  Chapter 61: Lianzhu's Little Troubles

  In the early morning, when the sunlight shone into the Butterfly House through the window lattice, Lin Yi's office welcomed the first visitor.

  This visitor was not one of the pillars who were often on the front lines of battle as Lin Yi expected, but rather the Love Pillar Kanroji Mitsuri.

  Mitsuri Kanroji pushed open the office door in a manner that could almost be described as graceful.

  She leaned forward slightly, and looked around with her pink eyes, as if to confirm whether they were the only two people in this private space.

  After confirming that there was no one else present, Mitsuri Kanroji breathed a sigh of relief, revealing the subtle fluctuations in her heart.

  Seeing how cautious Ganlu Temple Mitsuri was, Lin Yi couldn't help but smile and asked, "Miss Ganlu Temple, judging from your appearance, you didn't come here because you were feeling unwell, did you?"

  As a responsible doctor, Lin Yi habitually used his ability to detect diseases.

  In his perception, Mitsuri Kanroji's physical condition was as fresh and energetic as the morning dew, and there was no sign of needing treatment at all.

  Mitsuri Kanroji's physical talents are truly astonishing.

  Her muscle density is eight times higher than that of ordinary humans, which is simply a staggering number.

  Such a talent not only gave Mitsuri Kanroji absolute power, but also made her body almost indestructible.

  If an ordinary person rushed towards Mitsuri Kanroji wielding a sharp knife, the blade would probably not even be able to cut through her muscle fibers.

  Her body was like a piece of steel that had been tempered a thousand times, hard and flexible enough to withstand most external damage.

  In the Demon Slayer Corps, an organization whose mission is to seek revenge and eliminate demons, the existence of Mitsuri Kanroji is undoubtedly a unique landscape.

  Unlike other team members, she joined the team not for revenge, but out of the original intention of finding love and happiness.

  Therefore, Mitsuri Kanroji named herself "Koibashira".

  "Well...it's like this, Mr. Lin." Mitsuri Kanroji's voice was a little hesitant. She bit her lower lip lightly, as if she was organizing her words, trying to express her demands more clearly.

  Lin Yi raised his head and looked at her with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

  He noticed that Mitsuri Kanroji looked a little unnatural, as if she had something difficult to say.

  Mitsuri Kanroji took a deep breath and finally mustered up the courage to ask her question: "I...I want to ask you for a favor. Can you find a way to weaken my power?" Her voice became smaller and smaller, and finally turned into a murmur.

  Hearing this unexpected request, Lin Yi couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

  Mitsuri Ganlu Temple seemed to have sensed Lin Yi's doubts. She lowered her head, a faint blush appearing on her face.

  She knew her request might be a little strange, but she did have her own reasons.

  Kanroji Mitsuri sighed softly and continued, "I know this may sound a little strange, but my power is really too great. Sometimes... sometimes I can't control myself and cause some unnecessary trouble."

  Mitsuri Kanroji lowered her eyes slightly, and with a barely perceptible tremor in her voice, she began to recount her past experiences.

  "Before I joined the Demon Slayer Corps, my life was... not going well."

  She paused, as if recalling those unpleasant past events, "Because my body is different from that of ordinary people, I am incredibly strong and my appetite is also amazing, so I always fail in blind dates."

  Her voice got lower and lower, as if those painful memories were still deeply engraved in her heart. "Those blind dates, after seeing me wolf down my food or showing off my strength a little, they would look at me like I was a monster and leave without looking back."

  This experience was undoubtedly a huge blow to Mitsuri Kanroji. She cried silently in the middle of the night countless times, feeling as if she had been abandoned by the world.

  Even after joining the Demon Slayer Corps, she did not dare to fully unleash her power.  

  "I'm afraid that my power will hurt others, and I'm also afraid that I'll stand out and be out of tune with everyone." Kanroji Mitsuri continued, "So, on weekdays, I always carefully control my power and only dare to use a small part."

  Her words were full of helplessness and longing. She longed to live like a normal person and to have a true relationship, but the reality always made her feel powerless and frustrated.

  After listening to Mitsuri Ganlu Temple's story, Lin Yi fell into a brief silence.

  He frowned slightly, as if trying to understand the inner conflict and distress of this lady of the Love Pillar.

  Finally, he spoke, with a hint of confusion in his tone: "Miss Ganlu Temple, why do you have such an idea? Your physical talent is what countless people dream of. This kind of power is out of reach for others. Why would you want to give it up?"

  Lin Yi's words revealed his incomprehension of Ganlu Temple Mitsuri's request.

  In his opinion, possessing such a strong physical talent should be something to be proud of and cherish.

  Mitsuri Ganlu Temple sighed softly. She knew that Lin Yi might not be able to understand her feelings.

  But she still tried to explain: "Mr. Lin, you may not understand. Although this power is strong, it also brings me a lot of trouble. I don't want to hurt others because of my power, and I don't want to be isolated and excluded because of it. I just want to live an ordinary life and have a sincere relationship. For me, this is true happiness."

  After confessing the secret that was buried deep in her heart, Mitsuri Kanroji clearly felt that the burden on her heart was lightened a lot.

  Her clear eyes revealed an indescribable sense of relief and ease.

  Lin Yi stood up and said, "Come out with me."

  When Mitsuri Kanroji heard this, her eyes suddenly sparkled with a bright light.

  She followed Lin Yi closely and walked out of the butterfly house.

  "I already understand your current situation. I'll teach you a few moves. You can learn them slowly first. Once you've learned them, I can solve your problem."

  Lin Yi stood in the bright sunshine, his figure seemed to blend into the surrounding environment, appearing so natural and harmonious.

  He slowly began to perform several common stances, and each movement was precise and precise without the slightest deviation.

  The body shape rises and falls with the changes in movements, revealing a unique aura.

  Mitsuri Ganlu Temple stood aside, her eyes fixed on Lin Yi, afraid of missing any details.

  She followed Lin Yi's instructions and tried hard to imitate each stance.

  Although it was a little awkward and difficult at first, she did not let it discourage her.

  As time went by, Mitsuri Kanroji gradually mastered the essentials of these stances.

  Her movements became more and more smooth and natural, as if they were exactly the same as Lin Yi's.

  She could clearly feel the power in her body gradually becoming controllable.

  "Stand for an hour first and feel your body carefully. Over time, you will gain more control over your body."

  Mitsuri Kanroji closed her eyes, took a deep breath of the fresh air, and began to carefully sense her body.

  From the top of the head to the toes, she focused on every part of the body in turn, feeling the tense and relaxation of the muscles, and the flow and circulation of the blood.
