Chapter Eleven: Farewell to Tamayo & the Ascension Plan
[On a morning at Tamayo's house, our seven heroes prepare to set off in search of their first steps toward growth, seriousness, and finding a master.]
[Tamayo stands calmly as usual in front of her house, wearing her signature purple haori adorned with a flower. Beside her is Yushiro, arms crossed and irritated as always.]
Tamayo (in her calm, gentle voice):
Take care of yourselves… no need to push too hard. And no fighting.
Moaz (smiling softly, speaking calmly):
Alright… we'll be careful, right guys?
[As he turns around, he sees Ali frowning with his arms crossed, Hudhayfa holding a medical book and smiling, while Mo'men is eating rice balls alongside Iyad.]
Ali (annoyed):
Yeah, yeah, we got it
Hudhayfa (sighs and whispers in his ear):
Shut up, giraffe-tongue.
Ali (irritated):
Why should I? I just want to go back home.
Mo'men (shouting loudly, raising his finger):
Not before I see Mitsuri-chan!
Iyad (with the same excitement):
Me too!
Mo'men & Iyad (together):
Mitsuri first
Mazen (rubbing his sleepy eyes, muttering):
Obanai will kill you… haha. Watching the Hashira deal with stupidity will be fun.
Mohannad (standing elegantly with hands in his pockets):
Hmm, the Hashira get paid 3000 dollars… Mazen found the solution.
[He pulls his hands out, touching his chin thoughtfully.]
They said the condition is killing fifty demons or a Lower Moon… let's make it an Upper Moon, I'll earn gold.
(He finishes with a sly smile.)
Moaz (sighing quietly to himself):
I hope there's no fighting… and that Mo'men doesn't finish all the food.
Yushiro (snorts, looking away):
I don't care about you, but if Tamayo-san cares, then fine.
[Tamayo walks forward calmly and stops in front of Moaz, surprising him… then gently places her right hand on his left cheek and smiles.]
Moaz (tense, whispering while looking into her violet eyes):
Tamayo-san?
Tamayo (soft smile, gently rubbing his cheek):
Take care of yourself. You're the most fragile among them.
[A faint blush appears on Moaz's cheeks.]
Moaz:
Alright.
Mohannad (leaning in, whispering to the others):
Is Moaz falling in love with grandma, or is he her son?
Iyad (smiling, jealousy obvious):
Mama Tamayo's favorite.
Mo'men (scheming, speaking loudly):
What about Shinobu then, Moaz?
[Ali smacks Mo'men on the head.]
Ali:
Shut up, we're leaving now.
[Moaz looks directly into Tamayo's eyes and smiles]:
We'll take care of ourselves… and help you get your revenge.
[Yushiro clenches his fist, face reddening with jealousy.]
I'm really going to kill someone.
Hudhayfa (stroking his chin, analyzing):
Yushiro's personality shows clear affection for Tamayo-san, jealousy, possessiveness—honestly, it makes sense—
[Yushiro suddenly throws a bucket of water at Hudhayfa, knocking him onto his back.]
Yushiro (furious):
Shut up, annoying philosopher!
Hudhayfa (on the ground, raising his finger, forehead red):
Character conclusion: bad boy.
[Suddenly, Lady Misaki arrives with her cautious assistant Hikaru.]
Misaki (smiling):
I came to say goodbye. I wish you all safety, kids.
Mazen (thinking quietly):
Hmm… whenever there's a farewell, someone usually dies. Probably us.
Iyad (turning to Mazen, trembling):
Die?
Momen (deep in thought):
Imagine running into Kokushibo… or Doma… or Akaza. Damn.
Mazen (mocking):
Breathing Style: Escape, First Form—Run, Magdy!
If it's Kokushibo. If it's Doma, we throw Moaz as bait—sweet snack—dies like Shinobu.
Moaz (annoyed, turning to Mazen):
I die against Doma too?
[A vein appears on Moaz's forehead as he smiles sadistically.]
Hmm… which way should I kill you, Mazen?
[Amid the chaos, Mohannad suddenly shouts]:
Let's go before night falls!
[The seven set off amid chaos and bickering. Suddenly, a breathless female voice calls out]:
Ali-san!
[Ali turns to see Yui, her face red from running… and something else.]
Yui (nervously):
I wish you safety, Ali-san. And… thank you.
[Ali's eyes widen slightly; he blushes faintly.]
Mohannad (smiling mockingly):
Ali's shy like Moaz. Love hits everyone—funny.
Ali (angrily):
Shut up!
Hudhayfa (teasing, slightly jealous):
Lucky. A girl who likes you—maybe a new love story in this anime.
Mohannad (tilting his head):
Your turn later, Moaz, with your beloved Shinobu.
Moaz (walking ahead, face red):
Yeah… focus first.
Mazen (laughing):
Moaz and Ali—first to fall in love, first with anger issues.
[A brief silence. Only the wind.]
Moaz & Ali (deadly glare):
Shut up, idiot.
[Back at Tamayo's house, in her research room, she writes:]
"These seven… I feel like they're not from here. I wish to see them again."
[She closes her violet eyes and sighs.]
What's wrong with me? Has my maternal instinct returned…?
[In a forest, as the Egyptians walk…]
[Hours pass. The seven wander, arguing constantly, lost.]
Moaz (trying to stay calm):
Let's keep going—we're close.
Ali (sarcastic):
Close to death.
Iyad (panting):
Water… I need water.
Mo'men (drinking the last drops):
Thirsty… and hungry.
Mazen (angrily):
You drank everything and ate everything. You're the last one allowed to talk about food.
Mohannad (thinking about the Corps):
3000 dollars… good deal. Insurance too. Just hope I survive.
Hudhayfa (irritated):
Moaz, you said you knew the anime!
Moaz (annoyed):
I know the characters and power levels—not a Taisho-era map!
Mazen (curious):
Simple question—who are we looking for?
Moaz:
Urokodaki. Tanjiro's master.
Iyad (grinning):
And Tomioka's master too.
Mazen (laughing):
Shinobu's lover, right? ♡
Moaz (furious):
That depressed failure just because he has blue eyes and a decent face—what a joke.
Hudhayfa:
Who's "Toka" that?
Mohannad:
He wanted to quit being a Hashira once. Idiot—why leave money?
Mazen (mocking):
Imagine Moaz meeting Tomioka—comedy gold. Let's call it Butterfly Heart.
Moaz (thinking angrily):
No one understands Shinobu except me… because we're alike.
[Night falls. The seven sit cautiously beneath a tree. Suddenly, rustling leaves—everyone awakens.]
[Moaz, Hudhayfa, Ali, and Mohannad stand ready to fight while Mo'men, Iyad, and Mazen hide.]
Ali:
I want to sleep… and kill someone.
Hudhayfa (trembling):
Survival rate is low… we're deaaad.
Moaz (battle stance):
Not again.
Mohannad (sniffing the air, drawing his sword):
Come on… tenth demon toward Hashira rank.
[A massive demon appears—2.5 meters tall, green eyes, sharp fangs, greenish skin. Its gaze locks onto Moaz… then it charges.]
Moaz (whispering):
Get ready.
[Suddenly—its head is severed, flying away. Shock fills the seven's faces.]
[From the trees emerges an old man in a green haori, 185 cm tall, white hair and beard, a black sword stained with blood.]
Old Man (calm, mocking):
Ho ho… new teenagers?
Mohannad (whispering):
Moaz, do you know him? Was he in the original story?
Moaz (eyes fixed on the old man):
No… he's different. I think… we're in trouble.
Old Man (chuckling):
Relax, kids.
Ali (angrily):
Who are you, old man?!
Old Man (opening his blue eyes, smiling):
My name is Aizawa… Old Man Aizawa. I'm the one in charge here.
[The seven freeze.]
Moaz (whispering):
Aizawa… that's a strange character.
