(Tanjiro's POV)

I suddenly woke up. I quickly jolt up and observes my surroundings. I notice Zenitsu and the kids was beside me.

I say, 'What happened when I am out?'

They reply, 'No. Nothing happened. Is just the boy laying on the ground unconcious and you suddenly fainted.'

I say, 'Ok. Lets go and bury all the dead people in the house. They need a proper burial.' I quickly get up feeling a bit tired and start digging hole. The kids help me to gather some stones and Zenitsu helps me to dig some hole. I went into the house and carry all the dead bodies outside, then me and Zenitsu bury them all. The kids surround the buried bodies with rocks. Suddenly the boy is awake. He jolt up and immediately search for an opponent to fight.

He looks at Zenitsu and yells, 'Lets fight!' while chasing him.

Zenitsu yells, 'You're going to fight the moment you wake up?! I really can't deal with this!' He immediately runs toward me and hide behind me.

The boy stops and yelled at us, 'What are you guys doing!'

I reply casually, 'Burying the dead of course. Oh, I forget to ask you something. What's your name?'

He yells, 'Fight me again! I want to prove myself that I am stronger than you!'

I say in frustration, 'Enough already! I can't fight you! I'm too tired! I said already, demon hunters can't fight each other!'

He replies, 'Hey, wide forehead! My name is Hashibira Inosuke! Remember that!'

I calm down and say, 'Okay Inosuke, you should come and help to bury too. There was a bunch of people killed in that house.'

He shouts, 'It's pointless to bury the remains of living organisms! Who would even think to do that?! I'm not helping you! Compared to that, how about you fight me!'

Zenitsu thinks, 'Uwah... This guy really does have brain problems. How can he say it's pointless...'

I look at him with a sad eyes, 'Is that so... It's because your wounds still hurt... That you're unwillingly to help, right? It's okay. Everybody has different levels of pain tolerance. We need to dig holes after carrying the dead outside the house. Burying people is a tiring job. Zenitsu and these kids are all very capable, so it's okay. Inosuke, you should just take a well earned rest.'

Shoichi and Kiyoshi thinks, 'That's not what he means...' with a trail of sweat dripping from their faces.

Tick marks starting to appear on Inosuke face and he yells, 'Huuuuh?! Don't underestimate me! No matter if it's a hundred or two hundred people, I'll bury them all! I'm better grave-digger than anybody else!' He starts to rush into the house and carry all the body outside. He buries all of them very fast. After all that work, the burying comes to an end. One the way down the mountain, Zenitsu keep insisting that he wants to take Shoichi with him.

Zenitsu says, 'Shoichi is very strong! Shoichi protect me!'

I hit his neck and scolded him, 'Can you see that Shoichi is unwillingly to come?!' He went unconcious. After that, the crow spat out an incense bag that smelled of wisteria since it's able to repel demons. It will be carried by the "rare blooded" Kiyoshi.

They kids give their thanks to us, 'Thank you all so much. We are able to return to our home by ourselves.' I wave at them to send my farewell to them.

The crow suddenly says, 'Alright, follow me! Cawww!' We followed the crow while I am carrying Zenitsu that is unconcious. I start a chat with Inosuke.
