It was a dark and dreary night out. You, Shinobu Kocho, and your colleague, Giyu Tomioka, are on a mission to investigate the presence of a so-called strong demon. This demon is located on a large mountain — Mt. Kirikaze.

You two are walking, with the water pillar walking ahead of you by just a few steps. You two continued to walk in the dark forest. It was quiet, the only sound being the footsteps the both of you took on the trail's ground.

He wasn't talking, as usual. You walked a bit faster, now matching your colleague's pace.
