Yushiro became angry because Nezuko who arbitrarily hugged Tamayo. But, besides hugging Tamayo, Nezuko also patted Yushiro's head gently which made him even more angry and upset.
"Nezuko-san has been in this condition since the incident was over. Is she okay?" Tamayo asked with eyes rounded like acorns and worried.
"It's fine, she probably thinks you guys are people she recognized in our old house." Tanjiro explained in a soft tone of voice
"But, the suggestion Nezuko-san gave to think of all humans as family. But, we are demons." Tamayo said with a questioning expression.
A gentle smile spread across Tanjiro's face like warm sunlight. Tanjiro explained that Nezuko's attitude was like this because she decided to treat Tamayo and Yushiro as humans. And, Nezuko would consciously protect them.
From the beginning Tanjiro didn't like the suggestion given by Urokodaki to Nezuko. Because the suggestion seemed to play with his wishes. But, on several occasions Nezuko sometimes showed some attitudes of being able to judge things well.
From this experience, Tanjiro sometimes still likes to wonder. Perhaps, this was the best thing for now.
Upon hearing Nezuko's words, tears welled up in the corners of Tamayo's eyes. Tanjiro panicked at the sight, asking Nezuko to let go of her hug.
However, Nezuko hugged Tamayo tighter and Tamayo happily gratefully hugged Nezuko's body back.
"Thank you, Nezuko-san, Tanjiro-san." the poor woman said in a sobbing voice.
From Tanjiro's side, El snorted in a soft tone of voice. His facial expression still remained flat and cold as ice. But, in his mind, El was crying with emotion.
'Today there are so many onions, but it's a good thing that my facial expression and my inner self are not in sync.' El said in his mind, while wiping her tears.
Silently, El backed away slowly. El didn't want to disturb the warm atmosphere filling this room. Actually, El wanted to hurry away. However, El still remembered one of his goals, he undid his intention to leave before getting Nezuko's blood.

The hustle and bustle of the Taishō era fills the streets of Asakusa during the day.
The Taishō era occurred shortly after Japan began to slowly open up to the West, and the influence of the West in the previously closed country really began to take hold. One of the easiest ways to see this is through fashionable clothing.
Whereas a few decades earlier, everyone was still wearing traditional clothes like kimono, hakama, and haori, suddenly women were wearing dresses and men were wearing suits.
Of course, not everyone, but especially in cities like Tokyo, Western-style clothing became a trend.
This is the place where Tanjiro first met Muzan, in Tokyo in Season One, Asakusa City. Muzan was well-dressed in a black suit and white fedora hat, with his wife and stepdaughter at night.
During the day, more shops and booths are in business than at night. Numerous Ford model T cars passed by on the street, locomotives like electric trains loading passengers with their various destinations.
Everyone seems very enthusiastic about shopping, selling or just sightseeing for visitors from outside.
El walked in the center of the bustling city, looking around. By now, El had returned to wearing the Trench Coat, covering the demon hunter uniform. A pair of hanafuda earrings had been removed. This made his differentiate from the people of that era.
Shortly looking around, El raised his right hand and looked at his fingers. Focusing his mind, El controlled her system, disabling the digital function of the space storage ring.
El looked at the ring with a flat and cold expression. However, in his mind El looked at it with a smile. For some reason, his unsynchronized expression was growing rapidly.
Well, El him self didn't really care about that. On the contrary, El would even gain an advantage in the battle later.
'A bottle containing 500 ml of Nezuko's blood has been obtained. Next I'll return to the Demon Slayer headquarters.' El said in his mind and thought deeply.
({N/A} : You crazy bastard! It's a good thing Nezuko isn't human, if it was human Nezuko would have bled to death! )
"I've been wandering around for a long time without any news. I'm sure Obanai, Hasira Reptile will be furious. If I remember, he's the one who respects the rules of the Demon slayer corps the most..." El muttered, then he quickened his pace.
El was not afraid of Obanai, but just didn't want to make unnecessary noise. Like fighting with another Hasira for example.
If they were to fight even as a team, then it is certain that El would win. The most El would probably suffer was a broken arm or leg.
While speeding up his footsteps, El recalled the previous incident at Tamayo's house and before deciding to walk separately with Tanjiro.
Tamayo stated that they were too close to Muzan. Tamayo and Yushiro were going to leave the territory. They would have to hide themselves again soon or face another risk.
Tamayo also stated that, despite hiding her identity and working with people as a doctor, some people, especially children and older people more sensitive, can realize their true figure as a demon.
Tamayo asks if Tanjiro is willing to let them take Nezuko, while Yushiro shows his disapproving expression. El wanted to laugh when he saw Yushiro's expression.
Although Tanjiro knew Nezuko would be safer if not involved in the battle, Tanjiro thanked him for Tamayo's concern, but stated that he would stay together, unwilling to part with Nezuko.
After receiving his answer, Tamayo wished Tanjiro and Nezuko good luck in the upcoming battle, while Yushiro bluntly stated they should now erase all traces of themselves and asked Tanjiro, Nezuko and El to leave now.
Tanjiro returned the sentiment to the devil. Meanwhile, El deliberately says she can find their next hideout very easily.
Yushiro was angry and snapped at El. In his heart, Yushiro was very determined to perfect his Demon Blood Art.
Just as he was about to leave, Nezuko ran over and hugged Tamayo back as a farewell hug. Nezuko also did not forget to pat Yushiro's head.
After that, Nezuko walked back to where Tanjiro was and entered the wooden box on his back. Before leaving, Yushiro called out to Tanjiro, he admitted that Nezuko was beautiful, causing Tanjiro to laugh at his last confession.
"Such a sweet incident, it doesn't match my expression at that time." El then let out a long sigh.
In addition to remembering the incident at Tamayo's house. Before deciding to walk separately due to different goals, El also remembered asking Tanjiro to tell his about his past.
Reluctantly, Tanjiro recounted the events of a snowy day about 2 years ago. It was a bitter and painful experience for him.
Tanjiro originally lived a simple but happy life in the mountains with his family, which consisted of his mother and five younger brothers and sisters.
Saburo requested that the boy stay at his house for the night and warned him about the dangers in the mountains. Although Tanjiro tries to refuse the offer, Saburo continues to insist and emphasizes that the Devil is active at night
Tanjiro finally relents and listens to Saburo talk about the Devil as he falls asleep
When Tanjiro returns home the next day, he sees an unconscious and injured Nezuko lying in the snow and protecting Rokuta with her arm.
Devastated, Tanjiro realized that his entire family had been slaughtered, except for Nezuko. Tanjiro picked his little sister up and, while trying to take his to the nearest doctor. But, Tanjiro suddenly realized that Nezuko had turned into a Demon and was immediately attacked by it.
Tanjiro struggles to fend off the Demon-turned-Nezuko's attacks and is overwhelmed by her strength, barely managing to fend off her attacks with the handle of his axe.
