Hearing this, Inosuke laughed. "Not bad, not bad! It's the first time a human has thrown me!"
Then, he attacked Tanjiro, unleashing a cross-shaped slash with his twin blades.
Tanjiro, holding the girl, leaped back to avoid the attack. He was puzzled. Was Inosuke not a Demon Slayer? Even if not, they were both human. Why fight each other?
"My blades are painful. They're not for cutting fruit like a lady's knife. The feeling of tearing an opponent apart is amazing. I love it!" Inosuke muttered proudly.
"Stop it! The {demon} is here!" Tanjiro didn't want to fight a human and tried to reason with Inosuke.
"I don't care!" Inosuke didn't care. Anyone he considered an enemy had to fight.
He couldn't contain himself any longer.
"Bug, disappear! Die!"
While Tanjiro and Inosuke argued, the {drum demon} struck another drum.
The room didn't flip, but three sharp air blades descended on Tanjiro and Inosuke.
Inosuke abandoned his attack and dodged.
Tanjiro leaped back to create distance.
The three air blades struck the tatami mats, creating deep gashes. The gashes looked like claw marks from a large beast.
More drum sounds. Three more air blades attacked Inosuke.
He dodged again, but the air blades shattered the door behind him.
A series of drum sounds followed, and the room flipped.
Tanjiro observed the {drum demon}'s drumming and quickly noticed a pattern. Following the pattern, he rolled with the girl.
Inosuke, single-minded, didn't pay attention to the details and was flung out of the room through the broken door.
As Tanjiro discovered the pattern, a distant drum sound echoed, and the room changed, taking him away from the {drum demon}.
"The room changed again! But the {demon} didn't hit its drums! What's going on?" Tanjiro, who had just figured out the pattern, was puzzled.
"There are several {demons} nearby. Do other {demons} have those drums?"
Tanjiro put the girl down and comforted her. "You're okay. Stay behind me later!"
The girl nodded. Tanjiro continued searching for her brother using his sense of smell.
He wasn't too worried about Zenitsu and Nezuko. He trusted Zenitsu to be reliable in crucial moments.
Ryuji, after defeating Lower Rank Six, would likely enter the villa and encounter them.
