Everyone in the Demon Slayer Corps has experienced harm from demons, but those who choose to join the Demon Slayer Corps because of the tragedy are all extremely gentle people.
Because Tokito Muichiro is a high-ranking pillar, and he never communicated with others at the beginning. When he began to learn to communicate, the people he met were all such people.
Even the fierce Fuzugawa has an important place in his heart for his family and partners, not to mention other people.
Whether it is Tokito Muichiro's wish or Kamado Tanjiro's wish, it actually comes down to one thing.
[As long as Muzan Muzan does not exist.]
As long as Muzan does not exist and disappears from the beginning, then everything now will not happen, and there will be no curse on the Umayashiki family. Everyone will not lose their families.
Maybe when the Tokito twins were ten years old, they would not encounter ghosts, but would encounter robbers or bad guys... After all, ghosts were originally human beings, but their desires were strengthened and they lost their original human identities.
But... it was different then. Tokito Muichiro thought.
Tanjiro didn't know the details, but he could smell the emotions of the boy in front of him, so he knew what the other party wanted to do, with a sad obsession.
Ghosts and spirits exist in this world. Just like the rabbit back then, because he was worried about Mr. Rindo, he chose to stay in Samagiri Mountain and chose to help Tanjiro Kamado, who was still very weak at the time.
So, is the Tokito in front of him also a ghost? Tanjiro Kamado couldn't help but think.
In the past, he didn't know the existence of souls, and thought that Santo and the others were still alive. After hearing Mr. Ryotaki talking about the death of Santo and the others, he felt so sad and confused.
Their obsession is Mr. Ryotaki. What is Tokito's obsession? Tanjiro Kamado may still know.
It's everyone... It's me, Nezuko, and the lord and the others.
Obviously just such a young child - looking at past partners with the mature and grown eyes now, partners who never had the opportunity to continue growing up, Tanjiro Kamado lowered his eyes slightly, and couldn't help thinking, if everyone is still alive, what kind of development would it be now.
Tanjiro Kamado is a gentle and transparent person. He has been such a person since he was a child. He looked at the bodies of his family members, but accepted the cruel truth. He carried his sister Nezuko, the only one who had a chance to survive, on his back and went to find help.
Tanjiro Kamado would recall the past and miss the past, but more often, he would look forward to the future and firmly grasp everything that was left in his hands.
For example, Nezuko. Even if his sister turned into a ghost, Tanjiro would not let go and was willing to protect his sister with his life.
However, perhaps because he saw his past partners, or because he realized that he was about to die. This nostalgia became even deeper.
During this time, after seeing familiar people, his sister, and his wife, he couldn't help but wonder, if Hanako was still alive, if his brothers were still there... If his mother was still there, what kind of happy smile would she show when she saw Nezuko getting married.
Because his sister, wife and partners are all too gentle, they left enough space for Tanjiro to be alone. Because they know that sometimes companionship is not necessarily the best thing, and leaving a certain amount of space is also a correct choice.
Seeing them, Tanjiro would choose to suppress himself in order to take care of their emotions.
Agatsuma Zenitsu is a very sensitive person. After realizing this, he immediately took Nezuko and Tanjiro's children away temporarily, and before leaving, he angrily yelled at Tanjiro for being an idiot.
This made Tanjiro Kamado a little amused.
As a result, just after they left, Tanjiro Kamado saw a young man with a pair of light blue eyes.
——Yes, Tokito is always cold towards other people, and is unwilling to get along with too many people. At the beginning, apart from the pillars and the lord, the only people who made him look at him differently were Nezuko and Tanjiro.
Therefore, if there were other people, it's no wonder that Tokito didn't show up. Tanjiro Kamado thought.
He casually made up a reason that he didn't even believe.
Because there was no need to explore more.
Although they said that they would give Tanjiro some time alone, no matter what, no one could feel at ease. One day later, Zenitsu Agatsuma came back with Nezuko and the children in a noisy manner.
Tokito Muichiro did not appear in front of people, just like his swordsmanship. At this moment, Tokito Muichiro was like mist, like the falling rays of light, silent and motionless as if he didn't exist.
Tanjiro Kamado smiled gently and never mentioned this to his friends and relatives, but his sense of smell made him sure that Tokito did not leave.
He never took the initiative to call Tokito Muichiro, but would prepare a little more food and put it in the kitchen.
His wife Kanao could not have failed to notice and never said anything. She would only occasionally see the remaining part of the prepared dishes and smile to her husband and say, "It seems that Mr. Mystery doesn't like this dish."
Tanjiro Kamado would laugh and say, "Yeah, don't prepare this next time." Tokito
Muichiro stayed in this world that belonged to him but not to him for a month.
Tanjiro Kamado seemed to have forgotten him, and never mentioned whether he wanted to visit his lord. There were too few traces of Tokito Muichiro left in this world. His only relative was not even known by many people. The lord and Lady Amane who took care of him had died long ago.
For the young lord, Tokito Muichiro only needed to know that he was still fine, and he had no intention of meeting him.
He looked at Tanjiro and he didn't look like he was dying at all. He always had a smile on his face and lived a relaxed life with his family.
Just as he said, Zenitsu Agatsuma would come from time to time, and from time to time he would cry to Tanjiro about the difficulty of raising a child.
But when he saw the child's cute face that looked exactly like Nezuko's, he lost all his temper.
Everything was happy until... Tanjiro celebrated his 25th birthday. He was still talking and laughing with everyone the second before, and was happy for Inosuke who came back.
But the next moment, she leaned on the table and closed her eyes.
At that moment, the room was quiet.
The children didn't know what happened. Nezuko tried to stay calm and didn't want the children to panic, but she couldn't help but cover her mouth and shed tears silently.
Even if you lose more family members, you can't get used to this kind of thing.
Inosuke didn't say anything, but he wasn't as noisy as usual, and he put on his boar mask very quietly. No one could see his expression.
Everything was very calm - at least on the surface. There was no hysteria, no disbelief, but the uncontrollable shallow sadness around them was revealed.
Agatsuma Zenitsu, who had long grown into a reliable man, did not cry, but as Nezuko's husband, he handled everything that happened next.
He looked completely different from the man who was childish and noisy in their previous interactions.
After the funeral, the blond man stood silently in front of the tree where Tokito Muichiro was hiding. He seemed to want to say something - but in the end he scratched his head and gave up.
"I, I..."
"Anyway, it's just... um..." Agatsuma Zenitsu took a deep breath, but suddenly couldn't hold back his tears.
He had been a coward since he was a child, crying and timid. Only his grandfather and Tanjiro reached out to him at the beginning - but now, Tanjiro also...
Agatsuma Zenitsu patted his chest and tried to hold back his tears: "Tanjiro..."
But when he said this name, he couldn't hold it back.
Agatsuma Zenitsu choked up: "Tanjiro, Tanjiro has something to say to you..."
"He didn't say it directly, I just heard it..." Agatsuma Zenitsu lowered his head, tears falling to the ground in big drops, "He is very worried about you... During this time, I can always hear the worry in his heart..."
"I won't say, it's all your fault that made Tanjiro worry...! Because during this time, Tanjiro was also very happy... Because he met his old partners... and so on..." "
I don't know what the situation is...! Anyway - anyway, for Tanjiro, you are not allowed to do anything to make him worry! Otherwise, even if it's my turn to die, I will - I will also call Inosuke to beat you up together!"
"...Inosuke, that idiot! He didn't come back early or late... It's because of him coming back... Tanjiro will feel relieved...!" Of course, it can't be said like this. Agatsuma Zenitsu is just finding random reasons to vent his anger on Inosuke as he did in the past.
Because he knows: "That guy Inosuke is like a beast... It must be like a stupid beast that sensed the last time, so he hurried back to see you for the last time..."
"...Why are you crying! It's because your heart has been crying that I can't help it!!" Agatsuma Zenitsu covered his face: "Don't be so sad... You make me even sadder!"
"It's all your fault! It's all your fault! I didn't want to cry!" Agatsuma Zenitsu cried and shouted: "I clearly promised Tanjiro... to be a reliable person... It's all your fault... Ugh..."
