Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

In a sense, Tanjiro, who remembered Muzan Kibutsuji's scent, was a human radar for finding the Demon King. His value was even greater than that of the "Pillars".

The Pillars, who originally wanted to execute Tanjiro and Nezuko, couldn't help but have other ideas.

Apart from Sanemi Shinazugawa and Obanai Yoru, the "Stone Pillars" have begun to hesitate about whether to let Tanjiro and Nezuko go.

"My lord, I still cannot accept having demons as our companions!"

Sanemi Shinazugawa knelt on one knee and said, "If they were humans, I could let them go, but demons are absolutely out of the question!"

In fact, Sanemi Shinazugawa had already conceded. What he just said meant that he agreed to let Tanjiro and Giyu Tomioka off the hook for violating the team rules.

However, because of his tragic childhood, Sanemi Shinazugawa is unwilling to let Nezuko go.

Chapter 516 Tears streamed down her face

"My lord, please forgive my rudeness!"

As soon as Shinazugawa Sanemi finished speaking, he drew his Nichirin Blade and slashed a wound on his arm.

???

Seeing Shinazugawa Sanemi suddenly harm himself, Tanjiro was completely bewildered, having no idea what he was up to.

Standing beside Tanjiro, Giyu Tomioka's expression turned more serious than ever as he watched the blood slowly dripping from Sanemi Shinazugawa's arm.

Because Sanemi Shinazugawa's blood type is "rare blood," and it is a very precious type of "rare blood."

The reason why ghosts devour humans is that human flesh and blood are a great source of nourishment for ghosts.

The so-called "rare blood" refers to blood types that are rare in humans.

For cannibals, the nutrition gained from eating one person with "rare blood" is comparable to the nutrition gained from eating dozens, or even hundreds, of ordinary people.

Sanemi Shinazugawa is also a person with "rare blood," and he is a very special existence among those with "rare blood."

If we compare ordinary "rare blood" to beer, then Sanemi Shinazugawa's "rare blood" is equivalent to vodka.

Sanemi Shinazugawa's blood not only has a strong allure to demons, but it can also cause demons who smell his blood to fall into a state of deep intoxication.

The reason why Sanemi Shinazugawa, who was just a child at the time, was able to fight his mother, who had turned into a cannibal, until dawn with only a kitchen knife was because his blood had driven his demon-turned mother into a state of drunkenness.

Let alone ordinary man-eating demons, even the Upper Moon demons among the Twelve Demon Moons would be affected by Sanemi Shinazugawa's blood.

"Crack crack crack..."

Before Tanjiro could figure out what was going on, a strange noise suddenly came from the wooden box on his back. It was obvious that Nezuko had smelled the "rare blood" and was starting to get restless.

"Ghosts really can't be trusted!"

Seeing the slightly trembling wooden crate, Shinazugawa Sanemi became even more certain that his worries were not unfounded. He brought his bleeding arm to the side of the crate and said with a cold smile, "Come on! Stop suppressing your true nature and let me kill you right here and now!"

Yin Hei Xiaoban touched the white snake wrapped around her neck and reminded her in a cold voice, "Shikigawa, you can't do it under the sun. Demons only appear in shady places."

Of the nine "pillars" present, everyone hated cannibals, but the ones who hated cannibals the most were Obanai Yoru and Sanemi Shinazugawa.

"My lord, please forgive my rudeness!"

As soon as Shinazugawa Sanemi finished speaking, he revealed a sinister sneer, snatched the wooden box from Tanjiro's back, and then jumped into the courtyard with the box in his hand.

"Pfft! Pfft!"

Without giving Tanjiro a chance to react, Sanemi Shinazugawa raised his Nichirin Blade and stabbed Nezuko twice in the wooden box.

"Nezuko! You bastard, I..."

Upon seeing this, Tanjiro suddenly shrank back, then roared and charged towards Shinazugawa Sanemi, as if he were ready to fight him to the death.

"boom!

! ”

Tanjiro had only taken two steps when Giyu Tomioka forcibly pinned him to the ground.

"Quiet! The real test has only just begun."

While suppressing Tanjiro, Giyu Tomioka said expressionlessly, "Demons feel even hungrier when they are injured."

If Nezuko hadn't been able to resist the temptation of the 'rare blood,' she would have died here today.

"You, me, and Mr. Urokodaki must also commit seppuku to atone for our sins!"

"...Nezuko."

Upon hearing Giyu Tomioka's words, Tanjiro immediately stopped struggling and looked at Nezuko, who was slowly crawling out of the wooden box, with a worried expression.

To be honest, Tanjiro isn't afraid of death. Nezuko is his only remaining family member. If Nezuko has to die here today, he will definitely die with her.

However, Tanjiro didn't want to implicate Giyu Tomioka and Sakonji Urokodaki.

If they were to commit seppuku as an apology for vouching for Nezuko, then Tanjiro would have no face to see them even in death.

Therefore, Tanjiro could only pray silently in his heart that Nezuko would resist the temptation of the "rare blood"!

"Uuuuuuu..."

Amidst the serious and worried gazes of everyone, Nezuko slowly crawled out of the wooden box, ignoring the knife wounds on her body.

Instead, she stared wide-eyed at Shinazugawa Sanemi's wound, her saliva dripping from the bamboo tube onto the ground.

"Hahaha……"

Seeing Nezuko's uncontrollable drooling, Sanemi Shinazugawa said in a tempting tone, "Don't be shy, come on, eat! Don't suppress your true nature..."

snort!

Just when Sanemi Shinazugawa thought Nezuko was about to lose control, Nezuko suddenly clenched her fists, turned her face to the side, and closed her eyes tightly.

"What?!"

Upon seeing this, Shinazugawa Sanemi's eyes widened suddenly, and he couldn't help but show an expression as if he had seen a ghost.

Judging from the uncontrollable drooling of Nezuko, Sanemi Shinazugawa was certain that his "rare blood" was very tempting to her, but he never expected that she would be able to resist such temptation.

You should know that Sanemi Shinazugawa just deliberately stabbed Nezuko twice. Even a stray dog ​​would want to bite if it was stabbed twice for no reason, let alone a demon!

Kagaya Ubuyashiki, who had been listening intently, smiled gently when he heard Sanemi Shinazugawa suddenly fall silent and asked, "How did it go?"

"The girl named Nezuko turned her head away."

Ubuyashiki Nikko replied in a clear voice, "Even after being stabbed twice by Lord Shinazugawa and facing her bloodied wounds, she still did not harm anyone."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki said calmly, "If that's the case, shouldn't that be enough to prove that Nezuko won't harm humans?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Shinazugawa Sanemi and Obanai Yorihiro, though still resentful, could only remain silent in the face of the scene before them.

Let alone a demon like Nezuko, even a normal human would be unable to resist retaliating if stabbed twice for no reason.

To some extent, Nezuko's willpower not only surpasses that of demons, but has even far exceeded that of humans.

Even if Shinazugawa Sanemi and the others were unwilling, they had no reason to attack Nezuko again.

"I think even so, there will definitely be people who can't tolerate Nezuko. Prejudice in people's hearts is like a mountain."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki turned to Tanjiro and said in an extremely gentle tone, "Tanjiro, you must prove that from now on, you and Nezuko can be used like the other Demon Slayer Corps members."

Chapter 517 We're Professionals Unless We Can't Help It

"Hi!"

Upon hearing Kagaya Ubuyashiki's words, Tanjiro was slightly taken aback, then knelt down with a respectful expression.

"boom!

! ”

No sooner had Tanjiro finished speaking than a short figure suddenly rushed into the courtyard and sent the still-stunned Shinazugawa Sanemi flying with a single punch.

"This punch was delivered on behalf of Nezuko!"

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, Suzuki Seimei slowly walked up to Nezuko and stared coldly at Shinazugawa Sanemi, who was coughing up blood, saying, "I allow you to test Nezuko with your own blood, but I absolutely forbid you from hurting her with your Nichirin Blade."

"Even if Nezuko were still human, let alone now that she's a demon, it's only natural that she would retaliate after being stabbed twice for no reason!"

In fact, when he saw Shinazugawa Sanemi stab Nezuko with a knife, Suzuki Seimei couldn't help but want to take action and get rid of him.

However, Suzuki Seimei was also well aware that if Nezuko didn't undergo such a test, not only would Shinazugawa Sanemi and the others not be able to accept her, but even Kocho Shinobu and the others would definitely not be able to accept her.

That's why Suzuki Seimei waited until the test was over before making a move against Shinazugawa Sanemi; that punch just now broke at least three of his ribs.

"you you……"

"boom!

! ”

Before Shinazugawa Sanemi could even curse, Tanjiro, who had been released by Tomioka Giyu, suddenly rushed over and headbutted him, knocking him unconscious.

"Waaaaah..."

Perhaps understanding Suzuki Seimei's intention to protect her, Nezuko, drooling, reached out and hugged him, rubbing her chin against the top of his head.

o(>﹏

Yamete~~~

Faced with Nezuko's affectionate gestures, Suzuki Seimei couldn't enjoy it at all. Instead, he struggled fiercely and could only watch helplessly as her saliva flowed down from the top of his head.

"……puff……"

Seeing the disheveled state of Shinazugawa Sanemi and Suzuki Seimei, Kanroji Mitsuri held back for a long time, but finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.

shhhhhh...

Upon hearing Kanroji Mitsuri's laughter, everyone instinctively turned their attention to her.

"I'm...sorry..."
