"Susamaru is right. Muzan Kibutsuji is actually a coward. To avoid attracting the attention of the government, he hasn't turned many people into {demons}. Only the Twelve Kizuki are truly useful to him! As for the other {demons}, they're just used to contain the Demon Slayer Corps!" Tamayo said to Ryuji.
"No wonder the people outside don't know about the existence of {demons}. It's because Muzan Kibutsuji is too cowardly!" Tanjiro exclaimed.
Tanjiro was also relieved that Muzan Kibutsuji was a coward. Otherwise, the world would have become a living hell.
"A coward, huh?" Ryuji sneered inwardly, mocking Muzan Kibutsuji.
"Since that's the case, Tanjiro, our one-day trip to Asakusa, Tokyo is over! Let's leave at dawn!" Ryuji said to Tanjiro.
"So soon? Aren't we staying a little longer? Ryuji?" Tanjiro was surprised. He thought they would stay in Asakusa, Tokyo for a while. After all, the place was so big, finding {demons} wouldn't be easy.
Unexpectedly, on the very first night, two {demons} came to them. One was killed by him, and the other was subdued by Ryuji.
The mission ended so easily!
Seeing Tanjiro's reluctance to leave, Ryuji teased, "Not leaving? Are you planning to stay and spend the rest of your life with Tamayo-san? Aren't you afraid Yushiro will strangle you?"
As Ryuji spoke, Yushiro glared at Tanjiro with hostile and warning eyes.
Tanjiro jolted, straightened his back, and said, "Impossible!"
At this moment, Tamayo picked up on Tanjiro's words, teasing him, "What? Are you disgusted by this two-hundred-year-old hag?"
Tanjiro frantically waved his hands at Tamayo, explaining nervously, "Tamayo-san is so young and beautiful, how could she be an old hag! I'd love to see you every day! How could I possibly be disgusted!"
Hearing Tanjiro's praise of Tamayo, Yushiro's eyes instantly flashed with killing intent. His jealousy completely overflowed.
Tanjiro saw Yushiro's murderous gaze from the corner of his eye. He gulped, then changed his tone. "It's just that, as Ryuji said, we really should go. After all, we're demon slayers. People in other places need us to rescue them. I just wanted to play in Asakusa, Tokyo for a few more days!"
"Our allowance isn't much! Asakusa, Tokyo is too expensive. We can't afford it, so let's leave early!" Ryuji poured cold water on Tanjiro, extinguishing his desire to stay longer.
Tanjiro's face fell, and he said dejectedly to Ryuji, "I understand, Ryuji."
Susamaru watched Ryuji and the others playfully banter, like a happy family. A strange feeling stirred within her: "Is this what a family feels like? So warm, so comfortable~"
Then, under this strange sensation, Susamaru slowly drifted off to sleep.
At this time, Tamayo said to Ryuji and Tanjiro, "We're also planning to leave here. There was a battle here, and Muzan Kibutsuji could come at any time. We must find a safe place to hide as soon as possible."
"Tanjiro! Should we take Nezuko under our care?"
