Hours had gone by. The Captain of the Mizunoto and the rest of the Mizunoto rode too every house in the village that were half invited to the ball, and so far no one in the village weren't able to fit the glass show on anyone and they were heading to the last home that was in the forest.

"We must leave no stone unturned!" The Captain of the Mizunoto exclaimed to the other Mizunoto.

As the Mizunoto made the last turn to the finale home in the forest the two stepsiblings were very excited.

"There here!" Yabaha exclaimed, looking from the window of the living room.

Back in the attic...

Tanjiro sat by his window he knew he wasn't able to do anything, he couldn't jump down for it is a high fall until, he didn't notice that Nezuko and Chuntaro and the rest of his bird friends came out from under the bed.

"is he gone?" Chuntaro chirped.

"Nezuko! Chuntaro!" Tanjiro exclaimed, happily.

"Hpm!" Nezuko muffled, happy to see her brother.

"What are you doing here?!" Tanjiro asked.

"What are you doing here!" Chuntaro chirped. "Muzan came up the stairs, so we hid under your bed till he went away!

"But It took forever!"

"And we saw what happened he locked all of us in here!" Flap chirped.

Back down stairs...

"Gentleman, what a wonderful surprise!" Muzan said, smiling.

"A moment of your time sir." The captain said

"Certain! Come this way." Muzan responded, leading the both of them towards the living room.

Back in the attic...

At this point, Tanjiro didn't know who was down stairs, nor did he care, he had lost all of his hope, for surely no one came to see him.

Back down stairs in the living room, the Mizunoto handed the glass shoe to Yahaba for him to try it on, but The shoe didn't fit

"It shrunk" Yahaba stated as he tried to fit the shoe on his foot, but it just won't budge.

"Careful!" the Mizunoto said.

"Oh enough!" Susamaru exclaimed, pushing her brother a side.

Susamru tried on the glass shoe and budged it in a little to hard, causing her toes to bleed and shocking the Mizunoto.

"Bad luck ma'am." The Mizunoto said.

Even though Tanjiro was sad, his spirit was not broken, he sang a lullaby that his father use to sing to him every night.

Tanjiro spun around the attic, he knew that the ball and his time with, Giyuu would become beautiful distance memories like those of his mother and father and his golden childhood.

As Tanjiro kept singing in a gentle tone, sitting near the attic window, Nezuko opened the window for at least for one of the Mizunoto hearing it.

Back down stairs the Captain of the Mizunoto and the rest of them were just about to leave.

"Very well, our task here is done." The captain said.

"and fate yet be kind to us." Muzan said.

Back in the attic.

Tanjiro followed, Nezuko's lead as he kept singing.

Just as the other Mizunoto slayers and thier Captain were about to leave, they heard singing from distance. At that point Muzan knew that the Captain and the rest of the slayers heard the singing so he tried to just ignore it.

"Do you hear that?" The captain asked one of his slayers.

The Mizunoto didn't say anything.

"Let's be off, Sir." The Mizunoto said.

"Just a moment." The Captain said.

The captain looked at Muzan who slowly closed the door, trying to ignore the situation.

"Sir." The captain spoke up. "There's no? other servants in your house?" He asked.

"No." Muzan answered.

"Then has your cat learned to sing?" The captain asked in a serious tone.

The cat just meowed.

"Oh!" Muzan chuckled. He hoped he singing would stop.

"It's been enough acting, Sir! let's be off." The Mizunoto said.

"But he's lying!'" The Captain stated.

"I trust the man." The Mizunoto.

"Fellow Mizunoto." A familiar voice was heard from one of the guards.

Both the Captain and the Mizunoto turned to see who it was, it was Hashira Giyuu!

Giyuu pulled out his Haori  and put it back on.

The Captain and the rest of the Mizunoto bowed down.

"Hashira!" Muzan whispered, bowing down a bit.

"What sweet singing, makes me want to tear just a little." Giyuu said

"Master Tomioka!!! I-I-I" the Mizunoto stuttered.

"Captain would you be so kind as to investigate?" Giyuu asked the captain of the Mizunoto.

"It would be my pleasure, Master Tomioka." The Captain replied with a smile and a bow.

Giyuu smiled back.
