Drake and Stella worked together to clean up the scene, gathered the bodies, and settled the Kamado sisters into a cleaner room.
But the bloody smell and dried red traces remained in place.
This was all the sin created by that Muzan guy. He really wanted to chase down that guy now and dig him out of who knows which gutter to bask in the sun.
But Drake also knew that among the many villains, Muzan was also the most difficult to deal with. It wasn't about his strength, but that he was too good at enduring.
Muzan's endurance had reached the point of completely abandoning his self-esteem. After being seriously injured by Yoriichi Tsugikuni, he not only never thought about revenge, but also hid until Yoriichi Tsugikuni died before coming out to operate again.
All external activities were left to his subordinate demons. He wasn't willing to take any risks.
If it wasn't for knowing that Nezuko had overcome the sunlight in the end, and Ubuyashiki Kagaya, the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, using himself as bait, driven by the two long-cherished wishes of becoming a perfect creature and eliminating the Demon Slayer Corps, he really wouldn't have been able to lure this guy out.
Just as Drake was thinking about whether there was an opportunity to block him, a special aura appeared in his perception.
Soon, rapid breathing and the sound of trampling on the snow appeared together, and Drake also saw the young man wearing a checkered haori.
The young man had deep red hair and pupils, and a scar on his forehead. And what was most striking were the hanafuda earrings hanging on the young man's ears.
The feeling that the young man gave was also very strange. His aura, as soft as flowing water, made people feel as warm as sunlight.
The one who could have such an aura was naturally the protagonist of this world, Tanjiro Kamado.
He could empathize with the sadness of even his enemies, but he wouldn't hesitate when fighting and killing them. He was a genuine, pure boy like an angel.
Tanjiro Kamado saw the stranger Drake standing at the door of his house at first glance, and then saw the large amount of blood in front of the door.
Tanjiro didn't act impulsively. He had a special talent, which was an exceptionally sensitive sense of smell. Through the smell, he didn't think that the person in front of him was a villain.
"Excuse me, who are you? Where are my family?"
Drake sighed and said, "I'm sorry, things had already happened when we arrived!"
Tanjiro's lips trembled slightly, and then he directly rushed into the house past Drake, who had moved out of the way.
Then Drake heard Tanjiro's painful crying.
Drake turned around and walked into the house, seeing Tanjiro kneeling in front of the corpses of his mother and younger siblings.
"And Nezuko, Hanako, please tell me how my sisters are!"
Drake supported the rushing Tanjiro and said, "Don't worry, they're still alive. But there are some situations you need to be mentally prepared for."
Saying this, Drake brought Tanjiro to another room. Tanjiro first breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Hanako sleeping in the blanket, and then saw Nezuko, who was tied up.
Tanjiro tilted his head to look at Drake and said, "Um... why is my sister tied up?"
To be able to remain calm after seeing the family he cared about most tied up, this child Tanjiro's temperament was truly commendable.
Drake said, "This is what I told you to be mentally prepared for. Your sister is turning into another creature."
Seeing Tanjiro's astonished expression, Drake told Tanjiro in detail what a demon was and the origin of demons.
Tanjiro's disappointment was visible to the naked eye, and he said, "So the one who killed my family was that guy named Muzan Kibutsuji? And Nezuko was also turned into a man-eating demon by him?"
Drake patted his shoulder and said, "There's no need to be so pessimistic yet. Nezuko is special. As long as she can control herself before she actually eats anyone, then she won't really become a demon."
Drake said this not because of some moral reason that once someone eats a person, there's no turning back, but based on a factual judgment.
The power of demons comes from the Muzan's blood in their bodies. The higher the concentration of Muzan's blood in the body, the stronger the power they possess.
And there are two ways to increase Muzan's blood. The first is naturally Muzan's gift, and the second is to eat more people.
Human flesh and blood can nourish the growth of demon blood. As long as they eat enough, the demon blood will become stronger and stronger.
The components of the Blue Spider Lily in Nezuko's body are limited, and now they form a delicate balance with the demon blood.
If Nezuko couldn't control herself and ate someone, then she would likely break this balance, causing her to degenerate into a true demon.
Just as Drake finished speaking, Nezuko also opened her eyes.
The girl's originally bright black eyes had turned into scarlet vertical pupils, full of violence and bloodlust.
Veins bulged out from the girl's face, and sharp canine teeth were revealed in her open mouth. Making Nezuko, who was obviously a beauty, look like a rabid beast.
The components of the Blue Spider Lily in Nezuko's body were still too weak. Although they allowed Nezuko to directly break free from Muzan's control, they couldn't completely resolve the erosion of the demon blood.
Nezuko's rage now, and her later loss of memory, were all caused by this.
What was binding Nezuko was a magic tool made by Drake, but that golden rope's effect of sealing magic power shouldn't have any effect on Nezuko, but its own sturdiness was already enough.
Nezuko struggled frantically, and the rope emitting golden light directly dug into her body. Making the beast-like growls in her throat seem particularly shrill.
Seeing his sister like this, what brother wouldn't be indifferent? Tanjiro really wished he could bear this pain for his sister.
When Nezuko began to roll around on the ground, Tanjiro finally couldn't bear it any longer, and directly stepped forward to hug his sister in his arms.
"Nezuko, calm down! I'm your brother! I'm right here with you!"
Stella approached worriedly. Looking at Nezuko's current appearance, she couldn't tell who was in front of her at all. Although her body was tied up, she could open her mouth and bite Tanjiro's body.
But Drake stopped Stella, saying, "Believe in the bonds between their family members!"
Nezuko did open her mouth, and her sharp teeth even touched the clothes on Tanjiro's shoulder.
But then, Nezuko felt something warm fall on her forehead and cheeks.
Nezuko's movements froze, and she blankly looked up at Tanjiro, whose tears kept falling.
"Hang in there, Nezuko! Don't give up! Don't lose yourself! Don't... become a demon!"
Even though his tears kept flowing, Tanjiro's tone was extremely firm.
In Tanjiro's tears and words, the violence in Nezuko's eyes began to fade, and tears representing humanity began to well up.
Drake said, "This can be considered temporarily controlled, but there's still a long way to go to completely solve the problem.
So, young man, what do you plan to do next?"
