Giyu Tomioka’s eyes also fell on Shin.
Looking at the extremely eerie Shin, Giyu instinctively mistook him for a demon.
Shin, of course, was unaware that Giyu had mistaken him for a demon.
Right now, Shin had only one thing to do: protect Nezuko from Giyu’s grasp, because Nezuko’s life or death was also tied to his own.
Although Shin had already experienced the meaning of his life, he didn’t want to be inexplicably disposed of by the so-called “humane system.”
Even if he were to die, he wanted to die with clarity, at least leaving a dignified remains for his family.
He didn’t want to die in this foreign land.
“You can’t touch this child!” Shin said coldly to Giyu Tomioka.
Giyu Tomioka coldly stared at Shin and asked, “Did Muzan Kibutsuji send you?”
Upon hearing this, Shin naturally didn’t understand Giyu Tomioka’s words.
He was a transmigrator from another dimension; how could he possibly be someone else’s underling?
“I’m just a passing demon slayer.
Anyway, you can’t kill this kid!” Shin casually assumed the identity of a kind-hearted demon slayer.
“Water Breathing First Form: Water Surface Slash!”
As soon as Shin finished speaking, Giyu Tomioka activated the Water Breathing style of swordsmanship and instantly unleashed a horizontal slash at Shin’s Demon Slayer Sword.
Shin was knocked back several meters.
Even after being knocked back, Shin didn’t immediately launch an attack, because he sensed that Giyu Tomioka’s killing intent had temporarily subsided.
Clearly, his words had taken Giyu Tomioka seriously.
“Demon Slayer?
You’re not a demon?
Are you here to hunt demons too?” This was the first time Giyu Tomioka had heard the term “Demon Slayer.”
Literally, it sounded similar to “demon hunter.” However, Giyu had never seen such an eerie demon hunter before; his appearance was far from being that of a normal human.
As one of the Nine Hashiras of the Demon Slayer Corps, Giyu Tomioka was extremely familiar with demons, having dealt with them for years.
Therefore, without confirming the truth of Shin’s words, Giyu had already analyzed and compared Shin’s aura.
The result surprised Giyu.
Shin’s aura wasn’t that of a demon, but rather an aura he had never encountered before.
“A demon?
I’m not one of those man-eating monsters!
I’m just a kind passerby!” Shin said with a disdainful smile.
After speaking, Shin looked at Giyu Tomioka.
Seeing that he was still very cautious, Shin continued, “Demons are afraid of sunlight.
Whether I’m a demon or not will be verified later.
What you need to do now is spare the life of the child in your hands.”
“Since you are a demon slayer, you should know the dangers of demons.
If I release her, it will only cause more innocent people to be harmed!” Giyu Tomioka reminded Shin righteously.
“My sister won’t eat people, I promise!
You must believe me!”
Tanjiro spoke up at this moment to guarantee his sister’s safety, but Giyu Tomioka only glanced at Tanjiro indifferently and ignored him.
Finally, Giyu Tomioka turned his gaze to Shin, wanting to know why Shin insisted he release Nezuko.
Upon hearing this, Shin remained silent for a long while.
He didn’t know how to explain this to Giyu Tomioka; he couldn’t very well say, “Killing her is the same as killing me!”
