"Found it, there you are!"

"Wow! You've already found it?!" You awed with sparkling eyes as you slash the puppet strings.

"Yeah, that way!" Inosuke pointed in a certain direction, "Of course I've already found it, I'm awesome!" He huffed and puff his chest, feeling a tingling sensation run up his spine but decided to ignore it and think of it as your witchcraft.

"Way to go, Inosuke!" Tanjiro praised as he dodges and slashes the threads that were on the corpses.

But still, no matter how many threads you cut, all of you were outnumbered.

"We gotta take care of this guys or we'll never get anywhere!" 

"Dammit! What a pain in the ass! I'm gonna demolish them all at once!" You heard Inosuke's irritated loud voice.

"No, don't! There has to be a way! So, let's try not to hurt—." Before Tanjiro could finish his sentence a puppet came to attack him but thankfully Murata managed to protect him by blocking the attack with his sword.

"Leave these guys on me and go on ahead!"

Inosuke tilted his head, "What kind of talk is that, Mr. Pissed-My-Pants?"

"I never pissed my pants, you stupid boar! I wasn't talking to you, so you can just shut up!" The puppet got out of his block and swing his sword at him, Murata quickly blocked it again with the blade of his sword.

"I know that wasn't my finest moment back there, but I'm a Demon Slayer, too! I'll find a way to hold them off!—Now that I know I just need to slash the threads and that these guys can only make the most elementary movements! I'll watch for spiders too!—There have to be people under even more control closer to the demon! So you three go on!"

"Understood! We appreciate this!" Tanjiro exclaimed before grabbing you and Inosuke and running off.

"Murata-kun!" You called out for him making his head turns towards you but still focused on fighting the puppets.

"You're so cool! Thank you!" While you let your brother drag you, Inosuke was struggling and yelling that he was gonna punch Murata in the face.

Murata smiled at your compliment, "You're welcome, (Y/n)-san!" But a tick mark appeared on his forehead caused by Inosuke, "Would you shut up! Just drop it and get out of here!"

Inosuke replied, "I'm so gonna punch you when I get back!"

****

"Dammit! I'm gonna punch that guy if it's the last thing I do!" Inosuke huffs out as he runs beside you and Tanjiro.

"Stop talking like that!" Tanjiro scolded.

"He called me a stupid boar okay, Monjiro!?"

"It's Tanjiro!" He corrected as Inosuke gets his name wrong again making you laugh.

"Pfft— Haha! Monjiro! Hahaha—" Your laughter came to a halt as webs of spiders started to appear again, getting caught on your mouth.

Tanjiro questions, "So, anyway, we're heading the right way, right?"

"My senses never lie! But.." Inosuke started to get annoyed by the webs just as much as you. "What the hell are these annoying threads?!"

"That's how close we're getting to the demon!" Tanjiro continued running, seeing cobwebs everywhere. But a loud stomp made all of you stop running.
