Chapter 109 Tanjiro is in your hands
Tanjiro quickly stood in front of Nezuko, and an anxious and frightened voice shouted from his mouth: "No, Samurai-sama, she is my sister! Please let her go."
A hint of hesitation flashed across Giyuu's eyes, but he still held the Nichirin Sword firmly in his hand, and said in an unquestionable tone: "Tanjiro, she is no longer your sister, she is a ghost now!"
Tanjiro's eyes widened, tears welled up in his eyes, and he said in a trembling voice: "No, no, Nezuko won't hurt anyone, she's just sick, please believe me!"
Giyuu felt a little reluctant when looking at the young man in front of him, but his mission as a ghost hunter did not allow him to waver in the slightest. He tightly grasped the Nichirin sword and emphasized again: "Tanjiro, ghosts are ghosts. They will kill and eat people. This is a fact that cannot be changed!"
Tanjiro shook his head desperately and said in a hissing voice: "But Nezuko is different, she still recognizes me, she still has humanity, she will never hurt others!"
Then, just like in the original story, Tanjiro fought with Giyu Tomioka to protect his sister.
Although Tanjiro only has an axe and knows how powerful the person he is facing is, he still musters up the courage to fight for the sake of his family.
But courage can never defeat reality. Although Tanjiro showed his extraordinary talent, he was still easily knocked to the ground by Giyuu, the Water Pillar, and he couldn't get up.
Just when Giyuu was about to kill Nezuko, Nezuko suddenly felt something, broke free from her family's restraints, and rushed over madly to block the fallen Tanjiro, staring at Giyuu Tomioka fiercely.
Nezuko let out a deep roar, her eyes turned red, and her teeth grew longer. Seeing this, Giyuu immediately became alert and began to use the Water Breathing Technique.
Looking at Nezuko standing in front of him, Tanjiro's heart was filled with surprise. Just as he was about to explain something, he saw the two of them fighting each other.
But who is Tomioka Giyu? The Water Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps, who can't even use blood demon arts, has killed countless demons.
Although Nezuko attacked frantically, she was still easily defeated and fell to the ground with all her limbs cut off.
Just as they were about to give her the final beheading blow, everyone in the room rushed out and stood in front of Nezuko, begging:
"Master Samurai, please let Nezuko go. She is a good child and will not hurt anyone!"
"Big brother, let my sister go! My sister is so gentle!"
……
Faced with the desperate pleas of the woman and child, Yiyong couldn't bring himself to cut with his sword. If he killed Nezuko like this, he didn't know how big a blow it would be to the family, but he also knew that he couldn't be soft-hearted.
They didn't understand because they didn't understand how scary ghosts were, but I didn't understand that either, so Yiyong firmed his gaze again. Even if they hated me for the rest of their lives, it was better than dying at the hands of ghosts.
Just as he was about to take action again with the Nichirin Sword in his hand, Tomioka Giyuu saw an unbelievable scene.
Tanjiro struggled to sit up. He looked at Nezuko with heartache and called her name.
Nezuko seemed to understand what her brother said. Her expression gradually returned to calm, and the red light in her eyes gradually disappeared. She tried hard to move towards Tanjiro with her new little hands and feet.
Finally, she gently stroked Tanjiro's wound with her sharp clawed hands. Tanjiro cried out to Giyuu excitedly with tears in his eyes:
"Master Samurai, look, Nezuko still recognized me, she didn't hurt me!"
When Yiyong saw this scene, his heart was moved. He put down the raised Nichirin Sword and fell into deep thought. Perhaps Nezuko is really different from other ghosts...
Just then, a member of the Demon Slayer Corps rushed over, shouting as he ran: "Suizhu-sama, Daozhu-sama ordered you not to kill the girl who turned into a demon for the time being!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Giyu Tomioka stopped hesitating and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Soon Feng Xiaodao and Xing Ming arrived with the help of their teammates.
Tanjiro's mother and family seemed to have found a life-saving straw. They knelt down in front of Feng Xiaodao and begged him to save Nezuko.
Tanjiro didn't understand, but he guessed that Feng Xiaodao might be the person his mother had mentioned who saved their family, so he knelt down and begged:
"Master Feng Xiaodao, I know you are very powerful and you kill demons to save everyone, but Nezuko is my sister. She is very gentle and will not hurt anyone. Please find a way to save her!"
Feng Xiaodao looked at Giyuu. Giyuu didn't say anything but just nodded silently, acknowledging what Tanjiro said.
"I believe what you say!"
Tanjiro and his family immediately showed delighted expressions.
"But it is an undeniable fact that Nezuko has turned into a demon. I believe you have also seen her changes. She may not hurt you, but there is no guarantee that she will not hurt others in the future."
Feng Xiaodao's next words made the other Demon Slayer Team members nod in agreement. Although these team members did not express any opinions because of the presence of several adults, they all believed in their hearts that Nezuko should be killed.
Although Feng Xiaodao had planned to prevent Nezuko from being killed, he could not just give the order to rescue her. That would make everyone obey on the surface but not obey in their hearts.
"I promise, I promise not to let Nezuko hurt anyone. I will always keep her by my side and take good care of her!" Tanjiro said hurriedly.
"What can you guarantee, little ghost? You have seen how powerful ghosts are. You should know yourself. Men should not make promises that they cannot keep!" Yiyong sneered calmly.
Tanjiro didn't know what to say.
"Tanjiro, Giyuu is right. You are still too weak. You need to become stronger to convince others!" Feng Xiaodao said to Tanjiro, and then said to all the members:
"Nezuko cannot be killed for now. Everyone knows about Muzan's visit. I think it's too strange for a big man like Muzan to take action against this girl. There's something fishy about this matter, so let's discuss it later before making a decision. What do you think?"
Xing Ming had already discussed this with Feng Xiaodao, so of course he would not object. The team members also felt that what Feng Xiaodao said made sense. Muzan was a ghost that they would never see in their entire lives. This matter was too serious, so it was better to be cautious.
"I have some of the latest demon-suppressing potions developed by the Demon Slayer Corps. If Nezuko takes it every day, it will ensure that she has no ability to hurt people. Tanjiro, since Nezuko won't hurt you, you will be responsible for feeding her!"
Tanjiro took the potion handed over by Feng Xiaodao and carefully fed it to Nezuko.
What followed was Feng Xiaodao's main business this time. He hoped that Tanjiro would teach the family heirloom Kagura Dance to Feng Xiaodao. Feng Xiaodao also clearly told him that this was why Muzan attacked him.
At the same time, I also told him that this was a powerful skill, and hoped that he would practice it well and not reveal it to others at will.
In return, Feng Xiaodao agreed to a reasonable condition for Tanjiro.
"I hope to turn my sister Nezuko back into a human!!" Tanjiro blurted out.
"Tanjiro, there is currently no way to turn demons back into humans, otherwise we wouldn't have to kill demons! Please change your request!" Although Feng Xiaodao had already expected this kid to do this, he still said helplessly.
"Then I want to become stronger, I want to protect my family, and I want to destroy the hateful demons!" Tanjiro said firmly.
Feng Xiaodao agreed without hesitation, then smiled and looked at Tomioka Giyuu: "Master Duan Shuiliu, I'll leave this matter to you first!"
Tomioka Giyuu asked with a melancholy face: "Why me? You clearly agreed to it!"
"But I'm also working for the Demon Slayer Corps. Besides, look at me and Xing Ming, we're both like this, how can we still do anything?"
"I, I, forget it, remember you owe me a favor!"
"Then I'll leave Tanjiro and Nezuko to you!!"
