Her research and expertise in medicine are truly extraordinary!
"In that case, thank you very much, Miss Tamayo." Ryosuke said solemnly.
"It should."
Tamayo gently shook her head, her eyes warm and gentle.
"Mr. Ryosuke's strength has increased so rapidly that he has taken on heavy responsibilities and is at the forefront of the battle against the demons."
"My strength is meager, so I can only devote all my efforts to drug research."
Chapter 56 Married women are good, married women are wonderful, married women know how to care for people!
Zhu Shi turned around, bent over the desk, spread out the papers, picked up the pen, and immersed herself in the deduction and adjustment of the prescription.
The names, dosages, and contraindications of various medicinal herbs raced through her mind. Her slender fingers would occasionally pause, deep in thought, before continuing to write fluently.
Although Yushiro was unwilling, he still obediently went to the side to help out.
A short while later, even snoring filled the room.
Yushiro was furious and turned around abruptly.
Ryosuke was lying there sprawled out, fast asleep without a care in the world!
"Lord Tamayo! Look at this guy!"
Yushiro pointed at Ryosuke, his fingertips trembling with anger.
"We've been working all night to meet his demands, and he just fell asleep! It's...it's unforgivable!"
Tamayo looked up and saw Ryosuke's unguarded sleeping face with a very slight curve at the corner of his lips.
"Hmm...you've reminded me."
She gently put down her pen and stood up.
Yushiro thought that Lady Tamayo was finally going to have a fit, and was secretly looking forward to it, but he saw her walk to the wooden cabinet next to her and take out a blanket from it.
Under Yushiro's piercing gaze, Tamayo slowly walked to Ryosuke's side, covered him with the blanket, and even carefully tucked in the corners to prevent it from slipping off.
Yushiro: (メ`?)/︵┻━┻
Yushiro wanted to flip the table!
He felt his rationality crumbling, a bitter mix of jealousy and anger rushing to his head!
Tamayo walked back to the desk, couldn't help but smile, and explained softly.
"Alright, Mr. Ryosuke knows nothing about pharmacology, so he won't be of any help here. Rather than letting him sit here bored, it's better to let him rest and recover his energy. Besides..."
She paused, her tone extremely gentle.
“He is human, not a ghost like you or me. He needs sleep, and he must be exhausted from days of fighting.”
Yushiro opened his mouth, but could only swallow back all his complaints and jealousy.
He continued pounding the medicine reluctantly, but his movements were several times rougher than before, as if he were treating the mortar and pestle as Ryosuke's head.
This night was a race against time for Tamayo and Yushiro to conduct research and adjustments.
For Ryosuke, it was a rare, deep, and dreamless sleep.
Just as dawn broke outside, Ryosuke's biological clock woke him up precisely on time.
He opened his eyes and found a thin blanket covering him.
Ryosuke paused slightly and looked up.
Zhu Shi was still sitting at her desk, rubbing her forehead, looking slightly tired, with piles of papers filled with formulas and names of medicinal herbs beside her.
Yushiro leaned against the wall and closed his eyes for a short rest.
Ryosuke picked up the blanket and went over.
Almost simultaneously, Tamayo looked up and handed the prescription to Ryosuke.
"Mr. Ryosuke, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. This is the improved prescription."
"The core Lower Moon blood has been replaced with several other medicinal materials, which has weakened the effect considerably. It can suppress demons below the Lower Moon level for about one minute, but the advantage is that it can be mass-produced."
Liangjie took the prescription.
The handwriting was neat and the steps were detailed, with the proportions, processing methods, and cooking temperatures of various medicinal materials clearly marked.
"Thank you for your hard work, Ms. Tamayo."
Ryosuke expressed his heartfelt gratitude.
Once the Butterfly House is built, the value of this prescription will be immeasurable.
Tamayo gently shook her head, indicating that there was no need to be so polite.
She took out another vial of medicine and handed it to Ryosuke: "This is a sample dose made according to the new prescription."
Liangjie examined it closely.
The color of this potion is much lighter than the original Illusion.
Suddenly, Ryosuke thought of a question and asked it curiously.
"To determine the exact efficacy and duration of this new drug, shouldn't we need to conduct trials?"
"It's natural."
Zhu Shi nodded: "Any new drug must undergo repeated verification to ensure its effectiveness and stability before it can be put into use."
Ryosuke was taken aback.
Does this mean... this new version of the illusion has already been tested on the ghost?
Tamayo used it for herself?
Ryosuke suddenly understood and silently turned his gaze to Yushiro.
Yushiro opened his eyes, his face as black as charcoal, his eyes filled with such resentment that he seemed ready to devour Ryosuke alive!
So our turtle is our official guinea pig!
Ryosuke, recalling how Yushiro was tormented to the point of near ecstasy by various unfinished medicines, couldn't hold back for a moment.
"Ryosuke Yasui! What are you laughing at!"
Yushiro exploded!
This kid not only made him and Lord Tamayo work overtime.
And now you dare to laugh at him!
Without me testing the drug, would you have been able to obtain the Illusion?!
"No, it's nothing..."
Ryosuke suppressed a laugh and waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "I remembered something happy."
"You guy!"
Yushiro was furious, but when he saw the look Tamayo was giving him, he immediately fell silent and behaved himself.
Ryosuke carefully put away the medicine and prescription, and bowed to Tamayo.
"Miss Tamayo, I am deeply grateful. This prescription and your hard work will save the lives of countless Demon Slayer Corps members."
Tamayo bowed slightly in return: "Mr. Ryosuke, you flatter me. It's all for our common goal."
"In addition, there is one more thing."
After a moment's thought, Ryosuke continued, "If I were to obtain the blood of an Upper Moon demon, I'm afraid I would have to trouble you to put in a lot of effort to research it."
Upon hearing this, Tamayo gently shook her head, not out of rejection, but out of concern.
She slowly stepped forward and walked up to Ryosuke.
Tamayo's height only reached Ryosuke's chest, and when she looked up, her eyes were as gentle as water.
She reached out and gently straightened Ryosuke's slightly disheveled haori collar with a slow and meticulous movement, displaying the gentle grace of an elder sister.
Yushiro, standing to the side, cracked open again!
His jealous resentment could feed ten evil sword immortals!
Tamayo ignored him, blinked at Ryosuke, and whispered.
"The strength of the Upper Moons is worlds apart from that of the Lower Moons, and the concentration of blood that Muzan gave them is beyond imagination."
“Mr. Ryosuke, there’s no need to rush this matter. With your rate of growth, I believe it’s only a matter of time before you kill the Upper Moon.”
"Please prioritize your own safety before proceeding."
Feeling the gentle tidying motions and hearing the sincere words of advice, Ryosuke felt a warmth in his heart.
Married women are good, married women are wonderful, married women know how to take care of their husbands!
Look at this meticulous care, these comforting words!
He's many times stronger than those battle maniacs in the Demon Slayer Corps who only know "flashyness," "fighting," and "getting stronger"!
Those guys just shove their Nichirin Blades into their hands and shout, "Come train!" or "Come slay demons!"
"I understand."
Ryosuke suppressed his inner grumbling and nodded earnestly: "I will keep your advice in mind. Please take good care of yourselves."
Suddenly, Ryosuke changed the subject, recalling the incident from last night.
"By the way, when Yushiro and I arrived, we encountered a demon who had already sensed that you were hiding in the Stone Castle."
"Although I have dealt with it, it is hard to guarantee that Muzan may have learned about it through his memories."
Chapter 57 I'll show you what it means to be haunted by nightmares!
Zhu Shi nodded, indicating that she understood.
"Yushiro reported to me last night. Please rest assured, we will be moving soon. Although it will be troublesome, it is necessary for safety."
