For some unknown reason, Nezuko doesn't need to eat humans. She can just replenish her energy through sleep. The downside is that Nezuko often falls asleep while walking on the road.
Sometimes Tanjiro would hold Nezuko's hand and talk for a long time without hearing any response. When he looked down, he found that Nezuko had fallen asleep, her head nodding but her legs still following him normally.
Because Nezuko has always been very well-behaved and doesn't want to cause them trouble, Tanjiro and Bai Guangying sometimes can't immediately notice when Nezuko turns off her phone.
When Tanjiro saw the Tokito brothers arguing with each other, he subconsciously smiled and greeted them, but he forgot that he was not in his transformed state and was not wearing the Demon Slayer Corps uniform.
So the scene that Tokito Ichiro and Tokito Muichiro saw was that a strange man was pulling the sister of the man who had stayed at their house before, who now had her eyes closed and seemed to be unconscious, and was smiling at them.
This is a provocation!
"Muichiro, come on! I told you that lunatic couldn't take care of his stupid sister, and now she's been kidnapped!" Youichiro was so angry that he picked up a knife and rushed over, shouting "Muichiro".
After a period of chaos, they finally explained the current situation clearly.
Tanjiro and Bai Guangying transformed and explained the current situation to Yuichiro and Muichiro. He couldn't explain what the face transformation was, but only said that it was similar to the power bestowed by God.
Looking at Tanjiro and Bai Guangying after their transformation, Ichiro and Muichiro first thanked them for their previous protection.
Then Ichiro started his venomous tone: "Even the gods can't change Nezuko back, it sounds useless."
Bai Guangying: ...
"Although I can't turn Nezuko back, I can make your two lives stay in the present forever." Bai Guangying lifted her invisibility and stared at the Tokito brothers.
"Guangying has actually always been by my side, but she doesn't like talking to others, so she is usually invisible." Tanjiro introduced them.
Tokito Ichirō: "...I'm sorry, God-sama, I was too outspoken."
"I'm sorry, Lord God, my brother has always liked to speak in a sarcastic way since he was a child. He always says that he hates me, but I know that he likes me the most." Tokito Muichiro smiled ingratiatingly.
Youyilang's ears turned red. After your parents died, he stood up with sharp thorns without distinguishing between friend and foe, and everyone around him gave in to him. Now it's time for him to change his bad habits.
"I'm just stating the truth, there's nothing to be sorry about—" Bai Guangying spoke in a sarcastic tone.
Tanjiro told them not to worry too much, and Bai Guangying was not really angry.
They were relieved, and Muichiro was a little confused: "Since Tanjiro is stronger after transforming, why doesn't he transform?"
"Guangying will leave sooner or later. Her transformed form, strength, and speed are all different. If I only know that form and can't use my body, how will I protect my family after Guangying leaves?"
Last time, after Bai Guangying killed many evil spirits in the Eternal Paradise Sect, she suddenly felt like leaving this world. She did not hide it from Tanjiro, and told him the truth and asked him to train hard so that he could have the power to protect the people he cared about even without her.
Tanjiro had a really hard time during that period. He listened to the believers' complaints, felt sad for them sincerely, and silently remembered their pain. At the same time, he encouraged the believers to be self-reliant and protected them from their families who came to harass them.
He also had to learn business, learn how to cash in on the things Bai Guangying brought, and think about arranging some stable jobs for the believers.
It would be easy to hand it over to the people sent by Yodoya and Ubuyashiki Kyouya, but Bai Guangying did not trust them.
"You should have a certain understanding of everything involving money. You have some inhuman power now, which can intimidate them, but what about after I'm gone?
Will they still be so pious once they discover you've become mortal?
Just because you don't care about money doesn't mean others don't care about money. Human desire for money is enough to drive people crazy..." When Bai Guangying said this, she felt a sense of sadness, skipping over this sentence and continuing to lecture Tanjiro:
"If you want to protect them in the long run, you need to have this power yourself, not rely on others. Whether it's freedom or anything else, it's only yours if you grasp it. If you can't hold on to what others give it, it's not yours."
So Tanjiro embarked on a very difficult learning journey. Those numbers, interpersonal relationships, and social relationships made Tanjiro's head about to explode.
Even so, Tanjiro still has to take time to exercise and practice swordsmanship.
But the child did not back down at all. He remembered the pain that came into his ears, so he tried his best to help them.
Only occasionally, in the quiet of the night, Tanjiro would sit where he listened to the voices of the believers during the day, feeling the tranquility brought by the night, and would murmur in confusion: "Why, I originally thought that only evil spirits would hurt people, but their endless pain also comes from humans?"
Tanjiro couldn't figure it out, and he didn't want to give up, so he could only try harder and save more people.
Tanjiro, who was overthinking for a moment, looked at the Nichirin sword in his hand that was given by Ubuyashiki Kōya: "I, hope that even without the power of light, I can still protect the people I want to protect."
"Of course you can do it!" Muichiro said with a smile, looking at Tanjiro with a serious expression.
You Yilang didn't say anything. He hated the idea of "protecting others" and felt that it was good enough for people to be able to protect themselves in this world.
However, Muichiro believed everything his father said, "If people help each other, it will eventually be rewarded to themselves."
