Walking briskly along the path through the fields, Micah and Tanjiro both had tired looks on their faces.

But even so, it still couldn't hide the excitement in their eyes.

Before, whether it was Micah or Tanjiro, both of them were just teenagers.

Micah was twelve years old, and Tanjiro was thirteen.

Micah is learning how to be a hunter, and Tanjiro is just selling charcoal.

The two, who had never embarked on such a long journey, endured hardships along the way, and finally came to the vicinity of the Narrow Misty Mountains today.

"Take a break, recover your strength, I'm afraid I'm going to stay in the mountains tonight."

Hearing Micah's suggestion, Tanjiro nodded and looked for a darker place to put down the box behind him, and then sat down on the ground to rest.

After taking out the water bottle in his backpack and handing one of them to Tanjiro, Micah drank water while looking at his surroundings.

It's not far from the Misty Mountains, and there should still be some villagers around.

But now they no longer need to live in the villagers' homes.

After all, the scale they were looking for lived in this mountain range, and they needed to find it themselves.

As a result, an overnight stay in the mountains is unavoidable.

Even if it's very dangerous in the mountains.

"Tanjiro, when you enter the mountains, you must pay attention to the surrounding environment and don't be careless!"

"I understand!"

After Micah's explanation during this time, Tanjiro is already very aware of the danger and cruelty of ghosts.

But it was precisely this that made him worried.

"Micah, do you think I really have any hope of finding a way to turn a ghost into a man?"

Obviously, after learning from Micah that there is almost no precedent for oni to become human again, even a gentle and optimistic person like Tanjiro can become worried.

"How do I know about such a thing?"

Without looking at Tanjiro behind him, looking at the distant mountains and feeling the breeze, Micah said flatly: "I only know that the road is walked by people, and if no one walks it, there will be no road." ”

"And we just need to keep moving towards our goals."

Turning around and looking at Tanjiro sitting on the ground, Micah put away the kettle and put his bags back on his back.

"Let's go, let's move on!"

"Hmm!"

Unlike his previous worries, he was awakened by Micah's words, and a smile appeared on Tanjiro's face again.

"Let's continue our journey towards the Narrow Sagile Mountains!"

...

"Huh? Narrow Foggy Mountains? It's just the mountain in front of you, but it's getting late, isn't it too dangerous to enter the mountain at this time? ”

Hearing Tanjiro's asking for directions, the woman who lived nearby kindly advised, "There have been a lot of disappearances in the neighborhood recently, so let's be careful." ”

"Please don't worry, we're more than capable of dealing with the danger."

Rejecting the woman's kindness with a gentle smile, Tanjiro, who had already decided to spend the night in the mountains, kept moving forward with the box where his sister was.

Micah, on the other hand, followed him closely.

Compared to Tanjiro, Micah is indeed inferior when it comes to dealing with outsiders.

Therefore, on the road, such as asking for directions or staying overnight, Tanjiro is in charge.

"Please be careful all the way!"

"Thank you!"

In this way, under the worried eyes of the villagers, Micah and Tanjiro embarked on a journey to climb the mountain.

...

"According to the previous villagers, there are either fierce beasts or evil spirits in this mountain, otherwise there would not be many missing people."

Walking at the back of the line, Micah spoke to Tanjiro in front of him about his thoughts.

"Then we really have to be careful!"

Holding his sister Youdouzi's hand, Tanjiro responded with concern.

Because the sun had already set and night was falling, the beans that had been in the box during the day came out of the box, slowing down the gravity that Tanjiro was subjected to.

"There's no need to worry too much, after all, our side will not be too low."

At this time, the strongest of the three is undoubtedly the ghostly Bean.

With her, there is no need to worry about encountering those ordinary ghosts.

And in the original book, the Tanjiro brothers and sisters are about to encounter an ordinary evil ghost, which is not worth mentioning at all.

But even if it is no longer worth mentioning, Micah has already planned in his mind the tactics that he should use when encountering that ghost.

After all, Tanjiro, this kid, is too enthusiastic.

"It smells of blood."

"The road is too steep, someone should have been injured."

With that, the figures of the boy and the girl sprang out and ran towards the Buddhist hall above.

"I'm talking about it."

Caressing his forehead helplessly, Micah's couldn't help but sigh and hurriedly followed.

However, because of the luggage on his body, Micah can't keep up with the Tanjiro brothers and sisters in terms of speed.

When Micah arrives at the temple and sees Tanjiro again, he is greeted by Youdou staring at the corpse in the temple hall and Tanjiro being thrown to the ground by the evil spirit.

Without any hesitation, Mica drew his crossbow and shot it at the demon's head.

"Anyone else?"

Sensing a hint of threat from the weapon in Michael's hand, the demon was about to dodge to the side.

But the speed of the arrow was far beyond his expectations.

Although he didn't hit his head, the powerful arrow still hit him in the neck, and the powerful kinetic energy knocked him out of Tanjiro's body.

"Don't hesitate, Tanjiro! Pick up your axe and get ready for battle. ”

"Yes!"

Although he had heard Micah say that evil spirits were terrible, Tanjiro couldn't help but shake when he saw the evil spirit whose neck was pierced by an arrow but still slowly stood up.

On the contrary, Micah, who was also fighting demons for the first time, was calm and terrifying at this time.

After shooting the arrow, he abandoned his luggage and drew his hunting knife and quickly rushed towards the demon in front of him.

Although the arrow was pierced through the neck, the demon was not fatally wounded.

However, the presence of the arrows still affected the demon's movement and recovery.

Taking advantage of his unpreparedness, Micah ran wildly, swinging his hunting knife and slashing his head off his body.

Then he kicked the demon's head in front of Tanjiro.

"The ghost hasn't died yet, so I'll leave the head to you, Tanjiro!"

Micah then stepped on the body of the demon that had fallen to the ground.

Before the demon could regain control of his body and continue the fight, Micah stepped on his body and raised his crossbow to shoot at his limbs and torso.

Powerful arrows quickly pierced the demon's body, pinning him firmly to the ground, unable to move.

"Bastard, let me go, I'm going to kill you!"

Before Micah could recover from the battle to control the demon's body, he was awakened by the screams of the demons behind him.

Looking back, he saw that the demon's head had been nailed to the trunk of a tree with an axe by Tanjiro.

"Looks like it's solved!"

Exhaling slowly, Micah recovered from his previous calm state.

This was followed by a tremor of the body.

It's not a reaction of fear, it's excitement.

This feeling of wandering between life and death and fighting made Micah extremely excited to arrive.

He may never forget this exhilarating feeling.

On the other hand, Tanjiro, who was also in a state of excitement after the war, soon noticed his sister's strangeness, and he hurriedly stepped forward to bring her back.

He then walked over to the demon's head and pulled out the knife he was carrying.

"Is it going to be the final blow next?"

Looking at the evil ghost in front of him, Tanjiro couldn't do anything.

And just then, a voice came from behind him.

"There's no way to give him a final blow."

As the voice was heard, a samurai dressed in a tengu mask appeared behind Tanjiro.

Looking at his figure, Michael's eyes showed a lot of joy.

He knew that the old man in front of him was the former water pillar they were looking for, that is, the current water pillar Tomioka Yoshiyu's recommended ghost killing team cultivator, Scales Left Near.
