"Before we begin the trial, why don't you explain the crime you have been accused of--" "There's no need for a trial!" Shinobu was cut off by a loud voice. "Huh?"

"Protecting a demon, is a clear violation! We can deal with this on our own! We shall execute them both!" Rengoku said.

"In that case, I'll decapitate them with style. I'll show you the most dramatic spray of blood ever! It'll be a spectacle" Tengen said.

'No way! You'd really kill such an adorable child as him? Such a thought fills my heart with sorrow' Misturi thought frowning.

"Alas, to see such a pitiful creature as this. I grieve for him. Perhaps it would have been best if he hadn't been born" Gyomei said crying.

'Um, what was the shape of that cloud again? What was it called?' Tokito said looking up at the sky.

'This boy being put on trial for protecting his sister? Why would we kill a person with such a kind heart? Even if she is a demon.' Y/n said looking at the boy sadly.

'Wait. Wheres Nezuko?' Tanjiro wondered as he looked around. "Hey you. The hashira are speaking. What are you looking at? Your eyes should be over there. These are the 10 highest-ranking swordsmen in the demon slayer corps."

"That's the hashira?" Tanjro asked. "Lest end his misery" "right!" "And lets do so with flair"

Tanjiro didn't listen as me kept looking around. "Hey!" The guy yelled at him.
"Nezuko! Where did you take her?" Tanjiro tried to get up. "Nezuko! Zenistu! Inosuke! Murata!"

"Never mind this boy. What will we do with Tomioka?" Tanjiro looked up to see a boy with a white snake. "Seeing him there without any restraints is making me feel ill. Based on what Kocho told us, he's just as guilty of breaking the corps rules." Obani said pointing. " how should we make him take responsibility? What kind of lesson shall we teach him?" He then pointes at someone. "What do you have to say for yourself, Tomioka?" Obani was kind of mad bases on his tone.

Tanjiro looked to see Tomioka standing there on the same side of him looking down at the ground. ' He's in this situation because of me.' Tanjiro thought feeling guilty.

'Iguro, you're just as sharp tongued as ever, I see. I love that side of you' Misturi thought as she looked at Obani smiling. She turned to look at Tomioka. 'Tomioka's all by himself, all stoic-like. What a cutie!' Misturi was in a trance.

"Oh, I think it's fine. He did come here without resisting. Lets come up with a penalty later." Shinobu said. 'why is Tomioka guilty again?' Y/n wondered in her head.

"What I'm more interested in is hearing this boy's story. He's been traveling with a demon alongside him, despite being a demon slayer himself. I wish to hear why, and hear it straight from the boy's mouth. What he's done is unquestionably against the demon slayer corps rules." Shinobu said looking at the boy. "You are aware of that, aren't you?" Shinobu asked.

Tanjiro looked speechless. "Tanjiro Kamado, Why are you traveling with a demon, as a fellow demon slayer?"

Tengen put his hands on his swords. "Who cares why?" There was silence after that. "You can take your time. Just answer the question." Shinobu said after that.

"- She's my-- she's my young-- *cough*" Tanjiro was coughing so he couldn't speak. Shinobu took a bottle and opened it up, and walked to Tanjiro.

"It looks like you need some water." She offers the bottle to Tanjiro, but he hesitated. He took the bottle with his teeth but Shinobu still kept it in hand.
"I can tell you've injured your jaw, please drink slowly. I added an anesthetic to the water to help."
