Nezuko, with a bamboo tube in her mouth, nestled in Chinatsu's arms, while Tanjiro, standing beside her, shed tears of excitement, for Nezuko had finally woken up.
Chinatsu looked down at Nezuko in her arms. Nezuko was nestled in Chinatsu's embrace. Chinatsu and the others hadn't seen Nezuko awake for two years. Although Nezuko had been asleep for the past two years, she could still vaguely sense the outside world.
After waking up, she looked around but didn't see Chinatsu and Tanjiro. Even though Urokodaki was there, she still felt uneasy because her family wasn't around. Sensing their presence, she reacted even faster than Urokodaki and rushed out of the house.
Surprisingly, Chika didn't seem at a loss in the face of this situation.
The father passed away early due to health problems, and the burden of the family fell on the mother and eldest son Tanjiro. They often left home, and Chinatsu, who was at home taking care of the young children, often played the role of "mother".
God-level skill "Motherly Love", GET!
Chinatsu reached out and patted Nezuko's head gently, saying, "It's alright, it's alright, we're back."
As Tanjiro watched this scene, memories of his childhood flashed before his eyes. Back then, when his family was still alive, Tanjiro couldn't help but shed tears.
Urokodaki followed closely behind and came out of the room. When he saw Chinatsu and Tanjiro return, he was already quite old and couldn't hold back his tears. He quickly ran to the two of them and hugged Chinatsu, Tanjiro, and Nezuko together.
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back. Are you all alright?" Urokodaki hugged them and said, moved.
Every disciple he trained failed to survive the final selection, like a terrible curse. But now, this terrible curse, along with Urokodaki's inner turmoil, has been broken. Urokodaki's strange unhappiness is definitely not a lie. If you were to remove the Tengu mask he wears, you would definitely see the tears dripping down his cheeks.
Inside the wooden house.
Urokodaki served each of Chinatsu and Tanjiro a full bowl of miso soup. After receiving the soup, Chinatsu and Tanjiro didn't care about the temperature and immediately slurped it down.
Tanjiro: Delicious!
Chinatsu: It’s cool!
Chika felt like she had finally come back to life. After finishing her bowl, she cheerfully handed the empty bowl back to Urokodaki.
"Another bowl, please!"
Urokodaki naturally wouldn't refuse; in fact, it was a good thing that he could eat it.
"The White Walkers... You destroyed those White Walkers..." Urokodaki said while serving miso soup to Chinatsu.
"Yes, we not only eliminated the Others, but also most of the demons on Mount Fujikasane!" Tanjiro said simply, causing Urokodaki to tremble involuntarily and almost spill the bowl of miso soup he was holding.
"So many have been eliminated..."
Urokodaki laughed out loud, a laugh that contained a lot of emotions.
Firstly, Sabito had told him when he went up the mountain that he would pass the test perfectly and eliminate all the demons in the mountain. In a way, Chinatsu and Tanjiro accomplished Sabito's goal.
Secondly, the demons on Fujikasa Mountain were all captured by the Pillars or Class A swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps. With the disappearance of a large number of demons from Fujikasa Mountain, they'll have to go capture more demons to replace them, keeping them busy.
Back when he was still a Pillar, he was already troubled by the matter of catching demons and sending them to Fujikasane Mountain. This wave of new generation swordsmen can understand their past troubles, and this wave can be considered Urokodaki's little "schadenfreude".
Urokodaki then talked a lot with Chinatsu and Tanjiro, such as the diversity of demons and the special ability that some high-level demons possess called "Blood Demon Art".
However, Urokodaki was no longer worried about the two of them. They were geniuses who had mastered "Complete Concentration - Normal" in the beginner village, and had broken the curse of death on his disciples. If it were them, they would definitely be fine, and they would definitely survive and become the pillars of the new generation.
While the three were talking, Nezuko, who couldn't speak because of the bamboo tube in her mouth, sat quietly to the side. Chinatsu felt sorry for Nezuko and held up a finger, suggesting that Nezuko take the bamboo tube off.
“Master Urokodaki, although we still cannot rule out the possibility of Nezuko going berserk, you are the original Pillar, and we are no longer the newbies we used to be. We will not be easily hurt by demons. Nezuko still has self-awareness now, so let her take off the bamboo tube for now, and put it back on when we are in a crowded place.”
Upon hearing Chinatsu's words, Tanjiro and Nezuko both stared at Urokodaki with wide, expectant eyes.
Tanjiro was one thing, but Nezuko's watery, expectant gaze was truly irresistible, at least in Chinatsu's opinion. However, Chinatsu thought Urokodaki was probably just as good as she was.
After the two of them looked at her for a while, Urokodaki agreed to the suggestion. Nezuko's mouth finally broke free of its seal, and she was full of energy. She happily opened her arms and hugged Chinatsu next to her again.
"elder sister!!!"
Tanjiro sat beside the two of them, watching them with a somewhat subtle expression, and poked himself with a finger.
"Nezuko, I... I still have me..."
Urokodaki calmly watched this scene, which could be described as a world-famous painting, sipped a mouthful of miso soup, and exhaled a breath of white steam.
The three siblings have a really good relationship...
After the siblings had a long-awaited chat, Nezuko lay down again and fell asleep. According to Urokodaki's speculation, Nezuko, being a demon, could not recover her strength like a normal demon because she did not eat people, so she chose to use sleep to recover her strength.
Upon hearing this speculation, Chika had her own speculation in mind.
Nezuko doesn't eat demons, so her stamina recovers slowly. She can only choose to sleep to keep her stamina low and recover little by little. So, is the same principle behind why she gets tired so easily?
However, this conjecture was quickly overturned by Chinatsu herself, because she had no bloodlust at all. Although her stamina was consumed quickly, she also recovered quickly and did not need to use sleep to recover her stamina like Nezuko.
Chika gazed at Nezuko sleeping on the bed and fell silent. In the original story, Nezuko was one of the few who achieved a happy ending, neither disabled nor dying young.
But if Muzan hadn't been there, she would have had an even better family. Muzan claimed that he was a natural disaster so there was no need to care, but even if he was a natural disaster, people would still vent their anger at the injustice of heaven. What's more, he was not a natural disaster, but a man-made one!
