Aika's POV

After that lunch Kyojuro said his farewell since he still needs to go to the next town "see you next time Aika" he said giving me a pat on my head then turning his back on me heading to his destination "wait! " I said stopping him "what's the matter" he ask " please take this" I said giving him a vial of the medicine " please if you get injured drink this it will greatly help you" I said, he then takes it "thanks I'll use this if I suddenly need it" he said with a smile that makes me blush a little, he just then continue to go in the direction of the other town. 'Now then, let's start our own investigation '

.

3rd Person POV

Aika started her investigation in the village she is assigned to. She goes to every corner of the village and finds nothing but for one unusual thing. Around the village, she's been seeing an ominous flower " The Vida Flower"

'Why does a flower like this bloom in a town full of healthy people'

The Vida Flower is known to only be seen in a grave that's is why it is also known as a death flower but it is also known as a parasitic flower, it sucks the blood of any living things, the blood is the one that helps this flower to bloom and to have a very bright color of red.

She then follows the trail of the flower where a lot of it blooms the longer she follows it to the place she doesn't know, the moments later the flower leads her to a dark alley of the town. She immediately knows that the place is dangerous.

System: dear host there is a...

"Powerful demon around here" she said interrupting her system. She looks around drawing her fans from her sleaves raising her guard for something that is about to happen.

She then turns around and sees multiple rocks like a bullet in her way. "Ocean Breathing First Form: Spinning Lotus Dance" she fastly rotates quickly and elegantly to deflect each of these rock-like bullets but some of them got a slip to her defense and hit her to her left leg, right side of the abdomen, and her left arm.

She then looks at her arm to see clearly what is the thing that hit her " is this a seed? " "great defense you have there demon slayer" she suddenly hears an unfamiliar voice from the shadow and when the bright light from the moon illuminates the figure from the shadow shows a demon

The art is not mine, please imagine that she has an engraved kanji number two in her left eye)

'Lower moon Two! ' she thought looking at the demon standing in front of her, Aika can feel the pressure of the demon emitting, this makes Aika feels scared but she never falters. She has already faced a lot of demons and it is not the time to be scared just because she's facing a demon from twelve kizuki. She immediately sends a signal to her crow to get some backups

"What, are you just going to stand there in fear, and here I thought you're here for my head" the demon said taunting Aika,

Aika's POV

"Don't talk all mighty on me, for someone who just become a lower moon recently" I said trying to taunt the demon back and this time. "You! Don't talk to me like you know anything" "oh! I know, you are the substitute for the previous lower moon, you know the demon with a lot of guns" I said talking back to the demon who is angry at me. "It was two years ago right when you become lower moon" I added 'that is also the time when Kyojuro become the Flame Hashira' and with this, the demon flinch and was shocked at what I said and rushed and attack me.

3rd Person POV

The demon then jump and attack Aika with a kick but Aika dodge it "Ocean Breathing, Sixth Form: Current Shift Cut" she rushes towards the demon react to this and guard but this form let Aika spin around the opponent and decapitate it from behind 'I got her' She thought

"Blood Demon Art: Flower of death" the demon said casting her blood art. Aika then landed her blade on the neck of the demon 'what? My blade's not coming through, my strength why do I feel so weak all of a sudden' Aika then look at her body and her eyes widen that there is now flower, the same flower she sees around the town growing in her body 'it seems like it came from those seeds that were attached to her earlier, so this is her blood art'

"Ahh poor you, I bet you can feel that your strength is slowly slipping away from your body and in a matter of a minute you'll die from a blood loss, anyway your blood is really good" the demon said licking her lips. The demon then sends vines coming from her body. And these vines become bigger and bigger and suddenly these vines become a piercing needle that immediately attacks Aika "Goodbye, Demon Slayer" and in an instant these needle likes vines pierce through Aika's vital points.

So, what it seems...

'What the, what happened I could assume that she Pierce through me, aghhh! my head hurts' The demon then sends a vine coming from her body. And these vines become bigger and bigger and suddenly these vines become a piercing needle that immediately attacks Aika "Goodbye, Demon Slayer" 'wait this is the same thing I saw before' Aika then Dodge everything despite the pain she's enduring 'that's the same attack I just saw earlier...Did I just see the future

'She dodges it, I thought I already weakened her through my blood art, but for her to Dodge each of my vines, something feels off' the demon thought.

"Huff!...Hufff!..., system say something" She mumbled

System: why are you surprised dear host, I have already informed you about your family's unique ability to see the future.

"Wait you mean, it is not just something you made up, for me" she whispered

System: dear host the moment you we're transmigrated to this world you become someone that is part of it even though at first it's just temporary but when you wish for your transmigration to be permanent, the person that who you are become engraved to this world slowly and when the transferring is finished your talent and skill will greatly enhance alongside with your unique ability to see the future. Everything that is written to your character description will permanently be a part of you.

The system explains to Aika her unbelievable experience to see the future.

"I see but right now I need to focus on this demon before I ask you more questions" 'but this flower is sucking away my strength and blood'

"I didn't think you will dodge that but try dodging this" the demon said sending more needle-like vines towards Aika. And because Aika was able to use her ability to see the future she was able to dodge some of it but because of the flower that is stuck to her body that makes her slow down, she was stabbed in some part of her body.

"HaHaHaHa, look at you all bloody and messed up, you still lucky that you were able to dodge until now despite being shackled by my beautiful flowers, but that's the last time you'll dodge" the demon said with her grinning face.

"Don't underestimate me, just because your flower is in my body" Aika said in a low and weak voice "mmm? What are you mumbling about? "The demon said slowly approaching Aika that seems to be just standing while her head is looking down "Did you already give up!? Well do me the honor of killing you " the demon said.

"Ocean Breathing, Fifth Form: Ocean's Lullaby...Shhhhhhhhhhhh" Aika perform her fifth form where she produces a sound that is both delicate to human and demon but a different effect to the demon. "What is that sound, it's making me dizzy, but I like it I want more of it" the demon that seems to be out of her mind.

"Ocean Breathing, Fourth Form: Harmonic Strike" Aika said decapitating the lower moon two with all of her strength "Huff...Huffff. ..now Die!"

'What just happened, did she cut me, what did she do to me, I don't even remember what happened "I'm not going to die without you coming with me" the demon shouts and doing her last resort to kill me. She sends some of the vines that coming from her headless body to me.

'This is bad I can't move my body and I'm about to lose consciousness because of the blood loss, think! think Aika or you're going to di...' She stopped thinking when the vines is just a few inches from her, but suddenly a bright red flame protected her from the incoming vines.

"Sorry I'm late, but you did a great job" a man she know said "Kyojuro" she said with a faint smile before losing consciousness but before she fall to the ground Kyojuro catch her.

.

.

"Kyojuro-sama we're done giving her the first aid we will immediately transfer her to the butterfly state for medical attention" the Kakushi said "No need! I'll carry her myself to the butterfly State, it will be faster" Kyojuro said then carrying Aika to his back and starting to run towards the butterfly state.

.

' I hope she's ok, my chest feels so heavy the more I see her like this, for a short time, she becomes important to me, I don't know why but I feel so drawn to her'
