Tamayo immediately sensed something was wrong and quickly took out a small bottle containing a special fragrance called "Confusion Scent." She swiftly opened the bottle, but found that this fragrance had almost no effect on the two demons.
" Yushirou, go deal with the ball demon! I need to treat Nezuko first," Tamayo ordered solemnly.
Yushirou nodded and took out his Sun Wheel sword, preparing for battle.
Hijou Feiye, seeing this scene, finally decided to join the battle. She took out a long sword, which emitted a faint sunlight.
"Let's take on this ball demon together, Yushirou," Hijou Feiye said calmly.
Yushirou and Hijou Feiye rushed towards the ball demon almost simultaneously, their sword lights intertwining to form a dazzling beam. The ball demon was thrown into a bit of a frenzy by this sudden attack.

Hijou Feiye Gripping the longsword that radiates with the light of the sun, turned to Yushirou and said, "Support me with your shared vision."
Yushirou nodded, a thought flashing through his mind, and he quietly began to use his vampire art - Visual Sharing.
Hijou Feiye The first one rushed towards the ball demon, wielding his sword, "Breath of Light - First Form: Sunrise Glory!" A brilliant sword light like the sun instantly tore through the night sky and shot towards the ball demon.
Yushirou followed, using his vampire technique to suddenly distort the visual perception of the entire battlefield, leaving the ball demon momentarily disoriented.
Taking advantage of the ball demon's disorientation, Hijou Feiye once again swung their swords, this time using a continuous sword technique, "Breath of Light - Type 2: Sunrise Glory Dance!" The sword light danced in the air like a performer, drawing beautiful arcs.
Yushirou uses vampire techniques to share vision with Hijou Feiye, allowing them to anticipate the next move of the demon. Upon sensing it, they immediately relay the information to Hijou Feiye.
Hijou Feiye receive Yushirou's message and instantly understand the situation.
She took a deep breath, her whole aura changed, "Breath of Light—Type Three: Radiant Sunlight!" A stronger beam of light than any before burst from the tip of her sword, directly aimed at the Ball Demon.
The Ball Demon was caught off guard by this sudden intense light, finally revealing a weakness.
"It's all over! Hijou Feiye gritted their teeth and made a sudden slash towards the neck of the ball demon.
The ball demon's body turned into a puff of smoke, disappearing into the night sky."
Tamayo Seeing this scene, I smiled at the still recovering Nezuko and said, "Look, we won."
Nezuko nodded, although her face still showed pain, her eyes were full of gratitude.
Hijou Feiye put away their swords and walked over to Nezuko and Tamayo, "It's all over, we should move forward."
Yushirou retracted his demon art and nodded, "Yes."
Tamayo took this opportunity to quickly move to Nezuko's side, and swiftly took out some herbs and ointment to begin emergency treatment for Nezuko's broken leg.
"Nezuko, you haven't been eating meat. Prolonged battles will wear you down. Injuries take longer to heal for demons than for humans. You'll have to endure a bit longer, but I'll make sure you recover as soon as possible," Tamayo said gently.
Nezuko nodded, although she was in great pain, she knew that Tamayo was for her own good.
In this deadly battle, Tanjiro felt an unprecedented pressure. The hand-eye demon in front of him not only had superb skills but also had a bizarre attack style. But at this critical moment, Tanjiro tightly gripped the sword at his waist, with a sun wheel pattern engraved on the hilt, determined to settle the outcome.
"Second Form - Water Wheel!" Tanjiro shouted loudly, and the sword light swept like a raging flood, instantly sweeping towards the hand-eye demon.
The Hand Demon agilely dodged, its five fingers like hooks, swiftly striking towards Tanjiro. Tanjiro's sword veered slightly, receiving a shallow wound from the Hand Demon's claws.
"Dance of the Fire God - Flowing Dance!" Tanjiro, without missing a beat, swiftly changed his sword technique, attacking the opponent as if with several continuous streams of flowing water.
The Hand Demon sneered coldly, and with unusually flexible movements, evaded Tanjiro's attack. He then struck back with a claw, tearing through Tanjiro's arm.
"Fourth Form - Striking Tide!" Tanjiro didn't dare to hesitate, and his sword light immediately surged like a raging tide, rushing straight towards the Hand Demon.
This time, the Hand Demon felt the pressure and had to use all his strength to resist. His multiple tentacles were like dark ink tendrils, attempting to counter Tanjiro's attacks.
"Fifth Form - Blessed Rain After the Drought!" Tanjiro changed tactics, his sword energy raining down like a gentle attack aimed at wearing down the opponent's stamina.
The Hand Demon felt a wave of discomfort, as he was never good at dealing with prolonged battles. But at that moment, he launched a fierce counterattack.
Tanjiro felt a sense of crisis, urgently evading, but still received a wound from the opponent.
"Form of Land - Twisting Whirlpool!" Tanjiro instantly gathered all the power in his body, and the sword light was like a whirlwind, sweeping towards the Hand Demon.
This time, the Hand Demon couldn't completely dodge and was scratched by Tanjiro's sword light. His expression finally changed, obviously not expecting Tanjiro to have such strength.
"Form Seven: Water Surface Slash - Turbulent!" Tanjiro saw through the opponent's transformation and swiftly pierced the hand demon's arm like lightning with his sword.
The hand demon let out a miserable scream, finally realizing that he might lose.
"Eighth Form - Waterfall Basin!" Tanjiro knew this was the best time to end the battle, as the sword's light transformed into a powerful waterfall-like force, completely suppressing the Hand Demon.
Finally, Tanjiro raised his sword and shouted, "Waterfall - Sword Slash!"
A flash of sword light, and the head of the Hand Demon flew up, instantly turning into a puddle of black smoke and disappearing.
He turned around and saw that Tamayo, Hijou Feiye, and Yushirou had all successfully defeated the Hand Demon and collected its blood.
Hijou Feiye With this blood, I can finally conduct my research.
At this moment, he deeply felt the importance of companionship and was also happy that he was able to successfully defeat the Hand-Eye Demon.
"It looks like everyone is working very hard." Tanjiro thought to himself, feeling a warm sensation rising from the bottom of his heart.
Tamayo finished treating Nezuko and walked over to Tanjiro, saying, "You've worked hard, Tanjiro."
Tanjiro smiled and responded, "Everyone has worked hard, I just did my part."
Hijou Feiye and Yushirou also walked over, their faces showing a satisfied expression after the victory.
"We should leave here quickly," Hijou Feiye reminded, "There might be other ghosts nearby."
Yushirou nodded, "She's right, we need to find the next hiding place as soon as possible."
In the basement on the second floor, a deep and profound silence envelops the air, only occasionally broken by the sound of the wind through the broken windows, disrupting this kind of silence.
At this moment, Tanjiro, Hijou Feiye, Nezuko, Tamayo, and Yushirou are all standing there, facing each other, each carrying their own emotions and issues.
Nezuko runs over like a homesick child and quickly embraces Tanjiro and Feiye. Her movements are gentle and eager, her eyes filled with anticipation. After hugging them, she turns and runs to embrace Tamayo and Yushirou.
Tamayo looked at Nezuko with suspicion and asked worriedly, "Is she okay?" His eyes revealed a hint of inexplicable anxiety.
Feiye chuckled lightly, as if understanding Nezuko's heart, "She's fine, she just sees you as her mother and Yu Shirou as her little brother."
Tamayo felt a warm feeling in her heart, hugged Nezuko, and tears welled up in her eyes: "So that's how it is."
At the same time, Yu Shirou seemed unhappy, his face immediately turned dark: "Why am I the younger brother?" he complained, staring at Nezuko with wide eyes.
Nezuko seemed completely unconcerned and lightly tapped Yushirou's forehead in her unique way. This took Yushirou by surprise, and his expression softened slightly.
Suddenly, Tamayo turned to Feiye and Tanjiro and asked, "But the suggestion Nezuko received, does it view humans as family?"
Yushirou immediately answered with a hint of tension and dissatisfaction in his tone: "We are demons, stop it!" Watching Nezuko keep touching him, he seemed to feel a little uneasy.
Tanjiro took a deep breath, trying to ease the atmosphere, and said to Tamayo: "It's because Nezuko judged you as a human that she's protecting you."
Tamayo After listening, tears welled up in the corners of his eyes. Perhaps after being a demon for so long, he had forgotten what it felt like to be human. Now being regarded as a human by Nezuko, he felt an indescribable emotion.
Tanjiro continued, "Although I don't like Nezuko being hinted at by people, she still retains her personal consciousness, this is really..." At this point, he suddenly noticed that Tamayo was already teary-eyed, and his heart tightened.
Tanjiro showed a panicked expression and quickly said to Nezuko: "I'm sorry, Nezuko, please let go quickly, this is very disrespectful!"
But Tamayo held on even tighter, with a choked voice: "Thank you, Miss Nezuko."
Yushirou's eyes became slightly moist. He looked at Tamayo, a calm-faced female doctor, recalling the words she had said to him initially. He remembered the day when he was close to death, and Tamayo appeared in front of him, asking him a question.
"Do you want to live? Even if you're no longer human, do you still want to live?" Tamayo's face at that time was so serious, as if this question was crucial to his life.
"However... living as something other than human will be very difficult and painful. You need to think it through, okay?" A cold light shot from Tamayo's eyes, and her voice echoed in his heart.
In the nearby small prison, a man bit the wooden-like bars, his eyes filled with madness and despair. The woman wrapped in cotton, however, appeared so peaceful in her sleep.
