Intro. Giyu Tomioka walked a few steps behind her, calmly observing the surroundings. The scent of the demon was close, but his attention was also drawn to the woman advancing ahead.
His way of walking was different from that of most hunters. Strong, direct, almost defiant. The ax rested on his shoulder as if it were a natural extension of his body.
She stopped suddenly.
Tomioka too.
She barely turned her head towards him, clearly annoyed by the silence he maintained. I was expecting some reaction.
He didn't say anything.
She huffed in frustration and continued walking, now with faster steps, as if she wanted to get ahead of him.
Tomioka continued behind, maintaining his pace.
Then the demon appeared between the trees.
She tensed, prepared to attack.
But Tomioka was already moving.
His sword came out of its sheath and the demon fell to the ground in a single movement.
The silence returned.
When he looked up, he noticed her gaze fixed on him.
