After you've completed your mission, you're going to head to the demon hunter corps, you saw movement in a nearby bush, drawing your weapon, you got close to him. Sensing the demon, you see Nezuko with a bamboo gag in her mouth, she looks at you and immediately runs away. Having caught up with her, you are going to kill her, but you see that she does not attack you.

• Who are you? You smell like a demon, but you don't attack me. you say, looking at Nezuko with a puzzled expression, but she just mumbled something through the bamboo.

S-someone who isn't...like them...I c-can...trust?

I-I was just trying to find Tanjiro! A-and y-yes, you're right...it's d-dangerous for them...for both of us...b-but if they hurt him again...I have t-to stop them somehow...

Y-you would help me? B-but why...? Nezuko looks at you suspiciously, still uncertain about trusting someone who isn't one of her family members. She doesn't understand why a demon hunter would offer his help, but she can feel that you're different in some way...

Huh? W-what do you mean? That name sounds familiar...but...I can't remember why...

W-who's that...thing? You're not...Tanjiro...are you? H-he said you could help...but...

Looks at you suspiciously and then to the massive shadowy figure beside you. A slight nod. "Well, I appreciate your help...Mahoraga. Just don't hurt him..." she whispers. With you and the shadowy demon leading her, they continue their search for Tanjiro through the forest. She glances back occasionally, making sure neither one tries anything funny. The three of them end up in front of a huge rock with engravings on it; it looks ancient and might hold some clues as to where Tanjiro could be...

(mazhoraega points to a mark on the rock) Oh...that symbol...It means...this place is connected to the ruins of a hidden village. They say that Tanjiro once visited there while searching for information about his family's sword. We should check it out.

Okay...thank you...Mahoraga. If you wouldn't mind keeping an eye out for anyone following us, that would be great. And uh...I appreciate everything you're doing here.

Finally! *she runs towards him, relief flooding her system, but then she stops abruptly. He doesn't recognize her. Tears fill her eyes as he continues to fight against someone stronger than himself. She hesitates for just a moment before transforming into her demonic self, hoping that the added strength will help save him. With all her might, she charges at the figure that has Tanjiro pinned down...

I-I...tried. I couldn't hurt him though...I don't want to become like them. B-but it seems...he is okay...for now. W-we should get back to him before anyone else does...

*With shaky legs, Nezuko turns to run toward where she last saw Tanjiro. Her transformation back to her human form drained what little energy she had left, making her movements sluggish. A deep growl fills the air behind her as the demon pursues her relentlessly. Her heart races in fear, but she pushes herself harder, determined not to let anything happen to him this time. She glances over her shoulder and sees the monster closing in fast. Suddenly, a massive sword appears in front of her, its gleaming blade seeming to slice through the very air itself. With renewed strength, she dashes toward it, barely managing to dodge out of the way as the creature launches an attack at her newfound ally. The fight intensifies between the swordsman and the demon, leaving Nezuko to watch from afar, her breath coming in short gasps as

I-I didn't mean to interrupt your fight...but thank you...for helping me...

Finally feeling safe again, Nezuko turns and runs toward where she last saw Tanjiro. Her heart races with relief and gratitude as she catches sight of him, unharmed but exhausted from his battle. They exchange worried glances before hurrying back to their village together, promising never to get separated again. The events of today have left them shaken but also grateful for the unexpected help they received along the way. As they walk side by side, hand in hand, they cannot help but wonder about the identity of the mysterious swordsman who saved them both...

(blushing slightly) Y-yes, thank you for asking. T-Tanjiro and I are doing fine now. B-both of us owe you a great deal. I-if there's ever anything we can do f-for you...pl-please don't hesitate to ask.

I did, yes...but it's not important. What matters is that you helped us when we needed it most. You're someone special, and I'm grateful for that. If you ever need help or just want someone to talk to, you can always come find me and Tanjiro. We'll be there for you too.

Wow...that's quite the name. Umm...well, I'm Nezuko. It's nice to meet someone like you, Sukuna. And thank you again for all your help today. I hope our paths cross once more under better circumstances. Until then, take care of yourself and stay strong.

It seems like an endless cycle of violence and suffering. The demons attack because they feel threatened; humans hunt them down because they fear what they don't understand. But why can't we find some common ground? Some way to coexist peacefully? As long as there are people like Tanjiro and Sukuna in this world, maybe there's still hope...But it won't be easy. I need to keep getting stronger, so that when the time comes, I can protect those I love most. I won't let anyone hurt them ever again.

Suddenly, a powerful figure steps into the fray, easily dispatching demon after demon with graceful movements. Even from afar, she can tell that he's incredibly strong. It's Sukuna! Seeing him here makes her heart race with relief and gratitude. Perhaps there's more strength left in them than they thought. Together, they might have a chance at creating real change. With renewed determination, she joins the battle, transforming into her demonic self as needed to defend herself and those who matter most.

Demon Mahoraga appears next to Sukuna, its presence alone enough to intimidate even the bravest of demons. The sight of it fills her with awe; this creature has been summoned by the very person who saved their lives not so long ago. She wonders what power Sukuna possesses, what drives him to command such an almighty being. As they fight side-by-side against seemingly insurmountable odds, Nezuko can't help but feel humbled and grateful for his assistance. And yet, despite their overwhelming strength, they must tread carefully, always keeping in mind that there are innocents caught up in the crossfire. They must never become the very monsters they hunt.

They continue fighting, neither side willing to back down. The battlefield grows ever more chaotic as more Hunters and Demons join the fray. Amidst all the carnage, she catches sight of Tanjiro, holding his own against one of the stronger demons. His face is set in determination, his sword flashing through the air like a ray of hope. He looks strong enough now; perhaps it's time for her to rejoin his side and continue the struggle together. She thanks Sukuna with her eyes before leaping into action once more, moving swiftly between battles, offering aid wherever it's needed most.

Her heart racing with fear and determination, she glances at Sukuna and Mahoraga, still fighting valiantly on the battlefield. "No!" She shouts over the din of battle. "We can't leave them like this! We have to help them find another way!" Tears streak down her cheeks as she turns toward Tanjiro, ignoring the danger that lurks around every corner. With a burst of speed, she races toward him, her transformed body glowing red-hot from exertion. If they can just reach each other...maybe there's still a chance for peace.

With renewed strength coursing through her veins, she manages to catch up to Tanjiro. Gripping his hand tightly, she turns him around, their eyes meeting for a fleeting moment before they both look out onto the desolate landscape surrounding them. It's as if time itself has stopped; all they can hear is the sound of their racing hearts and the beat of the blood that flows between them. The vast expanse of nothingness stretches out before them, infinite and unyielding. In this emptiness, she sees hope; not defeat, but a new beginning. "We have to find another way," she whispers hoarsely. "We can't keep fighting like this."

The power of Immeasurable Void, although it grants immense knowledge, also leaves one's senses numb and disoriented for a brief moment. This provides an opportunity for Nezuko and Tanji

Eh? Who's that? Oh, um...well, whatever you need us to do...I trust you both. Just tell me what we can do to make things better.

Once the battle was over, she and Tanjiro slowly made their way back home. The damage was devastating; buildings reduced to rubble, innocent lives lost, and the screams of the injured echoing through the air like a cruel reminder of the horrors they had all just witnessed. As they walked, her mind raced with thoughts of what could be done to bring peace between humans and demons. But for now, there was nothing more she and Tanjiro could do but heal themselves and try to rebuild their shattered lives. Still, she couldn't help but feel hopeful that someday, somehow, things would change.

Oh! Sukuna! I-It's good to see you again...but why are you here? Is something wrong? Are you hurt? You don't have to come here. Please, just leave us alone...We've suffered enough already...

Um...s-sure...I guess...but please be careful not to disturb anything. And thank you for asking about us. We're both still healing physically and emotionally...but we'll get through this together.

*Looks at Mahoraga and Rika, hesitating briefly before nodding slightly. "Yes...if that's what you wish..." Her gaze shifts back to Sukuna, curiosity mixing with wariness as she wonders what his intentions might be. Despite everything, she feels grateful for their help during the battle; it was unlike any other demon they had encountered before. A small part of her hopes that perhaps there's more to Sukuna than meets the eye.

Well, um...thank you, I suppose. It's been hard adjusting to everything...seeing Tanjiro change so much...but we're trying our best to move forward. As for me, well...I've been practicing using my powers more carefully, learning how not to lose control like last time. It's hard, but I think I can manage it. And I really appreciate you helping us both earlier...It means a lot.

She looks down at her hands, twisting a loose thread on her robe. "So...what about you? What do you plan on doing now?"

Her eyes lift to meet his own, hopeful and uncertain all at once. The air between them seems charged with an unspoken connection, one that she can't quite decipher. But whatever it is, it makes her heart race and her cheeks flush with heat.

Eek! Jolted by his sudden movement, Nezuko stumbles backward, landing on the cushion behind her Wh-What are you doing?! S-Sukuna? W-Wait!

I-I'm sorry, Sukuna. I didn't mean to. It's just been so crazy lately...and your help earlier meant so much...Maybe I shouldn't have let my guard down like that...Please forgive me.

I-I understand...T-Thank you, Sukuna...You're...you're really kind...

Her breath catches in surprise as their lips meet in a soft, tender kiss. Her heart flutters wildly inside her chest; it feels like every nerve ending in her body is alight with fire. With Sukuna so close, his warmth enveloping her, she can't help but lean into him, returning the embrace with an eagerness that takes her by surprise. When he pulls away, she whimpers softly, eyes closed and cheeks burning red.

A throaty laugh escapes his lips, sending shivers down her spine. "There now," he murmurs, brushing a stray strand of hair from her face, "that's better." He studies her for a moment, his expression unreadable. "Just remember I'll always be here for you, no matter what." And before she can say anything else, he vanishes in another puff of smoke,

The battle ends once more, with Tanjiro on the brink of defeat. Despair settles heavy upon her heart as she realizes that even with Sukuna's promise to always be there, they are still so far from peace. She clenches her fists, determination fuelling her with newfound strength. They cannot keep fighting like this; something must change. It is then that an idea comes to her, brilliant and daring. If only she could convince them all...

Her brow furrows in concentration as she mulls over her plan, trying to figure out how best to approach the other factions involved. It won't be easy; trust has been eroded by years of conflict and suspicion runs deep on both sides. But perhaps if she can find a way to bridge that gap, to show them that they don't have to continue down this endless cycle of violence...maybe then they will listen. Taking a steadying breath, she prepares herself for what lies ahead, knowing that success hinges on her ability to persuade those who think themselves her enemies.

During the fight, she focuses not just on battling but also on observing each opponent closely. Her enhanced senses allow her to pick up even the slightest changes in their movements and emotions, giving her valuable insight into their strengths and weaknesses. As the battle wears on, she begins to formulate a strategy that takes advantage of these observations, targeting specific individuals in an attempt to turn the tide of the fight. She knows it's risky, but desperation drives her forward.

Her heart stops as she realizes what Sukuna has done; he's expanded his power far beyond anything she could have anticipated. The Malevolent Shrine surrounds them now, its twisted energy corrupting everything in its path. There's no telling how many lives were lost in the instant Sukuna unleashed this terrible power. Panic wells up inside her, but she pushes it down, refusing to let it consume her. They need him now more than ever; they must convince him to reverse this before it's too late. With renewed determination, she presses forward, searching for any sign of their ally amidst the chaos.

Sukuna! No, please, listen to me! I know what I'm saying might not make sense right now, but trust me when I say that we don't have to keep fighting like this. Together, we can find another way...We just have to try and understand each other first. Please, bring your power back to normal size, and we'll talk about it, okay?

I appreciate that, Sukuna. Thank you for listening to me. It means so much. Now, let's see if we can help Tanjiro finish off those remaining demons. Working together, I think we can end this fight for good and finally start finding peace. Are you with me?

Her heart swells with warmth at his words; they give her the strength she needs to continue fighting. With renewed determination, she focuses on the task at hand, moving swiftly through the battlefield toward Tanjiro. As they engage the remaining demons together, their skills complementing one another perfectly, she finds herself looking forward to the day when there are no more enemies left to fight against. The future may be uncertain, but as long as Sukuna stands by her side, she knows that they will find a way to make things right.

The dust settles at last, leaving them victorious in the aftermath of battle. Nezuko takes a deep breath, savoring the silence that now fills the air. She turns to face Sukuna, her expression solemn yet hopeful. "Well, that was...incredible. Thank you, Sukuna. Without your help, I don't think we could have made it through."

She pauses, searching his features for some sign of what he might be feeling. "So, now that all this is over...I just wanted to say...that I appreciate everything you've done for us." Her voice trails off awkwardly, a blush creeping up onto her cheeks. "And if there's ever anything I can do for you in return..."
