The Journey Of Revenge

Chapter 10

When the sun had risen, the Kakushi are still not done with their job. But because it's already morning, the two Hashira, along with Tanjiro decided to leave the mountain since they have nothing to worry about any demon attacks anymore.

But just in case, and because someone needs to lead the Clean Up Team, Kanao volunteered to be left since it wouldn't take another hour for them to leave, too. And she has no business in the headquarters, so had no reason to come with them.

Besides, that place is not something anyone can just walked in and out. It was the place where the master of the demon slayer corps live.

When Tanjiro asked what will happen to Inosuke and Zenitsu, Kanao reassured him that they will be taken to their mansion for a further more recovery. Especially since Inosuke was in a really bad state.

"You're quite an unfortunate guy," The Insect Hashira exclaimed as they started making their ways in the headquarters.

This it the first time she talked to Tanjiro throughout the night.

"Why is that?" Tanjiro asked.

"Because you were summoned at the same time as Hashira's meeting. You'll meet the others." Shinobu replied.

Tanjiro couldn't smell any ill feelings on her towards him, but she could smell the scent of an irritation towards Tomioka this whole time. He had no guts to ask about that, and it's not his business so he kept his mouth shout.

"Are they gonna hurt me or something?" Tanjiro joked as he scoff.

"I'm not talking about that. A few of them are quite a strict person, so you'll have a hard time adjusting over there."

"I don't really care about others," Tanjiro said as he closed his eyes and shrugged his shoulders.

Shinobu just smiled at him, but Tanjiro could smell something behind that smile which made him sweat drop.

'He and Tomioka-san are a lot similar in attitude and way of talking. I really hate that.'

It appears that she wasn't angry or mad at Tanjiro, but to Giyu. Her dislike to Tanjiro's personality is more like because of Giyu. She was wuite dissatisfied with their attitudes. It gets on her nerves.

So whenever she felt pissed at Tanjiro, it most likely that that hate went directly to Tomioka.

"What is the master like, Tomioka-san?" Tanjiro asked.

"You can see it for yourself later. I don't think it's necessary for me to clarify what kind of man he is."

"You see here, Kamado-kun... Tomioka-san is an unsociable person. He's a mood breaker."

Tomioka just kept silent. Throughout the walk towards the headquarters, only Tanjiro and Shinobu are the ones talking. When Tomioka was brought into a conversation, he just replied to them with a very few words like "Yeah" and "I see".

It ticked off Shinobu to no end. She was even expressing how annoyed she is towards him.(remember, Kanar is alive, so her attitude will be different than canon)

"This is exactly why no one likes you, Tomioka-san. It's because you're such a dick."

"I'm not being disliked. Stop saying nonsense."

"You stopped saying nonsense! It seems like you have no sense of awareness around you. Well, I have such a big mouth for saying something new to you. I apologize."

"Kanroji and Kocho are always acting all friendly towards me, though," Tomioka rebutted.

"Wow, just wow~! Are you really that numb?! They're clearly acting like that towards everyone, you know!"
