  Demon Syer World.

  Atop a mist-shrouded mountain peak, a fsh of white light appeared.

  Two figures materialized – Roy and Saeko.

  Roy surveyed their surroundings.

  T trees surrouhem, casting the forest in a dim light. It was winter, and snowfkes drifted dowing as they nded on their shoulders.

  Where are we?

  Roy wondered, unsure where the system had transported them.

  "Is this the other world?" Saeko asked, her eyes curiously sing the surroundings. The dim light didn't hinder her demonic vision.

  After a brief observation, finding nothing particurly iing amongst the t trees, Saeko turned her attention back to Roy.

  Lost in thought, Roy suddenly felt Saeko's arms around him from behind.

  "Eh? Saeko?" Roy blinked, startled out of his ption.

  "It's a rare opportunity to be aloh Roy," Saeko murmured softly in his ear, her resting on his shoulder.

  Roy paused, realizing that he had ruly spent time aloh Saeko. They hadn't even been on a proper date like a normal couple. A pang of guilt struck him.

  He turned around, embrag Saeko tightly. "Don't worry, Saeko! lenty of time. We'll be together forever!"

  Roy made a mental o spend more quality time with each of the girls individually wheurned.

  Saeko's face lit up with a radiant smile, her eyes filled with warmth.

  "Mm!" she replied softly.

  Overe with emotion, Roy couldn't help but lean in and kiss her.

  After a tender moment, it was time to focus oask at hand.

  "Saeko, let's fly up and see if there's anyone around," Roy suggested. He figured the system wouldn't send them to a location irrelevant to the plot.

  In other words, there had to be a pce from the inal story nearby, just like when he was transported directly to Fujimi Academy in the Highschool of the Dead world.

  "Okay!" Saeko agreed with a bright smile.

  They unfurled their Devil wings and took to the sky.

  The sky was overcast, with snowfkes swirling around, limiting their visibility.

  Despite this, Roy sed their surroundings. However, the dense forest obscured any signs of human habitation.

  Just as Roy was about to leave with Saeko, he heard the csh of swords.

  "Someone's fighting!" Roy's eyes lit up as he turowards the distant mountaihe sounds inated.

  "e on, Saeko, let's go see!"

  Holding Saeko's hand, Roy flew towards the source of the otion.

  Soon, they arrived at the location and quietly nded nearby.

  "Eh? Isn't that boy Tanjiro Kamado?" Roy excimed in surprise, reizing one of the figures engaged in bat.

  With dark red hair, a scar on his forehead, a ge determined expression, and a green and bck checkered haori, the boy was undoubtedly the protagonist of *Demon Syer* – Tanjiro Kamado.

  Then he looked at the other boy, with pink hair and a mask, who arring with Tanjiro.

  And beside them, the fight, was a small girl with long bck hair and a somewhat expressionless, adorable face.

  Without a doubt, these two must be Sakonji Urokodaki's other Students, Sabito and Makomo.

  It seemed they had arrived two years after Tanjiro began his training with Urokodaki.

  Realizing this, an idea sparked in Roy's mind.

  He focused his attention ba Sabito and Makomo. He could tell that they were merely spirits. They had died in the Final Sele at the hands of the Hand Demon.

  Roy couldn't help but marvel at the peculiarity of this world. They had been dead for years, yet they could still appear as spirits, capable of fighting Tanjiro. It seemed rather uific!

  "Tanjiro Kamado?" Saeko questioilting her head in fusion at Roy's outburst.

  "Yes, that boy with the burgundy hair is Tanjiro Kamado," Roy expined, pointing.

  Saeko nodded in uanding, not questioning how Roy khis.

  Meanwhile, the two figures in the clearing had grown serious.

  Tanjiro, gripping his sword with both hands, faced Sabito, who stood before a massive boulder.

  "I will win today!" Tanjiro decred with unwaveriermination.

  Sabito remained silent, his masked face revealing ion as he awaited Tanjiro's attack.

  Tanjiro took a deep breath, unsciously activating his Breathing Style. In the instant, he charged forward.

  There were no fshy sword teiques, just a simple downward strike.

  Sabito raised his sword, but Tanjiro was faster, his bde slig through the air.

  "Fast!" Saeko gasped, impressed by the sheer swiftness of the attack.

  She khat before being a Devil, she could never have executed such a strike.

  "That's the power of Breathing Styles," Roy expined with a smile. "And it's one of the reasons we're here."

  Breathing Styles were mentioned in the Uesugi swordsmanship style that Saeko practiced, so she was familiar with the cept.

  However, these teiques had long been lost in their world. To her surprise, they existed here.

  Saeko's anticipation grew as she watched the battle unfold with keen i.

  As Tanjiro's bde ected, Sabito's mask split in two.

  Then, the boulder behind Sabito was cleaved in half. This was a deliberate act by Sabito, guiding Tanjiro's strike towards the boulder.

  Cutting the boulder was a test Urokodaki set for his Students. Only those who could aplish this feat were allowed to participate in the Final Sele and bee Demon Syers.

  Despite his mask being split, Sabito, as a spirit, remained unharmed.

  A smile spread across Sabito's face.
