Three days later
A young man and woman could be seen walking side by side on a narrow dirt road
The young man had Silver hair and golden eyes, he was wearing a somewhat modern and comfy looking sportswear, and had a sword tied to his waist
The handle and scabbard were pitch black in color with golden mysterious patterns engraved on them, giving off a noble yet supernatural vibe
The young woman next to him had Shining scarlet eyes and long black hair tied into a ponytail, she was wearing some sort of modern comfy-looking clothes
As for where did all of those modern clothes come from?
'Ughhh'
Just thinking about it gives Lorien PTSD flashbacks
It was after he made a breakthrough in his relationship with Saigai and after she knew his ability, he had the 'brilliant' idea of showing her he could instantly create and customize clothes with it
Completely forgetting woman's obsession with clothes, And ohh boy was it a mistake
At the time he nearly turned into a Chinese clothes factory...and it was only after some negotiation was he able to 'escape'
At least he only has to do it once a month now
.
To reach their current location, they left their home around a day and a half ago, and they had to stay a night in another town halfway here to rest
The unavailability of modern transportation made moving long distances really difficult and inconvenient
Even though its the Taisho Era (1912-1926) the technology wasn't widespread as it was mostly concentrated in cities
But thankfully with their enhanced physical strengths, walking such long distances wasn't that big of an issue
Walking past the many farming lands on both sides of the road, a mountain could clearly be seen in the distance, And according to the information they gathered it should be 'Sagiri Mountain'
'We are nearly there...'
Just as they were walking, Saigai who was next to Lorien suddenly spoke, her eyes shining a bit, full of curiosity
"Can I touch it?"
'Huh?'
Following her gaze, he found that her eyes were focused on the sword tied to the left side of his waist
Catching this he nodded and slowly took it off passing it to her, who quickly held it, unsheathed it, then started examining it
Seeing her observing slowly and then waving it around her eyes shining brightly, Lorien shook his head trying to hold back his laughter
Her current state is similar to that of him when he just started training, this is also the case for many others who also just practicing
People in that time period usually get a fascination for swords and want to own one of their own
Even though it wasn't long since she began practicing, it appears that her love for swords started appearing, and like any other swordsman she probably wants a sword
And Just as Lorien was thinking, Saigai already finished looking at it and sheathed it again, then reluctantly returned it to Lorien, it appears she wasn't finished playing yet
*Puff*
"Hahhahaha"
Seeing this Lorien was finally unable to hold back his laugh which caused her face to quickly redden as she glared at him
"Hey!! Don't laugh!"
Noticing this he laughed even harder as he held her hand and said
"After you finish your training I'll make you one"
"Really??!"
Hearing this she quickly held his hand even tighter and said, her eyes shining brightly, figurative stars appearing in them
"Yes, Yes, Really..."
"Yeeeey, I Love you"
Feeling a soft touch on his cheek Lorien just laughed softly as they continued their journey toward the mountain

And meanwhile in another part of the country and more precisely in Yoshiwara, Tokyo
Three Individuals could be seen entering the huge entertainment district by carriage
One was a young man, his black hair was messy but tied into a ponytail, and he had a serious and emotionless expression on his face
To his left sat a tall man, he had golden hair with red streaks along the end, and he had a weird charismatic, and enthusiastic atmosphere around him
And finally, the last member of the team was a curvaceous young woman that has long pink hair that fades into a green color, she kept looking at everything around in a daze unknown what she was thinking
Right now the place seems a bit deserted as its still daytime, which is opposite to other locations where right now should be the time when most activities are occurring
Those three are Rengoku, Giyu, and Mitsuri, a combination of 2 men and a woman, This choice was made because of the location and characteristics of their next target
Disembarking the three started talking in a low voice as they walked in a certain direction
"The information stated that upper moon 6 is hidden here"
"To think it's disguised as an Oiran named Warabihime...It was Kyogoku house right?"
"Yes, but according to the information, we need to kill her and her brother at the same moment for them to truly die..."
"Okay, then we should..."
The plan essentially consists of only one hashira attacking first and that's Mitsuri, as the information stated that this demon has an obsession with beauty and it may be hard to drag it out otherwise
And then they'll just wait for the other one to appear (Gyutaro) before the other two do a surprise attack ending the fight as soon as possible, simple yet efficient
Demon Slayers weren't interested in fair fights, as long as demons die without causing damage to their side then its a win
And that's also why Three Hashiras demon slayers were sent at the same time even though it's a bit of an overkill
After going through the plan one more time they turned silent and decided to hide in the nearby Wisteria labeled house for the time being
But just as they were about to enter Mitsuri suddenly stopped as she took out a seed out of her clothes
If Lorien was there he'll instantly know that it was the seed of the Tree of Dreams
"Ummm I remembered, I need to plant this in the middle of the district..."
Seeing this both nodded as they remembered the deal the Lord talked about
And so both before entered the small house, while she walked in a different direction towards the center of the district
Neither of them was worried that she'll meet the demon now as it was still daytime, and there was still enough time before sunset

I am debating whether I should write about the entertainment district battle or not, but tbh i am leaning towards not doing so as I feel like its a bit of a filler (So please leave a comment if you want/don't want to see it)
If not then the next chapter will finally cover meeting tanjiro....etc
Please leave some [spirit stones] as it is a great source of motivation for me
