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

Sanemi, his eyes filled with tears, stared blankly at the figure before him...

He murmured softly...

"Mother......"

Chapter 85 Nangong Wenya, whoever he touches is a fool!

"Mom?...Mom!?"

The pillars looked at each other in bewilderment.

At their level and with their experience, very few things could shock them so much.

That one word, "Mom,"... it worked!

That's Sanemi Shinazugawa!

The most irritable troublemaker in the Demon Slayer Corps.

Sound Pillar Uzui Tengen deliberately glanced at Mitsuri beside him, confirming, "Was he just calling for his mother?"

Millie covered her mouth, her eyes sparkling as she nodded frantically.

I was screaming inside my head, "The contrast between Sanemi-san and her usual self is so cute!"

To the side, Kyojuro Rengoku stared wide-eyed, mouth agape; the hot-blooded youth simply couldn't comprehend this turn of events.

The one with the strongest reaction was the heavily pregnant woman with bandages, Xiaobanai.

Upon hearing Shinazugawa Sanemi call out "Mama," he was first stunned, then let out a furious shout.

"Those cookies were poisoned! Sanemi's been poisoned and gone mad!!!"

"Protect our lord!!!"

Ignoring his injuries, he drew his knife and dashed towards the eaves.

The next second...

Duang~!

A cylinder wrapped in bandages was swung backhand and hit Obanai in the face.

"You're the one who's been poisoned and gone mad!"

Obanai covered her bright red face, staring at Shinazugawa in disbelief.

He was wary of Nezuko, wary of Shirakawa Yu, and wary of the unseen arrow.

The only thing they didn't guard against was Sanemi Shinazugawa!

That bastard!!! He ambushed me for a ghost!?

"My affairs are none of anyone else's business."

Sanemi glanced at him sideways. From his slightly exposed profile, it was clear that Fiery Chili's face was as red as a real chili pepper.

"You think I want to take care of you?!" Obanai covered her nose, glared fiercely at Sanemi, and then glared at Shirakawa Yu as well.

Then he came to Kagaya Ubuyashiki and bowed respectfully.

"My apologies, my lord..."

"Ah? Oh... It's alright, little Banana."

Hearing this somewhat perfunctory reply, Obanai looked up, her worldview shattered once again.

The usually calm, wise, and gentle lord now had a strange expression.

Zheng and his two daughters, who both had the same "I've been hit" expression, huddled together and whispered to each other.

Unfortunately, Kagaya Ubuyashiki simply couldn't see it.

He was so curious about what had just happened to transform his pillar of wind from a raging fury into a docile baby in the blink of an eye...

Right now, he was listening to his two daughters, each taking turns explaining the situation.

There's no time to worry about Xiaobanai.

Obanai Iguro, her whole body was tanned.

He was shrouded in a suffocating atmosphere, like an invisible nobody, silently walking down the steps and back into the group.

It seems... nobody needs me...

Under the eaves.

Shirakawa Yu, trying not to laugh, looked at the blushing Shinazugawa.

Shinazugawa looked at the adorable Nezuko with an awkward gentleness.

Nezuko, tilting her little head, looked at Shirakawa Yu's shoulder.

Bai Chuanyu knew what the little girl wanted to do, so he put his hands under her armpits and lifted her above his head.

During the process, Nezuko kept shrinking, and then Shirakawa Yu placed her on his shoulder and sat on his neck.

She held Shirakawa Yu's head in her hands, rested her chin on his head, and blinked her pink eyes at Shinazugawa Sanemi.

Looking at the tiny bean, no bigger than a doll, Shinazugawa's lips twitched slightly.

I have finally emerged from my memories of my mother.

But when he met Shirakawa Yu's mocking gaze, a vein bulged on his forehead again.

His face turned as red as a monkey's bottom, and his teeth were grinding together.

But for some reason, even though he was so embarrassed and angry, he didn't seem to want to explode.

At least, not in front of her...

Taking a deep breath, Shinazugawa stopped the bleeding while trying to calm himself down.

"You... Nezuko doesn't eat people."

His voice was very low, as if it were being squeezed out from between his teeth.

"But the other two ate quite a lot!"

Shirakawa Yu smiled and twirled Little Bean's dangling toes with her fingers as she spoke.

"I won't eat it anymore."

"You think you can just stop eating like that?"

Sanemi frowned. "What? You think Nezuko can resist the temptation of rare blood, so those two demons can too?"

"So, you also think Nezuko's special nature deserves special treatment, huh?"

Shirakawa Yu raised an eyebrow, a smile playing on his lips. "Now, do you still intend to kill Nezuko?"

Kill Nezuko!?

Upon hearing this, Shinazugawa panicked instantly and hurriedly looked up at her.

Upon realizing that she seemed to understand what he was saying, she nervously clasped her two little hands together, and a hint of fear showed in her big eyes.

Shinazugawa panicked, "When did I ever say I was going to kill Nezuko!? I...I just...anyway...I never said that!"

Quiet.

The entire room fell silent.

"Pfft~!"

It's Mitsuri.

She couldn't help but laugh out loud.

This time, instead of covering her mouth, she laughed so hard she bent over, her braids hanging down to the ground.

"S, Smimasai—!"

She laughed and apologized at the same time, tears streaming down her face from laughing.

Looking at the bright red, fiery chili peppers, Shirakawa Yu shook his head.

Everything that was happening at that moment was also beyond his expectations.

He knew that Tanjiro was a little sun, with the ability to warm those around him and even demons.

Little did they know that Nezuko was actually the one who, "Nangong Wenya, touches anyone and makes them stupid."

He rolled his eyes and looked up.

Little Bean was perched on his head, her two little hands tightly gripping his hair.

Feeling his gaze, she lowered her head and made a soft "hmm?" sound.

Feeling a little guilty, Shirakawa Yu took Xiaodouzi's chubby little hands off her head, one on each side, and held them to her ears.

I hope I haven't gotten infected...

Looking again at Shinazugawa, who seemed to be envious of his earlobes, Shirakawa Yu answered his question.

"The experiment is not as simple as you think, just empty talk."

His tone became serious.

"We have always been able to eliminate the demons' desire to eat people and sever the curse and connection between the demons and Muzan."

“If I take those two back for a month, I can guarantee they won’t have any more thoughts about cannibalism.”

"But they killed four Demon Slayer Corps members!"

Shinazugawa's voice hardened again. He looked up and stared directly at Shirakawa Yu.

"The experiment was a success; they can save four hundred Demon Slayer Corps members."

Shirakawa Yu also stared directly at him.

"Besides..."

He paused.

"Assuming you really won't allow me to take these two test subjects with me."
