"Before we start the trial, why don't you explain the thing that was happening before th—"

Kanae not finish her sentence, she was being cut by Rengoku that shouted.

"There's no need for a trial! Protecting a demon is a clear violation of the code! We're within our rights to deal with him or our owns! We're going to behead him along with the demon!"

"But he's not a dem—-"

Kanae that tried to explain thing and calm everyone down, now was cut by Uzui.

"In that case, I'll be glad to decapitate him with style. I'll show you the most flamboyant bloodspray you'll ever see. I'm talking max flamboyance."

"You will kill such an adorable child?"

Mitsuri asked and continue her sentence.

"That pains my heart! It fills me with anguish!"

"Ah, what a pitiful sight this boy is. The poor soul...I pity him for having been born at all."

"G—Gyomei-San—"

Kanae didn't think that Gyomei will also join this. Then, she turn her face to look at Muichiro that say more like saying to himself.

"What was the shape of that cloud again? What was it called again?"

After finishing Muichiro's question to himself. The black hair boy with a burgundy tips is acting like he was looking for something.

"Hey you. The hashira are speaking. What are you looking at? These are the nine highest-ranking swordsmen in the Demon Slayer Corps."

The sound of Kakushi said, reminding the place that the boy was in now.

"Let's put him out of this misery."

"Right!"

"Let's do it. Flamboyantly."

"Nezuko...Nezuko, where are you? Nezuko! Zenitsu! Inosuke! Murata-San!"

The boy shouting trying to find his friends.

"Don't worry about them, they are sa—"

Kanae that tried to make the boy to calm down was again being intervened by someone.

"Forget that. What will we do with Tomioka?"

A sudden voice from above the tree is saying.

"Seeing him there without any restraints is giving me a headache. Based on what Shinobu told us, Tomioka's just as guilty of breaking the corps rules. How will we deal with him? How should we make him take responsibility? What kind of lesson shall we teach him? Don't you have anything to say, Tomioka?"

After Obanai finished his sentence, he point his finger at Tomioka. A one thing suddenly come to Kanae's mind.

'Shinobu-Chan so you tell them about this... I think I told her not to tell everyone yet cause it will make more trouble.'

Kanae just sighed while turning her face to look at Tomioka like everyone else. Kanae noticed some regret face on the boy.

"I think it's fine. At least he come here without any resisting."

Kanae said trying to make everyone be more calm and make the boy not regretting things more than this.

"What I'm more interested in is hearing this boy's story. The reason he can going on missions with a demon. I want to hear how can he do that!"

Kanae said with a joyful voice.

"Why everyone is making him look like a bad person, come on, a demon and a human finally can be together."

Kanae said looking at everyone but the thing that she received is a silence. Until, the silence was broke by Gyomei.

"Kanae I know you well that your dream is to have a demon and a human live together in a peaceful world, but do you really think it can be?"

Gyomei asked, making a joyful face of Kanae disappear.

"And it also against a rule!"

Rengoku added.

"I understand that, but to think that they have to die, it's make me sad."

Kanae replied.

"Kanae-San I know that you are worry about them. They are cute to protect right."

Mitsuri voice said, holding Kanae's hand with a smiled on her face.

"M—Mitsuri ch—-"

Kanae didn't know what to say because of the cold gaze toward her from the tree.

"Kocho, Kanroji , I think we didn't come here to find a way to protect this kid and a demon. Or you both are with Tomioka and this kid side."

A voice of Uzui reminded both girls the reason that they were here.

"Ah that's right. I think I need to be serious now."

Kanae said, looking at the boy in front of her.

"You can be serious for once?"

Everyone look surprised of Kanae, they never see Kanae being really serious except when she face a demon.
