Chapter 67 - Kanae is Bullying me!

As the time passed, it was already morning and Tanjiro arrived at their house happily smiling, because all of the coals were sold and he smelled blood but he didn't want to believe it, as he saw their house he saw the damage and some blood outside in the house.

Tanjiro panicked, because he thought something happened to them and he run toward the house and goes inside and he shouted

"Mom!! Nezuko!! Takeo!! Hanako!! Rokuta!!"

He was worried something might have happened to them and was afraid to lose his family. Tanjiro did recall mention of Oni's and believed that they exist.

"Oh Tanjiro-kun, your back?? Be quiet, the rest are sleeping."

Tanjiro turned to see Ryuu behind him and sighed in relief hearing his words. However, he was confused at what happened because of the smell of blood and for the trees to have marks. 

"Ryuu-Nii!? What happened!? Why is our house damaged?! Why is there blood all over the ground outside?! i know those blood isn't yours or my family whose blood was that?! also- "

"Okay okay hold on! Slow down I can't answer it if you keep giving me rapid questions. Now calm down and I'll explain what happened."

And there Ryuu explained to Tanjiro what happened, how Muzan attacked his family and Ryuu defending them that Tanjiro was an amazing feat, Tanjiro had tears in his eyes and thanked Ryuu for saving them. If it wasn't for him, he doesn't know what would happen to his family. He bowed to Ryuu many times.

Ryuu warily smiled and tried to make him stop bowing but he reluctantly bowed and only sighed and let Tanjiro bow to him many times. After a while, Tanjiro finished bowing while Ryuu gave a deep thought looking at him and said.

"Tanjiro, wanna join the Demon Slayer Corps?"

"What is that?"

"It's a group of people who protect the innocent by battling demons that lurk in the night like the one I've fought."

"Of course! I'll join! If it's to protect my family while also saving people's lives then! I will do anything as the eldest brother!"

Ryuu smiled at his conviction without hesitation but frowned at the last part and understood the responsibility for being the eldest one. He may not be the eldest but knew his brother suffered.

"Tanjiro, you don't need to burden yourself too much. I'll carry some of that responsibility and protect you along with the others."

He nodded from Ryuu's words and had long trusted him even more so knew how his mother and sister felt about him. Tanjiro could literally smell people's feelings and personality.

"I know...also please take care of my Kaa-san and Nezuko-chan. You have my blessing."

Tanjiro clasped his hand and bowed, which made Ryuu silent and slightly embarrassed that Tanjiro was giving his blessing. He was worried that his reaction would be livid but it was calm and made confused as to why he had accepted it so easily. Wouldn't it sully the memory of his father?

"W-What do you mean, Tanjiro-kun."

"I know that my Kaa-san and Nezuko are like you. They always look at you in daze and I could smell their feelings from a mile away."

Ryuu wanted to smack himself for forgetting that he had an innate ability to smell things at such a high level that he was able to judge a person based on the aroma they produce. Again, he may have perfect memory doesn't mean it had instant recall.

"Aren't you angry? Mad that I might be stealing your mother from your father?"

"I can never be angry with you, Ryuu-Nii. You had been far too kind and always provided us more than we could ask for with nothing in return. I know it wasn't your intention but I don't want to be the one to refuse my Kaa-san happiness."
