Chapter 06 (revised)

[Nezuko noticed something. Tanjiro grabbed her neck with his right hand and pushed her aside. Satsuki was startled and the knife that she couldn't retract in time grazed Tanjiro's hair.

What's wrong? Who is it?

Tanjiro held Nezuko in his arms, and the two rolled a long way before they bumped into a tree trunk. He cried out in pain, but held Nezuko tighter. He was confused, and raised his eyes again, staring at the person in front of him.

"Why should you protect her?" Santo pointed the tip of his knife at Nezuko, his tone flat.

"Sister! She is my sister!" He said. Nezuko struggled to leave, but he hugged her tightly again.

"Really?" said Santo. He rushed towards Tanjiro with a knife. The next second, Tanjiro immediately found that Nezuko was gone from his arms. 】

"Who on earth is this? He is also using the Water Breathing!" Uzui Tengen was incredulous. "Didn't he go to Tomioka at that time?"

"Really? Tomioka isn't here right now, and I don't know if he knows this guy?"

Tomioka Giyu is now completely in a trance.

...Did the Xuantu from that world survive?

The rabbit survived...

The rabbit...

Fuzukawa Miyabi also subconsciously looked to the side, and saw that the man who usually had an indifferent expression now looked like a porcelain doll that was about to break, with tears streaming down his cheeks and falling to the ground.

"What is this? Tomioka, you're obviously not in good condition!" Fuzugawa was shocked. "Hey, are you okay?"

[“My job is to kill demons, so I will naturally chop off your sister’s head.” Santo lifted Nezuko’s collar with one hand, as if to explain his purpose to Kamado Tanjiro, “Accept it, demons will eat people. Accept the reality, it’s not manly at all!”

"Wait a minute, but Nezuko has never killed anyone!" Tanjiro Kamado tried to recall, "There is another strange smell in my house... The one who killed everyone must be that guy..."

"I don't know why Nezuko became like this, but..."

"It's very simple. If there's blood on the wound, it will turn into a ghost. That's how human ghosts increase."

"But Nezuko won't eat people! She will recognize me... So, so... Go find her, go find her!"

"I will definitely find a way to turn Nezuko back into a human... so please don't kill her!"

"I will also find the guy who killed my family! I will do everything well! So! So!" Seeing that the opponent had raised the Sun Blade and pointed it at Nezuko's neck, Tanjiro made a move - he knelt down deeply towards Sane:

"Please stop!" Please don't take anything from me anymore..."

"Please don't kill my sister... I beg you, I beg you..."]

It's very similar to what Tomioka Giyuu said...but the nature of the people who go to kill demons this time is different!

You know, it was Tomioka Giyu who went there at that time, and he just told them something like "Someone in Kamado Tanjiro's family turned into a demon, and he convinced me, so I let him go." And the one who went this time...

It was a man I didn't know.

"But otherwise, it's no different from when Mr. Tomioka met Tanjiro," said Shinobu Kocho.

"Golden buttons?" Iguro Obanai said sarcastically, "Isn't he also a Pillar? The blue sword is also made of water, right? He won't just let this ghost go like this, will he? Does he realize what the responsibility of a Pillar is? He is even worse than Toioka."

"Hmm!" Rengoku Kyojuro said loudly, "Excuse me, my lord. If Tomioka is like the people above and lets this ghost go just because of this, I cannot accept such behavior at all!"

The Wind Pillar, who had the hottest temper and happened to be with Tomiokaka Giyuu, looked at the screen and felt his anger rising. But he was not so indiscriminate as to attack without knowing the reason. He suppressed his anger and said, "Didn't you release the ghost because of this?"

Tomioka Giyuu did not answer: "..."

"..."Fuzuikawa Miyabi: MD, is it true or not? Can you give me a definite answer?

But seeing the other person's fragile look, he didn't say anything in the end. He just waited for the screen to finish playing so that he could ask that bastard Tomioka what he was thinking.

[But no one expected that this action would suddenly make Xuantu angry.

He walked forward angrily and slapped Tanjiro hard on the face.

"Don't lie down on the ground in misery! If that had worked your family wouldn't have been killed!"

"When it comes to taking away or being taken away, a weak person who can't even take control can heal his sister and find the enemy? It's ridiculous!"

The weak have no rights or choices! They will all succumb to the power of the strong!"

"The ghost may know how to cure your sister, but! Don't think that the ghost will respect your will and wishes!"

"Of course I won't respect you either! That's reality!"

"Why! You just stood in front of your sister?! Do you think that's protecting her?! Why didn't you raise the axe?! Why did you let me see your back!"

"Your mistake caused your sister to be kidnapped! I can stab your sister to death as well!"

"This is so unmanly! Is this what being a man is like?!"

Don't cry, don't despair, this is not what you should do now.

I know you are deeply traumatized now. Your family was killed and your sister turned into a ghost. It must be very painful for you. You must want to scream out loud. I understand.

If I had come half a day earlier, your family would not have died. But time cannot be reversed.

Get angry! This strong and pure anger can be the driving force for your actions. You can't protect or cure your sister with only weak determination, and you can't avenge your family!

Just like Giyuu...】{1}

"Am I seeing things?" Iguro Xiaoba was dumbfounded. "There are people in Shuihu who can talk properly?"

After he finished speaking, the lord's house fell into silence. After a long while, Uzui Tengen finally spoke: "That guy, I have to say, his personality is much more flamboyant than Tomioka's."

In the Misty Mountains, Qiu Tu Zhenji was speechless for a moment.

Xuantu looked at himself on the screen - it was too obvious, that him. The most important thing for Shuihu was to have a calm heart, just like water - but that him...

Who are you looking at through Tanjiro?

"Does it mean that one of Yiyong and I must die?" From his own performance, it was not difficult to see that Yiyong was no longer here.

Zhengu patted his shoulder in silence.

But Xuantu suddenly laughed: "But that's just what's on the screen! You know! In real life, I protect Yiyong very well!"

[After hearing what Sango said, Tanjiro finally made up his mind. He first threw a few stones at Sango, then used the wind and snow to hide, and ran towards him with his axe raised while he was not paying attention.

"Surrendering to the reckless attack of emotions! It's too stupid and not manly at all!" Xuantu knocked the opponent unconscious with the back of the knife, but at this moment, he suddenly reacted - where is the axe?

Suddenly, he turned his head and saw the axe coming towards him and stuck in the tree behind him.

"You weren't almost hit by this axe, were you?" asked Fuzugawa Miyabi.

Tomioka Giyu: “…”

"Is this what you mean by 'we are different', you bastard Tomiokana?" Seeing that the other party did not respond, Fuzugawa Miyabi acquiesced. He acted as usual, trying to make Tomiokana adjust, "--You almost died at the hands of an untrained kid?"

Tomioka Giyuu still remained silent.

Fuzuigawa Miyabi's veins were bulging with anger - he raised the Nichirin Sword, took a deep breath, and finally put the sword down - he is not in a good condition now, I won't fight him. Wait, you bastard Tomiokana! He gritted his teeth: I will fight you when you recover!

"Oh." Shinobu Kocho tilted her head, "So why didn't this gentleman kill the demon at the beginning? This way, a lot of trouble can be avoided."

"You should ask this guy about this," said Uzui Tengen. "Who knows what they are thinking. I guess their heads are filled with water."

[Before hiding in the shade of the tree, he threw a stone towards me and threw the axe upwards at the same time. In order to prevent people from finding out that he was unarmed, he used the axe-wielding posture to hide his hand. He knew that he couldn't beat me, so he wanted to defeat me after he was chopped down. This guy...

Nezuko in Tanjiro's arms also began to struggle. Because of the previous relaxation, she was kicked away by Nezuko. Nezuko also ran to Tanjiro's side.

"Oh no! I'm going to be eaten!"

But to her surprise, Nezuko stood in front of the boy and made an attacking move towards him - she was protecting the boy behind her - Kamado Tanjiro, her brother. 】

"This is really... unbelievable."

This scene caused quite a stir in the Demon Slayer Corps. Everyone knows that when demons are just born, they are hungry, and they will kill and eat even their parents and brothers in front of them because they have high nutritional value. But this Nezuko in front of them...

Fuzugawa Shimoya was silent. He couldn't help but wonder, if that person could be like the ghost on the screen, then would his brothers and sisters be able to survive?

...but there was only one ghost on the screen.

After receiving the message from his neighbor, Ouyashiki Yoya blinked and suddenly muttered to himself, "This is really, unbelievable."

[When Tanjiro Kamado got up, he found his sister wrapped in a piece of clothing, lying next to him with a small piece of bamboo in her mouth.

"Are you awake?" Santo leaned against the tree. "Go visit the old man named Rindo Sakonji who lives at the foot of Mt. Samagiri. Tell him that Santo asked you to come. It should be okay since there is little sunlight now, but don't bring your sister out into the sun."

After saying this, he disappeared.

"Mr. Santoshi is so gentle." Kanroji Mitsuri was the first to speak, "He put the clothes on Nezuko-chan, are you afraid that she will be cold? And the bamboo in her mouth must be specially made by Mr. Tomioka. So gentle! Mr. Tomioka is so handsome!"

"Shantu?"

Uzui Tengen tilted his head: ...I feel like this name sounds familiar...

【Lens Transition——

Because Nezuko is afraid of sunlight, she can't travel during the day. So Tanjiro bought some wood and made a small box, and let Nezuko hide in it during the day, while he carried her on his back. In this way, he can travel even during the day.

Finally, after hurrying, the two (one person and one ghost) finally arrived at a small mountain village next to Samagiri Mountain. From a distance, Tanjiro saw a light. He walked closer and smelled the smell of blood. At this time, a cannibal ghost was gnawing on a human corpse!

Tanjiro was frightened. 】

"This is probably the first time he has faced a scene of a demon eating a person." Tokito Muichiro said calmly.
