The remaining Swamp Demon, seeing Takeshi coming up, had fear in his eyes.
This man had actually come up from below unharmed, and his other two companions had been killed. Then he would also...
Takeshi approached step by step...
"You actually dared to hurt Nezuko!"
A sword light flashed, and one of the Swamp Demon's arms was chopped off.
"Senior Takeshi..." Tanjiro sensed that something was wrong.
Takeshi ignored Tanjiro's words and stopped in front of the Swamp Demon, heavily stepping on the Swamp Demon's shoulder, pinning him against the wall.
"How do you want to die? Quickly, or tortured? Or, shall we talk about Kibutsuji Muzan?
They had all been cursed by Muzan. Anyone who spoke about Muzan would be directly killed by Muzan's blood inside their bodies.
Takeshi was very clear about this.
The Swamp Demon's fear intensified at once, and he was completely immersed in the fear of Kibutsuji Muzan.
"I don't dare to say, I don't dare to say, I don't dare to say, I don't dare to say..."
Takeshi didn't dawdle any longer. With one strike, he directly severed the Swamp Demon's neck, and his body slowly disappeared into ashes.
"Ding! The host has slain all the Swamp Demons. The system rewards you with enhanced body +5, enhanced fist strength +10, and a mid-level Combat Uniform."
Turning around, he used his sleeve to carefully wipe the bloodstains from Nezuko's forehead with great heartache.
"Next time, don't rush forward when you encounter danger. Also, stay by my side. Tanjiro is unreliable, understand?"
"Mmm?"
Nezuko blinked her innocent eyes, looking at Tanjiro on the side.
Tanjiro felt quite wronged. Nezuko was his sister; how could he not do his best to protect her?
"Senior Takeshi, don't say that!!! Nezuko will take it seriously."
Takeshi put away the sword in his hand and said, "I want her to take it seriously! What I said is the truth~"
As he spoke, Nezuko squatted down on her own and leaned against the wall, falling asleep. After a fight, her stamina had been depleted, and she could only enter sleep to replenish it.
After the battle ended, Tanjiro picked up a piece of the demon's clothes from the ground. This was what he had cut off during the battle.
On top of it were the belongings of many missing young girls, including the hair ribbon of Mr. Kazumi's fiancée, Satoko.
"Take it!" Tanjiro placed the things in Mr. Kazumi's hands.
Mr. Kazumi, holding the things in his hands, wailed loudly. His Satoko had been eaten and would never come back.
When the girl saw Takeshi was about to leave, she ran up and hugged him around the waist, "Thank you!"
At this moment, a large group of people came to the alley. Leading the way should be the young girl's parents, Takeshi recognized the woman.
"Officer! It's them. They wanted to stay at my house during the day, but after being rejected, they kidnapped my daughter."
Takeshi's mouth twitched slightly. What kind of bizarre operation was this! He looked down at the young girl who was still hugging him.
"Hey, miss, let go and explain to your mother, please!"
The young girl, with a red face, obediently let go and ran in small steps to her mother, whispering softly in her mother's ear for a while.
At this moment, Tanjiro had already put the miniature version of Nezuko into the wooden box and walked forward, standing in front of Takeshi.
"Senior Takeshi! It's okay, we didn't do anything."
Takeshi glanced sideways at Tanjiro. He really wanted to pry open Tanjiro's head and see if it was empty in there right now.
They had come to slay demons, not to do anything illegal. What could possibly happen?
The situation in front of them was clearly a misunderstanding, okay!
Before long, the woman ran in small steps to Takeshi, smiling ingratiatingly. "Mr. Takeshi, would you be willing to rest at my humble home? We have prepared food to reward you."
She was willing to let them in at this time. If she had let them stay earlier, he wouldn't have had to climb over the courtyard wall to get in. Now that she wanted him to go, would he go?
Takeshi raised his eyebrows. "No need, we're in a hurry!" He left aloofly.
The woman turned her head and glanced at her daughter, who had a face that looked like she was about to cry. She had no choice but to chase after him, grabbing Takeshi's arm.
"Mr. Takeshi, please stay. What happened during the day was my fault. Please forgive me! I implore you to go to my house and let me prepare a sumptuous meal to express my gratitude."
Tanjiro's stomach rumbled loudly at just the right time.
"Senior Takeshi, why don't we go? Eating dinner won't take too much time."
The reason he said this wasn't just because he was hungry, but also because he couldn't bear to refuse such a request from an older person.
Arriving at the wealthy family's house, the woman ordered people to prepare a sumptuous meal, letting them eat their fill.
At this moment, that crow flew from the sky and landed on the veranda outside. This time, it didn't dare to come too close, afraid that Takeshi would attack it again.
"Mr. Takeshi~ Next up is Asakusa, Tokyo. Can we set off now?"
Takeshi smiled. As expected, this crow was still pretty smart. He picked up his sword and stood up.
"Let's go!"
The woman, seeing this, hurriedly grabbed him.
"Mr. Takeshi, now that you've saved my daughter, and my daughter has fallen in love with you at first sight, would you be willing to stay? My family has a lot of wealth and can let you live a life of ease and comfort!"
"My daughter is gentle..."
Takeshi pulled away from the woman's clinging hand, gave a charming, almost bewitching smile, and said, "My ambitions aren't limited to this!"
"Tanjiro! Hurry up, we're leaving!" He strode towards the outside.
Tanjiro quickly picked up the wooden box, grabbed his sword, and hurried to catch up.
