Tanjiro, Nezuko, Muichiro, Yuichiro, Zenko, Zenitsu, Enmu, and Inosuke found the flame Hashira Kyojuro Rengoku who was in a different world of concentrated eating through many bento boxes. As he takes one bite, he excitedly shouts "Tasty"

Zenko: Is this guy really the flame Hashira?

Zenko whispers to her brother.

Zenitsu: Yes.

Inosuke: He's a glutton.

Tanjiro and Muichiro approaches the Hashira.

Tanjiro: Excuse me? Mr. Rengoku?

But Rengoku did not reply back. He still kept complimenting the bento box flavor.

Tanjiro: We were asked to assist you in this mission?

Kyojuro: Tasty.

Muichrio: Yeah, we heard you the first 50 times.

Rengoku looked to his right seeing Tanjiro.

Kyojuro: Hm. Green checkered Haori, red eyes, and a scar on the left side of your fore head! And you oversized clothing, green mint eyes, and long black hair with mint color tips! You two are Tanjiro Kamado and Muichiro Tokito, aren't you?!

Tanjiro: Yes, we are!

Kyojuro: I'm glad to have finally meet you two! The Oyakata has told me so much of your journeys. So, aren't you going to introduced me to your fellow comrades?

Tanjiro: Oh! Of course. This is my sister Nezuko.

Muichiro: And this is my brother Yuichiro.

They both just bowed to Rengoku.

Tanjiro: Our friends Zenko and Enmu.

They just waved at him.

Tanjiro: And I'm sure you know Zenitsu and Inosuke.

Kyojuro: Young Hashibira and young Agatsuma. Congratulations on surviving final selection with your new friends.

Zenitsu: Thank you very much.


Now the demon slayers have gotten comfortable with their Hashira, sitting waiting for their foe.

Kyojuro: So I was informed that you two are on the verge of becoming the sun and moon Hashira, was it?

Muichiro: Yes, the Oyakata said that we have to defeat at least one of the twelve Kizuki and earn your approval. 

Tanjiro: So, not to be blunt, but a long time ago, my father received a book that contained the secrets to the sun and moon breathing technique. He said it was given to him by a man with hair that appeared like flames.

Kyojuro: Then you must mean my father. One day when I was a baby, he left with a book to the mountains in far east. I'm guessing he gave your father that book which made you two what you are today, I've been hearing about sun and moon breathing styles, as well as a starting demon slayer encountering Muzan Kibutsuji.

Tanjiro and Muichiro felt happy that they were feeling acknowledge, as Rengoku continues.

Kyojuro: Regarding Sun and Moon breathing that was nearly buried, I only studied the flame breathing style that mu ancestors have used. Ever since the demon slayer corps were founded, there have always been a flame and water hashira. The six fundamental breathing styles flame, water, wind, stone, thunder, and of course moon have always been the original form since the beginning  and as time progresses, many more forms branch out creating new possibilities in this fight, as serpent for example, branches from water. All of you, what color are your blades?!
