Tamayo Smiling at Tanjiro, saying, "I didn't feel uncomfortable at all. Compared to regular demons, it was quite easy. I can freely control my body, so I was able to remove Kibutsuji Muzan's curse."
Tanjiro rubbed his forehead in confusion, "Control your body? What do you mean by curse?"
Tanjiro and Hijou Feiye followed Tamayo and Yushirou down to the basement, the wooden stairs creaking slightly.
The door to the basement was slowly pushed open, revealing a spacious and bright space with various books and antiques hanging on the walls, resembling a small museum.
"I can survive without consuming humans, just a small amount of human blood is enough." Tamayo She smiled slightly, took off her doctor's gown, revealing a kimono embroidered with gorgeous patterns.
The environment here is completely different from above. The walls are stacked with layers of books and scrolls, and an old oil lamp emits a faint light, making the whole room appear somewhat dim.
These books and scrolls seem to hold countless years of history and knowledge, quietly lying here.
In an exquisitely decorated Japanese-style room, Tanjiro, Hijou Feiye, Tamayo, and Yushirou sit by the fireplace.
Every detail of this house appears extremely elegant, from the artwork hanging on the walls to the porcelain on the coffee table, all reflecting the owner's refined taste.
The burning firewood in the fireplace releases a warm glow, illuminating every corner of the room.
Tanjiro furrowed his brow and asked, "Drinking blood? What's going on?"
"Perhaps it will make you feel unpleasant," Tamayo continued after sitting down, "We purchase blood for transfusions from people with not-so-good economic conditions. Of course, the quantity is controlled very small, and it won't have any health impact on those people."
Tanjiro thought, "I see... no wonder these people don't have the unique foul smell of demons, is it also because of this reason? But in any case, we still need human blood. In that case, Nezuko can also..."
Hijou Feiye seemed to understand Tanjiro's thoughts and gently pushed him, saying softly, " Nezuko doesn't need it, she just needs to sleep."
Tanjiro was surprised, then looked at Feiye in confusion, "How did you know what I was thinking?" But he quickly regained his composure and continued to listen attentively to Tamayo.
Tamayo turned to Yushirou, "Only a small amount of blood is enough for Yushirou, as I turned him into a demon."
At this moment, Hijou Feiye turned their gaze to Nezuko rolling on the ground, their eyes shining with joy, "So cute, like a cute pet." She immediately started playing with Nezuko, seeming uninterested in the conversation because she already knew all the plot twists in the manga.
Tanjiro looked puzzled and asked, "Wait, you're the one who turned him into a demon?" His voice held a hint of surprise, as if he hadn't expected such a turn of events.
Tamayo She smiled and nodded, "Yes, this is also for his own good."
At this point, Nezuko had already crawled to a corner of the room, starting to play with some ancient scrolls.
Hijou Feiye looked at this scene, filled with joy in their hearts. She walked over gently, picked up a book, pretending to take it away. At this moment, Nezuko immediately showed a cute expression, as if saying, "That's mine!" Hijou Feiye couldn't help but laugh and returned the book to Nezuko.
Tanjiro had a surprised and puzzled expression on his face, as if he had heard some earth-shattering secret: "But... huh?" Tanjiro frowned, always believing that only Kibutsuji Muzan could turn people into demons. "Could it be that everything my teacher told me was wrong?"
Tamayo smiled slightly, looked at him with understanding eyes, and continued to answer: "Well, it's understandable that you're surprised. Indeed, apart from Kibutsuji Muzan, in general, others cannot increase the number of demons. This should be correct."
She took a deep breath and continued, "After my observation and experiments for over two hundred years, the only one who could successfully become a demon in the end was Yushirou."
Tanjiro widened his eyes, clearly still digesting this sudden information: "Wait, are you saying that after over two hundred years, the only person you turned into a demon is Yushirou? Then, Tamayo miss, how old are you?"
Yushirou immediately retorted, "Don't ask a lady about her age, you rude fellow!" He aimed a punch at Tanjiro.
"Ah!" Tanjiro felt like he was about to get hurt.
Hijou Feiye, it seems like I've heard some incredible information. Although she already knew it, hearing it at this time inevitably leads to some associations.
Is the drug that Tamayo used to turn Yushirou into a demon similar to the one used by the doctor who turned Muzan into a demon a thousand years ago, even if the drugs may be somewhat different, but the method is the same?
But Feiye plans to ask later, for now, let's listen to their conversation and then go catch Nezuko.
Tamayo warned seriously, saying, " Yushirou, if you hit him again, I will definitely not spare you."
"Yes, Tamayo-sama!" Yushirou immediately became obedient, thinking to himself, "So this is how beautiful Tamayo-sama looks even when she's angry."
Tamayo held a purple sachet in her hand. Her light purple eyes met Tanjiro's, and she gently said, "I hope you don't misunderstand. I don't turn people into demons casually. I only do so when facing someone who is about to lose their life. And, I always ask them first if they are willing to become a demon before taking action."
Tanjiro held the sword at his waist, his eyes filled with determination. He sniffed the scent of Tamayo and thought to himself: "Her scent is unadulterated and somewhat refreshing. If it's her, I should be able to trust her."
" Tamayo, is there any way to turn a person who has become a demon back into a human?" Tanjiro asked cautiously.
Tamayo Upon hearing this question, she smiled slightly and said, "This question, I think we need more time to discuss."
Hijou Feiye Holding a Sun God symbol in hand, but filled with doubt in their hearts, "Tanjiro asking this, do you not trust me? After all, I did promise to help him find a solution."
She looked into the distance and saw Nezuko playing. She looked lively and cute, like a little animal, evoking a sense of endearment.
"This little one is really cute," Hijou Feiye thought, "but I can't interfere too much in their fate. If they rely on me every time, what will they do if I'm not around one day?"
"There is a way to turn ghosts back into humans," Tamayo said, with a mysterious glint in her light purple eyes.
Tanjiro's eyes instantly ignited a spark of hope, and he almost rushed forward, clenching his fists tightly: "Please tell me!"
At that moment, a figure quickly flashed by, pushing Tanjiro down and rolling him to the other side. The person was Yushirou, Tamayo's guard.
"Don't get close to Tamayo-sama!" Yushirou said sternly, hands still not lowered.
Tamayo's expression suddenly darkened, she stared tightly at Yushirou, her mouth slightly downturned, looking like she was about to get angry: " Yushirou..."
Yushirou immediately put away his stern attitude and put on a meek expression, with a slight sweat on his palms: "Tamayo, I just threw him out, I didn't beat him."
Tamayo slowly turned her head, looked at Tanjiro, and then turned back to Yushirou: "No matter what, it's not allowed."
Tanjiro stood up, brushed off the dust from his body, and then respectfully said to Tamayo: "I'm sorry for the trouble. But if there's a way to turn demons back into humans, I really want to know."
Tamayo looked at him, and his deep eyes seemed to see through his heart: "I understand your feelings, but this method comes with great risks and costs."
Tanjiro answered without hesitation: "No matter what the cost, I am willing to bear it."
Tamayo Slowly sitting down, her gaze passed through the dim light in the room and intertwined with Tanjiro's. Her eyes looked very serious.
"No matter what kind of injury or illness, there will definitely be corresponding medications and treatment methods. It's just..." Tamayo paused, as if organizing her words, "At this stage, I cannot turn demons back into humans."
Tanjiro's face immediately sank, and the feeling of disappointment consumed his hope like a black hole.
Tamayo took a deep breath and then calmly said, "But I will definitely work hard to research a cure."
Tanjiro's eyes reignited a glimmer of hope as he stared intently at Tamayo, as if searching for certainty.
"In order to create a healing medicine, it is necessary to investigate a large amount of blood from demons. Therefore, I would like to ask for two things," Tamayo said each word with a weighty significance.
"First, I want to investigate the blood of your sister, Nezuko," Tamayo looked at Tanjiro without flinching.
Tanjiro's heart raced. He thought for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, if this can help find a cure, I'm willing to cooperate."
"Second, obtain blood as much as possible from demons with a large amount of Kibutsuji Muzan's blood."
Tanjiro's heart rate accelerated again, but this time it was due to a different emotion: excitement and challenge.
"Nezuko is currently in an extremely rare and special condition. About the two years of slumber, it seems that her body has undergone changes during this time." The words of Tamayo made Tanjiro even more focused.
"Usually, if one goes so long without consuming human flesh or the flesh of beasts, undoubtedly they would become ferocious. This miracle will surely become the key to the future!" Tamayo's gaze became even sharper.
Tanjiro took a deep breath and solidified his determination: "I understand, Tamayo -sama. I will do my best to complete these two missions."
