Master of the Mansion ( (やかた) (さま) Oyakata-sama?) is the forty-sixth chapter of Koyoharu Gotoge's Kimetsu no Yaiba.

Summary[]

Kagaya greets the Demon Slayers

The master greets the Hashira.

The Master bids everyone a good morning, remarking about the pleasant weather and happy to see that in their bi-annual Hashira meetings, not one member has changed. Tanjiro remarks about the man's unusual appearance, wondering if he carries scars or is sick, when he is suddenly shoved to the ground by Sanemi. Stunned by his tremendous speed, he soon notices the rest of the Hashira bowing before the master. Sanemi warmly greets the Master and prays for his increased happiness and good health; as the Master thanks him for his kind words, Mitsuri quietly laments not being able to greet him.

Before their meeting can start, Sanemi brings up the issue of Tanjiro, a Demon Slayer who travels with a demon, while Tanjiro himself notes that despite his earlier brutish demeanour, Sanemi is now speaking remarkably politely. The Master apologizes for surprising them with the situation but reveals he has accepted the siblings, wanting the Hashira to do so as well. The Hashira are stunned to hear this; Gyomei, despite knowing it is his request, cannot accept a demon, and Tengen "stylishly" opposes as well. Mitsuri wholeheartedly agrees with the Master, as does Muichiro since he will forget he agreed with him later on. Shinobu and Giyu remain silent, Obanai and Kyojuro vehemently disagree with this, and Sanemi demands that Tanjiro and Giyu are both punished.

Having received their answers, the Master asks for his aide to read a letter; she explains it was written by the former Water Hashira Sakonji Urokodaki and reads a portion to the Hashira. In it, Sakonji wishes for Tanjiro and Nezuko to be forgiven, believing that through strong spiritual training, Nezuko has maintain her humanity, even refusing to eat humans when she starves. For two years, she has persisted, and though it seems inconceivable, it is the truth. Ultimately, should Nezuko ever attack a person, along with Tanjiro and Giyu, he will atone for her actions by committing seppuku. Tanjiro looks at Giyu and tears up at the realization of his devotion towards Nezuko.

The Hashira shocked to hear of Tanjiro and Muzan's meeting

The Hashira are shocked to hear Tanjiro has met Muzan.

Sanemi dismisses Sakonji's vow and believes it doesn't prove anything, and Kyojuro adds that killing a human is an irreversible act. The Master acknowledges this but adds that they cannot prove Nezuko will attack, silencing the two. Since it is a fact that Nezuko has not killed anyone for two years, and three people have staked their lives on her, he urges them to offer an argument stronger than Sakonji's promise, causing them to remain silent. The Master also mentions that Tanjiro has crossed paths with Muzan Kibutsuji. Everyone is shocked to hear this as not one member of the Hashira has ever encountered Muzan.

Tengen asks Tanjiro for his appearance and what his abilties were, while Muichiro asks if he fought him. Sanemi pulls Tanjiro's hair and bombards him with questions such as his actions and his lair; when he and Tengen enter a confrontation over getting answers first, the Master wordlessly raises a finger and they silence themselves immediately. He reveals Muzan has sent demons after Tanjiro, and while it could be as simple as wanting to kill Tanjiro, he has truly revealed himself for the first time and they cannot let the opportunity escape; he adds that perhaps Muzan sees something unexpected in Nezuko as well.

When he asks the Hashira if they now see the importance of the siblings, Sanemi once again objects and believes that while sanctioning a human is one thing, sanctioning a demon is entirely different. He draws his sword and cuts open his forearm, shocking everyone; aiming to prove to the Master that demons cannot be trusted, he drips his blood over Nezuko's box.
