Butterfly Mansion Rehabilitation

Miyuki's POV

Two weeks later, at the Butterfly Mansion, Zenitsu sat on his bed while Inosuke lay on his. Tanjirou prepared to go out.

"Isn't it about time you came to training, Inosuke? Zenitsu?" Tanjirou called out.

The boar-masked man looked away, huffing. "Sulking won't do you any good," I sat on his bed, trying to get through to him.

Tanjirou approached Zenitsu, who looked out the window thoughtfully. "Zenitsu, you should come, too!" Tanjirou encouraged.

Zenitsu stood up, placing his hands on his hips. "Hmm! Yes. For me, that was a good job!" He then grinned mischievously. 

"Just tell them my injury's taken a turn for the worse!" With that, he darted off to flirt with one of the nurses. We gave up on convincing them as they had given up on training as it was difficult nit to say painful.

Out in the courtyard, Tanjirou practiced his breathing exercises. I headed to the training hall, ready to finish my training after a week of joining.

"Only Miyuki-Sama is here?" Aoi asked as I entered. "The others are warming up," I explained, and she sighed dissapointed.

"Let's start," Aoi clapped her hands. I lay on the mattress as Kiyo, Naho, and Sumi grabbed my arms and legs.

"We'll start with stretching to help your body relax," Aoi instructed. They stretched me out thoroughly, and my eyes couldn't help but tear up from the intensity.

"Next!" Aoi clapped her hands again.

We moved to the next station involving reflex training. Kanao Tsuyuri was on a table with cups of medicated water, the goal being to throw them onto their opponent before they could retaliate.

"Ready?" Kanao asked softly.

"Bring it on!" I replied with a grin.

The water splashed everywhere as we tried to outmaneuver each other, but I managed to stay dry.

"Good job!" Kanao said, impressed.

Finally, we reached the last station: full-body training. It was a game of tag involving Aoi and Kanao.

"Think you can catch us, Miyuki-Sama?" Aoi teased. "Watch me!" I scoffed, diving into the game After a playful session, I succeeded in completing all the tasks. 

"How  did you do it so quickly?" Aoi asked looking at me, breathless. "Trust me." I wiped the sweat from my forehead and smiled. "It was easier than taking stomach-aching  poison." I said with a strained smile.

"Impressive," Aoi admitted, clapping her hands again. "If only those rebels watched something and learnt something from you."

The next day, I watched over Tanjirou as he trained alone, while the others continued to mope around. 

Outside in the courtyard, Tanjirou attempted Total Concentration Breathing, but he couldn't quite manage it. His body ached all over, and every muscle seemed to be protesting in agony. 

As he trained, the three girls, Naho, Kiyo, and Sumi, approached us, "Kanao was able to blow on a gourd until it broke!" they told him excitedly, practically bouncing in place.

Tanjirou's eyes widened in disbelief. "The largest gourd is as big as you three combined!" he exclaimed, gesturing wildly as if he couldn't believe his ears.

Fifteen days passed, and Tanjiro seemed  stronger. Determined to push himself even further, he approached the three girls, Naho, Kiyo, and Sumi, with a bold request.
