This guy! This guy... this guy, was actually pretending to live as a human!
Tanjiro's emotions fluctuated greatly. Meeting his enemy, he was filled with uncontrollable rage, but the scene in front of him was even more unexpected and shocking, making it difficult for him to accept.
Kibutsuji Muzan, a hateful guy who turned people into man-eating demons, was actually living with humans! Did these two people know that he was a demon?
"Excuse me, is there something you want from me? You seem quite flustered."
Takeshi withdrew his thumb that was pressing on the hilt of the sword, casually patting Tanjiro's shoulder, and took a step forward himself.
"Flustered? You must be mistaken! Actually, if we're talking about being flustered…" Takeshi's eyes calmly met Kibutsuji Muzan's blood-red eyes.
"If we're talking about being flustered, you should be the one who's flustered." A smile outlined his lips.
Seeing the smile on the young boy's lips and the threatening meaning in his words, Kibutsuji Muzan's intuition told him that the young boy in front of him wasn't simple.
A beautiful woman with a refined air walked over. "Oh dear, what's wrong?"
The little girl, seeing the woman, sweetly called out "Mommy."
Tanjiro couldn't help but tremble all over. His heart was clenching tightly, making it difficult for him to breathe.
Kibutsuji Muzan... actually had a family. The little girl and woman in front of him were exuding the aura of humans.
Takeshi glanced sideways at Tanjiro. The tragic death of his family, the sudden change, now seeing this scene, it was normal for Tanjiro to have difficulty accepting it.
A family was talking harmoniously, but in Takeshi's view, it was nothing more than a superficial facade.
"Tanjiro! Calm down, pay attention to what you see," he reminded Tanjiro in a low voice.
Among the pedestrians, a young couple passed by Kibutsuji Muzan. Takeshi saw Kibutsuji Muzan's hand, which was hanging on the side, with veins bulging on the back of his hand.
Quickly, sharp fingernails scratched three bloody marks on the man's nape.
Takeshi saw this scene, and Tanjiro saw it even more clearly, staring with wide eyes. He, he was actually committing violence in front of them.
The man clutched the back of his neck, lowering his head.
The woman supported her husband with her hand, somewhat panicked. "Honey, what's wrong?"
The wound on the man's nape began to get infected, his blood vessels bulged, his face was filled with an abnormal color, saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth, and sharp teeth grew in his mouth.
His body trembled, and he suddenly raised his head.
"Ah!!!"
He opened his bloodthirsty mouth towards his wife next to him, pouncing on her without hesitation.
"Stop!!!" Tanjiro took off running towards the man.
Takeshi didn't move. He took out a dagger and threw it, the dagger swiftly piercing through the man's cheek.
Blood splattered on the woman's face, scaring her silly. "H-Honey…"
The man had completely turned into a demon who only wanted to eat people. He pulled out the dagger and threw it on the ground, pouncing on the woman's shoulder again.
"Stop it!!!"
"Ah—"
But Tanjiro, who had rushed over, was ultimately one step too late and still couldn't stop it.
Perhaps this was fate.
Kibutsuji Muzan's eyes changed slightly. The result he wanted was precisely this, but... why wasn't that person coming over as well?
Takeshi tilted his head slightly, saying jokingly, "It's just a small matter, my junior brother can handle it!"
The little girl in Muzan's arms was frightened, tightly grabbing Muzan's clothes, and even the refined woman was frightened, hugging Muzan's arm.
Because these two people were by his side, Muzan deliberately ignored Takeshi's words, lowering his head to comfort the little girl in his arms.
"Are you okay? You can't look, okay~"
"Ms. Rei, it's dangerous here, let's go across the street!"
Tanjiro, who was suppressing the man, saw Muzan turn around and leave. He couldn't let go of his hand on this side, so he could only ask Senior Takeshi for help.
"Senior Takeshi! Please."
Takeshi naturally knew what Tanjiro meant. Even if he didn't say it, he wouldn't let Muzan get away so easily from under his nose.
Unable to chase after him personally, Tanjiro shouted unwillingly, "Kibutsuji Muzan! I'll never let you get away!, I will chase you to the ends of the earth!"
Ms. Rei, hearing the voice behind her, asked, "What's wrong with that child? Mr. Tsukihiko."
"No matter where you go, I will chase you to the ends of the earth!"
"I will chase you to the ends of hell to take your head!"
"I'll never forgive you!"
Tanjiro's voice kept reaching Kibutsuji Muzan's ears. He bit his teeth slightly, not answering Ms. Rei's words. What he found thorny right now was...
That boy named Takeshi was following him!
Kibutsuji Muzan sent the mother and daughter all the way into the car, and the little girl didn't forget to say.
"Come back soon, Daddy~"
"Mmm, okay, you be a good girl and listen."
Takeshi was watching Muzan from not far away, and Muzan had also noticed him.
That's why he found an excuse to say he had business to discuss. Without those mother and daughter by his side, he had nothing to worry about.
As the car drove away, Muzan turned around, his eyes falling on Takeshi, who was by the wall not far away.
Takeshi, under the dim light, waved his hand at him...
