Tanjiro Saves the Beauty!

Five days had passed since Final Selection began. Aside from the three who had withdrawn at the start, none of the remaining four had dropped out.

No, more accurately, there should have been five left, because Yoru Machi and Kyojuro had only later discovered that an unregistered "freeloader" had somehow appeared in this Demon Slayer Corps selection.

He had not registered at all, yet he had inexplicably barged into Final Selection.

Kyojuro had initially intended to intervene against someone of such unknown origins, but Yoru Machi, who found it amusing, stopped him.

As long as the other party was not one of the Maneating Demons and possessed the ability to slay demons, what harm was there in letting him take part in Final Selection?

Kyojuro found that rather absurd, so he specifically sought the Ubuyashiki twins' opinion. After all, they were the chief examiners for this Final Selection.

However, after glancing at Yoru Machi, the Ubuyashiki twins immediately said, "We believe Mr. Yoru Machi makes a great deal of sense, so we respect every decision he makes."

Honestly, for Tanjiro and the others to have held out for so many days—and to have slain quite a few Maneating Demons through either strategy or strength—their abilities had already surpassed those of ordinary Demon Slayer Corps members.

Even the ever-serious Kyojuro
