Inosuke and Zenitsu were watching Tanjiro play an intense round of the cup game with Kanao.

Zenitsu: Incredible...

Inosuke: Look at them go!

They kept going until Kanao was able to grab a cup.

Aoi: That's it!

Tanjiro: (sigh) You sure are fast, Kanao.

Kanao just looked at him.

Aoi: Your score is now ten wins and ten losses.

Tanjiro: I'm still up for more. Let's go for a run.

He looked at Zenitsu and Inosuke

Tanjiro: Want to join me?

Zenitsu: You mean while doing Total Concentration, Constant?

Tanjiro: Yeah.

He hit Zenitsu in the chest, but Zenitsu still stood.

Zenitsu: I gotta keep this up?

Inosuke opened his shirt.

Inosuke: Do me next!

Zenitsu hit him in the chest repeatedly.

Zenitsu: How's this?

Inosuke: That's nothing!

Zenitsu: you're more brawn than brain!

Tanjiro: Let's go!

Elsewhere.

Y/n was sitting on a tree.

Y/n: (Narrating: Meanwhile. As my friends were still training, I couldn't shake the feeling there was something off.)

Y/n got an image of a young man with feminine facial features being dropped in an alleyway with vains visible on his face and drolling. Y/n quickly shook his head and his hawk landed on his shoulder.

Hataki: Is something the matter, Master Y/n?

Y/n: Yeah, let's get going.

Y/n jumped down and moved along the path.

Back at the Butterfly Mansion.

The three boys were awoken by Tanjiro's crow.

Crow: The casualties of the Mugen Train. More than 40 are missing as it currently stands. You are to join Kyojuro Rengoku and Y/n L/n on site. Head west at once, at once!

In the morning.

Tanjiro was walking through the halls with his usual smile.

Tanjiro: All right, time to go!

Tanjiro saw a shadow of someone around the corner.

Tanjiro: (Thinking: Someone's coming.)

The person bumped into Tanjiro.

Tanjiro: (Thinking: He was really adamant about bumping into me. Wait, this guy...)

He turned his head to see it was Genya, but he got taller and more muscular, and he wore a purple tunic over a dark green Demon Slayer uniform.

Tanjiro: (Thinking: Was he at Final Selection?)

Tanjiro remembered when Y/n broke Genya's fingers.

Tanjiro: (Thinking: He bulked up a lot in such a short time. There's something else... his scent...) It's been awhile! Glad to see you're doing well!

Genya completely ignored him.

Genya: (Thinking: That dumb ass should know better than to act buddy-buddy with me after what his dumb ass friend did.)
