Tanjirou panted heavily as he woke up from his nightmare. Being trapped by swarm of bats wasn't a good dream for him. He slowly wiped his forehead as his eyes looked at his alarm clock. 10 minutes left before 6AM.
Beep!
Tanjirou just received a message from someone via his smartphone. When he checked the message, it was from Kanao.
"Tanjirou, did you dreamed the same thing too?"
Tanjirou replied the message with a Times New Roman 'YES' sticker.
When Tanjirou thought again, he felt like there's some kind of unseen entity tried to stop Kanao and him, but he don't know who. Was is it from Hypnos himself? or maybe there's another supernatural being exists in there?
Tanjirou suddenly felt thirsty. Perhaps he should go to the kitchen to get a glass of fresh milk.
He then put his smartphone back on the bedside table before walked away from his bed, heading towards the door.
Meanwhile, on the rooftop of the Kamado residence, a mysterious magical jellyfish with bluish white glow appeared from nowhere. It was unknown if the jellyfish came from the Realm of Hypnos, or if it's actually a spirit. But it's appearance probably had something to do with Tanjirou. And to the lesser extent, Sumihiko.
...
"Tanjirou, are you sure?" Kanao raised her eyebrows.
Tanjirou and Kanao almost reached the school gate. Some students had already entered the school compound.
"I don't know if it's true or not, but I can feel it" Tanjirou replied.
"What's it?" Kanao asked.
"Well, there's an unseen entity who watched us from far" Tanjirou speculated.
"An unseen entity?" Kanao was curious.
Unbeknownst to them, a depressed danger waited silently for the Kamado. His eyes steadily focused on Tanjirou's precious earrings.
Giyuu Tomioka, the most feared teacher in Kimetsu Academy. He expects every students to follow the school rules, and those who broke it will be punished by him.
"Tanjirou Kamado"
Tanjirou's body was shaking in fear as he heard that voice. When he turned his face, he saw the gym teacher stood not far from him, armed with a shinai.
"To-tomioka-sensei, today's weather is very nice, is it?" Tanjirou tried to act normal.
Giyuu just silent for a few seconds.
"Wearing school earrings is against the school rules, Kamado" Giyuu reprimanded.
Kanao soon thinked about a nice way to help her boyfriend escaped from Tomioka-sensei. And she just got an idea after she stared at her teacher's sneaker shoes.
"Tomioka-sensei, you forgot to tie your shoe lace" Kanao pointed her index finger towards his sneaker shoes.
"What?"
Giyuu quickly checked his shoe lace, but it was already tied. Oh no, Giyuu just got tricked. And much to his anger, the lovebirds already ran away towards the main building.
"Kamado! Tsuyuri! Don't run!" Giyuu quickly chased them.
Luckily Tanjirou and Kanao successfully escaped from Tomioka-sensei.
...
"That strange guy tried to kill me last night!" the bald man said frantically.
The police officers briefly exchanged looks. Inside the police station, the bald man gave the information to the police officers about an incident last night.
"Okay, so how does...the guy looks like?" Police Officer 1 asked.
"What had I remember was he wore a black suit with a black fedora hat, and he carried a black briefcase with him!" the bald man explained. "And not just that! He even can float in the air! Just like a sorcerer!"
The police officers went silent for a few seconds.
"A man with with a briefcase who can float in the air like a sorcerer? Are you kidding me?" Police Officer 2 narrowed his eyes.
"Trust me, I'm not lying! I saw it with my own eyes!" the bald man insisted.
Police Officer 2 took a sip of mineral water as he just listened to the bald man's words.
"That guy must be some kind of a hostile alien in disguise who looks for his prey! I want the authorities to do something about it!" the bald man said.
"Alright, mister. Let us investigate about this guy first" Police Officer 1 assured. "We'll inform you after we received additional information"
With a distraught expression, the bald man finally went silent.
Perhaps it seemed to be illogical for them. But still, an another case needed to be solved. There's no time to sit quietly and do nothing.
To be continued...
