Tanjiro was sleeping peacefully in his room, the pitch-black night outside...

Suddenly, Tanjiro felt a presence in the room, he woke up as quickly as possible.

He looked to see Muichiro standing in front of him.

"Do you know the swordsmith Kanamori?"
Muichiro asked.

"Tokito-kun!"
Tanjiro called out.

"Well I know him but why? I think he's with Haganezuka"
Tanjiro continued.

"He's my new swordsmith, where is Haganezuka?"
Muichiro questioned.

"Wanna look for them with me?"
Tanjiro said.

"..Why are you so concerned, don't you have something else you should be doing?"
Muichiro said.

"Helping other people also ends up being beneficial for you at the end of the day, and I also wanted to check up on them so good timing"
Tanjiro said.

"Wha?"
Muichiro uttered.

"What did you just say, now....now"
Muichiro said.

"Huh? Good timing"
Tanjiro said.

Suddenly Nezuko stood up, hitting Tanjiro's jaw.
"Ow"

"Nezuko you're up!"
Tanjiro says.

".....Lets go look for Haganezuka"
Muichiro said.

"That's one strange creature there"
Muichiro says, referring to Nezuko.

"Oh! Is she?"
Tanjiro says with a shocked face.

"Yeah, really weird, I can't put it to words"
Muichiro said.

"Have I met her before? It must have been some time ago, why..."
Muichiro lost in his thoughts.

'Oh crap is that Tamayo-san's cat, I asked her to investigate the changes on Nezuko's blood, hope it doesn't show up in front of him'
Tanjiro thought.

Suddenly, a presence was felt.
"Oh is someone there?"
Tanjiro asks as both of them turn their eyes to the door.

"It seems so"
Muichiro said.

The door slightly opens to reveal a demon.
In that moment, not even lasting a blink of an eye, Tanjiro and Tokito took their stances.

Breath of the Mist: Fourth Form, Advection Slash.

Muichiro charges forward at the demon, trying to attack it.

'Fast, I couldn't stop him'
Muichiro thought

"EEEKKK! Stop it, don't bully me"
The demon yelled as his hand was cut off by the attack.

Though the demon evades the slash and sticks to the ceiling, Tanjiro pulls out his sword.

Sun Breathing: Seventh Form, Sunflower Lance!

Tanjiro thrusts his sword into the demon, making it fall to the ground.

'Did I get him? Why is he not retaliating?'
Tanjiro thinks.

Nezuko, in her demon form, slashes at the demon with her nails, knocking him into a wall.

"Nezuko! Don't transform here"
Tanjiro calls out.

Muichiro cuts off the head of the demon.
