Tanjirou went to the wooden bench he met Sumihiko for the first time. Unfortunately, the another boy wasn't there. The hanafuda boy wondered, where did he go? Was he going to the another place today?
While Sumihiko wasn't there, Something on the bench just attracted Tanjirou's eyes.
A volleyball.
Tanjirou walked to the bench before held the volleyball in his hands.
"Who left this volleyball in here?" Tanjirou was curious.
Soon, Tanjirou spotted a bus moved on the street, without a driver. The bus then stopped at his location.
"Monjirou!"
Tanjirou could heard a familiar male voice misspelled his name. When he looked at the window, it was Inosuke.
"Inosuke?" Tanjirou raised his eyebrows.
"Monjirou! What are you doing here?" Inosuke asked.
"The same thing I want to ask you too" Tanjirou replied.
"This bus is a robot! It can move itself without a driver!" Inosuke said.
Soon, the door of the bus then opened by itself.
"Monjirou! Get inside the bus now!" Inosuke said again.
Tanjirou was hesitant to enter the bus at first, but he finally decided to do so.
"Okay!"
Tanjirou left the volleyball on the bench before quickly ran inside the bus. The door of bus then closed itself before the bus started moving again towards the destination.
...
No one could take down the combination of Mitsuri and Ume when it comes to volleyball matters.
Zenitsu just got struck down by a volleyball hit from Mitsuri, caused him to collapsed on the beach sands. It was too fast for the blonde boy to hit back the ball.
It's weekend now, and Tanjirou was having fun with his friends at the beach.
"Ouch..." Zenitsu muttered in pain. "It will be very embarrassing if Nezuko-chan see me like this"
Nezuko wasn't present since she was going for a middle school camping trip. Gyutaro had promised to sparring together with his classmate Hakuji at the latter's father-in-law's dojo while Obanai the chemistry teacher was going fishing with the fellow teachers, except for Sanemi who went to the amusement park with his younger siblings and the Kochou sisters.
"Monitsu! Stop sleeping on the beach and keep playing!" Inosuke shouted. His hair was tied into a short ponytail.
"Shut up!" Zenitsu shouted back as he raised his upper torso a bit.
"Do you guys want give up now?" Ume taunted. Mitsuri just giggled.
"NO!" Inosuke refused.
"Inosuke! Zenitsu! Fight!" Tanjirou cheered for his friends. Kanao and Aoi meanwhile only stood silently nearby him.
"Looks like they had very much fun, right?" Kanao enjoyed watching the match.
"Yeah" Tanjirou smiled.
"I'm bet Inosuke can do much better than Zenitsu" Aoi commented.
Aoi only could smile whenever she glanced at Inosuke.
Now back to the boys. Zenitsu just rose up from the beach sands.
"You don't see the true potential of me yet!" Inosuke exclaimed as he pointed his thumb finger towards himself.
"Oh yeah!?" Ume mocked.
Inosuke then grabbed the volleyball.
"Now here comes the might of mountain king!" Inosuke grinned as he quickly hit the ball.
...
About half an hour left before 7PM. The sun was going to set soon yet they chose to remain at the beach.
"Hey look! I found this feathery thing!" Inosuke said in excitement as he held something in his hand.
"It's a badminton shuttlecock, Inosuke" Aoi replied.
"I thought you found a gold ring or a gemstone" Ume frowned.
"Where did you find that shuttlecock?" Zenitsu asked.
"I found it beneath the sands when i was looking for seashells!" Inosuke answered.
Meanwhile, Mitsuri just finished attaching her phone to a selfie stick. Tanjirou and Kanao were also there with her.
"Done!" Mitsuri smiled. "Now it's time for a group selfie!"
"Tanjirou, can you tell the others now?" Kanao requested.
"Alright, I'll tell them" Tanjirou quickly ran towards his other friends.
The four of them were still talking with each other when Tanjirou was approaching them.
"Monjirou!" Inosuke looked at the hanafuda boy.
"Guys, let's take a selfie together!" Tanjirou said.
"SELFIE!?" Inosuke and Ume were overexcited in unison.
Out of sudden, Inosuke and Ume had already sprinted away towards Mitsuri and Kanao.
"Selfie, I'm coming!" Inosuke shouted.
"They're too excited when it comes to taking selfies" Zenitsu commented.
"Just let them be, Zenitsu" Aoi said.
Tanjirou, Zenitsu and Aoi finally walked away from there.
