Chapter 228 Did I Get Hit by a Train?
"What did Miss Shinobu just say?" Tanjiro couldn't help but ask.
He's probably been too tired these past few days, and his ears are acting up.
"I brought the medicine to turn Nezuko back into a human."
Tanjiro heard him clearly this time, and his eyes widened visibly: "You...you said...Nezuko, Nezuko can...can turn back?"
Tanjiro's tongue was tied in knots, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably with excitement.
Butterfly chuckled and nodded: "Mm."
"Really?" Tanjiro couldn't help but tighten his grip on Nezuko's hand.
"of course."
Shinobu Kocho could naturally understand Tanjiro's feelings of anxiety and uncertainty.
"...That's great." Tanjiro seemed to lose all his strength for a moment.
Seeing her older brother stagger and about to fall, Nezuko instantly grew larger and caught him.
Tanjiro looked at her with tears streaming down his face: "That's wonderful, Nezuko~"
Nezuko didn't understand what he meant, but she could sense his inner happiness, so she smiled and patted his head.
Yu Zi paused for a moment, then regained her composure.
"I haven't hugged you enough yet~" Noticing the commotion beside her, Shinobu Kocho turned her head with a half-smile.
Yu Zi smiled helplessly: "Then you can carry me next time."
Shinobu's purple eyes widened slightly: "You mean I can hold you tonight?"
"Sure, I don't mind."
“This…” Yu Zi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as Yuko agreeing."
Yu Zi forced a helpless smile: "He wasn't this shameless before."
Shinobu Kocho smiled slightly: "Isn't that what they say? Of course, you'll act differently in front of someone you like compared to other times."
Yu Zi's ears turned red, and she lowered her head.
She's so good at it.
Tanjiro was excited for a while, then wiped away a liquid that he couldn't tell was tears or snot, and brought Nezuko to Shinobu.
Tanjiro said solemnly, "Miss Shinobu, I'm entrusting Nezuko to you."
"Don't be so nervous, it'll only take one injection." Butterfly chuckled and waved her hand, taking out the human transformation potion.
The butterfly, suppressing a laugh, reached out to Nezuko: "Nezuko, hold out your hand."
Nezuko obediently stretched out her hands.
Shinobu Kocho simply injected the medicine into Nezuko's body.
As soon as Shinobu Kocho pulled out the needle, Tanjiro asked anxiously, "Did it work?"
Before he could get an answer from Shinobu, he couldn't help but ask Nezuko:
"Nezuko? Can you talk?"
Nezuko didn't seem to react at all.
It's obvious that this child is extremely nervous.
Shinobu Kocho said somewhat embarrassedly, "Tanjiro, relax a little. It will take some time for the medicine to take effect."
Tanjiro wiped his sweat: "Sorry, I was a little too nervous."
No, no, no, remove the "something".
Yuko shook her head: "No, the medicine has already started to take effect."
In her clear vision, the medicine had already spread within Nezuko's body, and she could vaguely sense a change occurring somewhere.
Although she didn't quite understand it, she thought it must be a change at the cellular level.
Theoretically, the goal should be to eliminate the remaining Muzan cells in Nezuko's body.
Of course, she didn't know the specific principles behind it.
She wasn't cut out for this line of work in her past life, so she's even less suited for it in this one. If she weren't dressed in small clothes, she probably wouldn't even be able to recognize many characters.
Upon hearing Yuko's words, Tanjiro, who had just regained some of his composure, turned around excitedly: "Really?"
"..."
Yuko was defeated by his silence.
Tanjiro opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but a youthful voice suddenly came from behind him.
"elder brother……"
The voice seemed to belong to a young girl, but her tone was like that of a child learning to walk, somewhat awkward.
Yuko looked at him with a relieved expression.
Tanjiro's pupils slowly dilated, and he turned around, his shoulders trembling.
The girl behind him didn't seem to have changed at all.
Only her gentle smile spoke of her difference.
Nezuko smiled, as if the medicine hadn't fully taken effect yet: "Brother...brother..."
"Nezu...ko..." Tanjiro was so moved that his expression twisted, and tears and snot kept flowing out, making him look quite disheveled.
He took a step forward, trembling.
Nezuko also took a step forward.
Tanjiro stretched out his hands, trembling.
Great……
Nezuko walked towards Tanjiro with a big smile, and then... as Tanjiro's expression gradually froze, she threw herself into the arms of Ikuko behind him.
"Sister Ikuko~"
The somewhat fluent form of address came out of Nezuko's mouth.
"Crack~" Tanjiro's eyes went limp, his once bright and beautiful appearance instantly turned ashen, a crack appeared on his stiff face, and then he shattered into pieces on the ground.
Tanjiro knelt on the ground, looking like a complete loser.
He's clearly Nezuko's older brother...
Obviously...
Suddenly, someone gently patted my shoulder.
Tanjiro instinctively turned his head around.
Nezuko, smiling, crouched behind him: "Brother, thank you..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Tanjiro uncontrollably picked her up and burst into tears.
"Wow!! Nezuko~"
Yuko hesitated for a moment, then refrained from reminding him that he had snot and tears all over Nezuko's shoulder.
But seeing such a touching scene, she didn't want to spoil the mood.
She looked up, and Shinobu Kocho, who was standing behind Tanjiro, seemed to notice her gaze. The two looked at each other and could see a gentle smile in each other's eyes.
"Um... what's going on? Why is it so noisy?"
Just as the siblings were reunited, the two who had collapsed on either side of the doorway opened their eyes, rubbing their heads in pain.
Inosuke asked, looking rather clueless, "Why am I here?"
"Ouch!" Zenitsu tried to stand up, but was instantly paralyzed by pain and let out a bloodcurdling scream, "Was I hit by a train?!"
"Tanjiro! I've been hit by a train!"
"Inosuke, Zenitsu."
The sudden female voice made the two of them turn to look at the source of the sound.
Tanjiro appears to be hugging Nezuko, but Nezuko cannot speak.
Zenitsu looked at Ikuko with a puzzled expression: "Did you call me just now?"
Yuko shook her head.
That is……
Hearing the commotion beside them, the brother and sister separated. Nezuko turned around and called out with a big smile, "Inosuke, Zenitsu."
Inosuke: "..."
Shanyi: "..."
After a moment of silence, Zenitsu smoothly transitioned from the paralysis caused by being hit by the train to the recovery phase, and suddenly sprang up from the ground.
"Speaking..."
"You, you, Nezuko sauce!!!"
