My Only Love- Mitsuri Kanroji x male reader (Discontinued)

Part 11

(Y/n)'s Pov

The Master arrived at the garden, telling everyone he was happy to see us. We all bowed, except Shinazugawa was forcing Tanjiro into a bowing position.

"I am pleased to see you in good health as well, Master. I fervently pray for your continued good fortune." Shinazugawa said, the violent, sadistic loudmouth being replaced with a respectful man.

"Thank you, Sanemi." The Master replied.

"If I may, Master... Before we start the pillar meeting, would you mind enlightening us about this swordsman, Tanjiro Kamado, being accompanied by a demon?" Shinazugawa asked.

"Right. I apologize for startling you all. About Tanjiro and Nezuko... I've sanctioned their situation. And I'd also like you all to accept it." The Master explained.

"Even if it is what you desire, Master, I cannot agree to it."

"I'm flamboyantly apposed to it, as well!"

"I shall do whatever it is you wish, Master!" Mitsuri said with a smile.

"I'm fine either way... since I'm going to forget anyway."

"I won't trust them. I won't trust them. In the first place, I loathe demons." Obanai said, surprising no one.

"Although I respect you with all my heart, that's an incomprehensible notion, Master! I oppose it with everything I've got!"

"The demon slayer corps' mission is to annihilate demons. I request that you penalize both Kamado and Tomioka!" Shinazugawa said angrily.

A silence fell over everyone for a moment, before the Master spoke.

"The letter." He said to the girl on his right.

"Yes, Master. THis is a letter recieved from a former pillar, Sakonji Urokodaki. I shall read you an abridged version. 'Please allow Tanjiro to be accompanied by his sister, a demon. Because of her resilient mental strength, Nezuko has not lost her human emotions. Even in a starved state, she never devoured humans, and this has held true more than two years later. Although the situation seems some what far-fetched, it is an indisputable fact. In the event that Nezuko does assault a human, Tanjiro Kamado, as well as Sakonji Urokodaki and Giyu will atone by committing seppuku." The white haired girl said, reading the letter.

"So what if they commit seppuku? If you want to die, then rot to death for all I care! It's no guarantee! Not by a long shot!" Shinazugawa said, visibly enraged.

"Shinazugawa is right! If she kills and devours a human, there's no coming back from that! It won't bring back the people who were killed!"

"You do have a point." The Master said.

"In that case..." Shinazugawa began, but he was cut off by the Master.

"We can't guarantee that she won't attack humans. We can't prove it. That said... We also can't prove that she will attack humans. The fact is that Nezuko has refrained from devouring humans for more than two years, and also that there are three people risking their lives for her. To reject this notion, those who reject it must offer an even more convincing argument. Do you all have the will to do so? There is also something else I'd like to relay to you, my children. Tanjiro here has met Kibutsuji." The Master said.

That revelation shocked everyone present. People started asking him questions about what happened before the Master silenced everyone.

"Kibutsuji has sent pursuers after Tanjiro. Though his purpose may simply be to silence him, now that Kibutsuji's given himself away for the first time, I don't want to let go. I also believe something's happening to Nezuko that Kibutsuji never saw coming. Can you try to understand?" The Master said.

"No, I can't understand, Master. If it were human, I'd be okay with letting it live, but not a demon! Not after all the demon slayers have gone through in battle! Not after so many people have lost their lives! It's unacceptable! I'll show you the sheer ugliness of a demon!" Shinazugawa said, slicing his arm and letting blood drip on the box.

"Hey, demon! It's time to eat! No need to force yourself to hold back. Just show us your true colors, and I'll obliterate you right here!" Shinazugawa said, his sadistic smile coming back. Obanai pinned down Tanjiro when he started struggling.

"Shinazugawa, if you managed to become a pillar, you should at least know that demons don't show their faces during the day." I said, annoyed at the joy he was taking in this.

"Master, please forgive this discourtesy." Shinazugawa said, stepping into the shade and stabbing the box again. Nezuko got out and stood drooling at the sight of Shinazugawa's blood. Tanjiro struggled until he managed to break his restraints, where Tomioka grabbed Obanai's hand. Tanjiro ran to the edge and called out to Nezuko. After a moment, Nezuko turned away from Shinazugawa's arm.
