Inside the Tsugikuni residence, located in the forest of the Shiganshina District, Kie Tsugikuni was on the bed giving birth. Tanjuro was beside the bed on both knees, holding onto one of Kie's hands. Grisha Yeager was there to help the two couples deliver the baby.
Kie: *Pain* Tanjuro, I'm scared. What if...
Despite her crushing his hand as she desperately tries to give birth to their child, Tanjuro gently squeezes her hand, doing his best to comfort her.
Tanjuro: *Calm Tone* There's no need to be scared, my love. I'm right here. I'm still here. You can do this.
Kie: *Pain* Tanjuro... Please don't let me go.
Tanjuro: *Calm Tone* I will never, ever let you go. I promise. Now push.
Feeling the growing strength of her husband's words, she gives the final push as she lets out a scream of agony and relief. After Kie's final push, Grisha was now holding a newborn baby boy wrapped around in a white blanket.
