The revenge slayer

A family reunion

Tanjiro was able to show his resolve to the Hashira and the Oyakata, Kagaya Ubuyashiki.

Kagaya: What happened?

Aids: Tanjiro is standing. How Sanemi was treating him, and Gyomei's words on how he looked down on him, gave Tanjiro the strength to stand back on his own two feet, even with the injuries he sustained.

Kagaya: Well, that's indeed the resolve of Tanjiro Kamado.

Sanemi and Yune were shocked by how a few words were able to show how much Kagaya speaks much of him.

Mitsuri: His words, his determination! He's indeed a powerful person. *Astonished*

Tengen slowly formed a smile.

Tengen: Well, his speech was super flashy.

Kagaya: Tanjiro, despite your motivational speech, there will still be others who can't accept a sun breather. So, from here on out, you are to prove them that you can save lives with this forgotten power.

Tanjiro: Y-Yes Oyakata!

Kagaya: You have indeed shown these eight Hashira your strength, but not all. If you can show this to the flame Hashira, and defeat the twelve Kizuki, then it'll be enough for me to make you the sun Hashira. It will give you acknowledgement from everyone.

Tanjiro: YES OYAKATA!! I PROMISE TO PUT AN END TO MUZAN KIBUTSUJI AND THE TWELVE KIZUKI WITHOUT FAILURE!!

Tanjiro's face turned red feeling embarrassed.

Tanjiro: Yes Oyakata.

Half of the Hashira try to hold in their laughter with Mitsuri and Shinobu failing, however there was a noticeable blush on Shinobu's cheek.

Kagaya: The Hashira are indeed the most powerful of the demon slayer corps. They've earned the title by defying death through hellish training and returning through the painful injuries. They were even able to defeat previous Kizuki level demons. They are to be respected and treated as superiors. If you treat them as such, then they will do the same to you.

Tanjiro: Of course, Oyakata.

Kagaya: That includes you two, Sanemi and Yune. You must refrain from harassing those below you.

Yune and Sanemi: As you wish.

Kagaya: And now, the evaluation of Tanjiro Kamado is over. You may step down. For we can now truly begin the Hashira meeting.

Shinobu: So then, I shall allow Tanjiro sanctuary at my estate.

Tanjiro was very confused.

Kagaya: How come?

Shinobu: Remember that little project I was working on these past two years? (And so I can know him better.)*Blushing*

That was when he realized.

Kagaya: I see. Very well. I will allow you to put Tanjiro under your care.

That was the signal for the Kakushi to grab Tanjiro and take him away, but the boy was resisting.

Tanjiro: Wait at least let me headbutt the scarred guy for stabbing me! Just one time, and I'll leave!

But then suddenly he felt three pebbles hit his head, knocking him down. It was Doma who flung them.

Doma: Neven interrupt the Oyakata. You'll live to regret it.

He then grabbed another pebble and flicked it at Sanemi.

Sanemi: Owww!! What the hell did you do that for asshole?!

Doma: For hurting a child.

Mitsuri was just simping over the adult hashira.
