Electric shocks can determine the current passing through the human body by adjusting the voltage.
But Silva's whip has no gauge at all.
When he lashes out, the force used and whether he employs "Nen" is an unknown factor.
"As long as he's happy." Roy's tone was somewhat helpless.
They are all stubborn people, and none will bow to the other; this is the Zoldyck Family, a household full of obstinate individuals.
Wutong was never one to meddle; he could only do his best to support the young master, ensuring he wouldn't worry about trivial matters and lose focus.
"Dong..." The wooden clock in the corner struck, reminding Roy there was less than an hour until bedtime.
Wutong assisted Roy with his herbal bath and took his change of clothes out of the bedroom, then turned to close the door when Roy called him;
"Two matters..."
"First, schedule some renowned specialists in tuberculosis for me..."
"Second, search for some records on 'Conjuration' Nen users, especially those who have used 'Anti-Conjuration' methods... I want to consult them about something..."
Roy hadn't forgotten Tanjuro's illness; the first solution that came to mind was...
"By using Anti-Conjuration methods, send pharmaceutical drugs from the real world into the Demon Slayer world."
He reached out to touch the Sun Earrings, but his hand found nothing...
Then he remembered he hadn't "Entered the Dream" yet, nor had he developed a method to manifest items from the cognitive world into the real world.
"The first matter is easy." Wutong stroked his chin in thought for a moment, then replied, "The respiratory department at the capital hospital of the Republic of Padokea is highly renowned; as long as you are willing to spend money, you can get skilled specialists."
"As for searching the information on 'Conjuration' Nen users...."
Wutong spread his hands helplessly: "Young master, you know I don't have the authority to access intelligence agencies."
Roy understood the Zoldyck Family has its intelligence agency...
Neither Wutong, Roy, nor Illumi could activate any intelligence personnel without Silva's authorization, let alone search for related 'Conjuration' Nen user data.
"Understood." Roy didn't make it difficult for Wutong, asked him to close the door properly, and then flung himself onto the soft bed.
At this point, there were still nearly two years until Tanjuro's passing, neither too long nor too short, and there'd always be a way.
If worst comes to worst, Roy hadn't ruled out the idea of participating in the "Hunter Exam" after entirely mastering "Sun Breathing" and learning some basic "Nen" Applied Techniques.
Once he passes the "Hunter Exam" and obtains a "Hunter's License," he could log into the Hunter Association's intranet and leverage the association's power to search for renowned "Conjuration" Nen users.
By then, some of the problems could be solved smoothly.
"Shaa sha..." The night wind lifted a corner of the curtain, revealing Yubashiri placed on the sword rack.
The moonlight filtered through the clean glass, casting onto Roy's face...
The young man laid his hands over his abdomen and peacefully closed his eyes.
The familiar sensation of falling enveloped him...
Through the brightly colored passageway, he once again arrived at his Sea of Cognition.
Roy walked barefoot into the sea, allowing the waves to wet his trouser legs, gazing into the distance, trying to clear his mind. After a minute, he reached out and pushed open the door to the Demon Slayer.
"Niisan~"
The north wind was howling.....
Tanjiro, who had just dashed out of the shrine to take a leak, shivered as he entered wrapped in a blanket. As he passed the campfire, he gave Roy a gentle push.
Compared to Roy, who could sleep soundly until dawn, Tanjiro, with dark circles under his eyes, looked at him in admiration, amazed that even after experiencing so much the previous night, he could still sleep so soundly... it's conceivable that his older brother was born with a big heart.
"There's a bag under the hoe; inside are some dumplings. Take some out and roast them to eat."
While the fire hadn't died out, Roy stepped outside, grabbed a handful of snow, washed his face simply, and when he returned, he pulled out a water bottle from his bosom and opened the cap.
Seeing this, Tanjiro couldn't help but come over, roasting dumplings and sitting next to Roy, just to get a sip of "Sense."
The curiosity that killed the cat is a concept that the silly Mamen Beans obviously didn't understand, and Roy couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him, so he opened more Acupoints, injecting more "Nen" into the water bottle.
White steam rose... Minamino Guangzhi emerged halfway from the bottle, bowing to Roy.
Seeing his other half in a smoke-like state clinging to the bottle, Tanjiro curiously approached: "Uncle, are you okay?"
But then...
He received a smack from Roy's Hand Blade, pitifully clutching his head as he scurried to the side.
"Please excuse my clumsy brother." Roy apologized to Minamino Guangzhi with a smile: "Uncle, if you have nothing else, let's eat the dumplings and then head out."
Minamino Guangzhi, with a cordial smile, looked at Tanjiro, the little guy's pitiful appearance resembling his darling daughter, except older, perhaps even a master of coquettishness.
Shaking his head immediately, he said: "How dare I trouble Lord Eiichiro Oda, but if you're interested, there's a small matter I could use your help with."
Minamino Guangzhi continued warmly...
"When that Evil Ghost was chasing me, it flung my basket aside."
"If it's not too much trouble, Lord Eiichiro Oda, you could try to find it."
"Inside are gifts I bought for my family and some Silver Coins."
"At that time, all the Silver Coins are yours, as repayment for your revenge and kindness in helping my family...."
"That's simple." Roy glared at Tanjiro: "Did you hear that? On the way down the mountain, sniff carefully."
Tanjiro nodded and peeled a few dumplings to eat with Roy. Shortly after, he left the shrine with a basket on his back, finding Minamino Guangzhi's basket beneath a pine tree.
Scattered inside were cloth, hobby horses, and documents, while the snow nearby still revealed a glimpse of small treats, partially hidden by the snow.
"These are definitely my belongings; the cloth is for making clothes for my wife and mother. The hobby horse and snacks are for my daughter. The documents carry my name, and as for the remaining Silver Coins, Lord Eiichiro Oda, feel free to take them."
Roy pried out a Copper Coin from the snow and put it in his pocket, handing the rest back to Tanjiro to pack and then placed them back into Minamino Guangzhi's basket.
Minamino Guangzhi paused, opened his mouth to speak.
Instead, Roy grabbed hold of his basket without turning back, heading straight for Sagiri yama.....
"In this age, a man is truly the pillar of his family."
"You won't have to worry about things, but your whole family still needs to eat, right?"
"Leaving more Silver Coins will help them get by...."
"Indeed, uncle, leave more money for your daughter to buy candy." Tanjiro followed behind, poking his head out to give Minamino Guangzhi a little smile.
Minamino Guangzhi sighed deeply, bowing respectfully to the end.
He's uncertain whether he's lucky or unfortunate, only feeling a warm sensation in his heart, making him more nostalgic for this world than ever before.
Until...
Reached the foot of Sagiri yama and saw a distant village.
Hearing a familiar child's voice, the feeling was particularly intense...
"Mommy, when will Daddy come back?"
