"Ara ara, Takeshi-kun, you really know how to coax girls. I was clearly still very sad just now. Honestly, how many girls have you said such things to?" Kanae's previous anxiety and unease were swept away, replaced by a thick smile in her eyes.
"I haven't," Takeshi immediately retorted, his tone carrying the helplessness of being teased, before throwing the question back, "What about you? Someone as outstanding as you must have had many pursuers in the past, right?"
"Hmm... before becoming a Hashira, there were indeed some."
Wasn't that only natural?
After becoming a Hashira, the difference in status and strength became too vast.
"But you know, I haven't been in love yet!"
"Don't worry, on that point, I'm the same."
That night, Takeshi and Kanae chatted for a long time.
Takeshi also introduced many things about his own world.
For example, schools, amusement parks, snack streets, and essential oil SPA clubs... Kanae listened with great interest. If she had the chance, she would also want to live in such a world, though she'd skip the essential oil SPA; it sounded a bit improper.
Late at night—
"Hee hee, what a cute little girl. Her skin is so fair and tender; she looks delicious!"
A demon that looked like a Buddha, its head covered in large bumps, blocked Kanao's path.
It opened its foul-smelling mouth, and between its jagged teeth, flesh was clearly visible; it had obviously just harmed someone.
Kanao's face was calm, showing no emotion.
On her pink kimono-style clothing, not even a speck of dust could be seen.
The Buddha Demon stuck out its long, crimson tongue and licked its row of teeth. "Hee hee, is the little girl scared out of her wits? Don't be afraid. You won't be scared once you're inside Uncle's belly!"
As it spoke, the Buddha Demon lunged toward Kanao.
Swish—
Clang!
Before the Buddha Demon could react, a ripple of pink light appeared before its eyes.
As the world spun, it saw its own pair of pitch-black feet... "Aaaah—you actually killed me... my boss won't let..."
Before it could finish its words, its entire head immediately burst into flames.
Kanao didn't sheathe her blade immediately, but instead looked toward another direction.
"Eek!"
In the darkness, there was something nearly the size of a potato... no, rather than a thing, it was a demon!
Seeing Kanao look over, it panicked and rolled away on the ground like a flaming wheel to escape.
Kanao originally intended to give chase, but the little potato demon flipped over and actually jumped straight off the cliff.
Kanao had no choice but to stop.
"Fourteen..."
Kanao's lips moved slightly as she uttered a number almost inaudibly.
After the rolling potato demon fell off the cliff, it quickly rolled down a path covered in thorns.
After a long time, it stopped at a deep, dark cave.
The potato demon immediately crawled inside.
It rolled onto a headless torso, and then the two surprisingly began to merge perfectly.
It became a Small-Headed Demon.
"Too, too terrifying! She killed Third Brother in a single blow!"
The Small-Headed Demon wore a horrified expression.
It walked tremblingly into the depths of the cave, where a massively obese demon lay, its size nearly as large as the Hand Demon.
This demon had white cloth wrapped around its vital parts; it looked like it had once been a sumo wrestler.
"Bo... Boss, Second Brother and Third Brother have both been killed!"
"Hmph—" The Sumo Demon's nose twitched as it let out a muffled grunt.
It slowly sat up, its entire body as large as a small mountain.
"What did you say? Both the Hand Demon and the Buddha Demon are dead?"
"Ye-yes..." the Small-Headed Demon said tremblingly.
"Hmph—if they're dead, they're dead. To think they couldn't even beat a human—hmph! They deserved to die!"
The Sumo Demon kept making 'hmph hmph' sounds like a wild boar. "However, hmph—it doesn't matter that they died, but they were my subordinates. They can't have died for nothing!"
After saying that, the Sumo Demon's mountain-like body crouched and stood up slightly. It reached out and grabbed the corpse of a swordsman who had died a few days ago from the ground.
After tossing away the nichirin blade, it swallowed the corpse along with its clothes.
Then it spat out a severed hand and said to the Small-Headed Demon, "This is your reward for obtaining information!"
"Th-thank you, Boss!"
An expression of extreme joy immediately appeared on the Small-Headed Demon's face as it hugged the hand and began to gnaw on it.
"The people who killed Second and Third, do you remember them?"
The Small-Headed Demon immediately stopped eating. "I-I remember. A red-haired boy and a little girl..."
"Hmph—then we'll start with that woman! Hmph! Female meat is more tender!"
After speaking, the Sumo Demon lay down again, and the only sound in the cave was the Small-Headed Demon's gnawing.
Outside the cave entrance, several demons were restless, but none dared to enter.
After finishing the hand, the Small-Headed Demon finally withdrew from the cave with satisfaction.
The sixth night.
Takeshi rescued a swordsman whose legs had already been eaten by a demon, but the man was still alive.
After Takeshi performed simple hemostasis and bandaging, he brought him to the evacuation point.
"Th-thank you!"
"Mm." Takeshi didn't say much.
However, the swordsman grabbed Takeshi's sleeve.
"Is there anything else?"
"You, you must be careful... there's a very powerful demon, you must be careful of it..."
"I understand. Thank you for the information."
Takeshi assumed he was talking about the Hand Demon, but that demon should have been dealt with by Tanjiro by now.
Speaking of which, he hadn't encountered Tanjiro yet.
"That... demon that looks like a sumo wrestler... it, it can use a strange ability... it's too terrifying, too terrifying... even if an official member of the Demon Slayer Corps came, they might not..."
"Hmm?"
Takeshi's brow furrowed slightly as he turned around. "What did you just say?"
"It can use a strange ability. It's tall and large, and the breath it exhales can make people go stiff... my legs were... that's right, that demon and its strange ability... I heard my brother say that some demons have special powers, Blood Demon Arts..."
"Where does it appear? What are its characteristics? Please tell me in detail!"
"It..."
After receiving the information, Takeshi's expression became solemn.
"I didn't expect a Blood Demon Art to appear in Mount Fujikasane!" Kanae's expression also became serious. "I've heard before that some powerful demons in Mount Fujikasane hide in caves to avoid detection by official Demon Slayer Corps members, only appearing during the Final Selection."
"So that's how it is. No wonder..."
No wonder the Hand Demon could survive for so long.
As long as these demons hide, they are difficult to find unless it's a Hashira or a powerful Demon Slayer.
"I hope Tanjiro is alright!"
Takeshi immediately headed toward the location where the swordsman had been attacked.
