"Caw! Caw! Tanjiro! You are to head to mugan train! Disappearances of people and demon slayers! Go now!"

Tanjiro sighs as he sands up and walks out of butterfly mansion, while walking he sees a large mansion being built and several workers putting up a wall

Tanjiro then sees a kakushi, it was a female and was shorter then tanjiro as she looks surprised and bows

"Master kamodo! Your estate is almost finish! It will be complete in 3 days!"
" *chuckles* why thank you madam, may I say you have such a lovely voice and your eyes are a sight to behold...."

Tanjiro looks at the female kakushi, her eyes looked like polished sapphire and her voice sounded sweet and caring like a mother. The kakushi blushed heavily as here was this handsome young, strong, kind and respectful man complimenting her

"T-thank you master k-kamodo....."
"Oh please madam, call me tanjiro"
"O-ok master tanjiro.........g-goodbye!"

With a quick bow the female ran away cupping her cheeks and blushing like crazy

"Kyaaaa! He was so kind and handsome! A-am in love!"

Tanjiro then smelled a familiar scent and turned around to spot Shinobu trying to sneak up on him

"Ara ara~ you caught me red handed"
"I sure did, good morning Shinobu"

Tanjiro said bowing to Shinobu making her giggle

"You don't have to bow, tanjiro. We are both pillars"
"But you are so strong and smart, you are so nice and caring that I can't just not show respect towards you without bowing"

Shinobu was surprised to say the least, she was compliment before but tanjiro was bowing to her as if he was lower rank then her despite both being pillars and tanjiro clearly being the more strongest of the two

She smiled softly as she pats tanjiro's head

"Thank you tanjiro, but may I ask. Why do respectful towards women?"

Tanjiro then stood up looking down at her as he breathed in and had a smile remembering his family

"Well my mother was beautiful and so kind to me, she along side my aunt cared for me and raised me with love and care. My big brother also respected women and always told me and my mother and aunt to 'always respect women' so I view women with great admiration and respect just like my aunt and mother as well as to all women"

Shinobu then felt something, her chest felt a bit light and she stared in surprised towards tanjiro. His smile and kind personality along side his respect towards women made her feel something in her chest

She couldn't explain it, it felt like her heart was floating in the sky and felt like a tingly warmth inside her, tanjiro then gently grabbed her hands snapping her out of her thoughts

"Your so beautiful as well, it just adds to your already perfect personality. Any man would love to marry you Shinobu"

She then felt her cheek heat up and before she knew it, her cheeks had a bit of a dusted blush and a surprised look in her eyes

"I-I........thank you......tanjiro"
"Anytime, Shinobu but I have a mission to go to, I'll be back and when I return I'll get you some flowers!"
