In the middle of the night, a train was riding along the tracks and the conductor was looking over the cars when he the lights flickered and he saw something in the car behind him. He tried to run away, but a blue flash struck him and slammed him into the door, killing him instantly.

Elsewhere.

It was dusk and Y/n was walking towards a small building with a sign that said, "Noodles." He walked and saw a man with flaming bright hair, big eyes and a white cape like haori with flame markings on the bottom. This was The Flame Hashira, Kyojuro Rengoku.

Rengoku: Ah, Young L/n! Come, sit!

Y/n sat down across from him.

Rengoku: The noodles will be out soon. I ordered for both of us.

Y/n: I appreciate it.

The man who owns the shop placed two bowls of Udon.

Shop owner: Here you go.

Rengoku/Y/n: Thank you for the food!

They both did a prayer before Y/n slid his mask to the side and went for the noodles.

Rengoku: Tasty!

Y/n: Not that I'm complaining, but why meet me here of all places?

Rengoku: When you were done with a hard day of training, Shinazugawa would allow me to take you with me and Kanroji to get some noodles and this was actually your favorite place.

Y/n: Oh, well, it's great to be here. I just wish the others were this welcoming. Not that I blame them.

Rengoku: Give them time. They'll come around, my young friend.

Y/n: I'm only six years younger than you. Though with how I look now, it looks more like I'm nine years younger.

Both gave a laugh at that and that's when they finished their bowls.

Rengoku/Y/n: Tasty!

Then a Demon Slayer walked in.

Demon Slayer: Flame Hashira, Master Y/n, forgive me for intruding.

Rengoku: Please, come and take a seat.

Rengoku looked at the owner.

Rengoku: Master, bring this young man what we're having.

The man nodded and got to work as the Demon Slayer sat down.

Demon Slayer: Are you sure about that?

Rengoku: Yes, of course. Make that two bowls.

Y/n: No, three, my good man.

The owner took the old bowls.

Owner: My, my! You both sure eat with gusto, don't you? Sit tight.

The man got to work.

Demon Slayer: Flame Hashira, your work last night was magnificent.

Rengoku: You're too kind. I only wish I could have done more. How's the injured woman faring?

Demon Slayer: According to the doctor, the wounds she suffered won't leave her with any scars.

Rengoku: I see. Good thing she got treated early.

Demon Slayer: Yes, and all because of your bravery.

Y/n gripped the table a little bit.

Demon Slayer: Is something the matter, Master Y/n?

Y/n: I saw that woman before I left. Even if she doesn't have any physical scars, the scars on her mind are clear. Imagine you're just minding your own business and a demon attacks you out of nowhere. Yet, that's not even the worst part. I can tell she was intentionally kept alive, the demon didn't even try to kill her. And I ask; Where was the honor in that? Suffering like that should be put to an end, not prolonged.

Rengoku: Young L/n...

The owner gave three their noodles and the Demon Slayer said a prayer.

Demon Slayer: My thanks.

The owner sat down a plate of tempura.

Rengoku: What's this?

Owner: A little treat on the house.

Rengoku: Many thanks!

The Demon Slayer ate some of the noodles.

Demon Slayer: Tasty.

Y/n: That's exactly what Master Rengoku here said.

Demon Slayer: Hey, master, I bet you'd thrive if you set up a shop in Ueno.

Owner: Yeah, and what do you know about that?

Y/n: Well, I hear there's going to be something called a May Day event so you'd get lots of customers.

Owner: Not necessarily what I meant, kid.

Rengoku: Master, how is business?

Owner: How's it look?

Y/n looked around the shop and saw the only other person there was a guy in the corner who drunk himself to sleep.

Y/n: If I'm being honest, pretty shitty.

Owner: Exactly.

The owner picked up a newspaper that said something about a "Slasher."

Owner: Thanks to all the talk about the Slasher being at large here, people stopped coming out at night. It's at the point where I even had to let my workers go. They say that a conductor was murdered just the other day. Also, in case you haven't heard yet, the Mugen Train is out of service now.

Y/n: Why? What happened?

Owner: Rumor has it that around 40 of the passengers on board the train disappeared without any explanation.

Rengoku: Sounds ominous.

Demon Slayer: By the way, about that, the reason I'm here is about that train. We've received word it was secretly transported to a certain storage area.

Rengoku: Is that right?

Rengoku took some of the tempura and ate it.

Rengoku: Tasty!

Y/n: Let's get going then... After I finish my noodles.

Later.

It was night time and the three Demon Slayers left the shop.

Demon Slayer: Are we heading to the Mugen Train?

Rengoku: Of course. But first we should inspect the station where the conductor's body was found.

Y/n: Even if the Slasher isn't there, it could give us a few clues about what kind of demon this Slasher is.

Demon Slayer: You think the Slasher is a demon?

Y/n: Well, there's no other explanation except the most logical one.

They got to the train station and while the Demon Slayer had Rengoku's crow land on his shoulder, Y/n called for his faithful hawk, Hatake.

Y/n: Scan the area from the sky with Master Rengoku's crow.

Hatake: Yes, Master.

They took to the air and a few minutes later, met back with the Slayers.

Crow: All clear!

Demon Slayer: I went ahead and scanned the area, and nothing seems to be amiss.

Y/n: Hatake didn't see anything either.

Rengoku: I see!

???: There aren't any demons!

They turned to see a girl with a stand of bintos on her speaking with her grandmother who was on the other side of the counter.

Girl: Would you stop bringing that up? Please, I've got to sell as many lunch boxes as I can! It's hard enough Mother's pregnant, and father's shop is failing. Well, I've heard it is.

Grandmother: You should leave that worrying to us boring, old grown-ups. While it's still dark out, I'll take care of things, all right?

Girl: And what are we supposed to do if you get attacked by the Slasher, too?!

Grandmother: I'd be more than happy to sacrifice my life for yours.

Girl: Grandma!

Rengoku and Y/n walked over to them.

Rengoku: Well, good evening. Nice weather tonight, isn't it? We are here searching for a demon. So have you seen any?

Y/n: What my senior here is trying to say is; Have you seen anything... out of the ordinary?

The old woman looked at Rengoku with wide eyes.

Rengoku: Do you know anything about it, ma'am?

The girl stood up and out stretch her arms in a protective manner with a bean-paste bun in her hand.

Girl: What? Demons? What's wrong with you?

She began to shake.

Girl: Just get out of here! I'm warning you!

Rengoku: Careful! If you keep shaking like that, you'll end up dropping your bean-paste bun!

Girl: Get out of here!

She threw the bean-paste bun at Rengoku's face.

Y/n: Gee, it's a wonder you have no business with how you treat your costumer relationships.

Girl: Just get out of here, you bird freak.

Y/n: (fake laugh) You know, you should be careful who you insult, you little-

He was about to step up to her, but Rengoku put a hand up, took the bun off his face and bit into it.

Rengoku: Tasty!

Girl: There are no demons here, because demons don't exist!

Y/n: We have a name for people like you, but for now we'll just call you ignorant.

Girl: What?!

The old woman put her hands on her granddaughter's shoulder.

Grandmother: Fuku, that's enough. Take it easy. I don't believe they have bad intentions.

Fuku began to clam herself.

Fuku: Forgive me. I've been on edge lately 'cause of the Slasher incidents.

Rengoku: If what we just overheard is accurate, that means you two work before dawn, selling off those tasty box lunches of yours. You both have my thanks. People like you should never have to worry about being in life-threatening danger.

Y/n: You're the kinda people I want to see more of.

Rengoku: Rest assured! Me and my young colleague here will eliminate the Slasher.

Fuku: Just who are you two?

Y/n: Let's just say... we are friends.

He patted Fuku's shoulder before walking off.

Rengoku: Farewell.

Rengoku turned to go after him, but Fuku stopped them.

Fuku: Wait!

She picked up her tray.

Fuku: Um, if you don't mind... could either of you buy a few box lunches?

Rengoku: Good idea. Yes... I'll buy them all!

The Demon Slayer had all the bento boxes in bundles.

Demon Slayer: Wow. This is a lot.

Rengoku: A gift for the other Corps members. I'll be going on alone with Young L/n now. Thanks for your hard work.

Y/n: Be sure to keep up the good fight.

Rengoku: Goodbye.

The two took their birds with them and got on the train and it left the station. They sat in the train for a bit until the conductor barged in.

Conductor: Who are you two?

Rengoku undid the bundles to show the lunch boxes.

Rengoku: As you can see, we are box lunch vendors, which isn't suspicious at all.

Y/n: Ignoring that last part, we wish to deliver these to the people working on the Mugen Train.

Conductor: Mugen Train?

Y/n: Yes. This train is going to a shed where the Mugen Train is, right?

Conductor: Well, it is going to a shed, but the Mugen Train is no longer there.

Rengoku: Where is it?

Conductor: It was actually transported to a well-equipped maintenance facility just this morning. Right over there.

He pointed out the window and the two Slayers saw the facility.

Rengoku: I see.

Y/n: If that's the case...

Y/n opened the window.

Y/n: This is where I get off.

Y/n jumped out the window and to the conductor's shock and horror.

Rengoku: I'll go after him.

Rengoku ran to the back of the train with the bento boxes and jumped off to a different set of tracks where he met up with Y/n whose arm was bent in an unholy way.

Rengoku: That looks painful!

Y/n: Oh, believe me. It would be.

Y/n reset his arm.

Y/n: But the thing about us L/n's is we train until we can't feel anything. That's what makes us such good Demon Slayers.

The Slayers' birds landed on their respective owners shoulders.

Rengoku: Let us move.

They walk towards the facility and saw a train in front of them that had the kanji for...

Rengoku/Y/n: The Mugen Train.

Rengoku: It's faint, but there are still traces of a demon.

???: Hey, you two.

They turned to see a worker covered in engine grease.

Worker: You know this place is off limits, right?

Rengoku: Pardon us, but we were sent here by the railway bureau to deliver these box lunches.

Y/n sat the lunches he was carrying down.

Y/n: You've been working so hard, so don't be shy.

All the workers began taking the lunches when the worker they were talking to gave another worker a box lunch.

Worker: Here. Take one up to Tatsu in the office. He might still be there.

Worker 2: Leave it to me, Chief!

Rengoku: Just curious, why is the Mugen Train here?

Chief: (small chuckle) It's a bit of an odd situation, but the word on the street is that it's somehow become a man-eating train. You don't know how bitter that makes us. But they need her back in service on the railways, so we have to get her up and moving. Just wish they gave us more time is all.

Rengoku: It's returning?

Chief: Yeah. Starts tomorrow night. That's why all of us are here.

Y/n: Sending out a train that more than a thousand people disappeared on sounds stupid and just goddamn irresponsible.

Rengoku: Young L/n, I oughtta give you a spanking for using that kind of language!

Y/n and Rengoku tensed up as they felt an ominous presence and everyone heard a scream, so Rengoku and Y/n rushed into action.

Rengoku's crow: Demon! There's a demon here!

Hatake: No shit!

They ran over to see the worker the chief sent to give Tatsu food shivering. They followed his eyes to see a bald demon with blue stripes on it. The two Slayers were about to draw their swords, but the demon revealed it had a young man as hostage.

Demon: Easy there.

The demon had its nails in the man's stomach and face, not deep enough to be in immediate danger, but enough to draw blood. That's when the chief and a few workers ran over to them.

Chief: Tatsu!

Rengoku: Stand back!

Tatsu: Somebody help!

Chief: You bastard.

Rengoku: Let him go at once!

Demon: Demon Slayers? How annoying. Ugh, what is that stench?

The demon saw a box lunch on the ground and stomped on it which annoyed Rengoku.

Demon: You know, since I became a demon, just a smell of human food is enough to make me want to vomit.

Rengoku: How dare you insult a box lunch made by the pure of heart?

Y/n: A child and her kindly grandmother made that.

Rengoku: You'll pay for that.

Demon: It's not my fault it smells revolting. Speaking of which, your blood is revolting as well, isn't it?

The demon began to dig his nails deeper into Tatsu's stomach and that made him bleed more.

Demon: Humans that smell tasty, I devour, while the ones that reek like you are more fun to just play with.

Rengoku: So that's what you're about, Slasher? How despicable.

Y/n: Such dishonor will not go unpunished.

Slasher: If you find me that reprehensible...

The Slasher's marks began to glow and he zoomed all around them.

Slasher: Then do something about it!

The chief stepped back in shock and the other workers began to run out of there.

Chief: What's going on?

Slasher: Can you try and guess who's faster than me?

Y/n: I can give you three. An Upper Rank demon. A Hashira. And me.

Y/n crouched down and took a deep breath.

Y/n: Total Consideration. Bird Breathing, First Form: Praying Flock.

Y/n began jumping all over the place and clashed with the Slasher a few times until Y/n ended up with Tatsu and the Slasher lost both his arms.

Slasher: You bastard kid...

Y/n: Are you alright, sir?

Tatsu: I... I don't know.

Rengoku: Don't worry. You're safe now and we will keep it that way.

The Slasher re-grew his arms.

Slasher: You wouldn't think that if you saw me last night. I cut this woman up until I got tired of doing it.

Rengoku: I see. Now I know how fast you are. But I wouldn't get too cocky. Last night, we thought you fled because we showed up, but apparently you never even detected us to begin with. You are quick... quick to run away, at least!

Slasher: What was that?

Rengoku: We were able to treat your victim from last night after you fled. She'll recover without a single scar.

Slasher: (scoff) Even if you are telling the truth, she's doomed to live in constant fear for the rest of her pathetic little life.

Y/n: She won't actually. See, before I came here, I saw the woman and I did some hypnotic therapy that my mentor, Urokodaki, taught me. She's forgotten all about your attack and thinks it was nothing more than a simple fall on the way home.

Slasher: (scoff) Now I know what I'll be doing after I deal with you two. I'm going to do everything in my power to kill that woman.

Rengoku: Her location is classified. You will never be able to locate her.

Y/n: And even if you could, there's no way we'll let you survive this night.

The Slasher grunted then turned to the box lunch he crushed.

Slasher: Then how about those box-lunch vendors?

Rengoku: Those folks have nothing to do with this.

Slasher: But you do know them, right? Those are station lunches. I'll find out who made 'em.

Y/n: You have no honor.

Slasher: But I'm sure having a great time. If you wanna play hero, you'll just have to get to the station before me.

The Slasher ran off.

Y/n: We have to go after him.

Rengoku: You go on ahead, Young L/n. I must stay and treat this boy's injuries.

Y/n nodded and ran outside the warehouse where the Slasher was waiting.

Slasher: Keep up.

The Slasher ran ahead at sonic speed and Y/n ran after him.

With Rengoku.

Rengoku was taking care of Tatsu's injuries while the rest of the grew watched.

Chief: No. Can you save him?

Rengoku: He'll be all right. Just leave it to me. Also my other comrades will be here soon to help out.

Four Demon Slayers ran in at that moment.

Female Demon Slayer: Lord Rengoku.

Rengoku: Where's medical?

Female Demon Slayer: They're on their way.

Rengoku: I've given him first aid. He's yours now.

The Demon Slayer nodded and Rengoku ran in the direction of Y/n and the Slasher.

Rengoku: (Thinking: Total Consideration Breathing.)

Rengoku took a deep breath and began to pick up the pace until flames trailed behind him.

At the station.

Fuku and her grandmother were pushing a cart of box lunches.

Grandmother: You really didn't need to come. I have it under control.

Fuku: If I say I'm going to help, I'm going to help.

They reached the station and were greeted by the Station Master.

Fuku: Good morning, sir!

Station Master: Hey there! You're here early as ever.

The two began to set up shop.

Fuku: All right.

Fuku felt someone watching her and turned to see a figure in the darkness.

Fuku: Station Master?

Figure: It smells. It smells. It's you, isn't it, carrying around the stench of these vile box lunches?

The figure stepped into the light and it was the Slasher. Fuku stepped back in fear.

Slasher: It's nothing personal, kid. I just have a score to settle with some Demon Slayers.

A box lunch hit the Slasher's head and the person who threw it was Fuku's grandmother.

Grandmother: Make a run for it! Quick!

Slasher: (coughing and hacking) What's the big idea, you hag?

Fuku made a run to the back and made it on to the tracks when the Slasher caught up to her and pinned Fuku down by the throat and was about to finish her when his torso was stabbed and his arm grabbing Fuku's throat was cut off.

Slasher: Ah! What the hell?!

Y/n grabbed Fuku and jumped onto the station's roof.

Fuku: It's- It's you again.

Y/n: Are you alright, my friend?

Fuku: No. (gasp) My grandma!

The Slasher walked into the station, still bleeding from his wounds.

Slasher: Damn you.

Fuku's grandmother fell out of fear.

Slasher: You're gonna regret throwing that filth at me.

Rengoku showed up at the entrance of the station. That's when Slasher finally healed his wounds.

Slasher: Bastard. How the hell did you and that brat catch up to me?
Rengoku threw his haori over his shoulder, showing in shethed sword.

Rengoku: I told you not to get too cocky.

Slasher wiped some spit off of his mouth.

Slasher: How about we play a little game? I win if I can slash this old hag's throat open. You win if you sever my head before I do.

???: Not gonna happen.

Y/n cut off the Slasher's hand and saved Fuku's grandmother.

Y/n: You're done making innocent people your playthings, Slasher. You've lost.

Before the Slasher could say anything, Rengoku slashed his head off.

Rengoku: And we win. Flame Breathing, First Form: Unknowing Fire.

Fuku's grandmother saw Rengoku's stance and Y/n's sword and thought back to when she saw men like them who did the same things the present swordsmen were doing when they withdrew their weapons.

Y/n: Are you okay, ma'am?

The elderly woman began to cry.

Grandmother: I remember now. This isn't the first time you and your friend saved us. I'm sure of it.

Fuku showed up and walked next to grandmother.

Fuku: What do you mean?

Grandmother: How could I have forgotten your faces, the bright haori, (looks to Y/n) and that hair? It's you, isn't it? Please forgive me. You both saved my life before this. If it weren't for the two of you, her mother and I would have been killed 20 years ago.

Y/n: 20? I'm only 14, ma'am.

Fuku: Grandma, what are you talking about?

Rengoku: Ah, yes. You speak of our fathers. I followed my father's footsteps by becoming a Demon Slayer, and Y/n here did the same.

Y/n: Indeed. This sword I have has been passed down by my family for generations. It belonged to my father before me, and his father before him and so on.

Rengoku/Y/n: It is an honor that we have protected you as they did.

Fuku fell to her knees and took a breath.

Fuku: I still can't believe it. To think demons actually exist. I'm sorry for doubting you, Grandma. Y/n was right, I am ignorant.

Y/n: No, I should have never said that. When I said I want to see more of people like you, I meant people who don't have to live in fear of demons.

Y/n put his hands on Fuku's shoulders.

Y/n: Rest assured, me and the rest of the Demon Slayer Corps will stop at nothing to keep you and others safe.

Fuku just stared at Y/n before hugging him.

Fuku: Thank you. Thank you so much.

Y/n hugged back and the scene made Rengoku smile. That's when a Demon Slayer with some Kakushi showed up.

Demon Slayer: Flame Hashira! Master Y/n! Are you two all right?

Rengoku: Yes, and we have prevailed.

Demon Slayer: Then the demon is gone?

Rengoku: Right!

Demon Slayer: What about the Mugen Train?

Rengoku: The maintenance work will be done tonight, which means it will return tomorrow.

Demon Slayer: What a relief. So then everyone can relax now, right?

Y/n: Wrong. It was faint, but I could sense another demon when we were at the warehouse. And I could feel this demon is way stronger than the Slasher.

Demon Slayer: (slight gasp) You mean the Slasher was only here to serve as a distraction?

Rengoku: That might very well be true.

Demon Slayer: So then you'll be going?

Rengoku: Yes, tomorrow.

They saw the sunrising.

Rengoku: Or more accurately today!

Later at sunset.

Y/n and Rengoku entered the station when they were met by Fuku and her grandmother.

Fuku: Excuse me.

Rengoku: Hello, box-luncvendors!

Y/n: Master Rengoku, I think her real name is Fuku.

Fuku: It is. You both helped us so much. Words just don't feel enough.

Grandmother: We do have these, so please take some of the symbol of our gratitude.

Rengoku: Oh. Since I missed out on having my boxed lunch from last night, this is perfect!

Rengoku took the box Fuku's grandmother was holding for him.

Rengoku: All right, how much is it?

Fuku: It's free. But just for you. Oh, and you too, Y/n.

Fuku gave Y/n a box lunch.

Y/n: Thank you, but I can only accept this on one condition.

Fuku: What's that?

Y/n: You let me buy the rest of them.

Fuku: What?

Rengoku: Are you sure, Young L/n?

Y/n: You paid for it last time, so it's only fair.

Fuku: Are you sure?

Y/n: Yes. I heard about your struggles, so I hope to help just as my friend would if he was here.

Rengoku had two bundles while Y/n carried one on his back.

Grandmother: (head bow) Please be careful.

Fuku: Stop by again if you're in the area.

Y/n: I will.

Rengoku: I promise to tell my father that I came across you two. I'm sure he'll be thrilled.

Y/n: We must be off.

Rengoku: Take care now, and farewell.

The walked to the edge of the tracks and the train stopped in front of them. That's when Y/n saw three familiar people.

Y/n: You go ahead. I need to check something real quick.

Rengoku: Of course, but don't be long.

Y/n walked over to the others.

Inosuke: Hey, wait a damn minute. Wh-what the- What the hell is this creature?!

Fuku gave a box lunch to another passenger.

Fuku: Here! On First Class box lunch, as requested. Anything else? Tea or sake, perhaps?

She turned to see Inosuke screaming at the train.

Inosuke: Wait, could it be? I've heard of such a being! The master and ruler of this land! It's such an intimidating size! There's no mistaking it! It looks like it's asleep, but don't let that fool you!

Fuku: What's going on?

Zenitsu: It's a train. You never seen one?

Inosuke: Shush! Or you'll wake it! I'll lead the charge to take it down!

Tanjiro: Inosuke, stop! This might be the guardian spirit of this land. So we shouldn't be attacking it carelessly.

Zenitsu: Uh, I said it's a train. You've never seen one either? A vehicle for transportation.

Fuku then saw Y/n walk over to them

Y/n: Guys?

They turned to Y/n.

Tanjiro: Y/n!

Fuku: Y/n knows these guys?

Y/n: I see you got called to help with this Mission as well.

Zenitsu: Y/n, please tell me you know what this is.

Y/n: It's a train. What else would it be?

Tanjiro: This is what the crow was talking about?

Y/n: Yes, this is the Mugen Train. Considering you and Inosuke grew up on mountains, I'm not too surprised you don't know what it is.

Inosuke: What are you holding?

Y/n: These are bento boxes. As for why I have them, that's a bit of a long story that will have to wait. We need to get on board.

Y/n got on the train.

Y/n: What's taking them so long?

Y/n saw them getting chased by some policeman.

Y/n: Shit.

Y/n moved cars until he got to the car with Rengoku and sat with him.

Rengoku: What took so long, Young Y/n?!

Y/n: Saw my friends and a friend of theirs and thought I'd say hi. Now, I don't know about you, but I'm feeling a bit peckish.

Y/n took out a bento and so did Rengoku.

Y/n/Rengoku: (pray) Thank you, for the food.

Y/n adjusted his mask to eat with Rengoku.

Rengoku: We will savor every bite.

They began to eat.

Y/n/Rengoku: Tasty!

Preview.

Tanjiro: We were able to board the Mugen Train.

Zenitsu: I hope we get to meet the Flame Hashira. Isn't there something you want to ask him?

Tanjiro: Yeah.

Inosuke: Hashira? Bring it on, coward!

Zenitsu: How about you shut up for once in your life?

Inosuke: What did you say to me?

Zenitsu: I said zip it!

Tanjiro: We get it, Inosuke. Just please calm down now.

Zenitsu: Anyway, I wonder what kind of person the Flame Hashira is.

Tanjiro: Well, he's...

Tanjiro's crow flew over to them.

Tanjiro: It's the Kasugai Crow!

The crow chirped into Tanjiro's ear.

Tanjiro: Seems like the Kasugai Crow has looked into Mr. Rengoku for us.

Zenitsu: No way! Really?

Tanjiro: He said he was only able to find out how Y/n and the other Hashiras feel about Rengoku.

Zenitsu: Well, tell us what they said!

Inosuke: Bring it on, Hashiras! I'll take on all of you!

Zenitsu: Please just ignore him and tell me what the crow said.

Tanjiro: Right. Ms. Shinobu said...

How Kocho sees Rengoku.

Shinobu: I'd say he's a good person. Though, there are times when we're not on the same wavelength.

Zenitsu: Ms. Shinobu. You make me remember that sweet smell! And what about the others?

Tanjiro: Here's what the rest of them said!

To Tengen Uzui.

Uzui: Flashy! He sticks out more than me. A great guy when you get to know him.

To Muichiro Tokito.

Tokito: He's similar to an owl. That cheery voice of his is comforting to hear.

To Mitsuri Kanroji.

Mitsuri: He's practically a big brother! I had so much fun training with him! He's given me so much love!

To Obanai Iguro.

Iguro: He talks a lot. He has a good personality.

To Sanemi Shinazugawa.

Shinazugawa: He's a pretty good guy.

To Gyomei Himejima.

Gyomei: Always positive. Never whines about anything. Simply honest.

Tanjiro: Something along the lines of that.

Zenitsu: Wait, what about Mr. Tomioka? Or Y/n.

Tanjiro: He's right, Kasugai Crow. What about them?

The crow cawed.

Tanjiro: Okay, right. I see what you're saying. They said this about Mr. Rengoku.

To Giyu Tomioka.

Tomioka: I quite like when he talks with me.

To Y/n L/n.

Y/n: He's a great man. An inspiration for all Demon Slayers, including me.

Tanjiro: That's it.

Zenitsu: Wow. Seems like everyone loves the Flame Hashira, don't you think?

Tanjiro: Yeah. I can't wait to see him again.

Inosuke: (cackle) Flame Hashira, fight me!

Inosuke ran ahead.

Tanjiro: Wait a second!

Inosuke kept running until he ran into Rengoku.

Tanjiro: (gasp) Mr. Rengoku!

Y/n: Master Rengoku, these were the friends I was telling you about.

Rengoku: Up next, Demon Slayer: Mugen Train Arc x Male Reader, Chapter 2, "A Deep Sleep"! Let's all board the Mugen Train together!

Tanjiro/Zenitsu/Inosuke: Big Bro!

To Be Continued.
