Tanjiro quickly run to the cafe.

At his way, he was accidentally bump into someone. Tanjiro look up to the person and notice the person just by looking at the guy rainbow eyes. It was Douma, Inosuke father.

Douma smile at Tanjiro. "Why hello there, Tanjiro kun~" Douma said. Douma help Tanjiro to get up. "Oh hello Douma san." Tanjiro said as he get up. "Why are you running so fast?" Douma ask Tanjiro while putting his smile on his face. "I want to go meet my friend." Tanjiro said. "Inosuke too? No wonder why he run out so fast." Douma said as his voice sound like he want to laugh. "Umm. I have to go. Bye Dauma san." Tanjiro said and leave as Douma just wave his hand to the boy. "Now, should I follow him? I have to finish my job after all." Douma said.

Tanjiro arrive at the cafe and start to catch some air for a moment. He saw that Kanao, Nezuko and Inosuke has already arrive. "Looks like we have to wait for Gents and Zenitsu." Tanjiro said. It took ten minutes before Genya and Zenitsu arrive.

"So what did you call us for, Tanjiro?" Zenitsu ask. "I want to give this to you guys." Tanjiro said and start to open one small box that inside it has five bracelets with different colours. "Oh my brother! Where did you even get this?" Nezuko said and take one of the bracelets. "I got it from someone but I just got too much so I want to share with you guys." Tanjiro said. "Thank you Tanjiro." They all said to Tanjiro.

Tanjiro look at Kanao az he remember something. "By the way, Kanao. I think we can start to open the shop again." Tanjiro said and everyone look at him in shock but happy at the same time. "Really? When?!" Nezuko ask happily. "Next week. We have to prepare everything first." Tanjiro said. "That's great that we can open the shop again." Genya said. "I want to bake those bread with Tanjiro again." Inosuke said also happy. "We gonna be busy at the first day, I guess." Zenitsu said sighing. "We are working together. As long as we do together, it possible for everything to be easier." Kanao said. "That's right. I hope we can do it." Tanjiro said.

A Week Later

They finally open the shop again. Like how Zenitsu said, the shop was very busy. Many costumers come at once. Many of them asking why they hadn't open the shop before but they all just said that they was busy a bit.

"Zenitsu, take this to table 12" Tanjiro said. "Okay." Zenitsu said taking the food to table 12. "Thank you. Hope you will come again." Kanao said while guarding the door. "Genya, take my job." Kanao said to Genya that helping Tanjiro in the kitchen. "Okay." Genya said. "Inosuke switch with Kanao." Tanjiro said to Inosuke that doing the drink. "Alright." Inosuke said and go to the kitchen to help Tanjiro.

5 Hour Later

It's been a hour and finally they can rest. "Great work you guys." Tanjiro said with a bright smile on his face. "This is tiring. I want to go home fast. How long do we have before the next opening?" Zenitsu said. Nezuko look at the wall clock that was hanging above the shelf. "We have 1 hour. The next opening will be open for 3 more hours." Nezuko said resting on the chair while drinking a strawberry juice.

The next opening come. Like how it know how it would be. Many costumers come. They all busy. Keep changing eachother job. Different with Tanjiro who almost only be in the kitchen all the time. 3 hour passed. The cleaning everything before going home first of course.

*Ding*

Everyone not paying the attention to the door at first because busy want to go home fast. "We sorry but we're already closed-" Nezuko said as she turn her face to the door and ended up seeing Rengoku with someone that Nezuko could not know. "Sensei. We already closed. You should come tomorrow." Kanao said. "Is that so? Then I want to meet Tanjiro for a moment." Rengoku said. "Brother!" Nezuko yell to the kitchen.

"Yes?" Tanjiro said as everyone saw him at the kitchen door. Tanjiro notice the two people. "Ah! Rengoku san, Akira." Tanjiro said and run to the two. "Who is she?" Kanao and Nezuko ask Tanjiro pointing to Akira. "Oh. You meant 'he'." Tanjiro said. Kanao and Nezuko was a bit silent for a moment and suddenly all of Tanjiro friend shout in shock. "This person is a guy?!" Genya said pointing at Akira. "There would be no way!" Zenitsu said yelling at Tanjiro. "Ah.. but it's the truth." Tanjiro said. Tanjiro look at Akira. 'Is there even anything need to be confused? I meant... I also thought that he was a girl before.' Tanjiro thought.

Akira look at Tanjiro. He look at how close his friends to his 'Master'. Those smiling face is hiding something behind it. A very mysterious thing what very ready for something.

"I'm sorry. Can have Tanjiro for some time?" Rengoku ask. Nezuko wouldn't want that. Her brother has been hanging out with this teacher almost everyday! Tanjiro was not home too much nowadays. She doesn't know what they do to meet everyday. Tanjiro also has been sleeping at this guy house! Nezuko felt like this person want to take Tanjiro away.

Tanjiro notice the weird expressions Nezuko made as he scent the combination of the anger, sadness and scared emotions inside her.

He get to Nezuko. "Nezuko, tell mom that I would come home late." Tanjiro said as Nezuko widen in shock. His brother gonna go again?! "B- But.." "Don't worry. I'll be home before ten pm okay?" Tanjiro said. Nezuko has no word more and slowly nod while looking down.

Tanjiro face to his friends. "The money we got today is much enough. I will arrange the money for everyone. You guys come to my home tomorrow at 12 am." Tanjiro said. "Fine with me." Kanao said. "Okay then I'll come to your house tomorrow." Genya said. "Me too. Bye guys." Zenitsu and Inosuke said. "Bye!" Tanjiro said. His friends and Nezuko has already leave. A bit silent for a moment.

Tanjiro quickly jump to Rengoku as Rengoku catch Tanjiro with a big smile on his face. Happy to see Tanjiro. Akira also smile a bit. Suddenly, Akira sense something. Not far. It keep coming close. He was glaring outside the shop window. In the dark place (since it's already night).

Tanjiro notice at what Akira doing. "Akira, is there something wrong?" Tanjiro ask. "Rengoku, I sense something outside." Akira said. "Same here actually." Rengoku said still have his smile on his face. "Doesn't matter if they want to face me." Tanjiro was shock a bit. "But if they want to come to Tanjiro..." Akira suddenly smile or smirk a little like he know the next word of Rengoku. "They're the one that gonna dead." Both Akira and Rengoku said.
