Y/N was just an ordinary person from the 21st century, she didn't expect to wake up in an anime where human-eating demons roam free every night.
Well, what's left for her is to learn how to use a sword and help the protagonist make his sister human...

Muichiro freed himself from the prison, water splashing everywhere as he immediately fell to the ground, coughing loudly and gasping for air.
“Aaah- Muichiro!” Y/N quickly sat on the floor beside him, gently rubbing his back in an attempt to help him ease his erratic respiration.
He finally sat up, still coughing a bit as he started to pull out the needles that were still attached to his body, Y/N winced a bit with the sight.
'Ungh… the numbness is horrible! These needles… I got out of the water vase, but….'
“You mustn't be inflexible in your thinking, Muichiro. When you recover your confidence, you will get stronger.” He remembered Ubuyashiki's words. 'The master's face! His illness is advancing… And it hurts!'
“Kotetsu, hey! Don't you dare die on me-!” Muichiro stop spacing out when Y/N's distressed voice reached his ears, she was holding the kid in her arms.
“Ko…tet…su…” He weakly said, crawling to the two to see the boy more closely, though he had another cough attack as soon as he got close enough.
'My lungs hurt… from all the water in them…
…mother got pneumonia from a bad cold and died. It was a stormy day. Father went to pick herbs to help her and fell off a cliff. He, too, died.'
“Tokito…. Y/N..... forget about me…. Help Haganekuza….protect…the swords….” Kotetsu weakly said.
“Ugh- Hold on-!!” Y/N bit the sleeve of her haori, ripping off a big piece from it and wrapping it around his small body in a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding. “I-I'm sorry that I can't do more for you…”
Muichiro was still in a shocked state, trying to sort out the incredible amount of painful memories that came to him all at once. '… Both of my parents died when I was ten. I was alone....... No. That's wrong. I wasn't alone until I was 11.
I had a twin.
My older brother's name was Yuichiro. My brother had a harsh tongue, I feel like lately I may have been kinda like him.
It was stifling living alone with Yuichiro. I thought he hated me, and I thought he was cold.
In the spring, someone came to visit. It was the master's wife. Yuichiro spoke as roughly as he always did and turned Lady Amane away.
We no longer spoke to Lady Amane, who continued visiting the house… And we only fought once, when Yuichiro shot down my idea to become a demon slayer.
Summer came, the weather was hot that year. We were irritable all the time, the nights were humid and the cicadas buzzed.
We left the door open and were asleep when a demon came in.
