Alright it's back story teaser time people

"Ugh! What do we do with him?"

"Let's just throw him in the shed with the other one."

Demon: My memories....

"Can you say 'Big brother' ?"

"Good job!"

Demon: Big bro...

"You cold? Here, let's share coats!"

"Well leave and survive on our own without those two money-grubbing devils. Just follow me!"

Demon: He's helped me so much. And I've never been able to pay him back. I can't even...

"I'll take care of our lil bro. Don't trouble yourself. Didn't I tell you before? Just leave it to your big brother!"

Demon: Why... why could I not do anything then! I couldn't help him then, and now... I can't even give him a proper burial! Those filthy slayers stole him from me!

Obanai: *sigh* "Just follow me."

A minute later, Obanai and Tanjiro were on opposite roof tops of buildings along the southern main street. They sat there waiting for Kaitsuki and Shizuoka to arrive. Sure enough, the army of hundreds of skeleton creatures could be seen stampeding down the 10 meter wide dirt road, as well as the main demon who was leading the army. And in front of crowd was Kaitsuki and Shizuoka still running down the street.

Shizuoka: *gasp* "They're on the roofs!"

Kaitsuki: "Good. On my count, we'll turn back and attack them. I'll distract that troublesome grim freak, then you go tell Tanjiro and Obanai "...".
