"Hah hah hah, the burden is so heavy. How can you do this without stopping all night dad", said Tanjiro with a heavy breath, he repositioned his stance to start his Sun breathing technique again, "...Sun Breathing, Firs_",

"Mosh Moshi",

"Waaah....", Tanjiro was shocked that he fell to see a Shinobi appear in front of him suddenly, "Shinobu-sama!",

"Ara-ara sorry for surprising you Tanjiro-kun", said Shinobu while helping Tanjiro up.

Tanjiro shook his head, "it's okay Shinobu-sama, what are you doing here?",

"Hmm, I wanted to meet Tomioka-san, but I saw you training, so I wanted to greet you first. Why are you training so late at night? Don't push yourself too hard, it's not good",

"I'm not pushing myself Shinobu-sama, I just started practicing an hour ago. Tomioka-san asked me to do the sun god dance all night ",

"A whole night? Isn't that an exaggeration?",

"No Shinobu-sama, my father used to be able to do it when he was sick. So I thought I could definitely do this", said Tanjiro confidently.

Shinobi smiled seeing Tanjiro's determination, "Then where is Tomioka-san now?",

"He's resting on the balcony", replied Tanjiro, pointing to where Giyuu was.

"Ara the student is practicing, he's sleeping," said Shinobu a little annoyed.

"Ah it's not like that Shinobu-sama, Since this morning Tomioka-san has been supervising the training of other demon slayers, several pillars have also come to practice sparring with him, so it's only natural that Tomioka-san rests, and even then he just rested", said Tanjiro explaining with fast.

Shinobi nodded in understanding, "Then continue your training Tanjiro-kun, I'll see how Tomioka-san is",

"Hai',", replied Tanjiro.

Shinobu walked over to Giyuu. Arriving there, she smiled at the peaceful face of Giyuu who was sleeping. "You shouldn't sleep in a sitting position like that...", said Shinobu softly.
Her face slowly approached Giyuu's, she wanted to take a closer look. "...What made you change? What happened to you that made you like this? What burden are you carrying? What kind of world are you seeing, Tomioka-san? I want to know all about you",

"That's a lot of questions Kocho", said Giyuu slowly opening his eyes,

Shinobu's eyes met Giyuu's eyes.

Shinobu was surprised, she was about to move his body away, but Giyuu quickly pulled Shinobu into his arms.

"What are you doing Tomioka-san?", asked Shinobu quickly. Slowly her face turned red.

Giyuu didn't answer.

"Moshi Moshi Tomioka-san!",

"Don't stop Tanjiro", said Giyuu in a slightly loud voice.
