BEFORE YOU START THIS NOVEL:

There are some points that you all need to remember:

1) About our MC: The main character is none other than our Tanjiro...

2) About Nezuko, hmm... Yes, she will be Tanjiro's twin sister [Haha, it's only because... I wanted this way]. No? Well, whatever. I will do the incest between the twins and... you know what, Nezuko is a bro-con and on top of that a yandere... Hmm? Well, ahem, So, yeah be ready.

3) About hashiras (female ones), hmm... Well, they also are going to be part of his harem... About others, I will just make them all... - (except, the man Tengen Uzui).

Umm, if any of you have any questions, please ask... [NOTE: I AM NOT CHANGING THE HAREM... ]

*sigh*

I released a sigh of relief as I filled the basket with charcoal, which seemed more than enough for today.

Today is not the day for selling these charcoals, but since a new year is approaching, I should try to earn enough money so that we can eat the food to our heart's content.

"Tanjiro?"

I turned my face to see my mother standing at the entrance of the house, wearing her usual clothes. She is wearing a purple and cream checkered kimono with a white and long-sleeved kappōgi over the top, also sporting a white tenugui cloth around her head, covering most of her hair.

"Your face is all covered in soot. Come over here."

She said this and started walking towards me.

Oh, right, I forgot to clean my face.

Then she lowers her body to clean my face with the corners of the sleeves of the white kappōgi she is wearing.

She had to lower to touch my face because my mother's height is slightly higher than mine because she is older than me; I am just a 15-year-old boy.

"It might get dangerous if it starts snowing. It's fine for you to just stay home."

My mother said this as she continued wiping the soot from my face. Her hands are somewhat rough; it's only because my mother sometimes helps me when she gets some spare time to make the charcoal with me, and the other reason is that she has to cook food for us daily, well the latter is inevitable because even though I know how to cook but my mother denies taking any help from me. So -I will train myself to become strong enough so my mother can rest well. I definitely will.

"Well, I want everyone to eat their fill on New Year's, so I am going to sell as much charcoal as I can."

I said this and noticed my mother was slightly smiling while looking at me. She finished wiping my face as she moved her hand away from my face.

"Thank you..."

As she said this and was going to get up from the ground, one of my brothers and one of my sisters came and stood near my mother.

"Nii-chan, you are going to town again today?"

"I am coming with you!"

The first one to open his mouth was none other than my fourth sibling and second brother, Kamado Shigeru. The other was my third sibling and second sister, Kamado Hanako. They are both the cutest and sweetest siblings anyone could ask for. Well, all my siblings are cute.

In total, we are six siblings. I am the oldest one; then comes Nezuko, Takeo, Hanako, Shigeru, and lastly, Rokuta. I love all of them. I will do whatever it takes to continue seeing them smile like this.

"Oh no, you are not. You know you cannot walk as fast as Tanjiro."

Hmm? Oh, as Mother finally stood up, another brother came into my view, Takeo. He is holding an axe on one of his shoulders and has a surprised expression on his face. Hmm? Why?

"But mom!"

"No, buts. He would not be able to give you a ride if you are tired since he cannot use the cart today."

It's true. I cannot use the cart today because of the rise in snowfall; this rise is very high, as my mother told us yesterday. So, I might not be able to control the cart today, so I am using the basket today.

"Nii-chan..."

As I was lost in my thoughts, Shigeru came running towards me and hugged me tightly. I was not surprised, though, because it had happened many times in the past.

"I want to come with you."

Then Hanako said this while she pouted lightly.

"I promise. I will help you."

"Thanks, Hanako..."

I said this while I started patting her head. She looked somewhat happy as she smiled brightly.

"But you are staying home today."

'Oh, don't cry, Shigeru.'

I thought in my mind as I saw the crying face of my brother, the face he is making right now is the face I dislike the most. I do not want any of my family members to be sad or anything like that.

"You too, Shigeru."

...

...

"N-no, n-no, n-no, n-no, w-w-way... H-how? W-why?"

I muttered to myself as soon as I came back to my home. In front of me, I am seeing the dead bodies of my family members, scattered all over the place, including the inside of the house. The blood was all over the walls, on the ground, and on the bodies of my siblings. The conditions were very critical as I touched the bodies, and I sensed that there was no breathing or movement there.

I can't believe what my eyes are seeing right now. I was going to puke, but my eyes again noticed an unbelievable sight -

Nezuko raised her body and is trying to move her body toward me. Her eyes are abnormal, and so are her movements, but she is breathing. Yes, she is breathing, even though it's not her normal breathing. But I am a little happy that she is alive, so I ran towards her. And then...

"Grgrgrrrgrrr"

I heard her voice and finally noticed her face because, until now, she was looking down all the time, so I did not notice. But what I saw is:

Her eyes are glaring at me—no, her whole face—and the expression she is showing is nothing but a purely angry one—yes, a very intense one. Her facial veins are in full view; she is gritting her teeth, and from her head, there looks to be a good amount of blood dripping down her beautiful face.

Her whole body also seems to gain some muscles, as her hand's veins are popping out from their position, which makes her look scary, but I can't be terrified at this moment.

'Think, Tanjirou. Think.'

I have to find some way to bring her back, but how? I am not that strong, and I don't have sufficient knowledge about how to treat her. And more importantly, I don't even know what happened with her and my family, what this disease is, and if she has not any disease, then why she is behaving like this.

As I was idly standing on the ground, having some distance between both of us, while breathing heavily, because I walked here on my feet as well as the sight of what I am seeing currently, Nezuko started to run towards me.

"N-N-Nezuko..."

I couldn't help but stutter while calling her name. I am crying. I don't know when I started, but I think I have been since the moment I came here and saw all this.

"Grgrgrrgrggrgr"

She continued growling like an animal while coming towards me. I just stood there, looking at my 'twin' sister running toward me with the intent of killing me... hmm?. I don't know, but I think she is angry. But why?

"Grrrr-"

She finally reached out to me, and I saw some tears in her eyes as she continued to growl. I don't know why, but I raised my hand and started to pat her head.

I continued doing so until she punched me in the gut.

"Ouch -"

When I felt her punch, I felt pain, sadness, anger, misery, regret, and finally the disgrace of being such a weak brother and son.

I am still in the air, thinking about my weak self and how disgraceful I am. If only I hadn't rested in that house, I might have Tsk. What's the point of thinking about the past? The present is already here, and I -

.

As I continued my flight in the air, I again looked at my abnormal sister, who was showing two expressions: one, she seems to be hungry as her saliva continues to run down from her mouth; the other, she seems to be somewhat worried and asking for forgiveness from me.

Hungry? Why does she look hungry? Has she not eaten anything yet? Or -D-Demon? I heard something from the man who lives in that house, where I spent my last night. He did tell me something about man-eating demons that eats human flesh.

Did Nezuko become a demon, one of the beings who eat humans and drink their blood? My Nezuko? No, it can't be.

"Nezukooo -"

I yelled in a loud voice, which echoed in the mountains. And Nezuko seemed to show a reaction as she started to walk in my direction. And just as I was about to touch the ground, Nezuko kicked me in the face.

It hurts. It hurts very much to the point where I can't even shout in pain, and it looks like my consciousness is also fading out as I continue being in the air.

'I WILL DEFINITELY SAVE NEZUKO FROM WHATEVER DISEASE SHE HAS, OR IF SHE HAS TURNED INTO A MAN-EATING DEMON, THEN I WILL TURN HER BACK INTO A HUMAN... YES, I WILL.'

I decided this in my brain as I slowly fell to the ground and passed out.

..

...

Hmm.

The surrounding area has changed massively. There is no icy wind blowing around me; the atmosphere has nothing. There is nothing, not a single thing, just a black void, and I see only black everywhere my eyes wander and stop.

Even though I am trying my best to see something that proves that I am alive because, as time passes, I am thinking to myself that I am also dead, I am going where my family is, except Nezuko.

Wait, I didn't see my mother either; where was she? Maybe she is alive.

Well, I have to find her and somehow help Nezuko turn back to normal as soon as I escape this scary place. But how?

I am trying to move my body, and I can feel that I am running, but still, I can't seem to find the exit or see any light or anything that might help me.

"Where AM I?"

I shouted so loudly that it echoed, and I can hear my voice back.

"Human...!"

Suddenly, I stopped in my tracks when I heard a voice that seemed somewhat angry and annoyed. Did I do something wrong for which I am getting treatment like this? -

I again started looking side to side, upside down but I didn't see anything. But I think the voice seemed to come from not that afar, where I am standing right now. Then, where? -

So, I decided to question her.

"W-where am I?"

"..."

"..."

She didn't answer my question, as I can sense some hostility from her even though I can't see her. Sweat formed on my forehead, and I continue to feel the uneasiness in my heart. Until and unless she opened her mouth...

"Your name is Tanjirou Kamado, right?"

"Y-yes..."

I answered as soon as I heard her question, and the question was about my identity...

"I am one of the Goddesses of your world."

"I s-see..."

"Hmm... You know, at the time of your birth, I made a special being who is capable of bringing change to your wicked world. He has some special type of power that makes him different from other people and will make him the most powerful human in your world."

"I see"

I don't know why, but I continue to nod my head even though I can't understand any of the words she is saying.

'Special being? A special type of power? A most powerful human being? In this whole world?

What is she talking about? Has she hit her head or something? -

"HUMAN! I CAN HEAR YOUR THOUGHTS, SO THINK TWICE BEFORE YOU THINK OR SAY SOMETHING... "

"Oh, sorry"

Yeah, she really hit her head with something...

"Ahem, And that special human is you, Tanjirou Kamado..."

"Hmm... I see..."

"..."

"..."

"Is that all? Are you not surprised by this, even a little?"

"I am surprised more than you can imagine. But I don't care whatever happens to me; I just want to save my sister, Nezuko. So, if you would, please let me go, so -"

"Hmm, hmm... Very well. Just as I expected from someone like you, I am impressed. Haha..."

"..."

"Ahem, You want to save your sister, right? I can tell you about your power right now. Do you want to know? -"

"Really?"

As soon as I heard her, I literally shouted as I became somewhat relieved, because if I could, then I would definitely save my Nezuko, and maybe then I could also search for my mother.

"Human, don't interrupt me when I am speaking..."

"Sorry"

"Hmm... Yes, you can save her as well as other people who have become demons."

No, wait. Does that mean Nezuko really did become a demon, huh? She stopped saying anything more as we remained silent for about two or three minutes until she took a deep breath and continued.

"You just have to k-k-k-k-ki- Aarghh"

"By 'killing' her? No, I am sorry, but whatever you are saying right now is the thing I will never do to my sister. I will definitely -"

"Mou, Wait, human. Listen carefully to me; you don't have to kill her; you just have to -"

"KISS HER!"

As the Goddess had some difficulty saying the answer, another voice came and echoed in this place, where I think I am the only one here... And the other voice seemed more feminine as well as sweet, compared to the voice of the so-called Goddess. And I am having some doubts about which one is the real Goddess.

"Oi, HUMAN. Don't forget that we can hear your inner thoughts."

"Oh..."

"Fufu~ Thank you, human, Tanjirou Kamado..."

"..."

"You two... Well, you heard her, Tanjirou Kamado. You can change the world; you can turn your sister back to being human; and you can also help others. So -"

"Yes, go for it, Tanjirou..."

"HUH? Are you out of your mind or something, Goddess? I will never kiss my sister Nezuko; she is my blood-related sister, moreover, my twin sister you know... And you wanted me to kiss her... What are you? Are you really a goddess? "

"I see..."

"Hmm, hmm... "

When they heard me rejecting their idea or my power, by which I could turn Nezuko back into a human by kissing her. They began to hum, and it seems that they were looking at each other right now.

.

A few seconds passed, and the place was full of silence. I am standing on the ground, looking around this place, trying to see any exits. I guess that the two goddesses have already left this place because - well, I don't know.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, I smelled a nice fragrance, which seems to be coming in my direction as the fragrance is getting stronger as time passes by. And I also smell two smells; it only means that two people are coming toward me. And then -

"Mmph -"

I felt something sweet and soft on my lips. And it seems that whatever it is, is trying to enter my mouth. I tried to resist with all my might, but I could not because it seemed that my hands had been restrained by something.

W-what is h-happening? Is someone trying to k-kiss me or something? Am I? N-no way, right...

..

"Huff-huff"

After one minute of intense, I don't know what, but I guess it really was, kissing, I am currently breathing heavily. I really thought of dying because some 'goddess' kissed me to death...

But I just got only 30 seconds for doing so, to make my breathing relax as I suddenly felt another pair of lips on top of mine; it has the same sensation but it just felt more passionate... Wait, who the hell am I? How can I know or think these things?

[A/N: ^_^]

W-what is going on with me?

"Wai -"

This time I did get the time to take a breath between, but I only get to breathe one time as I again got restrained by these two... Mother, save me...

...

"Good. You definitely are the destined person who can change this world with love and affection..."

"Yes, I think the same... I am sure he will save this world and maybe his sister... Hmm... No, wait maybe he can save male demons also, by giving them a k -"

"Huff-huff"

These women, or I should say goddesses of my world, are crazy... I mean, who in their right mind would suddenly kiss someone who is half of their age, or might be more, I mean I am a mere 15 years old boy... I want to run away from this place as soon as possible but -

"Tanjiro, we can hear your thoughts..."

"Right?"

"Sorry..."

I apologized to them because I can sense some danger coming from their smiley faces; they are currently standing or floating in the air, while I am on the ground trying to relax as my breathing is out of my control.

"Hmm..."

Upon hearing my apology, the aqua-haired goddess hummed in response and started to make something as she raised her hand and started to radiate a blue aura that seems calm as well as terrifying at the same time... At last her aura turned into a form of circle and it formed beside her.

"Are you giving him, that sword?"

"Yes..."

Then the crimson-haired goddess opened her mouth and asked the aqua-haired goddess something related to what she is doing... 'Sword', huh? I am still confused about what is happening here, but if the goddesses are providing me with a sword, I think it is useless because I don't know how to use it, or I don't even know anyone who knows how to swing a sword... If and only if these two teach me then it's another story... Hmm -

As I was thinking about how to use the sword as if the sword the goddess is making, or I don't know, is for me while gazing towards the two of them, I could see something coming out of that circle... Is that a sword or what?

I can't seem to see it clearly as there is so much light coming from the circle and it is irritating for my eyes and it somewhat makes me feel dizzy also. And then -

I noticed that the sword has some thread attached to it; no, there is certainly a red thread inside the sword, and it somehow connects my body, or to specify, my heart, along with it. What is this?

I wanted to ask many questions from the moment I woke up, but I couldn't find the correct time as well as these two women didn't let me ask anything. Whenever I tried to open my mouth, they both started to stare at me and shows me a terrifying smile.

And as time passed, the light coming from the circle as well as the circle also disappeared. Now only the sword is in the air, no, I guess the goddess is controlling the sword right now. -

""Tanjiro!""

"YES!?"

Now, what?
