Sailing at Sea: The Breath of the Day at the Start

"Could this be...?"

He gradually became wary.

"Did you notice?"

Upon hearing this, Tanjiro looked up at Ron, who was sitting opposite them with a smile on his face, resting his chin on his hand.

Tanjiro asked him seriously, "Mr. Ron, do you know something?"

"You were all struck by the demon's Blood Demon Technique and sank into the dream world..."

Ron began to speak, but before he could finish, he was already finished.

A young girl, wielding a short dagger, gritted her teeth and thrust it at Tanjiro.

Tanjiro narrowed his eyes and grabbed her wrist.

Take a closer look.

It's a human, not a ghost.

"Why can't we escape from our dreams?! Why can't we just go back to sleep? We want to have sweet dreams too!"

The girl, tears streaming down her face, shouted at Tanjiro.

Tanji's face was filled with astonishment and surprise.

Zenitsu couldn't help but scratch his head and say, "I don't understand what you're saying at all."

Several other teenagers also approached with weapons in hand, looking nervous and uneasy.

"Why are they attacking us? Are these guys our enemies?"

Inosuke frowned.

No, I don't know either.

Tanjiro was also completely bewildered.

Ron took a sip of tea and said slowly, "They were lured by Nightmare, the Lower Moon One, with a beautiful dream, which is why they are attacking you, no, us."

"Lower Moon One?!"

Sun-il's voice suddenly rose in pitch.

Tanjiro was also taken aback.

"We must complete the mission!"

Several boys and girls rushed towards them, but Tanjiro didn't hesitate for a moment and knocked them all unconscious.

"I smell it, the scent of that demon... Mr. Ron, I'm entrusting these people to your protection. Zenitsu, Inosuke, let's go!"

As Tanjiro spoke, he drew his Nichirin Blade from his waist and ran off in one direction.

"Don't order me!"

Inosuke shouted and drew his twin swords, then followed him.

"Huh?! I have to go too?!"

Zenitsu was reluctant, but he followed anyway.

After the three people left the carriage.

With a bamboo tube in her mouth, Nezuko, now shrunken, crawled out of the box, looked around, and seemed somewhat bewildered.

Ron smiled and held out his hand to him: "This way."

Nezuko saw him, her eyes brightened slightly, and then she climbed onto the seat next to him, put her head on his lap, and enjoyed his head patting.

Ron glanced at the effects of the Perfect Human Transformation Potion in his system inventory.

After being injected with this medicine, any demon can completely turn back into a human within three days, even the Demon King Muzan Kibutsuji is no exception.

If we use this medicine on Nezuko now, she can turn back into a human from a demon...

"I've accumulated enough check-in points to go to the next world. I should probably leave this world as soon as possible..."

Ron stroked her head as he pondered to himself.

I didn't know how to leave this world before, so I wanted to find something to do.

Now that he has found a way to leave this world and met the necessary conditions, Ron has no intention of lingering any longer.

He plans to speed things up.

…………

Tanjiro and the other two climbed onto the roof of the carriage and saw Enmu kneeling on the ground, his body constantly writhing and changing.

"This guy is Lower Moon One..."

Tanjiro gripped his Nichirin Blade tightly, not daring to be careless in the slightest.

"Tanjiro, this guy seems a bit strange."

Inosuke said doubtfully.

Tanjiro stared intently.

The writhing, deformed nightmare knelt on the ground, its hands gripping its face tightly, its pupils contracting continuously, its face filled with terror, and the dozen or so mouths that grew from its body emitted terrifying sounds.

"Impossible, impossible, impossible, impossible..."

"Oh my god!! How scary!!"

Zenitsu was so frightened that he shrank behind the two of them.

Tanjiro didn't know what had happened, but he knew what he had to do.

Breathing of water, the tenth form.

Life is in constant flux!

His figure moved like a water dragon, carrying the flow of water as he slashed towards Nightmare.

With a single blow, his head was severed!

But its body did not disappear because its head was severed.

Instead, Tanjiro's sword strike helped it crawl out of the abyss of fear and regain a sliver of its sanity.

"He's not dead?!"

Under the shocked and horrified gazes of the three.

Numerous disgusting chunks of flesh grew from beneath Nightmare's head, making it appear as if it had no bones.

To the astonishment of the three, Nightmare revealed the secret of the Infinite Train.

"Hoo hoo hoo, that's a good expression. To thank you for waking me from the abyss of fear, I'll tell you why I can't die even after my head is cut off?"

"The reason is obvious, because... that is no longer my original body. This is just maintaining the shape of a head, not the real head."

"My true self... has long since become one with this Infinite Train... This train is my blood, my flesh, and my bones."

"!!"

Tanjiro and his two companions were horrified.

"So... does that mean everyone in this car is in danger?!"

Zenitsu was panicked and his voice trembled as he spoke.

"That's right. Everyone in this car is my bait, and also... hostages." The Nightmare's head looked at the three of them, a twisted smile on its face: "Can you protect them?"

"asshole!"

Tanjiro gritted his teeth and stared intently at it.

at the same time.

Throughout all eight carriages of the Infinite Train, numerous writhing chunks of flesh appeared, gradually sprouting sharp teeth, like the gaping maws of monsters, opening towards the unconscious and sleeping passengers in their seats.

In the carriage where Ron and Nezuko were, many disgusting and bizarre chunks of flesh appeared, writhing and changing on the walls, ceiling, and floor, reaching out strangely shaped ghostly hands towards the people in their seats.

38, The Frozen Train, Upper Moon Three

Although Nezuko didn't understand what had happened, the scent emanating from those chunks of meat still made her reveal a hint of demonic ferocity.

Several ghostly hands reached out to grab the unconscious people in their seats.

She remembered Tanjiro's words earlier, telling her to protect humanity. Just as she was about to attack the demon hands, Ron reached out and stopped her.

"Let me do it."

Nezuko looked at him.

Ron raised his finger, and a dazzling ice-blue light emanated from his fingertip. A ripple of ice-blue light spread from his fingertip, instantly sweeping across the entire speeding train.

Inside the eight carriages, the disgusting chunks of flesh that were about to attack the passengers stopped abruptly and were then frozen solid at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Extreme cold air rushed to the roof of the car.

Under the astonished and stunned gazes of Tanjiro and the other two.
