Tanjiro was looking at the sight of blood, as he was starving , as Samei's arm was bleeding out from the cut he had made to determine the truth that Tanjiro is capable of being a Demon Slayer like Nezuko claims he could be. 

Samei looks at the demon boy, as he urges him to take the blood from him. "C'mon! What you waiting for?!? 

I know that you absolutely get this! You wanted this so badly , so, don't you just take it already! " 

Nezuko was in total pain from Iguro, as Kocho was looking at the Demon Pillar as she said, "Iguro, you're pushing way too hard on her." 

"Kocho, relax. I'm just trying to prevent her to stop moving. She's really quite prescient." He replied to the Insect Butterfly Pillar. 

She seems to be amazed of the girl as she said, "Nezuko. You know if you keep using your breathing technique, your lungs would burst." 

Nezuko couldn't hold her emotions any longer as she watches of how Samei was treating her brother, she broke the ropes that bind her, which made Iguro to be in total shock and stunned of her sudden reaction. 

He was about to go after the girl, but he was held back by Giyu, who seems to be pissed off of that he was hurting Nezuko and wanted to protect her from having another injury. 

Nezuko ran towards the balcony , where she wants to tell her brother something so important. 

"Tanjiro, com'on! You can beat this! " She yells to the demon boy as she was worried of him going berserk and go out of control in front of the Pillars and the Master. 

Tanjiro thought back of the day that he and Nezuko first encounter Giyu and she was protecting him from being killed. 

"Tanjiro is my older brother! I know that he wouldn't do such a thing!" She yelled at Giyu. He also remembered Mr. Urokodaki's words. "All humans are your family. Protect them. " 

Tanjiro said, "Mr. Urokodaki was right. Protect the humans. They deserve to live and be protected. Nezuko risked her life multiple times to save others, and she is trying her hardest and the best she could. 

I will never hurt a human, and I wouldn't let my sister down, no matter what it takes." 

He took one last look at the blooded arm of Samei, as he was offended of the blood, as he turns his head, rejecting the offer of getting blood from him. 

It stunts the twelve Pillars of seeing this resolve , as to never seeing a demon rejecting the sight of blood before. 

Nezuko sigh of relief of seeing of her older brother's actions as she thought in her mind, "That's amazing , Tanjiro. Well done." 

The Master was unaware of what just happened, as he turns to one of the girls to give him some insight of the subject. 

"What just happened?" He asks her. 

"Well, the demon boy turns his head in disgust. Although that he was stabbed by Samei three times, and displaying the blood from his arm, it appears that he retained himself and did not bite." She explains the situation. 

He seems to be pleased of how the outcome was, as he said, "It seems this is the proof that Tanjiro wouldn't attack humans."

Nezuko seems to be amazed of this outcome as well, as the Master turns to her, giving her advice, "Nezuko. There would be others who wouldn't accept your brother like this. 

It's up to you to prove to them from now on, do you understand?" 

Nezuko quickly bows in respect of the Master of the Demon Crops, as she appreciated of what he has said to her and also given her and her brother the respect they deserved. 

She thought, "What is this feeling? It's like I'm actually flowing. His voice. Is it because of this man's voice that I'm feeling so light in my head?"

The Master said, "Go on and defeat a Twelve Kizuki. Do that and you both will be accepted by all. And it will add more weight to your words." 

Nezuko took a deep breath as she said, "You can count on us. I .. no, Tanjiro and I will defeat Muzan Kibutsuji for everything he has done in the past! 

The Master chuckled at her, "Well, you seemed to be enthusiastic, although, you ill-equiptted to do so , Nezuko. 

But let's just start things slow a bit before you challenge Muzan again by killing a Twelve Kizuki, all right?" 

Nezuko blushed as she was so embrassed of how she was reacting in front of him , due it was so out of character of her to act this way. 

"Yes. Of course!" She said. 

Mitsuri couldn't hold it any longer as she stiffed out a laugh. She thought, "You can't laugh! You can't laugh no matter what! " 

Kocho chuckles slightly as the Master said, "It goes without saying, that the Hashiras of the Demon Slayers Crops have phenomenal skills. 

After training themselves to the death, they have defined death, and they defeated the Twelve Kizukis.

Rengoku nodded with admiration and pride of the Master's words, "A good attitude to have!" 

The Master continues, "That is why the Hashiras receive respect and preferential treatment. So, Nezuko, mind your manners when you speak. " 

Nezuko seems to be aware of what the Master was saying as she stutters in respect, "Y-yes , sir!" 

The Master turns to Samei, "One more thing, Samei. Iguro, don't ever try doing something rash without my permission ever again. " 

Tanjiro was inside his box, as he puffs in anger of what Samei had done to him as Iguro and Samei bows to apologize to their master. 

"As you wish." They said. 

The Master said, "That concludes you and your brother, Tanjiro. You may step back now if you please." 

Kocho raised her hand in offering, "Um, I don't mind if I take both of them to my house for healing. " 

Nezuko was stunned of hearing it as she said, "You got to be kidding me. Right now?"

"Take them away, please!" She said, as the Demon Slayers followed her orders. 

They begin to take them away from the Pillars. 

"Now then, let's begin the Hashira Meet-" The Master began to say as Nezuko said, "Wait , before I go, can I say something to the Master? Can I at least head-butt the one who gave me a tough time?" 

Tokito was annoyed by her actions as he threw a pepple rock at her as it hit her hard. 

"Don't ever interrupt us again. Just get her out of our sight." 

The Demon Slayer grabs her into his back as the Master said, "Nezuko, please give Ms. Tamayo my regards. " 

Her eyes widen in surprise of hearing her name as she never suspected that the Master knew Ms. Tamayo. 

"How did he know that I was helping Ms. Tamayo?" She thought as they leave the Pillars. 

The Demon Slayer seems to be watching her, as she said, "That was pretty reckless of you, you know that? We got yelled at because of your actions! Apologize!" 

She sighed as she knew it was indeed reckless, "I'm really sorry you guys . I didn't mean for you to be in trouble because of me. I feel stupid." 

"Nezuko, you are just still a newbie. It' s all right that it took a day for you to adjust. You just met the Hashiras for the first time. It's always scary of meeting them. So , don't ever regret it." She advised. 

Although Nezuko had met the Hashiras, it still be shocking of seeing Giyu again for a long time, and in top of it all, that she discovers that he was the Water Hashira of the Demon Slayer Crops. 

"I can't believe that I got to see Big Bro Giyu again. I hope that I got to see him again. " She mumbles. 

The Demon Slayers arrived to their destination. "Hello! Anyone home?" 

They looked around as the boy Demon Slayer scoffed, "They didn't answer the front door. Who does that?"

"Well, I suggest we check out the yard. Maybe someone would be there." The girl Demon Slayer suggested. 

The boy asks, "Nezuko, can you walk on your own?" 

She replied, "I'm sorry. It's just after that battle I've had, my whole body aches like crazy! I couldn't walk on my own yet. The Headquarters was nothing I ever imagine it would be, and this mansion, it's incredible!" 

She notices a butterfly as she said to them,  "Come to think of it, isn't this place called , "The Butterfly Mansion?" 

They stopped to see Kanao who was interacting with a butterfly. 

"Hey, It's Lady Kanao!" The Demon girl said as Nezuko gasps of remembering her at the Final Selection. 

"Whoa. So, that's Kanao? She was in the Final Selection! She was able to be elected to be here with the Hashiras?" She thought. 

"Why is Kanao here?" She asks as the boy said, "Don't forget, she was the one who stomped you last night. 

Kanao is a Tsuguko. A Tsuguko is a swordwoman trained by a Hashira . Only the ones who are potential and mind-blowing skills are allowed to be trained by one. " 

The girl walks over, as she bows in respect to her, "Please excuse us, Lady Kanao. We brought Nezuko and Tanjiro here . We were ordered to bring them here by your sister, Kocho. It is permission to enter?"

She didn't reply back as another girl ask, "Who are you?"

They were startled by her appearance, as she said, "We were sent by Kocho!"  

"Are you a Kakushi?" She asks, "You brought an injured person, correct? Follow me." 

As they entered the Imfriry, Nezuko heard a familiar voice she hasn't heard in a while. 

"Five times?!? I have to take five times a day?!?" Zen said, as he was shocked of hearing of the medicine he has to take. 

"And I have to take this medicine for three months?!? No way I'm going through with this! " 

The girl sighs, "He'll never get better if he complains a lot." 

The Kakushi and Nezuko arrived to see Zen . "Oh, thank god! Zen! " She thought. 

She smiles of seeing her companion as she was relieved to see he was all right. "Hey, Zen! Zenitisu! You ok? Are you hurt?"

Zenitisu seems to recognize who was calling to him , as he turns around to see her all beaten up with scars all over her. 

"Nezuko. Oh man, Nezuko! I'm so sorry that I wasn't there to help you out! I'm such a coward!" 

"What you saying? I'm just relieved you came from down the mountain all safe and sound. I was worried about you!" She replied, "So , what the heck happened to you?" 

"Well, I got poisoned by the demon Spider back then, and now the poison is hurting me like absolutely crazy! " 

"Zen, so, by bitten by the spider, it changed your appearance as well?" She asked curiously. 

"Well, I was almost got turned into a spider, Nezuko. It's quite amazing of how it would swell down. I have to slow the poison down with my Breathing in order to work." He explains. 

"Oh, I see. That explains a lot then. Wait a second. If you're here, I suppose that Inosuke is here too, right?" She asks Zenitisu about their other companion, "Or have you seen Murata?"

"I don't know any Murata, but yeah. Inosuke's right here next to me." Zen replies to her. 

She saw their companion, as she exclaims, "Inosuke! " 

The Kakushi sighs as he drops her as Nezuko said, "I'm glad you were all right! I was worried about you too. I'm so sorry that I didn't rescue right away." 

Inosuke didn't reply back to her for a moment then said, "Hey, Nezuko , don't worry about it. It's fine. " 

Zen said, "I heard that he lost his voice during the fight . I don't know all the details of how it happened since I was brought here. " 

Nezuko was on the bed next to her friends as she sighs of looking at them. 

She said, "I'm glad I've friends that had my back, considering of how badly we're injured we are from that battle. 

Things would be a lot interesting from here on ." 

Later that evening, she was able to bring Tanjiro to a room that he would stay until she recovers from rehab. 

"You can come out now, Tanjiro. They said that you can use this room while I'm recovering. " She said. 

She sat on the bed as she winces the pain she had gotten. 

"Ow. I guess that I really outdid myself at Mt . Natagumo. It hurts. It hurts like crazy, like hell. " She thought. 

She said to her brother, "Hey, Tanjiro, thanks a lot. For protecting me on Mt. Natagumo against Rui. I've never be able to make it that far without your help.

It's not just you protecting me. Giyu and Sensei, they risked their very lives to protect us. I'm more grateful to them for what they had done.

For that, I.. I have to be stronger than I am now, to maintain their faith in me. Also, the Master, he was able to save both of us . " 

She thought, "That man's voice, it's so smoothing, like in a mysterious way. I haven't figure out why that is yet. " 

She turns her head to see her brother fast asleep as if he was exhausted for the day. 

"Oh, right. I forgot. You're sleep-deprived , aren't you? I promise that I will turn you back into a human, big bro. Count on it." Nezuko said. 

The Master was held the Meeting as he said to the Hashiras, "Just like you reported, The demon's  carnage has increased more than ever. 

It means that the threat to the human life is greater than it's ever been. In doing so, we must rank up the Demon Slayers. 

What you guys think we do?" 

Samei said, "The incident at Mt. Natugamo made it crystal clear. The Demon Slayers weren't all well prepared when they were on the mountain. Their trainers were useless. " 

Tengen said, pointing out, "Well, how about that girl, Nezuko? She was pretty reckless of what she had done today. I'm impressed of how she was handling the situation. " 

Renguko said, "Well, having Nezuko confronting a Twelve Kizuki after joining the Demon Crops, it makes me envious of her! She has the true potential of using that power of her if she can master them." 

The Master said, "I totally agree with that, Renguko. But having a Lower Five make a drastic move like that , that meant that Muzan isn't on the mountain as we hoped he would be. 

It is possible that that he was making a diversion to drive us off. It's utter frustrating. 

But there are demons who are still be freely devouring humans, to gaining strength and to survive. 

For those who had died, there is only one thing we must do. 

I believe that among the Hashiras who are present today, I've assembled the finest unit since the First Breathing swordsmen of the feudal era. 

My children, I look forward to your success. " 

The meeting ended as the Master said, "Muzan , I swear that I'll end you once and for all. We will not fail this time. "
