Kid: Get lost, will you? I'm not giving you that key no matter what!
Behind him was the figure though its face was cracked revealing a wood-like skull
Kid: And don't think I'm ever going to show you how to use it!
In the bushes stood Zane and Tanjiro watching them argue well it really was just the kid
"Hyottoko"
Tanjiro: (What's going on? Are those two fighting, maybe? What should I do? Its bad manners to eavesdrop! But if they're fighting, should I try to mediate.)
Then the kid was suddenly chopped making him fall over shocking the two as Muichiro picked the kid up
Zane: Cut it out!
He ran over to them
Zane: What do you think you're doing? Take your hands off him!
He grabbed Muichiro's wrist
Muichiro: You're voice is very annoying. Who are you?
Zane: How could you do that to a little kid? Take your hands... Off.
He slowly with struggle managed to release the kid
Zane: (He's thinner and younger than me, yet really strong! Is this what a Hashira training regimen is worth?)
Muichiro: You take your hands off me.
He quickly moved to elbow Zane in the gut even though Zane managed to block he was still forced to let go and fall to the ground due to Tokito's surprising strength
Muichiro: You're quite weak. Its a wonder you got into the Demon Slayer Corps.
Tanjiro crouched down to Zane as Tokito noticed something looking at the box
Muichiro: (I'm getting a strange vibe from that box. A demon's presence, perhaps?)
He reached out
Muichiro: What's inside? That box there?
His hand was suddenly slapped away
Tanjiro: Don't you dare touch it!
Tokito looked at his hand for a second then to the kid but only found his jacket
Muichiro: They took him?
Zane and Tanjiro checked on the kid
Tanjiro: Are you all right?
Kid: L-Let go of me!
He pushed them away
Tanjiro: You must be dizzy. That's dangerous!
Kid: Get out of here! I'm not... Giving that key to anyone! Not even if you torture me! No way! One more time, and its going to break down!
He looked to the figure who hasn't moved a single inch
Muichiro: Have you been through torture training? Even most grown-ups cant take it. You'd never last. I can see that you're stupid beyond belief. So what if it breaks down? Just make another one. How many people do you think will perish while you drone on and on about trivial matters?
The three gasped lightly
Muichiro: That's what if means to obstruct an Hashira in his duty. A Hashiras time is worth far more than time spent by you people.
The kid was almost crying by this point
Muichiro: If you just think a little, you'll eventually get that, wont you? Swordsmiths cant fight. You cant save lives. Because making weapons is all your good for.
