In the taisho era, a young girl named Rimuru, encountered a powerful demon but managed to escape at the cost of the lives of those she calls family, and was taken in and adopted by a kindhearted family of charcoal makers.
One day, while helping her...
This taisho era secret is a bonus chapter taking place after the events of the mugen train, when Rimuru went to train with Muichiro to develop her own breathing style.
3RD PERSON POV
A month passed after Rimuru started training with Muichiro and had almost finished developing storm breathing.
As the sun was setting, Rimuru was currently sparring against Muichiro, where she was thrown into a tree from blocking the hashira's strike.
Rimuru: Augh!
Muichiro approached Rimuru, who was slumped on the tree.
Muichiro: Are you alright?
Rimuru: im fine
Muichiro held out his hand.
Rimuru held Muichiro's hand, and she was pulled to her feet.
Muichiro looked down with an apologetic expression.
Muichiro: im sorry about that
Rimuru: it's fine, dont worry about it. You're helping me develop my own breathing style, getting a little brush I expected
Rimuru dismissed Muichiro's worries and gave him a little sense of relief.
Muichiro: Let's stop for today. Let's go find a whisteria house in a nearby town
Rimuru: *nod* right!
The two began walking towards town to find a place to stay where they saw the town was littered with stalls, and everyone is dressed in kimono.

Muichiro: What's going on here?
Just then, their crows perched on their shoulders.
Ginko: it looks like some sort of festival
Raphael: Judging by the time of the year. They're getting ready for a Bon festival
Muichiro: Bon festival?
Raphael: it is a festival where people honor the dead
Muichiro looked around and saw the smiles on people's faces.
Eventually, his gaze fell on Rimuru, who appeared to want to join in the festivities.
Muichiro: Do you wanna check it out, Arashi?
Ginko: What!?
Rimuru: Really?
Rimuru looked at Muichiro with stars in her eyes, causing him to blush and look away.
Muichiro: Why not
Rimuru: Alright!
The two slayers began wandering through the festival.
