"Mero when proteg someone!"— Metal Bat, One Punch Man

  <><><><><><>

  The other Hashira, not yet familiar with Roy, their new leader, remained silent.

  Except for Sanemi Shinazugawa, the Wind Hashira.

  "Hey! You, Roy, is it?!" Sanemi shouted, pointing at Roy with a rude gesture.

  "What makes you think you just waltz in and bee the leader of the Demon Syer Corps?!"

  Despite his notoriously aggressive, bloodthirsty, and votile nature, Sanemi held deep respect faya Ubuyashiki.

  Therefore, he naturally harbored animosity towards Roy, who had seemingly usurped Kagaya's position.

  "Your name is Sanemi Shinazugawa, correct?" Roy asked calmly, unfazed by Sanemi's outburst.

  "That's right. I'm the Wind Hashira, Sanemi Shinazugawa!"

  "Are you curious why I've bee the leader of the Demon Syer Corps?" Roy asked, then turo Saeko. "Saeko, take him aside and teach him a lesson."

  "With pleasure," Saeko replied with a sly smile.

  "Shinazugalease follow me." Saeko gestured with a pyful smirk.

  "What? You want to fight? I'm always up for a brawl!" Sanemi's bloodlust surged. He never backed down from a fight.

  They moved to an open area outside the Butterfly Mansion, followed by Roy and the others.

  "Shinazugalease," Saeko said with a bow.

  "Hmph! You first," Sanemi scoffed, crossing his arms.

  "Very well. Then please be careful, Shinazugawa-san." Sanemi's dismissive attitude angered Saeko.

  She drew her sword and vanished in an instant.

  Sanemi blinked, surprised by her sudden disappearance.

  He looked around but couldn't find her.

  Then, he felt a cold bde pressed against his neck from behind.

  Sanemi froze, cold sweat trig down his back.

  "My, my, Shinazugawa-san, you're quite careless, aren't you?" Saeko chuckled from behind him.

  "Perhaps you weren't prepared," she added pyfully, retrag her sword aurning to her inal position. "This time, Shinazugawa-san, you may attack first."

  The other Hashira khat Sanemi was no match for Saeko.

  However, they weren't fond of his aggressive and bloodthirsty nature, so none of them spoke up in his defense.

  Saeko's words enraged Sanemi, his eyes bloodshot.

  As a proud and fierce warrior, he couldn't accept defeat.

  "Hmph!" Sanemi grunted, as if to warn Saeko of his ining attack.

  He charged towards her, wielding a Nichirin Bde in each hand.

  Saeko simply chuckled at his straightforward assault.

  With a few casual sidesteps, she effortlessly evaded his attacks.

  Sanemi's attacks were far too dired predictable.

  After his first attack missed, he swung his other sword.

  Saeko dodged again with ease.

  Sanemi's two swords whirled around him like a whirlwind, but Saeko effortlessly evaded every blow, occasionally pg her bde against his neck without striking.

  This tactic, though not physically harmful, was incredibly humiliating.

  Sanemi, due to his love for battle, was covered in scars.

  He wasn't afraid of being cut, but being uo nd a hit and stantly taunted was unbearable.

  "Stop dodging, coward!" Sanemi roared as he tinued his assault.

  g!

  A crisp sound echoed through the air.

  Sanemi's Nichirin Bde had been sliced in two.

  Saeko's sword was once again at his neck, a thin line of blood trig down.

  Sanemi, however, ighe blood and stared at his broken sword in disbelief.

  "I lost..." he muttered, really defeated.

  Saeko chuckled softly auro Roy's side.

  With the troublemaker dealt with, Roy addressed the other Hashira. "Prepare yourselves. We depart for Asakusa in one hour."

  "Yes, Roy-sama!" the Hashira replied and dispersed to make their preparations.

  An hour ter, Roy set off with the Hashira and over a hundred Demon Syers.

  By the time they arrived in Asakusa, night had fallen.

  "Roy-nii-san, will Muzan Kibutsuji really appear here?" Tanjiro asked excitedly.

  Roy had informed Tanjiro beforehand, so he was already waiting for them in Asakusa.

  To find Muzan Kibutsuji in the bustling city, they anjiro's keen sense of smell.

  "Yes, Tanjiro. We're ting on you."

  "Yes!" Tanjiro was thrilled to be entrusted with su important task.

  "Hashira, stay behind us. Do not ehout my orders," Roy instructed. "The rest of you, remove your Demon Syer uniforms and blend in with the crowd. If you find Muzan Kibutsuji, evacuate the civilians immediately."

  Roy assigheir tasks, theered the bustling streets of Asakusa with Tanjiro.

  The girls apanying them wore beautiful kimonos over their Demon Syer uniforms, ready for battle if needed.

  They strolled through the streets, searg for Muzan Kibutsuji, blending in with the crowd like ordinary people enjoying a night out.

  Of course, to Roy, it wasn't much different from an evening stroll.

  "Excuse me, could we have some dango?" Roy stopped at a food stall with the girls.

  "ing right up!" the vendor replied, quickly preparing several skewers of dango.

  Roy took the skewers and hahem to the eager girls behind him, Makomo and Nezuko among them.
