Demon Slayer: Tanjiro becomes a ghost, Nezuko becomes a pillar!

Chapter 111 Agree to Join

The lord's words struck the heart of every pillar like a heavy hammer.

The courtyard fell silent again, with only the rustling of leaves in the wind.

The pillars looked at each other, their faces showing a brief moment of hesitation and struggle.

Yes, Tanjiro has never hurt anyone.

His actions were not like those of a demon; on the contrary, he was kinder and more steadfast than many humans.

But he was a ghost after all.

A ghost that can survive in sunlight.

This fear still lingers in their hearts, refusing to dissipate.

Tanjiro held Nezuko tightly in his arms, looked up at Kagaya Ubuyashiki, his eyes filled with gratitude.

"But my lord..."

Seeing that everyone hesitated, Obanai Iguro immediately stepped forward to say something, only to see that the lord raised his hand towards him.

"I know what everyone wants to say, but have you all forgotten what all of this just happened for?"

The lord looked tenderly at the pillars and asked softly.

Upon hearing their lord's words, everyone immediately remembered that the test initiated by Sanemi was to prove whether Tanjiro would hurt anyone.

"As you all probably saw, even if you didn't see it, the fact that no one directly attacked in the end is probably because Tanjiro didn't hurt anyone, isn't it?"

Their lord's words were like a deadly sword, shattering their fear.

Upon hearing their lord's words, everyone slowly turned to look at Tanjiro, who was protecting Nezuko in his arms. Although they felt a little fear, they still put away their Nichirin Blades.

Upon hearing that everyone had sheathed their Nichirin Blades, the lord turned to look in Tanjiro's direction and bowed slightly in apology.

"Tanjiro, Nezuko, please forgive me for not stopping them from harming you!"

Tanjiro and Nezuko watched in surprise as their master apologized to them and begged for forgiveness.

The two of them froze on the spot for a moment.

The next second, Giyu Tomioka pressed Tanjiro's head down.

"My lord, please don't do this. As Tanjiro's guarantor, your failure to stop him is giving them a chance to prove themselves. Therefore, please take back your words!"

Giyu Tomioka knelt down and pressed Tanjiro's head down, speaking respectfully.

Tanjiro realized what was happening and immediately lowered his head.

"My lord, please don't do this! It's my honor that you explained things to me and Nezuko, and that you accepted me!"

Tanjiro spoke quickly as well.

He knew what kind of status his master held in the Demon Slayer Corps, and for such a person to now beg for his forgiveness after becoming a demon was beyond his comprehension.

Midouzi also understood that the reason why no one was attacking her brother was because of the lord's words, so she immediately spoke up.

"As members of the Demon Slayer Corps, our lord has already given us a chance, so there's no need for you to do this."

Seeing their leader, the Demon Slayer Corps, doing this, everyone tried to dissuade him.

"My lord, you have already done enough for them. This is inappropriate. Please straighten up!"

Everyone knelt down and begged their lord not to do this.

But the lord shook his head, his tone full of apology.

"As the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, I almost lost my child and nearly caused my children to kill each other. I didn't do a good enough job, so please forgive me!"

Upon hearing this, everyone lowered their heads even further and dared not speak.

Hearing the silence of the crowd, the lord sighed softly and slowly straightened up.

"Everyone, are there any objections to Tanjiro joining the Demon Slayer Corps now?"

Upon hearing their lord's words, everyone knew that Tanjiro had proven himself, so they all agreed with their lord.

"My children, we shouldn't be afraid of Tanjiro. Instead, we have a secret weapon to fight Muzan Kibutsuji. Moreover, Mr. Tanjiro and Ms. Nezuko have already made contact with Muzan Kibutsuji!"

Seeing that everyone agreed, the lord spoke gently yet powerfully.

This news was clearly more shocking than Tanjiro basking in the sunlight.

They all looked up at Tanjiro and Nezuko kneeling on the ground and asked questions all at once.

"Have you guys seen Muzan Kibutsuji?"

"What does he look like?"

"What abilities does he have?"

The questions from the crowd left Tanjiro and Nezuko momentarily speechless.

The lord smiled slightly and waved his hand, and everyone fell silent.

"Let them rest first!"

As soon as the lord finished speaking, two hidden members quickly appeared.

"My lord, esteemed Pillars, I'm so sorry, so very sorry!"

Seeing the unfriendly looks from the Pillars, the two Hidden members quickly smiled apologetically and pulled Tanjiro and Nezuko away.

As he watched them leave, the lord's tone gradually became serious.

"Now, let's begin the meeting!"

Just as the Pillars were about to begin the meeting, Mizuko ran back with an angry expression.

Everyone was puzzled, except for one person who kept his head down the whole time.

"My lord, please allow me to kick that outrageous white-haired exhibitionist one more time!"

"Nie Douzi, don't do this, I'm fine!"

"What are you doing? Get out of here, stop fooling around!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

For a moment, Nezuko yelled at Shinazugawa Sanemi, while Tanjiro awkwardly and one of the Hidden members stopped Nezuko.

Another member of the hidden group kept bowing and apologizing.

"Pfft!"

Kanroji Mitsuri's face turned bright red as she couldn't help but burst out laughing, but when she saw others looking at her, she quickly covered her face.

"A private Marseille!"

As Giyu Tomioka watched Nezuko disappear around the corner, he recalled that when Sanemi Shinazugawa struck Nezuko with his final sword, his Nichirin Blade had actually deviated several inches.

Even if he didn't stop her, Shinazugawa Sanemi's attacks wouldn't land on Nezuko.

So, wanting to speak up for Nezuko, he looked at Sanemi Shinazugawa beside him.

[What Ni Douzi said was indeed a bit excessive!]

He thought this to himself, but the words he uttered had a different meaning.

"Yeah, that white-haired exhibitionist is really going too far!"

After Giyu Tomioka finished speaking, the courtyard fell into an eerie silence!

Everyone was stunned, their eyes turning to Giyu Tomioka, their faces filled with disbelief.

"Pfft—Ha—Ugh!"

Kanroji Mitsuri could no longer hold back. She covered her mouth, trying to suppress her laughter, her shoulders trembling, and tears were almost streaming down her face.

Upon hearing this, Sanemi's forehead veins bulged and throbbed instantly.

His head, which had been hanging low, slowly rose. His bloodshot eyes and his face, so dark it seemed to drip water, stared intently at Tomioka Giyuu, gritting his teeth as he asked, word by word:

"What...are you talking about?"
