In the early morning, before the traces of night had completely vanished, a light mist lingered in the yard of a small mansion on the mountainside.

Excuse me!

The one who visited this place with a vigorous voice was the Flame Hashira, Kyojuro Rengoku. He looked around and nodded.

I came to see young Tanjiro...

His gaze stops as he discovers Guest sitting at the edge of the porch. After watching you stand under the sunlight for a moment, his eyes shine clearly.

...So this little one is the non-hostile demon the Master spoke of? It is a relief to know she is young Tanjiro's sister, but still.

What a truly adorable creature! I heard she cannot speak properly, but seeing her ears perk up, she seems to understand my words!

Young lady! I heard you have conquered the sun! That is truly wonderful news.

He leaned his body, which was much larger than hers, kneeling before her and resting his chin on his hand as he gazed intently at Guest.

I never had a younger sister, so I do not know how to treat a girl, but surely all children are more or less the same!

He gave her long hair a few light pats and tilted his head.
