"Hello, I am the village chief here. Nice to meet you."

"I am the shortest person in this village, but also the highest-ranking. Tianyi, what are you doing here?"

Tian nodded.

"My knife is worn out, so I came here specifically to find Haganezuka."

"Your sword, Shinobu, has never broken it."

"Even though she's no longer a demon slayer, she practiced every day before she got pregnant?"

The village chief nodded. "Ying's whereabouts are currently unknown, and we don't know where he went."

Is that so?

Tianyi fell into thought, realizing he seemed to have forgotten that Steel Tomb was currently in seclusion for cultivation.

"Don't worry, we've sent people to look for it. Please bear with us."

"firefly?"

This seems to be his real name.

“That’s right, Hotaru Steelzuka.”

Tian nodded.

"That child has always been like that since he was little, always throwing tantrums and then running away. I'm so sorry."

Tianyi shook his head. "No, don't say that. I feel pretty good. His knife is very durable."

"Maybe it's because Tanjiro broke his sword? After all, this is his third broken sword. Don't you guys cherish your swords?"

The village chief shook his head. "No, no, it's the child's fault. He made a knife that can break."

"I also instructed him to finish your knife."

Tianyi was unable to refute it.

The man behind him spoke up, "Once we find him, we will bring him back. Please rest assured."

Tianyi stared blankly at the scene. "Isn't this too violent? Why don't you try to talk some sense into it?"

Shinobu Kocho nodded as well.

The village chief looked over and asked, "How many months pregnant is Miss Shinobu?"

Shinobu's face turned slightly red. "Four months."

The village chief nodded. "You'd better not go to the hot springs here, as it might not be good for the children."

Shinobu Kocho nodded.

"I heard from the lord that you were also seriously injured in that battle. It seems you have recovered and are you able to go ghost hunting now?"

Tianyi nodded. "Indeed, my body has improved a lot, so killing ghosts shouldn't be a problem."

"If he hasn't returned by then, I'll repair your knife. After all, we can't take up too much of your time."

"Thank you, village chief."

"Tianyi, remember to go soak in the hot springs. They are very helpful for treating a weak body. You should rest and recuperate here."

Tenichi and Shinobu walked out of the house.

"I will now lead the way for you two."

"Thank you."

Shinobu turned to look at Tenichi, who also looked at her with a hint of confusion.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Shinobu Kocho shook her head. "I just hope they don't fight. It's not good for anyone."

Tianyi touched her head, but she slapped it away.

"I told you not to touch it, it will stunt your growth, but you still touched it."

Tianyi could only withdraw his hand, then looked at his wife's height of 1.5 meters, and covered his mouth to chuckle.

"Do you have a problem with my height, Tianyi?"

Tian nodded unconsciously.

The two bickered and teased each other on the road, with Ten repeatedly giving in to Shinobu, while he was constantly being beaten up.

Along the way, Tianyi saw many swordsmiths diligently hammering steel.

“In this village, there are forging factories and workshops everywhere, and everyone’s knives are made in this way.”

"They work really hard, but they should get more rest."

The young man shook his head. "If they rest for too long, they will feel bad, so the people in the village work very hard, forging iron almost all day long."

"Usually it's two people, one is responsible for forging and the other for grinding, although sometimes the two of them will forge together."

Tianyi nodded and the three of them continued walking forward.

"Let me take you to your rooms first, that way it won't be too much trouble. Also, if you keep going up through that grove of trees, you'll reach the hot springs."

"Thank you."

The young man shook his head. "This is what we should do. You ghost hunters are the ones in the most danger, constantly teetering on the brink of life and death. What we're doing is insignificant."

"The hot springs here have various effects, from cuts and burns to hemorrhoids, anal fissures, constipation, and pain from heartbreak to pain. They are effective for any ailment, so please enjoy them tonight."

The three arrived at a house, and the young man skillfully opened the door and left.

Tenichi and Shinobu walked in. The room was very clean, and Tenichi just collapsed on the ground.

Then he got up again, took out a quilt and blanket from the wardrobe, and spread them on the floor.

Shinobu Kocho sat quietly on the quilt.

"Give me a hug, my wife."

Tenichi leaned his whole body on Shinobu's shoulder.

"It smells nice."

Tianyi took two more deep breaths, looking like a pervert.

Shinobu Kocho watched this scene helplessly.

"Didn't you say you were going to soak in a hot spring? Why aren't you going?"

"I don't want to leave my wife's side even for a moment."

Shinobu Kocho watched silently.

"Hurry up and go. Don't you realize you haven't showered for days and you're covered in sweat?"

"If you don't go to wash, you're not sleeping with me tonight."

Tianyi sighed and walked out alone.

He ran at an extremely fast speed, running alone up the mountain.

He took off his clothes and jumped straight into the hot spring, then grabbed a towel and put it on his forehead.

He leaned against a rock to rest; he had to get back quickly, or his wife would go hungry.

"master."

When Tenichi opened his eyes, he saw Shinazugawa Genya.

"Oh, it's Genya! Are you here for a hot spring too?"

Genmi nodded.

"Master, where did you go this afternoon? I couldn't find you anywhere."

"We went to see the village chief to get the knife repaired, but we found that my swordsmith wasn't there. It might take a few days."

Genmi nodded.

"How are you doing over there?"

"They've started making bullets for me, and it should be ready by tomorrow."

Tianyi closed his eyes to rest again.

"You were injured on your last mission, so soak in the hot springs for a while longer. The hot springs here are very good and will help your health."

Xuanmi nodded vigorously.

Half an hour later

Tianyi stood up, put on his bathrobe and shoes, and walked down the mountain alone.

"I'm leaving now. Remember to go back early, or you'll get oxygen deprivation if you soak in the water for too long."

Genmi nodded, and then started soaking again.

After Tian came down the mountain, he found that he seemed to be lost.

"It seems I've forgotten how to get there again. Why am I so unlucky?"

Is there anyone kind enough to give me directions?

Tianyi could only complain silently.

Just then, Tianyi smelled a delicious aroma and quickly followed the scent to find the dining area.

Tianyi ate more than a dozen bowls by himself, and then took three more bowls back with him.

"I am back."

When Tianyi opened the door, he saw Kocho Shinobu looking bored. When she saw Tianyi bring back food, her eyes lit up.

"You're finally back! I'm starving."

Shinobu Kocho said, touching her already protruding belly.

"But I still feel quite fat. Have you been secretly eating something behind my back?"

Shinobu Kocho chuckled.

"I didn't eat anything random. My stomach is naturally this big, okay?"

Tianyi shook his head. "My wife used to be very thin, how come she's gotten so fat now? She must be secretly eating something delicious behind my back."

"Okay, okay, I'm not kidding anymore. I'm carrying your baby in my belly. Your baby is hungry and needs to eat."

Tenichi fed Shinobu Kocho little by little.

After finishing her meal, Shinobu's eyelids started to droop; she had been very sleepy ever since she became pregnant.

Tianyi picked her up and carried her to the bed, gently placing her inside, and then slipped inside himself as well.

Before going to sleep, Tianyi was still protecting Kocho Shinobu, afraid that he might accidentally disturb her stomach.
