"Tanjiro, you don't have to go. It's dangerous." Kie said as she cleaned her son's face.
"It's fine mom, I want to sell as much coal as I can so everyone can eat their fill on New Years." Tanjiro said.
Kie smiled gently at her eldest child. "Thank you."
"Nii-chan! You're going to the town again today?" Shigeru's voice was heard.
Tanjiro and Kie turned around to see the two youngest, after Rokuta, run up to them.
"I'm going with you!" Hanako said.
"No you're not." Kie said. "You can't walk as fast as Tanjiro can and since he can't use the cart today, he can't give you a ride once you get tired."
"Mom!" Shigeru groaned. "Nii-chan!" Shigeru ran up to Tanjiro and hugged his waist.
"I wanna come with you. I promise I'll help." Hanako said.
Tanjiro smiled and patted Hanako's head. "Thank you Hanako. But you're staying home today." Hanako's smile dropped when hearing Tanjiro's answer. "You too Shigeru. But I'll get you tons of goodies, okay?"
"Really?"
"Mhm."
"Okay!"
"And you too Hanako. I'll read for you once I get back."
"Okay!"
Tanjiro stood up.
"Thank you Tanjiro." Kie thanked.
Tanjiro smiled. "I'll be going now. Takeo, chop as much wood as you can, okay?"
"Sure, I'll do it. But I hoped we could do it together." Takeo pouted.
Tanjirou walked up to Takeo and petted his black hair. "There there."
Takeo was flustered from Tanjiro's affection. "What's with that all of a sudden!?"
"Hey! You're blushing Takeo!" Shigeru teased.
"I'm not!"
"There there." Tanjiro continued to pet Takeo's hair.
"I said cut it out!"
Tanjiro, along with his siblings, laughed at Takeo's reaction. Tanjiro petted Takeo's hair one last time before turning around and waving his family goodbye.
"Hurry back okay?" Shigeru yelled.
"Be safe okay?" Hanako added.
Tanjiro waved one last time and turned around, soon encountering Nezuko, who was carrying sleeping Rokuta.
"Nii-chan!" Nezuko greeted.
"Hey Nezuko."
"I was putting Rokuta down for a nap or he'd make a scene when you'd leave. He misses dad a lot after he passed away. Everyone seems to follow you everywhere you go."
Tanjiro smiled softly and gently petted Rokuta's hair.
"See you later!"
Their life wasn't easy, but they were happy. Even with their father gone, they still lived happily. However life cannot always be the same. Like the weather cannot always be the same. It can't be sunny constantly, but it won't rain endlessly either.
