"Hello my beloved children." He simply addressed them as he walked in. The two younger girls lead him to the front.

"Good morning to you all, the weather is strickling nice today." He introduced kindly, starting with a simple yet polite question.

I watched as all the Hashira got on one knee in respect, Kyojuro signaling for me to do the same. Sanemi was quite rude though and just threw Tanjiro down to the ground. It made me slightly angry, yet I remained composed.

"I am pleased to see you in good health as well master." Sanemi said in a polite manner.

"Thank you, Sanemi." The master simply thanked.

A second ago, he was the rudest and most disrespectful person in this room and now he's totally different. Must have multiple personalities or something like that. I thought in frustration. Mitsuri also seemed a bit frustrated. Oh, that's right, I remember now. She wanted to be the one to welcome the master back home. That's it.

"If I may master, before we start the Hashira meeting, would you mind enlightening us about this swordsman, Tanjiro kamado, accompanied by a demon?" Sanemi asked kindly.

"Right, I apologize for startling all of you. About Tanjiro and Nezuko, I've sanctioned their situation. I would appreciate it if you would all accept this condition." He simply explained.

"Even if it's what you desire, master, I cannot agree to it." Gyomei opposed.

"I'm flamboyantly opposed, as well! A demon slayer traveling with a demon is unacceptable!" Tengen opposed as he pointed to himself.

"I shall do whatever it is you wish master!" Mitsuri said graciously. At least she's not opposed!

"I'm fine either way, since I'm going to forget anyway." Muichiro said without a care in the world. Well at least he wasn't opposing right.

Shinobu and Giyuu on the other hand remained silent as did I as I was not entitled to an opinion.

"I won't trust them. In the first place, I loathe demons." Iguro simply answered as he pointed to Tanjiro.

"Although I respect you with all my heart, that's an incomprehensible notion, Master! I oppose it with everything I've got!" I looked at my Sensei in shock, although I knew he'd be opposed at first. It's okay, later he'll be swayed by Nezukos amazing ness!

"The demon slayer corps mission is to annihilate demons. I request that you penalize both Kamado and Tomioka!" Sanemi said, clearly displeased with the masters answer.

The master brought his eyes towards one of the young girls.

"The letter." He simply said.

"This is a letter received from a former Hashira. Sakonji Urokodaki. I shall read you an abridged version." The girl said bringing everyone's attention to her.

"Please allow Tanjiro to be accompanied by his sister, a demon. Because of her resilient mental strength, Nezuko has not lost her human emotions. Even in a starved state, she never devoured humans. And this has held true more than two years later. Although the situation seems somewhat far-fetched, it is an indisputable fact. In the even that Nezuko does assault a human, Tanjiro Kamado, as well as.... Sakonji Urokodaki Giyuu Tomioka will atone by commuted Seppuku." I heard as the young girl read the letter. Every word hitting me with such emotional impact.

I looked to see Tanjiro crying. It must be such a relief that he has people backing him up and supporting him through this hard time in his life. Such a moving feat. I began to feel a bit moved and inspired myself, but we all know who ruined it.
