The Journey Of Revenge

Chapter 13

One week had passed ever since Tanjirou got scolded by Shinobu for his stupid actions. Since then, Tanjirou stopped using breathings so his lung could get better. Makomo also started giving him instructions so he wouldn't make mistakes again.

During the week, Tanjirou started doing some activities in the morning like running, working out, pulling two huge rocks, and running in the wooden fence of the estate.

He also attends the Recovery Training every afternoon. Zenitsu and Inosuke are joining him this time. They seem motivated by Tanjirou's dedication to become one step stronger. The two accompanied him to his daily activities during morning, afternoon, and dawn.

In one day, the only rest they got is during night time. Makomo was instructing them professionally since she doesn't want to be a reason if they make a blunder. She said she'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong, but as of now, she's doing pretty well at handling their activities.

She also watched over them during Recovery Training, pointing out their blunders and giving them tips while they go against Kanao.

Zenitsu was more than happy to be her instructor, as she is also part of the reason why he's giving his all and trying harder. Makomo finds him weird and was always creeped out by him, but she doesn't drives him away.

Although the three hadn't yet made any progress so far, Kanao could be seen by Makomo that she's putting more effort than in the last time. Especially when she's against Tanjirou.

Zenitsu and Inosuke aside, Makomo noticed that Tanjirou was pretty quick to adapt and a fast learner.

And that's when Makomo knew what she had to do next.

"Inosuke-san, Zenitsu-kun, and Tanjirou. I'll give you these gourd and you'll blow on it with all you got. You must break it just by blowing into it."

The three took a gourd for each of them, while looking at it with a flabbergasted face. Tanjirou tried to flick the gourd and the sound it produced seemed like he was hitting a metal pipe.

Zenitsu immediately went wide eyes at the sound and looked at Makomo with an exaggerated face.

"You expect us to break this with our air alone?!"

Makomo was not the slightest bit reactive to his sudden outburst, and spoke, "That's right, and this is just a first step. Honestly, I don't expect too much since it's just the first week, but... I want to see if you've at least increased your lung power."

She doesn't look at them with her usual smiling and kind face, so even Inosuke could tell not to argue with her. If they did, she'll just pierce their soul with her sharp words.

Regardless of their complaints, since she was their instructor, they must comply with her. Tanjirou had no complaints from the very beginning since he was already looking forward to breaking this gourd.

"All right. You can start now."

Inosuke threw his boar mask on the floor, and the three of them started blowing through the gourd. They were blowing at it as if their lives depended on it, but Zenitsu was already lost for air and wasn't able to break or crack it.

Inosuke on the other hand lasts for a few more seconds than Zenitsu, before completely failing in the task. The two of them fell on the ground and crawled towards the porch while begging for air.

Tanjirou was already trying hard to breathe out all of the air he had on his lungs, but he also failed at breaking it. He took the gourd away from his mouth and started panting heavily.

"I see. Well, that's good, I guess. Your lung capacity has definitely increased. Just do the same activities for another week and you'll be able to break this one. I'll be the one to say whether you're ready to blow one gourd again, or not. So don't go blowing into it everyday. Understand, Inosuke?"
