TANJIRO'S FACE WAS BEET RED AS HE HELD THE KATANA IN HIS HANDS.
you lean over his shoulder slightly.
he slowly unsheathes it, revealing a terribly chipped blade.
both boys fall to the ground, you just deflate slightly.
"of course! it's been three centuries since anyone cared for it. sorry to dash your hopes.."
you blink as tanjiro sits up, tears were streaming down his face.
"it's all right... i don't mind"
"whoa! tanjiro! tanjiro.. i apologize!" kotetsu squeaks.
but you sweatdrop as a large figure approached.
"what the-?!"
you blink owlishly, it was a shirtless, extremely bulky haganezuka.
"waaaah! who is that?!"
"haganezuka?!"
"i heard everything! leave it to me!"
"leave what to you?!"
he attempts to take the sword, tanjiro and kotetsu try to hold it back, you just watch from the side in confusion.
"hey! let go of that! why are you trying to take it away?!" tanjiro screeches.
"leave it.. to me.."
"no! this is kotetsu's!"
"leave it to me!"
"explain yourself, haganezuka!"
"leave it to me!"
"no! what are you doing?!"
"i said leave it to me!" haganezuka shouts, pulling the katana from their grip and knocking them both away.
"waaah! a grown-up shouldn't act like that!"
you catch both the boys, pulling them away slightly.
"boys and girl! haganezuka's weak spot is his sides! right here!" another swordsmith who had just come shouts, you blink, it was kanamori. haganezuka was no bundled up on the ground.
"oh! kanamori! long time no see!"
you bow slightly.
"it's been a while, you two" he waves, "tickling haganezuka immobilises him for a while. let me explain. please, forgive haganezuka. he was secluded in the mountains for training"
you frown slightly.
"training?" tanjiro questions.
"yes. so he can create a stronger blade for both of you so you won't die. he won't admit that, though"
you smile slightly.
""for us..?" tanjiro smiles widely, cheeks pink.
"you've been getting swords from him for a long time.. and i think he was happy about that. most swordsman detest him, so he isn't in charge of the same ones for very long"
you sweat-drop.
"oh really?" tanjiro sweats.
"his interpersonal skills suck! that's why he never got married"
you blink as haganezuka quite literally pops up from his spot.
"oh.. he's back"
he stands up, veins pulsing. he does some weird hand movements, "i will take this tarnished katana... and polish it using the nichirin katana polishing art of the haganezuka family"
you deadpan.
"you should have said that from the start!" kotetsu huffs, "we didn't trust you and all you'd say was, 'leave it to me!' like some idiot who can only say one thing!"
haganezuka lifts kotetsu up by the front of his collar.
"his sides, his sides!"
"his sides!"
