"Brother... brother..." Nezuko's beautiful pink eyes, unlike their usual innocent gaze, seemed to be infused with spirit. She displayed a cute and lively smile, repeating the words indistinctly to Yoizumi.
"Brother!"
Yoizumi stood there in a daze, his feet rooted to the spot, unable to move. His usually calm face showed unconcealed surprise, and he couldn't even maintain a steady breath, each exhale trembling slightly.
Nezuko blinked, not understanding Yoizumi's reaction. She took a few steps to her brother's front, tilted her head, and raised her hand to cover his forehead.
Is he feeling unwell somewhere?
"Brother?"
Only now did Yoizumi fully believe that what he saw was not an illusion.
Nezuko... she really overcame the sun!
And she can talk now!
Yoizumi couldn't hide the joy in his heart. He gently embraced his sister, his usually cold face melting like ice and snow, a faint smile gracing the corners of his eyes and brows.
Nezuko was held by her brother in a daze, and she instinctively hugged Yoizumi back.
Brother is very happy!
Nezuko clearly realized this.
Nezuko smiled again; she was also happy.
She could finally live under the sun, just like her brothers.
Snow Pillar!
He smiled!
Murata and Komi Kata stood dumbfounded to the side, their mouths agape in surprise at Yoizumi's smile.
As a demon, he actually overcame the sun... Tanjirou... your family is truly incredible... Murata thought incessantly.
"You two, continue!" Yoizumi said to Murata and Komi Kata, then pulled Nezuko back to his room. He needed to write a letter to Tanjirou.
Tanjirou would surely be very happy to know.
Following obediently behind her brother, Nezuko stared at Yoizumi's golden hair, which was blown by the wind and flew freely as he moved.
Her eyes curved, and her pink eyes were filled with a smile. Up close, her brother's hair looked even better.
Sitting at the desk, Yoizumi immediately picked up paper and pen. After writing what he wanted to express, he handed the pen to Nezuko.
"Nezuko, do you have anything you want to say to Tanjirou?"
Nezuko held the pen, her innocent eyes blinking at Yoizumi. With an unstandardized grip, she stiffly drew a smiley face on the letter paper, nodded in satisfaction, and continued to hold the pen, drawing who knew what.
Seeing this, the joy that had overwhelmed Yoizumi's heart gradually calmed down. Judging by Nezuko's current behavior...
Nezuko had only overcome the sun; her mind was still like that of a child, with no changes.
"Nezuko," Yoizumi suddenly called his sister's name. Her innocent, clear eyes looked at her brother, moving her gaze from the letter paper.
"How... how did you overcome the sun?"
Upon hearing this, Nezuko just smiled, and then...
"Brother... brother..."
She repeated calling him brother once again.
Yoizumi sighed; he had probably guessed it already.
Frowning slightly, he stroked his sister's head and asked softly, "Does it hurt?"
But how could Yoizumi not know?
He had experienced it firsthand.
So he didn't want Nezuko to go through that pain.
Why not wait?
Wait until she can become human... Nezuko didn't answer, rubbing against Yoizumi's hand on her head. After a long while, she stammered out, "Brother... brother... bamboo... bamboocopter!"
"Do you want to play with the bamboocopter?"
Nezuko nodded vigorously, then anxiously searched her body for the bamboocopter. Remembering where she had put it, she rushed out in a flurry.
Staring at his sister's retreating back, Yoizumi turned his head and fixed his gaze on the letter paper.
Nezuko had drawn a picture on it.
One could vaguely make out three small figures from left to right.
Him, Nezuko, Tanjirou.
Everyone had a big smile on their face, holding hands, with a huge sun hanging in the sky.
So... this is what Nezuko hoped for?
"..."
He put away the letter paper and summoned a Kasugai Crow.
"Please deliver this to Tanjirou, thank you."
The dark Kasugai Crow soared across the sky, its outstretched wings displaying iridescent colors in the sunlight.
He wondered how Tanjirou was doing.
Yoizumi withdrew his gaze, stood up, and left the room to look for Nezuko.
"Thump-thump-thump."
Running to the backyard, Nezuko spotted the bamboocopter on the ground not far away. She immediately rushed to pick it up, but was intercepted by the suddenly appearing Kanzaki Aoi.
Kanzaki Aoi panted, looking with lingering fear at the sunlight behind her. Nezuko had almost touched it!
Nezuko, held tightly by Kanzaki Aoi, pointed at the bamboocopter on the ground.
"Bamboo... bamboocopter!"
"Yes, yes, yes, I'll help you... pick it up?"
Huh?!
Kanzaki Aoi stared intently at Nezuko. She had just heard... Nezuko speak!!!
"Nezuko, you can talk now?"
Nezuko repeated, "Bamboo... copter."
Yoizumi appeared, picked up the bamboocopter from the ground, and gave it to Nezuko. Kanzaki Aoi stammered to Yoizumi,
"Yoizumi-ge, Nezuko can talk!"
"Yes, I know."
Yoizumi nodded. Under Kanzaki Aoi's shocked gaze, Nezuko pulled Yoizumi, and they bathed in the sunlight.
Eh?!
Nezuko also overcame the sun!
Both demons were in the sun, completely unharmed.
Kanzaki Aoi silently watched the faint smile that always hung on Yoizumi's face, and Nezuko happily staring at the high-flying bamboocopter.
They truly are two incredible demons... "Caw~"
"Yes, thank you!" Tanjirou, sweating profusely during his training, received the letter delivered by the Kasugai Crow.
Who sent it to him?
He wiped his hands clean before opening the letter.
When he saw the contents, his crimson eyes suddenly lit up, and immense joy was evident on his face.
["Greetings"]
["Tanjirou, how have you been recently?"]
["Is training hard?"]
["Remember to rest."]
["I have good news to tell you."]
["Nezuko has overcome the sun."]
At the end of the letter, Tanjirou raised his calloused fingertips and gently touched the three smiling figures.
He really wanted to go back and see Yoizumi-nii and Nezuko... Tanjirou's expression firmed. He had to train hard, complete the Pillar examination, and return to see his family as soon as possible!
A hand suddenly rested on Tanjirou's shoulder. Uzui Tengen chuckled playfully.
"What are you looking at? You're smiling like an idiot."
"Nezuko, my sister, has also overcome the sun."
Uzui Tengen raised an eyebrow, then smiled with understanding, praising them without reservation.
"Your family is truly flamboyant enough!"
