The ball flew right back to Susamaru's palm as Yushiro's talisman floated down to the ground. "You were right, Yahaba! A building just appeared out of nowhere!"

"The handiwork of a Blood Demon Arts wielder adept at hiding objects. And is the demon hunter accompanied by a demon? What's going on here?"

"Isn't this fun?" She laughed childishly before she bounced the balls on the ground.

Yahaba lifted his eye on the palm as he spoke to her. "Still, I have to say, Susamaru... Your way of doing things is so immature. So careless. You splattered me! You splattered my kimono with dust!"

"Oh, stop whining! We found them right away thanks to my temari, so who cares? And now we can have tons of fun!" She then threw the balls to the buildings before they returned to her hands.

"You've gone and splattered me again!" Yahaba complained as he blocked the dust with his hand.

"You're so uptight. Your kimono isn't the least bit soiled. And besides..." The dust slowly disappeared, revealing you who stood in front of Tanjiro and Nezuko. Tanjiro peeked his head beside you to look at the demons. "Found 'em! Found 'em!"

"A Temari!" Tanjiro thought in his head as he still held Nezuko close to his chest. "So, she caused all this damage by throwing that Temari?"

"That woman... Is she one of Kibutsuji's minions?" Tamayo thought as she looked at them while in Yushiro's arms.

You noticed the ball moved in weird directions and broke the wood and the ceiling above. Tanjiro closed his eyes as he pulled Nezuko closer, Yushiro noticed a ball coming towards him and Tamayo as he stood up in front of her.

"Tamayo-sama!"

He gasped as the ball suddenly went to his side before it hit his head, blowing it. Your eyes widened along with Tanjiro's.

"YUSHIRO-SAN!"

Tamayo quickly caught him in her arms as the balls kept bouncing around the walls. Tanjiro and Nezuko stood up with her back turned to you and Tanjiro.

"We need to kill them fast!" You yelled as you stared at them.

"Dammit! Nezuko! Take the lady sleeping in the back room somewhere safe outside!" Tanjiro ordered as Nezuko nodded with a hum.

"It's too dangerous outside! We have a basement, so take her there!"

"Understood! Nezuko!" You watched Nezuko quickly go out of the room, you watched the balls bouncing around as you tried to read their attacks.

"That's one down!"

"She's giving off a totally different scent than any of the other demons! Is it stronger? It's really thick scent! It feels so heavy once it enters my lungs!"

"Her aura is strong! I see two auras of demons before, where did it go? It must have hidden from us to help this demon."

The temari balls came back to her as she bounced them twice. "The demon hunter wearing hanafuda-like earrings... It's you, isn't it?"

Your eyes widened with shock. "They're after Tanjiro?!"

"So, I'm the one they're targeting?!"

"You'll never have him if I'm here!" You stood in front of Tanjiro, gripping your sword tightly.

"Two birds with one stone! Not only did I find him, but the princess is also right here!"

"Princess?!" You thought in confusion at the nickname.

"I'm here to take you back to him, where you belong. Even if you refuse, I'll take you by force!"
