1st Person POV

Well I'll be damned. It really is blondie from Final Selection.

"What exactly is he doing..?"
Both Tanjiro and I are confused.

He clung to a girl, crying and yelling.
"Please, please, please, please, please marry me! You know I could die any day now! Marry me so I don't die alone! Marry me, I'm begging you, please!"

His little sparrow came to sit in Tanjiro's palm, exclaiming something I couldn't quite make out, but it was definitely very stressed.

"Poor girl, c'mon."
Tanjiro walks up to blondie and grabs him by the collar, pulling him off of the girl.

"Why are you making such a scene in the middle of the road?! She's clearly not interested in you, and you're stressing out your sparrow!"

"Wait... Your uniform... aren't you that guy from Final Selection?"
He sniffled.

"Don't go pretending like we know each other, because we don't!"

I make sure the girl's ok, patting her shoulder.
"Did he do anything weirder than that? Are you ok?"

"Yes, I'm fine now. Thank you very much."

Blondie yelled again, his cries obnoxiously loud and insufferable.

"Oh, for heaven's sake, will you shut up?!"
I yell at him, his screeches hurting my ears.

"Don't go interfering in my marriage! You orange wearing mister! The two of us are madly in love and we're gonna get married!"

She started slapping the daylights out of him, and I just held Tanjiro back, watching.
"Just give her a moment, he kinda deserved it."

We do pull her off after a bit, and blondie just keeps screaming and crying like a baby.
"When did I ever say anything even resembling that I loved you?! All I did was come talk to you while you were fumbled up and disheveled on the side of the road!"

"Uwaaaah! So are you telling me the reason you did that wasn't because you were falling in love with me?!"

"Considering that I already have a fiancé, that's exactly what I've been trying to tell you! And you seem perfectly fine now! Goodbye!"
She stomped off, still fuming.

He dropped to the ground crying until I picked him up by his haori.
"Hey! Pull yourself together, blondie! Are you a Demon Slayer or a toddler?!"

He suddenly stops, realizing something before starting to cling to my robe now.
"You're a girl! You're a Demon Slayer too! You know how we might die any moment of any day! Please marry me!"

Without even much stress, I blast him with enough air for a lifetime, blowing his hair and tears back.
"Let go or I'm hitting you with my glider."

He did let go eventually, and Tanjiro and I can't help but share a look of pure cringe as he still cries on the ground.

"Why are you looking at me like that?! Stop it! You're staring at me like I'm some sort of pitiful creature!"
