After the events of his return home Hikari had been training nonstop trying to improve himself and his breathing style but to no avail

Sure he's probably gotten stronger but strength is nothing of your breathing style isn't on par
Because of this Hikari won't be able to fight full strength against demons until finds a solution.
———————————————

It's been about two weeks since I have come home from the final selection and my blade should be arriving soon I am currently in the yard training trying to improve my breath but I still haven't made any progress I might of taken the breath of roses as far as it could go which unfortunately wasn't that far

"Hikari come to the living room"

I heard Kanae yell

"Coming"

Could this be it is my sword here

I walk into the room and see a man wearing I mask with a box in front of him

"Hello sir it's a pleasure to meet you" I say politely

"You as well young Rōzu i am Hanaka a swordsmith it's nice to finally meet the man who will use my blade"
He says

"So is that what's In the box"

"You are correct"

He opens the box and hands me a sheathed sword with a cloud shaped guard

"Please unsheathe the blade let's see what colour it is" he says and I hear I hint of excitement from him I heard the people from the swordsmith village are overly fond of there swords I guess that's true even if he try's to hide it

As I draw the blade it turns into a bright blue that fades into deep purple

"Ohh a dual colour blade very rare indeed" he says

"Ahh" kanae has a happy look on her face

"I've been wondering for awhile now I don't have any problems with the blade it's perfect I love it but I don't understand the guard it's a cloud that didn't really fit with my breath you know" I give him a questioning look

"I am well aware of that but before I made the guard I got a letter from Oyakata sama"

"Oyakata sama?" I ask

"Oyakata sama!" Kanae says in surprise

"Yes Oyakata sama"

"Who's that" I ask again

"Mou Hikari I've told you before he's the leader of the demon slayer corps" kanae tells me

"Ohh the leader... WAIT THE LEADER WHY WOULD HE SEND MY SWORDSMITH A LETTER"

"The letter was in regards to your blades guard it was supposed to be a rose to match with your breath style but he told me to change it to a cloud"

"That's weird why would he do that?" I ask puzzled

"You have had trouble with your breath of rose lately right" kanae asked me

"Ya why"

"Oyakata sama has the ability to predict the future although it is not always core t maybe he predicted you would change something about your breath" she tells me

"Change my breath but I already did that once" I complained

"It's not rare for slayers to change breaths multiple times if this is a sign that you should change something I think you should try"

"I guess"

Just then my crow popes in and started screeching

"SOUTH HEAD SOUTH TO ____TOWN THERES A DEMON THERE HURRY HURRY"
