Hinode Atsuki

Nezuko-san turned her head away from Shinazugawa's bloody arm in disgust. The breath I was holding released itself. Shinazugawa was stumped. The demon girl was still shaking, it was taking a lot of effort for her ro resist.

One of the twins explained what happened to the blind Ubuyashiki at his request. He then addressed the group, "So now, it's been proven that Nezuko won't attack humans, right?" Ubuyashiki turned to Kamado-san. "Tanjiro... I'm sure that even after this, there are some who can't accept Nezuko. You must prove it to them, starting now. That you and Nezuko can fight as Demon Slayers. That you can be useful."

Kamado-san was quick to bow, head touching the ground. Ubuyashiki told him to go out and defeat a Twelve Kizuki, only then would he and his sister be accepted by all. Kamado-san sat up and promised to defeat Master Muzan-sama, a much bigger task than he was able to achieve.

"As you're ill-equipped to do so right now, Tanjiro, let's start by defeating a Twelve Kizuki, all right?" Most of the Hashiras gasped at Ubuyashiki's response and had to stifle their laughs.

While the humour had been lifted for them, for Kamado-san his embarrassment, I was scowling, having been reminded of the Demon Slayers' goal. They wanted to defeat Master Muzan-sama. I couldn't let that happen. If my enemy wanted information on him from me, they wouldn't get it.

Ubuyahsiki talked about the Hashiras and how much effort and work they put into getting where they were now. After he finished, the two masked Slayers, the one from when we had woken up and the one that had come with Shinazugawa, rushed closer. One took Kamado-san and the other took Nezuko-san, who was back in her box. They left around the corner, I was unsure as to where since I hadn't been fully listening.

"Now then, on to the matter of Atsuki-" Ubuyashiki was cut off by Kamado-san running back over. "Hold on a second!"

The two masked Slayers were quick to follow him. "Come back here!"

"Please allow me to head-butt that man covered in scars!" Kamado-san said, after crashing to the ground. "I gotta-" The two masked Slayers pummelled him and cut him off. "Shut up! Keep your mouth shut!"

It didn't deter Kamado-san. "I gotta head-butt him as many times as he stabbed Nezuko! Head-butting isn't a violation of the Corps rules, right?"

"Shut up! Settle down now!"

"Let go of me!"

"Cut it out!"

The quiet, young Hashira flicked three of the small stones covering the ground at Kamado-san. They hit several specific pressure points, immobilising the boy. "You're not allowed to interrupt the Master." I questioned my existence as he was again taken away.

"Tanjiro... give Miss Tamayo my regards." Ubuyashiki knows of that traitor?!

I didn't have a chance to wonder how he knew of Tamayo since Ubuyashiki invited me and the Hashiras inside.
