Chapter 102
The time passed in a flash.
The third day of the defense of the Swordsmith Village.
"Nezuko, Nezuko, it's me, Tanjiro!"
In the Demon Slayer Corps, Tanjiro, who had just woken up, looked at the girl in front of him with surprise and lifted her high above his head.
"That's great, Nezuko. I thought you were going to die. I'm so glad you're okay."
"That's great, Tanjiro, I'm fine..."
Nezuko reached out and wiped Tanjiro's tears, then bowed slightly to the people around her.
"Thank you for your hard work."
"Ah, Nezuko! You can finally talk!"
Zenitsu, who was healed by the God's Hand, came over with a crutch and saw this scene. He was very surprised.
"Is it for me? Ah, I'm so cute! We can finally get married. Wuwuwuwu..."
Looking at Zenitsu crying in front of her, Nezuko was a little at a loss.
She nodded her head and thought for a while, and suddenly her eyes lit up.
"Huan, welcome back, Inosuke."
An unbelievable voice came.
"Nezuko, what did you call me just now?"
"I, Inosuke, welcome back..."
Pah...
The crutch in his hand fell to the ground, and Zenitsu turned around with sharp eyes.
"Where is that idiot? I'll go kill him now."
"Don't bother him now."
The door was opened, and Fuzugawa Sane came in with flowers and stopped Zenitsu.
"That kid is training because he is upset about not killing Douma. He is really motivated."
Shiya handed the flowers in his arms to Nezuko, then bowed.
"Unbelievable, your behavior proves yourself. I apologize to you for what I did before."
Giyuu, who was following behind, was also a little moved when he saw this scene.
Even if he sincerely recognized Tanjiro and his sister, he never thought that it would end like this.
After all the hardships along the way, he finally saw the light of day.
Tanjiro looked at the visitors with surprise.
"Mr. Fuzugawa, Brother Giyuu, why are you here?"
"We came here with Lord Rengoku. Are Kyojuro and the others okay?" Giyuu replied.
Tanjiro shook his head.
"Big brother and the others haven't woken up yet, but their injuries have healed. By the way, where is Mr. Purgatory? Didn't you come together?"
"That old man is following behind. Who knows why he is so slow?"
Fuzugawa Shiya turned around and looked into the courtyard, and was instantly shocked.
"Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing, Mr. Purgatory!"
Lin Heng in the courtyard took off his black cloak, his whole body was covered with Purgatory fire, and he was moving into the ward little by little.
"Make a fuss, be careful not to scare the patient with such a loud voice."
The door of the ward was closed, and Lin Heng's body was just burned clean by the sun, leaving only a charcoal-black head falling to the ground.
"Three minutes, it seems that this is my current limit."
"It's a nightmare, I must be having a nightmare, right."
Looking at Lin Heng below, Zenitsu gasped and fainted.
"What's going on? Children nowadays have fragile hearts."
Lin Heng, who had quickly regenerated, put on a black robe and stood up again.
Then Nezuko threw herself into his arms.
"Nezuko really likes you." Tanjiro said.
"After all, we are the same kind, so it is easier for us to accept each other."
After teasing Nezuko for a while, Lin Heng raised his head and said seriously.
"Tanjiro, the research on the human transformation drug is about to be completed. As the only demon who can overcome the sun, Nezuko will definitely be the focus of Muzan.
I want to use her as bait to lure out Muzan who is hiding in the Infinite City and completely destroy him."
"This..."
As a brother, Tanjiro knew that doing so was very dangerous.
Although he wanted to kill Muzan very much, he was a little hesitant about Nezuko's safety.
"I can do it. I'll be the bait." Nezuko raised her little hand.
Tanjiro looked at Nezuko who volunteered in surprise, and held her hand with a firm tone.
"Nezuko, my brother will never let you get hurt."
"Don't worry, I will keep an eye on her during this period, and Muzan will not succeed."
After getting the desired result, Lin Heng looked around, and everyone looked at him with convinced eyes.
"Then everyone, in the last three months, please be alert and don't slack off. I wish you all good luck in martial arts."
Everyone
They were refreshed and answered in unison.
"Yes, sir!"
Da, da, da...
"Excuse me, Lord Rengoku."
The door of the ward was pushed open, and the blue-dressed girl with twin ponytails walked in.
Staring at Lin Heng in the center, Kanzaki Aoi bowed slightly.
"Please come with me to the headquarters. There are now results for the things you mentioned before."
"Oh? Really?"
Lin Heng looked up at the girl wearing the [God's Hand] and smiled gently.
"I hope they won't let me down."
He stretched lazily, took the lead and left, waving to everyone in a chic manner.
"Then I'll go first. When you're well, remember to come to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters to find me. I've prepared gifts for you all."
"Yes! Lord Rengoku (Sir)!"
——————————————
In the cool courtyard, Yoya, who could no longer get up, was wrapped in bandages, and the white-haired woman next to him sat gently.
"Yaoya, Shinobu is back, and she also brought the latest news from Miss Tamayo."
"Well, I already know. Please ask Miss Tamayo and Mr. Yushiro to come over as well. The final battle will still require their strength."
After a hesitation, Tianyin continued.
"Regarding the collection of enlightenment, the development of two drugs is progressing steadily."
Yaoya said with some difficulty.
"Really? That's great. Try to meet Mr. Rengoku's request as much as possible, except for that."
"I understand. Miss Tamayo has the same idea."
Tianyin sighed and lowered her head to Yaoya's side.
Tiaoya was also a little hesitant while stroking his wife's face.
"Are you also hesitant about this, Tianyin?"
Tianyin shook her head, a little confused.
"Mr. Rengoku has won the respect of everyone in the team. I just wonder if we will hurt him too much by doing this."
"I don't know, Tianyin, I don't know whether this is right or wrong..."
Ubuyashiki Yaoya turned his head away.
"If there is any guilt, please bear it on me alone.
But I will not let the tragedy of the Ubuyashiki family happen again..."
