This chapter may be longer than the other ones
"Muichiro found a clue as to where Giyuu might have gone!" Genya yelled. "Now get your a** to Oyakata-sama's place ASAP!" And with that, Genya bolted out of the room. Sanemi's eyes widened as the information sank in. A clue? Was it possible? He ran to where all the other hashiras, including Tanjiro, Nezuko (she conquered the Sun BTW), Zenitsu, Aoi, Inosuke, Kanao, and Y/N were standing.
"Can you believe it Y/N?! If he's alive, we could find him!" Nezuko said to Y/N.
"I know right?!" Y/N replied. Y/N was wearing their corp uniform, a haori with Shinobu's butterfly design but Rengoku's colors. His/Her/Their sword was a bright blue - representing Bubble Breathing.
"I hope Tomioka-san is alright and alive!" Mitsuri exclaimed.
"I'm sure he is, Kanroji-chan," Obanai said.
"The master has arrived." Kagaya came out, everyone bowed right away.
"Tokito, you said you had found a clue?" He asked.
"Yes, I have. Let me read it." Muichiro stood up, took out the note, and read it to everyone.
"Thank you Tokito." Kagaya said.
"The note reads, 'Dear Hashiras and Tanjiro's team, I'm sorry for lashing out and leaving like that. If you find this note, 1) It may have been over a year, 2) I may or may not be dead, and 3) if I am alive, I'm in Musutafu. You can try to find me there. Even if you find me, I may not want to come back. I'm sorry everyone. CGF5lySinZODjjMWXyrrMaEqaHzYJhwSeWAIMIp8A3IKNiiXbgHf0R8tiZQH1xVUHSjjs12vJgFx1nF20x1nZuKUdWGqdK97j83qRJ2EWYYr4ZJ124a8dRL2Jk+p1+PX
That's encrypted text. I wonder if you'll crack it. If I am dead,
Shinobu, thanks for taking care of me when I got injured. Please take good care of Tanjiro and his team for me.
Tengen, be the man you've always been. Live your life flashy, like you have wanted to.
Rengoku, keep that big bright smile of yours. Tell your little brother that he will be a fine person if he follows the path he thinks is right.
Mitsuri, be the woman you want to be. You've always reminded me of my older sister, and I hope you will grow into a strong woman.
Obanai, take care of Mitsuri for me? I know you two are close, and I pray it stays that way.
Muichiro, you're strong for a young boy. You'll grow up to be a strong man I know it.
Sanemi, you've always been strong since you joined the Demon Slayers. Stay that way, or try to get stronger ok?
Gyomei, being blind has never stopped you has it? Keep being the strong and wonderful man you've always been.
Tanjiro, you reminded me of Sabito. The way you've always smiled and kept working hard to defeat the Demon King.
Nezuko, you're a demon, but you're a demon who protects humans. That's a rare thing to see these times.
Zenitsu, try to become stronger and face your fear. You're a demon slayer for a reason, so please, try to become stronger for me.
Inosuke, you've been strong your whole life, and I know you want to become stronger. I know you can become stronger.
Kanao, Tanjiro told me about a few things, and when he told you to follow your heart. Everyone can do it, and so can you.
Aoi, I know you're a helper, but there's a flame in your soul that wants you to fight. I know you can build up that courage.
Genya, keep being the strong boy you are. Take care of yourself and your brother.
Y/N, you've been kind to everyone around you, even me. Keep holding on to that pure light of yours.
Oyakata-sama, I hope that one day, Muzan Kibutsuji will be defeated. I hope you have a good life, no matter what.
I am sorry if I am dead, but don't be sad about the loss if I am dead. Keep pushing on, and you will one day defeat Muzan.
-Giyuu," Muichiro sniffed. He was beginning to cry. "Tomioka..." Muichiro fell to his knees. Shinobu had her hand over her mouth, her eyes widened and shaking. (Like when Tanjiro asked if she was mad during the Rehabilitation Arc in season one)
"I will do my best..." Tengen whispered to himself. Rengoku was smiling, but not like normal. He was crying at the same time.
"I will make Tomioka-san proud of me!" Mitsuri exclaimed. Waves of tears streamed down her face. "L-like a big s-sister would."
"I will protect you with my life Kanroji." Obanai hugged Mitsuri as she cried.
"He... he was like an older brother to me..." Muichiro said. "I will grow up into the boy you want me to be Tomioka." Muichiro thought to himself. Sanemi had tears down his face, speechless.
"I will pray that his soul is safe, alive or dead. Namu Amida Butsu." Gyomei prayed.
"T-Tomioka-san..." Tanjiro said, voice cracking (Basically Tanjiro at Rengoku's death, but he's saying "Tomioka-san" instead of "Rengoku-san" also, sorry for all the spoilers t-t) Nezuko was tearing up as well. Zenitsu vowed to himself that he would do his best for Giyuu. So did Inosuke. Kanao knew that she could follow her heart even more, and felt more confident about it. Aoi promised that she would do her best. Genya promised that same thing.
"I will stay kind... for you Tomioka-san," Y/N promised, tears streaming down his/her/their face. Even Kagaya was shocked. His shocked face softened into a smile.
"I will be joining the land of the dead soon. But thank you," He said, looking at the sky.
"Hey, what does the encrypted text say?" Tengen asked.
"I don't know..." Muichiro said.
"Hold on, at the beginning of the note... it said where he was!" Muichiro's eyes widened once Genya mentioned it and looked at where the note started.
"If he's alive, he's in Musutafu!" Muichiro shouted.
"That's over 200 km away! If we want to get there asap, we need to take a bullet train." Shinobu exclaimed.
"I know a nearby station we can go to! The Tatooin Station! It'll get us there in around 20-30 minutes." Mitsuri mentioned.
"Then let's go! The quicker we can get to Musutafu, the quicker we can get to finding Giyuu!" Y/N declared.
"I'll stay behind, to protect Oyakata-sama." said Kanao.
"Same here." Genya agreed. "We need some demon slayer to protect him."
"Alright, if you're coming along, let's go!" Gyomei told everyone else.
"Thank you for staying by Genya and Kanao." Kagaya thanked. Genya, Kanao, and Kagaya's family watched as everyone followed Mitsuri to the Tatooin Station, disappearing into the forest.
