Tanumaki"s POV:
I reach Shinazugawa's Estate just before Obanai arrives. "I'm late." Iguro says.
"Hisashiburidana." ["Long time no see."] I say, greeting the two. "I also just arrived a moment ago." Shinazugawa replies. "I reached here few seconds after Shinazugawa." I contrast to the two of them.
"So how's your training with the members? He questions. "I don't think they will be useful when fighting against the Upper-Ranks." Iguro responds. "I think so too." I say, agreeing with Iguro and leaning on the railing beside the staircase Shinazugawa is sitting on. "Same here." Shinazugawa sighs.
"Still, nurturing the Corp members is the Master's will." Iguro replies. "As Himejima-san said, we can use this opportunity to strengthen the whole Demon Slayer Corps." I say, responding to Iguro's statement. "Yeah." Shinazugawa replies. "Why did you call us two at this hour?" Iguro questions.
*Yeah, Shinazugawa.* My brain echos with this thought. "I've always been wondering." He starts. "That matter in the castle?" Me and Iguro ask simultaneously, casting Shinazugawa a side look from the corner of our eyes. "We believed that we cornered those demons." He replies. "However, all of them managed to disappear somewhere." He continues. "All of those demons, gone without a trace." Iguro responds. "That must be a secret hideout we most probably don't have any idea about." I say, contrasting with their idealogies. "Yeah." Shinazugawa breathes.
"I've been thinking about it ever since." Iguro retorts. "I want to talk to Tsugikuni about it." I voice, looking at the sky. "Tsugikuni-san's got great observation skills, she could deduce this immediately." I elaborate. "This is private information, Tanumaki." Shinazugawa breathes.
"What lies behind that door?" Iguro asks. "Hideout, huh?" Shinazugawa speaks up. "I've investigated that castle several times." Shinazugawa continues. "Did anything like this ever happen while on your investigations, Shinazugawa?" I ask, wanting to know more.
"But I couldn't find anything." He tells. "Hmm. Most of the demons now are silent." I respond. "Right around that time, the demons in the city suddenly disappeared." Iguro back up my point.
"So it's true their target is Kamado's sister." Shinazugawa perks up. "She's a demon that can withstand the sun. Makes sense why their target is her." I respond to Shinazugawa's statement. "There's no doubt." Iguro replies. "Something big might be about to start." Iguro concludes. " It has to be revolving around the matter in the castle." I speak up. "Right, Tanumaki." The two of them say at the same time. "No matter what it is, I'll end it all." Shinazugawa declares, standing up. "Your being reckless." I point out, fluttering my eyes open. "For the Demon Slayer Corps, perhaps this is an omen of misfortune." Iguro says."Training the members keeps me distracted." I say. "Same here." Iguro replies. "When I calmly read the situation, I can't help but be conscious of what lies ahead." "This calm could be.." Iguro says. "The calm before the storm." I finish Iguro's line.
Shinazugawa, who walked a few steps ahead and had his Katana on his back responds, "It's pointless to say whatever it is." "I have a suggestion for you." Iguro suggests. " I have one too for you both." I speak. "I have one as well." Shinazugawa replies, turning to face us. I walked to the side of the staircase and was leaning on the side of it.
"Let me say it first." He says, putting his Katana on the ground and facing the both of us.
"Fight me!" Shinazugawa says.
"What a coincidence. I was about to say that too." Iguro responds.
"Well well, looks like we had the same idea." I say, smirking.
