Chaos Just Chaos! (Demon Slayer)

Changing Things

"Oh, I use Sun Breathing," Yoriichi replied, his voice laced with a quietness that spoke volumes about his skill as a demon hunter.

Shinobu and Tengen exchanged a perplexed look as Yoriichi revealed his mastery of the Sun Breathing technique. Before they could question him further, Gyomei descended from his room and greeted them all with a booming "Good morning!" in his deep voice.

"Morning, Gyomei!" they chorused in response.

Giyu and Nezuko followed shortly after, with Giyu receiving playful teasing from Shinobu for oversleeping.

"Eh~ Tomioka, you overslept," she jested, "It seems you're getting older and lazier!"

As Zenitsu caught sight of Nezuko, he couldn't help but let out a loud "Nezuko-chan!" - prompting Sanemi to swiftly bonk him on the head.

As Zenitsu whimpered in pain, Sanemi glared at him. "Your screaming hurts my ears, brat," he growled. Kanae appeared and chided Sanemi for bullying kids. "Ara-ara, Sanemi, it's not a good thing to bully kids," Kanae said, her soft voice ringing out as she walked down the stairs into the living room. Sanemi stopped hitting Zenitsu and turned to look at her, a faint flush of embarrassment on his cheeks. Despite his tough exterior, he was always a little flustered around Kanae, whom he secretly had a crush on.

"Kanae, good morning," Gyomei greeted her with a warm smile, always happy to see her. Tengen grinned and winked at her, feeling a bit mischievous as usual. Yoriichi nodded in greeting, his stoic expression giving nothing away. While Shinobu gave her a friendly, warm smile.

Meanwhile, Tanjiro and Aoi were busy setting the table for breakfast, placing plates and silverware with practiced ease. Nezuko, ever the helper, carried a tray of freshly baked bread to the table and began to slice it up. As soon as the food was set on the table, Inosuke couldn't contain his hunger anymore and practically pounced towards it.

Aoi quickly intervened, scolding him with a raised finger, "Hold yourself, Inosuke! Everyone needs to be here before we start eating," she scolded him, pointing a finger. "Or else no food for you!" As Inosuke tried to grab a piece of sandwich, Aoi playfully slapped his hand away. In the meantime, Kanae scanned the room and noticed some missing faces. "Namely, Mitsuri, Iguro, Muichiro, Kanao, and Genya," she listed the absentees.

Kanao returned from the garden, exclaiming about the stunning flowers she had just watered. Kanae smiled in agreement, admiring both her sister's green thumb and her kind heart. Kanao then made her way over to Tanjiro and engaged in conversation, bringing a sense of joy to Kanae as she watched her sister thrive. Kanae couldn't help but notice the way Kanao looked at Tanjiro, sensing a potential romantic connection that only added to her happiness.

Just as Kanae was lost in thought, Mitsuri and Iguro entered, with Genya trailing behind. "Finally, you guys are here!" Rengoku exclaimed, grinning from ear to ear. Mitsuri blushed and apologized, "I'm sorry, I was just indecisive about what to wear. I wanted to look my best for everyone." Iguro, who had a stoic expression on his face, added, "I was merely assisting her." Genya, a bit embarrassed, said, "And I was perfecting my hairstyle. Sorry for the delay."

Inosuke let out a loud growl as his impatience got the best of him. "I'm starving over here!" he exclaimed, flexing his muscles for emphasis. "To be honest, I am hungry too!" Tanjiro's said, his stomach chimed in with a rumble, drawing laughter from the group. Gyomei remained unfazed, continuing his prayer while Inosuke fidgeted with growing frustration. Just as he was about to erupt, a timid figure descended the stairs.

Muichiro arrived, appearing a bit dazed but still collected. In his grasp was a large rectangular object with a foundation and a monitor, reminiscent of the sizable one in the living room but much smaller. The gadget was wired to a device encasing Muichiro's ears. He looked extremely tired and sleepy but somehow composed himself and said, "Good morning, everybody and Tanjiro" He then walked towards the dining table and sat his gadget beside his plate.
