When the two Kakushi arrived at the butterfly mansion, they entered the courtyard and announced their presence hoping someone would allow them to enter the building.

After a few seconds of waiting, a girl wearing white knee level leather boots, a butterfly hairpin, a slightly purple Demon slayer uniform and white cloak appeared in beside them. It was of course, Kanao Tsuyuri. Tanjiro was relieved that she wasn't injured and waved at her.

Male kakushi: "U-uh Miss Tsuyuri. May we bring these two in?"

As soon as she saw the weak and injured Tanjiro, she blew a huge sigh of relief.

Kanao: "Tanjiro! Thank goodness you're okay!"

Tanjiro: "It's good to see that you're okay too."

She quickly ordered the Kakushi members to bring him in and placed his body on a medical bed in one of the many medical rooms. Coincidentally, the room that he was in was the same as where Zenitsu and Inosuke were resting in. They too were lying on medical beds next to each other. By the time Tanjiro had arrived, both of them were fully conscious and awake.

Shinobu had also arrived and whipped up a bottle of medicine for Tanjiro to drink. She handed the bottle to Kanao who brought it over along with a a cup of slightly warmer water to Tanjiro's room. When she entered, the loud screaming of Zenitsu was the first thing she heard.

Zenitsu: "NOOOO!!!! I'D RATHER DIE THAN DRINK THAT SHIT!!! SAVE ME!!!"

Aoi was the one feeding Zenitsu the medicine. She had been tolerating Zenitsu's whining for a few hours and she had had it with him. With all her might Aoi raised her right hand and gave him big tight slap on the cheeks.

*SMACK*

Zenitsu: "OOOOOWWWWWWW!!!! THAT HURTS!!!!"

Tanjiro: "Jeez Zenitsu, calm down!"

Zenitsu: "No! I'm not drinking that and THAT'S FINAL!

Zenitsu continued to whine, and whine, and whine. But while he was opening his big mouth, Aoi took the opportunity and picked up the cup and forced the medicine down Zenitsu's throat. Zenitsu did not like that.

Zenitsu: "NNOOOOOOOO!!!! THE TASTE!!!! SPARE ME!!!!! DONT DO ME LIKE THAT!!!!"

Aoi: "I'm out!"

Aoi stormed out of the room sick and tired of having to deal with Zenitsu's whining. She slid the door shut and Zenitsu felt bad for a second.

Tanjiro looked at a bed with a lifeless looking Inosuke in his boar mask lying down on it. He didn't even know whether he was awake or asleep but could smell the scent of defeat and the lack of strength.

Tanjiro: "Hey Zenitsu, is he alright."

Zenitsu: "Oh him? Yeah... he's super bummed out about not being able to kill that many demons and that he finally realizes that he's not the strongest person. Hahaha! Now that I think about it, it's funny how things turned out after his stupid talk. Haha."

But then Inosuke spoke but with a dead ass tone.

Inosuke: "Hey... I'm sorry... for not being strong... I'm weak..."

Tanjiro: "Hey~ don't say that. You'll make yourself feel worse."

But suddenly, someone slid the door open and revealed a familiar looking face.

Tanjiro: "Murata! You're fine!"

Murata: "Oh... hello Tanjiro. I'm alright thanks to you. I also heard about Lower Moon 5. You really are strong."
