"Shinazugawa, You can't do it in the sunlight. The demon won't come out unless you go to the shade" Obanai mentioned,
"Oyakata-Sama, please forgive my rudeness" Sanemi sprinted towards the estate with Tanjiro still in his box and placed it down behind Oyakata-Sama and the two twins.

Sanemi raised his blade again,
"TANJIRO!! STOOOOP!!" Nezuko tried to run towards Tanjiro but was stopped by Obanai elbowing her in the back,
'I can't breathe... I can't move!!' Nezuko panicked.

Sanemi stabbed Tanjiro's box,
"COME OUT HERE DEMON! HERE'S SOME OF YOUR FAVOURITE HUMAN BLOOD!!" Sanemi taunted. He then swung open the lid off the box,
"..." Tanjiro started to grow back to his original height and he stood up at the same time. He looked at Sanemi's bleeding arm, he was sweating and angry.

"Iguro-San, you're pushing her too much. Loosen up a bit" called out Shinobu. Obanai turned his gaze over to Shinobu,
"But she keeps trying to break free, y'know?"
"...Kamado-Chan, your lungs are under pressure, so if you use your breathing techniques, you'll rupture your blood vessels".

"Ruptured blood vessels!! That's gonna make a flamboyant sound!! Okay, do it! Rupture them!" Mitsuri just looked up at Uzui concerned,
"You poor thing... what a weak pitiful child. Namu Amida Butsu..." Gyomei prayed.

Tanjiro was still staring at Sanemi's bloody arm. Nezuko some how broke the ropes that were binding her hands together. Obanai was about to grab at her but Giyuu grabbed his hand, giving Nezuko enough time to crawl up to the edge of the estate,
"TANJIRO!!" Nezuko called out. Tanjiro was able to take his gaze off Sanemi's arm and look to Nezuko,
'People... are... to be helped and protected. I cannot hurt them. I must never hurt them'.

Tanjiro closed his eyes and turned his head away from Sanemi,
"Hmph"
"What happened?" Oyakata asked,
"The demon boy turned away. Even though Shinazugawa-Sama stabbed him three times and then offered his bloody arm for him to feed on, but he controlled himself... and didn't bite him" one of the twins explained,
"In that case... Tanjiro has proven he won't attack people".

Obanai aggressively took his arm out off Giyuu's grip,
"What're you planning Tomioka...?" He glared at said male,
"..." he didn't reply,
"Nezuko, despite this, there will still be other people who won't willing agree about Tanjiro".

Nezuko suddenly realised where she was and quickly moved backwards and bowed,
"Proof was needed, and now we have it. So... from now on, Nezuko and Tanjiro will fight for the demon slayer corps together. Defeat one of the twelve kizuki. If you do, they will accept your words and recognise the value of your presence" Nezuko spoke up,
"I... TANJIRO AND I WILL DEFEAT MUZAN KIBUTSUJI!! WE WILL NOT FAIL!! I'LL USE MY BLADE TO BREAK THE CHAIN OF SADNESS!!".

Oyakata smiled,
"You can't defeat him as you are now, Nezuko. Do first, try and defeat one of the twelve kizuki first" Nezuko's face turned red from embarrassment,
"Yes, sir" Oyakata continued,
"It goes without saying that the Hashira in the demon slayer corps are extremely talented. They climbed their way up the ranked by training to the point they coughed blood, and they survived being on the verge of death... amd defeated members of the twelve kizuki. That is exactly why the pillars are to be respected and treated well. Nezuko you should also be careful about how you speak to them".

Only Nezuko's cheeks where red now,
"Y...yes, sir."
"And then Sanemi, Obanai, don't bully the younger ones too much"
"...as you command..." they both replied,
"That is enough talk on this subject. Nezuko... you may leave. It is time for the hashira meeting to begin".
