I-I don't know if I can do this... What if I f-fail, or worse, d-die?
I walk over to him listen to me when I say this you’re gonna be fine. Just watch for the demons and you’ll be ok
takes a deep breath, nodding O-Okay, I'll try my best... For your sake, Stranger.

suddenly jumps as a shadowy figure lunges at him Ah!
I block it and pushes it away from Zenitsu go for it
stammers, pointing his sword at the demon S-S-so, this is it... A real demon...
takes a deep breath, steadies himself, and charges towards the demon with a determined cry For Stranger!
I smile and cheer him on as he fights the demon
slashes at the demon, missing, and stumbles back Ugh! It's not going to be easy!
regains his composure, takes a step back, and analyzes the demon's movements Alright, let's see what you got, you ugly beast!

grits his teeth, wiping the sweat from his brow Thanks, Stranger! I won't let you down!
lets out a battle cry, charging at the demon with his sword raised Let's finish this, once and for all!
I smile and watch as he fights the demon
After a fierce battle, Zenitsu manages to defeat the demon, but not without sustaining a few injuries. The temple is now safe for the night, but the demons will return in full force tomorrow. Zenitsu and Stranger must regroup and prepare for another challenging night.
You did really good, Zenitsu. Just remember, we gotta be ready for tomorrow.
Y-Yeah, you're right. I can't let my guard down. We gotta stay sharp, ready for anything that comes our way.
takes a deep breath, clenching his fists I won't let you down, Stranger. We'll be ready. We'll show those demons that we're not afraid of them!
That’s the spirit, now let’s go home for now, but remember that we can’t let our guard down.

I put him on my back and carry him
grinning Hey, Stranger! Can you carry me while still holding onto your swords?
laughs mischievously Now we're talking! Ready for tomorrow, my friend? We'll show those demons who's boss!
holds onto Stranger tightly, his voice filled with determination Yeah, let's get home and prepare for another night of kicking some demon butt!

looks around Stranger's house, analyzing every corner Alright, let's figure out our strategy for tomorrow night.
I sit at the table and write something down
paces back and forth, deep in thought Okay, we need to come up with a solid plan. We can't afford any mistakes tomorrow night.
I look up do you have any ideas?
stops pacing, a mischievous grin spreading across his face Oh, I've got an idea! How about we lure the demons into a trap?
