Argentum: Ah another chapter!

Slayer: Unfortunately this is still mostly a training chapter.

Grel'Slyfer: Ugh so boring.

Argentum: Hey that's just the way things are going.

Mukago: Too many time skips make for a boring time.

Slayer: Debatable based on circumstances.

Mukago: That's fair.

Argentum: Well seeing how we don't have anything to discuss, let's move on.

Slayer: Sounds good to me, Mukago you are up once again.

Mukago: Okay~! Ahem we here the Dark Guard productions own nothing but oc's and reality building themes. Everything else belongs to their respective owners. Now without further delay…

Everyone: Here's the story!

Chapter Thirty Two: How I had my mind blown or… How I made a miscalculation …

It was the dawn of the new day and once more we could all be found training. Supervising us this time was Mitsuri, whose fighting style made her a very unique challenge. Sure I had fought alongside her, and had seen he love breathing. Yet that didn't exactly prepare me to face her myself. By the end of the afternoon all of us were exhausted. Mitsuri herself looked a little winded but seemed fine all in all. Looking at her I'd have to put her above Shinobu, yet still below Kyojuro and Sanemi. Her exact placement within the Hashira was unknown to me.

At this point in the training however only half of us were left standing. "Good job everyone~! I can already see improvements from when we fought the first upper moon!" While Zenitsu and Innosuke groaned on the ground. I, Tanjiro, and Kanao smiled with labored breathing. To the side was Nezuko who was reading up on more magic along with Mukago and Aoi. Looking at Mukago reminded me of what I needed to do. So sheathing my sword I turned towards the former demoness.

"Mukago San I just happened to remember something, I think we can try and get rid of your horns now." Looking up at me she gave me a big smile.

"Really?! That'd be great! Can you do it right now?" Smiling at her enthusiasm I told her about what we'd need.

"Hold your horses there, first we need to put you on your bed. As with Tanjiro this will probably knock you out for a bit. Your body will take the time you're asleep to adjust to the changes made." She nodded and began leading the way to her room.

"Well see you later everyone! I'm about to lose my horns!" Everyone said goodbye to us, that's when Mitsuri spoke up happily.

"While their gone let's put you all on a few laps around the estate!" There was a slight groan from everyone including Kanao at that. I couldn't help but chuckle as we exited the dojo. Following my first knight we eventually made it to her room. It was small, but had a bed, a desk, and a dresser. "Welcome to my room master~! Now let's get this ball rolling!"

I couldn't help but smirk at her attitude taking out a knife and a vial. "Someone is excited."

She scoffed before waving her arms. "Can you blame me? Look at these things!" She pointed at her horns. "If they were at least to the sides of my head they'd be bearable! I honestly have no idea why my demon self decided on having these things! They serious get in the way! Plus they just don't look all that attractive in the front." I couldn't help but shake my head as I filled the vial with my blood.

"Sure I getcha, now drink this and I'll begin. You'll fall asleep as I complete the process. After that I'll leave ya as you rest." She nodded and drank the vial I offered her. "I'll be honest and say I wish there was a better way but can't change how it's done."

My knight nodded while laying down. "Yeah… though you're blood does have an interesting taste at least." I would've questioned her on what she meant but she fell asleep. Shaking my head I quickly used my Lyb'Craeft to make sure the transformation went smoothly. Once I was done I tucked her in and left. I was rather tuckered out myself, but thankfully it was now lunch. Along the way I met the three butterfly girls, they were carrying trays of food.

Smiling I took the two heaviest platters from them. "Here let me help you girls out~." Smiling they quickly accepted my help, and then we all talked as we left to the dining room. The three children were adorable, and I couldn't help but answer whatever questions they had about my adventures. After a minute of walking we all made it to our destination.

Waving to me Mitsuri greeted me with her giant smile. "Michael Kun~! How did it go? Does Mukago Chan not have horns anymore?" I answered her while putting everything in place, around me I could see that the others were also quite curious.

Seeing how I didn't know however I decide to be honest. "Well I'm not sure yet, I left her asleep so her body could adjust. However I'm fairly certain she'll be fine after this. I mean Tanjiro doesn't have any horns." Looking at Tanjiro's rock like forehead they nodded in agreement.

"Ara ara! Seems like a good feast here~." Looking over as I sat next to Kanao, I saw Shinobu enter the room. "Greetings everyone~! How's training going?"

Kanao taking a bite answered first, she also seemed a bit excited. "I think it is going very well Nee San. Training alongside Tanjiro Kun and Michael San has helped me tremendously at least. There's also Mitsuri San and Rengoku San's training to consider."

Shinobu grabbed a plate and nodded in understanding. "True enough, speaking of which…" She turned to Mitsuri with a smile. "Though you are helping to train all of this bunch, I do thank you for helping to train Kanao Chan~." Mitsuri simply waved off her thanks with a giggle.

"Hehe~. No problem Shinobu Chan! Always glad to help! Besides me, Kanao Chan, and Nezuko Chan made a kick butt team! We held back the second strongest demon long enough, for Tanjiro Kun and Michael Kun to get back into the fight! What's more they got their cool power ups!" The both of us couldn't help but rub the back of our heads sheepishly at that. What she said was pretty true. Looking over from her place, Nezuko lifted her head from Zenitsu's lap. Something I could tell Tanjiro was doing his best to ignore.

"Yeah the two of them are pretty similar aren't they?" Everyone nodded at that causing us both to sigh at the same time. "See!" That got everyone to laugh much to our embarrassment.

That's when I froze at the sound of two voices. "Oh? Someone seems to be enjoying themselves, wouldn't you say so Cassandra?"

"Why yes he does seem rather comfortable." Looking at an open door were two ladies I was hoping not to have physical contact with, at least for another week or so. "Oh Michael Kun~. I think we need to have a talk about how you fought an upper moon." I gulped and I felt a hand pat my shoulder in sympathy. It was Tanjiro, and he was no help at all.

After all… you're the one who told them what happened in the first place you ijit! Needless to say the following lecture was a doozy.

I wear my horns to the side! "The Line Break"

It was now later into the evening, my girls having finished with my lecture. Of course we then all hugged and they haven't let me up since. I was simply holding them both as I explained and taught magic to everyone. It was decided that everyone needed to learn it, it was simply too versatile not to. Only one to not even grasp a bit of the concept was Innosuke. However I had faith that he'd pick up on it, for now we had him practicing his Zen Shūchū Jōchū. He was the only one who didn't even know it existed yet. So we thought it was for the best. I also noticed something a bit different about how Cassandra felt while hugging her. However it wasn't too big of a deal and I ignored it for the moment.

Shinobu was also kind enough to order in some training gourds for everyone. Kanao and I had demonstrated on some gourds, shocking Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Innosuke beyond all belief. We had also given a small one to Tanjiro, he blew that up in one go. We currently had him on the larger ones now.

Now as I was teaching something unexpected happen. "AHHH!" We all couldn't help but blink at the sound of outraged horror.

After a moment Zenitsu spoke up. "Hey wasn't that Mukago San?" Once more we all blinked, and then everyone turned to me. Shinobu gave me a strained smile.

"Ara ara, are you sure you did what you were supposed to correctly?" I was about to answer that yes I did, pointing to Tanjiro as an example, when the dojo door was slammed open. Looking over we saw a panting Mukago, she looked rather pissed.

Turning to me she narrowed her eyes. "Master I have a question… what are these two things on the sides of my head?" I couldn't help but grimace, for while the horns on her forehead were gone, leaving no trace that they were ever there. Her now dark white hair had four two black and while a bit knobby, straight and one and half inch horns, one for each side of her head. What's more her eyes were now a dark yellow reptilian slits. On the other hand while still pale, her skin looked a lot more healthy.

So against my better judgment I answered her question. "It appears to be two horns and a new eye color and pattern." She nodded her head.

"Yes, two horns and new eyes, so mind telling me what happened?!"

I winced at that. "Sorry… I did everything I did to Tanjiro so I have no idea why you're like that. Judan might know, but unlike what he promised he never told me what to do." Seeing my apologetic face she sighed.

"I suppose it isn't completely your fault, you're still new to all of this same with the rest of us." I sighed a bit relieved. "In any case I do quite like the change in eye and hair color." The ladies around us all seemed to nod in understanding. "So think I'll be "normal" if I become a true knight?"

I couldn't help but shrug with a grimacing smile. "Well… seeing how it didn't work this time, I don't think even that would work at this point." Blinking she sighed as she slumped over, sulking in disappointment.

"I suppose I'll just be known as horn girl from now on…" I honestly felt terrible about all of that. Sitting down she stretched her back. "Well I did say I'd be fine with horns on the side of my head. Should've been more specific." That got a small laugh from everyone. "Anyways… guess I'm just stuck like this. Wonder if it has anything to do with me just being a demon in the first place? Or maybe this is simply part of my atonement?"

I was about to dismiss that when I remembered something. "Actually that might be why. Not the atonement part, just you being a demon part." Everyone looked at me as I explained my thoughts. "Judan said that elder dragons take the best trait of both parents. Since I'm technically turning you into a weaker elder dragon, the horns might just be a trait kept over. Do you heal faster than a regular human?" As everyone turned to her Mukago hit a fist into her hand.

"AH! While I don't heal nearly as fast as I once did, I think I still heal pretty quickly! Wait that means… I've got to go and experiment!" With that she ran off, I couldn't help but worry about the experiment part of her sentence.

Next to me Eris spoke up in concern. "Will she be alright?" I could only shrug at her question. "That's what I thought." Shinobu giggled before giving her own two cents.

"Well I'm sure she'll be fine~. Such an extinguished doctor wouldn't allow herself to be hurt after all~!" None of us could tell if she was being sarcastic or not, something that unnerved everyone but Aoi and Kanao. This was to be expected, the two did know her for the longest.

Sucking in some air I turned to my girls. "So how has your training been going? Still keeping up your breathing exercises?" Nodding Cassandra answered first.

"I have done my best to master my breathing. However I will admit to some difficulty over it, on the positive side I now have a couple of moves for my Kori no Kyoko." That got her a small clap from everyone, though I noticed something a little off about how she pronounced her claim. But before I could say anything my trail of thought went instead to a realization.

"Ah! That's why you feel a bit colder than usual." She nodded at that with a big smile.

"Correct~! I still have a bit to go, can't quite flash freeze anything yet. However I have noticed that my attacks do give a bit of a chill to the demons I cut. I will show you all during tomorrows sparring." We all nodded at that as Eris spoke up.

"My turn~! And I have mastered Zen Shūchū Jōchū! Of course it helps that I didn't have to worry about making an entirely new style. Plus whatever I have left of my divinity also helped but that's neither here nor there." At this point I was glad that everyone in the room already knew of Eris, otherwise there would've been quite a few questions.

Instead everyone clapped as I hugged the two closer. "Great work you two! I'm so proud of you two!" They blushed at that but snuggled into my arms a bit deeper. "Glad to hear you both progressing so quickly." I then turned to the boys of our group. "How about you three? Your breathing exercises going well?" Both Innosuke and Zenitsu sighed while Tanjiro smiled.

"They're going great! I'm able to keep it up for sixteen hours a day now! I only really have trouble when sleeping." That got a clap from everyone but Kanao who kissed his cheek. The poor kid turned beat red at that. Turned out we had the same weakness to the women in our lives.

After a small giggle Shinobu turned to me. "Oh! I almost forgot!" We all turned to her as she clapped her hands together. "We'll be getting some special guests soon~." We blinked at that as she elaborated. "I can't say much until they're here, however what I can say is that the master invited them himself. Said that they'd be assisting me and Mukago in certain projects." For a split second there was an aura of malice around her, but as quick as it came it disappeared.

I quickly got an idea on at least one of the things they'll be doing. "More poison?" She gave me a smile that set me on edge.

"Yep~!" As she popped the p in the word she continued. "Plus a little something for a certain someone here." After a moment of the insect pillar being quiet Mitsuri spoke up.

"For a certain who Shinobu Chan? You sort of just cut off there." The butterfly simply put a finger to her lips.

"That's a secret~." We couldn't help but groan at that. "Ara ara~. No need to be so glum! It's a very good project, one I'm more than happy to help with." We decided to drop it at that point, deciding to trust the pillar. With that I went on and continued my lessons. It was nice, as if we were all one big family.

Now if only we could get the Rengoku's, the butterfly girls , and maybe that Giyu guy as well, he did seem close to Tanjiro. Then it'd be perfect. Nodding my head I continued to teach as I was snuggled by Cassandra and Eris, I simply couldn't deny their hugs.

I wear my horns to the side! "The Line Break"

The next day I woke up dogpiled under both Cassandra and Eris. Cassandra's cool touch cancelling out my warm temperature, allowing us to still sleep comfortably together. Seeing their adorable sleeping faces brought a large smile to my face. I honestly couldn't help but lightly kiss them on the nose. Unconsciously they snuggled up into my embrace a little more.

These girls are too adorable~! I couldn't help but hug them a bit closer, careful to not suffocate them in my embrace. Now while I knew we should get up, I will admit we stayed like that for the next hour. When they finally awoke they looked up and smiled at me. That's when I was "double teamed" with them kissing me at the same time. I did not expect that and slightly short circuited. Smirking at my shocked face they both high fived. These minx's planned that! At this point while I'd still try to get one over on them whenever I could. I knew I'd never catch up to them, they were both too good.

After a bit of breakfast with everyone we walked back to the dojo, on the way I took the time to look over my girls. Their outfits haven't changed too much, although Eris now had the kanji for destroy on her back in black. Cassandra's top also changed a bit, it was still the regular uniform unlike Eris'. However it was now white with red trim. I was honestly starting to wonder just how customizable our uniforms were. Deciding to think on that later I opened the dojo door for my girls. Looking inside I could see that supervising us once again was Mitsuri; currently she was posing her haori somehow billowing as she gave us a fist pump.

"Alright everyone~! Today we get to train with Cassandra Chan and Eris Chan! Never met them until last night but since they're with Michael Kun I'm sure they're awesome~!" We couldn't help but chuckle at her antics, while I wouldn't ever be attracted to her like I am with Cassandra and Eris. I will not deny that she was pretty cute sometimes. "Alright! Let's start out with some one on one sparring! Innosuke!" He perked up at that, always willing to fight. "How about you go against Cassandra? That way we can see her new style in action!"

Innosuke seemed to breathe steam from his boar mask. "That's what I'm talking about! Plus if she's one of aniki's girls that means she should be strong!" I couldn't help but blink at wha the called me. Seemed as if I was simply becoming all the kiddos' older brother, I was fine with this, they were all good kids after all.

Giggling Cassandra stepped forward. "Aww~. I will be more than glad to spar with you Innosuke Kun~." Her brilliant smile got even the indomitable Innosuke to pause.

"Um… sure thing! But don't expect me to hold back aneki!" That got me to smile more, he just called Cassandra big sis. Honestly even with his wild side Innosuke was such a good boy. After getting ready, both got into their stances. After a moment Mitsuri whistled loudly.

"And go!" The spar was one and as expected Innosuke charged in first.

Crossing his arms the boar boy attacked first. "Ni no Kiba Kirisaki!" His second form, or fang, and he aimed at Cassandra's middle. Normally his blades jagged edges would make this move hard to block, however he was simply borrowing some regular swords. So Cassandra only had to cut upwards with her sword, completely of balancing Innosuke and redirecting his attack upwards. With a twirl she thrusted her blade forward.

"Ni no Kata Take no Tsurara!" I hummed as Innosuke barely dodged her attack, a shock of cold extending out from the tip of her blade. Her bamboo icicle as she had called it was interesting. I could see how it is supposed to be a long ranged attack, however since it was still in development it simply chilled Innosuke. Didn't help that he didn't wear a shirt though… Now having successfully dodged Cassandra's attack Innosuke brought his blades down. Pulling back, Cassandra held onto her sword with both hands and blocked Innosuke's double slash.

She seemed to not want to continue the lock and jumped back, causing Innosuke to stagger. That's when the fight really began, for with speed she didn't possess half a month ago. My lovely princess charged forward. A trail of cold air following her sword as she struck, Innosuke defended with one sword before slashing with the other. Cassandra using her still superior strength pushed his other sword away and deflected his attack.

She then slashed forward. "Ichi no Kata Kaikyo toketsu!" This time I could actually see some ice crystals. Innosuke managed to block the downwards strike but he shivered before yelling.

"Oi! That's super cold!" Cassandra simply gave her disarming smile making the boar boy falter. "Not that I can't handle it!" She giggled before a shine came to her eyes.

"I am ecstatic to hear that Innosuke Kun~. Now remember how I said I only had two forms?" Everyone's eyes widened as she backed up. "I lied~. San no Kata Sunoejji!" As she slashed at Innosuke's middle three blades of ice struck as well. Innosuke could barely dodge and even then as he stepped back, his right side was covered in frost.

"AIEEE! Cold! Cold! Cold!" I didn't feel nearly as sympathetic as some; he was the one who never wore a shirt after all. I did nod in satisfaction at Cassandra's snow edge however. Her third form was something I couldn't help but be jealous of, I could see tons of situations where it'd be useful. After that the fight while still impressive, slowly devolved into turning Innosuke into an icicle. After the spar the poor boar boy was in the corner. Aoi covering him with blankets and giving the kid a warm cup of tea. "Achoo!" Cassandra felt terrible for what she did, and was constantly apologizing.

Next fight was Eris vs Kanao. "Alright! Rematch time!" Kanao simply smiled while Tanjiro and Nezuko cheered her on.

Seeing how the girls were ready Mitsuri started the fight. "And go!" Eris started the fight with a boom of thunder. In an instant she had unsheathed her longer sword and struck. It was the first form and she was definitely faster than ever before. However after training with me and Tanjiro for so long, Kanao was able to track her and raised her sword block the slash at her side.

"Dang girl!" Sliding behind her Eris grinned. "You haven't been slacking either I see." Kanao simply smiled and nodded, that's when I noticed Eris' shorter sword. She gripped both her weapons, one in her left, and the other in her right. "Alright let's see how you like my modified form! Ichi no kata Naisen Hekireki Issen!" That got my attention, with how she put extra first, I correctly assumed it was simply to suggest her second sword. For as soon as she said her form name she charged forward. Seeing this Kanao brought her blade up, defending from both of Eris' blades.

I saw how her eyes narrowed as Eris pushed Kanao back a bit. Pushing my shorter goddess back Kanao lunged forward. Using her second form to push Eris back and attack at the same time. Seeing this my goddess flashed to the side.

"San no kata Shubun Seirai!" As electric attacks surged at the flower girl Kanao stood her ground and retaliated. Her third form blocking the incoming electric slashes. Narrowing her eyes my goddess once again used her first form to get in close. That's when regular melee happened, with Eris using her dual swords and Kanao defending. The latter's defense being impeccable, as Eris used her advanced to speed to try and get into the younger girls guard. Seeing how none of them could freeze the other, the spar was already lasting longer than the one between Cassandra and Innosuke.

Forms were performed, and swords crashed together with loud clangs. However I could see there was one clear difference between the two. Eris was tiring out much faster than Kanao. I could quickly deduce how the fight would end, and as it would happen the fight ended after one final clash.

Eris charged forward using her first form extra one more. Seeing this Kanao decided on her first form as well. "Here I come girly!" As the two collided a shock wave appeared around them, breaking the floor a bit as they struggled. However after a few moments Eris seemed to lose momentum and was flung onto her back. Her breathing was heavy and she couldn't get up. "Okay… I think I'm done." We gave a small laugh at that while Kanao helped my Goddess up. "Geez what do they feed you kids?" Kanao blushed as I snickered. I had often thought of that myself.

Walking up to my goddess I gave her a hug. "You did great my beautiful goddess." She nodded and snuggled up to me. After a moment we pulled back as Mitsuri clapped her hands.

"Alright! Let's shake things up a bit! I shall spar against Michael Kun~!" I couldn't help but gulp at that, knowing that what was going to happen next was going to be painful.

Why is it always me? Needless to say the following beat down reminded me of just how much further I had to go.

I wear my horns to the side! "The Line Break"

After a few days me, Tanjiro, Kanao, and Nezuko were called to Shinobu's office. Boy were we surprised by what or more accurately who we saw. We couldn't help but blink and stare until a familiar voice insulted us.

"Don't just stare! You're being extremely rude to Tamayo Sama!"

Tamayo was quick to reprimand Yushiro. "Don't be rude yourself Yushiro! They are simply shocked at seeing me here, especially considering just where here is."

"Hai I understand Tamayo Sama!" That got us out of trances and Tanjiro quickly asked what we were wondering.

"Speaking of which… why are you two here?"

Thankfully Shinobu was more than happy to explain. "Remember when I said we'd be having special guests soon?" We nodded as she continued. "Well as it turns out Tamayo San has been an ally of the corps for a few centuries now. Only known to the current leader of the corps, so Oyakata Sama after some thinking asked her to come here. This way we could figure out more ways to kill Muzan, as well as a way to turn Nezuko and others back into humans~."

That got Tanjiro to smile and he quickly turned to Nezuko. "Hear that Nezuko?! With Shinobu San, Mukago San, and Tamayo San all working together, I'm sure we'll be able to turn you back into a human in no time!" The three doctors giggled at his enthusiasm. Though I frowned when Nezuko looked a bit hesitant.

"That does sound great… however I need to ask if it would be possible for me to find a way to also keep my powers." We looked at her a bit confused as she elaborated. "If I become a normal human I won't be able to help Onii Chan and the others anymore. So even if I have to stay a demon for a little longer, or even until everything is over and done with. I don't mind as long as I'm able to keep helping."

Tanjiro shook his head at that. "You don't have to Nezuko, if we can turn you back than you should accept that." She narrowed her eyes at him before huffing.

"Baka Onii chan!" She then left the room much to Tanjiro's shock. I couldn't help but wince and pat the kid on the shoulder.

"Just give her a bit of space." Tanjiro looked down at the floor his face pained.

"I didn't mean to upset her… it's just this whole time I've been trying to find a way to turn her back into a human. So when I heard that she didn't mind staying a demon, I couldn't help but speak up." All of us in the room nodded in understanding when Shinobu spoke up.

"We understand that, but Nezuko Chan doesn't just want you fighting for her sake. She also wants to help you. She's seen what you've sacrificed and want to relieve some burdens from your shoulders." As Kanao took his hand Tanjiro smiled sadly.

"I know that… however I still can't help but take up everything myself, it's what an older brother should do. It's what I've always done, but I guess my little sister is simply growing up."

The flower Hashira nodded at that. "I feel the same way when I look at Kanao Chan." That got the flower girl to perk up and she smiled as Shinobu did. "However while we will always be there to support them, we need to also let them grow and learn on their own." The poor kid sighed and nodded.

"I get that… I'm just worried is all. But you're right, I'll talk to her in a bit, and apologize for being stupid." We all laughed at that as Kanao kissed his cheek.

"I'm sure she'll forgive you." The kid blushed up a storm causing me to grin, and the women to giggle.

Seeing how he would be fine I patted his shoulder and turned to the doctors. "Speaking of, how viable do you think Nezuko's idea is? Even if her abilities are weakened we could retrain her up. Better than having her start from scratch at least." Mukago and Shinobu turned to Tamayo, seeing how she was the first one to start trying to turn demons into humans.

After a moment of thought she smiled. "Before I would say that wouldn't be possible, now we have one thing I didn't have before." She then pointed at me. "We now have your powerful blood. With it I'm sure we could come up with something." I nodded at that before remembering something.

"Speaking of my blood, I seem to have unlocked more of its power. Just in case you might want to take some samples." With a nod she pulled up a chair for me.

"Well sit down then, the rest of you are excused." Nodding Tanjiro and Kanao left as I sat, as she took out a needle she spoke casually to me. "It's been a couple of weeks since we've met, yet I've heard you all have been through quite a lot."

I nodded as I quickly agreed, rolling up my right sleeves in the process. "Yeah things were a bit crazy, especially when we ran into Kokushibo." She gave me a shocked look at that. "Yep! What a doozy that was, it was only thanks to some foresight and some trickery that we survived. Unfortunately we weren't able to get any blood samples though."

She sighed but nodded. "Indeed unfortunate yet not something I can blame you for. He is the second strongest demon alive." I nodded at that.

"Having fought him first hand I can agree." I winced a bit as she stuck a needle into me. "We were able to discover something though." As she withdrew some blood from my arm I continued. "Apparently Tanjiro's family has a traditional dance they perform every new year's. Evidently their Hinokami Kagura dance was actually the breath of the sun the whole time. If you don't know what that-ow!"

Tamayo faltered causing her to drive the needle a bit deeper. "Sorry! But are you sure of what you said?" I nodded a bit confused.

"Yes in fact Kokushibo confirmed it himself." Pulling the needle out she sat for a few moments before smiling viciously.

"I see… good then! Maybe we can finally end this fight with Muzan." After a moment of us looking at her in confusion she elaborated. "The last time I saw the sun breathing style in use was three hundred years ago. Used by the man who invented breathing styles himself, the man almost completely destroyed Muzan with it." That got all of us to look at her in shock, and she laughed a bit. "I was forced as Muzan's aid at the time, so I had a front row seat to watch Muzan tremble on his knees in fear. The man Tsugikuni Yoriichi was incredible, and what's more, incredibly kind. Sparing my life after Muzan ran, I've spent every waking day trying to find a way to kill Muzan since."

After a moment I remembered something and spoke up. "Did this Yoriichi also wear Tanjiro's hanafuda earrings?" After thinking for a moment the demon doctor's eyes widened.

"Yes! It was so long ago I didn't remember until now, but he wore the same earrings Tanjiro wears now! In fact he even had the same mark Tanjiro has as well!" Our eyes widened at the implications of that.

After a moment Mukago spoke up. "Do you think Tanjiro is his descendant? That would make the most sense I believe." We all nodded as Tamayo spoke again.

"Maybe it is a distinct possibility… yet something inside me tells me that isn't quite the case. Sorry but that's all I know about this." We all nodded at that while I rolled down my sleeve.

Standing up I stretched a bit. "Well regardless I'll make sure Tanjiro is up to snuff, need to make Muzan quake in his boots once more I say." That got everyone even Yushiro to laugh as u started leaving. "Well let me know if you need anything else, I still have some training to get back to." With a farewell from everyone but Yushiro, who I wasn't too surprised about, I left the office. As I walked back to the dojo I was hugged from behind. "Well I wonder who could be behind me?" I wasn't surprised to hear my goddess and princess laugh behind me.

Turning around I smirked as Eris spoke. "Ready to let me kick your butt?" I snorted at that.

"Oh you're on!" With a grin I let my girls drag me to the dojo. A smile on their faces as well, and overall I had to say that today was a pretty good day. For me at least, I kind of felt bad for Tanjiro and Nezuko. Well I'm sure they'll work it out. It was making me a little jealous at their sibling bond, made me wish that I had some siblings of my own. Oh well, they're kind of like siblings to me. There's also Kyojuro! He's like the older brother I never had! As I got dragged along I simply thought of family. I suppose blood doesn't matter in the end. Everyone here is my family I say!

With that thought I prepared myself for the spar to come. Thoughts occasionally drifting to the party I would throw once we murder Muzan. A happy thought for sure.

I wear my horns to the side! "The Line Break"

Argentum: This chapter took me forever to make!

Grel'Slyfer: There were a number of interactions to consider.

Yoriichi: Indeed, though it turned out alright in the end.

Tamayo: I will agree.

Grel'Slyfer: What is the super demon slayer doing here?

Tanjiro: He's here because he was talked about exclusively.

Argentum: What he said.

Yoriichi: Glad to be here.

Grel'Slyfer: Whatever.

Shadow: Cheer up!

Grel'Slyfer: Little brother?

Shadow: Don't call me that… anyways! Just here to announce another special chapter next chapter. That's it.

Tanjiro: Oh, I see.

Argentum: Yep! Now as our special guest, mind finishing the chapter off Yoriichi?

Yoriichi: I have no problems doing so. This has been a Dark Guard production now signing off.

Everyone: Goodbye!
