He really hadn't done anything.
Lexon's heart was quite at ease.
"Nothing?..." Tanjiro looked at Lexon a bit suspiciously.
"Big Brother Lexon, if you've done something, you should have the courage to admit it..." Even Nezuko said such a thing to Lexon, clearly believing that something had happened between him and Shinobu Kocho.
"I didn't do anything," Lexon denied in a calm tone.
"Is that so..." Seeing Lexon deny it several times, Tanjiro and Nezuko could only reluctantly set aside their concern.
"By the way, Tanjiro, how are things going between you and Kanao? Are you dating yet?" Lexon suddenly remembered what Sakonji Sensei had mentioned and asked Tanjiro.
"What? What?!! What what!!..." Hearing Lexon's question, Tanjiro's face turned beet red. He waved his hands frantically trying to explain, but found himself unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.
"Big brother is already dating Big Sister Kanao," Nezuko said gently, her face blooming with a smile.
"Oh?" An interested expression appeared on Lexon's face as he asked, "Who confessed first?"
"It was..."
"Nezuko!"
Just as Nezuko was about to speak, Tanjiro covered her mouth with his hand.
"What? Still trying to hide it from me?" Lexon rested his arm on the table, propping up his chin, and said with a smile.
"No!" Tanjiro's cheeks were still flushed, and his voice was unconsciously a bit high-pitched. "It's just that we only started dating a few days ago, and we wanted to wait a while before telling everyone..."
"I see..." Lexon realized, then smiled and asked again, "So who confessed first?"
He was quite curious whether the innocent boy Tanjiro had taken the initiative or if the 'former emotionless girl' Kanao had pursued him.
"Ahhh..." Steam practically puffed from Tanjiro's head like an engine; he was clearly extremely embarrassed to talk about this in front of everyone.
"Dammit... Tanjiro actually has a girlfriend..." Having just learned this, Zenitsu Agatsuma was naturally full of resentment and began tugging at his white handkerchief again.
"Dating? Is dating the same as marriage? Will there be babies? Tanpachiro! Give birth quickly!" Inosuke was still shouting nonsensical things.
"Ahhhhh..." Tanjiro had already slumped onto the table to hide his face.
Lexon and Nezuko looked at each other and shared a few laughs.
In the end, the question of who confessed first remained unanswered.
Tanjiro didn't say.
Unbeknownst to them, while they were chatting, the sky had grown dark, and Lexon stayed the night at Tanjiro's house.
The next day, Sakonji Urokodaki also visited Tanjiro's home.
He didn't seem surprised to see Lexon, as if he had long expected it.
So, the group continued to chat or play with the novel gadgets Lexon brought out.
Tanjiro, Nezuko, and the others weren't very old, so they were naturally attracted to the novelties Lexon produced and had a great time playing with them.
It had to be said that Zenitsu and Inosuke were truly a bickering pair; even playing games felt like a real fight, becoming incredibly intense.
The day passed in joy like this.
The next few days were the same.
By the fifth day, Lexon felt he had spent enough time with Tanjiro. Having also completed the sign-in for Nezuko's sun-resistance trait during her Demon Transformation without her noticing, he planned to leave.
"I've written to the Master and received his reply. I now know the general locations of the people I know, so I plan to go see them," Lexon said, bidding farewell to Tanjiro and the others under the falling snow.
Actually, visiting was secondary; taking it easy was the main goal.
"Be careful on the road."
"Goodbye, Big Brother Lexon."
Tanjiro and the others replied.
Then, Lexon walked a distance until he was out of their sight before flying away.
Otherwise, flying directly in front of them might have startled these kids.
The first stop was Kyojuro's place.
His location was relatively close. When Lexon saw him, he was busy punishing evil.
With his characteristically energetic face, he said seriously to a few bullies, "You must not bully the weak!"
What followed was a classic scene.
The bullies were thrashed on the street by Kyojuro and fled in panic.
However, when Lexon stood before him, the first thing he said was, "You're still alive, Lexon!" which left Lexon a bit speechless.
"Are your injuries healed?" Lexon asked after a few greetings.
A month ago, Kyojuro had been seriously injured in his battle with Akaza, with several broken bones...
"They're completely healed!" Kyojuro said with full vigor.
Seeing him like this, Lexon knew he was perfectly fine, so he didn't waste any effort using Yang Power to heal him.
"That's good... By the way, the Master's illness is cured." Since he was there, Lexon also mentioned this matter.
"Ah? The Master is cured? That's wonderful news!" Hearing this, Kyojuro seemed very happy and praised, "Shinobu's medical skills are indeed superb!"
Clearly, Kyojuro Rengoku attributed Kagaya Ubuyashiki's recovery to Shinobu Kocho.
Lexon didn't bother to correct him.
He was quite indifferent to such things.
After some more chatting, Lexon didn't want to disturb him from continuing his justice-serving work, so he waved goodbye.
"Lexon, remember to visit Shinobu. She's come to me many times asking for news about you!" Kyojuro reminded him loudly before Lexon left.
Lexon's body stiffened, and then he left without saying much.
Giyu's location was further away than Kyojuro's, and since he was traveling and sightseeing, his position was somewhat uncertain.
However, with Lexon's speed and perception, he managed to find Giyu within half an hour.
After Lexon's figure appeared beside Giyu, Giyu didn't seem to show much surprise on his face upon seeing him.
The two stared at each other for a long time.
Finally, Giyu said to Lexon, "It's good that you're okay."
"Yeah," Lexon nodded. "The Master's illness is cured."
"That's good news. I'll go back to visit the Master," Giyu replied.
Their conversation ended there. Lexon didn't linger and flew toward Tamayo and Yushiro's location.
The medical clinic was easy to find; after all, it stayed in one place, unlike Kyojuro and Giyu who had legs to run around on.
It just seemed the clinic wasn't open today, as the doors were closed.
After using his perception to confirm familiar presences inside, Lexon knocked on the door.
"Who is it? We're not open today." Yushiro's footsteps and voice came from behind the shut door.
"Creak..." The sound of the door opening rang out.
Yushiro's head poked out from behind the door.
Upon seeing Lexon outside, a look of shock appeared on his face. "It's... it's you..."
"Can I come in?" Lexon asked Yushiro gently.
"You can." Yushiro nodded and opened the door fully, inviting Lexon into the clinic.
He understood very well what the man before him had done... he had killed Muzan Kibutsuji, the Progenitor of Demons...
He could truly be called the great benefactor of himself and Lady Tamayo.
Thus, Yushiro's attitude toward Lexon could be described as exceptionally friendly now.
