Where the two human-demon pairs officially start their mystery/action adventure

A/N: A...a triple update? In one week? *gasp* It-it cannot be! (My fingers are basically dead atp but it is what it is)

That aside, we have now reached the end of the Asakusa Arc and Part One of the story. Let's get right into it and see what awaits us ahead. English is in italics.

Or

Thou shall not say his name!

Enjoy!

Lady Tamayo believed she had seen everything in her entire lifespan and could not be caught by surprise easily. At least, until that night.

"Overrated my intelligence?! What the fuck is that supposed to mean?" were the angry words that could be heard from the roof where Kokushibou landed with you in his arms in a traditional princess carry.

"You told me...you had something important to do...and made me stay underground...with the Kamado girl." His face, unwavering as ever, beheld yours with a judgmental stare. "I did not expect it meant...finding you engaged in a sport...with the intruders."

On the ground, the three demons were being subdued by the Kamado siblings and the demon doctor's assistant. Yushiro's foot dug into Chizenmu's back, the Soil Demon buried face deep in the dirt he loved so much.

In contrast, the raging Yahaba the Arrow Demon had a grouchy Nezuko sitting on his back, his head pressed down to touch the soil, violating his sense of cleanliness.

As for Susamaru, the Temari Demon was still on her knees, finally regenerating albeit at a snail's pace. Tanjiro's katana was angled against her throat from behind, mildly curious of the negative emotions emanating from the woman's scent.

"I was doing something important! How does playing football correlate with your outrageous statement?!" You raised an incredulous brow at his words. "And how did you even know I was playing? Cover wasn't supposed to let you out of the basement in case you tried something like this!"

Kokushibou's gaze flickered briefly towards Cover who was covering your front, the silent gesture speaking volumes. The offending fabric ruffled its edges in embarrassment, apologising to you in its unique language. Unbothered, he chose to give an explanation as a form of 'consolation' from the spinning trauma you might have suffered from the ordeal.

"I came to an agreement...with the cloak," he began, "that it would let me...out of the basement...as long as I remained hidden." He glanced down towards Yushiro who was trying to listen in from below. "I used one...of my three talismans and...watched everything from the third round...along with the demon girl...until this moment."

You anger slightly subsided, internally elated he'd seen you play and absolutely dominate the totally fair match. "Did you like what you saw?"

He didn't respond to your question, instantly countering with another statement. "Your embarrassing blunder overshadows...your so-called victory. I'd be content more...if the Kamado boy was the one...being tossed around...by that fool."

"Hey!" The offense in the burgundy haired male's tone could not be missed. Deep down, Tanjiro knew he was right. Had you not intervened with the admittedly fun-to-watch game, he would have easily taken your place in suffering the Arrow Demon's wrath.

Yahaba's teeth ground against each other in frustration. However, he couldn't dare open his mouth lest he got killed by Uppermoon One. The Uppermoon One, the most powerful and envied demon in the Twelve Kizuki. Yet here he was, entertaining the humiliation of his kin and holding a human in his arms protectively. Just when had the night gone so horribly?!
