Demon Slayer: Tanjiro becomes a ghost, Nezuko becomes a pillar!

Chapter 73 Farce

As Zenitsu struggled little by little in his dream, the stinging pain in his ears was like being pricked by needles, and he suddenly opened his eyes.

What came into view was a furry wild boar's head, bent over, its round eyes curiously peering at him.

The next instant, Zenitsu's scream pierced his throat: "Ah!!! There's a wild boar!"

He scrambled and stumbled toward the half-open cubicle, nearly scared out of his wits.

Inosuke stood there, looking around blankly, wondering to himself: [Where are the wild boars? Where are they?]

But when Zenitsu opened the door to the cubicle, he saw a scene that made his blood pressure rise.

A little devil with red hair, baring his fangs, pressed his hand on the top of Mi Douzi's head.

Mizuko was momentarily taken aback by Zenitsu's scream, and showed a surprised expression, which Zenitsu noticed.

Zenitsu then quickly analyzed the current situation in his mind.

There are wild boars, there are ghosts... are they planning to eat me, and then eat the beans?

After quickly analyzing the situation in his mind, Zenitsu's expression gradually darkened, and a cold voice came from his mouth.

"You wicked demon, how dare you lay a hand on Mizuko! I'll chop you down!"

"Huh? A demon? Where is it?"

Tanjiro and Nezuko were both puzzled, and then they looked at each other.

But it was that one glance that made them realize who Zenitsu was referring to as the evil spirit.

Just as they were about to explain to Zenitsu, they saw that Zenitsu had somehow obtained his Nichirin Blade, and then, with a gloomy face, he drew the sword and spoke.

"Die, you evil spirit!"

"No, no, no, Zenitsu, you've misunderstood. This is my brother..." Nezuko quickly waved her hands, trying to explain.

"Hey, hey, um, I'm not... oh, I am... oh?"

Tanjiro repeatedly raised his hand to say that he was not a demon, but no matter how he said it, it just didn't sound right.

However, Zenitsu's hearing had not recovered yet, and he could only watch Tanjiro waving his hands awkwardly.

"You evil spirit, are you scared? I'll send you to hell right now!"

"Hey! Want to fight, you blondie? I'll fight you!"

Inosuke, wielding two swords, appeared beside Zenitsu without anyone noticing.

Seeing the two deaf people standing together, Nezuko and Tanjiro instantly felt overwhelmed.

In an instant, the small cubicle became a mess.

Tanjiro dodged left and right, trying to avoid Inosuke's twin swords while blocking Zenitsu's Nichirin Blade, all the while explaining himself.

"It's really a misunderstanding! Inosuke, listen to me! Zenitsu, calm down!"

Midouzi could only follow behind them, jumping up and down in frustration, unable to be pulled back no matter what.

"Red-haired devil, prepare to die!"

Inosuke brandished his twin swords and kept shouting.

"You wicked devil, how dare you mess with Mi Douzi! I'll chop you up!"

Zenitsu, his face grim, continued to swing his Nichirin Blade at Tanjiro.

"Enough, all of you, stop!"

Finally, having no other choice, Nezuko shouted and smacked Inosuke's boar head mask hard, then slapped Zenitsu on the head.

After the crisp sound, the room finally quieted down for a moment.

In an instant, the four of them sat in the room. Tanjiro sat next to Nezuko, letting out a long sigh with a bitter expression.

Across from them, Zenitsu, seeing Nezuko's angry expression, could only awkwardly rub his head and sit there fidgeting.

Meanwhile, Inosuke, wearing a boar headgear, snorted coldly with his nostrils pointing to the sky.

Knowing that the two of them couldn't hear her, Nezuko could only use paper and pen to clearly explain her relationship with Tanjiro.

After looking at the contents of the paper, Zenitsu understood the cause and effect.

Soon, he changed his demeanor, looking at Tanjiro with a fawning expression and a swaying body.

"Tanjiro... I'm sorry about earlier. I thought you were mean to Nezuko, so I intervened."

Upon hearing this, Tanjiro quickly smiled and waved his hand, indicating that it was alright.

But the next second, Zenitsu's words left Tanjiro stunned.

"Brother, I am Mi Douzi's fiancé. Don't worry, your problem is my problem. I will definitely heal you with Mi Douzi."

Tanjiro stared stiffly at Nezuko beside him, even though he knew Zenitsu liked her when they met on the path.

But I never expected Zenitsu to like Nezuko so much.

However, when Tanjiro saw Nezuko blushing and scolding Zenitsu for talking nonsense, he also smiled.

However, soon after, Inosuke, who was standing to the side, angrily tore up the paper that Nezuko had written and shouted loudly.

"I can't read, so now it's time for our duel!"

After saying that, Tanjiro and Nezuko both looked at Inosuke, while Inosuke pointed at Tanjiro.

Just as Nezuko was about to dissuade him, Tanjiro stopped her and shook his head.

"He won't give up unless we fight him!"

As Tanjiro spoke, he stood up, looked at Inosuke, and then pointed to the courtyard.

When Inosuke saw that Tanjiro had finally agreed to his duel, he immediately jumped up from his spot and went to the courtyard.

Zenitsu looked at Tanjiro and Inosuke with some confusion, but he still understood the meaning of their words from Tanjiro's lip movements.

Then he and Mizuko sat at the doorway and watched the duel between the two of them.

Inosuke, brandishing his twin swords, pointed them directly at Tanjiro. "Come on, you red-haired, broad-browed demon, let's settle this once and for all!"

Tanjiro sheathed his Nichirin Blade to ensure he wouldn't harm Inosuke, then assumed a defensive stance.

"Who is Ni Douzi?"

Zenitsu sat next to Nezuko and pointed at Inosuke, asking a question.

Later, through the words written by Nezuko, Zenitsu learned about Inosuke's situation, but Zenitsu was thinking about something else.

【Ahhh!!! These were all written by Mi Douzi, all written for me by Mi Douzi! I'm going to hide them away, no, I'm going to keep them as family heirlooms! Mi Douzi's handwriting is so beautiful!】

Meanwhile, Nezuko was completely engrossed in watching Inosuke's duel with her brother, oblivious to Zenitsu grinning foolishly at the words she had written.

In the courtyard, Inosuke lost his composure first, stomping his feet on the ground and slashing his twin swords down at Tanjiro's shoulder with a sharp whistling sound.

Tanjiro dodged the fierce attack by sidestepping, and with a slight flick of his wrist, he precisely grabbed Inosuke's wrist.

Inosuke felt a sudden, skillful force, and the two swords in his hands almost slipped from his grasp.

He immediately switched to his other hand and swung the blade horizontally, forcing Tanjiro to let go and retreat.

After dodging the attack, Tanjiro couldn't help but confirm it in his mind.

He really wants to kill me!

"Hahaha, scared now? Keep going!"
