"Let's go." Tanjiro stated as he stood up. The three of you walking hand-in-hand, stoping for a moment to look back at your families' graves.

He looked forward, then started running, with you and Nezuko with him.

The sun was now high up. We had already dropped off Nezuko at a cave.

We were walking by the rice fields, me under a parasol in order not to be burned by the sun.

"Excuse me. Can you give me the basket, some bamboo and straw?" Tanjiro asked the man working in one of the fields.

"I don't mind. But the basket has a hole." The person responded. "Alright, I'll pay you." Tanjiro added.

"No, you don't have to. It's torn anyway." The man tried to wave us off. "No, I want to pay." Tanjiro insisted.

"No need. I'll give you the bamboo and straw too." He assured.

"I still want to pay you!" Tanjiro exclaimed. "No you don't, you're such a stubborn kid!" The man argued.

Tanjiro pulled out a few coins from his sleeve and slammed it into the man's hand, making me sweatdrop in the background.

"Please accept this I only have coins!" Tanjiro exclaimed, then running off with the basket, bamboo, and straw. Me following behind him. "Thank you very much!" He added.

"Nezuko... That's odd. Nezuko? Where are you?..." Tanjiro called out to Nezuko, I was crouching beside him, the parasol over myself.

Nezuko poked her head out from the hole with a sad expression. "There you are..." He said while you scooted into the cave, then slumped down next to Nezuko.

'Nezuko... You dug a hole...? Nezuko became like a mole... Plus, she lookes really upset. She really doesn't want to be under the sun.' Tanjiro thought.

"Wait for a while." He said standing up, in which you nodded in response, and started patting Nezuko's head.

"Nezuko. Nezuko. Do you want to get inside? I want to continue with our journey during the day. I will carry you... Get in here. Here, the basket." Tanjiro gesture to the basket, while Nezuko got out the hole.

She's such a cutie!! I still can't believe I'm her sister, even after remembering how I got yeeted out my mother's vagina, when I was born-

Man, I was really reincarnated as their sister.

Nezuko pushed herself inside the basket but only half of her body fits, making me giggle, she's way cuter in person!

'You can't fit inside... It seems like Nezuko has grown up. She used to be smaller last time.' He thought with a smile.

"Nezuko. Previously, you suddenly grew up and became a woman. Can you reverse the effect and become smaller? Be smaller Nezuko. Can you become smaller?" He asked patting her back.

Nezuko dove her head into the basket with the rest of her body, shrinking. I jumped up to see her squealing. Tanjiro giggled.

"Sagiri Mountain?... If you want to go to Sagiri Mountain, you must cross that mountain first. But the sun is setting. Do you want to go there while carrying this huge baggage? And with a child? It will be dangerous." The lady informed.

"I will be very careful." Tanjiro reassured grabbing my hand.

I just previously found out I can alter my size too. And it's way more cuter than my 15-year old appearance. I just had to stay like this.

"Thank you very much." Tanjiro bowed, and we started walking to the direction the lady pointed.

"Recently, many people have been missing mysteriously. Don't get lost!" The lady added as she waved at us, in which we both waved back.

It was now dark, me, Nezuko and Tanjiro are walking together along the path across the mountain. It honestly feels creepy.

"There's a shrine." Tanjiro stated as he stopped. "The light is on, there must be someone inside. Let's see." He added looking at us.

A scent hit his nose, he crunched his face and looked up at the shrine; "The smell of blood." He muttered.

"This mountain road is very steep. Someone must have hurt themselves." Tanjiro added, running up holding both our hands.

"Are you okay?!" He asked, opening the sliding door.
