Making eye contact with Tanjiro's pleading gaze, Takeshi turned his back.
Tanjiro withdrew his pleading gaze. Sure enough, asking Senior Aoyama for help ten times, succeeding even once would be a miracle, of course, this time, his request for help had also failed!
"Hey, little guy, get up quickly! The one under you is a demon, you know, she'll hurt you! Don't protect her anymore!" Shinobu patiently tried to persuade him.
She couldn't persuade Nagasawa Aoyama and Giyu Tomioka, so she would try to persuade this person who was covered in injuries.
Ah—
Tanjiro's heart tightened all of a sudden, his hands tightly hugging Nezuko, shaking his head, "No, it's not like that! Nezuko is a demon... but she's also my younger sister!"
"Oh so she's your younger sister A younger sister who's become a demon... You're the older brother... How pitiful." Shinobu Kocho's eyes carried pity, saying, "Since she's your younger sister, then let me kill her with a gentle poison that won't cause pain!"
A gentle smile reappeared on her face, protecting his younger sister who had become a demon like this, this pair of siblings was truly moving.
Seeing that Shinobu was determined to kill Nezuko, Tanjiro's breathing tightened.
Takeshi, who had turned his back, turned around again, glancing at Tanjiro. This guy's voice was much louder than just now, he must have recovered some of his strength.
He gave Tanjiro a look, telling him to quickly take Nezuko and leave, he would hold Shinobu back here.
Tanjiro was stunned for a moment, immediately understanding the meaning, taking a deep breath, picking up Nezuko, getting up and running backwards, passing by the wooden box he had placed, grabbing it and taking it with him.
He couldn't be without this wooden box, otherwise, once he took Nezuko and escaped, once it was dawn, Nezuko wouldn't be able to hide.
Takeshi walked forward, standing shoulder to shoulder with Giyu Tomioka, and Shinobu Kocho on the opposite side instantly understood that these two people, no, it was three people, all wanted to protect Nezuko.
Shinobu Kocho frowned slightly, saying with a smile, "You guys are violating the Corps rules, you know?"
Giyu's face was blank, his eyes constantly staring at Shinobu , preventing her from attacking Nezuko at any time.
Takeshi didn't care at all. He couldn't and would never ignore Nezuko because of some Corps rules.
On the other side, Tanjiro, carrying Nezuko, held his breath, running forward with his head down, his body unable to endure the pain, but he couldn't stop.
His body felt so uncomfortable... His whole body hurt so much! He wanted to shout that he was in so much pain, but he had to endure it!
Endure, endure, endure, endure! Do your best, Tanjiro, you must endure!
At this moment, Tanjiro's mind was a mess, carrying Nezuko, constantly running forward, he is a Demon Slayer, but he was traveling together with a demon, did he have to leave the Demon Slayer Corps?
Even if she is his younger sister, a swordsman carrying a demon wouldn't be recognized.
Shinobu, carrying the determination to slay the demon, exchanged blows with the two people who were blocking her.
Takeshi was responsible for blocking Shinobu from pursuing Tanjiro, and Giyu Tomioka was counterattacking, Amidst the flash of swords, the three people confronted each other.
The smile on Shinobu Kocho's face was gone, her expression was serious, staring at the two people, her eyes finally falling on Giyu Tomioka.
"It seems you're serious, Mr. Tomioka! I didn't expect that, as a Hashira, you would actually protect a demon."
Her eyes then fell on Aoyama, "Aoyama-kun, although you're not a Hashira, you can't protect a demon either, and you're even fighting me, who wants to slay demons, you and Mr. Tomioka have both violated the Corps rules!"
Takeshi shrugged his shoulders, looking indifferent, "It's okay, I only do what I think is right, slaying demons is something that should be done, and protecting Nezuko is also something that I think should be done!"
Having said this, a faint smile appeared on Takeshi's face.
Hearing these words, Shinobu raised her eyebrows, it seemed there was no room for discussion between them for the time being and it wasn't a solution for her to be dragged down by these two people all the time.
With a leap, her body lightly came to a tree branch, looking at the two people below, saying, "I won't be here to delay time with you any longer! Well then, goodbye."
Shinobu quickly moved from one branch to another, her body as light as a butterfly.
Giyu Tomioka and Takeshi quickly chased after Shinobu Kocho, who was moving between the branches, below.
Looking at the two people chasing her below, Shinobu Kocho's face showed a smile, "You think you can catch up to me like that?"
Her foot stepped on a tree branch, leaping up, "Hey, it's good that you want to stop me, but don't forget there's still another person, you know!"
Takeshi's expression changed, using the strength in his legs, and then leaping onto a branch, shouting, "Mr. Tomioka, please go help Tanjiro, I'll leave this side to you!"
Giyu Tomioka nodded, no longer paying attention to Shinobu Kocho above, quickly running forward.
Takeshi was chasing after Shinobu on the tree branches, as long as he held her back now, then the person she had talked about being handed over to Giyu Tomioka wouldn't be a problem.
In Tanjiro's arms, Nezuko opened her eyes, looking at Tanjiro's profile.
"Must be faster, must be even faster, must escape further, can't let Senior Aoyama and Mr. Tomioka's help be in vain! Do your best, Tanjiro!"
While running, Tanjiro encouraged himself, he couldn't fall here, absolutely couldn't!
Only caring about running, Tanjiro didn't notice at all that, right behind him, there was a figure chasing relentlessly.
