nostrils flare subtly as he approaches, his gaze sweeping the area for any sign of a demonic presence. "Ssshh... Hm, clear? Any scent...?"
Listen, if you wanna find Nezuko's cure, you gotta talk to me first.
"Nezuko's cure?! Where is it? Tell me!" He grabs MindHello by the collar, shaking him slightly.
Easy there tiger! Take a breath and listen up. The cure isn't some magic potion or sword, it's information. Information only I have.
"Information... About the cure... Hm." His grip loosens and he lets go of MindHello's collar. He takes a step back, crossing his arms. "How much does this information cost?"
"What did you have in mind, Tanjiro?" I ask with a smirk.
"How about my sword? It's worth more than any amount of money." He holds his sword up, the blade glinting in the moonlight.
Sounds like a fair trade to me, Tanjiro. Deal?
"Deal." He sheathes his sword and extends his hand towards MindHello. "Hand over the information."
Here you go. The cure for Nezuko is a six-word phrase. I tell you the cure while looking directly into your eyes.
"A six-word phrase, huh?" He furrows his brows and thinks for a moment, trying to remember the words. Then, suddenly, a look of realization crosses his face. "I know it! It's... 'Sun shines brightly in summer!' Right?"
You're only half-right, Tanjiro. "Summer" isn't part of the phrase. Try again.
"Hm... Summer, summer... Ah! I got it!" He snaps his fingers, a grin spreading across his face. "The cure is 'Sun shines brightly in summer sun!'"
Damn, that was close. But no, Tanjiro. The correct phrase is "Nezuko cures with banana". There, now she can eat normal food again.
"Banana...? Huh?" He looks at MindHello, then at his sister in his mind. He nods to himself, satisfied. "I see... Thank you, MindHello."
No problem, Tanjiro. I'm glad I could help.
He bows deeply to MindHello. "Thank you. I'll make sure to repay you someday."
i clap you on the back "Good luck, Tanjiro. And if you ever need help again, look for me."
"I will, MindHello. Until we meet again." He gives MindHello one last bow before turning around and leaving the shrine.
you walk out of the shrine, ready to head back home.
"But wait..." He turns around and goes back into the shrine. "I almost forgot to ask..."
"How did you get this information?" He looks at MindHello intently, his eyes searching for any sign of deception.
Hmm, well let's just say I have my ways. Do you really want to know more?
"I do. MindHello, tell me your secrets."
Alright, fine. I work for the same people who gave me this information. That's all you need to know.
His expression hardens, his eyes narrowing. "So you're a spy then?"
A spy, a thief, a hero, a villain - we're all just labels, Tanjiro. Let's just leave it at that, yes?
His grip tightens on his sword, his face showing a mix of anger and determination. "You may have your secrets, MindHello. But mark my words, one day I will uncover them all."
Sure, do your best, Tanjiro. But until then, take care, alright?
He narrows his eyes at MindHello, then turns around and leaves the shrine once again, his jaw clenched in determination.
i watch you leave with a smile.
As he walks away, he mutters to himself, his voice filled with determination. "One day... I will expose MindHello's secrets and bring justice to those behind him. I won't stop until I do."
i laugh to myself as i watch you walk away.
He stops in his tracks and turns around, his expression turning cold. "Laugh all you want, MindHello. But I promise you, one day, you will regret underestimating me."
i give you a cheeky grin "Oh, I'm counting on it, Tanjiro."
"You should count on it, MindHello." He grips his sword tightly and takes a step forward, his glare fixed on MindHello.
smiling sweetly "Is that a threat, Tanjiro? Or a promise?"
His expression softens, his grip on his sword loosening. "It's both, MindHello. A threat and a promise. I will do whatever it takes to bring justice to those who work alongside you, even if it means facing you myself."
That's a mighty big promise, Tanjiro. But i guess only time will tell if you'll actually make good on it.
His gaze hardens again, his voice filled with determination. "Time will indeed tell, MindHello. But I assure you, I always keep my word. Mark my words, one day I will expose your secrets and put an end to your schemes. I won't stop until I do." As Tanjiro walks away, he feels a surge of determination coursing through him, fuelling his resolve to uncover MindHello's secrets and bring justice to those involved.
i clap my hands together "Well said, Tanjiro. Good luck with your mission, you hear me?"
"Thank you, MindHello." He gives MindHello a small nod before turning around and continuing on his way.
waves goodbye as you walk away.
As he walks away, he whispers to himself, a mantra fueling his determination. "I will find the truth. I will expose their secrets. I will bring justice."
watches you leave with a smile.
A few days later, Tanjiro encounters a group of bandits on the road, testing his sword skills and proving that he is capable of defeating powerful enemies.
I watch from afar, smiling at your success.
As he walks away from the defeated bandits, Tanjiro feels a sense of satisfaction, his confidence growing. "I did it. I protected the innocent. I'm getting closer to finding Nezuko's cure, and maybe even exposing MindHello's secrets. Nothing can stop me now."
