Demon Slayer: Tanjiro becomes a ghost, Nezuko becomes a pillar!

Chapter 60 Cleansing the Toxins

When Tanjiro's explosive flames erupted from his palm and enveloped Nezuko.

Tamayo and Yushiro both looked up at Tanjiro in surprise.

Is he insane?

Is he going to eat his own sister?

Tamayo and Yushiro were filled with shock as they speculated in their hearts.

At this moment, Tanjiro's forehead was covered with large beads of cold sweat, which slid down his cheeks and landed on Nezuko's pale hand.

He gritted his teeth, his brows furrowed, and his entire body tense.

[We must succeed... Neidouzi, hang in there a little longer, please don't let anything happen!]

He screamed inwardly, every nerve stretched to its limit, desperately trying to control the temperature of the flames in his palm.

The flames, which appeared intense and scorching to others, were now suppressed by him to be as gentle as warm water, steadily enveloping Mi Douzi's wounds and burning away the spreading toxins inch by inch.

Tamayo and Yushiro also noticed that the toxins in Nezuko's wound were gradually decreasing.

"it works!"

Tamayo's face instantly lit up with joy, and she exclaimed in surprise.

Yushiro, standing beside Tanjiro, was surprised that Tanjiro's flames could actually work, and could only think to himself.

What kind of monster is this guy?!

Tanjiro was overjoyed to see that his Blood Demon Art had not harmed Nezuko and was actually burning away the toxins remaining in Nezuko's body.

As the flames continued to burn, the pain on Midouzi's face gradually eased, a trace of color returned to her pale cheeks, and her breathing became steady.

Once the last bit of poison was completely burned away, Tanjiro breathed a sigh of relief and put away his Blood Demon Art.

Tamayo quickly examined Nezuko's body and found that apart from being exhausted and unconscious, there were no other toxins remaining. She then told Tanjiro the news.

"Miss Nezuko's poison has been completely cleared away, Tanjiro, you can rest assured now!"

"Very good!"

Tanjiro breathed a long sigh of relief after hearing Tamayo's confident words.

After they had settled the beans, they sat down.

During this time, Tamayo became overly curious about Tanjiro's demon transformation and presumptuously collected Tanjiro's blood.

During Tamayo's research, Yushiro also told Tanjiro about the origin of the Twelve Demon Moons and how to use Blood Demon Arts.

Tanjiro was also completely confused, but fortunately, he gained a general understanding of how to use them and the strength of the Twelve Demon Moons.

As night fell, Tanjiro stayed by Nezuko's side, watching her work hard to protect him.

Those hands, which used to play and frolic with my younger siblings and mend clothes, have become rough and calloused.

Tanjiro looked at Nezuko's sleeping profile with great tenderness and spoke gently.

"Don't worry, Midouzi, I'll protect you!"

Midouzi's eyebrows twitched slightly, as if she had heard her brother's words, and she slowly fell into a deeper sleep.

Just then, Tamayo led Yushiro out of the laboratory and slowly walked up to Tanjiro.

Tanjiro suddenly stood up, his eyes filled with urgency and tension, and blurted out the question.

"How is it, Miss Tamayo?"

Tanjiro also wanted to know if he could turn back into a human, so he asked nervously.

Seeing his anxious expression, Tamayo slowly shook her head, her tone grave.

"Judging from the changes in your body, Muzan injected you with blood far exceeding that of ordinary demons, which is why you have a terrifying regenerative ability comparable to that of an Upper Moon demon."

But I still can't explain how you suppressed Muzan's cells and broke free from his control.

Logically speaking, the more blood injected, the stronger Muzan's control would be; you should have become his most loyal puppet.

After hearing Tamayo's words, Tanjiro looked blankly at his hands.

"Perhaps you're more suited to be a demon than Muzan!"

Looking at Tanjiro's bewildered expression, Yushiro spoke with disdain.

Upon hearing Yushiro's words, Tanjiro suddenly looked up and said, "No, I can't become a demon and become a burden to Nezuko."

"Yushiro, you can't say that!" Tamayo also turned around and rebuked Yushiro for his words.

"Yes, Miss Tamayo!"

Although Yushiro disregarded Tanjiro's words, he was completely obedient to Tamayo.

Tamayo turned to look at Tanjiro, her expression softening, and her tone becoming serious.

"However, it's not entirely hopeless. Your body has an extremely strong resistance to Muzan's cells; as long as we find the key, there's definitely a way to restore you. If you don't mind, could you allow me to continue studying your blood?"

Upon hearing this, Tanjiro nodded emphatically without the slightest hesitation.

Tamayo was slightly taken aback: "You trust me that much?"

"I believe you," Tanjiro said firmly.

Tamayo paused, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes: "Hmm?"

"Because I can smell that Ms. Tamayo genuinely wants to help me."

[Smell it?!]

Upon hearing those two words, Yushiro instantly flew into a rage, clenching his fist and punching Tanjiro hard in the stomach without saying a word, roaring furiously.

"You pervert! How dare you sniff Miss Tamayo like that! You bastard, you weirdo!"

"Hmm!"

Tanjiro bent over in pain, clutching his stomach and crying out in grievance.

"It's not what you think! It's my sense of smell... I just have a more sensitive sense of smell than most people!"

"That's enough, Yushiro!" Tamayo frowned helplessly as she tried to mediate, reaching out to stop Yushiro from throwing another punch. "Tanjiro-sensei meant no harm; he just has a special constitution."

Yushiro angrily withdrew his hand, still glaring fiercely at Tanjiro, muttering, "A pervert is a pervert!"

Just then, Mi Douzi on the bed suddenly let out a soft groan, her long eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes.

"Nezuko!" Tanjiro instantly forgot his pain and rushed to the bedside, his voice filled with both anxiety and joy, "You're awake? How are you feeling? Is anything bothering you?"

Ni Douzi blinked, saw her brother clearly, weakly tugged at the corners of her mouth, and spoke in a soft, hoarse voice.

"Brother...I'm alright."

Zhu Shi quickly stepped forward to check, placing her fingertips on Mizuko's pulse, and breathed a sigh of relief after a moment.

"He's recovering very well."

"Thank you, Ms. Tamayo, but... we couldn't get their blood!"

Midouzi, somewhat weak, propped herself up and said apologetically.

All three of them were stunned for a moment. Tamayo also didn't expect that Nezuko would still remember this matter.

Tanjiro also remembered this and scratched his head awkwardly.

"They're already discarded Lower Moons, their blood is useless!" Yushiro said dismissively.

"I see!" Mizuko was slightly taken aback, but then she felt relieved.

Tamayo looked out the window; the sky was beginning to lighten. She glanced at the messy room and said softly.

"It's almost dawn, and Yushiro and I can't use this house anymore."

She turned to Tanjiro, her tone sincere: "Mr. Tanjiro, you can't be in the light either, so... why don't you come with us?"

Tanjiro and Nezuko both looked over, while Yushiro, standing to the side, was even more shocked, his eyes wide open, as if he couldn't believe that Tamayo would take the initiative to invite the two siblings to come along.

Tanjiro and Nezuko exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with warmth, then smiled and gently shook their heads, politely declining Tamayo's suggestion.

Upon seeing this, Yushiro immediately let out a long sigh of relief, his tense shoulders slumped instantly, and he looked completely relieved.

"I understand." Tamayo nodded knowingly, her tone solemn yet filled with concern. "Tanjiro, Nezuko, you two must take good care of yourselves. I will study your blood as soon as possible and find a way to restore you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the morning light on the horizon grew stronger. Tamayo, with Yushiro by her side, hurriedly left the house before the sun rose.

Only the brother and sister remained in the room. Midouzi looked at the increasingly bright sky outside the window and slowly got up, leaning against the wall.

"Brother, hurry up and get into the box, I'll carry you."

After regaining his full rationality, Tanjiro was unwilling to let his sister suffer any longer, and hesitated upon hearing this.

Midouzi instantly saw through his thoughts, a warm and gentle smile appeared on her lips, and she softly comforted him.

"Don't worry, brother is very gentle, just as gentle as Rokuta..."
