"Alright, here I come!"

- In The Village -
A swordsmith alarmed everyone about the ongoing battle and the threats. Many fish monsters swarmed the village while many swordsmiths run away. One swordsmith, in particular, had his back scratched by a fish monster. The other swordsmiths tried their very best to keep the monster at bay as they drag him along. One yells, "Tetsugoro!" Others yelled, "Watch out! These monsters' nails are sharper than any sword!" "Just get into the buildings!" Screams hollered around the village as Mitsuri finally entered the village to slay the monsters and the demons. She jumps over a monster that held a person and slashed the pot, killing it. She yells out, "Sorry for being late, everyone! I'll make sure to beat them all!" She proceeds to cut many more pots as the swordsmiths watch in awe. Some compliment the Pillar as she cuts down the monsters.

- Deeper in The Village -
An injured guard mutters, "Ch... Chie..." A giant fish monster stood above many deceased swordsmen and women as the Chief spits out blood. The injured guard thought, "The Demon Slayer Guards stationed at this village have all gotten killed. I won't let the Chief, the most skilled man in this village, die. This most is too big. Nothing is working. It's too fast for something so damn big." He looks up and sees two legs in front of him. Mitsuri stands in front of the injured guard. She whips her sword around her body and says, "You're better off not moving! Your internal organs are most likely damaged." The guard looks up and says, "K... Kanroji-dono...!" He then switches to thoughts, "What's up with her sword... Did Tecchin-sama forge it? I've heard rumours... But..." The fish monster cuts him off by screaming at the two below it. Mitsuri responds by charging forward and using,

"Love Breathing: First Form, Shivers of First Love!"

She cuts almost every single part of the fish as it takes a while to fall apart. Mitsuri then says, "My heart will never move for those who hurt other people with sick jokes." The fish then crumbles, dropping Tecchi. Mitsuri runs to save the Chief and grabs him before he hit the ground. Mitsuri tears up and asks, "Are you okay, Tecchin-sama? Please...! Can you hear me, Tecchin-sama?" The Chief weakly says, "I must be in heaven... I'm being higher by a cute young girl..." Mitsuri says, "Oh, Tecchin-sama. You little perv!" Tecchin then says, "I fell on my head too. please, take my hand." Mitsuri apologizes and reaches out, "Oh, I'm sorry! Are you okay?" The guard watched as he mentally thanked the gods.

- With a Waking Tanjiro -
Tanjiro started gaining consciousness as he thought to himself, "...What the? What's going on?" Tanjiro fully gained consciousness and heard, "STOP FUCKING RUNNING AWAY!" He was currently being held by Nezuko who was running away from lightning strikes from Sekido. They finally got struck by lightning and Nezuko collapsed from the pain. Tanjiro immediately looked up and saw Urogi flying towards him. He grabbed Nezuko and jumped to the side, getting missed by Urogi. Urogi cursed as Tanjiro slammed into a door and busted it open. Sekido yells at Karaku, "Dammit! You're too damn slow, Karaku! Just blow the damn thing away!" Karaku says, "That was the plan anyway! So no need to yell at me!" Karaku blew the building over, probably crushing Tanjiro and Nezuko. Fortunately, the siblings were able to escape the crumbling building. Tanjiro thought to himself, "Think! Think! Think of an effective way to attack! A way so they won't be able to recover." But unfortunately, Nezuko was pinned by a piece of rubble. She grabbed Tanjiro's blade as Tanjiro was startled.
The four demons outside all conversed, "Kakaka! The view just got way better." "Now there's no place for the two to hide."
Tanjiro angrily thought to himself, "Dammit! The rubble...!" He then yelled out, "Nezuko, don't worry. I won't leave you. Let go of my sword! I'll just remove the rubble. Don't do this, Nezuko! You're cutting your fingers! Just stop it!" Nezuko's blood ran down the blade and lit it on fire. Tanjiro's blade then started to glow red as he thought, "My sword turned red just now. The colour changed thanks to Nezuko's Blood Demon Art. I'm sure many other swordsmen did it a different way. But we ended up with the same blade. I thought I got strong, but the demons just got stronger. My body is in pain from all the attacks. But every time this happens, someone helps me and our lives become intertwined. I have to meet their expectations! Everyone is lending me their swords. Our hopes and our feelings are one. We must defeat the demons and protect the people. I have to live up to that! I won't let them down!"
Urogi yelled out, "Planning something, huh? You won't be able to beat us. Once we cut you up, you won't feel any more pain." Tanjiro assumed a stance in front of the three as they all looked at him with fear. Sekido thought, "The flaming sword. The red sword. Muzan-sama's memories. That's the sword of the swordsman who chased Muzan-sama down and nearly cut his head off." Urogi was the first to attack while Tanjiro raised his sword above his shoulders. Urogi saw him and someone from his... Or Muzan's memories, both overlapped with each other. Tanjiro stood still while the same mark he gained during his battle in the Yoshiwara district formed on his forehead. He then uses,

"Hinokami Kagura: Dragon Sun Halo Head Dance."

He cuts all three demons that stood before him. He looked back and the mark disappeared while he thought, "I was wondering about that attack this whole time. How that one blow managed to sever Gyutaro's head. The sensation from that moment. The breath. The way I felt... My body felt stronger... Like it was on fire. My forehead too. Okay. I can do this now. I have to cut down all four at once. So the last one..." Tanjiro made his way to find the last demon during his thoughts but found Genya and the fourth demon. He looked at them and thought, "Genya! He's alright!" Genya had the spear lodged into the demon with its head in his hand. Something felt wrong though. He mentally congratulates the boy as he feels something off about Genya. Genya looks back at him with almost demonic features. Tanjiro was shocked and thought, "Woah. Genya? He looks just like..." Aizetsu begins to scream, "What the fuck was that slash? I can't regenerate! It's like I'm being burnt alive!" Sekido says, "Calm down. You're so annoying. We're regenerating, but it's very slow." Tanjiro thought to himself, "The attack's working! I don't know how Genya's doing, but we got them all at once. I just can't shake the feeling that this isn't the way to do it. We can't beat them the same way we beat Gyutaro and his sister. So this attack doesn't really work against the primal emotion demons. But something's been bothering me. If their weak point isn't their heads, then what is it?" Tanjiro freed Nezuko from the rubble and hugged her. During their hug, Tanjiro felt something, "This feeling..." He sniffed the air and thought, "I felt something for a brief moment. Yeah, it was... The presence of a fifth body! So there are five of them! We have to find it... I'm sure the fifth guy is the..." Tanjiro was immediately grabbed by Genya who was breathing heavily and said, "Don't... push your luck... I... will beat the Upper Moon! You weren't the one to beat Upper Moon Five, so you'll never be a Pillar!" Tanjiro said mid-sentence, "Oh! Yeah, that's right!" Genya tightens his grip and barks, "I'll take the first kill before you..." Tanjiro says, "Genya!! You're drooling. What happened? You're strangling me." Genya screams, "I'm the one who's gonna become the Pillar!" Tanjiro says, "Oh, I see! Alright, sounds good! Nezuko and I will help you as much as we can! Let's do our best together! There should be a fifth demon here. Look for it, while we buy you some time!" Genya stayed quiet before yelling, "Cut the chatter! You're just putting me off my..." Genya looked at his eyes and saw it was full of pure innocence. He loosened his grip while Tanjiro looked behind him and yelled, "Watch out!" A wave of lightning struck behind them but missed them before Tanjiro yelled, "I'll let you know when I find the fifth guy! So make sure not to cut Nezuko's head off!" Nezuko ran by Genya and waved at him. Tanjiro then thought, "The anger demon is back. Find him! Focus! That's to the fan demon's wind, the smell of the hot spring's sulphur is all over the place. I'll just feel for him then." The demon was direct to his right as he screamed in his mind, "Yes! Yes! He's right there!"

Chapter 94: End.

A very small announcement: I'm starting another book, which is similar to this one but has many different restrictions for a Saiyan when it comes to breathing techniques. I'll go further into detail when this book reaches 100 chapters. (Which is very soon.)
