Giyu bow in front of the master of Demon Slayer Corps in respect.

"Master, I have returned and I'm here to report about my mission"

"Giyu, I'm glad you are safe. You can now sit and tell me about your mission" The master said

Giyu sit and starts to report everything that happen including how guilty he was for not arriving earlier to atleast help Y/N fight off their enemy.

" Don't worry about leaving the Corps Giyu for letting them both live. The truth Giyu is I'm actually surprise your mission is connected to Kyojuro's request yesterday"

"Request master?" Giyu ask curiously

"That's right. Rengoku Kyojuro came here to report about his mission yesterday and he requested a number of Hashiras to help the swordswoman named Kamado Y/N protect her remaining family from Kibutsuji Muzan who is hunting them down. They left a half day earlier before you arrived" The master explain "Looks like only 3 of them survived the attack. This is the first time Muzan took interest in killing down a family by himself"

Giyu's eyes widen

'I thought the massacre of their family was done by an Uppermoon but I didn't expect the Progenitor himself. But why?'

"I know you're wondering why. Based on Kyojuro's report yesterday, her family use a certain breathing technique and has been passed down every generation together with hanafuda earrings. I've also read the records of Ubuyashiki Family back in sengoku era and indeed the Hanafuda earrings was used to be owned by the First Sun Breath User that almost end Kibutsuji Muzan"

"You mean... They're descendants of the First Sun Breath User?" Giyu ask with surprise

"Maybe not. The First Sun Breath user doesn't have successors. Maybe her ancestors were taught by the Sun Breath User himself and gave them his Hanafuda Earrings"

Giyu feel astounded by what the Master explained about Y/N's family.

"Does that mean.... Kamado Y/N.... fought Muzan by herself? S-she survived and got herself injured critically"

"Giyu..." The master said softly

"Yes master? "

"You must not let anyone know about the connection of Kamado Family to the Breath of the Sun. Don't let anyone know you let the two demon from Kamado family live but for now atleast. We'll tell other hashiras when the time is right. We mustn't let Kyojuro know that she's still alive. I hope you will understand, my child" The master said

"Understand Master"

The sun is already at the peak and Tanjiro is following Urokodaki with Nezuko inside the basket on his back. Urokodaki is already far at front and Tanjiro is already catching his breath just to catch up to him. Tanjiro look at Urokodaki and he seems to run with ease even after the long distance of running from the mountain.

'He's so fast! Just how old is he anyway? And like earlier, I'm not hearing any footsteps at all!' Tanjiro thought 'N-no! I won't give up! I'll do my best to be as strong as Neesan! After all Neesan is so awesome and I want to be like her!'

Tanjiro run with determination even though he's tired.

'Nezuko, I know it must be jarring, but please be patient! Well... Being patient is all you've ever known' Tanjiro thought while recalling how Nezuko always fix her old kimono instead of buying a new one 'I swear I'll turn you both back into a human! I swear I'll buy you a beautiful kimono someday Nezuko. I swear, I'll fight and train with you Neesan on how to improve my swordsmanship so I can be as strong as you someday!'
