It was around five-thirty in the evening when Zenitsu invited Tanjiro and his younger sister Nezuko to check out places in the city they didn't know about. They decided to meet at a local Star Ducks (yes I called it star ducks) before heading further into the city.

Zenitsu: "...I still can't believe you guys never went around the city yet. Hasn't it been like a year since you came here?" He asked with a look of confusion. He was seated down in a booth eating rice balls.

Tanjiro: "Ah, yeah... I'm pretty sure Nezuko's gone out more than I have, I usually help my mom with the bakery, and before it was just that and school so I've never gotten the chance to go out much." He replied while holding a slice of grilled cheese in his hands. Nezuko nodded happily as she munched on a loaf of bread.

Zenitsu: "Dang... that kinda sucks, well mark my words Tanjiro, I'll make sure that you and your beautiful sister see the city with your own eyes." He boldly stated before biting into his rice ball. Tanjiro smiled whilst finishing his grilled cheese before drinking his hot chocolate.

~After finishing their meals~

Zenitsu took the siblings and showed them some places to remember, such as the train station, his favorite manga store, and stayed at a shrine for the time being. There were many people at the shrine celebrating a festival. Tanjiro and Nezuko were amazed by the people in Edo period attire and the katanas resting on some walls.

Tanjiro: "Wooaaaah! These are so cool!"

Zenitsu: "I know right? You see this katana right here? It was used by an extraordinary samurai from the Tsugikuni family, he was able to wipe out his enemies with a single swing of this blade!" He exclaimed excitedly while showing off the katanas to the pair.

Tanjiro: "Really? Is the family still around?" He turned to Zenitsu with sparkles in his eyes. "Mhmm. And guess what? Some say that the ones carrying the heir are just as good as Tsugikuni! Well... one of the brothers at least..." Zenitsu answered. Nezuko stared at the two not understanding what they found cool.

Zenitsu: "Think of how cool it'd be if we were samurai back then, I'd be all like- Zoom! Blam! Slice!" He made comic book sound effects as he imitated swordsmen with katanas. Tanjiro laughed at his antics until feeling a sharp breath blowing onto his neck, he slowly turned around to see the large eyes of a hyottoko mask staring into Zenitsu's soul. Tanjiro was beyond creeped out by this. "Who the hell told you that!??" The mask-wearing man yelled. "That's not Tsugikuni's blade! It's mine!!! I made that sword you fool! It's right there on the saya!!!" He pointed at the sheath held underneath the katana. Zenitsu jumped behind Tanjiro in fear of being yelled at directly.

Tanjiro: "Uh- um... we- we're sorry sir, we didn't mean to-" His apology was cut short by the mask-wearing man walking up and stopping in front of his face. "...Um... is everything okay-"

Masked Man: "YOU'RE A TSUGIKUNI AREN'T YOU?!" A burst of rage engulfed the man, making him grip ontoTanjiro's earrings and pull on them
