Sanemi Shinazugawa, hearing Ryuji's threat, burst into laughter, adding a condition. "Since you're so eager, if Nezuko attacks me, you, she, Tanjiro Kamado, Giyu Tomioka, and that old geezer Urokodaki Sakonji will all die!"
Shinobu was dismayed. The tense atmosphere, just calmed by Kagaya Ubuyashiki, was once again pushed to the brink by Ryuji's words. She felt a significant headache coming on.
Tanjiro felt a surge of anxiety. He wasn't sure if Nezuko could resist the rare blood's allure. For a demon, rare blood held the nutritional value of fifty, perhaps even a hundred, people!
"Agreed," Ryuji said without hesitation.
Sanemi, eager to proceed, urged, "Then hand over the box! Let me prove it to you!"
Ryuji didn't immediately comply. While he agreed to the test, he needed to supervise. He wouldn't trust Sanemi with the box unsupervised; who knew what the volatile Hashira might do to Nezuko in a fit of rage.
"The proof can be done, but I won't hand her over to you," Ryuji stated.
Sanemi, believing himself to be mocked, exploded in anger. "You're playing me!"
Ryuji remained unconcerned. "Not at all. Nezuko doesn't need to be handed over. We just need to move somewhere without sunlight."
Sanemi looked towards the interior of the viewing platform, a sunless space.
"Master, please excuse my rudeness," Sanemi said to Kagaya Ubuyashiki before leaping into the building.
"Come on, brat!" Sanemi called to Ryuji.
Ryuji followed without delay, leaping into the building.
Kagaya Ubuyashiki and his daughters turned to watch Ryuji and Sanemi.
The others in the courtyard also shifted their attention inside.
Ryuji stood before Sanemi, placing the cedarwood box in front of him. He didn't rush to open it, instead saying, "Bleed."
The wounds from Ryuji's water blades had already scabbed over, rendering the dried blood useless for attracting a demon. Sanemi, understanding this, drew his Nichirin Blade and sliced his wrist, letting blood flow freely.
He showed no hesitation, the wound seemingly insignificant to him.
Seeing Sanemi's decisive action, Ryuji tore away the dark purple spider silk from the cedarwood box and opened the lid, addressing the cowering Nezuko. "Nezuko, come out! Show this stubborn fool!"
Nezuko emerged from the box. The sight of her immediately drew the attention of Himejima, Uzui, Rengoku, Mitsuri, Tokito, and Iguro. All eyes were fixed upon her.
