"You can also treat mental trauma?"
After Lin Que arrived in the Demon Slayer World, a surprised expression appeared on Butterfly Kanae's face for the first time.
"It couldn't be..."
"I'm not joking."
After experiencing what it was like to cry wolf, Lin Que looked at Kanao, who was silently spacing out.
"You also said just now that her condition stems from bad childhood memories."
"As a result, she unconsciously suppressed her emotions to escape that pain."
She doesn't feel sad or cry when encountering sadness, and she doesn't feel happy or laugh when experiencing joy.
Suppressing her emotions has led to her losing the ability to express feelings; this is Kanao Tsuyuri's symptom.
And curing this symptom is actually quite simple.
"Constant suppression always has its limits."
"She appears unable to express emotions now simply because the emotions deep within her heart are not yet profound enough."
"As long as one of her emotions accumulates a sufficient amount and breaks through the blockade in one fell swoop, she will naturally regain the ability to express emotions."
As Butterfly Kanae said before, healing Kanao's mental trauma through time is essentially allowing happiness and joy to accumulate little by little in her heart.
While this method is stable, it requires a significant amount of time.
Unless some unexpected situation occurs, it would take at least ten years to succeed.
However, with Lin Que present, it's different.
After his Observation Haki reached the pinnacle, he could achieve emotional resonance and emotional transmission to a certain extent.
As long as Lin Que shared his happiness with the other party, he could forcefully break through Kanao's blockade through external means, allowing her to regain the ability to express emotions ahead of time.
"It certainly sounds plausible."
Butterfly Kanae looked at Lin Que: "As for the treatment fee, let's pay with points."
"The amount might not be enough; if it's not, can I owe it for now? I'll pay it back as soon as possible."
"You're quite serious."
Lin Que smiled at Kanae: "Didn't you consider playing the emotional card with me and getting the treatment for free?"
Butterfly Kanae replied righteously: "I'm already very grateful that you're willing to help; of course, I can't do that."
In fact, besides treating Kanao, she already owed Lin Que two debts.
One was Lin Que specifically crossing worlds to save her from Doma.
The other was Lin Que's willingness to act and deal with Kibutsuji Muzan.
Perhaps Lin Que might not care about the reward, but as the recipient of the help, she could not afford not to care.
The Demon Slayer World, unlike the One Piece World, didn't have many valuable things to begin with.
Lin Que had helped her multiple times, and she had to remember it firmly, intending to accumulate enough points in the future to repay him and settle this favor.
"You want to repay my favor?"
This time, Lin Que did not activate his Observation Haki.
Butterfly Kanae's expression was simply too easy to read; he saw through her thoughts at a glance.
However...
This was also the effect he wanted.
That's right, Lin Que did it on purpose.
He didn't mention compensation along the way, only symbolically asking Yaozai Ubuyashiki for some Breathing Style cultivation methods.
The ultimate goal of doing this was to make Butterfly Kanae, who was gentle and kind, feel guilty.
Only then could he conveniently make his move.
"If you want to repay the favor, there's actually no need to make it so troublesome."
Lin Que's gaze swept over Butterfly Kanae's graceful figure, and he smiled lightly as he met her eyes.
"I've always been very lenient with my own people."
"As long as you become one of my own, then favors and such naturally won't matter, right?"
"Huh? The topic changed so suddenly."
Kanae was startled, vaguely sensing something was off: "Why are you suddenly talking about this?"
"Because I think Kanae is very cute~"
Lin Que replied casually: "Seeing how stubborn you are, I just gave you a win-win-win option."
"You repay the favor, I gain happiness, and I can also use this happiness to treat Kanao."
"Don't you think this is a perfect choice!"
Kanae hesitated: "But..."
"And if you follow me, your sister and Kanao can also gain a lot of benefits."
While Kanae's mind hadn't fully processed it, Lin Que began to press his advantage.
"As a member of the chat group, Kanae, you will surely gain many benefits in the future."
"But your sister and Kanao are different; they are just ordinary people."
"If they don't transcend this world, they'll live at most a hundred years."
"You wouldn't want to still be alive in the future while your loved ones have turned into withered bones, would you?"
Butterfly Kanae: "...Is that really possible?"
Lin Que's lips curved upward slightly: "Of course it is."
...
Several hours later, Lin Que walked out of the room with a pleased expression.
"Shinobu, don't hide there."
"Your sister is tired and asleep; help take care of her."
"...How did you know I was here?"
The door of the nearby storage room was pushed open, and Butterfly Shinobu walked out with an embarrassed look on her face.
Lin Que pointed to his ear: "Did you forget? My perception is very keen."
Butterfly Shinobu: "..."
Just now, because the sound she heard was too shocking, she was busy finding a place to hide and really forgot about it.
"Oh, by the way, I've already cured Kanao's mental trauma."
As if remembering something, Lin Que added: "Don't worry, I made her fall asleep before doing anything proper."
"Who asked you about that!"
Butterfly Shinobu's face turned red, and she grabbed Lin Que, who was walking out, and questioned him loudly.
"Why do you want me to take care of my sister? Shouldn't you be the person she wants to see most when she wakes up!"
"Actually, I also wanted to wait until Kanae woke up, but I couldn't help it~"
Lin Que sighed, a helpless expression on his face: "There are too many things; I have to deal with another matter."
"Don't worry, I'm just asking you to help watch over her; I'll be back before she wakes up."
"That makes sense."
Butterfly Shinobu nodded in satisfaction, then asked curiously.
"Speaking of which, what's the other matter you mentioned?"
Lin Que pointed in the direction of Tokyo: "Going on a blind date."
Butterfly Shinobu: "???"
