In the hazy afternoon light, a two-story wooden house made of beige wood and deep ink stands in the alley. Suddenly, a deafening roar shatters the tranquility, the windows on the second floor shatter and two figures fall like shooting stars, landing heavily on the thick grass in the yard.
One of them, named Zenitsu, has golden hair that shines like ripe wheat in the sunlight. He looks up at the sky with a puzzled expression on his face.
Another is a young boy, his eyes red, shouting, "Mr. Zenitsu, are you okay?"
"Okay?" Zenitsu glanced around, then turned back to the young boy. "What do you mean? How could I not be okay?"
The little boy bit his lower lip and said, "When the room changed, we were pushed out of the window and fell from the second floor."
Zenitsu was stunned, then suddenly felt a sharp pain at the back of his head. He reached out to touch it and saw his palm covered in fresh blood. His face changed color and he almost lost his balance for a moment.
"I see, so this blood is dripping from my head!" Zenitsu had a sudden realization expression.
The little boy nodded, tears rolling down his cheeks. "Yes."
Just then, there was another loud bang, and a man wearing a pig mask flew out of the broken window on the second floor, somersaulted in the air, and landed steadily on the ground. His eyes were bloodshot, and he shouted fervently, " Super Rush Headlong! Super Rush Headlong!"
Zenitsu glanced over and his expression turned serious. "That's... the fifth qualified candidate who appeared in the final selection. He moves up and down the mountain faster than anyone else, a hot-tempered guy."
Pigheaded Man caught sight of a wooden box and his pupils suddenly contracted: "There's a ghostly aura!"
He quickly rushed towards the wooden box, about to reach out and open it, when Zenitsu swiftly inserted herself in the way, blocking his path.
"Stop! You can't touch this wooden box!" Zenitsu roared.
The Pigheaded Man looked puzzled, "What are you talking about? There's clearly a ghostly aura coming from that box."
Zenitsu spread his hands and gazed firmly, "This is Tanjiro's most precious possession. If you dare to touch it, be prepared to face the consequences!"
Pigheaded Man smirked, drew his sword suddenly, a beam of light cut through the air, instantly confronting Zenitsu. Tension filled the entire courtyard for a moment.
"I knew this from the beginning!" Zenitsu declared loudly. He had noticed early on that Tanjiro was accompanied by a demon, as the voices of demons and humans are distinct. However, he chose to believe Tanjiro.
"I will go ask Tanjiro in person, so you better step aside first!" Zenitsu showed a rare serious expression on his face.
"You coward who only knows how to talk pretty, you don't even dare to draw your sword!" Pigheaded Man taunted.
"If you are also a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, then draw your sword and fight! What kind of man just cowers there!" Pigheaded Man continued disdainfully.
At that moment, Tanjiro appeared, covered in wounds, and witnessed this scene. It reminded him of how his mother had fought so desperately to protect her other siblings before she passed away.
Pigheaded Man began to grow impatient: "I will pierce you and that box together!"
"Stop!" Tanjiro roared and rushed forward, hitting Pigheaded Man hard in the abdomen with his fist.
"Aren't you also a member of the Demon Slayer Corps?" Tanjiro scolded as he heard the sound of bones breaking while fighting.
"Do you know why Zenitsu doesn't draw his sword? Because in the Demon Slayer Corps, drawing a sword against a comrade is a taboo!"
"You are bullying Zenitsu so unfairly! How despicable!" Tanjiro clenched his fists.
Pigheaded Man laughed, "Haha, so that's how it is. Well then, I'm sorry, let's switch to a bare-handed competition!"
"No, you completely misunderstood my meaning. First of all..." Tanjiro tried to explain.
But Pigheaded Man didn't seem to have any intention of letting him continue, and jumped up directly.
"As a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, we cannot engage in a competition. This is not a problem that can be solved with just bare hands!" Tanjiro emphasized once again."
But obviously, Pigheaded Man did not take Tanjiro's words to heart. He propped himself up with his hands and gave Tanjiro a fierce roundhouse kick, almost catching Tanjiro off guard.
Zenitsu stood on the side, observing their fight, and thought to himself, "Wow, that guy is really a monster! His movements are so agile. Tanjiro has broken ribs, clearly at a disadvantage!"
A little boy handed a handkerchief to Zenitsu and helped him wipe the blood from his nose and mouth. Zenitsu thought to himself, "Even Tanjiro broke the taboo and suffered a broken bone..."
Hijou Feiye stood in the distance, watching the two below fight fiercely, with a wounded Zenitsu beside them and three children who had just reunited and were embracing and crying. She considered whether to show herself in her heart, but ultimately decided not to. Thinking of the saying, "No pain, no gain," she wanted them to interact a little more.

Pigheaded Man's gaze was as sharp as a knife, showing no signs of the panic he had just experienced when Tanjiro had confronted him. He coldly said, "Since that's the case, don't blame me for being impolite."
Tanjiro tightened his face and nodded seriously, indicating his acceptance of the other party's challenge.
Pigheaded Man quickly rushes towards Tanjiro, attempting to resolve the battle with a flying kick. But Tanjiro agilely sidesteps, avoiding the kick.
Tanjiro counterattacks, throwing a punch towards Pigheaded Man's abdomen. Pigheaded Man swiftly retreats, skillfully evading the blow.
Pigheaded Man made a forceful leap, attempting to smash Tanjiro's head with his knee. Tanjiro immediately caught his knee with both hands and pushed him back with force.
Tanjiro hooked Pigheaded Man's heel with his foot, trying to unbalance him. Pigheaded Man cleverly kicked Tanjiro's hand with his other foot, freeing himself from the hold.
Pigheaded Man turned around and fiercely attacked Tanjiro with his elbow from behind. Tanjiro hurriedly caught his elbow with both hands, but still felt a sharp pain.
Tanjiro gathered all his strength and punched Pigheaded Man in the side with a turning punch. Pigheaded Man winced in pain, but immediately counterattacked by headbutting Tanjiro's chin.
Two people threw punches at the same time, their fists collided in the air, making a loud noise. Zenitsu stood by, stunned, thinking, "These two are both monsters!"
Tanjiro kicked hard towards Pigheaded Man's waist. Pigheaded Man quickly caught the kick with his hand, but Tanjiro immediately kicked towards his arm with the other foot.
Pigheaded Man suddenly lowered his head and fiercely butted Tanjiro. Tanjiro narrowly avoided it, but Pigheaded Man's headbutt hit his shoulder.
Tanjiro focused all his energy and abruptly stopped just a few centimeters away from Pigheaded Man, pushing him with the palm of his hand. Pigheaded Man felt a powerful force pushing him back, causing him to stumble several steps.
Both of them were panting heavily, sweating profusely, but their eyes remained determined.
Hijou Feiye Watching this scene, I couldn't help but smile slightly and think, "Indeed, no pain, no gain. This battle, regardless of the outcome, will make them understand each other better."
Zenitsu thought to himself, "Wow, this battle is too intense, I dare not intervene. But no matter what, Tanjiro fighting so tenaciously is truly admirable."
Before long, Tanjiro was finally defeated and knocked to the ground by Pigheaded Man with a kick.
"Look how awesome I am! Look how awesome I am!" Pigheaded Man said triumphantly.
Zenitsu thought: "Hmm, repeating it twice is really self-centered."
Pigheaded Man changed to an even more difficult posture. Tanjiro stood up and kindly reminded him, "Don't do that move again, you'll hurt your bones. It's best to stop, otherwise it will be bad for your body."
"Is it really worth making your body worse? Nothing is more important than the happiness you felt just now." Pigheaded Man started changing poses one after another.
"You should seriously consider the consequences for the future." Tanjiro said solemnly.
Seeing that the other party still couldn't control himself, Tanjiro grabbed Pigheaded Man's head and forcefully headbutted him, hoping to calm him down.
Beside them, Zenitsu heard a sharp impact and couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, that sound! Their skulls didn't crack, did they?"
The mask of Pigheaded Man fell off, revealing a face even more delicate than that of a girl, with long hair hanging down to the shoulders.
Zenitsu exclaimed in surprise, "That face... is actually a woman's!"
Pigheaded ManColdly asked, "What did you just say? Do you have a problem with my face?"
"I have no complaints about your face," Tanjiro responded calmly.
"The fair skin paired with rosy cheeks looks quite nice," Tanjiro continued.
"You bastard, come over if you have the guts!" Pigheaded Man shouted angrily.
"I can't do it anymore, I really don't have the strength to fight again." Tanjiro said somewhat helplessly.
"Try using your head to bump into me again." Pigheaded Man taunted.
"I won't do it again. Sit down and rest, are you okay?" Tanjiro asked with concern.
"Hey, you with the wide forehead, remember, I'm Hashibira Inosuke," proudly announced Pigheaded Man.
"How do you write your name?" asked Tanjiro curiously.
"Writing? Hmph, I don't understand calligraphy, but my name is embroidered on the pocket of my pants." Hashibira Inosuke paused suddenly in the conversation.
The child next to him breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Finally, no more fighting."
As soon as the words fell, Hashibira Inosuke suddenly fell backwards and fainted.
Hijou Feiye thought to themselves, "Finally, this almost farcical fight has come to an end."
"Wow, he fell down. Is he dead?" Zenitsu quickly hid behind the little boy and asked in panic.
"He's not dead, probably just a concussion. After all, I just used all my strength to headbutt him." Tanjiro explained.
Zenitsu silently thought to himself, "This is too terrifying... Tanjiro didn't even break a sweat, how tough is his head? Even a pig's head would have been knocked out."
Hijou Feiye remained silent, but felt somewhat relieved in their hearts, "At least, this fight has helped them understand each other better."
