(Return to Tanjiro again)

Tanjiro was running all the way with Nezuko on his back. He didn't dare to stay at all, for fear that he would delay time and cause Nezuko to wake up again.

"As long as Nezuko still has body temperature, my brother will not give up on you."

"Nezuko, you must hold on, my brother will definitely save you."

"But, what happened the night I was away?"

Tanjiro was very regretful of not going home last night. If he were at home, he might be able to resist the unknown creatures together and let his family survive.

"How desperate did you experience when I was sleeping..."

In front is the mountain road down the mountain. The mountain road is narrow and has no protection. Next to it is a vertical mountain wall that is ten meters high.

Tanjiro usually passes here with caution, afraid of slipping accidentally, and then falls down from a ten-meter-high mountain road.

Now, the snow is slipperier than usual, and the whirring wind and snow also blurs Tanjiro's vision. It is logical that you need to be more careful.

But Tanjiro couldn't, he couldn't slow down, Nezuko was still waiting to find a doctor to rescue her.

The long running made Tanjiro extremely tired. His heart beat faster and his breathing was heavy and rapid. A large amount of cold air flow reached his lungs along his throat. His lungs were so painful that he was as if countless steel needles were shuttled through.

"No, but I have to run faster, no matter how painful my body is and how difficult the road is, I have to run faster. I am still a long way from the town, so I have to hurry up."

"Nezuko, I won't let you die. I will save you. Brother will definitely save you!"

But Tanjiro, who was determined to fight against physical pain, did not notice that Nezuko's hanging hands suddenly moved.

Tanjiro helped her trim the flat and round nails, slowly growing and getting longer, and the tips became sharper.

Unconsciously, Tanjiro continued to run with difficulty, but within a few dozen seconds, Nezuko's movements became increasingly powerful.

Suddenly, Tanjiro felt that Nezuko was a little strange behind her.

He turned his head and found that Nezuko, who was originally unconscious, was shaking and straightening her body.

"Nezuko!"

Tanjiro's face showed joy, but before he could stop, Nezuko's mouth made a horrible sound.

Then she tried her best to open her lips, revealing her two sharp fangs, and bit her hard at Tanjiro.

Tanjiro was shocked. Nezuko's appearance looked like the ghost mentioned in the story...

He hurriedly avoided.

However, while avoiding, Tanjiro's soles slipped and lost his balance. Together with Nezuko, his whole body fell from the side of the mountain road.

"Bang"

Tanjiro and Nezuko landed at the same time, making a dull sound.

Not long after, Tanjiro stood up in a daze. Because of the heavy snow at night, Tanjiro's fallen land was covered with snow.

The thick snow formed a cushion, which prevented Tanjiro from suffering too much injuries.

But even so, Tanjiro felt sore all over his body and dizzy and dark, as if his bones were broken.

It was vague, Tanjiro looked up and saw Nezuko standing.

However, before he could react, Nezuko rushed over directly, but instead of asking Tanjiro to hug him like before, she threw herself down Tanjiro, opened her mouth and exposed her fangs and bit Tanjiro.

Nezuko seemed to have lost her mind.

At this time, Tanjiro pulled out the axe he carried with him, held both ends and hurriedly crossed his body in front of him.

Nezuko tightly bit the wooden handle of the axe and pressed it down hard.

"Nezuko, I'm Tanjiro, what's wrong with you?"

Nezuko didn't say anything, but she just let out a meaningless low roar. At the same time, Nezuko's body seemed to have grown a little bigger, and at the same time the strength coming from Nezuko was getting bigger and bigger, which made Tanjiro unable to bear it.

Unwilling to admit it, Tanjiro also confirmed in his heart that Nezuko had become a ghost.

"Nezuko, I'm my brother, you must still remember me, right?"

"Brother believes in you, don't be a ghost, cheer up."

……………………

After a stalemate for a while, two drops of water dripped on Tanjiro's cheeks, which were Nezuko's tears.

At some point, Nezuko was already in tears, and tears flowed down and dripped on Tanjiro's face.

Finally, Nezuko regained some rationality, but at this moment, Tanjiro saw a cold light, and the target of this cold light was Nezuko's neck.

Tanjiro let go of his hand holding the axe, and used some power from where he came from to pull Nezuko's body, then closed his eyes tightly, lowered his head and hugged Nezuko tightly in his arms.

Originally attacking Nezuko, it turned into a striking attack on Tanjiro. Han Guang hurriedly raised his head and cut off Tanjiro's hair.

At this time, Nezuko had recovered some of her reason and stopped attacking Tanjiro, but just struggled in his arms.

Tanjiro slowly opened his eyes and looked up, and saw the person standing in front of him.

A pair of narrow and long upward, cold and ruthless eyes, and a feathered jacket that alternates between half red and half yellow and green and orange.

This is Tanjiro's first impression of Tomooka Yoshiyuki.

Then, Tanjiro saw the knife in Yiyong's hand, holding it? This must be an extremely dangerous person.

"Why, you want to protect ghosts, aren't you afraid of ghosts?"

Tanjiro hugged and struggled tightly, and said loudly.

"I'm not afraid, what do you want to do? You are not allowed to hurt my sister!"

Yoshio Tomooka Yoshio was silent for a while, then said softly: "Is that your sister?"

Tomooka Yoshiyuki could clearly see Tanjiro's body was trembling constantly, he was obviously very scared...

Sighing indecisively, Tomooka Yoshie slowly raised the Hibiscus knife, then flashed his body and rushed towards Nezuko.

Tanjiro hurriedly hugged Nezuko, trying to protect Nezuko, but felt empty in his arms.

Tanjiro looked up again but found that Nezuko had been locked by Tomooka Yoshiyuki with one hand and controlled her wrist. She kept struggling in pain, but she failed to make Tomooka Yoshiyuki tremble at all.

Yoshieyu Tomooka's eyes were extremely calm: "My job is to kill ghosts. Your sister is a ghost, so I want to kill her."

Tanjiro stood up in panic and begged, "No, although Nezuko has become a ghost, she has never eaten anyone."

"There is still a smell in my home, violent, chaos..."

"That man must have killed everyone and turned Nezuko into this."

"That person should be killed. Nezuko is innocent."

Yoshiyuki Tomooka's hand holding the Hirano knife was slowly lifting it up.

"But she is a ghost."

Tanjiro's tears kept flowing. He was afraid that the person in front of him would kill Nezuko.

Tanjiro didn't want to lose Nezuko.

"No, I will save her, I will turn Nezuko into a human again."

Become a human again? Yoshiyuki Tomooka shook his head: "No, ghosts are ghosts, and it is impossible to become human again."

At the same time, the knife in his hand was a little closer to Nezuko.

No, he can't kill Nezuko.

Tanjiro shouted: "Go and look for it, even if there isn't, I will keep looking for a way, and I will definitely find a way to turn Nezuko into a human!"

However, Tomooka Yoshio no longer replied.
