: Rehabilitation Training, Part 2
"Tanjiro, it's not that hard…" netsu reassured
Tanjiro was on the ground, crying, since total concentration breathing was painful.
He tried crawling onto the mansion floor, but was interrupted by him putting his hand on his ears, and making a face.
"THAT WAS TERRIFYING! FOR A SECOND I THOUGHT MY HEART WAS GONNA COME OUT MY EARS!" he yelled.
"Okay...you're in no condition to do that...when in trouble, go back to the beginning!" netsu said.
She helped Tanjiro up.
"Breathing begins with the lungs. If your lungs are bad, you can't do anything."
"So...what should i do?"
"I dunno...i recommend running while holding your breath!"
"I'll give it my all! That's all i've been able to do, try my best!!" Tanjiro smiled.
"Heck yeah!! Hard work builds every day! Little by little is just fine. Just keep moving forward! Now lemme hear your victory scream!!" netsu yelled
Netsu jumped down and screamed.
Tanjiro did the same.
…
"Blow into these gourds?" tanjiro and hoshi asked
"Yep! When shinobu was training kanao and shizen, she often made them blow into these gourds...netsu joined in sometimes too."
"That's interesting training! Does it make a sound?" hoshi asked
"No you're supposed to burst the gourd" kiyo,the girl with her hair out, said
"Oh!"
"…"
"…"
"…"
"Pardon-"
"Wait...burst? This?"
"Uh-huh! And these are special gourds, even harder than the normal ones!" kiyo smiled
That's it
It's the end of me…
"And as the training went on, the gourds got bigger. Right now kanao and shizen are working on this gourd!" they pointed to a gourd taller than Hoshi's little sister.
"Where are the gourds for the gourds" kage joked
"I thought you stopped coming to training…"
"I did! I just wanna see you suffer."
He sipped some lemonade.
…
Snore
WHACK
WHAM
FWAK
The group awakened to the sound of tanjiro getting hit by blanket beaters.
"What is he doing?" zenitsu muttered
"I dunno-" taiyo said
…
"HOSHI-SAN!! I DID IT!!"
Hoshi turned around to see Tanjiro waving a piece of broken clay in his hand.
"You did what?"
"I BROKE THE GOURD!"
"Ah! Cool! You're improving a lot tanjiro...if only i could improve quickly…"
"I'm sure you can break the gourd soon!" Tanjiro smiled.

Holy crap, I'm actually catching up to kanao!
I still can't do total concentration breathing a whole lot, but the longer i'm able to keep it up, the more my physical fitness improves.
My body has changed!
I want to fight demons again!
With my nichirin blade!
"Oh-"
Hoshi had grabbed kanao's arm.
"Hey! I did it!!"
…
Reflex training
"Woah…"
"It's like their hands disappeared…"
Netsu and kanao were battling out in the reflex training, trying to put a cup on top of one another's head
Come on….
I can do this…
I'M A RENGOKU!!
"HAAAAAAA"
Netsu finally splashed kanao's face with the medicine.
She stopped.
"I'M SO SORRY! PLEASE FORGIVE ME!" she cried.
Kanao got a towel, and smiled at netsu.
Meanwhile, the boys watched from the doorway
