Kamado Tanjiro Vs Muzan Kibutsuji

Chapter 46 { Oyakata-Sama }

(Tanjiro's POV)

'Good morning everbody. We have some really nice weather today. Is the sky blue? Our members have gathered for the pillars meeting that we hold once every six months as per usual. I find this pleasurable.' the man said.

I was shocked to see the man's appearance. He has light skin and black shoulder length hair. He his skin look as if it was rotting spreading down his face and covering his eyes. Is he sick? Is this person Oyakata-sama? Suddenly my whole body is in pain. I kneel down while panting heavily. My mark reverts back to normal and I cough out a little bit of blood. All the pillars quickly kneel down in a row and greet the man.

Sanemi greets him, 'We eagerly pray for much happiness upon you. We find it most honorable to be in your presence, Oyakata-sama.'

The man slowly kneel down and says, 'Thank you, Sanemi. For your wish.'

Sanemi continues saying, 'Let me humbly say there is a soldier present in the pillar meeting by the name of Kamado Tanjiro who has bought a demon. I would like to explain the scenario. So, will you allow me?'

I just look at him with weirded out expression thinking, 'He doesn't even look intelligent or logical but he spoke so politely.'

Oyataka-sama says in a surprised tone, 'Hmm... Are you Kamado Tanjuro's son, Tanjiro-san?'

I reply, 'Yes, I am. How do you know my tou-san, Oyakata-sama?'

He smiles and says, 'Well my tou-san is friends with your tou-san once, Tanjiro-san. I heard from my tou-san that he was an excellent demon hunter in his time.'

I was surprised to learn my father is a demon hunter! I never heard of him saying he slayed demons before!

He coughed a bit and says, 'Okay, everyone. I'm sorry he has suprised you all. I have given my approval for Tanjiro and Nezuko so I want everyone here to accept that.'

All the pillars was stunned by the man's permission.

Gyoumei says, 'Ahhh... Eventhough Oyakata-sama wishes us to do so, I am reluctant to give consent...'

The Uzui guy also says, 'I also flamboyantly oppose this. I can never accept a demon hunter who brings demons along.

Mitsuri agrees with Oyakata-Sama, 'I will abide with all your accordances, Oyataka-sama.'

The Mist Pillaralso agrees with her, 'Either way is fine for me... I will just forget right away...' Shinobu and Giyu just kneel there speechlessly.

The snake guy hiss angrily, 'Don't trust them! Don't trust them! We all hate demons to begin with.'

The flame guy responds optimisticly, 'I respect you from deep within Oyakata-sama but I can't understand your thinking! I completely oppose this!'

The wind guy complains angrily, 'We are the demon hunters that annhilate all demons. I wish to punish both Kamado and Tomioka.'

The leader of the demon hunter corp just looks at him and orders his daughter, 'Hinaki, now the letter.' Her daugther nodded and take out a letter.

She begins to read out the letter, 'We received this letter from the former pillar, Urokodaki Sakonji-sama. I will read an extract from it—Please forgive Tanjiro for being with a demon. Nezuko has a tenacious spirit and she retains some human reasoning even when she is starving, she doesn't eat humans and she has stayed that way for more than two years. You may find this sudden and difficult to believe but this is the unmistaken truth. If by any chance Nezuko ever attacks someone, Kamado Tanjiro as well as Urokodaki Sakonji and Tomioka Giyu will cut their own stomach as an apology...'

When I heard this letter, I look toward Giyu and started to cry emotionally. I never know sensei and Giyu trusted me this much. They are willingly to commit suicide with me if Nezuko ever attack humans.

Veins starting to budge out of Sanemi's face and yells, 'What should I say if they are gonna kill themselves! If they want to die, they can just died and rot away in hell! There is no guarantee in all this.

Rengoku replies, 'Shinazugawa is correct here! If she kills and eats someone, nothing can be undone! The people who got killed wil never come back!'

Oyataka just smiles at them, 'That is very true. They can't guarantee or prove that she won't attack people but you can't prove she will attack someone either. The truth is that Nezuko has been living without eating people for more than two years and because of her, two people are putting their lives on the line. To deny this, the deniers have to present something more than what it is here. And beside... Tanjiro has come into contact with Kibutsuji.'

All the pillars was shocked by my achievement, 'That can't be... We pillars have never even come into contact withhimand this guy had?!'

They started to ask me aboutKibutsuji,

'What didhelook like? What didhelook like?Hisabilities? Where ishe?!'

'Did you fighthim?'

'What wasKibutsujidoing?'

'Have the headquarters been located?!'

I answer, 'First off, I never seeKibutsuji'sabilities yet but he had a human family. A human "wife" and a human "daughter". He turned one of the people in the streets into a demon. He quickly escaped when I am restraining the demon.'

Sanemi says angrily, 'That cunning demon! He uses other people as bait! It is not enough information about him. We can't locate his location!'

Oyakata-sama just make a slient gesture and all the pillars immediately become quiet.

He continue saying, 'And this goes for Nezuko as well. I believe something unexpected has happened for Kibutsuji. Do you understand?'

The Wind Hashira clenches his teeth hard and says, 'I do not understand Oyakata-Sama. We can let human live but demons must not. I cannot consent.' He quickly snatches his blade from me and lightly cut his own arm. He put his arm on top of the box and let his blood drip onto the box.

He says, 'Oyakata-Sama! I will present to you the ugliness of what we call demons! Hey demon! It's time to eat! Sink your teeth in this!'

I immediately yell at him, 'What the hell are you doing! Let go of the box!' I rush toward him but all the pilars pinned me down except for Giyu and Shinobu.

Iguro looks at me and says, 'Don't you move you brat. Don't get cocky because you're strong but you still lack battle experiences.' I am too tired to push all the pillars away. My whole body haven't recover from the last battle.
