"I promise we will become stronger together"

============================

Ever since Muichiro and I had such encounters, we became closer than ever

Now that we know each other better, the barrier between us is starting to get thinner and thinner

Honestly, due to our similar age, it is much easier for us to get on with one another, without much misunderstandings or particular difficulties

So to sum up everything, we are always seen beside each other apart from the times when we absolutely have to be apart

For example, now

I am currently on my mission, send to support the demon slayers fighting to the East of the Demon Slayer Headquarter, as it was reported that the demon slayers failed to find the demon since last week

And of course, Muichiro wasn't able to come with me because Oyakata-sama firmly believes that I can solve the crisis by myself, meaning the difficulty of the mission shouldn't be high

Soon I arrived at my destination, standing at the bottom of the mountain

From my perspective, the mountain is covered with heavy fogs, and of course, strong scents for demons

Now that I think of it, I can figure out why many of the demon slayers wasn't able to find the the exact location of the demon

It is so evenly spreaded out which made the job almost impossible

But not to a Hashira who is trained for this

I was thinking on finding the demon slayers first before hunting down the demon, however, on second thought, it would be safer for both them and I if I am able to execute the demon first

To slay the demon before it notices my presence

Hiding my scents to the best I can, I took a deep breath, then following the direction that my senses have guided me to go

Tracing the scent carefully, I am now capable of detecting it's movement, not the fastest I have encounter, I can tell easily

Soon I came to a stop where the scent is most concentrated

Carefully checking my surroundings, my hands got a firm grip on my katana in case of any unexpected

Out of nowhere, a claw appeared as it took me by surprise, leaving a cut horizontally on my shoulder because I dodged just a second too late

It was quite fast, but not the fastest

Not going to lie I am quite disappointed in myself for reacting so slowly

But now that the demon showed itself, life will be so much easier for me

"Breath of Nature Third Form: Laurel Blossom, Fade"

Instantly reacting to the movement of that demon, I swinged my katana to the place where the scent is the heaviest

Straight away it reached the demon as my blade sliced through what seems like the arm of the demon, judging by the thickness of the flesh

Without stopping, I aimed my sword higher this time, targeting his neck

"Breath of Nature First Form: Vernal Scenery, Somber Poison"

This time, successfully, I reached his neck, as accurate as I predicted it to be

With the sound of a thud, the fog around me starts to retreat
