Seeing that Tanjiro had woken up, Obanai Iguro frowned, his tone carrying a mixture of confusion and sternness:
To be honest, I'm still quite confused about today's announcement.
A trial? Is there any need for a trial?
If it's a ghost, shouldn't we just kill it?
As for this team member who is associated with a ghost, although there is no such rule in the team regulations, it can certainly be treated as cooperating with a ghost!
Just execute them directly!
Kyojuro Rengoku nodded. " Iguro is right. Let's just execute him! Along with his sister!"
Upon hearing this, Tengen Uzui's lips curled into a confident smile. He reached over his shoulders and gripped the hilts of the twin swords sheathed behind him.
"You want to execute them? Then let me do it! I'll show you what the most spectacular blood splattering in the world looks like!"
Huh? Are you really going to kill such a cute little boy?
Although he was traveling with a ghost, wasn't his main purpose to protect his sister?
Mitsuri Kanroji felt a pang of pity.
Tanjiro sensed the hostility and suspicion towards him and Nezuko among those around him, and a strong sense of worry welled up in his heart.
He struggled to get up, but the hidden members pressed his head firmly to the ground.
Nezuko! Where is Nezuko?
Noticing Tanjiro's struggle, the members of the Hidden Army increased the pressure they applied to Tanjiro's head.
Hey! You better behave yourself!
Seeing this, Kanae said, "There's no need for this, let him get up!"
The hidden member was slightly taken aback.
"But..."
Kanae chuckled, "Don't worry, we're here, nothing will happen!"
The hidden member hesitated for a moment, but ultimately let go.
Tanjiro immediately sat up and looked around, searching for Nezuko.
"Are you looking for Nezuko?" Kanae asked.
Tanjiro turned around upon hearing this, "Yes! You know where Nezuko is?"
Kanae nodded and gently pointed inside the room.
"Because it's daytime now, even though she was hiding in the box, I was still worried something might happen to her, so I put her in a room where she wouldn't get any sun!"
Tanjiro looked in the direction Kanae pointed and, sure enough, saw his box containing Nezuko at the very back of the room, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, as if remembering something, she turned and bowed to Kanae.
"Thanks!"
"It's alright! It's not like we've met before!" Kanae chuckled.
"Huh?"
Tanjiro was puzzled by this, as he did not recall ever seeing the Pillar before him.
Kanae explained, "I went to see it with Teiichi two years ago when you were still training at Mount Sagiri!"
Before Tanjiro could react, the other Pillars present had already turned their gazes over.
The conversation they had just had led them to believe that only Giyu Tomioka was involved in the matter.
Didn't expect there to be two more people now?
Muichiro had been aimlessly watching the clouds drift by, also turned his attention to what was being said.
"Why didn't you kill that demon back then?" Sanemi Shinazugawa asked.
Kanae sighed softly, her gaze gentle yet firm. "Because Nezuko is truly special. She's unlike any other demon we know; she doesn't eat people."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's attention immediately focused on them.
That's the reason they wanted, not the "different" that Giyu Tomioka mentioned.
Of course, even so, they didn't believe it entirely.
After all, they've been fighting for so long, and they haven't encountered a single ghost that doesn't eat people.
You could tell from their eyes.
Whether you don't believe it, question it, or are surprised...
"Master's wife, does Master also know about this?" Muichiro asked.
"Yes!" Kanae nodded.
Upon hearing this, Muichiro looked at Tanjiro carefully for a moment, then looked back at the clouds in the sky.
Where did that cloud go?
"A demon that doesn't eat people? I've never seen one before!" Obanai Iguro questioned.
Tanjiro argued, " Nezuko really doesn't eat people! She hasn't eaten anyone since she became a demon, and she never will!"
"Hmph..." Obanai Iguro sneered.
"Don't talk such unrealistic things! How many ghosts have you even seen?"
Moreover, protecting one's relatives is a very normal thing.
Therefore, nothing you say is credible!
At least I won't believe it!
Upon hearing this, Tanjiro's anxiety was palpable. He clenched his fists, trying to make his voice sound more resolute:
"But Nezuko really won't eat people! She's never done it even once since she became a demon! I won't allow her to do it!"
Tengen Uzui shook his head, his face full of disdain.
Are you an idiot? What you're saying now is no different from what you just said!
Besides, he doesn't even believe you anymore, so what's the point of you saying anything?
Prove it! Prove it to us in all its glory!
Prove that your sister has never eaten people in the past, and will not eat people in the future!
"This... this..."
Tanjiro felt a little dizzy.
How can you prove something that has already happened and something that hasn't happened yet?
"I asked Tanjiro's Kasugai Crow, Nezuko definitely didn't eat any people afterwards!"
Sensing Tanjiro's predicament, Kanae gently raised her hand.
Hearing Kanae's words, Tanjiro finally realized what was going on.
If you want to prove Nezuko doesn't eat people, the Kasugai Crow is indeed the best evidence.
"Yes, the Kasugai Crow can prove that Nezuko has never eaten a person!"
Ignoring Tanjiro, Obanai Iguro looked at Kanae and questioned, "This news doesn't completely prove she doesn't eat people, does it? The Kasugai Crow also has to come back to receive the message; maybe it ate her at that time?"
"It's true that some demons can control their urge to eat people, but it's obvious that a demon that has just become a demon shouldn't be able to control it, right?" Kanae said.
"You said you were asking about the Kasugai Crow, so how do you know she didn't eat people when she first became a demon?" Obanai Iguro asked.
"I encountered her on the very first day she became a demon, and I can confirm that she didn't eat people!" Giyu Tomioka said.
Kyojuro Rengoku asked, "And then what?"
Giyu Tomioka said, "After that, she and her brother stayed with the trainer Sakonji Urokodaki they joined the team. During that time, it can also be confirmed that they did not eat people!"
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent for a moment.
I don't quite understand why they didn't kill the ghost.
But they still believe what they say.
So, does that mean this ghost really hasn't eaten a person yet?
"Compared to that, I'm more curious about their story!"
Shinobu Kocho looked at Tanjiro.
"Hey, little brother, why did your sister turn into a ghost? And why do you keep her with you?"
