(Special Chapter) Suminagashi Group

This special chapter is all about Tadao and his dear friends.
The events that happen here are years before the main storyline.

...

"Man, if not by demons, I'm surely going to die by the unsleepiness."
A young Tadao was walking down a road, heading to his next mission.

"Craw!"

Suddenly, a crow landed on Tadao's shoulder.
"You are as slow as ever!
Kenji and others are waiting for you !"

Tadao looked at the crow, who wasn't his.
"You sure got a sharp tongue for a crow, Chusuke.
I didn't rest enough, and now I'm dragged in another mission.
Life sure is painful for an innocent soul like me!"

Then he began to run and finally arrived at the appointed place.
He was breathing hard and was really tired, and a girl who seemed to be angry approached him.
"Tadao Soragoi!
This is the hundredth time we wait for you to come in a mission."

Tadao was scared a bit and tried to calm her down by smiling.
"And I deeply apologise for the hundredth time.
Aside from that, please allow me to tell you that your beautiful face is not suited for such an aggressive expression, Naoko.
Coming from your friend, I only wish to see it at its best."

[ Naoko Sasaki is a fellow Demon Slayer and part of the Suminagashi Team.
She is the one who manages to get Tadao out of trouble the most and scolds him a lot.
Tadao often refers to her as a big sister. ]

This managed to calm her down, but she slapped him anyway.
"That was for trying corrupt me with your flattering words."

Then another guy showed up.
"Tadao, I just hope that you didn't mess around with others while we weren't with you."

Tadao chuckled as he saw him.
"You know that I am not like you, Kenji.
I can not live without having a bit of fun."

[ Kenji Kumeno is an exceptional swordsman and also a part of the Suminagashi Team.
He is the type to act tough and grumpy around everyone, but Tadao is convinced he is quite quite caring and affectionate on the inside.
They quarrel with each other a lot.
I mean a lot. ]
