Tanjiro was also too concerned. His supernatural sense of smell didn't detect that there was no murderous intent on Hori Gaku's body. He was just pretending to kill Nezuko.

The stubborn boy tried his best to explain, and only then did Hori Gaku"hesitantly" put away the knife.

After a lot of explanations, although he knew what the Kamado siblings had experienced before, Hori Gaku still listened patiently.

How to say it? The sudden change and the siblings' misfortune really made those who heard it sad and those who saw it cried.

In the end, Tanjiro mentioned the name of Tomioka Giyuu, and Hori Gaku was completely"calm", so the three of them could talk face to face.

Hori Gaku nodded, as if he had suddenly realized something:

"If it's Tomioka Giyuu-senpai, then you two are more trustworthy, but it's not a ghost that can hurt people.……"

Horitake looked at Nezuko and marveled at her. He seemed to be amazed, but in fact he was simply admiring her cuteness and beauty:"A ghost that doesn't hurt people is unheard of and unseen.""

"Please ask the senior……"

Hori Gaku waved his hands and said generously:

"My name is Horitake, I have no surname, I am an orphan, you can just call me by my name."

As a kind and polite boy, Tanjiro would of course not call his senior by his name:

"Mr. Horitake, are you the same person as Mr. Tomioka Giyuu?"

"Well...how should I put it? We are a civilian organization that specializes in fighting demons, the Demon Slayer Corps! Senior Tomioka Giyuu is a high-level fighter in the Demon Slayer Corps, known as a pillar.

As for me, I am not a formal member of the Demon Slayer Corps yet, but a trainee of the Demon Slayer Corps, and I am now going down the mountain for training.

Of course, my strength is not weaker than that of ordinary teammates of the Demon Slayer Corps."

Hearing these new terms, Tanjiro was mostly confused, and just when he was about to ask, Horitake spoke first:

"Didn't Senior Tomioka Giyuu introduce you to Senior Urokodaki? Senior Urokodaki is one of our Demon Slayer Corps trainers. If you can become his disciple, you will be like a student of the Demon Slayer Corps, and you will be able to learn about these things gradually."

Patting Tanjiro on the shoulder, Horitake comforted him:

"Don't worry, isn't your destination Sakakiyama? It is indeed the best place you can go at the moment."

Tanjiro nodded as if he understood, and then quickly asked the question he was most concerned about:

"Horitake-senpai, do you know if there is a way to turn a demon back into a human?"

Glancing at Nezuko next to him, Horitake:

"For your sister?"

"Yes!"

"Turning a demon into a human... As far as I know, there is no such thing!"

Tanjiro was a little discouraged, but he immediately cheered up:

"It's okay, I'll keep looking."

"Very good! Very energetic!" Hori Gaku patted Tanjiro on the shoulder with great appreciation and encouraged him:"It's a good thing to have hope, Tanjiro, don't give up hope."

Tanjiro nodded seriously.

"But the focus now is not Nezuko, but you, kid!" Horitake suddenly changed his tone to a gentle one and said to him angrily

"ah?"

"Nezuko is a ghost now, and her recovery ability is amazing. In just this moment, she has squeezed the fang darts out of her body, but what about you?"

Hori Gaku grabbed Tanjiro's arm, pointed at his bleeding wound and the fang stuck in the wound:

"It may not seem like the bone is injured, but this is the fang that spewed out of the ghost's mouth, how many germs are there on it! ? You must bandage the wound immediately and disinfect it immediately!

There are no antibiotics for you these days. If your wound gets inflamed... hehe, your life will be in danger. It doesn't matter if you die by then, who will you entrust your sister to? Entrust her to me! ?"

Tanjiro reacted, his style suddenly changed, he was panicked, covering his arm and yelling:

"Ah! What should I do!? Senior Horitake! What should I do with this injury!?"

Horitake was as steady as an old dog:

"No hurry, pull out the fangs first."

Without saying anything, Horitake pulled out the long fangs from the wound on Tanjiro's arm, and blood immediately spurted out of the wound!

Tanjiro became even more impatient:

"Ah! Horitake-senpai! It's gushing blood! It's gushing blood!"

"Don't yell, yelling is useless, it will only speed up your bleeding."

Hori continued to be as steady as an old dog, tearing off a long piece of cloth from his robe, quickly wrapping it around the base of his arm, and the blood flowed less quickly

"That's it for now, we have to rush to the next town and disinfect and bandage it, the sooner the better!"

Horitake acted decisively, motioning Nezuko to get into Tanjiro's backpack:

"Nezuko, your brother is injured and can't carry you. Let me carry you for a while. Be good and listen to you."

Nezuko looked at Horitake cutely, tilted her head, thought for a moment, and then shrank into the backpack.

Tanjiro was a little surprised:

"Eh? Nezuko is actually willing to believe in Horitake-senpai?" Horitake covered the backpack with a cloth, took it on his back, walked forward, and motioned Tanjiro to follow:

"What are you still dawdling about? Hurry up and catch up!"

"Yes!"

Tanjiro, covering his arm, quickly followed Horitake's steps:

"Horitake-senpai not only saved us, but also helped me so much. Horitake-senpai is indeed a good person."

"Uh... What a pity, Tanjiro, even if you are a boy, please don't say that I am a good person."

"Why? Am I not praising you?"

"In my hometown, giving out nice guy cards is considered rude"

"Eh? There is such a thing? But Horitake-senpai, you just said you are an orphan.……"

"Shut up! Just listen, no opinions allowed!"

"yes……"

The two of them quarreled and hurried away like a pair of brothers.

In the afternoon, Horitake and the other two came to a town. They quickly found a doctor in the town and urgently disinfected and sutured Tanjiro's wound.

The wound on Tanjiro's arm was deep and the bone was visible. The injury was not light.

During the disinfection and stitching, Tanjiro endured the severe pain, his face turned pale, and his head was covered with cold sweat, but this kid relied on his tenacity to bite the gauze tightly without making a sound, which made the doctor admire him again and again.

The reason why Tanjiro endured not making a sound was that he was afraid of burdening Nezuko in the backpack.��

However, the brother and sister are connected by heart. When Tanjiro suffered severe pain, Nezuko in the basket subconsciously felt a little uneasy, and arched her back under the thick cloth, as if she wanted to come out.

Hori Gaku stroked Nezuko's head through the cloth, and miraculously calmed her down.

After the treatment was over and the payment was made, Hori Gaku carried Nezuko on his back and helped Tanjiro, who seemed to be exhausted, out of the clinic.

Looking at the brother and sister in a bad state, Hori Gaku shook his head helplessly:

"Forget it, I'll be a good person to the end. Let's rest in this town for one night, and tomorrow I'll just take you directly to Kyogiri Mountain."

Tanjiro thanked Horitake for his kindness with a pale face:

"Horitake-senpai... not only did you save us and help me so much, you even paid for the doctor's visit. I really can't accept your kindness anymore.……"

"Come on, how can you take your sister to Xiawu Mountain in your current state?"

"But...how can I repay your kindness, Mr. Horitake, in the future?"

"How about waiting for Nezuko to turn back into a human and let her be my bride! ?"

"What!? This... this... this……"

Nezuko in the backpack at the back arched

"You must be joking. This matter hasn't even started yet. Let's go and find a place to stay first."
