Kaigaku and Zenitsu

chapter 21

After that night Zenitsu had a bit of trouble training his total concentration breathing and he needed help he could ask his Aniki but he was in the middle of his long sleeps so he guess he has to ask one of the butterfly girls.

"Um excuse me Kanao" he said, she looked at him smiling, "would you mind helping me with my total concentration breathing?" He asked and she nodded, "Okay so while I'm sleeping, if I ever you know stop, would you" Zenitsu took a breath before saying it "beat me with these carpet beaters?" He said, Kanao took one and smiled while nodding.

At night

Zenitsu was asleep trying his best to do the total concentration breathing, but.

*snores*

Kanao then wacked him with the carpet beater which instantly made him wake up in pain, "thanks for the help Kanao" he groaned in pain, "one more time?" He asked and she nodded.

Zenitsu laid down and quickly did his his total concentration breathing and fell asleep.

*snores*

"Agh!" He said as Kanao beaten him with the carpet beaters, "I guess I should be lucky for asking help from Kanao then Aoi, she would've loved beating me like this" he thought, "one more time?" He asked and Kanao nodded.

It went like this throughout the night and it looks like Tanjiro was also getting help from the other butterfly girls, but now all they need is Inosuke to stop laying around and actually train.

"So it just you two again?" Aoi asked and Tanjiro bowed, "I'm sorry, I tried asking Inouske but" Aoi interuppted "well it doesn't matter to me" she said crossing her arms, "I'll try asking Inosuke later" he said.

And they begun training Tanjiro was climbing a rope while he did a lot of push ups with one of the butterfly girls on his back while also maintains total concentration breathing.

"Come on I have to master this!" Zenitsu thought as he just did his 600th push up, then him and Tanjiro moved to grabbing ropes and pulling rocks up which was really hard.

They then moved to running around the estate while maintaining total concentration breathing, they did this till daybreak.

The next day they were for sure ready to go against Kanao.

Tanjiro went up against her and they immediately went to it while him and the girls were cheering for Tanjiro, he could tell by all the gasping that Kanao was surprised and Tanjiro's improvements.

"Come on Tanjiro" Zenitsu said in his mind, Tanjiro finally almost had her reaching out to grabbing her hand but Kanao moved her hand up and quickly stopped while Tanjiro couldn't as he face planted and rolled back onto his back.

"Ouch ouch ouch" Tanjiro said as Zenitsu quickly moved to help him, "that was great Tanjiro!" He said, "thank you Zenitsu" Tanjiro said as he quickly sat up.

While they were chatting Kanao was looking at her hand.

Zenitsu then went up against Kanao, Zenitsu tried his best but she was super fast as he tried to grab her multiple times but all were dodged he almost had her by the cape but she was quick to move and was able to dodge that.

By daybreak both Zenitsu and Tanjiro bowed, "thank you for helping us train!" Tanjiro said and the butterfly girls nodded.

When Zenitsu and Tanjiro turned around they saw Inosuke who was peering in, and Zenitsu felt a pang of pride and decide to gloat at Inosuke.

Well let's say Inosuke wasn't happy because after they exited the training room Inosuke made it his goal to tackle Zenitsu and wrestle him.

The next day
