After that, they tied my eyes, hands, and my foot to prevent me from escaping.
"Murata-san, can you tell me why did you betray the corps please?" Shinobu asked.
"I'll explain after we arrive."
"Well, the hashira meeting will be held tomorrow so you'll talk about it there okay?"
"Yup, Old lady."
"Who are you calling old lady?" She punched my head after that. It didn't hurt tho.
We arrived at butterfly mansion, Tanjiro and I will stay there until the Hashira meeting.
"Murata-san let's talk for a moment here." Shinobu said as she pulled me to a room.
"What's up Shinobu?"
"To what punishment you will receive, you probably won't be killed since you're the only source we can get information about Muzan but the boy that you brought here, he and his sister will probably be killed. What will you do when you see them get killed?"
"That's pretty easy, I would just protect them until they ran from here."
"But why? Why are you sacrificing yourself for a boy with a demon sister?"
"Shinobu, have you ever seen the relationship of these two?"
"But she's still a demo-"
"Exactly. She maintained her emotions for her brother even though she transformed into a demon and the boy loves his family so much that he would die for them. And if you don't respect that, you're unworthy to be a human yet."
Shinobu was stunned. It reminded her of her sister and she got very emotional by his talk.
"Well, I won't ask more then." Shinobu controlled her emotions.
After that, they spent the whole day hanging out together since they both didn't have anything to do.
"Murata-san, it's time to go to the meeting."
"5 more minutes pleas-aw!" I got pinched by Shinobu.
"Alright calm down I'm coming."Tanjiro hasn't woke up yet and he has been sleeping since he got captured.
"I'll tie your hands and legs now."
By the way, I realized that Shinobu sometimes watched me sleep and sometimes touch my face.
As we arrived, almost all the hashiras looked at me with hatred. The only 3 hashiras that didn't seem to hate me were Giyuu, Muichiro, and Mitsuri.
Shinobu went next to the hashiras and stood there until a kakushi woke up Tanjiro.
"Hey! Wake up, you're by The Hashiras."
"Huh? Where am I? Oh! Where is Nezuko?" Tanjiro started to look around the moment he woke up to see Nezuko.
"Hoi, you jerk." Sanemi called out to Tanjiro.
"This is your sister right here." Sanemi was holding a crate that only baby-sized things could enter.
"Nezuko! Tanjiro started to go towards Sanemi, but Iguro locked him on the ground.
"Don't you dare try anything."
"Haha! You can't do anything, right? That's the cost of carrying a demon when you're a member of the demon slayer corps!"
Sanemi started going completely mad and sheathed his sword and prepared to pierce Nezuko.
"Don't! I'll do anything so please stop!"
Sanemi started to laugh crazily.
"There's no way we're gonna let a demon live, is there?" As Sanemi almost pierced through Nezuko, His sword was stopped by something else.
I stopped his katana with only 2 fingers. I was of course using infinity to prevent my hand from getting damaged.
"Don't do that Sanemi, at least wait until Master Ubuyashiki comes." he pulled his sword and tried to slash me but I dashed back to my old place.
"Wasn't this guy supposed to keep his hands tied?" I heard a few whispers from the Kakushis over there, but I ignored them.
"You bitch, trying to interfere with my business? I guess you 3 go to hell then!"
Sanemi tried to attack us again, but this time he was stopped by Giyuu.
"Sanemi, it would be better if we waited for Lord Ubuyashiki." Sanemi had to listen to his words since Giyuu didn't protect Tanjiro in this timeline.
After a few minutes, Lord Ubuyashiki arrived.
As he came, all the Hashiras kneeled in front of him, including me.
"Hello, my children. I see that we have some unexpected guests here." Ubuyashiki said that looking at me and Tanjiro.
"Well, Tanjiro-kun, could you please explain why you carry a demon with you?"
"Ubuyashiku-sama, he's just a traitor and that's all. We should execute them immediately." Sanemi interfered the question.
"Hoi Sanemi, don't you dare cut Lord's talk." Uzui was a little bit angry about Sanemi interfering.
"Tch. Let me prove it then. Please forgive my behavior, lord." Sanemi took Nezuko to a shadowy place.
He opened the case and Nezuko got out, completely unharmed thanks to me protecting her.
"Hey demon, this is your favorite food, isn't it? Looks so delicious right?" Sanemi slashed his arm to prove that Nezuko is a hostile demon.
Nezuko trembled a bit, but she managed to hold herself and turned her head.
All the hashiras were shocked to see this.
"Well, that concludes today's meeting, doesn't it Sanemi?"
After that, everyone got back to their work after a minute.
"Ah! Murata-san, thanks for helping me this time, I swear I'll repay it sometime later." Tanjiro came near me and left in a second. It must've been a very tiring day for him.
After that, we went back to butterfly mansion and Tanjiro, Inosuke, and Zenitsu came with us too.

'Oh, I got bonus coins too. should I spend it for immortality? Or should I just buy a new skill that'll be important for combat? I think I'll keep it now since I don't know how strong the monsters I encounter in the dungeons will be.'
Anyways, I'll just sleep now since I too get tired even though it's only mentally.
I deactivated my abilities before sleeping.
"Murata-san where are you?" Shinobu was searching for Murata.
"Ah, there he is. Oh? Is he sleeping right now?"
Shinobu grabbed a chair and sat next to Murata's bed.
'He was so cool when he was protecting the little boy, I guess he is kind by his nature.'
Shinobu couldn't help but admire Murata.
She became red when she thought about Murata anytime.
'No, I mustn't. I don't know why but it feels like something is burning inside my chest. I wonder what it's called.'
Shinobu thought of something that could explain her emotions, but she quickly shook her head and left the room.
Next day-
"Murata-san, I understand that you want to sleep but... It's been 11 hours since you fell asleep." Shinobu woke up Murata.
"It's morning already? I'll wake up in a minute."
"Alright, I asked Aoi to make you breakfast, I'll go on a mission now."
"Alright, see you later then."
Shinobu went out and started traveling after that.
'System, how strong are the monsters in the dungeon?'
[There are 3 levels of difficulty in dungeons, Easy, Medium, and Hard, it resembles the difficulty of the dungeon. For example, if you enter a dungeon with easy difficulty, you probably won't enter a life-risking situation, For Medium difficult dungeon, you'll fight against those who have the same amount of power as you, For hard difficulty, Every monster you'll encounter will have more strength and speed than you, remember that general difficulty depends on your level, so as you grow stronger, they'll also.]
'Then I'll just do this one quickly today since it's just easy difficulty.'
"Murata-san! Your breakfast is ready!" Aoi shouted.
"I'm coming in a minute!" I shouted back so that she could hear me.
'Alright, I'll do it this night then.'
