Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

Ordinary blades and slashes cannot kill ogres; even splitting their heads in two is useless.

There are only three ways to truly kill a cannibal!

The first method is to expose it to sunlight until it dies.

The second method is to use a special weapon forged from special ore, known as the "Nichirin Blade," to sever the neck of the ogres.

The third method is to use the poison of wisteria flowers to kill the man-eating demons, but this poison is not very effective against Upper Moon demons and Muzan Kibutsuji.

According to Swamp Demon's observation, apart from Tanjiro possessing a Nichirin Blade who could pose a threat to him, the other two guys simply couldn't possibly harm him.

Therefore, the Swamp Demon plans to take out Suzuki Seimei and Nezuko first, and then join forces to deal with Tanjiro, the biggest threat.

"Idiot! I've caught you!"

Just as the unicorn "Swamp Demon" reached out and grabbed Suzuki Seimei's calf, preparing to drag him into the black swamp, he suddenly raised his leg and kicked the unicorn "Swamp Demon" out of the ground.

"Oops!"

The unicorn-like "swamp demon," whose body suddenly levitated, had a drastic change in expression.

Water Breathing - First Form - Water Surface Slash!

Seeing this, Tanjiro instantly swung his Nichirin Blade, a sharp flash of light accompanying the strike, severing the neck of the one-horned "Swamp Demon".

"Damn it..."

Amidst the screech of the one-horned "swamp demon," its head and headless body turned to ash at a visible speed.

"Damn it! I have to hurry..."

Seeing this, the remaining two-horned "swamp demons" were about to burrow underground to escape when they suddenly felt their bodies lighten and were pulled out of the black swamp by Nezuko.

What?!

The two-horned "Swamp Demon" subconsciously turned its head to look, and was suddenly horrified to find that Nezuko, who was originally petite, had turned into a muscular Barbie doll who was over two meters tall.

"Pfft!"

Before the two-horned "swamp demon" could react, a cold glint pierced through its neck, causing its vision to spin.

"I...I'm not reconciled..."

Amidst the two-horned "swamp demon's" unwilling cries, its head and body turned to ashes.

After defeating the three "swamp demons," Suzuki Seimei finally raised his head and looked at Nezuko, who was wearing a pink kimono.

Faced with Suzuki Seimei's curious gaze, Nezuko blinked her innocent big eyes, tilted her head in confusion, and then her tall body deflated like a punctured balloon, shrinking back to her petite and delicate form.

Nezuko, now in her normal form, suddenly walked up to Suzuki Seimei, reached out her little hand to pat his head, and her big eyes curved into crescent shapes.

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in with Nezuko Kamado. You are rewarded with a copy of 'Size Ruyi'. You can claim it at any time."

Skill Name: Size Control

(?ω?)

After reviewing the skill attributes of "Size Ruyi", a glint flashed in Suzuki Seimei's eyes.

The skill "Size As You Wish" can only increase Suzuki Seimei's height to three meters, but that's enough for him.

Suzuki Seimei had been dissatisfied with his childlike body for a long time, as he could only look at it but not touch it.

Although Suzuki Seimei could use his consciousness to transfer part of his consciousness into the body of a Stand in order to achieve his goal of building a harem, the enhancement was ultimately not the original body. It felt like there was a small umbrella in between, which inevitably made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Now that he has the ability of "Size and Size," Suzuki Seimei can transform his body into an adult, and his years of hard-earned marksmanship can finally be put to good use.

"Little brother, who are you? What are you doing here?"

Tanjiro wasn't surprised at all to see Nezuko and Suzuki Seimei being so affectionate.

To prevent Nezuko from harming humans, Tanjiro's master had already placed a mental suggestion in her mind, making her treat all humans she sees as family.

From Nezuko's perspective, Suzuki Seimei is the youngest brother in the family, which explains her affectionate behavior.

Hearing Tanjiro's words, Suzuki Seimei snapped out of his reverie and said, half-jokingly, "My name is Suzuki Seimei, and I am a wandering samurai!"

"A wandering samurai?"

Upon hearing this, Tanjiro's expression immediately turned strange. He stared at Suzuki Seimei from head to toe, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Although Suzuki Seimei's attire did resemble samurai clothing, he was so young that it was hard to believe.

Don't you believe me?

Suzuki Seimei said with a straight face, "You don't actually think that samurai are born samurai, do you? Samurai also need to train from a young age and grow up to become samurai. And I am a minor samurai who is currently training!"

Chapter 490 Please Call Me Head Pillar

That makes sense!

Upon hearing this, Tanjiro nodded subconsciously.

Although we are not living in a time of war, there are still many homeless orphans.

If Suzuki Seimei was also a homeless orphan who, by chance, received instruction from some samurai, then it would be normal for him to call himself a homeless samurai.

Just as Tanjiro was lost in his own thoughts, Suzuki Seimei suddenly grabbed his arm and asked, "Big brother, those three guys were the legendary man-eating demons, right? Are you the legendary demon slayer?"

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in as Tanjiro Kamado. You are rewarded with a copy of 'Bronze Head and Iron Teeth'. You can claim it at any time."

Skill Name: Copper Head and Iron Teeth

Type: Passive Skill

Level: Cannot be upgraded

Effect: Those who possess this skill have their head defense increased fivefold.

Consumption: None

Cooldown time: None

Note: Please call me Head Pillar!

(ノ￣ー￣)ノノ(o_oノ)

After reviewing the skill attributes of "Copper Head and Iron Teeth", Suzuki Seimei was at a loss for words.

All I can say is that you truly are a pillar of the kitchen!

However, the passive effect of this skill is still very strong; from now on, Suzuki Seimei's head will no longer be his weakness.

After all, with the passive effect of "Copper Head and Iron Teeth", Suzuki Seimei's head defense will be five times that of other parts, making it the strongest part.

“That’s right! Those three guys are indeed cannibals, and I’m a member of the Demon Slayer Corps.”

When questioned by Suzuki Seimei, Tanjiro made no attempt to hide anything and admitted the existence of cannibals and the Demon Slayer Corps.

Judging from the speed and power that Suzuki Seimei displayed when dealing with the "Swamp Demon," Tanjiro believed that as long as he was given a Nichirin Blade, he would be able to slay demons on his own, so he had the idea of ​​bringing him into the Demon Slayer Corps.

Tanjiro suddenly said, "Oh right! I almost forgot to introduce myself. My name is Kamado Tanjiro, and this is my sister, Kamado Nezuko."

Suzuki Seimei stared at Nezuko's sharp fingernails for a moment, then asked with feigned curiosity, "Tanjiro-nii, if I'm not mistaken, Nezuko-neechan is also a cannibal, right?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Tanjiro's expression changed slightly. After a moment of silence, he replied earnestly, "Nezuko is indeed a demon, but she has never harmed a human. I keep her by my side in order to find a way to help her turn back into a human."

"I see, then I'll come and help too!"

"what?"

Seeing Tanjiro's somewhat bewildered expression, Suzuki Seimei said with a smile, "Didn't you say you wanted to help Nezuko find a way to turn back into a human? Well then, I'll help you find one too!"

"Why...why? This is clearly our first time meeting!"

"For the sake of spiritual practice!"

Suzuki Haruaki said in a serious tone, "My teacher once told me that only a warrior who has been through countless battles can become the strongest warrior."

My intuition tells me that by following Tanjiro, I'll definitely encounter many powerful opponents, who will be my best whetstones.

"Then please take care of me from now on!"

Looking into Suzuki Seimei's determined eyes, Tanjiro smiled and extended his right hand.

"Please advise!"

Suzuki Seimei reached out his small hand and shook Tanjiro's somewhat rough hand.

……

The sun slowly rose from the distant horizon, its warm and gentle rays enveloping the entire town and dispelling the darkness and fog.

Suzuki Seimei and Tanjiro first escorted the young girl who almost became food for the "swamp demon" back to her home, and then set off for their next destination - Asakusa, Tokyo!

In the Demon Slayer Corps, besides combatants like Tanjiro, there are also many intelligence agents responsible for gathering information.

Whenever the intelligence agents gather information about the appearance of cannibals, they dispatch professionally trained crows to relay the message to nearby Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen, who are then tasked with slaying the cannibals.

Tanjiro was taking Suzuki Seimei to Asakusa in Tokyo because he received a message from the "Katsura" (a type of yakatsuki) that there were cannibals there.

The town where Suzuki Harumi and his group are currently located is more than a hundred kilometers away from Asakusa in Tokyo Prefecture.

Therefore, by the time Suzuki Seimei and his group arrived in Asakusa, Tokyo Prefecture, it was already dark, and Nezuko had already crawled out of the wooden box.

For Suzuki Seimei, a distance of over a hundred kilometers was not much. Since mastering the advanced level of "Divine Speed ​​Transformation," he could easily travel a thousand miles a day.

The main reason was that Tanjiro's travel speed was too slow, and Suzuki Seimei was completely slowed down by him.

Through Suzuki Seimei's secret observation, he gained a general understanding of Tanjiro's Water Breathing technique.
