"Sister? Sister? Are you alright?"
Tanjiro looked at Chinatsu, who was standing beside him with her head down and in a daze. He waved his hand in front of Chinatsu and found that she still didn't react. He immediately became excited.
"Sister... mmm..."
"Ah~ Don't be so loud, my ears..." Chinatsu covered Tanjiro's mouth with one hand, while gently stroking her own ear with the other.
I was so engrossed in thinking that I completely forgot Tanjiro was standing right next to me.
"Let's go, let's meet up with everyone first."
"Um!"
Tanjiro breathed a sigh of relief. As long as his sister was alright, he was relieved. He didn't want to lose another member of his family.
After the Mugen Train stopped, everyone gradually gathered in the same carriage. When Nezuko walked in, holding a Nichirin Blade in a state of exploding blood and burning, everyone was startled by the sight.
"Everyone... don't be afraid... I started this fire..."
Hearing Nezuko's hurried explanation, everyone finally realized that Nezuko was a demon, and a demon who was not afraid of sunlight and had a very special bloodlust. The fire must be a blood demon technique, which is perfectly normal for a demon like her to know blood demon techniques.
Chinatsu was somewhat surprised that Nezuko's Blood Demon Art would awaken at this time, but it was a good thing. Nezuko's Blood Demon Art was no simple matter. It was incredibly powerful against demons, and when applied to swords, it could produce an effect similar to a Crimson Blade. When applied directly to humans, it could also remove negative effects inflicted by demons, such as poison.
Blood Burst... an all-powerful divine skill!
Kyojuro, standing beside Chika, had keen senses. Although he didn't know what Nezuko's Blood Demon Art was for, he could tell that it was extraordinary and not just a simple fire-starting technique.
The group rested and chatted in the carriage. After all, the cleanup work after the battle wasn't their responsibility. Although it wasn't nice to say it like that, if anyone had a headache, it was [hidden] headache. Their part in the battle was just physical pain.
The leisurely time didn't last long. Suddenly, Chika and Kyojuro's expressions turned serious. They each grabbed the people on their left and right sides and quickly leaped to the left and right.
The next moment, the top of the train above them exploded as if hit by a cannonball, and the carriage they were in was forcibly split in two. Fortunately, Chika and Kyojuro reacted quickly enough, otherwise they would have suffered a considerable impact even if they were not directly hit.
Thick smoke billowed from the center of the carriage that had been split in two, and a figure emerged from it, walking step by step out of the smoke.
Although there was no background music (BGM) here, Chika, who had watched the anime, couldn't help but recall the catchy BGM that accompanied Akaza's entrance in the anime.
As the music in her mind began to play, Chinatsu unconsciously tensed up. As Akaza emerged from the thick smoke, the music was turned up to its maximum volume.
Akaza, Upper Moon Three, the Demon of the Fighting Realm.
His hair was pink, his eyes were gold, and he wore only a purplish-red short shirt. His entire body was covered in dark blue tattoos that symbolized sinners.
Chika had imagined many ways he could enter, but this sudden entrance, which broke through the top of the carriage, still caught her completely off guard.
Akaza, emerging from the thick smoke, glanced directly past Chinatsu and looked at Kyojuro on the other side. In his eyes, Kyojuro was surrounded by a very strong fighting spirit, which greatly intrigued him.
Akaza admires the strong and is extremely uninterested in, or even hates, the weak.
Akaza looked at Kyojuro, who was in a fighting stance in front of him, and smiled as he extended a hand to him, saying, "You are a [Pillar], right? I can sense that the aura on your body is on a completely different level from others. Become a demon, and you can train for a hundred or two hundred years at your leisure. I believe you will definitely grow to the level where you stand shoulder to shoulder with me!"
Hearing the invitation from the demon, Kyojuro frowned and decisively said, "We will grow old and die. That is the beauty of the brevity of human life. I have no interest in immortality, much less will I join you. Besides, you said that my aura is not on the same level as others? That's not true, is it?"
Akaza smiled faintly, without turning around, but turned his head to look at Chinatsu behind him at an angle.
"You mean her? Her fighting spirit is indeed very strong, which is rare among women, but I'm not interested in her... Women, I don't kill or eat women. If you know what's good for you, you can leave now. I swear I won't chase after you." Akaza glanced at Chinatsu behind him and said calmly.
"Thank you so much!"
"Um………………"
"But I refuse!"
Chinatsu's entire art style changed, becoming extremely rugged. This sudden change left Tanjiro, who was standing next to her, completely bewildered. Of course, Tanjiro wasn't the only one who was bewildered.
After calming down, Chika smiled and said one of the famous lines from the JoJo series. In fact, she had wanted to use JoJo references for a long time, but she hadn't had the chance before. Now that she had the opportunity, she said she would definitely make a decisive move.
Akaza paused for a moment, as if three big black question marks had appeared above his head, while Chinatsu's unique art style continued.
“One of the things I, Kamado Chinatsu, love to do most is to say ‘No’ to people who think they are better than me! And I said ‘think they are better than me,’ Upper Moon Three, I believe you will soon regret what you just said.”
Chinatsu gripped the Nichirin Blade tightly with one hand, flames raging on its blade. With a thud, she charged fiercely towards Akaza.
Although Akaza was slightly annoyed, he still took a step forward and unleashed his Blood Demon Art in the face of Chinatsu's attack, and a twelve-pointed snowflake array appeared beneath his feet.
[Spell Deployment: Destruction Kill - Compass]!
The instant this skill was unleashed, Akaza easily captured the fighting spirit from all directions with his body. When Chinatsu slashed from behind, Akaza simply nimbly turned his body and dodged it.
Under the influence of this skill, the user transforms into a compass, and the surrounding battle aura becomes a pointer, making the user's attack and evasion movements as precise as if attracted by a magnet.
The stronger the opponent's fighting spirit, the more accurate your reaction will be!
Akaza easily dodged Chinatsu's attack. Akaza sighed helplessly and reached out to grab Chinatsu by the collar and throw her off the battlefield.
Just as his hand was about to grab Chinatsu, Chinatsu made an evasive maneuver as if she could use a "compass," deftly dodging Akaza's grasp.
"What?!"
Akaza was taken aback. Although his goal was not a direct attack, his speed did not slow down as a result.
Facing Chinatsu's second attack immediately after she dodged, Akaza chose to leap into the air and create distance between himself and Chinatsu.
Akaya landed on the ground not far away, raised her head in surprise, and looked at Chika, who had stopped in place and missed her attack, and said, "What's wrong with your movements?! Are you human?!"
Chika, holding her sword in one hand, turned to look at Akaza not far away and said with a smile, "Oh my, it seems we're the same type of Stand user~"
"………………"
