    It was a sunny day, 07:32 AM, Tanjiro was in front of the office door of his adored boss, Shinjuro Rengoku.
He doubted whether he should enter or not, he had been the secretary and assistant to the older man for years, however, now Shinjuro had asked to speak with Tanjiro about something really important, more than what he could think.

Tanjiro for some reason was very nervous and worried, he was afraid of what his employer was going to say to him, however, he gathered his courage and finally entered the office. I mean, how bad could it be?

【●●●】.......

"I am going to retire, Tanjiro, tomorrow you will no longer have me as your boss."

"What?" was the only thing he could release.

"I know it sounds sudden but I decided it's time to give my position to my eldest son, Kyojuro."

"Kyojuro?"

"Yes, my son"

Of course, Tanjiro didn't know anything about Kyojuro, he heard about him but never saw him, since Kyojuro was studying at a university in the United States and was coming to take his father's position in the company, it was obvious that Tanjiro didn't know the boy, but he did know the youngest son of Shinjuro Rengoku, that is, it was as if Tanjiro had lived with Senjuro.

Although he still did not understand his boss's sudden change of plans, why do everything so quickly or why that impulsive change of "now Rengoku Kyojuro will be the boss"?

However he could not oppose his boss's decision.

"Kyojuro will come tomorrow morning, I hope for that, you are already prepared."

"Yes.. sir, I will be." Tanjiro said without complaint.

11:34 PM

Tanjiro had just arrived home, he left work at 11:00 p.m. but his house was a bit far away, to which he arrived a few minutes late, it was normal for him.

When he opened the door, the first thing he saw was his little siblings laying on the sofa in the main room, asleep with the lights off but the TV on, on the other side he looked away and saw his sister Nezuko asleep in a chair with her head on the table, apparently she was reading a book.

Tanjiro sighed and made a small, weak smile, he was exhausted, things had gotten complicated after his was mother transferred, he planned to go see her in the hospital tomorrow, however he doubted he would be able to do it, tomorrow his new boss would also come, he didn't want to ask for time off that same day, one day he would ask for time off, he would do anything for his mother, and for this reason he was afraid of losing the job he had been given, if that happened, he would not be able to pay for his mother's hospitalization. And worse the school for his siblings or be able to keep them.

It was quite an issue, maybe he would wait a bit and then go visit his mother.

Tanjiro went to the TV and turned it off, to this Nezuko reacted and woke up, seeing her brother she could only yawn and stand up to greet him.

"Hello brother." She said sleepily.

"Hello Nezuko, are you tired? Better go to sleep in your room, I'll take the others to their rooms." He added smiling.

"You help a lot by working, you must be exhausted, let me help you and then we'll go to sleep." She yawned after saying that.

"I guess that's okay."

Both of them took their siblings to sleep, each one in their own room, after that they both sat down again on the armchairs in the main room, before going to sleep they always tried to talk a little, tell about their day, then they would go to their rooms to rest.
