Second person's POV:

"Get lost, will you?! I'm not giving you that key, no matter what! And don't think I'm ever going to show you how to use it!", the kid yelled at Muichiro. You hum slightly and look at the doll behind the kid.

'I wonder why Mui-kun wants to have the key to that doll', you thought. Tanjiro just looked at them confused.

"What's going on? Are those two fighting maybe? What should I do? It's bad manners to eavesdrop! But if they're fighting, I should try to mediate", Tanjiro mumbled to himself while you just chuckled.

Suddenly, Muichiro slapped the kid. You deadpan while Tanjiro was shocked. The kid fell to the ground and Muichiro picked him up by his collar. Tanjiro couldn't stand still and yelled while running towards them. You just followed behind him, walking at a normal pace.

"Cut it out! What do you think you're doing? Take your hands off him!", Tanjiro yelled at Muichiro. You stood behind Tanjiro and looked at Muichiro's face, which was super unbothered.

"Your voice is very annoying. Who are you?", Muichiro said, completely ignoring his demands. Tanjiro frowned.

"How could you do that to a little kid? Take your hands—", Tanjiro tried to pull his hand away from the kid but he didn't even budge.

"Take your hands off me", Muichiro said before elbowing Tanjiro in the stomach. Tanjiro fell down and caught his breath. You blink a few times before crouching down to his level.

"Tanjiro-kun, are you alright?", you asked and pat his back before standing up straight.

"Mui-kun, that wasn't very nice of you", you said as you shook your head. Muichiro's eyes widen slightly before having sparkles in his eyes.

"Y/n-chan...you're also here?", he said while still holding the kid's collar. You sigh a little as you cross your arms.

"Mui-kun, could you please release the kid. It's not nice to threaten little children", you said. Muichiro looked at you and then back at the kid before sighing and letting him go. Muichiro looked at Tanjiro who was still catching his breath and then at the box he was carrying.

"I'm getting a strange vibe from that box. A demon's presence, perhaps? What's inside?", he stuck out his hand in attempt to open the box before his hand got slapped away by an angry Tanjiro.

"Don't you dare touch it!", Tanjiro yelled at Muichiro before grabbing the kid by his shoulders.

"Are you alright?", the kid had tears in his eyes even through the mask. He then pushed Tanjiro away.

"L-let go of me!", he said and turned around while sniffing.

"Get out of here! I'm not...I'm not giving that key to anyone! Not even if you torture me! No way! One more time, and it's going to break down!", the kid said while looking at the doll. You looked at the doll closely and saw that the "skin" of the left side of the doll's eye was missing. Or more like, it broke off.

"Have you been through torture training? Even most grown-ups can't take it. You'd never last. I can see that you're stupid beyond belief", Muichiro said nonchalantly to the kid. You sweat-drop at his straightforwardness.

"So what if it breaks down? Just make another one. How many people do you think will perish while you drone on and on about trivial matters? That's what it means to obstruct a Hashira in his duty. A Hashira's time is worth far more than time spent by you people. If you just think a little, you'll eventually get that, won't you?
