Chapter 365: Biochemical Research Institute and Medical Academy!
While the Demon Slayer World was undergoing drastic changes and about to usher in its first true world war, the people and Demon from the Demon Slayer World who chose to settle in the Sea Star World were also experiencing their own lives.
Drum Kingdom.
This place was still as snowy as ever, with cold winds howling, continuous Snow Mountain, and thick snow accumulation.
Of course.
The eight Drum Mountain Peak, each reaching five thousand meters high, were the most spectacular sight.
However, compared to the past, the Island seemed much livelier. The small Town that was originally at the foot of the Mountain Peak had now expanded to the size of a City due to continuous Expansion.
There were more Building, wider Street, and Men, Women, Old and Young coming and going, dressed in thick Winter Clothes.
Originally, let alone a Port, this place didn't even have a decent Dock. Even the King had to use a long Wooden Board laid out on the southern shallow beach to board or disembark from a Ship.
But now, there was a Professional Port capable of accommodating dozens of large and small Ship, and a flat road running through the Town directly to the Main Peak of Drum Mountain.
Hundreds of Lapahn, which looked like White Bear but had long ears, were seen holding brooms, occasionally sweeping the snow off the road.
Mixed among them were some small Lapahn diligently helping with small brooms.
If a passing girl or Child came over curiously, they weren't fierce at all. Instead, they allowed the person to touch their ears or fur.
These Lapahn were originally terrifying Wild Beast that lived by eating Meat on the Island.
But during the few months Zephyr was receiving Medical Treatment for Asthma at the Medical Academy, they were pulled out every day by the Cadet from the special training camp to spar.
After training, they would receive some Meat as a reward. Over time, the Lapahn got used to not hunting and living entirely on Human feeding.
The only downside was getting beaten up once or twice a day...
Later, when Zephyr's Asthma was cured, the special training camp naturally withdrew. It is said they would visit here once a year. With the help of the Construction Department, these Lapahn reached a Cooperation agreement with Drum Kingdom.
As long as they could ensure smooth Transportation on the main road, Drum Kingdom would provide Meat.
If they were injured, there would also be Doctor to help with Medical Treatment.
As for the foreign Tourist arriving by Ship, they were basically all coming for the newly built World Hospital.
Drum Kingdom's reputation as a Great Medical Nation was already well-known in the Grand Line, and now with the World Government's Medical Academy endorsing it, it had directly become the World's Medicine center.
Any Difficult Illness or severely ill Patient that could not be treated in their own countries would be sent here.
Crucially.
In recent days, the performance of the World Hospital and Medical Academy had been truly astonishing.
Kureha, Crocus, and Naiqin led an Elite team composed of local Drum Kingdom Doctor and Doctor from Various Places in the Four Seas. So far, they had not encountered a Case File where treatment failed.
Recently, Tamayo and Shinobu Kocho, two Traditional Chinese Medicine Doctor from the Demon Slayer World, joined them, greatly strengthening the influence of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the Medical Academy.
Oh, right.
Actually, Marco also held a part-time Position as a Doctor at the Medical Academy, but because he was also an Air Force Vice Admiral, he generally didn't come here.
He was more like a Military Doctor accompanying Combat operations.
[Thump thump thump!]
In the Dean's Office on the top floor of the Medical Academy, following several knocks on the door, Kamado Tanjiro walked in with his sister Nezuko Kamado.
Tanjiro had now been assigned to Dragon's Ministry of Police Affairs along with Kyojuro Rengoku and others. However, because Nezuko Kamado needed to receive Medical Treatment here, he had not gone to the Sabaody Archipelago to report.
"Miss Tamayo?"
Tanjiro showed a look of surprise upon seeing Tamayo sitting on the Sofa, which displeased Yushiro, who was standing behind the Sofa.
"Eh?"
At this moment, Tanjiro's nose twitched, and he looked at Tamayo with surprise and doubt.
Miss Tamayo's Appearance was still so beautiful. Her long black hair was parted at the forehead and styled into a large, low bun.
Her pale purple Gaze was so gentle, and her rosy lips, combined with the deep purple Kimono she wore, exuded the aura of an Eastern beauty.
"Hey! That's enough! Put away your filthy Gaze!"
Yushiro couldn't help himself and, despite Dean Kureha being present, shouted at Tanjiro, which caused Nezuko Kamado, who was biting on a Small Bamboo Tube, to glare angrily.
"Ah, no... that's not it!"
Tanjiro quickly waved his hands in Explanation, saying, "I just noticed that Miss Tamayo and... Mr. Yushiro's Scent has changed. That faint Demon Energy is completely gone!"
Tamayo smiled and said, "Indeed, it couldn't be hidden from Tanjiro's nose. Yes, Yushiro and I are no longer Demon."
After receiving a large amount of Muzan's Blood provided by the World Government, she had spent hundreds of years Researching a Prescription that could turn Demon back into Human. She finally completed it four days ago and voluntarily became one of the first Experiment subjects.
"What?"
Tanjiro was greatly surprised, but immediately became ecstatic and grabbed his sister's hand, shouting, "Then can Nezuko Kamado also turn back into a Human?"
"So noisy, Otherworld brat!"
Suddenly, Dean Kureha, sitting behind the Office, threw the Pen in her hand at Tanjiro's Head and said angrily, "Sit down quietly and talk!"
"Ah, yes, yes, I'm very sorry, Dean Lord!"
Tanjiro covered his aching Head but wasn't angry. He sat down opposite the Office Desk with Nezuko Kamado, a Nervousness Expression on his face.
"In short, that's the Matter. Doctor Tamayo's 'Demon Slayer Prescription' can indeed turn Demon back into Human, so next, you need to make a Decision..."
"No need to consider! Please help Nezuko Kamado turn back into a Human immediately!" Tanjiro said urgently.
[Bang!]
Kureha slammed the desktop in displeasure and warned, "If you dare to interrupt my Speaking again, I'll throw you out the Window!"
"Uh, sorry, sorry, please continue!"
Tanjiro was truly terrified of this Medical Academy Dean now. Her temper was simply too explosive, completely unlike a Doctor with high Medical Skill.
"I received an Opinion from the Biochemical Research Institute. They Hope Nezuko Kamado can maintain her Demon Physique."
"As you know, Nezuko Kamado is the only Demon who is naturally unaffected by Muzan Kibutsuji's Bloodline Control and Sunlight. She can function normally without drinking Human Blood, and her Blood Demon Art also has a purifying Superpower Effect. Her Value is very high."
"This Value will make her important to the Biochemical Research Institute, and even the entire World Government. However, they also stated they will do their best to help her regain normal Consciousness."
After listening to Kureha's words, Tanjiro looked into Nezuko Kamado's eyes and was silent for a moment, then turned to look at the former.
"Dean Lord, if I refuse this Opinion, will you still turn Nezuko Kamado back into a Human?"
Kureha's mouth curved up. She was starting to like this little brat.
"Of course. The Biochemical Research Institute can't order this old woman's Medical Academy around. Their Opinion is just an Opinion. If you've made your Decision, you can follow Doctor Tamayo to treat your sister now!"
Thirty minutes later.
The Biochemical Research Institute, located on the 5.5th Floor of Impel Down, received a reply from the Medical Academy, and this reply made Dr. Fritz frown.
"Did Dean Kureha not understand Nezuko Kamado's Value at all?"
"Fortunately, we still have two tubes of Blood that Cipher Pol helped us get before, but we'll have to be more frugal with them from now on. After all, they're gone now, sigh—"
At this moment, Caesar walked into the Office, bringing his peculiar laughter with him.
"Shurorororororo~~"
"Teacher, that Muzan is begging us for some freedom. He just wants to be able to move around within Impel Down. He's willing to obey all our Order..."
