The Traveling Musician (Kny X Reader)

Chapter 57

Sorry its slightly small, I already had two tests

With Muichiro

After being thrown out of the house by Karaku he finds himself in a conundrum. The choice of saving a kid from a summoned demon or prioritizing the more skilled people of the village. Just as the demon grabs the kid, an image of Tanjiro appears.

{Helping other people also ends up being beneficial for you at the end of the day.}

He slices off the arm of the demon and places himself in front of the kid.

"You're getting in the way. Can you just get out of here?"

Kotetsu ends up staying around as Muichiro finds that the summon will continue to regenerate no matter the number of times it is sliced.

[Even if I cut its neck. Its body crumbles and regenerates itself.] His attention is diverted to the pot close to the demon. [I guess I'll try here then.]

Once the pot is cut, the demon starts to rumble away. Kotetsu runs up to Muichiro tears flying around and hugs him by the neck.

"Wahhh. Thank you! I was so scared!" He was practically screeching at the top of his lungs by now." Sorry for calling you a kelphead! Sorryyyyy!"

Muichiro looked over at the child blankly. " You called me a kelphead?"

Kotetsu holds his hands to his mask/face, " Wahhh, I'm so sorry! I just hated you before!"

"Now is not the time for this. I'm going now, so just do whatever you want."

As Muichiro starts to move away from Kotetsu, he reaches out for him and yells," Wait!! Kanamori-san is also under attack! Haganezuka-san has been working on the blade nonstop. So please help! If we delay for even a second it might be too late, so please!"

Kotetsu bows to Muichiro, with his head touching the ground. This time an image of Kagaya comes to Muichiro's mind.

"You can find yourself again for sure. Muichiro as long as you're alive you can still do something. If you are confused just focus on survival. Your memories will come back, do not worry. Things that may seem trivial or unimportant might help to clear up the mist in your head."

Muichiro quickly picks up Kotetsu and starts to run in the direction that he had previously pointed to.

"Waaaaaah! Hey, Hey, Let's take our time a bit!"

"Keep speaking, and you might bite your tongue off."

*With Tanjiro, Nezuko and Genya

Once Sekido attacked Tanjiro with lightning, Genya appeared and shot the demon. The bullet went through Sekido's neck, but Karaku's neck wasn't fully split. Genya jumped down from the roof and fully beheaded the fan demon.

"You can't beat them like that!" Tanjiro's yell was too slow as both demons had gotten what they wanted. "If you slice them, they'll just split up. They split and get stronger the more you slice them. They let you cut them on purpose!"

As Tanjiro was deep in through on a way to defeat the demon, the winged Urogi appeared and flew Tanjiro out of the broken inn roof.

"Kakakaka, you were the second person to figure us out in forever!"

"Nezuko, Go help Genya!" Nezuko goes over to help the now impaled Genya fight the demons.

"Do you really have the time to worry about others?"

Urogi blasted Tanjiro with a sonic scream making his ears start to bleed. "Haha, nice one. How absolutely delightful."

Tanjiro fails miserably at trying to grab onto a branch as he plummets towards the ground. Any branch that he tries to grab onto either break or injures him more.

[Crap, my body's numb, and I can't hear a thing. The villagers are still in danger, they need protection.]

He is brought out of his reflections by the feeling of something grabbing onto his leg. He turns around to see a bird leg with a head attached to it.

*Genya and Nezuko

Genya takes the chance that he was impaled by Aizetsu and shoots his head off.

"What even are you doing Aizetsu? You're pissing me off. Fool!"

The headless Aizetsu pulls the spear out of Genya making blood spurt out of the wound. His head reattaches itself from the ground as Genya falls to his knees.

"Not dying immediately is quite pitiful. I aimed for your vital points but didn't die because I left my spear in. Now that it's out you can die quickly."

"In ś'rāvasti, In the jeta grove, in anāthapińdada's park, along with a great assembly of twelve." (I'm sorry if I did it wrong, I tried my best to copy the annotations of certain letters.)

"What? The Amida Sutra? That's one devout man there."

"But he's probably alive, so smash his head Aizetsu," Shouted Sekido!

"I know, I know, don't mouth off at me. I'll feel my sorrow surface again."

Aizetsu starts to swing his spear around. When he slices downwards towards Genya's head, it instead smashes the floor as Genya appears behind him.

"I'll cut you again and again until you die!! Fucking shitty bug!"

Before Genya's sword was able to cut Aizetsu's neck he was struck by lightning.

[That staff asshole.]

Genya shoots Sekido, and he blocks the bullet with his arm leading it to be severed. Aizetsu swings his body around, slammed his staff into Genya's side, and slammed him into the nearby wall, making it break off its hinges.

*With you/(y/n)

[He actually bit me! I can't, I just can't.]

(y/n) continues to wrap up her injuries with intensity, clearly annoyed but deep down inside she was seething. Many strips of clothes were wrapped around various places of her body and were soaked in stolen antiseptic. She bit down on a roll of cloth as she reached inside a deep cut and forced the broken part of her rib back into place. She took the nearby candle and held the needle over it before pouring more antiseptic over it. She tried her best to tilt her neck down with the many bruises and sutured the wound close with minimal light.
