Isekai Mizuki S1 - A World With Demons

Chapter 9 - Isekai VS Tanjiro

Tanjiro and Isekai were at the gymnasium, lifting a few weights. Kanao had just walked in with a water bottle and a small box, with Aoi and Nezuko following.

"Ah, Tanjiro!" she calls out, waving. "Hey, Kanao. What're you doing here?" he asks, coughing. "I mainly came to deliver something to Isekai. Speaking of him, where is he?" she explains, also asking where he is. Tanjiro points to his direction. "Over there. What's the package?"

Kanao holds up the box a little, shaking it. "Eh, treats from his uncle. Isekai still lives alone, and I'm worried about him, even if he can cover every essential he needs by the business' makings." she said before walking over to Isekai. She called him out.

"Ah, Kanao. The package. From my uncle, no?" Isekai asks as he hopped back upright. Kanao nodded and handed over the package. He opened it and helped himself to a few cookies. "Hey, Tanjiro!" he called out, tossing him a cupcake. "You three, too." he said as he tossed them cupcakes.

"Thank you!" Aoi and Nezuko said, while Kanao just bowed, and Tanjiro just said "Thanks."

6:45 PM

Kanae had come into the gym to be greeted by Kanao playing a game with Tanjiro, and Aoi and Nezuko drawing. "Hello, kids! Lively time, no? And is Isekai sleeping?" Kanae greets them, looking at Isekai, who's sleeping on the bench.

"Yeah to both of them. Isekai naps around this time because he just likes sleeping in general," Tanjiro answers, scratching his head. "Well, don't forget you two have a match at 8:00 PM!" she said as she bowed and left.

7:30 PM

Isekai wakes up. He stretches, yawns, and asks them, "Hey guys, what did I miss?" Aoi looks at the clock, and answers him. "You got the Finals match in 30 minutes, and nothing else." "Thanks," he replied as he brought out a foldable laptop and began to use it.

Nezuko was wondering what he was doing. She could tell he clearly wasn't playing a game of any sort. "Are you working?" Nezuko asks, tilting her head. "Just checking the stocks, and getting the earnings that my father's business acquired since a week ago," Isekai explains, opening a tab. He was a bit disappointed. "Agh, that's lame. Approximately four million? The week before this school year made us 26 million, what happened?" he asked himself as he kept typing.

Sanemi had burst open the door to the gym to tell the kids that the final match was nearly about to begin. "Hey, brats. Red-haired one and kid on the laptop, hurry up. Match's in five minutes." Isekai got off the laptop and went over to the stadium, as Tanjiro walked behind him.

8:00 PM

"Alright, everyone! Mr. Uzui back, and it's time for the Finals! The final match will be between...

The mysterious Isekai Mizuki..." he said, as Isekai walked through and all in the stands cheered for him.

"against the up-and-coming star, Tanjiro Kamado!" he announced, as the crowd cheered once more.

"Now, we begin the final round! Audience?" he requests. "THREE..." the audience counted as Tanjiro readied his fists.

"TWO..." they went down, and Isekai readied his stance.

"ONE..." Tengen and the audience count once more, and they were both pumped.

"GO!" The crowd cheered, as trumpet and cymbal-based sounds played out. Tanjiro and Isekai immediately flashed, and locked into a massive power struggle.
