Moving Forward
At first light the next day, Tanjirou shouldered the straps of Nezuko's box and accepted his provisions from Aoi. Kanao stood beside her to see him off as well.
"Are you sure leaving without waking them is a good idea…?" Aoi is asking, with a pointed glance to the estate where Zenitsu and Inosuke still slept. Tanjirou laughed sheepishly.
"I left a note! And, ah… I'd prefer it if it were just Shinobu-san and I." Tanjirou admits, face flushed.
Aoi snickered. "Don't be forgetting Nezuko-chan now."
"Safe travels," Kanao shyly bade.
Tanjirou straightened, beaming. "Thank you. I'll be going, then!"
