Both Tanjiro and Zenitsu walked inside the cafe, walking to the nearest empty booth. Zenitsu was still a bit nervous, why he quickly put his note book down. Tanjiro looked at him and noticed his behaviors. "Are you alright, Zenitsu?" He asked in a soft tone.

"Huh?- Y-Yea! I'm fine!" He smiled and looked through the menu. Tanjiro couldn't help but smile, looking in the menu himself. They took their orders and started to study a bit.

"Tanjiro, do you get number six?.." Zenitsu was biting the end of his pen, frustrated. "Ah- number six? Let me help!" Tanjiro got his work and looked at it. "If you look at it closely you will end up with 682 as your answer." He stated.

Zenitsu put his pen down and looked at Tanjiro in an amazed expression. "Wow! Thank you Tanjiro!" He gasped happily. Tanjiro blushed a bit and smiled "No need to thank me!" They worked a bit more until their orders came.

"Here's you're macha green tea and your mocha. Enjoy!"

Zenitsu was doodling on a napkin, sipping his mocha. Tanjiro on the other hand was drinking his tea, looking out the window. A small sparrow flew on the window and pecked on the window. "Chu! Chu!" It chirped happily. The sounds caught Zenitsu's attention and it quickly looked at the window. "Hey it's a sparrow!" He smiled.

Tanjiro nodded "it's kind of small for a regular sized one. Maybe it's still a baby bird?" The small bird jumped up and down. "Chuuu..." It chirped as it shivered. "It's cold?" Zenitsu asked putting his mocha down onto the table. "What if I bring it inside and hide it in my book bag?" Tanjiro wondered out loud, yet in a whisper. "Wait! But it's a wild animal!-" as Zenitsu was speaking, Tanjirou slowly opened the window and let the bird in. "Chu Chu!" It chirped happy as it hopped into his palm.

Zenitsu was around, making sure no one saw. The small sparrow was put in Tanjiro's book bag, on top of his scarf he kept in it. Tanjiro made sure his books didn't hurt him so he took a few out. The bird was comfortable and slowly fell asleep. Tanjiro sighed and went back to drinking his tea.

After they left the cafe, the bird was full of energy, resting on Tanjiro's shoulder and chirping. "Chu Chu! Chu Chu!" It chirped. Zenitsu called out Tanjiro from the distance "maybe this tree? It's short!" Tanjiro walked to the tree and took a quick glance at it. "It's perfect!" He gently picked up the sparrow and put it on a branch. "There, you're kinda home?" Zenitsu smiled. The bird quickly flew into Zenitsu's shoulder "chu Chu! Chu!" It chirped. "It wants to stay with us.."

The bird nodded as if it understood what they were saying. "Oh- it nodded! Well if we're going to keep it... It needs a name..." Tanjiro stated. "Chu!" The bird chirped. "Maybe Chuntaro? It does say Chu alot-" The bird chirped happily. Tanjiro smiled and nodded "Chuntaro, that's a good name!"
