Tomioka Giyuu's eyes also landed on Ryuji. Looking at Ryuji, who appeared incredibly demonic, Tomioka Giyuu subconsciously treated him as a {demon}.
Of course, Ryuji didn't know that he was being mistaken for a {demon} by Tomioka Giyuu. Right now, there was only one thing Ryuji needed to do, which was to protect Nezuko from Tomioka Giyuu's hands. Because Nezuko's life and death also mattered to Ryuji's own life.
Although Ryuji had already come to terms with his life, he didn't want to be inexplicably subjected to so-called "humane treatment" by the system. Even if he had to die, he wanted to die clearly, at least leave a whole body for his family. He didn't want to die in this foreign world.
"Don't touch this girl!" Ryuji said coldly to Tomioka Giyuu.
Tomioka Giyuu also looked at Ryuji coldly and asked, "Did Muzan Kibutsuji send you?"
Hearing this, Ryuji naturally couldn't understand what Tomioka Giyuu was saying. He was a super dimensional transmigrator, how could he be someone's subordinate?
"I'm just a passing Demon Slayer. Anyway, you can't kill this girl!" Ryuji gave himself the identity of a kind-hearted Demon Slayer.
*[Water Breathing, First Form: Water Surface Slash]*
As soon as Ryuji finished speaking, Tomioka Giyuu unleashed a Water Breathing technique, instantly delivering a horizontal slash towards Ryuji's Demon Slayer sword.
Ryuji was knocked back and slid several meters. He didn't immediately launch an attack because he felt that Tomioka Giyuu's killing intent had temporarily subsided. It seemed his words had caught Tomioka Giyuu's attention.
"Demon Slayer? You're not a demon? Are you also here to hunt demons?" Tomioka Giyuu had never heard the term "Demon Slayer" before. From the literal meaning, it should be similar to "demon hunter." However, Tomioka Giyuu had never seen such a demonic-looking demon hunter. This appearance was simply impossible to treat as a normal human.
As one of the Nine Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps, Tomioka Giyuu, who had been dealing with {demons} for years, was naturally very familiar with them. So, without confirming the truth of Ryuji's words, Tomioka Giyuu had already analyzed and compared the aura around Ryuji.
The result indeed surprised Tomioka Giyuu. The aura around Ryuji wasn't that of a demon, but a kind he had never encountered before.
"Demon? I'm not that kind of man-eating monster! I'm just a kind-hearted passerby!" Ryuji scoffed.
After speaking, Ryuji looked at Tomioka Giyuu. Seeing that he was still very cautious, Ryuji continued, "Demons are afraid of sunlight. Whether I'm a demon or not will be verified naturally later. Right now, what you need to do is give that girl a chance to live."
"Since you're a Demon Slayer who kills demons, you should know how dangerous demons are. If I let her go, it's like letting more innocent people get hurt!" Tomioka Giyuu reminded Ryuji righteously.
"My sister won't eat people, I promise! You have to believe me!"
Tanjiro spoke up at this time, vouching for his sister. However, Tomioka Giyuu just glanced at Tanjiro indifferently and didn't pay any attention to him.
Finally, Tomioka Giyuu turned his gaze back to Ryuji. He wanted to know why Ryuji insisted on him letting Nezuko go.
Hearing this, Ryuji fell silent for a while. He didn't know how to explain to Tomioka Giyuu. He couldn't say, "If you kill her, it's like killing me!"
