3RD PERSON POV
Time have passed rimuru, tanjiro, inosuke, and Zenitsu recovered from their injuries.
They are now waiting for Raphael, Matsuemon, and Zenitsu's sparrow ukogi, which Zenitsu gave it to the nickname chuntaro.
Once the birds came, they were given the mission to go to Mt. Natagumo.
They got ready to leave, and as they were outside, the mansion greeted the old lady godd bye.
Tanjiro: Thank you for everything
Rimuru: Yes, thanks for letting us rest here
Lady: I'll bestow good luck upon you
Rimuru: Thank you, we appreciate it
Inosuke: (good luck?)
Tanjiro, Rimuru, and Zenitsu turned around, while inosuke confused on what was going on, I took a closer look.
The old lady clicks the flints twice.
Inosuke, not knowing why she clicked the flints, he got angry, thinking she is trying to set them on fire.
Inosuke: WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!
Rimuru and tanjiro quickly grabbed inosuke while Zenitsu stood in front of the old lady to protect her.
Zenitsu: STOP THAT, YOU IDIOT!
Inosuke: WHAT DID YOU SAY?!
Zenitsu: IT'S CEREMONIAL! WE'RE GOING ON A JOIRNEY, AND STRIKING SPARKS IS FOR GOOD LUCK!
After a while, inosuke calmed down.
Lady: Always live your life in a fashion where you are able to hold your heads up high. I wish you luck in battle
The four ran to their next mission with inosuke looking back at the mansion, still confused by a lot of things.
As they we're on their way, Inosuke started to ask questions.
Inosuke: "HEADS UP HIGH"? "LUCK IN BATTLE"? WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSE TO MEAN?
Zenitsu: (jeez, this guy's totally clueless)
Rimuru: I'm honestly not sure what those word ment myself
Tanjiro: Yeah, it's a little difficult to explain
Rimuru: Hey, raphael?
Raphael flew closer to them.
Raphael: Understood. The phrase "To hold your head high" refers to whatever hand one is given in life they are able to conduct themselves in a way they could be confident or not feel ashamed
Inosuke: Huh?
Raphael: And wishing you four luck in battle simply implies that, she will pray for your safety and victory
Inosuke: WELL, WHAT ABOUT THE "HAND ONE IS GIVEN"? WE HAVE TWO HANDS ALREADY! AND WHY SHOULD WE BE ASHAMED?
Raphael: the phrase "hand one is given" refers to the resources one has available which could mean a variety of things, such as one's physical strength, or the tools, skills, and weapons they poses to deal with a given situation
Inosuke: Like our swords for slaying demons?
Raphael: That is one example, correct. And being ashamed simply implies something one regrets
Rimuru: So, in other words, we just have to make sure we don't have any regrets
Raphael: correct
Inosuke: THEN WHY IS THAT OLD HAG PRAYING FOR OUR SAFETY IN THE FIRST PLACE?! SHE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH US, SO WHAT'S HER GAME, HUH?!
