surgeries, Qingxi pressed most of his body towards Kurihana Kanao, but Aoi Kanzaki, who was bandaging the wounds of a patient nearby, came over and held Kanao on each side.
Listening to the girl's faint complaints, Kocho Kanae, who had also just finished surgery, said innocently, "Ah, thank you for your hard work. It's just that I can't help it. There are too many seriously injured patients sent here this time. Just Mr. Yaoyan and I are not enough, so I have to trouble Ah Xi."
"That's not what I meant." Qingxi was angry at the other party's stupidity. "I was talking about the workload."
It has only been three days since she came to Butterfly House. Excluding the first day when she was adjusting her schedule, she performed a total of five operations in the next two days. Isn't this frequency a bit too much?
"Well, those who are capable should do more work." The blood on Kanae Kocho's hand had not been cleaned yet, so she could only comfort Qingxi with words.
Qingxi opened his mouth, but then thought about how they were still in the ward and said, "Let's talk about it outside."
The group quickly left the ward, leaving a few medical staff there to help with the final cleanup.
After cleaning, Qingxi sat in the cafeteria.
It was now 2:30 in the afternoon, past lunchtime, but a dozen people including her, Kocho Kanae, Kocho Shinobu, Yagen Toushirou, Mei, Keiko, Kanzaki Aoi, and others had just sat down to eat lunch.
After she had a little food in her stomach, Qingxi finally asked the question she had wanted to ask in the ward just now, "Sister Kanae, are the strength of the ghosts so high now?"
Otherwise, she couldn't imagine why she had to perform five operations on the Demon Slayer Corps within two days.
Maybe what Kanae Kocho said about those who are capable doing more work is one of the reasons, but please note that she performed five operations in two days, not including her and Yaken.
If I am the one who is capable and should work harder, then these two people are not much better than me.
This is exactly what made Qingxi think more.
Kocho Kanae stopped eating and frowned on her face, which had always been an optimistic smile for everyone. "It's true that the strength of the demons is gradually increasing, but there are reasons for this on our side."
Unlike her sister's subtle words, Shinobu Kocho was blunt. She said, "Including the candidates who passed the selection this year, their strength is not as good as in previous years. In other words, the level of the demon hunters selected by the Demon Slayer Corps in the past two years is average, or even mediocre."
"Since their level is average, then how did these two classes pass the selection?" Qingxi's mind was still empty at the moment, so the words came out without thinking.
But no one could answer her question.
Qingxi didn't notice and continued to talk: "Also, since those people passed the Demon Slayer Corps selection, they were just like shooting stars in the sky because of their lack of strength."
Qingxi sighed, "There's nothing wrong with their determination to kill ghosts. However, let me tell you something you probably don't like to hear: a good blacksmith must have strong tools. It would be fine if the ghosts they encounter are all weak, but what if they encounter slightly stronger ones?
It's just another dish for the ghosts."
The atmosphere in the cafeteria was getting colder and colder, but no one responded to Qingxi's words at this moment.
Yagen Toushirou's purple eyes silently swept over the crowd. He adjusted his glasses and asked in a low voice, "General, what do you think?"
Qingxi looked up with confusion in his eyes.
Seeing that he had attracted everyone's attention and was just eating and drinking without any mood, Shinobu Kocho was about to get angry.
Just when she was considering whether to personally go and shake the little girl's head to make her "wake up", the girl's voice rang out again.
"As for me, since I used to be from Butterfly House, the wounded sent here by the Anbu personnel can be divided into three types.
From high to low, the first type is the one who has the determination to kill ghosts, has good martial arts skills, and can remain calm when encountering ghosts. Even if the opponent's strength may be above his own, he can still fight back in the end.
The second type has the determination to kill ghosts. They also keep their brains clear and use correct judgment when encountering ghosts, but their own martial arts skills are a little lacking.
The third type is someone who has the resolve to kill a demon, but when they encounter one, they become nervous and afraid, causing them to lose the advantage in the first place. Luckily, they're rescued, or they manage to struggle and fight back, but fear prevents them from applying the breathing techniques they've learned, ultimately leading to their death without a fight.
Having said that, Qingxi will not say anything more.
If she could discover this, then how could Ubuyashiki Kōya, who is in charge of the entire Demon Slayer Corps, not know about it?
However, he didn't do anything to change, so he must have his own considerations and difficulties, so there's no need to keep complaining.
Many times, senior managers may have already arranged the next step and the next step, but they just lack time to implement them. However, someone suddenly jumps out and gives them a self-righteous lecture, or does something that disrupts all their plans. That would be terrible.
Seeing that others were still lost in thought because he had divided ghost hunters into three categories, Qingxi lowered his head and quickly finished the food in front of him, cleaned up, took the plate to the kitchen, and finally waved to everyone before going to the crowhouse.
After closing the shoji door, she lay down on the tatami, took a palm-leaf fan and took a nap. She slept through dinner.
Yagen Toushirou came here once, but when he saw the girl sleeping soundly on the tatami through the small gap in the shoji door, he gave up the idea of waking her up.
As for the problem of the other party waking up hungry, in his opinion, it does not exist on the general's side.
After seeing the people, he left.
Qingxi slept until the next day.
In the following days at the Butterfly House, apart from performing surgery on patients, she spent the rest of her time either watching Kanao drink milk, making amulets, writing calligraphy, studying the technique to summon sword men, and petting cats. Later, the "unscrupulous sister" Butterfly Kanae completely handed Kanao over to Qingxi.
What can she do when she sees Kurihana Ryokanai lying like a wooden man?
Then... let's start a literacy class.
only--
The only student was a little difficult.

"In this world, furry things are the most healing to people's hearts." Qingxi sighed after finishing today's word recognition time and giving a plate of soy sauce meatballs that he made to Lihua Luo Kanao, asking her to take it and eat it herself.
She picked up Taro, who was curled up next to her and taking a nap, buried her head in Taro's soft fur and sucked on him hard. Only then did she feel satisfied.
Hearing some noise next door, she asked tentatively, "Tsurumaru?"
"Hey! It's me." The voice of the man next door was heard, and soon there was footsteps, and then a white head poked out from outside the open shoji door.
"Come in, I have something for you." Qingxi said as he placed the tool cat Taro on his legs.
"Oh, have you made one yet?" Seeing the small amulet that the girl took out from her gourmet backpack, Tsurumaru Kuninaga skipped into the room and sat down next to the small round table.
The small amulet looked even smaller when Tsurumaru Kuninaga picked it up. He swung it slowly by the rope, "Is this the only one?"
Qingxi was in a good mood and raised three fingers to him and said, "No, it's three."
"Making three amulets in just half a month, not bad, not bad, the master has made great progress." Tsurumaru Kuninaga mentally calculated the time they had arrived at the Butterfly House, and then thought about her previous efficiency in making amulets, and instantly clapped her hands exaggeratedly. "Keep up the good work."
"Zero points for exaggerated acting." Qingxi waved his hand at him with a look of disgust, "Hurry up, hurry up, you men have a higher body temperature than women, especially seeing as you're accompanying someone for rehabilitation. After exercising, your body temperature will rise by several degrees. It's summer, and I feel hot when I'm close to you.
Finally, that sweaty smell... You came back to get some clean clothes and take a shower, right? Hurry up, let's go."
"One last question." Tsurumaru Kuninaga held up a finger, "Who are you going to give the remaining two amulets to?"
Qingxi blinked and asked instead of answering: "Why don't you guess I keep it for myself? Or save it up?"
"Ah, it's not impossible." Tsurumaru Kuninaga rubbed his chin and murmured. "But, Master, I always feel that you will give people away."
Qingxi held down the head of Taro, the cat who always wanted to climb onto her, and let it nestle on her legs, while she put away the paper and pen on the small round table.
Seeing that the other person's butt was firmly stuck to the tatami, she had no choice but to say, "Make two more. When you have four, have Jiro send them to Momoyama."
After she finished speaking, she gave him a look that said, "You can go now."
Tsurumaru Kuninaga moved, but he moved towards Kiyoki, causing Kiyoki to hide in his arms repeatedly. This also made Taro, who was curled up between her legs, feel uncomfortable.
"What happens after sending Taoshan away?" he asked.
Qingxi: “…”
"Okay, okay, if you make an amulet next time, I'll wear one myself." Qingxi said, finally understanding his ultimate meaning.
But she didn't expect the other party to imitate her way of speaking. "The tone was perfunctory."
Before the girl got angry, Tsurumaru Kuninaga stood up and walked out of the house in two whooshes. When he was about to be blocked by the shoji door, he did not forget to wave to Qingxi.
