Tanjiro has finally arrived at his school with Rengoku by his side. "Rengoku!" Rengoku look his best friend come from behind and wrap his hand around his shoulder. "Oh hi Uzui." Rengoku said. Uzui notice Tanjiro by Rengoku other side. "Hello there Tanjiro!" Uzui said and wave his hand at the same time. "Hello Uzui sensei." Tanjiro said while bow as the respect. "Young Kamado... You can go ahead to your class first. See you." Rengoku said. "Oh okay. Goodbye sensei." Tanjiro said and leave.

Uzui notice his buddy is blushing a lot. "Hehe~. Have you do that with him?" Uzui said asking with his smirking face. "No." Rengoku said. Wait. Rengoku look at his friend confuse and a little bit of shock. "Don't tell me you already do that with that yellow hair boy?!" Rengoku said shocked. Uzui close Rengoku mouth.

"Shush! Not too loud!" Uzui suddenly notice that Rengoku was glaring at him so he let go of Rengoku mouth. "S-sorry..." Uzui apologies. But he still not giving up and yet still want to know if Rengoku did any movement on the Kamado boy. "So... When will you make a move~?" Uzui said. "No." Rengoku said and Uzui huffed annoyed. "Well... not yet~" Rengoku said and smile like a psychopath. Uzui like that side of him and also smirk.

Tanjiro just arrive at his class. He saw Kanao talking to Aoi. "Kanao!" Tanjiro call the girl. Kanao look at Tanjiro and he was blushing a lot. Tanjiro sense a shy scent from Kanao. He keep wondering why every time he get near Kanao he keep smell those shy scent. Could she be sick?

The class start with art class. "All right class! Bring your book and go to the art room." Aoi said which is because she is our class monitor. All the students pick up their things and start walking out from the class. "Tanjiro." Tanjiro hear Zenitsu voice as he turn around to see Zenitsu coming closer to him with Zenitsu art book in Zenitsu hand. "Yeah?" Tanjiro ask continue preparing his item.

"Inosuke still act weird since the day Mr. Rengoku come to our store that day. Did you know if something happen to him?" Zenitsu ask. "I don't know. I'll ask him. You can go to art room first." Tanjiro said to Zenitsu. Zenitsu nod and go. Aoi notice that Tanjiro and Inosuke still in the class. "Tanjiro. Inosuke. Quick!" Aoi said. "Umm you guys go first. I'll bring Inosuke later." Tanjiro said. "Okay then." Aoi said and all the students start to move to the art room.

Tanjiro get near Inosuke. Inosuke head in laying on the table and his face was covered by his hand. Tanjiro could scent a scared feelings from Inosuke. Tanjiro pat his friend. "Inosuke are you alright?" Tanjiro ask with a smile on his face. Inosuke slowly look at Tanjiro as he slowly nod. "Are you sure? You look scared." Tanjiro ask. "I'm fine." Inosuke said. "Then we should go to art room. The class still going." Tanjiro said and give a smile Inosuke. "Fine-" Inosuke stop talking. Tanjiro could see the fear in his eyes. Inosuke was looking at something. Tanjiro was very confuse and that was time he decided to look behind but he only saw Rengoku standing at the door. This feeling is almost the same when Rengoku come to his cafe and Inosuke got scared like he saw a ghost. What actually happen to Inosuke?

"Kamado boy, why are you late to your class?" Rengoku ask to Tanjiro with a smile on his face. "Umm.. I want to take a look at Inosuke. He doesn't look fine." Tanjiro said. "I see. Then how about letting him rest at the rest room?" Rengoku said. That time, Inosuke suddenly get behind Tanjiro and grab Tanjiro shirt very tight. "Inosuke?" Tanjiro ask. "D-don't.." Inosuke whisper. "Huh?" "Let's go to class!" Inosuke yell as he grab Tanjiro wrist and pull him out from the classroom. Inosuke keep pulling Tanjiro to the art room. Inside the classroom, Rengoku was glaring at nothing. Inosuke look like pissed him off or something.

Inosuke and Tanjiro arrive at art class. Uzui notice them coming and get mad. "Oi you two! Get sit and draw anything you like. Next time don't be late to my class!" Uzui said madly. "Yes sir!" Tanjiro said and both Tanjiro and Inosuke get on a sit. Tanjiro was been bothered by what happens earlier. Did something happen between Rengoku and Inosuke?

During the rest time, Inosuke have been stuck with Tanjiro for almost at the entire time. He haven't let go off Tanjiro after they back from the art class. Tanjiro look at Inosuke. "Umm Inosuke why did you keep sticking on me?" Tanjiro ask and put a smile on his face to the black blue hair boy. "I... Mister Rengoku keep staring at me. I think it be better if I'm a bit close to you. I guess.." Inosuke said lowering his head. "Mister Rengoku is watching you?" Inosuke nod when Tanjiro ask him. 'Maybe I should ask Mister Rengoku about it.′ Tanjiro thought himself.

The school ended very well. The students going to their own home. Inosuke get near Tanjiro. Tanjiro sighed as he already know what is it. "Soo... Let's go home shall we?" Tanjiro smile at Inosuke and Inosuke nod happily. He was lucky to have a friend like Tanjiro who always be there for him.

Tanjiro sent Inosuke to his home. "Oh my. Thank you soo much Tanjiro. Inosuke have been really scared to go anywhere alone. I hope you be by his side as always." Kotoha which is Inosuke mother said to Tanjiro as a thanks for bringing Inosuke back home. "Oh it's okay. It be a good thing too to go back from school with my friend." Tanjiro said as he smile brightly on his face. "Hehe. Such a kind boy you are." Kotoha said.

"Well well who we have here?" Suddenly a man appear from the back of Kotoha. He was really tall. A blonde hair. Rainbow eyes. And a weird smile. (You guys know who😏) "Umm. Sorry if I'm behind rude but may I ask who are you mister?" Tanjiro ask while smiling. He try to get a long with that guy. "You can call me Douma little boy." The man said. "Okay then. I take my leave now." Tanjiro said and bowing. "Please give my hi to Kie." Kotoha said. "Okay." Tanjiro said.

Tanjiro take his leave as he slowly walk away. Inosuke get inside together with his mom. But Douma he... still looking at Tanjiro from far until he disappear from his look. And no sudden, he smirking. "A hanafuda earrings right? Master Muzan prey." Douma said to himself. Instead of going inside, Douma close the door from outside and slowly follow Tanjiro.
