Tanjiro POV

Tanjiro: That's another god down.

I sheathe my sword while the God's body disappear.

Tanjiro: Jeez. They're like flies attracted to open food.

After I defeated Kakobosha, I've been training my body my swordsmanship to inhuman level. Doing 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, 10km run, 10000 sword swings. I train my butt off during that time.

I've visit villages and cities, both were under attacked by gods, I've kill them all. I'm surprise I survive fighting against the gods even though I'm mortal.

But thanks to this, I have experience fighting them and winning against them. My Breathing Technique change as well and Total Concentration, that I could breathe in more and use my styles to their best.

But...as my travels continue, my understanding in this world grow. This... Archon War, why did Celestia created the 7 Archons? Why start a war for 7 thrones? I didn't know why, but the gods actions, I honestly feel pity for them. Influence by the thrones, the gods greed took over them, craving the thrones power.

Tanjiro: This war is stupid.

I muttered myself as I pick up my bag and continue walking.

Tanjiro: That god is my 10th kill.

I have a notebook I got from the last village that I record everything in my travels.

Tanjiro: *sigh* This war is taking forever.

I complain as I continue following the road.

Few days later

Tanjiro: How much for a dumpling?

Shopkeeper: It'll cost you 10 mora.

Tanjiro: Ok! Here's 10 mora.

I pick 10 mora from my wallet and give it to him.

Shopkeeper: Here! Enjoy!

The shopkeeper grab a dumpling and give it to me.

Tanjiro: Thank you!

I say goodbye to the shopkeeper and continue walking the streets.

*chomp*

Tanjiro: Mmmmm~ So tasty~

I eat my dumpling, not watching in front of me until I bump them.

Tanjiro: Sorry! I wasn't paying attention!

I quickly bow down my head 90 degrees.
The person look at me and smile.
???: It's ok. I'm sorry too as I wasn't paying attention too.
Tanjiro: Thank you for accepting my apology!
I stop bowing and look up. When I look up, I saw the person face.

This feeling...
Tanjiro: Ack!
I quickly go in dogeza.
Tanjiro: I'm sorry I bump into you miss! I didn't no you were a noble!
The girl look at me with her hand covering her mouth.
Tanjiro: I'm sorry if I wrinkle your dress!
Tanjiro: If my history is right, I'm in the age were kings and nobles exist!
The woman was silent.
Tanjiro: Oh stinky cheese! I'm going to be executed!
Then, the woman laugh.
???: Hahahahaha!
Tanjiro: Eh?
???: I-I can't! The way you quickly go down to your knees!
I blush as I remember the stunt I did to do my dogeza.

(0:01)
She stopped laughing and look at me with a smile.
???: It's ok. I already accepted your apology and you don't have to worry about my dress.
Tanjiro: I-I don't?
???: Mhm! Look! My dress is fine!
When I carefully look at her dress, indeed I don't see any wrinkles.
Tanjiro: Oh...
Tanjiro: *blush*
???: *chuckle* Though seeing what you did, I'm guessing your not around here?
Tanjiro: Yes, I'm not around here.
???: Then let me treat you! I haven't laugh that hard in years.
Tanjiro: Y-you don't have too!
???: It's my treat~
Tanjiro: But I can't...
She then give me the puppy eyes.
Tanjiro: ...Yes...
???: Great! Follow me!
I sigh and stand up from the ground.
???: But before we go, what's your name?
Tanjiro: Ah! It's Tanjiro! Tanjiro Kamada!
Guizhong: My name is Guizhong. Nice to meet you, Tanjiro.
Later
What I'm standing at the entrance was a restaurant.
Guizhong: Follow me! My friend is inside.
Tanjiro: O-ok!
I enter the restaurant and see people eating food on the table.
Tanjiro: For what I'm understanding, this city has is similar to Chinese from my world.
Guizhong stopped at a table in the corner of the restaurant.
Guizhong: We're here!
I stopped and look at the person who was sitting in a chair, drinking a wine from his cup.
His hair was brown, with neon yellow at the end of his bangs. His eyes open to reveal amber-color eyes.
Guizhong: Tanjiro! Meet Morax, my best friend!
I greet him.
Tanjiro: Hello! I'm Tanjiro Kamada! It's nice to meet you, Morax!
Morax put his cup down.
Morax: Hello, Tanjiro. It's nice to meet you. It seems that you and Guizhong bump each other.
Tanjiro: Y-yes!
Tanjiro: How does he know that!
Guizhong: Jeez Morax! You shouldn't intimidate him! He's not around here!
Morax: Sorry. I always analyze the person I meet, I got it from my job.
Tanjiro: Ah. Yes...
Guizhong: Jeez! That makes it worse! Sorry if my friend here is scary, he doesn't know how to express his emotion.
Tanjiro: I...see...
I don't think that'll make me trust him.
Guizhong: Sit down! Cmon let's eat!
Morax: Indeed, time to eat.
Tanjiro: Yes.
I sit down and clasp my hand.
Tanjiro: Itadakimasu.
I grab my chopsticks and eat.
Tanjiro: Mmmmmm~ Umai~
Guizhong: It's delicious isn't it! That's why I like to bring Morax here to relax!
Morax: Indeed, the food here is great. Even their osmanthus wine taste great.
I continue to eat until I put my chopsticks down.
Tanjiro: Thank you for inviting me to eat. Let me pay the food.
Guizhong: No, let me pay it! I don't think your budget can pay this.
Tanjiro: Why?
The waiter bring a receipt to us. I look at the cost.
Tanjiro: NANI!!!
500k mora!!!
I slowly look at my wallet.
100k.
Tanjiro: ...
Guizhong: See.
Tanjiro: I... I thank you.
Guizhong: No problem! You should go look for a inn today, night is approaching.
Tanjiro: Yea I'll book in today.
I get up from my chair and bow.
Tanjiro: Thank you for your generosity! I'll repay you when I have enough!
Guizhong: Don't worry! You don't have too...
Morax: You can.
Tanjiro/Guizhong: !
Morax: You can repay her, if you fight me.
His voice... his smell...
Why did I not smell it!
Slowly, the air got heavy.
Morax: 1v1 me.
God!
Guizhong: Morax! He's just a mortal!
Morax: Guizhong. He may be a mortal in the outside, but the inside...
His pupils reveal to be lizard-like.
Morax: He's a god.
Tanjiro/Guizhong: !
Tanjiro: What god? Is he talking to me?
Tanjiro: I don't what you're talking about, but I'm human.
Morax: You can't hide it, my nose can smell your divinity.
He slowly rose up from his chair.
Morax: Let's battle outside.
Tanjiro: ...
Outside POV
Outside of the city, Morax summon his spear.
Morax: Guizhong. You can spectate.
Guizhong: But he's a...
Morax: Trust me.
Morax wasn't looking at her, but me, but she went silent and nodded.
Morax: Pull out your sword.
Tanjiro: I don't know why you want to fight, but...
I unsheathe my nichirin and got into a stance.
Tanjiro: You choose your wrong opponent.
