Controlling the Butterfly Effect from Demon Slayer

Hearing Tanjiro's misunderstanding, Hori Gaku was immediately embarrassed.

What do you mean by doing something strange to Nezuko? Am I that kind of person!?

It seems... a little bit.

But is this the time to talk about such things!? Now Hori Gaku is talking to Tanjiro about serious matters!

Hori Gaku was furious because he was used to beating Zenitsu in Momoyama. He couldn't help but hit Tanjiro on the head and said in a bad tone:

"Tanjiro, do you think I am that kind of person? What would I do to Nezuko when she is like this? What can I do to her!?"

Tanjiro still maintained the proper hesitation:

"But... Senior Hori Gaku, why did you ask us to leave? Why did you insist on staying alone with Nezuko?"

This... Hori Gaku really couldn't explain it.

There was no other way, Hori Gaku could only swear an oath and promised Tanjiro earnestly:

"Tanjiro, I promise with my personality that I will never do anything strange to Nezuko. If I do anything wrong, I will be struck by lightning!"

(You have been struck by lightning.)

Tanjiro hesitated for a few seconds, but seeing Horitake's serious attitude, he agreed:

"Okay, Master Urokotaki and I will go out for a while. Senior Horitake, please don't do anything strange!"

"Got it! You still don’t trust me! ?"

Tanjiro stood up and walked out of the room.

Urokodaki also stood up and followed Tanjiro out.

Finally, Horitake gave them one more sentence:

"Don't peek or eavesdrop!"

After giving the instructions, he closed the door and locked Tanjiro and Urokodaki outside.

Urokodaki sat in the outer room without saying a word. He said that he was an outsider and couldn't speak.

Tanjiro frowned, feeling uneasy.

Suddenly, Tanjiro remembered something. When he and Horitake met for the first time, Horitake had joked that he wanted Nezuko to be his bride!

This... couldn't be a joke?

Tanjiro became even more worried. He wanted to lean against the door and eavesdrop, but when he remembered that Horitake had just said warning.

Forget it, Tanjiro is a good boy, he can only bear it and wait anxiously.

In the room, what Tanjiro was worried about did not happen at all. After all, there were not only Hori Gaku and Nezuko in the room, but also the souls of Kamado's family accompanied Nezuko. How dare Hori Gaku act so presumptuous in front of them?

The reason for asking Tanjiro and Urokodaki to leave was that Hori Gaku wanted to talk to Tanjiro's family.

Turning on the spiritual vision, Hori Gaku saw that Kamado's family was still surrounding Nezuko. He quickly performed a junior salute to Nezuko's parents:

"Uncle, aunt, and brothers and sisters, hello."

Takeo Kamado, Tanjiro's younger brother, was very surprised:

"Eh? This big brother can actually see us! ?"

Hori Gaku smiled and pointed at his eyes and explained:

"My eyes can see things that ordinary people can't see."

"That's right. That's amazing.……"

Kamado Aoi, the gentle mother, said to Horigaku:

"It's great that Tanjiro and Nezuko have a great friend like you.

By the way! I haven't thanked you for saving Tanjiro and Nezuko before. Thank you very much.……"

What Tanjiro's mother was talking about was the first system task that Hori Gaku took, which was that thing.

As she spoke, Kamado Aoi bowed to Hori Gaku to thank him.

It was another grand thank-you gift, and Hori Gaku really couldn't bear it.

This was his future mother-in-law, his elder, how could Hori Gaku dare to accept this gift calmly! ?

But the other party was a soul now, and Hori Gaku couldn't touch her at all, so there was no way to stop Kamado Aoi from thanking him.

There was really no way, to show respect, Hori Gaku could only smile bitterly, bowed his head lower than Kamado Aoi, and said quickly:

"No, no, it's just a small favor. When I met Tanjiro and Nezuko by chance, I saw that they were in danger. Of course, I couldn't just stand by and watch them die. Auntie, please don't be so polite!"

After thanking each other, it was Tanjuro Kamado, the head of the Kamado family and the father of Tanjiro and Nezuko, who spoke.

Although Tanjuro Kamado looked thin and weak, he had a serious expression and a very intimidating aura:

"Nephew Horitake, is it okay for me to call you that?"

"Of course, uncle!"

"Well, nephew Horitake, may I ask, is your diagnosis of Nezuko true?"

Horitake said seriously to his future father-in-law:

"It's true. My eyes can see things that ordinary people can't see. By observing Nezuko's current state, I found that Nezuko is transforming her body by sleeping!

Uncle and aunt don't worry, when Nezuko wakes up, she won't eat people anymore, she will only use sleep to restore her strength."

"So that's it……"

After receiving the confirmation, Tanjuro Kamado's expression softened visibly. He reached out and stroked his daughter Nezuko's forehead, showing a distressed look:

"This child...it's really hard for her to encounter such a thing."

Kamado Aoi also had tears in her eyes:

"And Tanjiro, this child has suffered too much in the past six months, I really feel sorry for these two children."

The sobbing of his wife also triggered the protective feelings of Tanjiro Kamado in his heart:

"Yes, I passed away early and was unable to take good care of my family. After my death, it was Tanjiro who supported the family. Now they are facing something like this. It is really hard for these two children. It is not easy."

Seeing that his mother-in-law was about to cry, Hori Gaku quickly comforted her again:

"Natural disasters and man-made disasters are things that no one can predict, right?

Fortunately, Nezuko's condition is improving, and Tanjiro is working hard every day. I believe that the future of these two brothers and sisters must be bright!"

"I wish you good luck, my dear nephew Horitake."

Kamado Aoi gradually stopped crying, and Kamado Tanjuro's attitude towards Horitake also improved.

After greeting the Kamado family, Horitake was about to talk about business, but unexpectedly, Kamado Tanjuro took the initiative to mention:

"My dear nephew, you sent Tanjiro out because you have something to discuss with us alone?"

Hori Gaku nodded, his expression serious:

"I can only send Tanjiro away... Tanjiro will definitely have a lot of ups and downs in the future. I'm afraid that Tanjiro will be distracted after knowing you. I am here with you because I have some important things to discuss.

First of all, auntie, and a few brothers and sisters, I want to ask you, what does the ghost who killed you look like?"

Although the killing was painful and unbearable to look back on, Kamado Aoi still recalled:

"It was... a man, wearing all black, with black hair and red eyes, and a scary face. Under normal circumstances, he gave people a weird and scary feeling. When he went crazy and killed people, he was even scarier. He was not a human at first glance!"

Tanjiro's brothers and sisters also described the situation at that time, but the situation was rather detailed and there was no information worth noting.

Although it was expected, after hearing their description, Hori Gaku was still certain.

The ghost who killed the Kamado family was most likely Muzan Kibutsuji himself.

Other characteristics did not count, after all, Muzan could be male or female, old or young, but the feature of red eyes was too obvious, Muzan himself had red pupils!

After listening to their description, Hori Gaku sighed:

"The one who murdered you all is most likely Muzan Kibutsuji, the origin of all evil, the source of all tragedy, and the ultimate target and greatest enemy of our Demon Slayer Corps.

Sooner or later, I will... dry that guy into bacon!"
