After seeing Muichiro Tokito's rude behavior towards the child, Tanjiro was extremely distrustful of Muichiro Tokito, and naturally did not want Muichiro Tokito to touch Nezuko.
Muichiro Tokito looked at his hand in a daze, and did not seem to have reacted to Tanjiro's hostile attack just now.
And at the moment when Tanjiro drew his sword against Muichiro Tokito, Tanjiro grabbed the little boy from Muichiro Tokito's hand.
Of course, this was not a forceful grab, but Tanjiro used the Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell trick, and Muichiro Tokito was only holding the little boy's coat in his hand.
"Are you okay?" Tanjiro asked the little boy with concern.
The little boy drove Tanjiro away, looking like he was very unwilling to contact Tanjiro.
After the little boy was snatched away by Tanjiro, Muichiro Tokito did not take any further action, and did not seem to have any real malice towards the little boy.
"Is your head still dizzy? It's very dangerous, he's a Pillar! The attack just now may cause a concussion." Tanjiro continued to ask the little boy with concern.
"Get away, I, I won't give the key to anyone, even if I'm tortured, I will never give it! That thing is about to break!"
The little boy pushed Tanjiro away, and seemed to be equally vigilant towards Tanjiro.
"It's okay to make another one if it breaks, how many people will die when you're babbling these nonsense? Your behavior is not only hindering me from saving people, but also endangering my life."
"I think you swordsmiths are living too comfortably, besides forging weapons, you're good for nothing, and you don't know the dangers outside at all!"
"I'll say it one last time, give me the key, I need it!"
After Muichiro Tokito finished speaking, he reached out to the little boy, meaning to let him hand over the key obediently.
Tanjiro suddenly slapped Muichiro Tokito's outstretched palm, and then retorted: "Swordsmithing is also a very important job, swordsmiths are people who have different strengths from swordsmen, if it weren't for them forging the Nichirin Blades that can kill demons for us, we wouldn't be able to do anything, and we wouldn't be able to kill those demons!"
"Swordsmen and swordsmiths are two inseparable existences, everyone is fighting demons, it's just that the swordsmiths' fighting style is different from ours! In order to make our Nichirin Blades sharper and easier to use, swordsmiths are also constantly honing their swordsmithing skills. The Nichirin Blades that the swordsmiths forge for us are partners who fight alongside us, and also exist to protect our lives, so swordsmiths are not good for nothing!"
Faced with Tanjiro's remarks to defend the swordsmiths, Muichiro Tokito did not care at all.
"I don't have time to waste with you, talking nonsense!"
After Muichiro Tokito finished speaking, he struck Tanjiro's neck with a hand chop, this time, Muichiro Tokito slightly increased the force.
Tanjiro quickly fell to the ground again, but this time the fall was not accompanied by pain, but a feeling of fainting, at the moment when his vision became blurred, Tanjiro seemed to see Haganezuka standing under a tree behind Muichiro Tokito.
The next second, Tanjiro's eyes went black, and he completely fainted.
"This guy's eyelids are moving, I'm leaving first!"
Accompanied by the familiar voice coming from his ear, Tanjiro, whose consciousness was gradually recovering, tried to urge himself to wake up quickly.
