M/n walks out the headquarters after Himejima had proposed an idea, something that can level up the whole members of the organization. M/n sighed, it was a Hashira training where everyone is assigned to train lower ranked demon slayers.

Rengoku and Uzui conducts training in basic stamina, Mitsuri handles flexibility, Tokito with quick movement training, Obanai with sword skill revision followed by Shinazugawa with pounding training, and last with Himejima with muscle reinforcement. Three Hashiras didn't participate with the training and those are L/n, Kocho, and Tomioka.

It's understandable in Kocho's situation, both the excluded males aren't, M/n refused to train lower demon slayers and Tomioka claims he's not like them.

"Ara ara, Moshi moshi L/n-san." Kocho suddenly appear as M/n stopped from his tracks to observe the woman, he can clearly read her like an open book "what's pissing you off, Kocho?" He queried walking with Kocho as today is his regular check up, at first Kocho was surprised on how he can read her like a book but as the day goes by she got used to it and opened up to the blaze hashira

Out of the 9 Kocho, Kanroji, and Kyojurou are the ones M/n in good terms with. "It's nothing~" she chirped as they enter her estate, and M/n quickly noticed the smell that linger in the air "A demon?" His gaze shift to Kocho seeing as her smile hasn't falter yet.

"Whom are they?" They walked continuously and Kocho just smiled "Oyakata-sama made me work with them, but I just can't stop it." She opened the door to her clinic and saw two demons, one whose a lady and a boy, they quickly bow to the two hashiras.

"It's pleased to greet you, Insect and Blaze Hashira." Kocho's anger increased which did not go unnoticed by the demon boy as he narrowed his eyes at the insect Hashira "There's no need to bow, please raise your head." Being M/n as M/n he walked towards the two and motioned for them to stop bowing.

"Thank you, My name is Tamayo and he is Yushiro, it's nice to work with you." M/n stared at the Tamayo for a second, admiring how of a beauty the demoness is 'She's much more beautiful than mother...' the two who was left on the side and their eyes widen at a smile that blessed itself on the blaze hashira's face.

"Pleased to work with you too, Lady Tamayo. You two may proceed." Kocho squirt her eyes from the sun as the two demons nodded and hurridly went back to work " I never knew you can make that expression." Kocho remark as M/n sat on the stool in front of the insect Hashira.

"It's something you don't see all day Koch," he looked up "at least appreciate what's given special." Kocho chuckle genuinely "Hai!" Kocho began to do her check-up in the blaze hashira, giving him another bottle of pain killers.

M/n left the estate and walked by his lonesome on a quiet road 'They're all busy' quietness was all M/n had met for the past few weeks, he would visit Tamayo and Kocho for his regular check-ups, he would bring Senjuro time to time whenever he goes out to visit the town, Kyojurou would sometimes visit his estate whenever he has free time.

Then one faithful afternoon as M/n is attending the plants in front of his estate he heard a familiar voice calling his name out "Wah! L/n-sannn!! Nice to see you here!" Tanjiro smiled brightly as he approached the Hashira and bows, M/n stared at the burgundy boy and pats his head "pleased to see you this afternoon, Kamado." A smile grace it's lips, ruby pools eyed the boy as a pink hue brushed itself on his face.

"L/n-san, are you not doing Hashira training like Tomioka-san?" M/n went back attending his flowers humming in response to his inquiry "Ettoo.... L/n-san..." M/n glanced to the young boy "Do you know about Hinokami Kagura?" He asked fidgeting with his fingers.

"Hinokami...?" M/n rose his brows eyeing the short male "Yes! Or like Sun Breathing!" M/n eyes widen as a memory clicked in his mind, minutes of silenced has passed worrying the young boy as there were no movement from the Hashira.

"Yes..." Finally he answered earning a shock expression from Tanjiro "Eh!! Really! May I know more about it?" M/n looked troubled as he starts pondering, trying to remember the time where his sensei what taught him about the said breath style "I know little but I do have a book about it..." Tanjiro shine in happiness.

M/n sweatdropped "Come and follow me... Whose Hashira are you attending for training next?" Tanjiro thought and confessed "Himejima-san!" M/n hums as the two entered the estate.

"It's been years since I last heard that breath style... Ryūji-san tried to train me to perfecting the sun breathing but I never did, instead he taught me the blaze Breathing." M/n explained while the two walked through the corridors, stopping into one of the room and opening it.

It was a small room, one table with paper written and books on the shelves which placed on the side, M/n approached the shelf pulling out an old orange book "My sensei Ryūji-san gave me this, please take it and attend it with care."  Tanjiro's eyes widen "Eh?!? Are you sure about it M/n-san?!"

M/n nodded and Tanjiro blushed bowing in a way to hide his reddened face "Thank you very much M/n-san! I promise to take care of this book very well!!" M/n smiled and Pat Tanjiro "Thank you, Kamado."

The two left the estate "Good luck with your training with Himejima-san, Kamado." The aforementioned name smiled "Hai!" As he turned around and take his leave a rock had falter his walk as his eyes widen waiting for the ground make contact with his face but instead he fell on something soft, or something soft caught him.

He opened up his eyes and first thing he saw is M/n's worried face, other than that Tanjiro blushed from the proximity "Are you alright, Kamado?"
