chapter 50

"we've arrived! we've arrived! work hard." the crow cawed as tanjiro walked up to someone's estate.

he slowly opened the door and he was immediately greeted by the sound of someone saying,

"i can't take it anymore." someone tiredly panted.

"what are you saying? if you can't do this, you'll get eaten by demons in no time." a monotone voice stated.

tanjiro smiled and walked in, tokito-kun.

he watched as muichiro beat someone in training, the lower ranked slayer on the floor.

"imagine this is a real combat, you already died three times. even if you get hit, move quickly. get back to your stance immediately." he said as the other low ranked slayers got back up.

they got into a fighting stance and so did the hashira, "keep up with me."

was all he said before beating them again, none of them standing a chance.

"you died again. remember, don't stop even if someone gets killed." proceeding to beat the remaining slayers.

"once you stop, you'll also get killed."

he diverts his eyes to the door and his cold demeanor immediately fades away as he smiles,

"tanjiro! i've been waiting for you." he happily said.

tanjiro sweat dropped at this, "you seem well."

"hmph! you guys are useless! i hope you get eaten by demons and die!" muichiro's crow said.

the other slayers got pissed, "this crow again."

"what are you looking at? you small fries!" the crow blabbed.

"it's tokito-kun's kasugai crow. she's rude as always." tanjiro said.

"you're annoying." a slayer said.

"shoo-shoo!" another added, shooing the crow that is flying above them.

"huh?! shut up! i'll peck your eyeballs out!" the crow threatened.

"that's a bit too much." another crow with a red pin on its wing stated.

"they're all useless!" muichiro's crow reasoned.

tanjiro looked at the other crow, since when did that crow get here?

he turned back to the mist hashira, he almost passed out when he suddenly saw another hashira next to muichiro.

"tomioka-sama!" he looked like he saw a ghost from the shock on his face.

"are you alright, tanjiro?" the woman asked, patting muichiro's head.

muichiro leaning in to her touch, tanjiro took a breather and smiled nervously.

"i'm alright, i was just a bit shocked. i didn't notice you anywhere earlier." he explained.

she chuckled, urging the boy to go further inside. once he was a bit closer, she also patted his head.

"i've been here the whole time." was all she said, tanjiro paid no mind as he too leaned in to her touch.

she gives off such a motherly aura, i remember my mom.

"will you be training with us?" he asked.

y/n shook her head and answered, retracting her hands from the two.

"muichiro here just wanted my company while he's training the others. since my training is only at night, i see no problem in staying here if he wants."

"you are my mother." muichiro pouted like a child, y/n only continued to pat his head as she nodded.

"then, i look forward to training with you, tokito-kun!" tanjiro happily stated while bowing.

muichiro smiled, "likewise, tanjiro."
