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

Chapter 47 Returning the Earrings

With a dull thud, the wooden box behind Midouzi was suddenly kicked open.

Before Nezuko could react, Tanjiro suddenly popped out of the wooden box.

"elder brother?"

Midouzi exclaimed in surprise and was about to turn around when a figure rushed towards her from the darkness in front of her.

Mi Douzi's expression changed drastically, and he immediately drew his sword to block.

"clang--"

A pair of sharp claws slammed into the blade, and the brief sparks allowed Mizuko to clearly see the appearance of the demon before her.

Long green hair, jet-black eyes, and sharp fangs were staring at me mockingly.

"What a beautiful and fragrant little girl!"

The demon spoke in a shrill, mocking voice.

Because the incident happened so suddenly, Nezuko's Nichirin Blade was only halfway out before she had to hastily parry.

Midouzi gritted her teeth and stared at the evil spirit, then glanced behind her out of the corner of her eye.

That's when they discovered that there were three evil spirits in this small town.

Tanjiro's sudden kicking of the wooden box and rushing out just now was not an impulsive act at all.

Rather, it was because a demon was already quietly approaching from behind, waiting for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

At this moment, Tanjiro was locked in a fierce battle with the demon.

He fought against the ghost's brute force with only his fists and feet, his scarlet eyes filled with ruthlessness, and each punch he threw was accompanied by the sound of wind breaking.

They actually managed to fight that evil spirit to a standstill.

"Oh~?"

The demon that was suppressing the Beans raised an eyebrow and slowly drifted its gaze toward behind her.

When he saw Tanjiro's appearance clearly, he let out a playful exclamation.

"A demon hunter, he's actually with a demon with him?"

"Brother, this ghost is a bit different!"

On the other side, the demon who was fighting Tanjiro was forced back several steps and couldn't help but shout at the top of his lungs, his tone full of surprise and doubt.

"Little sister, I just heard you calling out...brother?"

The demon suppressing Mizuko slowly leaned forward, approaching Mizuko's face with a playful expression, and slowly spoke.

"Could he be your brother?"

Midouzi turned her face away with some disgust, anxiously pondering how to break the deadlock.

These two demons are extremely good at hiding; I didn't even notice them at first. What should I do now? I can't draw my Nichirin Blade. My brother should be alright!

Looking at the half-slug stuck in its sheath, Mizuko was frantically trying to think of a solution.

"Hmm? Not answering my question? Little girl, you're being a bit naughty!"

The green-haired demon looked at Nezuko without saying a word, then stepped forward again. The hands that had been controlling the Nichirin Blade suddenly sprouted another sharp claw from its body.

Mizuko stared at this scene in disbelief, and the force with which she drew her sword increased.

"Naughty little sister, you'll be eaten by me!"

The green-haired demon held Midouzi firmly in place, preventing him from drawing his knife, and then used his third hand to viciously grab at Midouzi's head.

When there was no way to avoid it, Midouzi's eyes suddenly turned cold.

She decisively released her grip on the Nichirin Blade, her waist bending sharply backward, her whole body like a taut bow, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow.

"Bang!"

The sharp claws slammed into the roof tiles, sending shards of broken pottery flying everywhere.

The demon looked at its empty claws, then glanced at the Nichirin Blade lying in its palm, a mocking smile curving its lips, and was about to speak.

"A demon slayer who can't even hold a sword... huh?"

The sarcastic words stuck in its throat, and its gaze suddenly froze.

Midouzi performed several backflips and landed steadily, then reached for the hilt of the knife on the other side of her waist.

"Why is there a knife too?!"

"Why is there another knife?"

The green-haired demon stared at Nidouzi in astonishment, completely unaware that she possessed another knife.

Brother, can I borrow your knife?

Midouzi silently recited the mantra, then took a deep breath.

"Water Breathing, Third Form: Flowing Dance!"

As Midouzi's soft shout fell, the next second, Midouzi's figure moved like a wave, drawing a deep blue silhouette in the darkness.

Before the evil spirit could react, they quickly closed the distance.

The demon reacted quickly, immediately mimicking the actions of humans, and drew Nezuko's Nichirin Blade to parry.

As Mizuko watched the demon attempt to block with his Nichirin Blade, he immediately changed his movement.

The strike, originally aimed at the demon's neck, was immediately reversed, and the demon's hands were neatly severed instead.

"Pfft—"

Two streaks of blood shot out, and the demon's hands, along with the Nichirin Blade it was holding, were thrown into the air.

The evil spirit was greatly alarmed and immediately jumped back.

Instead of pressing her advantage, Nezuko caught her own Nichirin Blade and then threw her brother's Nichirin Blade to Tanjiro.

"elder brother!"

As Nezuko shouted loudly, Tanjiro, who was fighting the demon, turned around and his eyes precisely locked onto the cold light that was cutting through the air.

Upon seeing this, the demon that was fighting him immediately tried to pounce on him and stop Tanjiro from taking the sword.

Tanjiro was prepared. He suddenly dodged the claws by sidestepping, then raised his knee and kicked the demon hard in the abdomen.

The demon grunted and flew backward. Tanjiro used the momentum to leap into the air and firmly grasped the hilt of his Nichirin Blade.

The moment he landed, he spun around and came to stand behind Mizuko. The two siblings stood back to back, their sharp eyes locked onto the two evil spirits standing in front of and behind them.

Nezuko gripped her Nichirin Blade tightly, watching as the green-haired demon's hands regenerated at a visible speed.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Tanjiro standing beside him, also holding a sword, confronting the demon on the other side.

I only taught Tanjiro some basic sword techniques, not breathing techniques. I'm not sure if he can master them either, so if necessary, he can help you with his sword.

Master Urokodaki's words echoed in her mind. Mizuko closed her eyes slightly, and the ultimate senses instantly unfolded.

He could clearly perceive the movements of the two demons, and even Tanjiro's breathing rhythm.

This is the first time I've fought alongside my brother... no, it should be the second. Brother, don't worry, I will never let them hurt you!

"Kill them! Tear them to pieces!"

The green-haired demon, overwhelmed by the humiliation and rage of having its hands severed, unleashed a deafening roar.

The moment the words left his mouth, the two evil spirits sprang up simultaneously and pounced on the brother and sister.

Just then, Tanjiro made the first move!

He stomped his foot hard on the ground, and with a fierce swing of his arm holding the Nichirin Blade, he slashed at the evil demon in front of him with the brute force of a demon.

Midouzi instantly caught her brother's movement, her breathing rhythm suddenly adjusted, and the blade in her hand immediately changed position.

"Water Breathing, Sixth Form: Twisting Vortex!"

A crisp sound rang out as azure waves carried sharp blades.

As Midouzi twisted her body, she resembled a swirling streak of light, slashing fiercely across the green-haired demon's head.

Without pausing, using the momentum of the twist, Nezuko spun like a vortex behind the demon that Tanjiro was fighting, and with the remaining force of her blade, she slashed down at its neck again!

Everything happened so fast that before the two evil spirits could react, their heads landed on the roof.

Tanjiro remained in the sword-wielding stance, his blood-red eyes staring blankly at Nezuko as she sheathed her sword.

"Brother, are you alright?"

Nezuko stepped over the dissipating corpse of the demon and came to Tanjiro.

Tanjiro put down his sword, shook his head, and his eyes were filled with surprise and shock.

Seeing her brother's surprised expression, Mizuko smiled, then, as if remembering something, took off the sun-shaped earring hanging from her ear.

"Brother, I can protect you now, so please, Lord Vulcan, bless you and help you return to normal quickly!"
