Isekai Mizuki S1 - A World With Demons

Chapter 48 - The Search

They all began to look around the areas and rooms, trying to find where Isekai was being held captive. Kanao took initiative in looking "Not here..."

Tanjiro slid open a door, soon realizing he was in a fortress full of demons. "Yeah, that's a no." he muttered, closing the door before any demons could spot him. "I think we're in a large fortress full of demons..." Tanjiro uttered. Zenitsu facepalmed, then said: "Let's just find Isekai and get the hell outta here already..."

Kanae and Kanao slid open a door, soon realizing they accidentally stumbled upon Daki, who was miraculously asleep. Kanao wanted to cut the neck off, but Kanae stopped her. "Let's not kill her... She could very well be one of the two that captured him, and may very well be an Upper Moon..." she said, exiting the room and closing the door.

The students, along with their advisor, had been searching the areas for Isekai. Kanao and Inosuke killed some demons here and there, clusters of spear traps kept dropping on Zenitsu, Muichiro and Murata, and Tanjiro got separated from the rest.

Tanjiro realized he wasn't with anyone anymore. "Damn it, I must have strayed too far from them. May as well look in a few rooms..." he muttered, sliding open a door to find a steel cage with one broken bar, and an opened door on its left.

Yuichiro fell due to being hit by an apple core being tossed from somewhere, and reunited with Tanjiro.

Elsewhere...

Gyutaro tried reaching for a basket. But, he realized... "I ran out of apples again?"

Back to Tanjiro and Yuichiro...

Yuichiro dusted himself off, then gave his gratitude for the save. "Thanks for catching me. You look like you've seen a ghost, what did you find?" he asked. Tanjiro showed him the broken cell. "I think Isekai might have broken out already..."

Yuichiro sighed. "We may as well try to find him..." he suggested, leaping away. Tanjiro followed, soon hopping along multiple pathways and balconies.

Elsewhere in the domain...

Isekai had been swinging throughout the areas, trying to find his way out. He opened doors, trying to see if in any way he could get out. He then burst through a room, in which he found a mask of a Yaksha that divides itself in two halves.

"Hmm..." he pondered on what this thing was as he tried to take off the covers to reveal what was behind it. However, upon him getting close, its eyes began glowing. "The fuck?"

The mask began to split itself apart, eventually revealing a puppet Yaksha. It threw its hand into the ground, pulled out a greenish-blue sword, then stood up to challenge the young man before him. "I see." he asked, knowing his only weapon was his fists.

It began to swing at Isekai, who was able to maneuver through.

The boy then jumped over it and kicked the back of its head, which did no harm to it.

He began to fiercely drop quick combinations of attacks, trying to find the puppet's weak point. He tried to hit the mask, but the puppet guarded it, as if it were valuable. "Ah. Now I remember." he then leapt up and cried out as he attempted to drop-kick the mask.

Kanae heard a distant crash. She then asked: "Can any of you hear sounds of... fighting?" as Kanao tried to hear it. The first thing she could hear was loud winds and wood being scratched. "I can hear wood being scratched, and... lots of wind..."
