I have finally left Mitsuri's home and am now on my way up a mountain to where final selection takes place, the only weapons I have on me are a normal Katana and a whip so I can continue to practice love breathing.
As I went further up the mountain I noticed that everywhere was surrounded by a purplish plant that glowed.
'So this is the wisteria that Mitsuri was talking about,' I thought
When I finally reached the top of the mountain I saw about 40 people there. All of them were equipped with a Katana and looked ready to go, except for one boy with blonde hair.
"Are you nervous?" I asked with a fake smile
"OF COURSE I AM!! I GONNA DIE WITHOUT A WIFE!!!!!" the blonde yelled out
"..." I didn't respond but just looked at him
"WHY ARE YOU LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT?!?!?" He yelled back
"Nothing... anyway good luck," I said with a fake smile
I then waited a little bit before two young girls appeared and started to explain things.
"Hello, we would like to welcome you to final selection. Here you will be tasked with living in a demon-filled forest for 7 days. If you survive afterward then you become a demon slayer and get a messenger crow to send you on missions. Finally, you will be able to choose the ingredient that your katana is made of." Both girls said with a monotone voice
With that, they welcomed us into the forest
I lagged behind the others as they went in first and then split up from them after we went deeper into the forest.
I had now been walking around for 1 hour without any sight of demons when I suddenly caught the smell of one.
I turned around to see a demon with a long head and skinny body looking at me "Human! I haven't had one in so long!" It cried out as it jumped toward me. I then swiftly cut off its head in one single motion using the katana I was gifted
I then kept on walking only for no other demons to show up so I went atop a tree to rest.
'Why did I hug Mitsuri back?' I wondered
With my family, I always felt more like a tool than a family member to them. They did love me but always kept pushing me to do more and more things to the point where I was leaving at dawn and returning at night. With Mitsuri though it felt different, I felt more like a human than someone just to help out.
I kept on thinking about that a little bit longer as I finally fell asleep while remaining on high alert.
I woke up the next day and jumped down from my tree and ate some berries I found in a bush that wasn't poisonous. I then continued walking until I met a girl with a butterfly hairpin wearing all-white clothing
