"Answer me, Makio."

-Earlier in the Edo period-
A lady walks down a hallway to a room with a stern expression. Another woman in a room applies lipstick to her lips. The same lady opened the shoji door and said, "Hey! This all started ever since you got here, you know! How many people do you think have vanished from this house? What is it that you're doing on the sly?" The woman who applied makeup turned and looked at the lady while grinning. The lady walked toward her with the shoji door mysteriously closing. And the one to walk out of the room was the makeup lady. Inside the room, the lady was nowhere to be found.

-Present time-
A man with a book in hand said, "So, this is it. Ogimoto House." The man walked in and was guided through the house. All while that happened, inside the room from before sat a Makio being ordered, "Now then, answer me. Who were you writing these letters to? What was your name again? Oh, that's right. It's Makio. Answer me... Makio."
Inosuke looked up the stairs and began to climb them.

-Kyogoku House-
Tanjiro quietly walked around the house trying his very best not to get caught. Tanjiro thought, "No clue on Hinatsuru-san yet." He saw many people run around the house. He almost got caught once because his foot was out. All Tanjiro got was the owner of the house passing away two days ago. Tanjiro heard many conversations but one, in particular, caught his ear. It wasn't a conversation you see, it was more of a cry, which it was. Tanjiro took off to see what was going on carefully.

-Ogimoto House-
The voice felt Inosuke's presence and said, "Someone else is on their way. Ogimoto House certainly has no shortage of busybodies." Makio thought, "I have to find a way to let him know! Tengen-sama!" Makio was pulled into the air from the sashes and began to feel the pressure of the pull. The voice said, "Make a commotion, and I'll pulverize all of the organs in your body."
Inosuke was outside the room looking at the food. He thought, "That must be the food that woman left. So it means that's Makio's room, huh? It's odd. It feels so odd! Is the in some kind of trouble now? I can't tell. I'm getting this slimy, creepy vibe, but... Huh? Sitting here thinking and not doing a thing... That's not my style!" Inosuke dashed toward the room and slammed the door open. What he saw was an empty room but it was all messy and scratched up. He felt the wind and thought, "The wind... Even though the windows are closed! The attic... Hey... Damn you!" He grabbed a bowl and threw it at the ceiling. The ceiling began to shake as he said, "What the... It's clattering around in the ceiling!" The presence he felt started to move around while he chased behind it. Inosuke thought, "It's a demon just like I thought! Where's it heading? Where's it running off to?" He pushed and shoved people off his way while saying, "Outta my way! I'm not letting you get away!" He slammed open a room where people were preparing themselves. He broke another door and ran down the corridor while thinking, "It's daytime, so it escaped up there. But it has to climb down the walls at some point!" The sash went to a hallway divided into two. Inosuke yelled, "Right there!" He threw a punch toward the wall only for it to meet the face of the same man from before. Inosuke slammed him into the wall while breaking it. Both the women screamed while one yelled, "You punched him!" Inosuke began to feel the demon's presence but it go downstairs. He thought, "Dammit! I messed up! It's fleeing downstairs! This way? No. It's this way! Dammit! It's hard to get a feel for it! I lost sight of it! Dammit! It's all because people got in my way!"

-With Tanjiro-
Tanjiro heard that same sob from before inside a closed room. He slowly opened the door and saw that the room was trashed. He thought, "What happened here? It's like someone had a breakdown." The girl looked at him and he mentally panicked. He asked with a stutter, "W-Were you in a fight? Are you okay?" The girl began to cry more so he looked around to see if anyone would come by for help. He walked up to the girl and said, "Hey. Are you all right? Come on, settle down, okay? What happened here? If you're in any kind of trouble-" Tanjiro jolted at the sudden presence behind him. A lady asked, "Hey you... What are you doing in my room?" Tanjiro couldn't do anything, because if he did, he would only destroy this room and hurt anyone inside it so he kept quiet and acted scared. But what he thought was, "I could barely feel this demon's presence. Is this demon stronger than Akaza? If it is... I have to be careful" The demon said, "Hey! Are you hard of hearing or something?" Two girls stood behind her and stuttered, "W-Warabihime Oiran..." They looked at Tanjiro and never saw him around the District before. The demon asked, "Who are you? What are you doing, huh?" Tanjiro apologized, "My apologies, Miss, but this room was in such disarray and this girl was crying, so..." The demon insults, "Could you be any uglier? You really make me ill. Wouldn't you be better off dead? What's up with that hair of yours? Do you actually want to stand out?" Tanjiro was shocked at the insult. She added, "This room is still in shambles. I thought I told you to clean up." Oiran grabbed the small girl's ear and lifted her. She began to scream as she screams, "Shut up! You clean up this room!" The girl apologizes, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'll do it right now! Please forgive me!" Tanjiro grabbed the demon's arm while she asked, "What?" Tanjiro said, "Please... take your hand off her!"

Chapter 67: End.

Before the Super Saiyan transformation(s) make an appearance in this book, I would like to explain a few things. You know how to Super Saiyan transformation had a 50x power boost in the DBZ anime? Well I'll make it a 5x power boost so he doesn't become way too OP. And the 'False' Super Saiyan form he achieved before, I'll make that 2.5x the power boost. (Other transformation multipliers will be explained as well if they manage to make an appearance.)

-A Little Secret-
Shinobu knows she can't fall in love with Tanjiro because of two reasons. One, Their bodies are built specifically for eradicating demons. And two, Her plan was put in place to avenge her deceased older sister. She just can't help it because the way he is.

I know I said I won't focus on any ships in this story, but I'll make this one (or two) an exception.
