Chapter 7: The Hunt for the Oni

After the official wedding engagement, Hiroshi, Kanae and Shinobu found themselves committed to a new mission. This mission was not only a proof of their love and union, but also a way to protect the population from a terrible threat: an oni that devoured children. With the crow's help, they received crucial information to head towards the city where the oni was hiding.

Days passed as they investigated every corner of the city, looking for clues and gathering precious information about the oni. It was an arduous task, but the group's determination never waned. Working together, they shared each discovery and supported each other, bolstering their confidence and resolve.

After four days of intense investigation, the trio finally found the oni's hiding place. Tension was in the air as they prepared to face the malevolent creature. Before them, the oni revealed itself in a surprising way: it was an inferior moon - a demonic creature that, while still dangerous, was considered less powerful.

Without hesitation, Hiroshi, Kanae and Shinobu gathered their strength and skills. Trusting each other, they devised a strategy to defeat the oni, making the most of their advantage. Every move was carefully choreographed, every step calculated to overcome the threat to the city and the children.

The battle began, and the individual skills of the three warriors shone through. Hiroshi demonstrated his mastery of the crimson sword, slicing through the air with precision and fluidity. Kanae, with her agility and dexterity, attacked the oni with agile movements and precise blows. Shinobu, with his ability to manipulate poisons, slowed down the demon.

The oni tried to resist, but the trio's lethal combination of teamwork proved to be an unstoppable force. They moved in perfect unison, anticipating the oni's attacks and reacting with agility. The battle raged on, but the trio's determination and commitment never wavered.

Finally, with one last final effort, Hiroshi, Kanae and Shinobu attacked in devastating synchrony. The final blow was dealt masterfully, defeating the oni and freeing the city from its reign of terror. Silence fell over the battlefield, and peace returned to a place once shrouded in fear and despair.

Panting and covered in sweat, Hiroshi, Kanae and Shinobu hugged each other, feeling the thrill of victory. The battle had been difficult, but their dedication and teamwork led them to triumph. They realized the power of togetherness and the love they shared. Together they were unstoppable.

As the city celebrated its liberation, the trio came together to reflect on the battle and strengthen their bond. They recognized how far they had come and were full of hope for what the future held in their adventures. With the confirmation of their love, their commitment and their courage, they were prepared to face any challenge that came their way.

Killing this oni was quite impressive as he had been alive for centuries and was preparing to challenge a higher moon.
