Chapter 241 Where else do you want to demolish?
After encouraging Tanjiro, Yuuko found Shinobu Kocho and informed her before heading out to Tamayo's laboratory.
With Tanjiro around, she doesn't need to worry about Giyu's affairs.
……
When Yushiro arrived at Tamayo's laboratory, he noticed that she looked a little unwell, probably because of what she had said last time.
"Sorry to bother you." Yuko didn't mind, knocked on the door and entered the laboratory after receiving Tamayo's permission.
"What are you busy with?" Yuko paused for a moment, then saw Tamayo sitting at a table in the laboratory, sipping tea.
Tamayo turned to her and smiled slightly: "No, everything that needed to be done has been done."
"That's it..."
"Please sit down." Tamayo gestured to the seat in front of her, poured tea, and pushed it across to the other side.
"Thank you." Yu Zi sat down, took a small sip, and asked, "Is there something you need from me?"
Tamayo put down her teacup and nodded gently: "Yes, it's about your blood."
"The final battle is imminent. Start storing your blood now and use recovery drugs during combat to minimize casualties among the Demon Slayer Corps."
Yu Ziwei was taken aback: "Of course, shall we start now?"
The idea of using her blood as a recovery potion in the final battle had been on her mind ever since she learned of its power.
Even after they re-established contact with the Demon Slayer Corps, Ikuko wanted to do just that.
Although she is just one person, as long as there is enough food, the demon's blood can continue to regenerate indefinitely.
Don't worry about needing to rest for a period of time after a blood draw, like normal people do.
However, Tamayo stopped it at the time.
If Muzan notices this ability too early, it might cause unnecessary trouble.
Yuko herself probably didn't expect it, but Tamayo felt that Yuko's ability was even stranger than overcoming sunlight.
The ability to heal human injuries.
This ability isn't entirely useless to ghosts, but it's practically useless.
But Yuko was born with this ability.
Tamayo lowered her eyelids slightly: "If you're okay, although you'll have enough energy, you'll probably be weak for a few days."
"It's okay." Yu Zi shook her head.
Tanjiro is going to Giyu's place to cause trouble these next few days, and his special training has only just begun, so waiting a few more days won't be a problem.
Tamayo nodded and called Yushiro, who was outside the door, in, "Get the things ready."
"I understand, Lady Tamayo." Yushiro carried the syringes for drawing blood and several boxes of test tubes for storing blood to the lab table.
He glanced at Yu Zi, a hint of schadenfreude flashing in his eyes.
Looking at the huge pile of test tube boxes on the table, Yu Zi's lips twitched slightly.
Well, she's starting to feel dizzy.
Tamayo got up, prepared the syringe, and turned to look at Ikuko: "Is it ready?"
Yu Zi nodded reluctantly, moved a chair to the lab table, placed her hands on the table, and turned her head away, unable to bear looking at it.
Tamayo smiled and said, "Don't worry, you won't be exhausted this time."
After she finished speaking, Yushiro took out boxes of blood from the refrigerator and placed them beside her.
Yu Zi's eyelids twitched; she had already figured out the next steps.
It's roughly like this: blood draw - blood drink - blood draw - blood drink...
The perpetual motion machine is complete.
Such.
……
Yuko drank the blood in the test tube in one gulp, the blood moistening her lips, but it couldn't hide her pale lips.
"Isn't that enough?" Yuko's eyes seemed to have a faint layer of dark circles.
Even with blood replenishment, she was almost completely drained.
Blood is something that ghosts can't eat as a proper meal; it's only good for barely filling their stomachs.
They get hungry after just a little movement, let alone when they need to constantly regenerate blood.
“The Demon Slayer Corps has hundreds of swordsmen, and I want to at least ensure that each of them has one.” Tamayo said intently as she drew blood from Ikuko’s arm.
If Yuko didn't have that powerful regenerative ability, her arm would probably be covered with needle marks by now.
Yu Zi almost fainted when she heard that. Hundreds of sticks?
How many cigarettes did you smoke just now?
Perhaps because too much blood was drawn, Yu Zi felt dizzy and decided to stop thinking about it and close her eyes to rest.
She wouldn't call herself a saint, but she would never refuse to do something within her power.
She only needs to endure a little weakness and discomfort to potentially save a life.
This kind of business is a sure thing and you can't lose money.
The temperature in the laboratory seemed to have dropped considerably. Despite it being a sweltering day, Tamayo exhaled a puff of white breath and stiffly bent her fingers.
Yuko's blood was colder than she had imagined.
Although the blood had not clotted, a thin layer of ice had already formed on the surface of the test tube.
Tamayo glanced at the number of test tubes and then buried herself in drawing blood.
……
After an unknown amount of time, Yu Zi was fast asleep, half asleep.
"Ikuko, Ikuko? Wake up..."
"Hmm?" Yuko opened her eyes groggily, looked around, and realized that Yushiro was no longer there. "Was I asleep?"
Tamayo's smile came into view: "Hmm, I almost couldn't wake you up."
Yuko rubbed her temples, a sharp pain shooting through her head: "I feel like I'm about to die."
Tamayo asked with concern, "Are you feeling hungry?"
“…” After a moment of silence, Yu Zi rolled her eyes. “I didn’t feel anything at all when you didn’t ask.”
Tamayo smiled and handed her a blood test tube.
Ikuko was stunned.
"Do you feel better?"
"It seems so."
……
"No, it seems to be of no use at all." Yu Zi wiped her face with difficulty.
I'm still very hungry, and my brain feels terrible.
It's like not sleeping for many days in a row, and your brain feels like it's being torn apart.
Tamayo said softly, "Even a demon would feel uncomfortable with this level of blood consumption and regeneration."
Yuko shook her head: "It's okay, I can bear it."
Yes, Tamayo has a positive view of Ikuko's patience.
After all, they can endure not eating for two hundred years.
Even if there were special circumstances related to her physical condition, she still found it absurd.
It's absolutely impossible without an iron will.
Tamayo suddenly changed the subject: "Ikuko, there's actually another reason I called you over."
"..." After a moment of silence, Yu Zi looked down at her body. "What else do you want to remove?"
She's thinking about it.
Tamayo patted the back of her hand, both amused and exasperated: "It's related to your physical condition."
"?"
Tamayo didn't explain, but instead asked inexplicably, "Yuko, you want to continue staying by Shinobu's side, don't you?"
Yuko was momentarily confused by her sudden change of scenery: "What do you mean?"
“If Muzan is killed, the demons born from her will also disappear.” Tamayo put her hand to her heart: “You are different from me and Yushiro. We have modified our bodies. Even if Muzan dies, we probably won’t disappear.”
Yuko was stunned for a moment: "You mean, I will die along with Muzan when he disappears?"
Tamayo's eyelids drooped slightly: "I can't rule out that possibility."
