Can you help Tanjiro before it is too late?
Swordsmith Village is under attack by a group of Upper Rank Demons, and the Demon Slayer Corps, including Tanjiro, Tokito, and Kanroji, are doing their best to fend them off. However, Tanjiro needs a new sword. To aid Tanjiro in battle, you (an apprentice swordsmith), Genya, and some other familiar faces set out on a mission to search for and deliver a new sword to Tanjiro. Time is of the essence! Will you be able to complete your task and help save Swordsmith Village in time?
