All the hashiras have been executing their missions very well ever since the hashira meeting. Hayami herself has gone on patrol nearly every night. The sun had risen up, and the peace hashira was calmly pacing around the butterfly estate.
Aoi was right by her side as she had to tend to the injured demon slayers from last week's incident, including Kamado Tanjiro. Hayami wondered how they were doing under Aoi's strict commands. Hayami had her haori washed earlier in the day, hence she merely wore her demon slayer uniform without it. The peace hashira turned to look at the young girl, she was able to watch Aoi grow the past few years since she met her for the first time. Her hair was still in the same pigtails, with two butterfly hair pins inserted in each ponytail.
Hayami helped fill a small cup with a mixture of herbal tea and medicine for the demon slayers Aoi is treating. Shinobu really was such a bright hashira, she is able to create poison to kill demons slowly and brew up medicine from medical herbs to help cure the injured demon slayers.
As she entered the room, Hayami could see the three young boys that lay on the hospital beds. Tanjiro was at the very end, next to him was a body whose head seemed to be hidden under the large boar head, and on the bed nearest to the door was a boy with bright yellow hair that faded into a darker orange color. His eyes were downward-sloped and faded from a soft brown to gold. His arms were nowhere to be seen under the hospital clothes they all used.
His eyes widened at the sight as the females walked into the room, his face seemed frightened as he turned a pale blue.
"No! I can't swallow it!" He yelled out as Aoi attempted to hand him the cup filled with medicine, tears flowed down his face in discomfort. Little Kiyo stood behind Aoi, she too was confused as to how the boy would be able to heal faster without him wanting to consume his medicine.
Aoi frowned at the boy who had turned away from her, she placed both her hands on her hips as she scolded him, "I had to put up with this every day since you came here critically injured Zenitsu-san. So take your medicine, now."
"So this was the Zenitsu that Tanjiro mentioned last week," Hayami thought to herself as she smiled softly at the sight of Aoi still being the strict girl she grew up to be. Zenitsu stared at the cup he held with his very small hands, his face doesn't seem to be ecstatic to consume it.
Both Aoi and Kiyo approached Tanjito with his own medicine as Hayami soon followed, "Tanjiro-san, here's your medication" Aoi stated as Kiyo handed him the cup Hayami filled earlier.
"Here you go," Kiyo said, to which the young boy thanked her before taking a sip.
As he pulled away from his cup, whines, and complaints from Zenitsu can be heard "Oi! Tanjiro's medication is easier to swallow! It's different from mine, right?! You're being biased here, you're biased I say!!".
