Chapter Eight: We Need to Help Nezuko / Chapter Nine: We Want to Play a Little Longer

The children looked at this and played with that, running around the streets, completely absorbed in their fun.

Yuxian and Mash walked slowly behind, and occasionally a child would come back to him with something they had bought and show it to him. The group happily strolled around the street.

The children bought a lot of things, including food and toys, and skipped and hopped along ahead, discussing what they had just seen and heard, their faces full of smiles.

Soon they came to a sparsely populated alleyway, with walls on both sides surrounding houses. It was a road left only for passage.

"Master, Master, look what we've found?!"

The children in front suddenly stopped by a wall and waved to Yuxian behind them.

They seemed to have discovered something.

Yuxian strode forward and asked, "What is it?"

Gretel pointed to a wall in front of her and said with great certainty, "Master, this is a passageway."

"Passage?" Yuxian was taken aback, then immediately realized that the Gretel meant there was an illusion here, and that there was actually no wall.

"Hmm, I wonder who set up this barrier. Should we go in and take a look? Maybe we'll make a big discovery!"

The children were eager to try; if it weren't for the fear that Yuxian wouldn't be able to find them, they would have already gone in.

Yuxian nodded. "Alright, let's go in and see who owns this place."

After receiving Yuxian's approval, the children disappeared from Yuxian sight as if they had blended into the wall.

Upon Yuxian immediately followed him inside.

Who are you?!

A boy blocked the children's path, glaring at them angrily.

"You've set up such a strange mechanism here, you must be up to some shady business!"

"Yes, yes, that's strange, there must be something wrong."

Yushiro said in a very irritable tone, "I don't have time to waste with you kids. Get out of here! This is not a place for you!"

"You're the little brat!" the children retorted.

Suddenly, Little Jeanne of Arc pointed at Yushiro with a look of sudden realization and said, "Ah! I know, you must be a demon, hiding here secretly eating people, right!"

Upon Yushiro immediately bent over, assuming an attack stance.

Chapter 8, Section 321: We Need to Help Nezuko

When Yuxian came in, he saw Yushiro looking angry and about to attack, and he immediately frowned.

"Yushiro".

At that moment, a gentle voice came from inside the room, Yushiro's expression immediately underwent a complete 180-degree change.

The original ferocity and terror vanished instantly, replaced by utter docility; such a rapid change of expression is quite an ability.

Upon seeing the woman emerge from the house, Yushiro greeted her with utmost respect, "Lady Tamayo!"

"Since you're a guest, please come in and have a seat."

Tamayo bowed very politely to Yuxian and invited them into the house.

As the saying goes, one cannot hit a smiling face. Seeing Tamayo's polite manner, even the children would not feel any ill will towards her.

They glared fiercely at Yushiro, snorted, and followed Tamayo into the house.

Yushiro was dissatisfied, he dared not disobey Tamayo's words and could only follow behind reluctantly.

When Yuxian entered the house, he saw two very familiar faces.

Tanjiro Kamado and Nezuko.

Nezuko, with a bamboo tube in her mouth, was rolling around on the ground like a cute little kitten.

When she saw someone come in, she immediately sat up straight and leaned against Tanjiro, curiously looking at the children who were about her age.

Wow! There are little kids!

Why is there a bamboo tube tied to your mouth?

"Did they bully you?"

"Don't be afraid, Master loves children the most, he will definitely help you!"

The children immediately surrounded Nezuko and started talking, which made the shy Nezuko hide behind Tanjiro, peeking out her head timidly.

"This is my little sister, Nezuko," Tanjiro said with a smile, patting Nezuko's head.

"Nezuko, quickly say hello to everyone."

Nezuko heard Tanjiro say that, she obediently nodded to the children, "Mmm, mmm."

"Oh dear, why don't you take the bamboo tube off? We can't talk properly like this."

The children, seeing that Nezuko didn't seem to be bullied, were curious about her inability to speak because she had a bamboo tube in her mouth.

Tanjiro scratched his head and laughed, "Because Nezuko is a demon now, the bamboo tube that Master made is to help her."

"Ghost?"

"Is it one of those man-eating demons?"

"You're so stupid! Her mouth is tied up, she definitely can't eat people!"

"Won't you get very hungry if you don't eat?"

"Nezuko so pitiful."

The children immediately looked at Nezuko with sympathy; in their hearts, as long as she wasn't a man-eating demon, there was no problem.

I feel so sorry for Nezuko, who is gagged and can't eat. She must miss out on so many delicious things.

They definitely wouldn't be able to accept it; not letting them eat would be worse than killing them.

Tanjiro said with a determined expression, "I will definitely turn Nezuko back into a human!"

"Definitely!"

Yuxian smiled and looked at Tanjiro with kind eyes. He was a very gentle person, not only towards his sister, but also towards everyone else.

Yuxian encouraged him, saying, "You will succeed."

"Why turn back into a human? Being a ghost is fine too, as long as you're not a bad ghost, you can still be friends with everyone."

The children had no prejudice against humans or ghosts, and Ibuki got along very well with them at Chaldea.

Nezuko looked at the children with bright, sparkling eyes. It was the first time she had ever heard someone say that, and she was very happy.

Tamayo explained from the side, "Ghosts cannot appear in the sunlight; they can only hide in dark corners and can only go out at night."

"Why can't it be in the sunlight?"

The children were puzzled; Ibuki seemed no different from the others.

Yuxian knew that the children's understanding had gone astray, so he explained, "This issue is related to the source. Demons like Nezuko are actually caused by someone's blood, and they are different from the demons you imagine."

"Muzan Kibutsuji!" Tanjiro gritted his teeth as he uttered the name.

If there is anyone in this world he would never forgive, it would be Muzan Kibutsuji.

"Have you seen him?" Yuxian asked.

Tanjiro nodded. He would never forget that person's eyes, and he vowed in his heart to kill him.

Yuxian blinked. It seemed that Muzan Kibutsuji should be near Asakusa Prefecture right now. Should he go and look for him?

But he quickly abandoned the idea. With Muzan's caution, he was sure that Muzan had already transformed into another face and left. Blindly searching in vain would not be of much use.

Yu Xian chatted with Tamayo for Yuxian. Tamayo had lived for over a hundred years and might have some special experiences to share.

The children played with Nezuko nearby, and they quickly became friends with Nezuko.

The children huddled together, quietly discussing their plan.

"Should we help Nezuko? It's so sad that she can't eat."

"Yeah, it's so sad that we can't play in the sun."

Do you have any ideas?

The children encountered a problem, and they didn't know how to prevent Nezuko from being harmed by the sun.

"It seems like there's a way..."

Jack tilted his head and remembered something.

Back in Chaldea, a goddess once asked her for help in keeping an eye on a bear that liked to flirt with girls.

"Here you go, this cloak will protect you from the sun, and even Apollo will ignore you."

"If you tell me everything that bear does, I'll give you this cloak as a reward."

Jack remembered what the Moon Goddess had said to her.

She secretly followed Orion for a whole day because she thought it would be fun, and eventually got the cloak. She didn't care what happened to Orion.

However, Jack only used the cloak once before leaving it to gather dust in her room, finding it too cumbersome and troublesome because she liked to run around everywhere.

When Jack told everyone about this incident, the children were overjoyed.

"A cloak blessed by the Moon Goddess is definitely safe!"

"Jack, where did you put it?"

Jack thought for a moment and said uncertainly, "It should be in the room..."

"Then what should we do?"

"Let's ask Da Vinci-chan to deliver it to us. We bought so much stuff today, we'll definitely give her some. She'll be happy to oblige."

"Okay! Let's do it this way!"

After the children finalized their plan, they ran to Yuxian and said to him, "Master, Master, we want to send gifts back to everyone. Could you help us contact Da Vinci-chan?"

Yuxian how enthusiastic they were, Yu Xian didn't want to disappoint them, so he smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, we'll contact Da Vinci-chan for you when we get back to the hotel."

It was getting late, Yuxian bid farewell to Tamayo and Tanjiro and prepared to leave.

Section 322, Chapter 9: We Want to Play a Little Longer

Bang!

Just as Yuxian was about to leave, a handball flew through the door and darted around the room.

Then more and more handballs came flying in, and the room suddenly became very dangerous.

"Senior! Watch out!"

Mash reacted quickly, instantly shielding Yuxian with her shield. The impact of the handball on the shield did not force her to take a step back.

The children also scattered and hid. They were fine, and even had the strength to protect Nezuko.

Tanjiro, however, was under immense pressure. He drew his Nichirin Blade and stood in front of Tamayo and Yushiro, appearing to be struggling.

After being attacked, Yushiro became very agitated. He shouted, "I told you not to contact other people. My disguise is not perfect. The more people there are, the stronger the smell will be, and the greater the chance of being discovered."

Contrary to his unusually agitated emotions, Tamayo remained calm and composed.

"Everyone, let's go hide in the basement first."

But no one responded to her.

"These arrows are so annoying!"
