At this moment, if you look closely in the direction of the sound, you can see two women fighting with swords at an extremely fast speed.

One of them has black hair that gradually turns purple at the ends, and wears a butterfly-shaped hair accessory on the back of her head.

She held a strangely shaped samurai sword in her hand. The blade was almost entirely hollow, with the original sharpened area completely hollowed out.

This person is one of the nine 'Pillar' level swordsmen of the current Demon Slayer Corps, the Insect Pillar - Shinobu Kocho.

Although she claims that she herself is not very strong and is the only swordsman among the "Nine Pillars" who cannot sever the head of a demon, her agility and speed are top-notch.

As for his weakness of being weak (which he claims to emphasize again), he also made up for his lack of strength by using his expertise in pharmacology to attack with poison.

Logically speaking, within the Far East region alone, aside from the six Upper Moon demons and the Demon King Muzan Kibutsuji, there are probably only her eight colleagues who are also 'Pillar' level swordsmen, as well as many retired former 'Pillar' level swordsmen, who can continuously fight her without being at a disadvantage.

However, the formidable enemy that Shinobu Kocho has locked onto in her sights is not any of the above groups.

The other person had a beauty mark near the corner of their eye, and their white hair was tied into a single ponytail behind their back with a samurai headdress.

Although she was dressed in a dress, she was also wearing black armor, on which were printed family crests shaped like flower stamens.

This white-haired girl, wielding a 'Tenmoku Kagetachi', still seemed to handle the onslaught of a 'Pillar'-level swordsman with ease.

Moreover, with each move, there seemed to be a chilling aura swirling around the blade of his sword.

"Um, isn't there some misunderstanding between us?"

Ayaka Kamisato was sent to the Demon Slayer world by the Traveler Twins last night.

Currently, her Genshin Impact level is Lv.13, and her apparent strength is equivalent to an Orario adventurer with a Grace level of Lv.2. But in essence... well, considering that every Genshin Impact's [Basic Ability] has an exaggerated value of 'SSS-1999', coupled with the four-star Genshin Impact weapon 'Tenmoku Kagekatana' with a weapon level of Lv.60, as well as the multiple enhancements from her talents and artifact sets, Ayaka Kamisato's normal combat strength should have reached the level of a Lv.3 or even close to a Lv.4 'Second-Tier Adventurer'.

at the moment……

"..."

It was the same voice as mine.

Shinobu's expression turned even uglier.

On the way to Mount Natagumo, before even entering the mountain, this 'Insect Pillar' had already seen a towering ice peak rising into the sky from the mountainside.

At that moment, the hatred in my heart could no longer be suppressed.

There's no other reason than that, in Shinobu Kocho's mind, there is only one bastard in this world who has the ability to 'manipulate ice'.

It was that person... no, that person could no longer be called a 'person'.

It was that evil spirit who killed his most beloved older sister.

That was an enemy he absolutely had to personally kill.

And today...

Everything can only be described as a completely unfounded coincidence.

Not long ago, when Shinobu Kocho met Ayaka Kamisato, the latter was actually preparing to summon another Genshin Impact to this world to help heal the wounded people around her who were suffering from severe poisoning.

However, she had just slain a demon and was carrying the 'Tenmoku Kagetachi'.

The blade, and indeed its entire body, was permeated with a chilling aura.

That was undoubtedly a scene that could easily be misunderstood.

So much so that now...

“Ayaka, this is a bit difficult for you, let me handle it.”

"Okay, thank you for your help."

Within the mental link, after a brief exchange, the white-haired girl's expression changed slightly.

Although she was still effortlessly fending off Shinobu's attacks, the worry, anxiety, and helplessness that had been in her eyes just moments before were gone.

He then gave a wry smile.

Then, during the battle, he took the initiative to explain: "Let me make it clear beforehand that I am neither a cannibalistic demon nor a psychologically disturbing scum like 'Doma'."

"Insect Pillar - Shinobu Kocho, why don't you go and treat the injured around here first? They are deeply poisoned and can't be delayed any longer."

Hearing these words...

"you……"

Shinobu Kocho was about to retort, but then...

"To show my sincerity, I will stay in the vicinity until sunrise."

The white-haired girl, Ayaka Kamisato, chuckled lightly, "It's common knowledge that demons cannot move in environments bathed in sunlight."

"and……"

After deflecting Shinobu's thrusting sword strike once again, 'Kamisato Ayaka' quickly retreated, shrugging her shoulders at the same time, "I shouldn't have that cannibalistic, bloody stench on me."

"..."

Upon hearing this explanation, Shinobu Kocho finally stopped.

She gradually regained her composure.

There was no way around it; it involved a blood feud between her closest relatives. Even someone as calm as her could be blinded by hatred at times.

Not to mention, Shinobu Kocho has not openly revealed her former true nature.

In recent years, she has been imitating the behavior of her older sister, Kanae Kocho, as if she were wearing a mask.

Now, after a long time, I took it off on my own initiative.

However, even with endless hatred in her heart, Shinobu Kocho gradually became aware of it after so much time had passed.

The other party never launched any attack against me from beginning to end.

Until now, we have always been on the defensive.

Moreover, just as the white-haired girl in front of me said, she did not have the bloody stench unique to evil spirits.

Even someone who doesn't have a keen sense of smell like Tanjiro Kamado can tell this.

For a time...

"If you're not an evil spirit, how do you explain that ability to manipulate ice just now?"

Shinobu Kocho did not immediately lower her guard.

She must be careful.

After all, if the white-haired girl in front of him really is the 'Upper Moon Two' from his memories...

The stench of blood can be masked.

Evil spirits... may have already overcome the sunlight.

Even if these possibilities are extremely small, as long as they exist, we must be wary of them.

The Upper Moon demons have such a powerful deterrent effect.

At present...

"This one?"

The white-haired girl turned around and pointed to a blue-green crystal on the ribbon at her lower back. "This is the 'Eye of God,' an external magical organ bestowed by the gods. By using it, all intelligent races, including humans, can become 'Primal Gods' and thus gain the power to control 'Elemental Force.'"

"This one of mine is the 'Eye of God' of the ice attribute."

"..."

Shinobu Kocho remained silent.

Who can understand what you're saying?

Chapter Two: Heading to the Demon Slayer Corps Headquarters

A few hours later...

As the first rays of sunlight shone on 'Kamisato Ayaka', Shinobu Kocho, who had been keeping a close watch on her while treating the injured around her, finally relaxed her guard a little.

But without a doubt, she still couldn't completely trust this white-haired girl.

In fact, long ago, 'Kamisato Ayaka' had already put away her 'Tenmoku Kagekatana' and stood empty-handed by a big tree, which could be considered as her taking the initiative to show her sincerity.

In the past half day, the two sides kept a considerable distance from each other, tacitly maintaining a safe distance. In this slightly awkward atmosphere, they finally managed to obtain the information they wanted through verbal communication.

Among them, Shinobu Kocho managed to grasp the concept of the existence of the 'Genshin Impact' group to some extent.

However, she still couldn't fully accept the idea of ​​'traveling through worlds'.

Because... it's really too mysterious.

Even in modern society, many people cannot fully understand its essential meaning.

Not to mention, the Far East region within the Demon Slayer world is still in the Taisho era.

Shinobu Kocho always views Genshin Impact as someone blessed by the gods... uh~

It seems that this understanding is not wrong?

Enough of the digressions.

Meanwhile, 'Kamisato Ayaka,' whose body control was temporarily taken over by Ling Shu's replicated consciousness, learned the exact time point through a brief exchange with Kocho Shinobu.

Of course, after last night's battle, especially since Ayaka Kamisato used ice elemental power to kill a white-haired female demon wearing a kimono, plus the name of this place... this information was actually enough for her to confirm the information regarding the 'time point'.

at the moment……

"It should be right now, right after the 'Natagumo Mountain Arc' storyline ended."

The white-haired girl pondered to herself.

At this time...

"I never imagined that there really are humans in this world who possess 'superpowers'."

Shinobu Kocho walked up to Ayaka Kamisato and bowed slightly. "I apologize for what I did earlier, which was very rude."

By this time, Shinobu Kocho had finished treating all the injured people in the vicinity, thus saving the lives of those Demon Slayer Corps members.

And seeing her bow like that...

"Don't worry about it too much."
