Akio and Wispella were hitchhiking on a carriage, heading towards the nearest town. Akio was still recovering from his intense fight with Rui, the Lower Moon Five of the Twelve Kizuki. Although he had no visible injuries thanks to his super healing, he still felt some pain from the impacts of Rui's razor-sharp threads. He wished he had never gotten involved in this mess. He didn't care about this world or its people. He just wanted to have fun and enjoy himself.

Wispella was sitting next to him, holding his hand. She had been worried about him ever since the fight, and she wanted to make sure he was okay. She was also curious about this world and its inhabitants, especially the demon slayers and the demons. She had never seen anything like them before, and she wondered how they fit into the grand scheme of things.

As they were riding along, Wispella suddenly felt a strange sensation. It was like a ripple in the air, a subtle shift in the atmosphere. She frowned and looked around, trying to pinpoint the source of the disturbance.

"Akio, do you feel that?" she asked him.

"Feel what?" Akio replied, confused.

"That... that change. Something is different. Something is wrong." Wispella said, her voice tense.

"Different? Wrong? What are you talking about?" Akio asked, looking at her with concern.

Wispella realized that Akio was clueless. He was a human, after all. He could not sense the subtle fluctuations of mana, the life force that permeated everything in existence. He could only use his powers when he was in danger or when he touched something with a fictional ability. He was not in tune with the supernatural like she was.

She decided to explain it to him in a way that he could understand.

"Akio, you know this world is based on an anime called Kimetsu no Yaiba, right?" she asked him.

"Of course I know that. I'm an otaku, remember? I've watched the anime and read the manga. I know everything about this world." Akio said proudly.

"Then you should also know that we have to follow the plot of this world, right? And we can't interfere with the main characters or change the outcome of the story, right?" Wispella said.

"Yeah, yeah, I know that too. You've told me a million times already. What's your point?" Akio said impatiently.

"My point is that someone just broke those rules." Wispella said bluntly.

Akio's eyes widened in shock.

"What? How? Who?" he asked, bombarding her with questions. Then it clicked... Rui.. shit!!!

"I don't know how, but I know tha you just changed the fate of this world. Yout altered the fate of this world." Wispella said gravely.

Akio felt a chill run down his spine. He had a bad feeling about this.

"What's going to happen?" he asked nervously.

"I don't know for sure, but it can't be good. It could mean anything from minor changes to major catastrophes. It could affect anyone from minor characters to main characters. It could create new enemies or allies, new dangers or opportunities, new twists or turns." Wispella said ominously.
