The limit of the Breath of the Forest's recovery ability still needed to be tested. Ryuji hadn't been injured yet, so he hadn't had the chance to test it.
Ryuji certainly wasn't going to foolishly injure himself for the sake of experimentation.
Ryuji then found a relatively flat and open area to rest.
Zenitsu, afraid of the dark, gathered some branches nearby and built a small fire.
As soon as Zenitsu sat down by the fire, his stomach rumbled.
Hearing this, Ryuji knew Zenitsu was hungry. Ryuji and Tanjiro both offered Zenitsu their dried fish.
Ryuji looked at Tanjiro and said, "Tanjiro, let Zenitsu have mine. Yours probably isn't enough for him."
Tanjiro put his dried fish away.
At noon, Tanjiro had witnessed Zenitsu's appetite. He had eaten the equivalent of Tanjiro's entire day's rations.
Ryuji had much more dried fish than Tanjiro, because he ate less. This was due to the Breath of the Forest.
In addition to accelerating physical recovery, the Breath of the Forest could keep the metabolism of all body cells at a very low level.
In short, it was like putting a phone in energy-saving mode.
In energy-saving mode, Ryuji naturally didn't need to eat a lot to maintain his body's activity.
However, this would also limit Ryuji's strength. Therefore, he didn't use the Breath of the Forest 24/7. When necessary, he used the Breath of the Water.
Tanjiro put his dried fish away because he knew Ryuji ate less than him and needed food more.
Therefore, Tanjiro wouldn't try to act tough in front of Ryuji; that would be foolish.
"Ryuji, you should eat some too!" Zenitsu, this time, didn't eat by himself but gestured for Ryuji to help himself.
Ryuji naturally wouldn't refuse, as it was his food. He took two pieces of dried fish and ate them.
"Zenitsu, in the wilderness, you must learn to allocate food rationally," Ryuji instructed Zenitsu while eating.
"Ryuji, I understand! I won't eat all of yours!" Zenitsu, aware of his large appetite, replied with a grin.
Tanjiro then asked Zenitsu, "Zenitsu, what about your food? Did you eat it all?"
"Hee hee hee!" Zenitsu scratched his head sheepishly. "Well, I spent all my allowance on girls, so I didn't buy any food."
"Spent it on girls?" The innocent Tanjiro didn't understand Zenitsu.
"He went to brothels," Ryuji explained directly to Tanjiro.
Tanjiro understood and, somewhat embarrassed and surprised, questioned Zenitsu. "Zenitsu, isn't that a place for adults? How could you go to such a place?"
Zenitsu hadn't expected Ryuji to reveal his secret so calmly and nonchalantly. He became even more embarrassed and explained, "I'm a victim too! Those girls forced me in! I couldn't help it! They took all my allowance and kicked me out!
