The first scene in the novel opens in Sakura's serene village, where she is engaged in a friendly sparring match with her childhood friend, Hiroki. The sun is gently setting, casting a warm glow over the training grounds as the sound of laughter fills the air.
Sakura's eyes sparkle with determination as she wields a wooden practice sword, clad in a makeshift demon slayer uniform she created herself. Her wild, jet-black hair dances in the breeze as she takes a confident stance, ready to face Hiroki, who also wields a wooden sword.
"You won't beat me that easily,Hiroki!" Sakura declares with a bright grin,her spirit shining through every word she says.
Hiroki chuckles playfully"We'll see about that, Sakura ! don't think I'll go easy on you ".
With a burst of energy, Sakura lunges forward, unleashing a flurry of swift and precise strikes. Her movements are imbued with the same determination that fuels her dreams of becoming a powerful demon slayer. Despite her smaller stature, her agility and enthusiasm make her a formidable opponent.
The two friends engage in a spirited match, their wooden swords clashing and echoing in the training grounds. Sakura's eyes are alight with passion as she puts all her strength into each strike, her heart set on winning the friendly contest.
Her spirited behavior shines through in her unwavering resolve, even as Hiroki matches her blow for blow. She refuses to back down, pushing herself beyond her limits, fueled by her unyielding spirit.
As the sun dips below the horizon, signaling the end of their match, Sakura and Hiroki stand panting, their faces flushed with excitement. Sakura's eyes sparkle with joy as she extends a hand to her friend, smiling brightly "I guess I won the contest ,Hiroki" she says as she pants heavily.
That was amazing, Sakura! You really have the spirit of a true demon slayer," Hiroki compliments, giving her a nod of respect.
"Thank you, Hiroki!" Sakura replies, her spirit undaunted. "One day, I'll become the strongest demon slayer this world has ever seen, and I'll protect everyone I care about!".
As Sakura and Hiroki catch their breath after their spirited sparring match, they hear the familiar voices of Sakura's parents calling her from their nearby home. Sakura's eyes light up with affection as she turns towards her parents, who stand at the entrance with warm smiles on their faces.
"Sakura, dear, it's getting late. Come inside, dinner is almost ready," her mother calls out lovingly.
Alright, Mom!" Sakura responds with a cheery tone, her enthusiasm undiminished even after an intense match.
She turns to Hiroki, "Thanks for the match, Hiroki. Let's continue tomorrow!"
"Definitely! You're getting stronger every day, Sakura," Hiroki replies with a grin.
With that, Sakura and Hiroki part ways, and Sakura makes her way to her parents. As she approaches them, she wraps her arms around her mother and father in a tight hug, expressing her love and gratitude.
"I had so much fun, Mom, Dad! I can't wait to become a real demon slayer and make you proud !"
