The shock of Kyujuro's retirement ended but some were still concerned at this point.
Tengen: "No! I flamboyantly disagree! Your skills are needed in the demon slayer corps! Wouldn't it be unflamboyant to not have a flamboyant man like you!?"
Rengoku: "Ha!-Ha!-Ha! Do not worry, my dear hashira as I am fully appreciative over your compliment! But, it would be good for me to retire. I am quite injured, you see? I would've died if it weren't for my saviour, Shenju Yūta!"
Shinobu: "Ara~ I can tell how grateful you must be!"
Muichiro: *looks up at the clouds* "hey... Why did the clouds change positions? Wait.. it did?"
Sanemi decided not to join the conversation together with Giyu.
Mitsuri: "KYAAAAAH!"
Iguro was quick to question.
Iguro: "Huh!? What's wrong!?"
Mitsuri: "I just thought... R-Rengoku san, where did Yūta san head off to after your mission...?"
Rengoku: "Ah! My boy went back to the Infinity Castle with Akaza, Douma, Kokushibo and muzan... Wai-!"
Rengoku's voice lowered after every word he mentioned and slowly widened his eyes after realising where Shenju had gone.
Hashiras: "HE WHAT!?"
Ubuyashiki shushed them and smiled after as he concludes the end of the meeting.
___________
Meanwhile
Muzan: "Oh, so he likes it here?"
Douma: "Yes, lord."
Muzan: *chuckle* "What a surprise. Listen up."
The demons or better known as, "Upper moons" tilted their heads up as a sign for Muzan to continue his sentence.
Muzan: "I don't want any of you nearing his respect, okay?"
Upper moons: *nod*
Muzan: "Okay?"
Upper moons: "Yes, Lord!"
Muzan: "Dismissed."

Your POV
I woke up in my new bedroom as I lazily stood up to take a quick shower.
I checked my phone to see it was 100%. What a suprise to see that the demons prepared my room with an electricity plug.
After a quick cold shower, I wore my usual attire and escaped, Again.
Shenju: "Should be alright to pay a visit at the Butterfly Mansion."
As I thought of this, I got into my running stance and dashed at 5% speed, breaking my whole room.
A trail of dust followed as I prepared to land.
*BOOM*
The sound of my landing blasts off to everyone's ears, everyone as in Tanjiro, Zenitsu, Inosuke, Shinobu, Aoi, Kanao and the three kids.
____________
3rd person POV
Everyone ran outside to see the commotion.
Shinobu: "Is everything o-..!? Ara ara~ looks like you finally came."
Aoi: "Oh! It's just Yūta san! False alarm."
Kanao: *mumbling* "Yūta san..?"
Zenitsu: "Ahhh~ Marry m-!"
Shenju: "No"
Tanjiro: *hits zenitsu's back* "Zenitsu! It's bad to greet people in such a bad manner! *Turns to Shenju* "Hello, Yūta san! How are you?"
Tanjiro was hoping for a response but got interrupted by Inosuke.
Inosuke: "FIGHT MEE-"
Shenju: "No"
"S-Shenju channn~ can you be a little nicer to us?" Zenitsu says while crying with his hands clasped together.
Shenju: "I'm being as nice as I can so, will you kindly shut up?"
Everyone deadpanned at Shenju's "kindness" in the background as Zenitsu runs around with a loud wail.
Zenitsu: "AAAAAH! *Sniffle* "THAT ISN'T NICE BUT MARRY M-"
Shenju: "No."
Zenitsu: "Ple-!?"
Shenju: "No."
Zenitsu: "Bu-"
Shenju: "Not a chance."
Zenitsu begins wailing again as Aoi begins to chase him, along with Inosuke who thinks Aoi was challenging him.
Shenju: *sigh* "What a pain."
Shinobu: "You must be tired, Yūta san. How about you come in?"
Shenju nodded in response as Tanjiro, Kanao and the little trio followed.
Shinobu: "Would you like me to cook?"
And that was it. Once everyone heard it, they gave SIGNS.
Zenitsu: "Eheh! We would.. Love for you to cook!"
Also Zenitsu: *Whispering* "SHENJU, DON'T LET HER-"
Tanjiro: *does a hand sign that says, "SHENJU LISTEN TO ME, YOU'RE OUR ONLY HOPE" with a forced smile*
Inosuke: *staring deeply into Shenju's soul* "NO.. SINOBOO MADE US RAW FISH LAST TIME!"
Aoi: "E-Ehehehehe!"
Kanao: "..."
Three kids: "..."
Shinobu didn't notice the looks on everyone's faces but Shenju saw it all.
Shinobu: "Alright! I'll-"
Shenju: "No. I'll cook."
Everyone was used to his bluntness so it was alright.
Shenju began cooking.
Shenju made 3 recipes all at once.
He wiped some sweat off as he placed some empty plates down and on the table had the food in the middle of all the empty plates.
Everyone: "... EHHH?!"
Shinobu: "H-How!?"
Aoi: "This- This is better than mine!"
Inosuke: "NO IT ISN'T! *gets a plate of food and takes a bite* "ACTUALLY, IT IS!"
Everyone started to gobble up the food as Shenju secretly smiled, his negative thoughts changed into the parallel version of it.
"I actually feel a little... Happy."
Shenju thought as Shinobu caught his smile and quickly took a photo of it.
Shinobu: "Ara~ looks like someone's happy."
Tanjiro: "THIS- THIS IS DELICIOUS!"
Shenju: "Mh. I'll take my leave."
Shinobu: "No! Wait, just a while.
________
A few minutes later.
Someone suddenly arrives at the door, catching everyone's attention.
Shinobu smiled as the door busted open.
Tengen: "HEYA! HAVING FUN WITHOUT A FLAMBOYANT MAN LIKE ME?"
Iguro: "shush.."
Mitsuri: "KYAAAH! THE FOOD LOOKS SO YUMMY! WHO MADE THIS!?"
Everyone: "Shenju!"
Mitsuri grabs a plate and starts satisfying herself as the rest of the hashiras join.
Shenju gives Giyu some bread because Giyu wasn't really hungry.
As Giyu took. A bite, he noticed..
How perfect it tasted.
His head boomed up at Shenju and shouted, "WHO MADE THIS? ITS... ITS- *ahem* it's amazing."
Shinobu found his expression rare and took another picture of it.
Rengoku: "UMAI! UMAI! UMAI! UMAI! UMAI! UMAI! UMAI! UMAI! UMAI! UMAI! UMAI! UMAI! UMAI! UMAI! UMAI!"
Mitsuri joins in and starts chanting, "umai!" Per bite.
Gyomei: "Ah, how peaceful and warm my heart feels to see you all like this."
Shenju: " "see?" Is he not blind? Oh."
Muichiro: "But.. Shinobu.. You didn't send it."
Shinobu: "Ah! Yes, I forgot."
Shinobu takes her phone out and starts tapping it and clicked on something that made the hashiras phones ring.
They took a look at the notification, almost desperate to see and saw... A photo with a genuine smile on Shenju.
Shenju peeks over to Giyu's phone and understood what happened.
Shenju: "So, you guys have a group chat?"
Iguro: "Well, yeah. We were wondering if we could add you."
Shenju: "Okay."
Shenju switched his phone with Iguro's as they returned it. Iguro starts sending Shenju's number to them as they add him.
Shenju: "I'll head back to the infinity Castle."
Sumi, Naho, Kiyo: "Will you visit us again!?"
Shenju did a rare chuckle and crouched down to the little girls heights and patted their heads individually.
Shenju: "Of course."
He stood back up and disappeared from everyone's view.
_______
At the Infinity Castle
Shenju layed on his new bed that's been replaced as he lifts his phone up from his pocket.
He sees a notification and clicks on it and saw the hashira's.
