Tokito ran through the forest carrying Kotetsu

Muichiro: You're sure its this way?

Kotetsu: Yes! We're almost there!

He continued until

Muichiro: There he is.

He saw a fish demon clawing at a tree with Kanamori up in a branch holding a cleaver

Kotetsu: Mr. Kanamori!

Tokito dropped Kotetsu and dashed at the demon slicing it in half killing it

Kanamori: Oh! He slashed in in the blink of an eye!

Tokito flicked his blade

Kanamori: Lord Tokito! Thank goodness!

He climbed down to meet his savior 

Kotetsu: Mr. Kanamori!

Kanamori: Young Kotetsu!

The two reunited

Kanamori: Thank goodness you're safe! To be honest, I thought you'd be dead by now!

Kotetsu: Same here, Mr. Kanamori!

Muichiro: So, you're Kanamori?

Kotetsu: Mr. Tokito, this is Mr. Kanamori.

Muichiro: Do you have a sword for me? Give it to me now.

Instead of doing that Kanamori bent down and inspected the blade 

Kanamori: Oh my! Look at this! Its quite badly chipped! 

Muichiro: That's why I came to this village.

Kanamori: I see! I see! I do have a sword ready for you, so let me give it to you right away!

He stood up

Muichiro: You don't waste time, do you?

Kotetsu: I'm happy for you! You should be thankful!

Kanamori: Tanjiro and Zane asked me to take care of it. Your sword, that is. They also said I should be understanding toward you.

Muichiro: Tanjiro? Zane?

He looked down slightly

Muichiro: They said it, huh?

Kanamori: So, I checked up on the first swordsmith who served you-

Kotetsu: Mr. Kanamori! Mr. Kanamori! We have to head to Mr. Haganezuka's! If he's under attack by those demons-

Kanamori: Oh, that's right! Come on, I'll show you the way to my work shed!

He and Kotetsu ran off as Muichiro followed slowly 

Kanamori: I'm worried about the village! Since you're a Hashira, I want you to take that sword... And go to their aid as soon as possible!

He gasped for air

Kanamori: Its that shed over there! Thank goodness! I don't see any fish monsters! I was working in that shed! The sword I'm supposed to give you is inside, too! Please take it and rush to where the chief is!

Muichiro: No, I cant.

Kanamori: Huh? What's that?

Tokito pulled on Kanamori's black haori stopping him as Kotetsu bumped into the Hashira

Kotetsu: Ouch! You're so annoying!

 Tokito paid him no attention as he got more serious than normal

Muichiro: Its here.
