"My children, please do welcome our newest Hashira... Tomioka, Giyu... the Water Hashira..." Ubuyashiki says

(Ooh~ A new Hashira, how exciting! There are now four of us!) Kanae thought

After the meeting, he's just simply standing still, lost in his thoughts

"Ara ara~ Hello there, Tomioka-kun! I'm Kanae Kocho! The Flower Hashira!" Kanae greets enthusiastically as she offers her hand

"Uhhh... hello... nice to meet you... too..." Giyu returns the greet as he shakes her hand

"How are you today?" Kanae asks

"Oh... well... I'm fine... thank you for asking..." Giyu replies with a stoic face

Kanae giggles

"Well, if you say so Tomioka-kun~ But I sure do hope you like it here!" Kanae says as Giyu slowly nods

(Not exactly so far...) Giyu thought

"I have a feeling you and I are going to be good friends, Tomioka-kun~ Say, do you have a specific goal you have as a Demon Slayer? Or a dream, perhaps?" Kanae asks as she tilts her head

"I... don't really have a goa... Demon Slayers do provide protection... so I guess that's my goal... or dream... Giyu replies

"I see! For me... personally, I want to meet a peaceful Demon! To be honest, I'd go so far as to say that we should coexist!" Kanae says proudly

The two Hashiras stay silent for a good few seconds... until...

"Foolish..." Giyu says as Kanae sighs

"I know... everyone-

"But at least you have a goal... or a dream... I don't have one, and I don't really... agree with your goal... but, I do respect it... and... if it helps... I will even defend that... you have the right to have such a goal..." Giyu states

Kanae looks at him in surprise, stunned and silent

"I have to go... goodbye, Kocho..." Giyu says as he turns around and walks away

Kanae stays silent

Kanae's goal and dream was foolish indeed, but that was the first time that someone ever said such a thing about it... no one ever said that they respected it or that they will defend it... she had to see him again




The next day, morning

Giyu is currently sitting calmly, alone in his estate

"..." Giyu said nothing, duh
