▪Deadly Thorns and Violent Storms▪

Chapter 27

Tanjiro's POV:

A week has passed since Zenitsu and Inosuke were being quite strange... They're still being kind of weird, but it's more normal.

It was the weekend so my siblings and I were all just doing our homework. Then our mother called me into the other room.

"Yes, mother?" I asked politely.

"I was thinking that you should invite some of your friends over for dinner tonight!" She smiled brightly at me. "If that's something you'd want of course, sweetheart."

I thought for a second. "I could invite Zenitsu and Inosuke." Mother doesn't know I only have two friends...

"Is there anyone else?" She looked at her shopping list that she was holding, "I just need to know what I need to get."

"No, that's everyone."

"Okay, I'll get going now, you can ask them to arrive at 4 o'clock." Mother kissed me on the forehead then grabbed her purse, "Watch everyone, bye honey!"

I went back in the other room and took out my phone to text Zenitsu and Inosuke.

Tanjiro :

Hello, guys!

I hope you don't mind
I created a group chat.

I have a question for
both of you.

Zenitsu :

What's up?

Tanjiro :

My mother would like
to know if you two
would like to accompany
us to dinner tonight.

We would all love to be
graced by your presence.

If you can make it, please R.S.V.P.

You may arrive at 4:00 p.m.

late the get-together will last.

Zenitsu :
