Chapter 13 - Meeting the DEMON

MC, who is enjoying fresh mountain air, then saw Garuda descending to him. "Master Rudra, young Tanjiro successfully completed his mission and got his second mission."

Even though I know he will be ok, something in my heart always anxious about his safety is this siblings love, Gauruda, who saw me smiling. "Master, something happened. You look happy."

I just shake my head and ask, "Do I Have a Mission?" Garuda said, "Yes, Master, same as Tanjiro." I know what he is going to face in this mission, so I decided to reach there before him, so I asked Garuda how much time it will take for me to reach the destination. H explained the distance and way of transport.

The next mission is in Asakusa, Tokyo. Tanjiro is taken aback by how flourished the place is in the Taisho Era, but quickly picks up the demon's scent.

MC just watched Tanjiro from the top of a building like Batman, who is following a thug who is going to reach his den and catch them in one swoop. Why on top of the building because Tanjiro can easily find my scent?

Why am I following Tanjiro, not Muzan, because I don't know his scent? That's why I follow Tanjiro and gauge his strength and pick up his scent. His pursuit of the scent leads him to Muzan Kibutsuji.

Man, he is strong, and the foul smell of blood is causing me to vomit, but I steel myself and register the smell; his red halo looks like blood and evil. Tanjiro attempts to strike him down. Then he saw a child calling him daddy and a woman calling him husband. He got petrified, but Muzna saw a chance and tried to use his ability to turn humans into demons, but I arrived at the scene and used a peanut to hit the passer's leg, causing him to fall and save him from Muzan.

"Little brother, here you are. I was searching for you all asakusa." and hugged him tightly. 

Tanjiro "Big bro, he is muzan." "I know, but if we fight, a lot of casualties can occur, and we are not strong enough, but you can give him a warning."

Tanjiro removed his scarf from his head and steeled his heart. "Muzan Kibutsuji, no matter where you go, I'll follow you to the ends of hell, and I swear, I'll slice off your head with my blade!" and I clapped for him.

As we are retreating, we detect a scent we cannot determine but senses it getting stronger. A demon approaches him, accompanied by a boy; I can see the halos women have purple and red halo and the boy has green and red halo. I know who they are, so I assure Tanjiro to relax, go to Nezuko, and I will meet them sometime before the lady can say anything. I have already vanished from the spot. 

Muzan summons two demons by his side and instructs them to bring him Tanjiro's head, describing him as the Demon Slayer with Hanafuda earrings. They immediately comply and leave him to do his wishes. Left by himself, Muzan suddenly becomes terrified and remembers a moment in his past—a memory of someone standing before him, a feared enemy raising his sword while also wearing hanafuda earrings.

MC, I ran in the direction of the taxi that took mother and child and spot their scent and ran past them. Standing in front, the taxi driver hit sudden breaks and came out of the taxi to try to hit me. I just struck him. He fell on his knees and looked at me with horror, and the mother and daughter got scared. 

I approach the van and ask the mother and daughter to get out; they are sacred, but I assure her that nothing is going to happen. She steeled herself and got down from the van, asking the daughter to stay there. 

Mc, I asked the driver to get up and asked them to listen to me very carefully. "What is the name of your husband, where he is from, and how do you meet?" she said. "His name is Michael Jackson from America; we met at a party one month before. me. " Hmm, so lady, listen carefully to what I'm going to say. Your new husband is a demon. Before she could say anything and curse me, I stopped her. I know, believing a stranger with weird clothes, but that's the truth. He is no ordinary demon; he is Demon Progenitor. It means he is the first demon ever to exist."

The driver and boss lady looked at me in confusion. "You saw me and my little brother there, and why he is shouting of killing is because your husband is the one who killed his entire family. We have special noses to find the scent of demons and people. That's why we find out about him. I know you can't believe it. I don't care." I asked them to watch carefully and approach a boulder and cut it in multiple pieces. This caused them shock. The driver shocked, checked if it was real, and nodded. 

"We are demon slayers; we fight demons, and our final goal is to kill the Demon Progenitor, which is your new husband. I will ask one question: if your smart, then you will be able to figure out if I am telling the truth. You saw him in the morning playing with your daughter outside." This question hit the nail on the head and caused her to realize, so I gave her some gold and money and told her to get away from him so they could be saved. 

Elsewhere, Tanjiro is admonished by the udon vendor for not eating the bowl he gave him. He immediately orders a new bowl and states that he will really eat it. The vendor asks Nezuko if she too will have one, but Tanjiro interjects by asking for two bowls instead. After gobbling down his udon, they leave the vendor and continue to the city. As they walk, Tanjiro apologizes to Nezuko for leaving her behind suddenly, but she stops walking and looks ahead. He sees that she is staring at the boy who accompanied the demon he met earlier, who claims he only waited under her orders.

When Tanjiro claims he could have found her with his sense of smell, he responds by stating that she is hidden under a cloaking spell he cannot see. The boy inquires about Nezuko really being a demon as well, calling her an eyesore while doing so. Upon hearing this, Tanjiro angrily retorts that Nezuko was considered the beauty in their town and refuses to let him get away with what he said. Traveling through the city, they end up at an alley's dead end. Tanjiro is still claiming that the boy is wrong about Nezuko's appearance, only for him to walk through the wall, instructing him to do so as well.

MC, After reaching the udon store, I followed the scent of Tanjiro to meet him.

Tanjiro met the beautiful woman, and she introduces herself to Tanjiro as Tamayo and states that the boy is named Yushiro. She narrated her story about how she is in control of bloodlust all that and what she is trying to do, and Tanjiro incredulously asks how old she is, only to be jabbed repeatedly in the stomach by Yushiro for asking for her age.

Tanjiro senses that she is pure and honest and someone he can fully trust. Finally, he asks if it is possible to transform a demon back into a human. Tamayo claims there is a way to turn someone into a human. Upon hearing this, Tanjiro tries in close to receive the answer, but Yushiro angrily flips him over for trying to get near Tamayo.

She gives him a vital task: to produce an elixir for treatment, she would need both blood samples from Nezuko and from demons as close to Muzan as possible. Due to Nezuko's condition of sleeping to heal, Tamayo sees her as extremely rare and unique, since most demons cannot handle being unable to eat for two years. 

The two demons tasked with hunting Tanjiro find the alley where they walked through. One of them uses the eyes imbedded in his hands to follow his path, while the second demon asks if he has found them, playing with a temari while doing so. The Arrow Demon finds his footprints and notes that he is followed by two others. The Temari Demon becomes excited by the upcoming fight, feeling the blood Muzan has given her for strength.

Suddenly, multiple temaris punch through the house, battering the interior and forcing everyone inside to duck for safety. They stop and fly back to their owner, the Temari Demon. As the Arrow Demon wonders how they plan to kill them, she answers, "Vindictively, of course!". Their powerful presence startles both Tanjiro and Yushiro.
