A New Beginning

Family

Worried, Giyuu decided drag the man out of the street which thankfully wasn't so full, or even with people at all.

After finally arriving at the house and being (forcibly) invited inside. The swordsmith could finally introduced himself.

"My name is Haganezuka, I am the one who forged the sword which will be used by Tomioka Giyuu. This is the nirichin blade. It's prime materials are the crimson sand and the crimson iron which are both bathed in the sun's rays every day---"

"Would you like some tea?" Tanjiro, posing out of the hall, innocently interrumpted the conversation after finding out a new face.

And it took more than 5 minutes for Haganezuka to answer.

"Are you the the scarlet red boy?" Giyuu switched her eyes between the blacksmith and Tanjiro.

The what now.

"If that child where to become a swordsman I'm sure he will be a hashira in no time."

Well that's... true...wait--

"Hashi?" Tanjiro looked around before answering. "We don't have scarlet tea. Sorry." Giyuu might die at the small toddler Tanjiro just innocently looking around for the tea.

"That's not what the man asked for Tanjiro."

"Any tea is fine."

Could have started with that. Giyuu turned to the man.

"And what is a scarlet boy?"

"It is A kid with red hair and bright crimson eyes, born from parents that are the closest to the sun, the heavens bless them with a fine child that no doubt would have a red nirichin blade, as red as their eyes and hair."

Giyuu had been sure that Tanjiro's blade was black in the dreams, though...

After battling Akaza, the blade had been red.

"A lucky child?"

"A gift of the heavens."

He isn't wrong.

"Why?"

"Didn't I just explained it?" he deadpanned, taking out the bandages that covered the nirichin blade.

"I mean how do you know all of this stuff."

"There was a man, one of the greatest swordsmans to ever live, he was so strong that even Muzan himself feared him or so they say."

A man like that existed.
Her eyes widened for a moment, someone so strong that even the king of demons who had to be taken out by drugs, the help of other demons and even 5 hashiras or 9 of them if you count Tanjiro and his friends being in that power level.

There was a man who could put Muzan in his place alone.

And all this time I tought the Hinokami Kagura was just a dance made from watching the breathing techniques.

"He was the breath user of the Sun, but in the end he let Muzan escape and was exiled from the Corps, by then there is also a rumour that his brother was turned into a demon too."

"H-he has a brother?!" are there any descendants then?

"Yes, but it was a long time ago so he must have been killed by a hashira."

"And descendants of either of them?!"

"Only Oyakata-Sama knows."

It could be one of the Hashiras then...
