Shirazumi, Tanjiro, and Nezuko continue to walk down the mountain. The weather is still cloudy making Shirazumi and Nezuko safe from the sun.

But it didn't last long.

Finally, the sun began to shine again, removing the dark clouds that had been blocking its light.

Exposure to sunlight made Nezuko and Shirazumi's bodies emit smoke.

Tanjiro quickly took out the cloth he had brought, then covered Shirazumi and Nezuko's bodies with it.

While holding hands of his two sisters, Tanjiro rushed to find a shade that was not exposed to direct sunlight. Finally, Tanjiro saw a small cave that looks like a man-made cave.

Tanjiro told his sisters to enter the deepest part of the cave. There, the sunlight doesn't reach the inside. Then Tanjiro also entered the cave.

The three of them sit together, Shirazumi and Tanjiro discussing what to do next. Shirazumi and Nezuko can't walk during the day, while Tanjiro wants to head to Mount Sagiri as soon as possible.

Shirazumi thought until finally she got an idea.

"Tanjiro, do you still remember when Nezuko turned into the size of an adult? Maybe Nezuko could do the opposite". Shirazumi explained what she thought.

"That's right! Nezuko, can you be small? Be small Nezuko" Tanjiro answered then while stroking Nezuko's head, Tanjiro asked Nezuko to turn smaller.

Sure enough, Nezuko became smaller. The kimono she uses now looks loosened because of her shrinking body.

"Now, if she is as small as now, Nezuko can be taken using a basket or something, then cover it with a cloth" Shirazumi said looking at her little sister who now looked like a 4 or 5 year old child.

"What about Nee-chan? Can you also do the same?" Tanjiro asked his sister.

Shirazumi paused to think about Tanjiro's words. She closed her eyes then thought about a child. Turn small like a child ...

But nothing has changed. Shirazumi is still the size of a 15 year old gilrl.

"Looks like ... I can't ... hehe ..." Shirazumi said while chuckling.

"Hmm ..." Shirazumi and Tanjiro thought while crossing their arms. Nezuko, who saw her two older siblings, joined them crossed her arms.

"I know!!" Tanjiro said breaking the silence.

"For Nezuko, I will look for a bamboo basket. As for Nee-chan, I will find a wide straw hat. Nee-chan can sew a cloth on the hat. With that, you can also walk during the day. Tanjiro explained.

"It's worth a try. Good job Tanjiro!" Praised Shirazumi while giving a thumbs-up to Tanjiro. Again, Nezuko followed her sister's movements.

"You two wait here. I'll find it in no time". Tanjiro said before finally going out looking for the items needed.

In the cave, now only Shirazumi and Nezuko waiting for their brother. The sun is getting higher. Because the cave was not too deep, the sunlight gradually entered the cave.

Shirazumi and Nezuko continued to retreat until approaching the end of the cave. 

Nezuko who had returned to her original body suddenly began to dig the ground. After creating a hole that wasn't too deep, Nezuko entered the hole. While Nezuko sitting in the hole she created, Shirazumi only can see part of Nezuko's head.
