"But."
Kagaya abruptly changed the subject, turning his face to Giyu Tomioka was standing in the background.
"Tanjiro's situation is special, after all. To ensure everything goes smoothly..."
"So Giyu!"
"Your subordinate is here." Giyu bowed slightly.
"All matters concerning Tanjiro's future, including his recuperation, subsequent training, and safety supervision during his time with the Demon Slayer Corps, are entirely entrusted to you."
Kagaya smiled and gave this convenient order to shift the blame.
"After all, you're the only one here who can suppress him."
"Your subordinate obeys. I will certainly not fail in my Oyakata-sama's trust." Giyu accepted this heavy responsibility without expression.
"Then, let's adjourn today's meeting."
Kagaya inquired about the injuries of the Pillars with concern and told them to rest well before leaving the conference room with the help of Lady Amane.
The Oyakata-sama had just left.
The pillars, who had been sitting upright, suddenly stood up as if their bottoms had caught fire, one by one sprinting at top speed.
"I'm going to get a good meal to replenish my energy. I don't want to stay in this lousy place for another second!"
Sanemi, grumbling and cursing, was the first to rush out the door.
"This is too shabby. I'm going back to my wives for some comfort." Tengen followed closely behind.
In less than a minute, the Pillars, who had been tormented by Tanjiro and Giyu, these two "monsters," and were exhausted both physically and mentally, ran faster than rabbits and disappeared without a trace.
In the huge conference room.
Soon, only Giyu Tomioka, Kanae Kocho, and Sabito, who was standing in the corner preparing to tidy up the tea set, remained.
"Call..."
Giyu looked at the empty room and gently exhaled a breath of stale air.
This long day has finally come to an end.
He had just stood up, preparing to go to the medical room to see if that unfortunate punching bag, Tanjiro, had woken up yet.
Just then!
A breeze carrying the sweet fragrance of peaches and Wisteria suddenly swept over me!
"Mr. Giyu —you were absolutely stunning on the battlefield today!!"
"Thump!"
Accompanied by a sweet and lovely cheer.
Kanae Kocho completely disregarded the fact that Sabito was right there in front of her.
Like a clingy cat that has finally found its owner, she opened her arms and jumped into Giyu Tomioka's arms!
Her long, smooth, black hair cascaded down like a waterfall into Giyu's arms, a few strands playfully brushing against Giyu neck, bringing a slightly itchy, tingling sensation.
On her exquisitely beautiful face, slightly tilted up, her moist pink eyes seemed to hold an entire starry sky of spring, overflowing with love that was almost tangible.
A pair of long, straight, fair legs playfully crossed and wrapped around Giyu's legs, as if trying to lock him up completely.
Kanae buried her face deeply in Giyu's neck, greedily inhaling his scent:
"I really like you, I like you so much, Mr. Giyu!"
Faced with this sudden "honey trap".
For once, two suspicious blushes appeared on Giyu Yong's usually expressionless face.
His breathing even became slightly erratic, almost imperceptible.
"Hey!!"
A roar filled with resentment, bitterness, and extreme rage came from the side.
"You two! Aren't you going a bit too far?!"
Sabito stood to the side with her arms crossed, her pinkish-white medium-length hair cascading down her back, looking utterly exasperated.
"This is a solemn conference room! And the curtains aren't even drawn!"
Sabito pointed angrily at the two people hugging each other, his sarcastic spirit burning brightly.
"Don't you two ever hide anything from others when you're dating?!"
"My senior brother is still standing here, alive and breathing!"
"Watch your image a little, Red Egg! Being single is a life too!"
Faced with the frantic protests of the Sabito.
Kanae, nestled in Giyu's arms, didn't shy away.
Instead, it rubbed against Giyu's chest comfortably a couple of times.
She turned her head slightly, looked at the exasperated Sabito, and a beautiful smile, as sweet as the aroma of tea, bloomed on her face:
"Oh, what does it matter?"
Kanae's tone revealed a natural, innocent charm.
"Anyway, Sabito is Giyu's senior apprentice, and besides, I also trained under Master Urokodaki for a while~"
Kanae skillfully established a connection, her smile radiant.
"Come to think of it, Mr. Sabito is also my senior brother!"
"Since we're all family, what's wrong with being a little more affectionate in front of family? Right, Sabito Brother Sabito?"
"Puff..."
The Sabito was so choked by the phrase "family" that it almost vomited blood on the spot.
What the hell is this family?!
Who wants to eat this free dog food?!
What am I staying for?!
To witness how my wooden junior brother reaches the pinnacle of life and finds himself surrounded by sweethearts?!
"Cough..."
Finally--,
Overwhelmed by the suffocating sweetness, Giyu Tomioka coughed with difficulty.
His face, now completely red, was really embarrassed.
Giyu stretched out his somewhat stiff hands and very restrainedly placed them on Kanae's rounded shoulders.
"Butterfly... let go first."
Giyu a slight effort, Yi Yong pushed that incredibly soft and delicate body away from his embrace, creating a tactical distance.
He turned his head, his deep blue eyes glancing awkwardly at Sabito, who was still rolling his eyes.
"That..."
Giyu cleared his throat.
"Sabito" (Qiantu)
"What?!"
Sabito rolled his eyes in annoyance, bracing himself for his junior brother's apology.
"I'm hungry after a long day."
Giyu Tomioka extended the invitation, his tone slightly concealing his embarrassment:
It's just time for dinner.
"Would you... like to stay and have dinner with us?"
"..."
Sabito looked at his junior brother, whose face was as red as a monkey's bottom, yet he was still trying to appear calm and inviting him to dinner.
Then look at the stunningly beautiful woman next to her, covering her mouth and giggling, her Flower Hashira filled with nothing but Giyu.
In its heart Sabito let out the most desperate cry of a single dog in its life:
"Eat! Eat my ass!"
"I'm so full I'm about to burst!!"
