Butterfly Mansion

Butterfly Mansion

"Where am I?"

Tanjiro slowly opened my eyes and was greeted by a bright light. Then I find myself staring at the wooden ceiling. The smell of disinfectant is filling up the room. It is obvious that he's in Butterfly Mansion after the fight.

"Ouch!" Tanjiro winces in pain as he tried to get up. 

He didn't know why but every time he gets into a fight, he would bound to find himself bedridden here. He tried to move, but it's painful. So he refrain himself from doing so. He could see that he's being bandaged all over like a mummy except for his face.

"How long has it been since I've been admitted here?" Tanjiro looked left and right. Nobody is in his sight. From the windows, Tanjiro could tell it's afternoon. He wonder how many days has passed since the fight.

*Kreak*

The door lever was twisted and the door was opened slowly. It was a Kakushi who wears all black and white with a black head covering that conceals their identity. They work as attendants to the Demon Slayers that worked the odd jobs. They also worked as a cleanup crew at the field work.

"Ah, Tanjiro! You're awake?" The Kakushi greeted Tanjiro after seeing that he's finally awake. Tanjiro recognizes the Kakushi. It's Goto. The Kakushi who tried to woke him up back in the Hashira meeting and the one who brought castella to him. Goto had previously taken care of Tanjiro back when Tanjiro's injured after the incident at the Red-Light District.

"Goto-san!" Even while in pain, Tanjiro forces himself to smile.

"Wait a second. Let me call the doctor." Goto immediately dashed as fast as he could, finding a doctor that's responsible for treating Tanjiro.

*Swish!*

"He's pretty fast" Tanjiro had never expected Goto could run that fast. It's the first time that Tanjiro had seen him run.

"Doctor! He's awake!" Kakushi shouted, calling for the doctor. Out of a sudden, he could feel a shiver running through his spine. Using his Observation Haki, he could tell that it's telling him to run away. Something evil.......is coming right at him.

He could smell a scent of irritation, annoyance and a tiny bit of anger. The presence of that man is overbearing and scary. Tanjiro could sense that death is slowly creeping up his room. Then, he enters the room. 

"Well, well, well. Look who has been skipping the training session?" Law lets out a devilish grin on his face. He is really irritated that Tanjiro had disappeared without telling him anything. Honestly, Tanjiro forgot to inform Law beforehand that he's going to the Swordsmith Village.

"Law-san! I'm sorry that I didn't inform you before! I forgot to tell you that! I apologize!" Tanjiro sincerely apologizes for not informing Law first. Tanjiro's scared. He knew that Law won't hold back during their training.

"I'll let it slide for now since you're bedridden. After all, you've been sleeping for five days." It's been five days since the incident back at Swordsmith Village. 

"Goto, get some meds." Law instructed Goto to go and get some painkillers and other medicine which Goto immediately did without any question. Law and the others have a title of honorary Hashira, so they must be treated like one and have the power to instruct those who are lower than them. 

"Ah, right! What happened to the demon?" If Tanjiro remembered correctly, he landed the final blow to the demon's neck before succumbing to the his injuries accumulated throughout the night. 

"It died. End of the story. To be honest, it is miracle how you could still move and chase after the demon when you were already on door's death." Law is a bit impressed by the boy's vitality and will to keep on going. Tanjiro had few broken ribs, punctured organs, burst eardrums, busted kneecaps and few more injuries that is life threatening.
