Sabito replies, ''I don't know but... No amount of effort is too much. And you know that... right? Just believe in him..." His hands shakes a bit in uncertainty and nervousness.
Back to Tanjiro......
(Tanjiro's POV)
The hand demon points his disgusting finger toward me and asks, ''Tell me, fox boy. Right now what Meiji Emperor sit upon the throne?''
"The imperial family is Taisho!''
Unexpectedly, it becomes silent and stand still like it was in shocked.
His eyes slowly becomes bloodshot and starts screaming while scratching him own body intensely until his body bleed out blood that had a rotten smell, ''GAAAAGH! I've been here so long that dynasties have risen and fallen! Again and again! All while I've been trap here! Unforgivable! Unforgivable! Damn Urokodaki! Damn Urokodaki! Damn him! Damn Urokodaki!''

''You know Uro-''
''Oh, I know him! Urokodaki was the one who captured me! I will never forget! It's been 47 torturous years! Back then he was still a demon slayer! In the Edo Period, The Keido Era!''
Huh?! Demon slayer in Edo Period! How long did the demon slayer exist?
The boy suddenly stands and points at it, ''You're lying! No demon here has been alive that long! Lies! They only put demons up here that have eaten two or three people and they get killed during selection! Plus, the demon eat each other too!''
''But I have survived a very long time. In this prison of wisteria blossoms, I have eaten 50 of you brats though some of them tasted like shit!''
Fifty?! So much people died! I remember Urokodaki once said that a demon's strength comes from the number of people its has consumed. If it eats more people, it gets stronger. They grow stronger and some physically change, gaining unnatural powers. If my nose gets stronger, I'll be able to tell how many people has the demon eaten.
My mind quickly snapped back to reality when it started counting with his multiple hands, ''12...13...and you are number 14.''
"What are you taking about?!''
''Hee Hee Hee Hee! That's how many of Urokodaki's students I have eaten! I've decided to kill all of his students! Yes indeed! Thirteen of Urokodaki's students, but above all two of them I'll never forget. He had a colourful jacket and was the strongest by far. He had peach-colour and a scar by his mouth. The other was a girl-brat whose kimono was cover in flowers. She was small and not so strong but she was very agile.''
