Once Tanjiro understood the situation, he was speechless.
Zenitsu Agatsuma's imagination had really run wild.
Tetsu no Sosuke was a hero of the Demon Slayer Corps. How could someone like him keep a demon? And feed it humans?
Prejudice was a frightening thing.
Now that Tanjiro understood, he felt it was only right for him to explain Nezuko's situation.
