Tanjiro inside with Tamayo and Yushiro -

"Tamayo-san, I'm here to ask, is there any way to turn a demon into a human?"
Tanjiro asks in a seiza position

"Yes."
Tamayo answers

"So what is it?!?"
Tanjiro leans a little close to Tamayo.

"DON'T GET TOO CLOSE TO LADY TAMAYO!"
Yushiro says as he punches Tanjiro in the guts.

"Yushiro..."
Tamayo says in an upset tone.

"Yes! Lady Tamayo!"
Yushiro sits back to his original place.

"If you hit that boy one more time, I would never forgive you."
Tamayo says.

"Ah, so how do you turn a demon into a human Tamayo-san?"
Tanjiro asks as he holds his stomach.

"Well, there's no known way to do so but there's always a medicine to an illness, I've tried studying demon blood such as me and Yushiro's and got no results as I am limited to only that. I would need two favors from you, the first. Allow me to take and study your sister's blood, she has been turned into a demon yet she hasn't eaten any human, normally a demon would go berserk if it doesn't consume flesh or blood. Her blood might be the lead to this cure.
And the second favor is a very difficult one, I need either Kibutsuji's blood or demon's whose blood has a high contrast to Kibutsuji. Such demons are called Twelve Kizuki. They serve directly under Muzan, would you be willing to accept this?"

"Yes! Tamayo-san, if that's what it takes to heal my sister."

Tanjiro starts to feel an ominous presence as he says that.

"GET DOWN!"
Yushiro shouts as multiple roots start growing out from the room.

Tanjiro already knows it's a demon attack.

"Nezuko, get the lady and Tamayo-san in the basement"
Tanjiro orders.

"No, its alright, we're demons anyways"
Tamayo says

"Alright then"
Tanjiro replies

Tanjiro dashes out the room as he looks at two demons.

"I'll make sure to kill you brutally, how dare you cut off our master's hand!"
Mukago says.

Tanjiro stays quiet.

Blood Demon Arts - Tangling Roots!

Mukago unleashes her attack at Tanjiro.

Sun Breathing Third Form. Scorching Crimson Mirror

Tanjiro manages to cut off all the roots with two slashes of his sword.

Sun Breathing Seventh Form. Sunflower Lance

Tanjiro tries to stab Mukago's neck but is then blocked by a wall.

Blood Demon Arts - Surrounding Walls

Tamayo's thoughts -

Wait...I remember that breath style, the man who saved me 400 years ago.
She gasps as she realizes how similar Tanjiro looked to him.
Could it be...he was reincarnated?
