Unknown house in Asakusa

"I must say Tanjiro, you bear a striking resemblance to someone I knew... It's quite uncanny"

"The only person I looked like is my dad.... No way she knew Yoriichi" Tanjiro thought

"I suppose there's no harm"

"Say... would the persons name be Yoriichi?"

Tamayo looked extremely shocked at the revelation while Yushiro was simply confused on why a name would get such a reaction.

"How-how do you know that name??" Tamayo stuttered out

"I would've answered you right here if you weren't demons, so you must understand if I'm unwilling to tell such information" Tanjiro responds

"You dare accuse us of working with Muzan!!" Yushiro shouts while trying to punch Tanjiro in the stomach

Tanjiro had other plans though and merely stepped back to avoid the punch that surely would've laid him out.

"Wait... you said Muzan's name and you aren't dying. How?"

"Allow me to explain, long ago when Muzan was still a recently turned demon   he turned me and made me his personal assistant, I hated him for it he tore me from my life and made me a demon. A year or so later a man by the name of Yoriichi who looked like the splitting image of you, encountered me and Muzan. He effortlessly defeated Muzan, however, Muzan split himself into thousands of pieces and while I watched Yoriichi destroy most of them he told me that enough existed to form a brain. I was angry that Muzan hadn't been eradicated and I, for a lack of better terms threw a temper tantrum. Yoriichi spared me upon witnessing my reaction, and ever since then I've been working towards finding a way to defeat Muzan, along the way I found Yushiro mortally wounded and turned him into a demon to save him, with his wishes of course."

"Wait that doesn't explain how you broke free of his curse"

"When he was almost killed by Yoriichi, his weakness at the time allowed me to break the curse and since Yushiro was turned by me the curse didn't pass on" Tamayo explain

"So Tamayo-" Tanjiro started

"THATS LADY TAMAYO!" Yushiro shouted while hitting Tanjiro on the back of the head, only to receive a glare from Lady Tamayo

Tanjiro, not really having his guard up at this point wasnt expecting the hit and was gingerly rubbing his head.

"Yushiro do not hit our guest please" Lady Tamayo scolded

She then turned to Tanjiro

"Would you like some ice? I know Yushiro can be a bit rough" Tamayo said comfortingly except for the last part in which she shot another glare at Yushiro

"No-no it's fine" Tanjiro said while still rubbing his head

"In that case let me answer your question"

"But I didn't ask one?" Tanjiro said inquisitively

"You were probably going to ask how do you know if we haven't killed humans before, right?" Lady Tamayo said knowingly
