Nezuko stood there glaring at Sanemis blood with anger and desperation.
I knew she wouldn't, right?
I heard iguro push his elbow harder into Tanjiros back.

" hey! Ease up you sadist..."

I glared at him.

" I'm only holding him down because he's trying to move..."

Yeah right...
I could tell Tanjiro was attempting to use his breathing.

" Tanjiro, if you use your breathing now your veins will burst.."

Tengen laughed.

" his veins will burst?! How flamboyant does that sounds! "

I hit tengen which he returned with a glare.
Suddenly I heard the ropes of Tanjiros snap.
We instantly looked over and saw Tanjiro free.
Before iguro could do something giyuu grabbed his hand letting Tanjiro go.
Tanjiro ran to the entrance and called Nezukos name.
Nothing happened for awhile.
Nezuko suddenly turned her head away with disgust.
I instantly smiled.
She fought it!
Sanemi stood there shocked with his stupid face.
Master asked what happened and his girls explained the situation.
He turned towards us and said.

" so now, it's been proven that Nezuko won't attack humans, right? "

He then turned to Tanjiro.

" Tanjiro, even after this, there will be some that won't accept Nezuko...you must prove to them that you and Nezuko can fight as demon slayers..."

Tanjiro looked at master amazed, suddenly he bowed to him.
He must have felt his effects too.
His voice is the key.

" go out and defeat a twelve kizuki... do that, and you'll be accepted by all... it'll also gives more weight to your words."

Tanjiro looked up determined.

" Me, Nezuko and (y/n) will defeat Muzan kibutsuji! We will destroy the sword of grief!!"

I sat there shocked and confused.
We?!
Master looked down to Tanjiro with a closed eye smile of his.

" as you're ill- equipped to do so right now, Tanjiro, let's start by defeating a twelve kizuki, all right?"

Tanjiro got super embarrassed while me and mitsuri looked at each other and covered our mouths holding in our laughs.
Shinobu took a quick glance at me and let out a tiny squeal.
That almost broke me.
I covered my mouth with both of my hands and regretted looking up at kyojuro.
Sure enough he looked down at me with a toothy smile.
I covered his face, paying attention to Tanjiro.

" it goes without saying, that the demon slayer corps have phenomenal skills. After training themselves to death they have defied death, they also defeated a twelve kizuki."

Tanjiro looked at me shocked.
Me still trying not to laugh instantly sat up properly and waved.

" that's why the hashiras receive respect and preferential treatment."

Tanjiro looked back to master.

" so, Tanjiro, mind your manners when you speak."

"Y-Yes, sir!"

Master turned to Sanemi.

" one more thing... Sanemi... obanai..."

Iguro lowered his head.

" don't torment the younger ones too much..."

" as you wish..."

Iguro said.
Sanemi frowned to master and went to one knee.
