Tanjiro and Makomo reached the place where the Final Selections are taking place. The place itself looks beautiful with the wisteria trees around, making the area more brighter and gorgeous.

There are also a lot of people in the place. More than 60 swordsmen were here for the selections. Some had grumpy faces, a few had serious expressions, some were scared, and most of them were confident.

But there is Tanjiro who doesn't show any expression and just observes the people around. Since he is the last one to come, all people looked at him with intense eyes, trying to intimate him.

But he still didn't show any expression at all. He just brushed their attempt to intimidate him and looked at Makomo.

"This is the far I go. I need to leave quickly and go to my next mission."

"Yeah, I got it. Thank you."

Tanjiro bowed his head a little before walking away. Makomo just looked at his back with a smile, before calling out to him.

"Tanjiro."

She drew Tanjiro's attention to her, and stopped on his track, and turned his head in her direction.

"Make sure you survive." She turned her back and walked away, but turned her head to give him a side glance. "I'll be waiting for you on the battlefield."

And with those words, she disappeared in the sight of everyone. While many were amazed and shocked at her speed, a certain participant was just smiling while looking at Tanjiro in wonder.

'I wonder what his relationship is with Makomo-sama.... Is she her siblings?'

"Greetings everyone."

As everyone's attention was focused on Tanjiro, nobody noticed the presence of the two people who looked like a twin, that is hosting this Final Selection. One of them had black hair, while the other one had white hair.

"Thank you all for joining the Final Selection tonight," the black-haired one said. "There are several demons help captive in this mountain brought my our own slayers. They are unable to leave."

"And that is because from the mountain foot to half wag up, there are a lot of demon repelling wisteria that bloom all year round."  The hair said.

"However, from this point on, there are no more wisteria. Only demons will you find. If you survive for seven days..." The black hair explained and then pause.

"Then you pass the Final Selection. Now let the Final Selection begin. We'll wish you a good luck." The white hair continued.

Before anyone could move, Tanjiro was the first one to get behind the twin as soon as their speech ended. That shocked most of the people there because just a minute ago, he was the last one to come here and in the very back. After that, All the swordsmen leave and went outside the wisteria field one by one.

Day 1

Tanjiro was not playing. Instead of being hunted, he is the one hunting the demons. As soon as the event started, he started to look for demons too. Just earlier in the entrance in of this dark mountain, several demons are already waiting, as if they knew that someone was coming.

And of course Tanjiro, who was adept at dark, easily sneak up to them and cut them all at once. After that, he hasn't yet to find any demons on his way. He headed to the West side of the mountain, so anyone who goes to the North and East side mist have already encounteres one.

"They said it's full of demons, but I've been roaming for 10 minutes and I haven't met any ever since I got past the entrance," Tanjiro said to no one in particular.
