In the middle of a cozy spring-like room, with no news coming in like a storm. Suddenly, several temari balls crashed through the house, continuously bouncing and hitting the inside, forcing the people inside to duck for safety.
"Be careful, Tamayo-sama!" Yushiro rushed to protect Tamayo from the temari balls that were bouncing and destroying the entire house ferociously. Yushiro hugged Tamayo, not letting the debris hurt Tamayo's body.
"Nezuko!" On the other hand, Tanjiro protected Nezuko by hugging her while looking at where the temari ball was coming from.
Soon, the temari ball stopped bouncing smashing all over the house and flew out of the house, returning to its original owner, Iblis with the temari ball and bouncing on the ground, following the swing of his hand.
In the courtyard of Tamayo's house, there was a female demon with a temari bouncing on the ground with a male demon with his eyes closed.
The demon with the temari was a pale-skinned woman with bright yellow eyes with cat-like slits and white horizontal blades with black hair with orange tips. Meanwhile, the demon's hair was styled like bangs in the front.
The demon also wore a pair of long silver earrings and an orange kimono that matched her hair, covered with a black haori on top.
"Ahahaha, just like Yahaba said, the place is invisible. But it's nothing." said Iblis with a smiling temari mixed with madness.
"Tsk, Susamaru, you're making my kimono dirty again!" said Yahaba with great annoyance, raising a palm, revealing green eyes with arrows.
Yahaba was a young man of medium build with pale grayish skin and very short black hair, and a pair of pale orange eyes on his palm, red arrows pointing upwards on each iris with glowing dark green sclera.
Yahaba wears a plain olive green kimono with a brown obi and a dark gray haori, decorated with a green stripe that runs from her shoulders to her wrists. She also wore white tabi socks and a pair of brown zōri with black straps, along with an akoya necklace of large blue pearls.
"Cih, stop being angry! Your kimono isn't dirty!" Sushamaru became very annoyed with Yahaba who kept blabbering about dirtying clothes.
Yahaba then pointed the right palm that had a green eye with an arrow at Tamayo's house. "As I suspected, they hid this house with the Demon Blood Art."
A smile was etched on his mouth, showing sharp canines. "Hmm, so there are demons and demon hunters in the house? How can there be a demon hunter together with a demon?"
Yahaba was a little surprised by this. Suddenly, dust flew up and Yahaba began to feel uncomfortable. Yahaba then turned to Sushamaru, pointing her left palm.
Irritated, Yahaba said. "Susamaru, stop bouncing that ball of yours. Also, use a neater attack. You're starting to get my clothes dirty with dust."
Meanwhile, Susamaru did not turn his head and just smiled at the destroyed house while playing temari. "That sucks, you should thank my balls for finding them, okay?"
"I want to play longer. And your clothes aren't dirty, you temper tantrum!" Susamaru said this with an exasperated tone of voice.
"Tsk, forget it! Susamaru, how do you think we kill them?" Yahaba asked with a smile like a psychopath.
"Hahaha, are you stupid, Yahaba? Of course, kill them ruthlessly! I'm sure His Highness will be very pleased!" Susamaru said happily.
Susamaru imagined he could hear his target's screams and see each of his enemy's mangled flesh rolling around in his temari's balls.
Inside the house, Tanjiro hugged Nezuko very tightly. While Yushiro hugged Tamayo, intending to protect Tamayo from falling building debris.
The presence of the two demons who were standing in the courtyard of Tamayo's house managed to make Tanjiro and Yushiro feel fear because the air of Susamaru and Yahaba's presence was very strong and shocking.
While hugging Nezuko tightly, Tanjiro saw the figure of the demons with temari in the courtyard outside Tamayo's house. "A ball!"
"With just that ball, that demon could destroy the house this badly?" Seriously, Tanjiro watched every move the demon with the temari would make.
"Hahaha, found it! The demon hunter with Hanafuda's earrings!" Susamaru finally saw Hanafuda's earring hanging from Tanjiro's ear.
Realizing who was the target, Tanjiro looked at Tamayo and Yushiro. "Tamayo-san go and bring that unconscious woman. Because I'm their target."
Tamayo narrowed her eyes, looking at Tanjiro and Nezuko. "Tanjiro-san, don't worry about me and Yushiro. Involve me in your fight. We'll be fine without your protection."
"Because we are demons." Tamayo said very coldly and seriously.
Suddenly, Susamaru threw a temari at him with incredible speed, Tanjiro was surprised for a moment. With Tanjiro focused, watching and determining the form to defeat him.
'Should I avoid it? No! That ball is too fast! This is the only thing I can do!' Inhaling as much air as possible, a heavy stream of water suddenly burst from Tanjiro's mouth.
"Mizu no kokyū." said Tanjiro in a voice as calm as a stream of water.
"Shizuku Hamon Tsuki!" Tanjiro immediately leaned forward and made a precise, quick and accurate stab with his sword. Suddenly, ripples of water in the pond sprung up right in front of him.
Finally, the temari stopped in midair impaled by his sword. From the courtyard, Susamaru smiled with the madness of a psychopath. The eyes in Yahaba's palms flickered, as the temari caught in the blade of Tanjiro's sword was suddenly pulled back.
Once loose, the temari flew back so fast that it slammed into Tanjiro's stomach. Tanjiro spit out a mouthful of blood from the force of the blow.
"Hahaha, is he stupid? Yahaba!" Susamaru burst out laughing. "No problem, him being stupid is good! Because it's fun!"
Susamaru took off his kimono to fight more freely. "You're honored to be killed by us, one of the 12 Kizuki!"
"12 Kizuki?" When Tanjiro heard this, Tamayo explained that they were demons who served directly under Muzan.
Susamaru grew two new pairs of arms and formed four more temari to fight, now enjoying the battle.
"Hahaha, this is fun!" Susamaru launched all six temari into the house.
Swish!
With unimaginable speed, the temari in Susamaru's hands shot out like bullets. As soon as they entered the house, all the temari that were thrown bounced to all sides. Tanjiro was increasingly wary of every ball that bounced.
Tanjiro was forced to avoid all the temari that kept bouncing all over the house. Beside Tanjiro, Nezuko also dodged, sometimes hitting temari that were aimed at her strongly.
In Yushiro's arms, Tamayo tried to think whether to cast the spell now but saw that Tanjiro would be affected, while to turn Yushiro in fighting mode, Tamayo needed a lot of time.
Tanjiro began to be overwhelmed by more temari. Not just Tanjiro, even Nezuko also seemed to be getting overwhelmed with holding and dodging every temari that arrived.
While on the other hand, Yushiro protected Tamayo, hugging her tightly. While protecting Tamayo's body, Yushiro could see the bastard demons outside.
"That bastard girl must be one of Kibitsuji Muzan's subordinates!" muttered Yushiro.
In the midst of the temari bouncing to all sides of the house like an endless storm, Yushiro stopped hugging Tamayo and stood up with an expression full of anger.
As soon as the bouncing temari flew towards him, Yushiro slapped the temari until it changed trajectory. But, it was different from the previous attack because the temari's trajectory changed. The temari suddenly flew up, aiming for Yushiro's head with tremendous force.
Crot!
Yushiro's head shattered like an exploding water balloon. Tamayo immediately hugged Yushiro's body, which immediately fell down.
"Yushiro-san!" Tanjiro shouted while looking at Yushiro's head that was crushed by Temari's blow.
