(pic abov ur uniform ik quality sucks ass blame my pHONE-)

☆•☆

"Have you two gotten changed?"

You finished slipping on the last piece of clothing for the uniform of a demon slayer, your hooded haori. Your right side of the pants was folded up, secured with bandages.

You neatly tucked in your new weapon behind your back, safely secured with a strap.

Tanjiro turned around, and your lips slightly tugged up at the sight of him wearing his uniform too. He looked straight at Urokodaki, as if asking for a confirmation from him.

Urokodaki nodded, grunting.

||skip :D||

"Tanjiro, (Y/n)."

The two of you looked at him, anticipating the words he's going to send down your ways.

"Now that you two are ready to be sent out, I'd like to explain a few things first."

"That demon slayer uniform you two are wearing right now is made of a special kind of fiber. It is quite breathable to wear, but no low-levelled demon is able to tear through that piece of clothing."

"Also, those nichirin swords of yours.. the color varies from owner to owner, and each hue has unique properties."

"But since not many people end up with black blades, little are known about them. So little, in fact, that-"

"-so little is known that, so what, Urokodaki-sama?"

"..black blades are said to be wielded by swordsmen who'll never go far."

"-no," you cut them off, butting in, "I don't believe that. In fact, I'd like to say otherwise, I believe that Tanjiro-kun will achieve many things in the future, he is, after all, the most determined person I've ever met."

You glanced at him with a smile, failing to catch the blush that appeared across his face.

"R-right-- and even if I- don't know how I'll do in the Demon Slayer Corps, just like (Y/n)-chan said..." he turned over to Nezuko peeking in at the three of you hidden under the covers, "I' determined, so I'm going to turn Nezuko back into a human no matter what." He smiled.

"Yes, you're right. I have faith that you're going to make that happen." Old man replied.

Tanjiro hummed, nodding.

"One more thing. Take this." He picked up the box from his side, setting it down in front of Tanjiro.

"Use that to keep your sister in. It's built out of an extremely light wood called 'Cloud Mist Pine'. I coated it with rock lacquer to reinforce its exterior and to make it even more durable."

"Thank you very much!"

I'm getting bored of all this talking, man... I wanna get on with the mission already... you mentally whined, pouting to yourself.

Finally outside, you awkwardly glanced between the two as Urokodaki casually fixed Tanjiro's uniform, staying silent as you watched them exchange nods.
