3RD PERSON POV

Somewhere in Japan, the Wind and Serpent Hashiras and five other demon slayers were on a mission.

Following reports from the Kasugai Crows, the group found themselves in front of an abandoned castle ruins.

Sanemi: What the hell is this?

Obanai: a worn down castle from the restoration period. Must've been abandoned or forgotten because the location is inconvenient, or so I assume

Sanemi, the Wind Hashira, glanced behind him and saw three demon slayers who were trained by Rimuru's adopted grandfather Hachiro, the former Wind Hashira, Kouki, Ginji, and Erina.

The three were covered in bee stings and soaked clothes.

Sanemi: *annoyed* Where the hell have you idiots been?!

Ginji: We're really sorry...

Erina: That was Kouki's fault

Kouki: *annoyed* Huh!? How is it my fault?!

Erina: *angry* because you thought you saw a demon and poked a bee's nest!

The two started arguing while Ginji sighed.

Ginji: we got stung a lot and had to take a detour by swimming in a river to get away from the bees

The two demon slayers accompanying the Hashiras felt pity and confused on how much trouble the three had gone through.

Obanai: *annoyed* That's enough, so shut up!

the two were intimidated and immediately stopped bickering.

Sanemi: *annoyed * How the hell are those three even alive when normal bugs give them that much trouble?

Obanai: Anyway, are you certain that someone from the village was taken there?

Slayer 1: Y-yes. You have my word. We tracked her up to the castle's tower but found nothing

Sanemi: she couldn't have vanished into thin air, idiot! How could you let them ditch you?!

Slayer 1: *flinch* i-im truly sorry!

Obanai: which means another woman has disappeared within twenty-four hours

Slayer 2: Despite the corps being on high alert, they still got us

Sanemi: No one is expecting anything from you chumps!

The three slayers felt as if they received a jab.

At the same time, Obanai, the Serpent Hashira, spotted a demon carrying a captive woman headed for the castle.
