Mizuki asked, "Is that young man's throat injured?"
Kochou Shinobu had already learned about everyone's condition and nodded, "Yes, that young man's throat and vocal cords are bruised. He won't be able to speak for a short while."
Mizuki: "..."
Is it really Daijoubu for him to keep muttering like that?
However, it looks like an external injury.
Mizuki walked towards Inosuke's bed. The young man wore a Pig Head mask, his head bowed, hiding his neck completely, so she couldn't see its condition.
Mizuki lifted the quilt. Inosuke, who was muttering to himself and in a state of self-isolation, didn't react.
When Mizuki reached for his mask, Hashibiria Inosuke finally came back to his senses.
"What do you want to do?!" His voice was low and hoarse as he struggled to get up.
Mizuki said softly, "Let me check the wound on your neck."
Kochou Shinobu realized that if it was an external injury like this, Mizuki's Blood Demon Art could indeed be very useful.
Earlier, to activate the Demon Slayer Mark, the injuries she sustained during her battle with Mizuki weren't treated; instead, Mizuki just applied a little blood, and she recovered completely.
Because of this, Kochou Shinobu was touched for quite some time.
Despite being a demon, her Blood Demon Art was a power to save people.
How could this not be Mizuki's kindness?
Hashibiria Inosuke twisted restlessly, "My injury, you don't need to bother with my injury."
"Be quiet..."
Before Mizuki could finish, Inosuke shivered, his voice abruptly stopped, and he turned to look to the side.
Zenitsu Agatsuma, at some point, was emanating a resentful aura, biting a pillow, and glaring at him with a distorted face.
He was also muttering chilling words, "Damn Inosuke, how dare you play hard to get with such a beauty? Go commit seppuku..."
This guy... is so scary.
Hashibiria Inosuke couldn't help but get goosebumps.
Seeing Inosuke no longer resisting, Mizuki gently removed his mask.
Kochou Shinobu exclaimed in surprise, "Ara, he's unexpectedly handsome."
Even when this child was carried back on a stretcher, he still clutched his mask tightly during treatment, refusing to let anyone remove it. This was the first time she had seen his face.
Mizuki nodded slightly, "Yes, a cute girl."
Hashibiria Inosuke instantly broke down, shouting, "What?! What nonsense are you spouting, woman!"
"this great lord is a true man!"
But because his vocal cords were damaged, he couldn't shout with the same arrogant voice as Sanemi Shinazugawa.
However, these two should get along very well.
"Just don't move." Mizuki ignored his shouting and reached out to untie the gauze on his neck.
Blood had seeped through the gauze, and medicine was applied externally to his throat, but it hadn't healed yet, and the wound looked somewhat gruesome.
Fortunately, it only looked scary and was not as deep as Kanae's throat wound when she was slashed. Even without using Blood Demon Art for treatment, he wouldn't be bedridden for several months.
"Damn Inosuke~" Zenitsu Agatsuma squirmed on the bed, full of resentment.
How dare he treat a beauty's gentle care so roughly.
Just as Tanjirou watched them idly, curious about how Mizuki would treat Inosuke, Mizuki's fingernail grazed her fingertip, breaking open a small cut on her pale finger, and she smeared it over Inosuke's neck.
Inosuke shivered all over and shouted with full vigor, "So cold!"
Tanjirou's eyes widened instantly, his heart trembling.
Is it Miss Mizuki's Blood Demon Art?
The ability to heal people's injuries.
Despite being a demon, why could she awaken such an ability?
Since he met Mizuki, he hadn't seen her use her Blood Demon Art ability.
"Very energetic." Mizuki withdrew her hand with satisfaction.
"…" Hashibiria Inosuke stared blankly at Mizuki, then belatedly touched his neck, "It doesn't hurt anymore?"
Inosuke laughed twice, then suddenly jumped up from the bed, "this great lord is fully revived!"
As soon as his voice fell, his body suddenly stiffened and he fell straight down.
"It hurts so much!!!"
A scream echoed through the ward.
Kochou Shinobu's forehead was beaded with sweat, and she said speechlessly, "Although your neck injury is healed, your body injuries haven't fully recovered yet. Don't move around carelessly."
Mizuki's mouth twitched. Forget it, let this idiot learn his lesson.
Mizuki looked up at Tanjirou, "Tanjirou, is your body alright?"
Tanjirou was still in surprise, but he came back to his senses and flexed his biceps, "Yes, my injuries aren't serious. I just need some rest and I'll be fine."
Mizuki nodded, and suddenly a squirming sound came from behind her.
"That..."
"Hm?" Mizuki turned back in confusion, seeing Zenitsu Agatsuma squirming, his head bowed, looking a bit embarrassed.
Zenitsu Agatsuma stammered, "That older sister, I actually have very serious injuries too..."
Mizuki's eyelid twitched. Of course, she knew what this guy was thinking; his mind was practically overflowing with lewd thoughts, almost showing on his face.
However, as a member of the original protagonists, no matter how strange their personalities were, they wouldn't be truly evil.
At most, they had the intention but not the guts.
Mizuki walked towards him, "Where does it hurt? Let me see."
"Everywhere hurts~" Zenitsu Agatsuma's face had just broken into a suspicious smile when his gaze suddenly caught Kochou Shinobu behind Mizuki.
Kochou Shinobu had a cold and terrifying expression on her face.
"Eeek!" Zenitsu Agatsuma trembled all over and let out a demonic shriek.
So scary! Her voice is so scary!
"Hm?" Mizuki turned back in confusion, following his gaze.
Kochou Shinobu smiled gently, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing..."
Without thinking too much, Mizuki approached Zenitsu Agatsuma and looked at him with a slight puzzlement.
This child doesn't seem to be injured.
She rolled up Zenitsu Agatsuma's sleeve but found no obvious injuries, so she simply activated Transparent World to see through to the core.
Isn't he... not injured?
Though something felt a little off.
This guy actually dared to lie.
Mizuki's face was covered in black lines. She abruptly put down Zenitsu Agatsuma's hand and stood up.
"Ah, wait!" Zenitsu Agatsuma reached out in great sorrow, but his arms were too short, so he could only watch Mizuki leave with tears in his eyes.
"Hm?" At this moment, Mizuki finally noticed something unusual through his slightly oversized clothes.
Kochou Shinobu looked at Zenitsu Agatsuma with a cold expression and explained, "This guy was hit by a Blood Demon Art and almost turned into a spider, so his limbs became short."
Although Kochou Shinobu wasn't present, there were physicians among the members of the Logistics and Covert Operations Unit who temporarily inhibited the spread of the poison.
Mizuki suddenly understood. No wonder she felt something was off just now.
Meeting Kochou Shinobu's cold gaze, Zenitsu Agatsuma trembled all over. He seemed to have accidentally offended the doctor just now; he was doomed.
Mizuki helplessly suggested, "I can't do anything about this. Drink more medicine and get more sun."
Although demon Blood Demon Arts cannot be used during the day, the effects caused by Blood Demon Arts seem to have fewer restrictions.
And Mizuki's Blood Demon Art is most effective for external injuries; she can't do anything about this strange Blood Demon Art.
