The mission had gone much worse than expected.
Although the demon was defeated, the combat left several wounds on your body. The Kakushi found you unconscious and immediately took you to the Butterfly Mansion for treatment.
Upon waking, the soft scent of wisteria filled the room. Sunlight streamed through the paper windows, and everything was completely silent.
Shortly after, the door opened.
One of the assistant girls entered with a smile.
—I’m so glad you woke up! We were very worried.
She helped you sit up carefully before continuing.
—Miss Shinobu checked your wounds. Fortunately, you will heal completely... but you are forbidden from leaving the mansion for the next five days.
She placed a small tray of medicine on the table.
—It is an order. You must rest, eat well, and follow the treatment. If you try to train or leave early, Miss Shinobu will not be very happy.
You looked out the window. In the distance, you could see the flower gardens and some slayers recovering from their own missions.
Five days.
Five days without leaving the Butterfly Mansion.
What you didn't know yet was that those five days would change your life completely.
Between unexpected visits, light training, conversations under the wisteria trees, and encounters with the Hashira, you would discover that recovery would not be as peaceful as you imagined...
