[Seiji's POV]
(1 month later)
I went to the Flower Mansion to take a break and to have a medical check-up. While going on missions, I never sustained an injury other than occasional overexertion or muscle fatigue, so this medical check-up was for my general health than anything.
Other than my high blood pressure, there was nothing wrong with my health. Though Kanae told me to get more sleep as I was going through puberty.
Speaking of puberty, it was finally in full force and what can I say except, it was weird as fuck.
The most noteworthy change in my body was regarding my dick. Yes, you heard that right, my dick. What was noteworthy exactly you ask? Well...
My dick was ginormous.
I think.
At least it was the biggest it had ever been in both of my lives. I thought it wouldn't be that big, maybe even smaller than in my past life, because Japanese or Asians in general were not known to have huge cocks. At least that's what I've heard.
But I was genuinely surprised. I wouldn't share the exact measurement because that's only for my future wife to know but know that your boy was blessed in this regard.
I personally thought it was really cool.
Another thing worth mentioning was my explosion in height. I was 5'5 feet less than a year ago but today, I stood proudly at 5'9 feet. I was already taller than most people here.
My eyes allowed me to follow the changes in my body in detail so although I couldn't hear it, my voice got deeper along with the growth of my larynx.
But much to my dismay, I have been having no luck in growing my hair. I couldn't grow a moustache for the life of me so my dream of having a small beard like a goatee seemed to be moving further and further away.
Yet I was only close to 15, so I still had hope.
My growth also came with an increase in strength. With the right diet and careful/scientific exercise with the help of my eyes, I was growing the perfect muscles.
And I think that's where the positive ends. Puberty was a first for me even including my past life but everything went well. It was messy in many regards, wet dreams are a pain, hormone imbalance was a bitch and acne made me want to cut my face.
But all in all, I was managing nicely.
I just couldn't wait to grow my hair.
I spent nearly a week in the Flower Mansion and this time, Shinobu was sadly not around most of the time.
I just spent the days helping Kanae and constantly refusing her proposal for a spar and teaching me Flower Breathing.
Please Kanae, I respect you.

I finally mastered Wind Breathing as much as I could. Like I said before, Wind Breathing was similar to Thunder Breathing in the sense that they were opposite to my fighting style so mastering it took a while.
During this month, I finally had the privilege of visiting the Swordsmith village. I was blindfolded and guided - not carried - by a female scout from the Demon Slayer Corp.
For the record, the blindfold did absolutely nothing as I used my eyes to see through it. Therefore, I knew exactly where the Swordsmith Village was located.
Travelling took a day through terrible terrains and places not accessible to normal humans but in the end, we reached the place without a problem.
The Swordsmith village was located between tall mountains which were all somehow surrounded by Wisteria trees but in a way that did not make it obvious. There were also heavy guards starting from about 10 kilometres away from the village.
It was located near a lake from which the villagers fish and access water.
When I came into the village, I immediately visited my old man Hatori and he was extremely glad to see me. He immediately asked me if I had come to retrieve the katana I gave him but I laughed and told him no.
Hatori repaired any flaws in my Odachi and praised me for my ability to maintain the sword. He welcomed me as a guest and we finally had time to have proper conversations during this time.
At one point, I brought up my idea of having a bow and arrow and we went on a long discussion about it. How would a bow and arrow help me?
At first, it might seem like a completely ridiculous proposal since demons required beheading to kill them fully. But with the poison Shinobu was developing, it would be more than possible to kill a demon with an arrow.
But still, the cons might outweigh the pros.
The only thing I knew was I definitely could kill weaker demons from kilometres away without having to run to them one after another. It can also be helpful when dealing with demons who have the ability to escape by teleporting a certain distance, like Gyyoko upper moon five.
Also, there were times when I failed to reach demons before they killed civilians. In those times, I wish I could have some form of projectile attack.
I spent a total of three days in the Swordsmith village. I used the time to rest and enjoy the hot springs. I also picked up some smithing skills with my absolutely broken eyes.
My eyes were helpful in making swords as well and I could see the best metals and also find out parts that contain impurities and adjust wrong alignments.
All in all, my visit to the Swordsmith village was productive and the time was well spent.

A Hashira meeting was called again and everyone else attended like usual except for Shinjuro. The reasons for his absence were unknown but the other Hashrias were clearly upset.
But the meeting commenced like usual. It started with a statistical report where it was said that we lost a total of only 12 members of the Demon Slayer Corps.
Ubuyashiki thanked us and said it was all of our hard work that his children were safe. I and the others could not help but feel a sense of pride. We had much to improve upon but it was great knowing that we were making progress.
They also released the performance of the Hashiras again with me being the one with the most completed missions and Gyomei having the most kill counts this time. Suffice it to say, Sanemi was pissed that he was not on top.
There was also a sharing among the Hashiras again about their encounters as they reported things that they thought were important. I usually remained silent during this time because I still lacked the insight they had.
Killing demons and completing missions were what I was good at. Strategic thinking and proposing ideas to improve the organisation as a whole were things I was really not good at. You can't be good at everything I guess.
One interesting thing discussed during the meeting was the end of 'Demon Tribes'.
Yeah, the year when demons got together into different groups as a new survival strategy to counter the emergence of multiple Hashiras was called the year of demonic tribes.
And it has finally come to an end. The demons realized that working together was not helping them, instead, it allowed us to slay them easier as they gathered in one place. So they stopped.
The sighting of demons in groups plummeted and we decided to allow more individual missions to the lower ranks again.
Also, another lower moon had fallen at the might of Gyomei, the Stone Hashria. Ubuyashiki expressed his gratitude to the strongest Demon Slayer.
With all of those and some more, the meeting came to an end.
