Hmm! Hmm!" Nezuko snorted in agreement. Genya nodded furiously, comparing Tomioka-san's situation with the fact that he himself is having great difficulty mastering Breathing. For everyone else, it does not present any difficulties, but for him... If you compare this and social communication, then it sucks.
"They think he's an arrogant asshole who puts himself above them." Tokito suddenly turned everyone in. He snorted dismissively. Seriously, even he, who has memory problems, saw a completely different picture! So why are the others so blind?
"Is that so?" Kagaya asked thoughtfully. "Then we'll talk to you about it later."
"Yes, Master." the guilty said in one voice.
However, the silence did not last long.
"But Tomioka-san is very kind and good." Mitsuri nodded in agreement, also frowning with displeasure. "And I never thought he was too arrogant. In fact, he greatly underestimates himself and believes that he is not worthy of taking the place of Hashira of Water."
"Oh, did you talk to him about it?" Kagaya was delighted, it took really great efforts to get Giyuu to take this post.
"Yes, we talked to him about this topic." Kanroji nodded. "He's still not sure, but we're working on it."
"Would you be satisfied if he left his post of Hashira because of you and became an ordinary demon slayer?" Kanao suddenly snorted, crossing his arms over his chest. She turned away from her older sister, refusing to look at her. "Pretty sure you'd be damn proud of yourself!"
They looked at her in surprise, not expecting such an outburst of emotions from the girl at all.
"Of course, they put out an undesirable comrade, whom they did not consider a comrade!" Inosuke suddenly grinned, but his smile did not bode well. And he always thought that it was the demons who lacked camaraderie. Even though he had been a loner for a long time, even he admitted how much stronger he had become now that he had friends. Even the crybaby Zetsu made him stronger.
"Brother, is this true?" Senjuro asked with a scared frown. He didn't like what he heard at all. His brother couldn't be like that. Couldn't be, right?
Don't worry, he has friends." Rengoku said calmly, frowning. He didn't like what he heard. Of course, he was not close to Giyuu, but he communicated well with him. That's why he didn't like what they just said at all. Perhaps the only one who really disliked him was Sanemi, Iguro and Shinobu. Well, probably the kids couldn't know that, so they got angry.
The brunette sighed wearily and looked out the window, behind which the sun was setting. He clenched his hands into fists, which he hid in his pockets, and resolutely went on. The first stage of his plan will begin soon.
"A plan?"
"What's the plan?"
However, no one answered them.

"Connie, are you ready?" Emma burst into the room, beaming with a bright and happy smile. Norman followed her, smiling softly.
"Don't... I don't think. My clothes..." she looked confusedly at her dress and black jacket, and also adjusted her hat on her head.
"Don't worry! It looks great on you!" Emma said happily, admiring the girl.
"Thank you very much." she nodded. She was hugging the hare tightly. "I will try my best even when I leave home! It's all right! After all, baby Bernie is with me!"
Mitsuri, who was in a bad mood due to recent events, jumped up. She really liked this girl. She was incredibly sweet. However, right now she was too sick to say anything. Obanai, who saw how he upset his beloved, wanted to say something, but could not think of what exactly. That's why he was silent, but occasionally glanced at her.
Emma and Norman looked at each other sadly.
"You know, Bernie is special too. He's the only one in the whole world!" Connie continued, cradling the toy in her hands. Ray looked into the room for a moment, but also quickly left, so he was never noticed. "This is a gift that Mom made especially for me."
"Does he know that his actions look as suspicious as possible?" Jigoro rolled his eyes. "Couldn't he have been even more obvious?"
