A quick bonus.

-------------------------------------

"Do I really have to stay in bed? My legs are fine." A demon slayer with a broken arm complained.

"Your arm will heal faster if you rest for now, two days and you'll be free to walk around."

"Come on, just let me-!"

"Is everything okay here?" The demon slayer flinched and straightened as he heard Inosuke's voice from the door of the room.

Aoi turned towards the door before answering.

"Yes, everything is fine." And then back to her patient.

"Alright then." The Hashibira said, slowly moving away from the door keeping his face visible for as long as possible and, when that wasn't possible, taking off his mask, holding it with one hand so that it would remain visible for a second longer.

"So, as I was saying, if you wait for two days you'll be free to walk around."

"O-ok." He answered meekly.

From the corner of the door, invisible to the two occupants, Inosuke smirked and walked away.

--------------------------------------------

Like I said, just a quick bonus but I felt weird by having it as the end of the chapter so I decided to post it here instead.

Until next time!
