In a short while, she looked up at everyone, especially Amane Ubuyashiki, whose calm expression concealed a hint of expectation in her eyes.
She said, "This idea is worth a try."
"At least it won't get any worse, right?"
"Then I'll trouble Young Miss Tamayo and..." Amane Ubuyashiki showed a hint of joy, her gaze sweeping over everyone.
Mizuki interrupted her: "Don't talk about thanking me or not. If he dies, who will command the fight against Muzan?"
Amane Ubuyashiki smiled faintly, saying no more.
Mizuki clapped her hands: "Then without further ado, let's administer an anesthetic first."
"Cough cough..." Ubuyashiki Kagaya coughed twice, weakly saying, "Aren't you going to ask for my opinion?"
"You can give your opinion once you can stand up again." Mizuki glanced back at him, saying indifferently, "If you lie there like that, people will say I'm bullying you."
"Cough cough cough..." Ubuyashiki Kagaya coughed even more violently.
What? If he could stand up, would he be able to defeat her, or what?
Amane Ubuyashiki watched her husband seemingly being tormented quite badly, opening her mouth as if to speak but then hesitating.
Tamayo smiled subtly: "Let's try with an arm first and see if regeneration can be achieved with your blood."
"There shouldn't be any problem with that." Kochou Shinobu spoke up, "We already tried it on the Master just now."
"We didn't peel off the skin and flesh just now; it's safer to be thorough."
Adhering to a professional approach, they decided to first remove one of Ubuyashiki Kagaya's arms to test it.
Although Mizuki's blood meant that even if the experimental environment was a bit poor, it wouldn't matter, adhering to professional principles, everyone still moved Ubuyashiki Kagaya to the operating room.
"This is my first time entering an operating room as an assistant. Are there any rules I need to follow?" Mizuki looked around curiously, reaching for white gloves, "Like wearing white gloves or something?"
Tamayo slapped her paw away, snatched the unscathed white gloves, and said indifferently, "No need, whatever makes you happy."
Mizuki clicked her tongue in annoyance and sullenly withdrew her hand.
"Don't beg me when it's time to draw my blood later."
Tamayo ignored her, putting on the white gloves to herself: "It doesn't matter, then just watch him die."
Ubuyashiki Kagaya: "..."
He was only under local anesthesia, not general anesthesia.
His mouth was just a bit numb, but his ears could hear!!!
...Forget it, let's just pretend he didn't hear it.
Kochou Shinobu's mouth twisted into an awkward, half-smile.
Theoretically, she shouldn't be smiling, but she really couldn't help it.
These two were too interesting.
Seeing Mizuki and Young Miss Tamayo communicate so naturally and playfully, Kochou Shinobu inexplicably felt a bit envious.
However, on second thought, Tamayo must not have seen Mizuki's cute side either.
Mhm mhm.
She didn't even know that Mizuki could change sizes.
Kochou Shinobu had already run through the entire scenario in her mind, completely disregarding the fact that her Master was being insulted.
Tamayo meticulously dissected the flesh from Ubuyashiki Kagaya's arm, her sharp scalpel cutting away pieces of putrid, decaying flesh that exuded a foul odor, even the blood within appearing a dark color.
Tamayo's brows furrowed deeper. She had seen many difficult and complex diseases over hundreds of years, but this peculiar curse was a first for her.
"Let's try it." Tamayo first used a scalpel to make a seemingly severe external wound on Ubuyashiki Kagaya's arm.
Putrid, foul-smelling blood flowed out like stagnant water from a gutter.
Mizuki quickly manipulated her blood threads to go up and repair it.
Tamayo was not surprised to see these crimson threads, as she had also discovered the changes in Mizuki's blood when she was researching it.
As soon as Mizuki's blood touched the putrid, decaying blood on Ubuyashiki Kagaya's arm, it rapidly spread and covered it, suppressing it, and the flesh on the arm quickly regenerated.
Unlike the decaying purple blotches, the regenerated flesh was the same flesh color as a normal person.
Soon, that area of flesh on Ubuyashiki Kagaya's arm completely returned to a healthy, flesh-colored state.
Kochou Shinobu showed delight: "It's effective."
As the head of the Demon Slayer Corps, Ubuyashiki Kagaya had bestowed much grace upon both ordinary swordsmen and the Pillars alike.
No swordsman didn't wish for him to regain his health.
Tamayo observed for a few minutes, waiting for no changes to occur in the arm.
"Prepare the anesthetic."
Indeed, Mizuki's blood could delay the Ubuyashiki curse... This procedure would require removing most of Ubuyashiki Kagaya's damaged flesh from his body. However, since precision wasn't an issue and it was under general anesthesia, even if too much was accidentally cut, he wouldn't feel pain, and Mizuki's blood would completely restore it once applied.
Tamayo would remove a portion of the rotten flesh, then have Mizuki quickly replenish it with blood.
Otherwise, by the time they treated a bleeding person, they would probably have bled out and become a dried corpse.
Aside from being a bit too bloody and unsuitable for children to watch, the surgery progressed very smoothly.
By the time the last bit of superficial tissue was repaired, the sky had unknowingly changed from afternoon to early morning.
Mizuki looked at Ubuyashiki Kagaya, whose body had returned to a normal flesh color, and couldn't help but sigh: "If people knew the use of my blood, would I be captured for experiments?"
Tamayo and Kochou Shinobu were slightly startled, casting strange glances at her in unison.
"...Why are you looking at me?" Mizuki reacted a beat late, and only after blinking did she realize.
She seemed to have already been experimented on... Mizuki's face darkened, and she promptly shut her mouth.
Kochou Shinobu observed Ubuyashiki Kagaya's superficial condition: "Currently, he looks no different from an ordinary person, but the curse beneath the deep skin and flesh has already penetrated into his bones."
Tamayo added: "Fortunately, with Mizuki, the Ubuyashiki Clan's short-life curse has been half-solved in a way."
Mizuki raised an eyebrow: "What kind of solution is this?"
"If you supply blood, he won't be so short-lived, at least."
"…"
Forget it, she couldn't take another round.
As if hearing Mizuki's inner thoughts, Tamayo casually picked up the plate filled with putrid, decaying flesh cut from Ubuyashiki Kagaya's body and offered it to Mizuki.
"If you're hungry, eat it."
Mizuki's face darkened: "I think this delicious thing would be better left for you."
Spare her, she was already on the verge of throwing up just from the smell.
It proved that even demons couldn't stand this stuff.
Compared to eating this, she thought being hungry might be more comfortable.
Anyone who has played with pets knows that you only need to tease them a little; there's no need to constantly trick them.
Otherwise, they might not grow fond of you.
Tamayo took back the plate and said to Kochou Shinobu: "Push him out."
"He should be able to run and jump once he wakes up. If you're worried, he can rest for two days."
Kochou Shinobu smiled faintly: "Then he should rest for two days."
