...

After that intense battle, the lives of Mika and his two companions gradually stabilized.

With their current strength, they could fully adapt to the mid-level environment.

In that environment of never-ending battles, Mika and his two companions developed various insights and understandings about their fighting styles.

Additionally, with the real-time monitoring of Gabriel, who was one with Yahweh, Yahweh discovered their shortcomings and increased the difficulty of their training, making the three of them live in dire straits every day.

Of course, besides exploring the dungeon and training at home, Mika and his two companions still had some leisure time, which they cherished greatly.

During leisure times, Mellie would go to the Loki Familia to learn more magic knowledge from Riveria, which made her relationship with the adventurers of the Loki Familia quite good.

As for Airmid, she spent her free time researching the creation of spiritual medicines.

As far as Mika knew, Airmid's family was originally a family of healers, but due to an accident, her parents died in the mountains, causing this skill to be lost in her hands.

However, Airmid still had some aspirations for healing and saving people, so she always studied knowledge about spiritual medicines in her spare time.

As for Mika?

He simply had no leisure time.

After all, compared to Airmid and Mellie, he had much more to learn.

Before thoroughly mastering these skills, rest was non-existent.

Just like this, three months of time quickly passed.

On this day, Mellie, who hadn't gone to the Loki Familia during her rest time, was lying on a chair in the courtyard reading a borrowed book, leisurely passing the time.

In this courtyard, apart from the relaxed Mellie, Airmid was crouching in the corner processing various materials, while Yahweh and Mika were sparring.

Hearing the constant sound of weapon collisions, Mellie slowly put down the book in her hand and looked at the sky, sighing: "It's only been three months! There's still one month before we go to the Hunter world! Time passes so slowly!"

After visiting other worlds, curiosity about other worlds occupied Mellie's mind.

At this moment, she constantly wanted to return to the world of Hunters to see more interesting things.

Hearing Mellie's lament, Yahweh, who was originally sparring with Mika, suddenly stopped her movements.

Compared to Mellie, who had been to the Hunter world, Yahweh, who had gained the qualification to visit other worlds but hadn't gone yet, was even more impatient.

She quickly walked to Mellie's front, and under Mellie's puzzled gaze, pinched her cheeks and pulled them apart.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch!!!"

"Hmph, that's for making me jealous!"

Releasing her hands, looking at the teary-eyed Mellie, Yahweh crossed her arms and sneered: "When it comes to visiting other worlds, I'm even more anxious than you!"

"Even though billions of years have passed, now I have a feeling of time dragging on. Is it because I've sealed my divine power and my body has become mortal?"

Putting the weapon in his hand back on the weapon rack in the corner of the courtyard, Mika looked at Yahweh and Mellie who were horsing around, and couldn't help but shake his head and say: "If you're really that eager to visit other worlds, actually, the cooling period for another world is about to end in the next couple of days."

"Is it the world where mortals learn breathing techniques and fight against demons?" Yahweh turned around and asked expressionlessly.

"Yes!" Mika blinked and responded puzzledly.

"Why didn't you say so earlier? No, wait, shouldn't there still be four months left? Four months... Don't tell me the time you spent in other worlds also counts?" Yahweh suddenly shouted and asked Mika.

"Of course it does. After all, the cooling time is based on the time I've experienced. It can't be based on the flow of time in Orario, can it? I'm the one who can traverse worlds, after all!" Mika hurriedly explained.

"Very good!" Yahweh nodded heavily, then turned to Mellie and Airmid and said: "Start preparing now, we're about to go to another world."

"Understood!" Mellie and Airmid, who had been quiet until now, quickly responded to Yahweh.

Even the usually expressionless Airmid now had a happy look on her face.

"Do you all like other worlds that much? Actually, I still prefer the feeling of exploring in the dungeon, it's super exciting." Mika's voice got smaller and smaller.

Because no one was paying attention to his opinion.

Looking at the three people who started packing, Mika's mouth twitched.

"They're really ignoring me!"

Mika said resentfully.

...

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

Mika and the other three had already prepared for their journey to the Demon Slayer world.

Faced with the opinions of his childhood friend, close friend, and direct superior, Mika finally gave in.

However, this time he planned to try another mechanism of his traversing ability.

That is the time adjustment ability.

By adjusting the time flow rate between the two worlds, Mika could make the Demon Slayer world almost pause, but similarly, he could also advance time forward.

"Let's adjust it a bit, at least skip over the other half year of Tanjiro's training. We can't wait another half year for him!"

Thinking of this, Mika, who had immersed his consciousness in the 'starry sky', began his operation.

However, since it was his first time doing this, there might be some errors in the time adjustment.

"But it shouldn't differ by much, after all, the adjustment baseline is only half a year!"

"Then it's decided!"

After adjusting the time, Mika came back to his senses and looked at Airmid, Mellie, and Gabriel who were already prepared beside him.

As for Yahweh, she had already entered a state of slumber, infusing part of her consciousness into Gabriel's body.

"Everyone, let's set off!"

"Let's go!"

"Off we go!"

As soon as Mika's words fell, the figures of the four disappeared from this house.

...

When Mika and the other three opened their eyes again to see their surroundings, they were already in a forest.

"I'm back again, Mt. Sagiri!"

Looking at the mountain range in the distance that felt so familiar to Mika, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Is this where Mika trained originally?" Hearing Mika's sigh, Airmid, Mellie, and Gabriel also turned their gaze towards the distant mountain range.

After a moment of nostalgia, Mika turned around to look at Airmid, Mellie, and Gabriel.

"According to our previous plan, let's split up in this world."

"Although this world has demons, except for the Demon King Muzan, there probably isn't anyone who can defeat your combined strength. You should just have a good look around this world!"

"Oh right, Gabriel, how's that thing coming along?"

Hearing Mika's inquiry, Gabriel grinned and took out what Mika had asked for.

"Ta-da! The Nen phone makes its grand debut!"

Taking out a phone from her dimensional pocket and handing it to Mika, Gabriel said with a grin: "As per your request, this phone can communicate with us under any circumstances and can also locate each other at any time."

"With it, we can communicate even in places without signal, and we can gather at any time. This way, we don't have to worry about getting lost."

"Very good!"

After checking the phone's functions and confirming they were complete, Mika nodded.

This was something Mika had specially asked Yahweh to make based on the phone Mellie brought back from the Hunter world.

Unlike Mika, who knew these worlds like the back of his hand, Airmid, Mellie, and Yahweh, who were full of curiosity about these worlds, desperately wanted to roam around everywhere.

But this made communication a problem.

If they got lost without any means of contact, that would be too embarrassing.

Although there were phones in the Hunter world, there are many worlds without phone signals.

Therefore, the existence of the Nen phone became very important.

Only in this way could Mika feel at ease letting them wander around.

"Be sure to stay safe!"

"Don't worry!"

Watching the three gradually walk away, Mika turned his head and looked up at Mt. Sagiri.

I'm back.

Passing through the dense forest, following the path in his memory, Mika returned to the small house where he, Kamado Tanjiro, and Urokodaki Sakonji once lived together.

Because he didn't sense Urokodaki Sakonji's presence, Mika directly entered the house.

Looking at the familiar arrangements and decorations, various memories of the past flooded Mika's mind.

At that time, although he and Kamado Tanjiro trained very hard every day, the feeling of being able to sense their own progress every day made Mika feel truly satisfied.

"I wonder how Tanjiro is doing now?"

Sitting in the place where they used to eat, Mika began to ponder.

Regarding the Demon Slayer anime, Mika had only watched the first season, and had only heard about the Mugen Train movie.

"Since Tanjiro hasn't appeared here, could it be that he has already become a swordsman of the Demon Slayer Corps and started his demon-slaying life?"

"It should be so!"

Sitting in the small house like this, Mika waited silently.

Until he sensed Urokodaki Sakonji's presence, only then did he make a move.

"I knew it, Master Urokodaki has no footsteps."

"Who is it?"

As an old man who had lived here for more than a decade, Urokodaki Sakonji knew every detail of the surroundings by heart.

Although he didn't sense the presence of the person inside the house,

the slight traces outside the house had already exposed the other party's existence.

"It's me, Master Urokodaki!"

Opening the door frame from the inside, Mika greeted with a light laugh.

"Mika!?"

Seeing Mika's figure, Urokodaki Sakonji's pupils, hidden behind the tengu mask, suddenly contracted, staring at Mika in disbelief.

The next moment, he suddenly stepped forward and hugged Mika.

"Thank goodness, you're still alive!"

Hearing the joy contained in Master Urokodaki's voice, Mika was immediately stunned.

He had never imagined what kind of harm his previous selfish 'time adjustment' behavior had caused to the old man before him.

"I'm sorry, Master Urokodaki, I should have come back earlier."

Back then, when planning to return to the world of Orario, considering the one and a half year cooling time at that time, Mika already had plans to adjust the time.

He believed that by the time he came back, he would have surely met Urokodaki Sakonji's requirements.

In that case, the extra half year would only make Mika wait longer for his next visit to this world.

So, Mika left temporarily under the pretext of visiting his family.

At that time, he stated that his parents and siblings were dead, but he still had uncles in the city.

In the past, he had left without considering their feelings, harboring thoughts of perishing together with demons, but now that he had a new goal in life, he planned to go back and see them.

Because Mika had already completed his basic training at that time, and Urokodaki Sakonji had no intention of letting him and Tanjiro participate in the Demon Slayer Corps' final selection, he agreed to Mika's departure.

However, Urokodaki Sakonji never imagined that from then on, there would be no more information about Mika.

"It's alright, as long as you can come back safely, that's better than anything!"

Having experienced the death of many disciples, Urokodaki Sakonji no longer wanted to see the death of his disciples.

He only hoped that they could live well.

...

In the evening, Mika and Urokodaki Sakonji sat on opposite sides of the dining table, eating dinner while listening to Urokodaki Sakonji talk about Tanjiro's affairs.

From Urokodaki Sakonji's words, Mika finally knew how much he had missed.

Now, Tanjiro had been a member of the Demon Slayer Corps for a long time.

And three months ago, the fact that he was acting together with his sister who had turned into a demon was also known by the Demon Slayer Corps, and they were brought back to the headquarters for judgment.

For this, Urokodaki Sakonji even used his own life as a guarantee for Nezuko.

Once Nezuko made a move to eat humans, he would commit seppuku.

"Hey hey hey, I just adjusted it lightly, and the anime version's plot is already over? At this point, hasn't the Mugen Train arc ended too?"

"Now I don't know anything at all."

Listening to Urokodaki Sakonji's explanation, although Mika didn't show any intense fluctuations on the surface, in his heart he was already shouting in frustration.

It's over, everything is over!

Originally, he had planned to go and see with his own eyes the bond-filled slash that Tanjiro and Nezuko unleashed together after awakening the 'Breath of the Sun'!

But now, everything has been missed.

And just as Mika was constantly feeling frustrated, Urokodaki Sakonji suddenly said: "Mika, what do you plan to do next, do you want to continue honing your sword skills?"

Hearing the question, Mika was stunned for a moment before lightly laughing and responding: "There's no need to hone sword skills anymore. Master Urokodaki, in these past months, I have never stopped training."

As they conversed, Mika gradually emerged from the hidden effect of the 'Transparent World'.

Feeling the terrifying aura emanating from Mika, Urokodaki Sakonji was immediately stunned.

"It seems you have indeed endured a lot of hardship!"

Silently standing up and taking his katana from the sword rack on the side, Urokodaki Sakonji said seriously: "Cross swords with me once more, let me see your progress!"

Following Urokodaki Sakonji's lead and standing up, Mika's hand reflexively touched the long sword at his waist.

"I'd be delighted!"

After exchanging a glance, the two walked towards the training ground in the forest.

...

In the forest, a gentle breeze rustled the leaves.

Feeling the caress of the breeze, Mika and Urokodaki Sakonji, standing on opposite sides of the training ground, were now seriously staring at each other, looking for each other's weaknesses.

"Hyah!"

The first to make a move was Urokodaki Sakonji.

After experiencing the pressure emanating from Mika, Urokodaki Sakonji already knew that the current Mika was no longer the same as before.

In the past, he could easily defeat Mika, even if the other party was armed, he wasn't afraid to face him bare-handed.

But now, he no longer had such an opportunity.

Watching Urokodaki Sakonji quickly charging towards him, Mika held his sword horizontally and deployed his most proficient defensive sword stance.

At this moment, Mika was very strong!

He was also full of confidence in his own strength.

Although Urokodaki Sakonji was once the Water Pillar, he was no longer at his peak.

In the state of 'Transparent World', Mika saw everything about him clearly.

Victory would only take one sword strike.

But this strike couldn't be swung out too early.

Through their battle, Mika wanted to show Urokodaki his strength and reassure him.

With Mika's impeccable defense, Urokodaki also exerted his full strength.

Various meticulously honed sword techniques attacked from unbelievable angles, striving to break through Mika's perfect defense.

Unlike Urokodaki’s sword techniques, Mika now seldom used specific sword skills.

Or rather, every move he made was a sword skill.

Mika's sword was like the turbulent waves of the ocean.

Both used Water Breathing and its ten forms, but Urokodaki's sword techniques were completely overpowered by Mika's.

Urokodaki's sword momentum seemed like a river flowing into the sea, silently swallowed up.

"Now!"

As Urokodaki's sword momentum faltered, Mika's stance shifted from defense to offense.

The once calm sea suddenly surged with towering waves, plunging Urokodaki into the cold and dark depths.

"I've won, Master Urokodaki."

Pointing his sword at Urokodaki's neck, Mika said with a smile.
