Demon Slayer: My breathing technique went awry after Nezuko pushed me down.

very scary!

He won't devour me, will he?

This is my most important ability to protect Miss Tamayo.

No! Absolutely not!

When asked this question, Shirakawa Yu smiled but did not give a clear answer.

"I don't know the specifics yet, but I'll use this guy's Blood Demon Art for now. It's pretty useful; it saves me from getting lost all the time~"

"Lost...lost?" Tanjiro's lips twitched.

He almost got killed by that ability just now!

Thinking about it this way, Tanjiro felt that his life had become even darker.

They couldn't beat them before, and they'll be even less able to fight back now.

"Wait! If you can do something like that!" Miss Tamayo's eyes suddenly lit up. "Then Muzan—"

"Stop!" Shirakawa Yu quickly reached out to stop him. "I know what you're thinking... but I'm telling you clearly, you can't!"

"I can't steal Muzan's Blood Demon Art just by taking a bite of him."

"First, what I need to eat is the key to the opponent's Blood Demon Art, such as his eyes. But Muzan... what is his core? Should I eat him whole?"

"Secondly, I can't swallow ghosts that are too strong. This bloodline isn't as heaven-defying as you think."

That's what they say, but Shirakawa Yu was just leaving himself a way out.

Deep down, he still harbored a longing for Muzan's Blood Demon Art.

He wasn't sure if Muzan's ability to turn blood into demons, as well as his control over his direct demons, curses, and mind reading, could be considered a branch of his own Blood Demon Art.

However, for Shirakawa Yu, who wants to establish a vampire clan in the future and become the ancestor of the vampires, these abilities are simply too convenient.

Now they're saying, "No way~ No way~"

But when he's strong enough in the future, he'll definitely try to take a piece of Muzan's flesh and taste its flavor.

Seeing that Tamayo was still silent, Shirakawa Yu coughed lightly and changed the subject, "Ms. Tamayo, there's no use thinking about these things now. The more important thing is... we need to leave here as soon as possible."

"Leave?" Tamayo was taken aback, then realized what she meant.

"Yes, we have to leave! It's no longer safe here!"

Without further hesitation, she quickly pulled out the needle and deftly began drawing blood samples.

Looking at Tamayo's beautiful face when she was serious, smelling her sweet peach scent, and feeling her softness pressed against my body...

Shirakawa Yu was a little drunk.

After Tamayo carefully collected the blood, she naturally noticed that Shirakawa Yu was staring at her intently.

With a flushed face, she whispered, "Mr. Kawabata...can you let me go now?"

"Ah...oh..." Shirakawa Yu reluctantly let go of her.

Then, savoring the moment, without even glancing at it, he casually chopped off the head of the Arrow Demon, which had long since lost its expression and spirit.

As Yahaba gradually turned to ashes, Shirakawa Yu turned around and came to Tanjiro's side.

He patted his junior brother, who was still staring at the "Yushiro pendant" on his chest, and said, "Alright, stop standing there, help pack your things, we need to leave."

Tanjiro: "But senior brother, your eyes..."

"Oh, this one." Shirakawa Yu blinked, his golden arrow-shaped pupils looking particularly eerie in the night. "Isn't he handsome?"

Tanjiro: "..." (￣ω￣;)

"Alright, it can't be eliminated for now, but it won't have any impact." Shirakawa Yu waved his hand. "Let's take care of business first."

......

Guided by Tamayo, Shirakawa Hare and Tanjiro (along with Yushiro, whose legs are slowly growing on his chest) arrived at the basement of this secluded mansion.

This place has been converted into a makeshift laboratory and prison.

The person imprisoned in the cell was none other than the Asakusa passerby who had been "casually" transformed by Muzan during the day.

When Bai Chuanyu saw the man in the cell, bound like a dumpling with ropes, screaming and struggling with red eyes, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

He pointed to the man with a thick beard and rugged features, then turned to ask Tamayo:

"Ms. Tamayo, after becoming a demon... will it cause you to grow a beard?"

Tamayo, who was organizing her expensive experimental equipment, looked up when she heard this and calmly replied:

"Normally not."

"Demonization will cause the body to grow mutated organs for combat, and the appearance may also change due to blood demon magic or personal obsession."

"But this gentleman... he is currently in the early stages of adapting to demonization, and his appearance should not change much in theory."

She paused, then added, "His current appearance is probably what he looked like before."

Shirakawa Yu: "..." Σ(°△°|||)︴

My heart... my heart is dead.

The "Asakusa passerby" in his memory was clearly a handsome young man with a gentle temperament!

The guy in front of me, with his thick hair, stubble, and bear-like appearance...

It's definitely not the "hard-control Muzan" bugged Blood Demon Art host he wanted!

"Tsk..." Bai Chuanyu clicked his tongue in disappointment, his last glimmer of hope shattered.

It seems that plot changes do exist, and not all "famous scenes" will be reproduced exactly as they were.

Oh well, if I get it, I'm lucky; if I lose it, it's my fate.

Arrow Demon's Crimson Arrow is also good; it's highly practical and can be used in many different ways.

However, without the blood thorns of the Asakusa passerby, it is clear that replicating the original plot's method of killing Muzan is no longer feasible.

Moreover, Shirakawa Yu was also reluctant to let Tamayo be devoured by Muzan.

Ultimately, it's best to understand the storyline you've changed yourself.

......

After quickly packing up the necessary items and research results, Tamayo and Yushiro (finally freed from Tanjiro's grasp) prepared to move with their meager belongings.

Inside the mansion, night had fallen.

Tamayo handed Tanjiro several small, delicate devices that looked like specially made syringes.

"Tanji-kun, please keep this safe."

Her voice was gentle. "If we encounter a powerful enemy with a lot of Muzan's blood in the future, we can use it to collect blood samples. It can automatically collect a small amount of blood by piercing the opponent's skin, which is very convenient."

Tanjiro accepted the gift with both hands and thanked her sincerely, "Thank you, Ms. Tamayo!"

Tamayo smiled slightly, her gaze falling on Nezuko, who was being led by the hand by Shirakawa Yu and looking around curiously.

She hesitated for a moment, then spoke softly, "Tanji-kun, Kawabata-kun, about Nezuko... I have a suggestion."

Tanjiro: "Please speak."

“If you’re comfortable with this…” Tamayo looked into Nezuko’s pink eyes, “would you consider letting Nezuko stay with me for the time being?”

Chapter 48 I'm not leaving, I want to live together!

"Huh?"

Tanjiro was stunned when he heard that Tamayo wanted to keep Nezuko.

Yushiro jumped up immediately, "Miss Tamayo! This won't do! We still need to move, and we still need to evade Muzan's pursuit. It'll be so inconvenient to take her along..."

Tamayo raised her hand, signaling Yushiro to calm down.

She continued speaking to Tanjiro, "I don't mean to separate you two siblings. It's just that Nezuko's situation is very special. She can recover without eating people, and can even retain some of her humanity and memories."

"This might be the key to unlocking the mystery of how ghosts can turn back into humans."

“By keeping her by my side, I can more easily observe her physical changes and try to analyze the root cause of her unusual condition.”

"At the same time... it will also better protect her! After all... you two are ultimately members of the Demon Slayer Corps, and the Demon Slayer Corps' attitude towards demons..."

Tanjiro opened his mouth, his face filled with conflict and reluctance.

Should I get Nezuko away from me?

It felt like a piece of his flesh was being cut off.

But Ms. Tamayo is right. Nezuko's special characteristics need to be studied in depth; this might truly be the hope of turning her back into a human...

Just as Tanjiro was having an internal struggle, and Yushiro was frantically scratching his head and looking like he was saying, "No, no, Miss Tamayo!"...

"Then stay."

Shirakawa Yu's calm voice rang out.

Tanjiro Σ(っ°Д°;)っ: "Hey!?"

Yushiro (╬◣д◢): "Huh!?"

Shirakawa Yu ruffled Nezuko's hair and looked at Tanjiro: "I know you're worried about Nezuko. Don't worry—"

He grinned, revealing a set of white teeth.

“I’ll stay here with her too.”

Yushiro: "!!!!!!!"

This time, Yushiro wasn't just stunned; he was completely dumbfounded, insane, and so terrified that his expression collapsed, as if he had witnessed the end of the world!

"You! You! You! You! You! You! Are you kidding me?! Who gave you permission to stay?! This is our place! Our research! My and Ms. Tamayo's home! What does it have to do with you?!"

Crisis!!! Major crisis!!!

This little girl is one thing!

This man!
