"Was it a demons work?" you whispered as you watched the scene before you with Tanjiro.

There were reports about missing children all over the walls in the village and on the ground, and many villagers were shouting their names.

"Kuro...how come we just got the mission if so many children dissappeared?" you asked.

"But we just got the report a few days ago..." your crow answered.

"What?!" Tanjiro gasped, "Don't tell me that all those children went missing in such a short time?!"

"Must be a demons work..." you began, "Let's split up and ask some parents for more information."

Woman 1: "I sent my boy out to buy some ingredients but he didn't return. At first, I thought he went playing with his friends, but he didn't return at evening... My boy always comes home before dinner. Why...hic....why my boy?"

Man 1: "My daughter just disappeared while I was on line buying her a hairpin she liked... It's all my fault. If I could just have watched her closely...You ask when it happened? Two days ago during the day..."

Man 2 and woman 2: "Our daughter never returned after going to buy some snacks. Our eldest son went looking for her but didn't return either... And as for the youngest..." woman 2 started to cry so her husband continued talking, "he dissappeared in our yard...please excuse us..."

Woman 3: "According to my neighbour, their children went missing after playing with other children. And those children went missing too... About my child? Oh, he was sick that day when it happened so he stayed at home. What?! You say that a child dissappeared too just being in the yard?! Excuse me, I have to see my child now!"

You asked more villagers and after about two hours, you grouped up with Tanjiro again and shared your findings.

"Targets are always children, they also dissappear during the daytime, meaning it also happens if many people are around and the dissappearance can even happen in the yard of their own home." you summarised.

Tanjiro added, "the dissappearance also happens when the parent only looked away for a second... Also according to a single mother whos child went missing before the others, she said that at the beginning the dissappearances weren't this extreme like now."

You moved your hand under your chin, "So we can conclude that humans are also part of the dissappearances, and who ever is responsible for this, needs more children."

"Why do you think people are part of it too?" asked with widen eyes.

"This case doesn't look easy," you replied, "I don't think that those children will run off by themselves..."

"You seem like you already have a plan." Tanjiro pointed out.

"What I just said are still theories but I believe they are true," you gaze shifted to the streets skimming the shops, "with our swords and uniform, I believe we already caught some attention, follow me."

You leaded your burgundy friend to a shop which sold clothes and you picked out the most common clothes out and wore them over your demon slayer uniforms. You two used your haoris to wrap around your swords and placed them on the back.
After disguising you and Tanjiro as villagers, the both you started to inspect the areas where the dissappearances took place.

Tanjiros nose caught something and removed some baskets, "Y/n, here's a bunker and I can smell many scents from different people. But none of a demons."

You inspected the bunker, "It's not locked." you said and opened it, "a dead end?" you stared at the wall inside the bunker.

"There's a piece of cloth." Tanjiro stepped inside and picked the item up, "perhaps it belonged to a child."
