The main story is complete, so please enjoy! Coming next: The Head Pillar Wants to Be Exorcised Today, Too Preview: Before the Kyoto Sister-School Goodwill Event, Gojo Satoru was diligently teaching his students when he suddenly received a message. A special-grade cursed spirit had appeared in a long-abandoned district. He hurried to the scene with his student, whose training was only half-finished. When they arrived, both of them were stunned. The so-called special-grade cursed spirit standing before them was no terrifying monster. It was a boy no older than fifteen. And this "cursed spirit" was trying to decapitate himself, tears streaming down his face. Gojo Satoru: ... Gojo Satoru: Have cursed spirits really gotten this cooperative? * After waking up, Kamado Tanjiro, who hadn't died in the battle at the Infinity Castle, was too shocked by the fact that he'd become a demon to even speak. He hadn't yet realized that he'd been transported to a completely different world. The boy, who hated demons more than anything, immediately tried to kill himself, only to be interrupted by two men who dropped out of the sky and called themselves jujutsu sorcerers. One of them, a white-haired man, even said he wanted to take him to some place called Jujutsu High? Tanjiro: Thanks, but no. Please let me turn to ash in the sunlight. But the newly reborn Demon King, now immune to sunlight, discovered that no matter what he tried, he couldn't hurt himself in the slightest. So a certain white-haired jujutsu sorcerer came up with a great idea. Gojo Satoru: How about this? You go to school, and we'll figure out how to exorcise you. Kamado Tanjiro: Deal! Story description: During the decisive battle in the Infinity Castle, Tanjiro thought he was going to die after being swallowed whole by Muzan. But when he opened his eyes in the darkness once more, what appeared before him wasn't a road leading to heaven, but bustling streets and alleys. He was no longer wearing his Demon Slayer uniform, but an elaborate, luxurious kimono, and his wounds had healed without him knowing when. Before he could recover from his shock, Tanjiro was told that he was in the Heian period, a thousand years in the past. Even more unbelievably, he had somehow become a fire god, worshipped by people and bringing warmth and hope to humanity. Tanjiro: ... Tanjiro: Well, at least I didn't become a demon. That's something to be grateful for. The ill-fated boy began stumbling through the process of learning how to be a good god. On the first day, he gave a poor family hope for a better life. On the second, he drove away the illness afflicting a young girl. On the third... As he worked hard to be a good god, he gradually met many interesting companions, such as the elusive Nurarihyon and the naive young god of calamity... One day, at the Fire God Festival, he heard a woman's prayer. She hoped the Fire God would protect her sick child and let him grow up in peace. The kindhearted Fire God appeared before the child, who was confined to his home by illness and unable to go outside. The bright flames seemed to dispel the heavy darkness that had lingered in the house for years. Their light also left a deep impression in the child's heart. But as he spent time with the child and watched his features grow increasingly familiar, Tanjiro's sense that something was wrong became more and more pronounced. Tanjiro: Why does that face look so familiar? So when Tanjiro found himself backed into a corner by a black-haired man with blood-red eyes, he gritted his teeth and asked, "Muzan?" Could he still go back in time and strangle him? The black-haired man smiled faintly. His cold breath brushed the divine being's neck as he spoke in a low voice. "Too late." Tips: ★ The timeline runs from the Heian period to the Taisho period. ★ The pairing is Kibutsuji x Tanjiro. This Muzan is not the Muzan from the original work, and Tanjiro will join the Demon Slayer Corps later. ★ Nezuko is gender-swapped to a boy. The whole family will be safe and sound! Theme: Reach out to someone whose childhood was shrouded in darkness, and help them move beyond their painful memories.
