Chapter 245

Back then, it was under his introduction.

That Tanjiro went to study under Master Urokodaki.

Come to think of it, Tanjiro and Giyu Tomioka were fellow disciples.

Tanjiro saw the other person and greeted him very respectfully, "Mr. Tomioka." After all, Giyu Tomioka had saved his life.

And he had introduced him to Master Urokodaki, plus the relationship of being fellow disciples.

Tanjiro was still very respectful toward his senior.

Giyu Tomioka looked at Tanjiro calmly. "Who are you?"

"Where is the demon here?"

???

Tanjiro was full of question marks at this moment.

What is going on with Mr. Tomioka?

He actually doesn't recognize me??

Although it had been a few years since he last met Giyu Tomioka.

And he had only met him once before.

But he had interacted with him, and they were fellow disciples.

Yet Giyu Tomioka didn't recognize him??

Although it was a bit awkward, Tanjiro still didn't say anything impolite.

"Uh..."

He introduced himself very earnestly: "I am Tanjiro Kamado."

At this time, Giyu Tomioka saw Nezuko with the bamboo muzzle in her mouth.

In an instant, he remembered the Kamado siblings.

After all, a combination like them, a human with a demon, was quite rare.

Moreover, back then when he wanted to kill Nezuko, Tanjiro had stepped forward.

When Giyu Tomioka wanted to repel Tanjiro who was blocking him.

Nezuko had protected Tanjiro, who was a human.

It was precisely because of this that Giyu Tomioka hadn't killed Nezuko back then.

And even tied the bamboo muzzle on her.

Now, seeing them.

Giyu Tomioka also remembered Tanjiro Kamado’s identity.

"It’s you two..."

Giyu Tomioka showed a surprised expression. "To be able to hold on until now, that’s quite good." Speaking of this, he looked at Karl with some surprise.

Because the clothes Karl was wearing were not the Demon Slayer Corps uniform.

However, there were no traces of a demon on Karl either.

So he just regarded Karl as an ordinary person.

Hmm, and a rather lucky ordinary person at that.

Thus, he didn't pay too much attention.

Giyu Tomioka asked directly: "Where is the demon here?"

"Why did it suddenly disappear?"

"Ah..."

Tanjiro heard this and responded, "That demon..."

As a result, before he could finish speaking.

Many butterflies were suddenly fluttering around.

A black shadow rushed out from the forest.

The target was Nezuko Kamado. ?

"So fast!"

Tanjiro thought to himself that it was bad.

He had been too busy chatting with Giyu Tomioka just now, and now it was too late to dodge.

However, he still stood in front of Nezuko without hesitation.

Giyu Tomioka saw this and immediately drew his sword, clashing with the blade of that figure.

"Hmm?"

After clashing with Giyu Tomioka, the person landed not far away.

"Why are you blocking me, Tomioka?"

"Didn't you say you can't get along with demons?"

"Why is this?"

"It’s precisely because of this that everyone hates you."

Saying this, the person turned around.

Black hair, purple eyes, and purple hair tips.

Wearing a haori with a butterfly pattern.

Shinobu Kocho.

"It’s precisely because of this that everyone hates you."

Shinobu Kocho stood not far away and said, "Tomioka, please step aside."

"I..."

Giyu Tomioka responded calmly, "I am not hated by anyone."

???

Tanjiro was very shocked watching this scene.

Even Karl was watching with great interest.

Originally, he had intended to leave once the mission was completed.

But he discovered someone approaching.

It was Giyu Tomioka.

Karl thought about the plot of Demon Slayer.

After the plot of Mt. Natagumo.

Tanjiro and his group were taken back to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters.

Because Tanjiro was carrying Nezuko, a demon.

So many people at headquarters wanted to judge Tanjiro.

Which was to accept the so-called Hashira trial.

Because they had seen many evil demons, most Hashira did not agree to let Nezuko Kamado live.

In the end, it was only thanks to the guarantee of the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps that they were safe.

However, the performance of several Hashira in the middle was really unpleasant.

The reason Karl didn't leave was to see if the Hashira here would do what he remembered.

If they really did what happened in the plot, Karl felt it would be quite interesting.

If someone is actively looking for death, how could it not be interesting?

As for now, just wait and see.

"Ah, is that so."

Shinobu Kocho looked apologetic. "You don't know you're hated..."

"I spoke out of turn, I’m really sorry."

!!!

Hearing this, Giyu Tomioka’s expression changed slightly.

Tanjiro had a very shocked expression.

Shinobu Kocho looked indifferent and shouted to Tanjiro, "Little brother." Tanjiro immediately responded, "Yes!"

"The one in your arms is a demon, it’s very dangerous."

"Please stay away from her."

"No, that’s not it," Tanjiro explained, "Uh... actually, that’s not wrong either."

"That... this is my sister."

"My sister turned into a demon, so..."

"Ah?"

"So that’s how it is, how pitiful."

Shinobu Kocho showed a sympathetic expression on her face. "I will kill her with a gentle poison, it won't make her suffer." !!

Tanjiro heard this and looked like he didn't know what to say.

Although the other person’s tone was very gentle, what she said truly shocked him.

At this time, Giyu Tomioka whispered: "It looks like you haven't been hurt much." "Run away with your sister."

"I will block her for you."

"Thank you!"

Saying this, Tanjiro pulled Nezuko and fled quickly.

After all, the fact that he was carrying a demon had been discovered.

Tanjiro knew.

In the Demon Slayer Corps, not everyone could accept Nezuko.

After all, Nezuko is a demon.

Tanjiro panicked and ran away directly with his sister.

Karl saw this scene and felt a bit helpless.

In fact, they didn't have to run.

After all, he was here.

However, since Tanjiro had already run, he might as well be a bystander.

The other party shouldn't be in any danger.

If there is danger.

Then it must be that the person looking for trouble doesn't want to live anymore.

"..."

Shinobu Kocho was a bit surprised to see this scene, and she said with a smile: "This violates the corps rules, right?" She didn't expect.

Giyu Tomioka, who usually didn't interact much with others.

Would actually violate the corps rules because of a demon.

Shinobu Kocho held her sword and chased in the direction Tanjiro had fled.

However, she was blocked by Giyu Tomioka.

Shinobu Kocho tentatively swung her sword at the other person.

Unexpectedly, Giyu Tomioka also swung his sword.

"Clang!"

The two swords collided.

"Tomioka, are you serious?"

Shinobu Kocho still couldn't believe this fact, "I didn't expect a Hashira would protect a demon." After all, Giyu Tomioka was one of the nine Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps.

It could be said that he was one of the most powerful and highest-ranking swordsmen.

The number of evil demons he had killed was countless.

Such a person was now actually shielding a demon.

Whoever it was, they wouldn't be able to believe it.

"..."

Giyu Tomioka remained silent.
