The Journey Of Revenge

Chapter 5

After the almost meet up with Kibutsuji Muzan, and the encounter with Tamayo and Yushiro, Tanjiro went back to the food stall he was at earlier.

On the way back there, he thought about what kind of punishment he would get, or how he should explain himself. The thought about those two demons also comes to his mind.

They're odd and different. He wondered how they're satisfying themselves if not by eating human flesh.

"Hey, you! Why did you suddenly run off?!"

While Tanjiro is busy with his thoughts, the food stall owner saw him shout at him for running off.

"Sorry. I'm paying up, don't worry."

"Listen here, you little brat! It's not about money! I couldn't care less about that! If you're not going to eat what I made, then piss off!"

His passion for food was something amazing.

"I'm gonna eat it. Can you make one for me again?"

"Be sure to eat it this time!"

"Yeah."

The owner went back to prepare the food that Tanjiro ordered, while Tanjiro went to the same bench he was sitting on earlier, only to be met with a familiar face.

She was eating the same food that he ordered, and she was chewing the noodles cutely. Her face is kinda puff as she took a sip of its soup. She holds her bowl with two hands, while putting the chopsticks on her legs.

"Kanao."

The person he met was none other than Kanao. She looked to where Tanjiro is with her usual stoic face. However, one could notice the difference, though.

Just earlier, her face was expressionless, and her eyes were almost dead. Just like the eyes when people are so bored. But after seeing Tanjiro, it went back to the usual, which is lighter and bigger, although still not showing any reaction.

She picked up her chopsticks and put it on the bowl. She put down her food to the bench, and took out the coun that she used to flipped before. Just like before, she flipped it, and the outcome is tails.

"Good evening, Tanjiro." She said with her sweet voice but still blank face.

These two, everyone wonder why their face isn't getting numb for being like that all the time.

"Do you really need to do that everytime you talk?"

What he didn't know though was, Kanao didn't even talked to anyone even her sisters. So it's really different when she was with Tanjiro. Even though she's using the coin to decide, she's still considering talking to him.

That alone tells the fact that Kanao actually wanted to have a conversation, although she convinced herself that that's not the case, and still decide by coin. What a stupid girl.

Anyway, the owner already prepared Tanjiro's order and handed it to him.

"Oh. You ran off earlier so I gave the one you ordered earlier to this plain girl." The food stall owner said.

By plain girl, she was talking about Kanao. Indeed, in other people's eyes she just look plain as hell.

"I see. I'll pay later after I'm done."

"Whatever. Make sure to eat it."

Kanao moved over to the side to give Tanjiro some space to seat on, which he find it strangely odd.

She strike him as someone who would rather stand up and leave, than seat with another person while eating. Get the hint, you goddamned dense fucker.

"Are you here to entertain yourself? It's a lively city, after all." Tanjiro asked, as he started eating.
