Chapter 61: A Brother and Sister Like Other
"This is...... My sister. β
Tanjiro's face showed momentary hesitation, but he still told Ryuxia the identity of the girl, "I told you before during the final selection, my family was killed by ghosts, and only my sister survived. β
When he said this, the look on Tanjiro's face was inevitably a little lost.
"Hmm!"
As if sensing his mood, the girl beside him tilted her head, as if she wondered why he was lost, and then sighed softly, giving him a little comfort as much as she could.
Tanjiro came back to his senses and smiled warmly at the girl, and the look on his face returned to optimism.
"However, in fact, I didn't tell you at that time that my sister Youdouzi also became a ghost because she was infected with the blood of the ghost when my whole family was killed by the ghost, and the reason why I wanted to join the ghost killing team was to find a way to turn You Douzi back into a human through the ghost killing team."
Because Ryuxia's identity background is also that the whole family was killed by evil spirits, and what happened to Tanjiro is almost exactly the same, so, Tanjiro has a sense of empathy for him.
People who have suffered the same tragedy are always easy to get close to each other.
Coupled with the friendship he formed during the final selection, the relationship between the two is actually quite good, so he doesn't mind telling Ryuxia about it.
"My sister has become a ghost...... It's like that again. β
Ryuxia glanced at the brother and sister in front of him, and he didn't expect that he would encounter this kind of thing for the second time in a short period of time.
In the village controlled by one of the ghosts, Ryuxia also meets the elder brother who is still human, but the younger brother becomes the Murakami brother of the alien ghost.
It's just that compared with the Murakami brothers, the pair of Kamato brothers and sisters in front of them are obviously different.
Murakami himself is extremely afraid of his younger brother, who has become a ghost, but he hypnotizes himself with brotherly love, making them seem to have a deep affection between their brothers, but in fact they only put a beautiful canvas on top of the cruel reality.
But the two brothers and sisters of the Kamado family, just at first glance, give people a completely different feeling from the brothers of the Murakami family, and the atmosphere of mutual trust, mutual comfort, and mutual care is absolutely impossible to fake.
Looking at the pair of brothers and sisters in front of him, a certain interest that disappeared because he saw through Murakami's brother's true thoughts resurfaced in Ryuxia's heart.
"You're not afraid of being touched by the swordsmen of the Ghost Slayer Team, and you plan to eliminate all evil?"
Ryuxia stared directly at Tanjiro, and a rare look of interest appeared in her amber pupils, "For the Oni Slayer Team, Oni has never distinguished between good and evil, and has always killed people. β
This is also a helpless thing.
After becoming a ghost, the memories of the original human period will gradually disappear from the mind, forgetting one's previous identity, forgetting one's former family, and forgetting everything in the human period.
After becoming ghosts, the only desire they have is to eat people.
After a person becomes a ghost, it is probably because of the huge energy consumption that the newly born ghost often produces unbearable hunger and an unbearable desire to eat people.
At this time, any human who appears in their eyes is no different from their food, and they will pounce on each other and eat it all raw, just like a beast on an empty stomach for several days.
In the records of the ghost killing team, not to mention neighbors or irrelevant passers-by, there are even many examples of man-eating ghosts directly attacking their family members and eating them all after turning from humans into ghosts - because when they become ghosts, it is often their family members who remain by their side.
As a result, there will be many tragedies such as eating family members alive, husbands, wives, sons, daughters, ...... All those who were close to them in the past will become food for their mouths.
And they will flee unconsciously, and then continue to prey on other humans, causing more tragedies and harming the world.
Therefore, when facing ghosts, the ghost killing team must not allow the slightest mercy, as long as any evil ghost eats people, they must be killed mercilessly.
Even if it's a ghost who hasn't eaten a person before, I'm afraid it won't be an exception.
Because no one can guarantee that the ghost who didn't eat people before will not eat people for the rest of his life, even if the ghost only eats one person after that, and only causes the collapse of just one family, then it is all the sin of the ghost killing team.
In order to prevent possible tragedies in the future, it is impossible for the ghost killing team to spare any ghosts.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with using the word jealousy and hatred to describe the ghost slayer team.
Tanjiro's sister, Kamado beans are the same.
As long as she is found to be a ghost, whether she has eaten people before or not, most of them will face the fate of being killed.
This is also the reason why Tanjiro hesitated when answering Ryuxia's question before-he was also worried that Ryuxia was the kind of character who would be merciless to ghosts, so he turned his face and did it directly to Youdouzi.
There's no way, Ryuxia's identity is set to be killed by ghosts, and under such an identity background, it's understandable that he would have the idea of 'killing all evil ghosts'.
Moreover, just as Zenitsu has far beyond ordinary people's hearing and can hear the feelings in other people's words, Tanjiro also has a sense of smell far beyond ordinary people, and can also smell other people's moods, and even can smell the weaknesses in other people's moves, which is a very powerful and convenient ability.
Shanyi couldn't hear the feelings in Ryuxia's words, Tanjiro couldn't smell Ryuxia's mood, and neither of them could tell Ryuxia's good and evil from good and bad.
The reason why I established a friendship with him was just out of the very simple idea of 'wanting to believe him', in other words, it was a simple good personality.
"Of course I'm afraid, but even then, I'll definitely protect Youdouzi!"
Tanjiro's voice had a firmness in his voice that made Ryuxia look sideways, and his eyes swelled with a will that would never waver.
ββ¦β¦ Do you have the consciousness to protect your sister even if you sacrifice your own life? β
Ryutsu looked Tanjiro up and down, her eyes locked on him, trying to find a hint of fear on his face.
However, Ryusha was disappointed.
"Of course...... However, I also hope that kind of scene will not come, haha! β
Tanjiro scratched his cheek, a slightly embarrassed look on his face.
The brothers and sisters of the Zaomon family are really different from the brothers of the Murakami family.
"Interesting."
As if seeing what she wanted to see, a faint smile appeared on Ryuxia's lips, "In that case, don't easily expose your sister to the eyes of the Demon Slayer Slayer, otherwise it will lead to the scene you don't want to see coming early." β
In Ryuxia's eyes, Tanjiro's act of easily exposing his sister to his eyes still seemed too naΓ―ve, and if his Spirit Base Ascension Mission I hadn't been completed, he probably wouldn't mind taking his sister as a filler.
If you want to protect your sister, this mentality is not enough.
After Ryuxia finished speaking, she ignored the two of them and turned around and walked towards the nearest ramen shop.
ββ¦β¦ Ryuxia-chan? β
"Let's have dinner first, if you don't mind, you can come along, I'll have a treat."
