After Haru explained things to Giyu, the Super Dimensional Crossworld System's broadcast prompt sounded in his mind.

Upon hearing the penalty for failing the new mission, Haru's expression immediately turned bitter. If he failed, he'd be castrated! This couldn't happen!

Besides, Haru didn't know how long he would stay in this world. Without the family heirloom, he'd be destined to live alone. That miserable fate was the last thing he wanted to see, so he had to complete this mission.

Giyu, of course, had no idea what Haru was thinking. After listening to the explanation, he paused, as if making a decision, then turned his attention back to Tanjiro, saying, "If you want to avenge your family, go visit an old man named Sakonji Urokodaki, who lives at the foot of Mount Sagiri. Tell him Giyu Tomioka sent you. It's not too sunny today, so there shouldn't be any problems. Just make sure your sister doesn't get exposed to the sun."

After finishing, Giyu gave Haru one last glance. With a gust of wind and swirling snowflakes, he disappeared from sight, clearly leaving.

Once Giyu was gone, Tanjiro approached Haru and kneeled before him. "Thank you, Senior, I'm truly grateful!"

Haru didn't think there was anything to be grateful for. The reason he did this was not out of kindness, but because of the system's mission.

After all, Haru didn't know Tanjiro and Nezuko, so he had no emotional attachment to the two siblings.

"No need to thank me. Your sister is important to me, that's all. She can't die, that's the simple reason," Haru said slowly.

"Then, is what you said about making my sister human true?" Tanjiro asked.

"Well…" Haru pondered for a moment before replying, "That requires time! Before finding a solution, you'd better become as strong as that guy from earlier. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that I can protect you while protecting your sister. If you die, you won't be around to see your sister become human."

Upon hearing this, the intelligent Tanjiro quickly understood Haru's words. During Haru's unconsciousness, Tanjiro had also spoken with Giyu. Both Haru's and Giyu's words had strengthened Tanjiro's resolve to grow stronger.

"Then, Senior, what are your plans next?" Tanjiro asked, showing his trust in Haru as the anchor of his resolve.

Haru scratched his head before replying, "Plans, huh? You should tell me your plans first."

"I'm going to Mount Sagiri to find Sakonji Urokodaki, the senior, and learn some skills," Tanjiro said firmly.
