Tanjiro's Pov

I was practicing my aim with my throwing knives at the target board. I was honestly bored out of my mind and was waiting for rather Cho or Zenitsu to come back. HEYA TANJI! Zenitsu yells while I looked behind to see him and Cho holding a familiar winged devil. Is that Chicken? I asked in excitement while tossing my knife backwards towards the board.

Zenitsu: I thought it was some random bird following me, but when it started Attacking me I just knew it was her.

Cho: Can't believe after all this time nothing tried to eat it yet.

Chicken ran back to its nest while Cho tosses me a bag of Jerky. So, what's the plan today? I asked as Cho takes out a handmade device. Well I was just gonna eat some jerky and work on the van. Cho says while the device started beeping. But then this started to go off in one of Mengs old crates. It's a sonar for Hellfire Vessels. There are a total of four of them. Cho says while I can only stood there in disbelief.

Zenitsu doesn't understand the gravity of the situation as he takes out his sword. So what, Demon slayers have delt with them before. What's so scary about four Vessels? He asks as I looked at him. During our time at the Sun estate. There were only 3 Hellfire Vessels when I was a kid. I explained as Cho added on to something worse.

Cho: I've put down the energy waves of the Blue, Red, and Green Hellfire Vessel. But two of these are new ones.

Cho explains as I can only rub my face. God what a pain. I said while getting everything ready. Well uh, how do we kill a Hellfire Vessel? Zenitsu asks as I instruct Cho to explain. She'd then take out a makeshift Binder where the old Gang and I would collect all we can on Hellfire Vessels. Well unlike Demons they can be killed by a stab. BUTTTTT we have to actually aim for the spiritual core itself. Plus there's the extra coated Hell armor, the healing factors, the Living flames that can melt your skin and bones. Cho says while Zenitsu's face was getting gloomy.

Tanjiro: There's also the fact that a very few amount of Nichirine blades can be affective. But that's because they didn't have anything like my Sun Breathing.

I said while getting my black Fox mask on. But Tanjiro, wouldn't killing a Hellfire Vessel turn you into one? Zenitsu asks while I reveal the scar on my chest. This allows me to gain some form of immunity. I can only assume it keeps the flames away from possessing into my spiritual core. I stated as I looked at Cho, sweating buckets. No way, you knew? She asks as I shrugged. Knew what? Zenitsu asks while Cho rolls her eyes. Auntie doesn't know, so don't go blabber mouthing got it! Cho yells while turning her back towards us to reveal the marking.
