The sun rose slowly over the horizon, casting  light over the village. The aftermath of the final battle against the demons lingered in the air, a bittersweet reminder of both triumph and loss. The fields that had once been vibrant were now quiet, left by the memories of their comrades who had fought  for peace. The landscape bore the scars of sacrifice, and the hearts of those who survived were heavy with grief.

Months had passed since the final battle that had taken so much from them. Gyomei, Shinobu, and Muichiro, among others, had fallen. Their loss left a void that was felt deeply within the Corps .As Obanai  looked out over the landscape that had once been filled with laughter and camaraderie, he felt the weight of their absence badly.

The villagers had begun to rebuild, but it was a slow process. The echoes of laughter were gradually returning, but the shadows of grief lingered. Obanai often thought of Mitsuri Kanroji, whose love for Shinobu had been extinguished too soon. Her bright spirit had dimmed with the lss, and er sorrow was palpable. Eachday, she carried the weight of her love for Shinobu, struggling to find joy in a world that felt so empty.

Together, he and Obanai found peace in each other, their love blossoming amidst the chaos and heartache.

As the seasons changed, the village began to heal. Flowers bloomed in the fields, vibrant colors replacing the shadows of sorrow. Children played again, their laughter slowly filling the air. The community came together, celebrating the lives of their fallen friends and honoring their sacrifices. They established a memorial in the village square, a place where they could gather to remember those who had given everything for their safety.

Giyuu often visited the memorial, standing before the engraved names of his comrades. He felt a mix of sadness and gratitude, knowing that their sacrifices had not been in vain. Each name represented a story, a life lived fully, and he made it a point to share those stories with the villagers. He encouraged them to remember not just the pain of loss but the joy that came from knowing such remarkable individuals.

Despite the past darkness that surrounded them,the light broke through. They found joy in the little things a shared meal, quiet evenings spent watching the stars, and the warmth of each other's presence. Giyuu's gentle smiles became a source of comfort for Obanai, reminding him that even in the depths of grief, there was room for love and healing.

Years had passed

since the final battle against Muzan, a victory that brought an end to the era of demons. The world, once filled with terror and chaos, had finally found peace. Simce With Muzan gone, the Demon Slayer Corps disbanded, their purpose fulfilled. The remaining members slowly returned to the rhythm of ordinary life, their wounds healing, though the memories of the fallen never fully faded.

Mitsuri Kanroji, once filled with grief over the loss of her beloved Shinobu, had eventually found peace and happiness in her own way. After years of mourning and healing, she rediscovered joy, slowly learning to live again despite her broken heart. Though she never forgot Shinobu, Mitsuri's vibrant spirit helped her to rebuild her life and embrace the future with a bittersweet smile. She surrounded herself with friends, people who understood her pain, and through their support, she was able to find solace and purpose. Though she lived her life apart from the others now, she would always be connected to them by the shared battles and memories.

As for Obanai and Giyuu, they had left behind the bustling cities and the traces of their past, moving to a quiet village in the mountains. Here, surrounded by nature, they found the peace they had long sought after a lifetime of fighting. The village was serene, with birds singing and the breeze whispering through the trees. It was a place where the two of them could finally live in tranquility, far from the bloodshed and darkness that had once consumed their lives.
