Controlling the Butterfly Effect from Demon Slayer

Before arriving at the basement, Hori Gaku knocked on the door.

Soon, the door opened.

After opening the door, what Hori Gaku saw was Yushiro's face, which looked like he was owed hundreds of dollars.

Although he had expected it, Hori Gaku still felt a little unhappy when he saw Yushiro's face.

Forget it, forget it, I won't bother with him.

Hori Gaku directly skipped Yushiro and walked into the basement. He saw Tamayo in a white coat busy in front of a pile of equipment, and felt a little apologetic:

"Excuse me, Miss Tamayo, am I disturbing you while you are working?" Tamayo raised her head from her study and gently answered Horitake:

"No, I'll be there soon. Please wait a moment, Mr. Horitake."

""Okay, Ms. Tamayo, I do have something very important to discuss with you."

Yushiro quietly walked to Horitake's side, looking at him warily, and said:

"What do you want to discuss with Master Tamayo? Could it be that after a good night's sleep, you changed your mind and started to have inappropriate thoughts about Master Tamayo?"

Glancing at Yushiro with a sidelong glance, Horitake said with disdain:

"Please don't be like a pet dog guarding its food, okay? I told you yesterday that I won't do anything to Miss Tamayo, so don't worry, don't treat me like a bad person."

"That's not necessarily true. The words of a scumbag like you are the most unreliable. I will not believe your promise. I must keep an eye on you. Lord Tamayo will be protected by me!"

"That's enough, Yushiro."

Whispering, the two of them quarreled a little more.

Eh? Why do I feel that the relationship between Horitake and Yushiro seems to have improved a lot? Is it my illusion?

Tamayo, who had stopped her research, came over at this time and was very happy to see Horitake and Yushiro"having a good chat". She smiled and said:

"It seems like you two are getting along well, so I feel relieved."

"Who gets along well with him?"Master Tamayo, please don't misunderstand me," Yushiro said excitedly to Tamayo,"Master Tamayo, you should also be careful. I suspect this guy is not good to you.……"

Hori Gaku smiled and calmly stepped on Yushiro to stop him from speaking.

Yushiro was like a rooster being strangled by the neck, his eyes widened, he said nothing, and his face began to turn pale.

Hori Gaku used a lot of force in this kick, because Yushiro was a ghost and had a strong self-healing ability, Hori Gaku took special care of him and cracked Yushiro's foot bones.

Then he silently withdrew his foot:

"Miss Tamayo, please don't worry about Yushiro. I have something important to discuss with you."

"Oh, sure, please come over here. There is also a place in the basement for rest and conversation."

Tamayo led Horigaku to the Japanese-style room for rest, and set out tea for them. The two sat opposite each other and talked.

Where was Yushiro? He endured the pain, holding back from shouting, pinching his feet and jumping several times on one leg. After a while, his fractured foot healed.

Then, Yushiro rushed to the Japanese-style room, sat down next to Tamayo, and looked at Horigaku with hostility.

He would never allow Lord Tamayo to be alone with this dangerous man!

Just like that, in a slightly funny atmosphere, Horigaku and Tamayo started a serious conversation:

"Ms. Tamayo, it is like this, I have a little brother, or I have a younger generation, named Tanjiro Kamado.

Unfortunately, Tanjiro's family was killed by Muzan Kibutsuji, and only his sister Nezuko Kamado survived and became a demon, surviving in a strange way.……"

Hori Gaku explained the matter of Nezuko to Tamayo in detail.

Hori Gaku ignored the fact that Nezuko had eaten the blue spider lily and did not mention it.

This and that, this and that...

After listening to Hori Gaku's story, Tamayo looked serious and thoughtful.

However, Yushiro's focus was not here at all. He suddenly realized something and pointed at Hori Gaku and exclaimed:

"I see! This Nezuko is one of your three targets, the junior you mentioned! I didn't expect she's also a ghost!

You actually fell in love with a ghost, you're really……"

Horitake burst into anger:

"Didn’t you also fall in love with a ghost? What qualifications do you have to criticize me!?

Yushiro’s face suddenly turned red, and he said in a panic:

"No, no, no... I don't like Master Tamayo, I admire you! Respect!"

"Did I say Miss Tamayo?"

Yushiro was sunk, unable to rise again, and fell silent.

"Really, every time I want to discuss some serious matters with Miss Tamayo, I always have to deal with Yushiro first."

Hori Gaku complained unhappily, and then simply said to Tamayo:

"I'll tell you the truth, Miss Tamayo, I really want to save Nezuko because I like her and want to marry her! And Nezuko's parents have entrusted Nezuko to me, I must take the responsibility of turning Nezuko back into a human!"

Tamayo understood:

"In other words... the point is, you want to turn Miss Nezuko back into a human?"

"That's right. I know Miss Tamayo has been doing research in this area for many years. I hope Miss Tamayo can help me! Please!"

Horitake asked Tamayo sincerely.

Tamayo said quickly:

"Mr. Horitake, you don't have to do this. It is our duty as doctors to cure diseases and save lives. As long as there is hope, I will do my best to help Miss Nezuko.

That... I heard you say that Nezuko will not actively hurt people, nor will she eat people. She just uses sleep to recover her strength."

"To be precise, Nezuko is sleeping, transforming her body so that she can recover her strength only by sleeping."

"Uh... How did you know about this, Mr. Horitake?"

Horitake pointed to his eyes:

"My eyes can see things that ordinary people can't see (Hori Gaku is almost tired of saying this), I can see Nezuko's current���body state."

Tamayo seemed amazed:

"I see, what a pair of magical eyes.

In that case, Miss Nezuko is a demon very similar to us. Yushiro and I can maintain our nature now, and we don't need to eat humans, we just need to drink a small amount of human blood.

But Miss Nezuko doesn't even need to drink blood, she just sleeps instead. Maybe she is a demon closer to humans than us.

Strange? How did Miss Nezuko do this? Is it the family bond you mentioned, Horitake?"

Looking at Tamayo who was deep in thought and doubt, Hori Gaku hesitated for a moment and decided not to reveal the fact that Nezuko had eaten the blue spider lily.

It was not that Hori Gaku did not believe Tamayo, but because this matter was of great importance.

Hori Gaku was on guard against Muzan Kibutsuji.

There are so many ghosts in the world, and their blood demon arts are more bizarre than each other. There are ghosts who can burrow underground and come out to act during the day. There might be ghosts who are good at intelligence, such as clairvoyance and clairaudience.

Although it sounds outrageous, it is not completely impossible.

Therefore, Hori Gaku cannot reveal this matter and must keep it in his heart. Once it is revealed, there is a possibility of exposure!

After thinking about it, Tamayo said to Hori Gaku embarrassedly:

"Sorry, Mr. Horitake, I can't draw any conclusions based on what you said, let alone help Miss Nezuko turn back into a human. I must diagnose Miss Nezuko myself, and it would be best if I had her blood for research."

"There is no way to do this now, because Nezuko is sleeping.

Nezuko has not yet completed her body transformation. Even if Miss Tamayo gets Nezuko's blood, it will not have much effect.

We need to wait for a while, more than a year, until Nezuko wakes up."
