"I lost!"

Looking at the long sword on his chest, Urokodaki Sakonji slowly said.

"You've grown to surpass me, it's truly remarkable!"

"It's all thanks to your teachings," Mika replied humbly as he withdrew his sword.

Urokodaki Sakonji shook his head.

"Your swordsmanship has completely surpassed mine. I haven't even reached this level myself, so how could I have taught you this?"

"But now I can be completely at ease. Someone like you will surely survive until the end."

Urokodaki Sakonji's voice was filled with satisfaction.

...

After staying in the Sagiri Mountains for three days, Mika bid farewell to Urokodaki Sakonji, saying he planned to travel more before participating in the Demon Slayer Corps selection when the time came later that year.

"Take this with you."

Mika accepted the katana Urokodaki Sakonji handed him. Upon unsheathing it, he was immediately drawn to the azure blade.

"Is this... a Nichirin blade?"

"That's right. This is my Nichirin blade. It'll be helpful to have a Nichirin blade with you while you're traveling outside."

"But what about you if you give me your Nichirin blade?"

Although Mika liked this Nichirin blade very much, he also knew how important it was for demon-slaying swordsmen.

"Don't worry, I'll have another one made. Besides, I'm retired now. I don't have many opportunities to fight demons anymore. You should take it with you."

Patting Mika's shoulder, Urokodaki Sakonji said gently, "Consider it as inheriting my will."

"..."

"I understand!"

Gripping the Nichirin blade tightly after sheathing it, Mika said earnestly, "I will definitely use it to cut off Demon King Muzan's head."

"Mm!"

Urokodaki Sakonji nodded seriously.

"Oh, and take this too."

Pulling out a fox mask from his chest, Urokodaki Sakonji handed it to Mika, saying warmly, "I give this 'disaster-averting mask' to every student who graduates from my tutelage as a graduation gift. This one is yours."

"Thank you, Urokodaki-sensei!"

Slowly accepting the mask and carefully placing it on the side of his forehead, Mika said emotionally.

"Then I'll be going, Urokodaki-sensei."

"Go on!"

"Yes!"

Nodding firmly, Mika turned and left.

Urokodaki Sakonji stood there, watching Mika's back until his figure completely disappeared from sight.

"Don't you dare die, Mika!"

...

After leaving the Sagiri Mountains, Mika found himself at a loss.

Planning to involve himself in the Demon Slayer storyline, Mika had split up with Airmid and the others, letting them wander freely in this world.

But now, due to his actions, he had missed all the plot points he knew about.

This left Mika completely unsure where to look for Tanjiro next.

"Is Tanjiro at the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters right now, or on the Infinity Train? Or has he already left the Infinity Train?"
