"It's...over," Tanjiro mumbled weakly. "Next...I have...to hurry to...Tamayo-sama—" His weakness had made him faint and so does Giyuu.

The only one's conscious is F/N since she turned into Yoru again to replenish her energy. Surprisingly, she wasn't feeling any stealing of energy between Yoru and her own body. She now agreed to what Chizuko told her the last time. This is her true form and it's now independent of her own strength. She can even heal her real body.

It was too depressing, but it felt better than letting him wander around and killing men just to gain more and more strength. She was truthfully thankful that of all demons she faced, the room she entered is the place where Akaza is located. A perfect setting, you could say.

"CAW! TOMIOKA GIYUU, SOYAMA F/N, AND KAMADO TANJIRO HAVE DEFEATED THE UPPER MOON THREE! CAW! THE TWO MEN HAVE COLLAPSED FROM EXHAUSTION!!!"

"F/N?" Obanai uttered. "F/N's here?"

"Is F/N chan awake—ahhh!!" Said Mitsuri while dodging Nakime's attacks.

"She's with them," Obanai said and sliced of the doors. "CAREFUL!"

"Ahh, you're finally awake," F/N said softly. "May I see your wounds?"

After hearing her voice, he rushed to her side and embraced her which made her chuckle. "Three months, F/N. Three months!"

"My apologies," she whispered. "It's all fine now. Yoru's now independent."

"When did you wake up?" He asked.

"Right before I came in," she answered and helped him remove his clothes to check his wounds. "I woke up so sudden as if someone's waking me up. Tadeo rushed me to wear my uniform and so I left. How are we going to close this?" She asked, pointing out the wound on his shoulder. "Yeah, and I fell here and that."

He stared at her with worried eyes. "I'm glad you're fine now."

"Yeah, me too," she agreed with a smile. "It isn't so depressing now that I can walk again." She stood up and grabbed some woods from the destruction a while ago. "We should just burn your wounds."

Giyuu then manually ignited a bonfire and started cauterizing the wounds with the help of F/N. A little later, Tanjiro opened his eyes and carefully sat up. "Feeling better?" F/N asked upon seeing his movements.

Tanjiro looked at their direction and was shocked at what he's seeing. "WAAAH!" He screamed. "What happened? Did you chip your sword?"

"Chip?" F/N asked in confusion.

"I tried to stop the bleeding, but it's not working so I'm cauterizing the wound," Giyuu replied while tapping the heated blade in his wounds. He hissed at the pain from it. "You tried to stop the bleeding of the wound in your left arm, but if it doesn't stop, I'll burn it so strip down and come here."

"Y-Yeah," He stumbled. That looks painful. 

"Is the bone alright?"

"Um...Yes! It'st just a bruise," he answered.

"Tanjiro, beware of an enemy attack," F/N spoke coldly.

"I think you know, but this is just the beginning," Giyuu said. "Our final target is Muzan. But next, we may have to fight Upper Moon One and Two."
