Demon Slayer: The Demon King is actually a weak girl?!

"Okay." Xiyue's expression became more serious. "Since everyone regards Muzan Kibutsuji as an enemy and shares the same hatred, then the enemy of my enemy can temporarily become an ally."

Tamayo nodded and continued, "I no longer eat humans. I changed my physique through drugs, and I only need to drink a small amount of blood to survive. Yushiro is the demon I turned into two hundred years ago. He has never eaten humans, and he needs less blood than me.

"Of course, I asked for Yushiro's consent when he was terminally ill and turned him into a ghost. Including the blood we bought, we also got their consent and it will not harm their health."

"What? Two hundred years ago?" Tanjiro was extremely surprised. "Then how old are you, Miss Tamayo?"

Yushiro pointed at Tanjiro and said angrily, "Hey, kid! It's rude to casually ask a lady's age!"

“…I’m sorry.” Tanjiro fell silent.

"I see." Xiyue looked at Tamayo with a little more respect, "You have worked hard all along."

Being a ghost, yet being able to achieve such a level, how much willpower does it take?

Nezuko didn't understand what they were saying at all. She just held her chubby cheeks, rolled on the floor with a smile, and swung her two little white legs.

Muzan grabbed Nezuko's ankles and clapped her feet with the soles of her feet, making a popping sound, which made Nezuko giggle.

"Hee hee hee……"

"Nezuko..." Tanjiro looked at them helplessly, "Don't be so rude."

"Hehehe..." Nezuko didn't understand and continued to giggle.

"..." Tanjiro helplessly raised his forehead.

Tamayo smiled and said, "It's okay."

Although she is a demon, she still retains the will of a human. To some extent, Nezuko is the second person of her kind in this world besides Yushiro.

Tanjiro suddenly thought of something: "By the way, Ms. Tamayo, since you can transform your own body, do you know if there is a way to turn a demon into a human?"

Tamayo was stunned for a moment, then said, "There must be a way. As long as there is an illness, there must be a corresponding method to cure it. It just depends on whether that method can be found. Nezuko overcame Muzan Kibutsuji's control with her own willpower, so I think she must have some special physique that is rare in a thousand years."

"Really? That's great." Hope rekindled in Tanjiro's eyes.

Whenever he asked this question, he always got a negative answer. Tamayo was the only one who gave a positive answer.

"I need some Nezuko's blood." said Tamayo.

Tanjiro agreed without hesitation and immediately asked Tamayo to take his blood.

Tamayo took out the props and pierced the sharp needle into Nezuko's little wrist. The bright red blood slowly filled the entire syringe.

Tamayo carefully collected the blood and said, "That's all."

"Thank you, Ms. Tamayo!"

Tanjiro felt that the dawn of victory was not far away!

"Speaking of which, pardon my intrusion," Tamayo asked hesitantly, "are you... willing to leave Nezuko with me?"

“…Huh?” Tanjiro’s smile faded.

Tamayo explained, "It would be dangerous if she fought with you, it would be safer for her to follow me."

"Too……"

Tanjiro was silent.

It is indeed dangerous for Nezuko to follow him. For example, when Nezuko was electrocuted today, she was in great pain and he was almost scared to death.

Beside him, Muzan touched Nezuko's little head, raised his head and interrupted: "But Nezuko is a ghost, and those ghosts can't kill her when Tanjiro is on a mission."

"That's true." Xiyue touched her chin and smiled.

——Not only is she unkillable, but Nezuko can also lend a helping hand to Tanjiro.

Even, it was hard to figure out who was holding whom back.

Muzan also smiled and thought: "I was counting on Nezuko to burn Tanjiro's little universe when she was in danger."

The smiles of the two women, Muzan and Shiozuki, were "shrewd and calculating", only Nezuko's smile was pure and innocent.

"Nezuko," Muzan poked Nezuko's little face, "Are you willing to separate from Tanjiro? Your brother won't take you with him anymore, so you will live alone in this aunt's house from now on, okay?"

"Auntie?!" Yushiro was so angry that his face turned green when he heard Muzan call him that.

Nezuko blinked her big pink eyes in confusion, then twisted her eyebrows and shook her head vigorously to express her strong resistance.

Muzan spread his hands to Tanjiro: "See, she doesn't want to."╮( ??w?? )╭

"Nezuko..." Tanjiro looked at his sister, his eyes moving slightly.

Xiyue also said to Tanjiro: "Don't worry, Nezuko will be fine. She is a ghost, those ghosts can't kill her."

"Okay..." Tanjiro looked at Tamayo again and said solemnly, "I have decided that we should not separate, because we are brother and sister!"

"I see……"

Yushiro snorted disdainfully: "What a sister-con, so clingy."

Tanjiro: “…”

"Yushiro." Tamayo called Yushiro in a serious tone.

Yushiro immediately straightened his back: "Yes! I mean, what a touching brother-sister relationship!"

Crowd: "..."

……

I have stayed in the Zhu family for a long time, it's time to leave.

Xiyue touched the small bag and wanted to pay for Tamayo's medical treatment, but Tamayo refused to accept it. She said that they also provided precious Nezuko's blood, which provided important materials for her research.

However, Xiyue insisted on giving money.

After some pushing and pulling, Yushiro finally took the money.

"Be careful, in addition to normal ghosts, there are also ghosts who like to play tricks on people." Tamayo reminded them, "I was once tricked by a ghost in Asakusa. The other party used blood ghost magic to move me to the rice field, causing Yushiro and I to fall and be embarrassed. To be cautious, we had to move in the end."

Muzan pursed her lips tightly, trying hard to hold back the laughter that was about to burst out. The next second, she widened her eyes and said indignantly: "What kind of wicked ghost is this? It's so abominable, this must be Muzan's doing!"

Tamayo shook her head: "Impossible. If it was Muzan, he would have killed me long ago. There is no way he would have spared my life. Because he has been chasing me..."

After telling them how she had worked for Muzan and then betrayed him, Tamayo finally gave them a mission.

"Go collect the blood of the demons. The higher the concentration, the better. Every demon has the blood of Muzan Kibutsuji flowing in its body."

"Oh, didn't we miss one today?" Wuzan said regretfully.

"It doesn't matter." Tamayo said calmly, "The blood concentration of those ordinary demons is very low. It would be best if it is the blood of the Twelve Demon Moons. That would be even better. The Twelve Demon Moons are the direct subordinates of Muzan Kibutsuji. The method to identify them is very simple. There are numbers engraved in their eyeballs."

"Oh, I know that." Muzan crossed his arms and nodded seriously.

"Ms. Tamayo," Xiyue stepped forward and asked, "In fact, you can cooperate with the Insect Pillar of our Demon Slayer Corps. Her name is Shinobu Kocho, and she is a doctor who creates toxins that can kill demons. She is very capable."

After a flash of shock in her eyes, Tamayo's expression slowly calmed down: "Okay,... I'll consider it."

***

A few people said goodbye to Zhushi. The sky was turning pale and the morning light was about to burst out.

Zishuang flew back into Xiyue's hands: "Haha, I have already reported it to the lord!"

"Thank you, Zishuang." Xiyue smiled and touched Zishuang's head, "What is the next task?"

Zishuang babbled and told the location of the next mission.

"Then I will go to do the mission first."

Xiyue smiled at Muzan and Tanjiro, then turned around. The crest of the Kujo family embroidered on her haori shone brightly in the morning light.

"Da da da……"

Xiyue left first, wearing snow-white boots.

Only Muzan and Tanjiro were left there.

Muzan placed his palm horizontally in front of his forehead and looked into the distance: "Strange, Tanjiro, where is your crow?"

Just as she finished asking, she saw two black birds flying over with their wings spread.

Tanjiro pointed at them and shouted, "Xiao Wu, over there!"

Wuzan's eyes turned into half-moon eyes: "..."

That is to say, is there a possibility that she also saw it?

Birds came closer and closer, and Tanjiro's crow - Tennouji Matsuemon returned in domineering style, with a crow with a red beak following him.

And that crow with a red beak was none other than Muzan's crow - Matsuo Ri.

Matsuo Ri flew in front of Muzan and said, "Xiao Wu, why are you here?"

Wuzan immediately turned the tables: "Ah, it's the cute Xiaosong, where have you been? I couldn't find you, so don't run around next time, okay?"

Matsuo Ri was speechless: "Didn't you ask me to get help?"

"That's right, thank you, Komatsu." Muzan smiled sweetly at Matsuo Ri.

"..." Matsuo Ri frowned and didn't look at her, "You should just call me Matsuo Ri."

Then, it suddenly reacted——

Wait, that's not right, is this the main point? !

But the topic has passed, and it seems inappropriate to bring it up again now. After all, Xiao Wu has already thanked her like that.

Matsuo Ri fell into a violent and tangled internal mode.

Finally, it was the crow's cry from Tennoji that pulled Matsuo Ri out of her thoughts: "Tanjiro, Xiao Wu, the latest mission, kill the ghost if there is one!"
