The moment he was pulled inside, Kurozawa saw a small face full of tension.
A young boy, about fourteen or fifteen years old with a clear appearance, stood with his arms spread wide like a protective eagle, his eyes filled with vigilance, staring intently at Kurozawa and Kanae beside him.
Behind this boy, the person he was desperately trying to protect was a girl who looked about the same age as him. Their appearances were similar, so they were likely relatives. The girl had the Fighting Spirit characteristics of a Demon.
Seeing this situation, Kurozawa roughly understood the problem Kanae was facing. He turned to look at Kanae: "What do you say?"
Kanae's gaze was fixed on the boy's face, which was tense to the point of trembling. She sighed softly and said, "I asked their names. The boy is Hyuga Wu, and the other one... the other person is his sister. Her name is Hyuga Nai."
"Kurozawa, this child's sister just turned into a Demon not long ago. This is the first time I've encountered this situation. Also, he's been blocking me. If I get close, he threatens to kill himself."
The gentle and kind Kanae couldn't bear to see Hyuga Wu's desperate pleas. Moreover, Hyuga Nai's small body had been silently shrinking back, head lowered, her weak appearance making it difficult for her to feel any murderous intent.
At this point, the ruthless Kurozawa had become the target of Kanae's plea for help.
Kurozawa understood Kanae's meaning. He nodded lightly and looked at the Hyuga siblings again.
Hyuga, Kurozawa was very familiar with this surname. Unfortunately, this brother and sister couldn't use ninjutsu, and their eyes weren't Byakugan, but Golden Eyes, which were also very rare in this world.
"Why are you protecting her?"
Kurozawa's gaze was sharp. He could see sharp fangs in his sister Hyuga Nai's mouth behind Hyuga Wu; she already had the appearance of a Demon.
"She's my sister! Don't hurt her!" Hyuga Wu's voice was agitated, and he gritted his teeth as he replied.
"You should know that your sister has become a Demon. She's no longer human."
"You're protecting her like this, but she'll just tear you to shreds when she's hungry, eating your flesh and blood piece by piece," Kurozawa said calmly. His voice at this moment was like a cold wind, completely different from Kanae's gentle tone.
Hyuga Wu took a step back, the vigilance in his eyes intensifying: "No, Nai is my sister. She won't hurt me, and she hasn't hurt me."
Clearly, Hyuga Wu didn't take Kurozawa's words to heart.
The bond of kinship outweighed the fear of an unknown creature. He still had a heart full of love and care for his sister who had turned into a Demon. Kurozawa could see that Hyuga Wu was a good brother who loved his sister dearly.
Instantly, Kurozawa felt that the current scene was somewhat familiar. After a breath, he suddenly remembered the two protagonists from the original trajectory of the Demon Slayer world.
The brother, Tanjiro Kamado, and the sister, Nezuko Kamado... they were also siblings, and when faced with a Demon Hunter, they showed the same attitude.
No wonder the scene felt familiar. It turned out he was playing the role of Giyu Tomioka from the original work. Fate, sometimes, was truly wondrous.
"Your sister is no longer here. What's behind you now is just a vicious Man-Eating Demon. Her not hurting you doesn't mean she'll spare others. Besides, can you guarantee that she'll never hurt you?"
Because the situation with these siblings was similar to Tanjiro and Nezuko, Kurozawa had much more patience.
Perhaps Hyuga Wu was another Tanjiro.
"No, she won't! I know my sister, she would never hurt me!" Hyuga Wu's emotions were very unstable, and he shouted loudly.
Words in this situation were too pale. They couldn't persuade Hyuga Wu. His mind was full of vigilance, and he had no intention of listening to what Kurozawa was saying.
So, Kurozawa shook his head, intending to imitate Giyu Tomioka's approach.
He just flickered his figure, bypassing Hyuga Wu's defense, and used one hand to seize Hyuga Nai's wrists, pinning her in front of him.
Hyuga Nai was a newborn Demon. Her consciousness was very chaotic, and she just struggled uselessly in Kurozawa's hand.
After reacting, Hyuga Wu suddenly stood up, picked up a Cleaver from the nearby table, and slashed at Kurozawa's hand, wanting to rescue Hyuga Nai.
His reaction was fast, his movements were quick, and he acted without hesitation.
Unfortunately, he was facing Kurozawa. Kurozawa controlled his strength and pushed with his hand.
Instantly, Hyuga Wu's feet left the ground and he flew up, then his entire body crashed against the wall with a bang.
Kanae opened her mouth, wanting to say something to Kurozawa, but after much hesitation, she sighed and ultimately didn't speak. She understood Kurozawa's actions.
"I am a Demon Hunter. My job is to slay Demons. She used to be your sister, but now she's just a Demon. Also, if you want to kill yourself, feel free. I won't stop you."
"The knife is at your feet. You can pick it up and cut your own throat whenever you like."
On the other side, Hyuga Wu's expression changed repeatedly. After feeling powerless, he suddenly knelt on the ground, then pressed his forehead tightly to the ground and begged in a trembling voice: "Please let her go. My family is all dead. Now only my sister is left. She is my last relative."
Goodness, the Hyuga siblings' family also died, which was too similar to the situation of Tanjiro and Nezuko.
But there was one point: Hyuga Nai was completely different from Nezuko. There was a strong bloody aura about her, which could not escape Kurozawa's senses.
Kurozawa smiled wryly and said, "Hyuga Wu, you are very smart. Kanae is relatively kind, so you used suicide as a threat. You understand that this trick is useless against me. After realizing you couldn't save your sister from my hand, you immediately begged for mercy. Also, you have been avoiding my words."
"In your answer, you emphasized that your sister wouldn't hurt you, but you didn't say she wouldn't hurt others."
"It seems your sister has eaten people, or perhaps your parents met their end in your sister's mouth."
Hyuga Wu was also different from Tanjiro. Tanjiro was simple and naive, but Hyuga Wu, kneeling before Kurozawa, was very mature in mind and acted very decisively.
Whether it was suddenly attacking Kurozawa with the Cleaver or suddenly kneeling down, he almost instinctively made good reactions.
Sure enough, after hearing Kurozawa's words, Hyuga Wu's body stiffened, and then he slowly raised his head.
He pursed his lips tightly, and flames seemed to burn in his Golden Eyes. They were flames of anger: "Yes, you are right. But so what? My parents, that incompetent couple who only beat and scolded me and my sister, it's better that they're dead!"
He stood up, rolled up his sleeves, and showed shocking bruises and marks: "These are their masterpieces. My sister did nothing wrong!"
"If it weren't for my sister, I would have killed them myself long ago!"
Indeed, there were no completely similar plots. This Hyuga Tanjiro's personality was much fiercer than Tanjiro Kamado's.
Of course, this was related to his family environment. If he had the understanding family companionship that Tanjiro Kamado had, he might be completely different now.
To be honest, Kurozawa really admired Hyuga Wu's personality.
Decisive and fierce, brave and resourceful, he was a template for a hero who wouldn't hesitate in chaotic times.
After Hyuga Wu finished speaking, he bent down and picked up the cleaver from the ground again, his eyes fixed on Kurozawa. With no other options, even though he knew he was no match, he still chose to fight Kurozawa to the death.
"Let go of my sister!"
Hyuga Wu gritted his teeth and roared at Kurozawa. At the same time, he raised the not-so-sharp cleaver and chopped at Kurozawa again. That fearless momentum was filled with courage.
Across from him, Kurozawa liked Hyuga Wu's reaction, so he smiled and said, "As you wish."
Hyuga Wu's expression froze, and his body stopped in place. He hadn't expected Kurozawa to say that.
Kurozawa wasn't lying; he immediately let go, releasing his hold on Hyuga Nai.
Meanwhile, no one expected that Hyuga Nai, who had been struggling for a long time due to Kurozawa's restraint, was now instinctively filled with irritation and the desire to unleash an attack, even if the person opposite her was her own brother who had always taken care of her.
Her eyes were bloodshot, and veins bulged on her face. Suddenly, she pounced towards Hyuga Wu.
In a flash, Hyuga Wu saw his sister's originally cute face become twisted and ferocious, and her bared fangs and bloody mouth got closer and closer to him.
