Nezuko flashed a bright smile and ran quickly toward Chinatsu, throwing herself into her arms.
Chinatsu was a little confused, thinking that it had only been a few days since she last saw Nezuko, how could she have overcome the sunlight on her own? It couldn't have been that she was bored and suddenly had the idea to try it out, right?
"Nezuko? You... why aren't you afraid of the light anymore?" Chinatsu looked down at the happy Nezuko in her arms and asked in confusion.
At that moment, Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke, who were inside the residence, heard the commotion outside and quickly ran out.
"Sis? You're back!"
Tanjiro was overjoyed to see his older sister return.
For Nezuko and Tanjiro, even a week or two apart feels like a very long time. After all, they are family and grew up together. They rarely miss a week or two, let alone a week or two.
Tanjiro shouted and tried to rush towards Chinatsu, but Chinatsu quickly raised her hand and forcibly blocked Tanjiro from approaching.
Chinatsu glanced at Tanjiro in front of her with deadpan eyes, then at Nezuko in her arms, and said, "Aren't you going to explain Nezuko's situation to me first?"
Tanjiro was stunned when he heard this, and turned his head away somewhat embarrassedly, while his outstretched finger gently scratched Tanjiro's cheek.
Nezuko stepped back from Chinatsu's embrace and came to Tanjiro's side. She held up one finger. Although she was a little nervous, she still stood up decisively to "protect" her brother.
"Sister...sister, well...it's actually like this..."
Let's rewind to the time when Chinatsu and Kyojuro were exchanging swords and the explosion occurred.
Tanjiro was worried about Chinatsu, so his body acted before his mind could even process it. He turned around and dashed toward the training ground where Chinatsu was.
After Zenitsu and Inosuke removed their blindfolds, they noticed the commotion coming from the direction of the training ground and quickly headed over.
Just ten seconds after the two ran away, Nezuko came out of a house. She turned her head and looked around and found that her sister, brother, Zenitsu and Inosuke were gone. A strong sense of unease welled up in her heart.
After she became a ghost, her physical abilities improved dramatically, including her five senses.
There was a constant commotion over the training ground, it sounded like a battle was taking place... It seemed like my older sister and brother were there!
Nezuko walked to the edge of the house, looking at the outside where she would be exposed to sunlight with just one more step. Nezuko pursed her lips and clenched her fists.
Could something have happened? Are my sister and brother in danger? I want to go help, but it's daytime now.
Nezuko pursed her lips and lowered her head. As a demon, she feared sunlight. Although she had never been exposed to even a little bit of sunlight since becoming a demon, her body still involuntarily felt a fear of the concept of sunlight.
At that moment, she suddenly remembered the conversation she had with her sister when they were still in the Urokodaki wooden house.
"Sister, why don't you and brother leave me here? Look at me, I'm so weak and afraid of the sun. If I play with you, I'll definitely hold you back..."
At that time, Nezuko felt a sense of inferiority because of her slow progress in Water Breathing and swordsmanship, and because the time for her to officially go out on missions with Chinatsu and Tanjiro was getting closer.
Chinatsu, who was standing nearby, noticed Nezuko's little secret and walked over to her, gently stroking her head.
"How could Nezuko be a burden? Nezuko is so... cough cough, Nezuko, think about it, you are a demon who has overcome your bloodlust, a unique existence. Perhaps you can overcome your sunshine in the future too."
Chinatsu comforted Nezuko, and although Chinatsu wasn't very good at comforting people, Nezuko still listened to Chinatsu's words of comfort.
She tilted her head slightly and looked at the closed window in the room, muttering something softly to herself.
"If only I could truly be unafraid of the sun..."
These memories surged into Nezuko's mind, and for some reason, she suddenly had a very absurd and dangerous idea.
Why don't you give it a try?
I also have regenerative abilities. I'll just stick my hand out to test it; if it hurts, I'll immediately pull it back...
If Tanjiro were present, he would never have let Nezuko try it so easily, but Tanjiro was not there at this moment, which is why Tanjiro was embarrassed and dared not answer when faced with Chinatsu's question.
Nezuko swallowed hard, her hand trembling as she slowly reached out.
The moment her hand touched the sunlight, Nezuko lowered her head, a look of pain on her face.
The sunlight fell on her skin, but this gentle sunlight transformed into a killer ray, scorching Nezuko's skin.
Just as Nezuko was in so much pain that she wanted to pull her hand back, she suddenly felt the pain weakening.
Hmm? Is this just my imagination?
Nezuko slowly opened her eyes and cautiously looked at her outstretched hand.
Her outstretched palm was no longer scorched by the sun, and the initial burns were gradually healing.
Nezuko's eyes widened in surprise. She pulled her outstretched hand back and stared dumbfounded at her palm, which had just been scorched by the sun.
Everything's alright? It seems like everything's really alright?!
"Could it be... that I really... am not afraid of the sun?"
Nezuko blinked blankly, looking like a child who had just received a new toy, her eyes filled with curiosity.
Should we switch to the other arm?
Ouch...it hurts...but it doesn't seem to hurt anymore?
The burning sensation lasted only two or three seconds before disappearing completely. After confirming it a second time, a dazzling star shone in each of Nezuko's eyes.
Nezuko then began to perform the "repeated jumping" that would make Muzan, the Demon King, envious and tearful if he saw this scene.
Give me a leg!
The other leg!
Three! Two! One!
Let's give it our all!
Nezuko took a deep breath and stepped out of the room, fully exposed to the sunlight. The burning pain from the sun vanished in an instant. Once the pain was completely gone, Nezuko raised her arms and cheered.
From Nezuko's words, Chinatsu roughly imagined the situation in her mind. Nezuko was holding up a finger, smiling and talking about her cleverness and wit, but Chinatsu didn't see her chop straight down and land on Nezuko's forehead.
"Hey! Sister, what are you doing?!"
Nezuko closed her eyes in pain, weakly raising her hands to cover her head. Chinatsu looked at her irritably, unsure of what to say.
Although it's a good thing that Nezuko discovered she could overcome sunlight, she was really too mischievous this time. Even Chinatsu, who knew the original plot, was terrified.
The original plot can only serve as a reference. After my own existence came into being, this world was no longer the original story; at best, it can only be considered fan fiction.
Chinatsu was terrified at the thought that the plot of the entire world might change because of her interference, and that Nezuko's body might become unable to withstand sunlight.
Ultimately, Chika still didn't believe that everything would proceed as smoothly as she had imagined.
She is not a god; she simply transmigrated to this world by chance and became a special being in it.
There are too many uncertainties to consider and handle carefully, all in order for this story to reach a happy ending where everyone can have a good outcome...
