I Can't Take This Humiliation! / Master, Are We Still Fighting?

Okita Souji wanted to speak up for Kiyohime.

Yuxian smiled and said, "It's alright, I know what I'm doing."

Soji is indeed one of the few people in Chaldea who is easy to deal with; even at this time, he is willing to speak well of Kiyohime.

Unable to find the culprit, Yuxian Xian simply Tanjiro and the others at the foot of the mountain.

The person leading the support team happened to be Tomioka Giyuu, whom Yu Xian and the Yuxian.

Yuxian went up to greet him, and this time Tomioka Giyuu's attitude was much better than last time.

He said sincerely, "With your help, these Demon Slayer Corps will be able to survive."

"Ah, it's that arrogant old man."

The children's address made Tomioka Giyuu's heart skip a beat. How did he become an old man? He was still very young.

Tanjiro stepped forward to say goodbye to Yuxian, "We are going back to the Demon Slayer Corps' base. Thank you for taking care of us along the way."

As he spoke, he bowed to Yuxian and his group.

"Let's go together."

Yu Xian thought for Yuxian, since those two guys were hiding and refusing to come out anyway, he decided to go with Tanjiro to check out the Demon Slayer Corps base.

After saying that, he looked at Tomioka Giyuu and asked, "Is everything alright?"

Tomioka Giyuu was still questioning himself, wondering if he really looked old.

Hearing Yuxian's words, he nodded mechanically, "Welcome."

The Demon Slayer Corps' base is very well hidden, but Yuxian and his group are clearly not on the side of the demons. In fact, they have provided a lot of assistance in killing demons, so going to the base is of course not a problem for them.

The group then followed Tomioka Giyuu toward the Demon Slayer Corps base.

In a small village not far from Mount Natagumo.

Minamoto no Raikō noticed the sunlight in the dead of night from afar and immediately frowned.

She murmured, "Who angered that fox? Why did they make such a commotion?"

She quickly put aside her doubts.

"Whatever, we don't get along anyway, so I'd better not bother her."

As he spoke, he slowly walked away in another direction.

Chapter 18, Section 331: I can't bear this injustice!

On the way, Tomioka Giyuu Tanjiro in advance about the reason for summoning him back to the base: it was about Nezuko.

There are different opinions about Nezuko's existence within the Demon Slayer Corps, and that's why Tanjiro was summoned there this time.

The final decision will require a vote at a joint meeting.

Tanjiro was deeply worried about this. Nezuko was his only remaining family member in the world, and he absolutely could not abandon Nezuko.

However, he was very worried because he didn't know what decision the Demon Slayer Corps would ultimately make.

The children, however, were not worried at all. They comforted Nezuko, saying, "Nezuko, don't worry, no one can do anything to you."

"Yes, if anyone dares to bully you, we will definitely help you."

"With us here, we'll beat up anyone who dares to bully you."

Nezuko was very happy and nodded repeatedly.

Over time, she became very good friends with these children who were around her age.

She had never had such an experience before.

Not to mention that after she became a demon, she could only hide in the bamboo basket behind Tanjiro.

Even when Nezuko was still human, she could only live with her family in the deep mountains, and rarely encountered other playmates besides her brothers and sisters.

Having so many friends to play with was truly the happiest time of her life.

Yuxian also gently patted Tanjiro's shoulder to reassure him.

Don't say that his master and Tomioka Giyuu have vouched for Nezuko; even if they haven't, it doesn't matter.

Judging from the expressions on the children's faces, they would definitely try to persuade anyone who disagreed with them using physical means.

The Demon Slayer Corps' base is located in a very secluded mountain forest, far from cities and people, which allows them to stay out of Muzan Kibutsuji and ears.

In a spacious courtyard, the Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps had already arrived.

"Big-appetite sister!"

The children saw Kanroji Mitsuri among them and were deeply impressed by her, so they immediately went up to greet her.

"Huh? What brings you all here?"

Kanroji Mitsuri blinked, feeling somewhat surprised but also very happy to see these children again.

She immediately took out the snacks she had hidden in her bag and shared them with everyone.

While eating snacks, the children mumbled, "We're here to support Nezuko, so you won't bully her."

"That's right, Big Eater Sister, you have to be on our side."

Kanroji Mitsuri smiled and said, "Okay."

She didn't really care about any of that; her reason for joining the Demon Slayer Corps was simply to find a lover stronger than herself.

"Ganlu Temple, do you want to associate with ghosts?"

Shinazugawa Sanemi, the Wind Pillar, harbors extreme hatred for demons and cannot accept Nezuko's existence.

Kanroji Mitsuri tilted her head and said innocently, "But I can't refuse the children's requests."

"Shinzogawa, don't interfere with other people's decisions. Since Kanroji acknowledges the existence of this child, that is her decision."

Iguro Obanai, the Serpent Pillar, spoke up.

He harbors feelings for Kanroji Mitsuri, and when Shinazugawa Sanemi questions Kanroji Mitsuri, he immediately stands up for her.

"That's right, that's right! You're the bad guy, Nezuko isn't a bad person at all!"

"You're so ugly, you must be a bad guy. Only bad guys are ugly!"

"We will absolutely not let you bully Nezuko, not a chance!"

The children all turned their anger towards Shinazugawa Sanemi. They had made a promise on the way there that anyone who dared to make things difficult for Nezuko would be their enemy.

"Namo Amitabha Buddha!"

Himejima Gyomei softly chanted a Buddhist mantra, this tall and sturdy man was the Stone Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps, the most powerful of all the Pillars.

He said, "So-called children are pure, innocent, weak, prone to lying, and capable of acting cruelly without a care in the world."

His experiences with Himejima Gyomei filled him with suspicion and distrust of people, especially children.

His words seemed to perfectly describe the behavior of the children present.

Yuxian, who was just watching the show, could no longer stand idly by after hearing his words.

These children can be said to be Yuxian's Achilles' heel.

Let alone the Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps, even beings like Gilgamesh and Ozymandias wouldn't dare to speak so arrogantly to them.

Yuxian looked coldly at Himejima Gyomei and said sharply, "Don't use your little misfortune as an excuse for your ignorance!"

"Weak? Lying? Cruel?"

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

"That's just a shallow understanding caused by your own self-righteous stupidity."

"A monk? You? And you're talking about Namo Amitabha Buddha?"

"Where is your compassion? Where is your resolve to sacrifice yourself to feed the eagle?"

Yuxian's expression was cold as he squinted at Himejima Gyomei.

He did not deny the merits of this tragic pillar in killing demons, but it was unacceptable to speak ill of the children, not even to the Heavenly King himself!

In Yuxian's view, children's occasional mischief and playfulness are simply innocent and uninhibited.

He had always been reluctant to say a harsh word to them, but now someone actually said that to his face.

Yuxian can't stand this injustice!

Mash and Okita Souji exchanged a glance, unsurprised by Yuxian's behavior. He was the kind of person who would stand by the children even if they destroyed Chaldea. This Sad Pillar was just asking for trouble.

Himejima Gyomei did not refute Yuxian's words, and once again chanted the Buddhist prayer, "Namo Amitabha Buddha!"

But Yuxian wasn't going to let him off the hook, and continued, "Are you really upset and don't want to stoop to my level?"

"Come on, I'll give you a chance."

"If you can beat any one of them, we'll pack up and leave immediately."

"What kind of bullshit Demon Slayer Corps is this? I'm not putting up with it anymore!"

Yuxian pointed at the children, his expression saying, "Choose your opponents."

Tong Yan's eyes lit up, and he immediately jumped up and said, "I'll take care of this big guy!"

"No, yours is too powerful, it'll flatten him. Let me do it."

Illya was also eager to try, but what she said made it seem like she was mocking Himejima Gyomei.

Little Jeanne planted her spear into the ground and reached out to stop her companions.

She looked at Himejima Gyomei with a very serious expression. "I can tell you were talking badly about us just now."

"Even the original me has already accepted me, so you have no right to criticize me."

Little Jeanne had always been highly respected among the children. After she stepped forward, the other children stopped vying with her and silently stepped back, giving up their place.

At that moment, Yu Yuxian caught a glimpse of Shinazugawa Sanemi moving a few steps toward Nezuko, seemingly intent on making a move.

He immediately glared at him with a very fierce look.

"Do you want to die?!"

Chapter 19, Section 332: Master, shall we fight or not?

Originally Yuxian did not intend to criticize Shinazugawa Sanemi.

He is somewhat different from Himejima Gyomei. Shinazugawa Sanemi, who possesses rare blood, killed his mother, who was about to become a demon, with his own hands in order to protect his younger brother.

His extreme personality is related to this.

But now that Shinazugawa Sanemi dared to lay a hand on him, Yu Yuxian could no longer tolerate it.

Yuxian didn't care whether your background was pitiful or not; he was in a bad mood and immediately lost his temper.

"Don't think that having rare blood is something serious."

"You just want to test whether Nezuko can resist the temptation of rare blood, don't you?"

Yuxian shook his head, his voice becoming low.

"What an idiot! He can't even protect his own brother!"

"You think severing ties with him is protecting him? Foolish!"

Yuxian's eyes were filled with pity. Shinazugawa Sanemi had tried so hard to protect, he had failed to do so because of his foolishness.

"Do you know that he's now a member of the Demon Slayer Corps?"
