Arriving at the butterfly farm, the weary hunters were greeted by Aoi, who scolded them for their recklessness on the mission and tended to their wounds. Meanwhile, Tokito went off to gather some food for the Kamado siblings.

"Alright, everyone, it's time to rest," Aoi instructed the hunters, except for Inosuke who was still full of energy. Zenitsu couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy, as Inosuke got to spend time with a girl.

⚠ Inosuke x Aoi ⚠

Aoi gestured towards a bench, signaling Inosuke to sit down. Zenitsu, feeling left out, approached Tanjiro and pouted, wondering how he could win over someone's attention.

"I brought some food for you," the young girl said, revealing a dish of onigiri. Her cheeks turned slightly pink as she offered it to Inosuke. The boar-headed boy responded with his usual grunts, but inwardly, Aoi could swear she saw a glimmer of appreciation.

"Come on, eat up!" Aoi exclaimed, her own excitement starting to show. "And... you can go now," she added, causing Inosuke to get up and leave, but not before offering a few grunts as a sign of gratitude.

Apparently, Inosuke and Aoi had developed a peculiar friendship. Zenitsu, feeling a bit left out, decided to take matters into his own hands.

"Open your mouth, here comes the choo-choo train," the blonde said as he fed Tanjiro, hoping to gain some attention.

Tanjiro, however, was less than enthusiastic about the idea. He looked at Zenitsu with a disgusted face, refusing to open his mouth.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Does it bother you?" Zenitsu cried out, clinging to Tanjiro's leg.

"Enough, Zenitsu!" Muichiro intervened, his patience wearing thin from the commotion. "Can't you see you're bothering him?"

Zenitsu's bickering was silenced, and the group continued eating their meal in relative peace. As time passed, their wounds began to heal, thanks to Aoi's care and the comforting atmosphere.

"What's that smell?" Tanjiro suddenly asked, his senses picking up an unfamiliar scent.

Aoi's face lit up with a smile. "Hello, guys!" she greeted, as two newcomers entered the scene. It was Rengoku and Mitsuri, two pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps.

"Hello!" the blond boy with red tips greeted, while the others responded in unison.

"Rengoku-san, Mitsuri-san!" Tanjiro's voice betrayed his nervousness at the presence of two esteemed pillars.

"Ah, so Tanjiro was talking about a girl!" the blond boy remarked, only to be gently nudged by Rengoku.

"Easy, boy!" Rengoku said, placing a hand on Zenitsu's shoulder with a radiant smile.

"Let's eat!" Mitsuri suggested, bringing out five benches for everyone to sit on, and serving a variety of dishes.

The meal was delicious, with Mitsuri's culinary skills impressing everyone. Laughter filled the air as they enjoyed the food and each other's company. The camaraderie between the pillars and the young hunters grew stronger with every passing moment.

Suddenly, the cawing of a crow could be heard nearby, signaling a new mission. It was time to board the Infinity Train and face the demons lurking within.

"New mission, yay!" the pillar exclaimed with excitement, grabbing the designated members and leading them away.

"I haven't been on a train in a long time," Tanjiro sighed, recalling memories of his past journeys. The others followed suit, expressing their own thoughts on train travel.

As they settled into their seats on the train, the journey ahead awaited them, filled with new challenges and dangers. But together, they were determined to face whatever awaited them on the Infinity Train and emerge victorious. The bonds between them grew stronger with each passing moment, forging an unbreakable unity among the Demon Slayer Corps.
