'This sound she made, at that moment was the same sound that came from that other guy back then, like a sound echoing against the rolling wind.'

"UROKODAKI!" The hand demon saw Urokodaki in Nezuko (I hope that makes sense because in the manga it just shows a scene of the hand demon looking at Tanjiro, and you see Urokodaki and then it switches to Tanjiro in the same pose) Nezuko sliced at the demons neck and decapitated the demon.

The hand demons head which was now lying on the floor on its side watched Nezuko land on the floor,
'Damn, Damn, Damn, Damn! I'm going to die! My body is gradually falling apart, I'm already too late to stop it! In the end she'll gaze upon me with eyes that are as if she's looking at filth, the type of eyes that are full of disdain. Damn it, I'm so afraid to close my eyes, but this body won't allow me to turn my head. I can't believe that the last scene I look upon before my death is the face of a demon slayer-'.

Nezuko turned around and looked at the demon with a look of pity,
'-why do you have that expression on your face?' The hand demon still hand one hand left which had not completely turned into ash, Nezuko walked up to it and looked down at it, she grabbed the hand with both of her hands and rested her forehead against the fingers of the hand.

The demon watched Nezuko and tears started to form in his eyes,
"God, please allow this person to never become a demon again when he reincarnates" the rest of the demon disappeared and Nezuko looked down at her hands,
'Sabito, Makomo, I won. You guys can be at ease now. The other children that were killed will also return just as we promised, even though they are only spirits now. Return back to their beloved Urokodaki-sensei's side, back to their home Narrow Mist Mountain. If I die, my spirit will return to where Tanjiro and Urokodaki-sensei are.'

The 5 survivors stood in front of the black and white haired siblings,
"Welcome back"
"Congratulations. Being safe and sound is better than anything else" Nezuko looked around at the remaining survivors,
'There are only five people left...?! There were 20 or so people before. That guy isn't here too... because I passed out that moment... he... I couldn't save him...' Nezuko put her hand up to her head.

The girl with the butterfly clip was distracted by a butterfly on her finger. The person with (h/c) hair was admiring the wisteria again. The blonde haired boy was muttering about how he was going to die. And the guy with a big scar on his face decided to speak up,
"Eh? Now what do I do? What about the blade?"

"You must first pay for the uniform. Then you must get your body measured and have your rank engraved"
"There are ten ranks in total, you are currently at the lowest 10th level."
"What about the blade?" The guy with a scar asked his question again.

"Today, you will each choose a chunk of tamahagane alloy. Your blade will be completed within 10 to 15 days"
"Also from now on, Kasugai crows will be following you all" a bunch of crows flew down and went to a random participant,
"Eh? A crow? Isn't this... Isn't this a sparrow?" The blonde boy asked, the person with (h/c) hair put a hand over their mouth trying to muffle their laughter.

"Kasugai crows are crows that is primarily used for communication"
'Kasugai, huh' Nezuko admired the crow on her shoulder. The guy with a scar moved his arm aggressively out of the way of his crow causing a commotion,
"I don't care about some dumb crow!" He then stormed up to the girl with white hair, grabbed it and then yelled at her.

"What I want is the blade! Give me that blade right now! The blade of the demon slayers! The 'color changing blade'!" Nezuko grabbed the boys arm,
"Let go of her this instant! If you don't let go I'll break your arm!" The boy glared at Nezuko,
"Huh? Who are you? You can try if you dare!" The black haired sibling just stared forward waiting for the commotion to end.

Nezuko strengthened her grip around the boys arm and a crack sound was heard. The boy stumbled backwards,
"Guh..." he grabbed his injured arm and looked up at Nezuko who was glaring at him.

"Are you done?" The black haired twin questioned,
"If so, please go over there, and choose the alloy that will be used to create your blade." They gestured to a table which had a bunch of different alloys on it,
"The alloy for the blade that will be used to destroy demons and protect yourself will be chosen personally by each of you"

"Is that so" A man who was sitting admiring the scenery in front of him had just received a message from a kasugai crow,
"There are six people remaining, they seem to be excellent. My swordsmen have increased... I wonder what kind of swordsmen they all are."
