blue icy thunder

CH-10 swordsmith village arc.

Today... Tanjiro was a bit tired... because haganezuka chased him all day for losing his blade....he was very tired.

3rd person's POV.

After haganezuka finished chasing Tanjiro,he walked towards miyako holding a new blade...as he bowed down and handed it to her.

"Thank you for not breaking your blade....so here's a new one"haganezuka said,smiling behind his mask .

"C'mon haganezuka-san, just take that mask off,I want to see you smile"miyako said with a smile.

"But-"he said but miyako moved that mask to the side revealing his face.

"Smile!"miyako said looking him in the eye.

"Fine"he said as he smiled.

"Thank you, haganezuka"miyako said with a smile, putting his mask back.

"WOAH HE'S HANDSOME!"Aiko said with a smile.

"You're handsome... COLORFUL!"himiko said with a smile.

"No, that's too much.... gotta run!"haganezuka said running away.

"Oh.... I was going to give him some rice dumplings,I know that it's his favorite"miyako said with a smile.

"Well ..looks like he's too embarrassed"Aiko said with a grin.

"Well,Seiji was sent on a mission with muichiro,and mitsuri went to the swordsmith village with Tanjiro and the others before a few minutes"Mai said entering the garden.

"Looks like I'll have to train my students all alone"miyako said with a smile.

"How about I help you?"a girl with red eyes that had white hair with blue highlights who had a blank expression said.

"H-Hidak-sama...I-I didn't know that you were arriving today"miyako said bowing down instantly.

"Hello bestie!"a girl with light blue hair and golden eyes said with a smile.

"H-hanara-sama?"miyako said surprised.

"How are you?... I'm sorry we couldn't attend your family's funeral"hanara said with a smile.

"I've missed you"miyako said hugging hanara tightly burying her face in her.

"It's alright, I've missed you too"hanara said patting her head.

"Thank you....I would really appreciate your help, hidaka-sama"miyako said with a smile.

"Can we talk...alone please?"hidaka asked.

"Sure, let's go to the meeting room"miyako said as she walked with hidaka to the meeting room...as they reached it.

"Listen to me,you idiot! I told you not to fake a smile....it will make you look strong from the outside...but it will weaken you from the inside!"hidaka shouted at her face.

"I can't! I'm free to do whatever I want.....I don't want people to worry about me,I promised to always smile,and I will keep my promise.... I'm not like you...
A smile makes people feel safe and at ease with you, even if they're in danger,a resurging smile will make them feel protected"miyako shouted loudly.

"Stupid,you IDIOT"hidaka said slapping her"I'm your teacher,you should listen to me!"hidaka said with a serious expression.

"I'm not an idiot...a-all this time I was caring about the people around me like a true hashira...but looks like I disappointed you"miyako said as she started to tear up"I don't want to stop. P-People have enough problems,I don't want to be a burden!"miyako said as she started to cry and ran outside.
