On a rural path through a field. Tanjiro's kasugai crow gives him instructions. 

Crow: "South-southeast! Your next location is south-southeast!" 

Tanjiro: "I heard you! I heard, so give me a break and quiet down! I'm begging you! I got the message, so please!" 

Zenitsu: "Please!!" 

Tanjiro: "Wha! Huh?" 

Tanjiro turns to see Zenitsu harassing a girl nearby. 

Zenitsu: "Please! Please! Please! Please marry me! I could die any day, you know! That's why I want you to marry me! So please! Please! I'm begging you!" 

Tanjiro: "Wh-What's up with that? What on earth?" 

Zenitsu's sparrow flies over to Tanjiro.

Tanjiro: "Woah..." 

Zenitsu's sparrow makes frantic flapping motions.

Tanjiro: "Huh?" 

Zenitsu's sparrow continues making frantic motions as Zenitsu harasses the girl. 

Zenitsu: "I'm begging you!! There's no one else! You're all that I have!" 

Tanjiro: "Okay... Okay... I see! Gotcha! I'll do something about it!" 

The girl pushes Zenitsu away from her. 

Zenitsu: "Please help me! Please marry me! I'm begging --" 

Tanjiro pulls Zenitsu away from the girl. 

Zenitsu: "Gah!" 

Tanjiro: "What do you think you're doing right in the middle of the road?! Can't you see she wants no part of you?! And don't go making trouble for your sparrow, either!" 

Zenitsu: "Ah... That uniform! You're that guy from the Final Selection!" 

Tanjiro: "No one I know is anything like you! I don't know you!" 

Zenitsu: "What?! But we met, remember? We met, remember?! You're the one with the problem! Like your memory!" 

Tanjiro recognizes Zenitsu from the Final Selection. He lets go of Zenitsu's collar. 

Tanjiro: "All right, it's been taken care of. You can head home now without any worries." 

Girl: "I will. Thank you very much!" 

Zenitsu: "Hey!! Stay out of my way! That girl is going to marry me! Because she's in love with me, all ri --" 

The girl slaps Zenitsu across the face. 

Zenitsu: "Wha... Gah!" 

The girl continues slapping Zenitsu on the head. 

Zenitsu: "Hey! Ouch! That hurts! Stop it! Stop it! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!" 

Tanjiro: "H-Hey, calm down!" 

Tanjiro holds the girl back from slapping Zenitsu more. 

Zenitsu: "Ahhh!!"

 Girl: "When did I ever tell you that I loved you?! You were crumpled up on the side of the road looking ill, and all I did was speak to you!" 

Zenitsu: "What?! You mean you didn't reach out to me out of love because you were worried?!" 

Girl: "I already have a fiance, so not on your life! With all that energy, you must be fine now, right?! Goodbye!" 

The girl storms off. 

Y/n: "She's never going to check on someone again."

Y/n's Crow: "Yep."

Zenitsu: "W-Wait, come back! Come..."
