Third Person:
It has been a few years since Giyuu "passed" Final Season. Tanjiro was now 11 years old. He walked into the room where Urokodaki was seated.
Tanjiro: Sakonji?
Sakonji looked up at the boy.
Sakonji: Yes?
Tanjiro: I want to become a demon slayer!
Urokodaki looked at him in silence for a moment, but then he nodded.
Giyuu: No.
Tanjiro: Eh? Why?
Giyuu: It's too dangerous.
Tanjiro: But you're a demon slayer, are you not?
Giyuu: I'm older.
Tanjiro: You were 13 when you started training with Urokodaki.
Giyuu: ...I'm still older.
Tanjiro: Please? I really want to fight demons too! Urokodaki said I could!
Giyuu: Doesn't mean you should.
Tanjiro : ...Please?
Giyuu: No.
Tanjiro sighed.
Tanjiro: Please?
Giyuu: ...No.
Tanjiro gave up. He sadly walked back inside. Giyuu sighed.
Sakonji: Why won't you let him become a slayer?
Giyuu: It's too dangerous.
Sakonji: You were around his age when you started training.
Giyuu: I was still older. And... I'm not gonna lose anyone to demons ever again.
Sakonji: ...I think you should let him.
Giyuu: ...
Sakonji: He's only going to want to become a slayer more and more. And sure you want to protect him, but you have a job that already takes up most of your time, so you won't always be around. Wouldn't it be great if he could defend himself?
Giyuu stayed silent for a moment but then he stood up.
Giyuu: He's not gonna become one and that's final.
Urokodaki sighed. Giyuu began to leave.
Sakonji: Where are you going?
Giyuu: Hashira meeting. Say bye to Tanjiro for me.
And just like that Giyuu had left. Urokodaki sighed. He heard footsteps and saw Tanjiro walking in the room.
Tanjiro: Did he really leave that fast?
Sakonji: Yep. He said bye.
Tanjiro sighed he looked up at Urokodaki with pleading eyes.
Tanjiro: Can you please train me?
Sakonji: I would, but Giyuu refused the idea of that happening.
Tanjiro: ...Then let's not tell him?
Sakonji: You want me to train you behind your brother's back?
Tanjiro: Please Sakonji? I overheard you and Giyuu talking for a bit. You did bring up some good points. It would be great if I could defend myself. If you taught me your skills, and I showed that to Giyuu, then he'd have to be convinced that I could be a great demon slayer!
Urokodaki thought about it for a while.
Tanjiro: Please?
He then finally made his decision.
