~8 min read 1,480 words

"Nezuko, are you okay?"
Hearing Nezuko's voice, Tanjiro hurried forward and looked at his sister with concern.
Nezuko slowly opened her eyes, revealing her beautiful pink pupils.
Looking at his sister, Tanjiro had a relieved smile on his face.
"Great, you're awake."
"Ouch--!"
Before everyone could be happy, the expression of Nezuko, who had just woken up and was still confused, suddenly turned ferocious!
A "touch" sound!
The quilt was lifted, and Nezuko, who had turned into a ghost, suddenly jumped up and knocked down Tanjiro who was close at hand!
"Nezuko!"
Tanjiro obviously did not expect this unexpected turn of events. After being jumped by Nezuko, he suddenly exclaimed nervously.
Nezuko wanted to bite, but Tanjiro could only quickly take off the ax hanging on his waist and use the ax handle to block Nezuko's bite!
"Nezuko!"
surroundingSeeing this situation, the family members also exclaimed in surprise, looking at Nezuko who suddenly went crazy with anxious and at a loss what to do.
"This is... a ghost! Nezuko, has she become a ghost?"
Tanjiro tried his best to support Nezuko's body, and saw that his gentle sister in the past had a ferocious face now. What bit the ax handle was not human teeth, but the fangs of an evil spirit.
All of this was so unexpected, and Tanjiro was anxious and distressed that his sister had become like this.
"Grandpa Saburo is right, there are real ghosts in this world... Nezuko, she... is wrong! Nezuko is a human! She has been a human since she was born! But the smell is no longer the usual Nezuko!"
Tanjiro's hands holding both ends of the ax handle began to tremble, and his mind was rapidly thinking about what to do now.

Sudden!
He thought of Mr. Tomcat next to him.
Mother just said that it was Tom who defeated the evil spirits who attacked their home.
But now Nezuko has also become a ghost...!
"Master Tom! Please! Nezuko definitely doesn't mean any harm! Please don't take action!"
Tanjiro was really afraid that Tom Mu would kill Nezuko who turned into a ghost. Although he knew that there was no convincing power at the moment, he still begged loudly to Tom Mu for mercy.
Kamado Aoi and the others also realized this, unlike Tanjiro.
They had just seen the battle between Tang Mu and the Ghost King with their own eyes, and they knew how powerful Tang Mu was.
If Tang Mu really wanted to kill Nezuko, their family would definitely not be able to stop him.
Seeing the sincere looks from the Zaomen family, Tang Mu spread his cat's paws and said, "I'm just a harmless cat, and I won't do anything. However, my sister, I'll kiss you. There is: The girl's fingertips are so cute!
"Thank you... thank you."
Tanjiro breathed a sigh of relief.
But suddenly I feel that the pressure coming from my arms has increased a lot!
Tanjiro's expression that had just relaxed suddenly became tense again.
It turns out that Nezuko's body suddenly became bigger. What also increased year-on-year was her strength!
If this continues, Tanjiro will undoubtedly not be able to hold on for long.
"Nezuko! Come on! For our sake! You must not become a ghost!"
Tanjiro's eyes were already filled with tears. Looking at the ferocious-faced sister in front of him, he cried out!
"Nezuko!"
"Sister! Sister!"
Kamado Aoi's and Nezuko's younger brothers and sisters also rushed forward crying!
Completely ignoring the danger that Nezuko, who had turned into a ghost, would pose to them, they hugged their dearest family members with tears streaming down their faces.
"Come on! Come on!"
"Nezuko!"
Under the calls of the family, Nezuko gradually slowed down in biting Tanjiro.
A tear fell on Tanjiro's face.
"Nezuko..."
Tanjiro looked at Nezuko, whose face was filled with tears, and deeply felt the extreme sadness in his sister's heart.
"It looks like everything is fine. Nezuko is indeed special."
Tom Mu, who was standing aside, secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Nezuko stop moving.
He was also afraid that his arrival would change the plot and turn Nezuko into a man-eating evil spirit.
At present, it seems that I have been worrying too much. Nezuko's special physique will not disappear just because I change the plot.
"Tap"
At this moment, there was a faint sound of footsteps outside the house.
As a cat, Tom also has very keen hearing and can instantly detect someone approaching quickly.
"Crack!"
"Dang——!"
A figure flashed outside the door, and Tang Mu instantly drew his sword, which violently collided with the sudden slash of the sword!
After a brief struggle, the two sides staggered each other.
Until this moment, Tang Mu could clearly see the person coming outside the house.
It was a handsome man with long black hair, a cold face, and wearing feathers of different colors on the left and right sides.
"Tomioka Yoshiyuki."
"The cat raised in Butterfly House? Why are you here?"
The contemporary water pillar Tomioka Giyu held the Nichirin Sword and looked at Tom Mu with some surprise, and then at Nezuko who was protected by Tanjiro behind him.
He was preparing to attack Nezuko just now.
However, Tang Mu blocked it with his sword.
Until today, he had always thought that Tom was just a smarter cat.
But in the brief fight just now, Tomioka Yiyu also saw that Tomu was definitely not a simple cat.
Before Tang Mu could answer, Tomioka Giyuu continued: "Get out of the way, that girl has turned into a ghost."
"Nezuko is not an ordinary ghost. She has no ill intentions toward humans. You can't kill her."
Tang Mu shook his head and stood in front of Tomioka Giyu, without any thought of giving way: "You have killed so many ghosts, have you ever seen the ghost you just transformed like her?"
Tomioka Giyuu frowned and looked directly at Nezuko without saying a word.
At this time, Nezuko had completely suppressed her bloodthirsty desire, and even her body was still slowly shrinking.
Nezuko, who was hiding behind Tanjiro, poked her head out and looked at Tomioka Giyu with a scared and confused look.
Tanjiro and the others in the Kamado family were also a little nervous.
They saw that Tomioka Giyuu was also a ghost killer, and they were afraid that he would suddenly become violent.
But at this time, Master Tomu was already negotiating with Tomioka Yoshiyuki, soIt is not convenient for them to speak for the time being.
"But she is a ghost after all. We can't just let her wander outside."
Tomioka Giyuu is not good at words and does not know how to talk. After being exposed to him for a long time, he still gives people a dull feeling.
When ordinary people face a talking cat like Tom Mu, they will definitely be emotional and have various reactions.
But he was only focused on Nezuko who turned into a ghost.
"Nezuko was transformed into a ghost by Onimai Muzan, and she still retains her sanity and kindness towards humans, so she cannot be eliminated as an ordinary ghost. Her brother Tanjiro is also a very talented person. Maybe we can They recruited the Demon Slayer Squad to keep a close watch."
Tang Mu slowly put the Nichirin Sword back into its sheath, raised a cat face and looked at Tomioka Giyu.
It has been two years since he turned into a cat. If possible, Tom Mu doesn't want to talk so much, but sometimes necessary communication is still indispensable.
Tomioka Giyu looked at Tom Mu and then at the Kamado family. It was best to observe the traces left by the fighting around him. Finally, he slowly put away his sword. He looked at Tanjiro with blue pupils and said: " Go to the foot of Saagiri Mountain and find an old man named Rin Taki Sakonji."
"Just say that Tomioka Giyuu asked you to come. It doesn't matter if there is no sunshine now, but don't take your sister out to bask in the sun, otherwise she will die."
"Thank you for your help."
The Kamado family bowed gratefully to Tomioka Giyu.
Seeing this scene, Tomioka Yoshiyuki turned slightly sideways, a little embarrassed.
"You're a pretty nice person. I'll let you touch my flesh pad once."
Tang Mu felt that Tomioka Yiyu was very obedient, so he decided to give him a reward.
So he walked up to Tomioka Giyu and stretched out his cat paw to him, revealing the soft pink flesh pads.
"This is the highest honor I give you."
Tom smiled and showed his pointed teeth.
The post office will send the signing contract tomorrow. I don't know when it will arrive.
Because the distance is quite far, it will probably take a while to change the contract status.
