☾︎ TANJIRO'S POV ☽︎
'I can't do this at all!..'
i thought while panting heavily due to fatigue,
'When i try to do full focus breaths for a long time it feels like i'll die- It's too painful- my lungs hurt, my ears hurt, my eardrums are thumping...' i thought once again, holding onto the engawa for support. I felt a sudden panic making me stand up and cover my ears before looking at both of my hands to check,
'OH MY GOOOOOOOOD!.. for a moment there, i thought my heart was coming out of my ear!...'
'I can't do this at all!.. not in my state!..'
i closed both of my shaky hands with a determined face,
"You coward!!" i told myself completely not noticing the three children watching me in the corner 'when in trouble go back to the basics!!' i thought to myself again.
M
y whole body hurts and i feel like i could pass out any moment but ignored it,
'The breaths are in the lungs, not being able to do it properly means my lungs are weak..Gotta wake up in the morning, run in the building and hold my breath for training!..
Get on with it!! i can only keep trying hard because before, i just kept training, working hard day after day. A little bit at a time is fine, just press forward!!' i inhaled deeply and closed my eyes before opening them again after exhaling.
"Yeah!" i screeched in determination.
☾︎ NORMAL POV ☽︎
"Tanjiro-san's been trying hard everyday."
"yeah!"
We should bring him some rice balls!"
"sure!"
"and the gourds too"
"maybe we should call (L/N)-san! i think she's free today.. and besides she's very nice! Maybe she could help him!"
"Yeah!"
"Good idea Naho!"
The three children planned before heading towards the inside of the estate to make some rice balls in the kitchen.

"Hello girls! So what is it that you want?"
You asked the three very confused on why they called you. You scanned the children before realizing that they need you to go to Tanjiro, your best guess is that you need to help him with that Concentration Breathing thingy.
"No time! You'll find out when we get there" Sumi told you, You felt Naho and Kiyo hold both of your hands to drag you towards the backyard.
'Yep, Definitely.'
It didn't take long before reaching the backyard. And to be honest, Tanjiro looks like a living rat that's slowly getting ripped in half by a random cat. You worriedly rushed to the teenager and carried him to sit on the engawa
Which took him by surprise, You fixed his hair cause it literally looked worst than your hair in mental breakdowns, you then asked Naho to give you some water, she quickly gave you the water and you handed it out to Tanjiro.
"Tanjiro you fucking dumbass why did not bring any water with you? God, it's like you forgot you still need your everyday needs when your training.." you scolded the burgundy haired boy.
"I'm sorry (Y/N)-san.. it won't happen again.." he apologized tiredly. You sighed and patted his head. "It's fine just remember to bring food and water when you're planning to train. Now! let's have a break okay?" You smiled reassuringly at Tanjiro, he was too tired to make a reaction but you can see a faint pink hue tinting his cheeks.
The three in the background can't help but gush at the moment right in front of them, wiggling with flustered faces. It almost reminds the author of that one scene in ATLA when Aang told a whole village he was the Avatar.

"Blow into the gourds?" Tanjiro asked feverishly, "Yes Tanjiro! Hashiras would blow into the gourds! It would help a lot with that breathing thingy! They would also teach their Tsugukos too!" You said heartily,
"That's one interesting way to practice, Does it make a sound or something?" Tanjiro asked with dotted eyes, "No they blow into the gourds to destroy it" Kiyo said bluntly.
"Oooooooh" He replied with his usual cheery expression before immediately switching to a petrified one. '...Destroy?..'
"This? Destroy this? This hard thing?"
(Yall reader better stfu i already what u gon say) The teenager questioned in utter denial.
"Yeah, Since these are specially crafted gourds it's harder than the usual ones"
You told him as if it's not a big deal.
'HOW AM I SUPPOSE TO DESTROY THAT- I ALREADY FEEL LIKE MY LUNGS ARE ABOUT TO EXPLODE WITHOUT USING THOSE-' He gawked, feeling awfully surprised he has to destroy it.
"It seems like they slowly increase the size of the gourds.." Kiyo once again spoke while you carried a very heavy gourd with one hand with an unbothered but cheery face,
"Kanao absolutely OBLITERATED this one!" you added, Tanjiro choked on his spit, you can almost see his skin slowly turning white making you stifle a laugh.
'S-so big!'

You sat with Ayume in your office who was helping you with your paperwork. You leaned your head on your submissive hand as you lazily wrote illegible sentences on the papers, the girl beside you can't help but chuckle and continue to write through sheet after sheet with neat handwriting.
"Uhhh Ayume how do you write the first letter in hiragana again?" you questioned the girl nonchalantly. "Like this (Y/N)-san.." Your assistant sat next to you and wrote the letter you struggled to remember. "Oh thanks Ayume" the (H/C)-ette thanked the other who only nodded, "(Y/N)-chan you should really fix your handwriting, hehehe.. i believe Oyakata-sama would struggle reading these things." Ayume laughed at the sight in front of her that are supposedly words. "I tried Ayume!.. besides i'm a foreigner with a messy handwriting no matter what language it is!" You grumbled, gulping the urge to cry due to the pain that's starting to worsen in your wrists. She laughed and nodded.
the rest of the night was filled with small talks and laughs.

~ TAISHO SECRETS ~
× After years of Demon Slaying, (Y/N)'s social skills and confidence improve to the point where she could finally participate in casual conversations without feeling her life will end. Although she's still bad with kids.
× When Tanjiro came back to their bedroom he was attacked by Zenitsu who was crying blood and started getting labeled as a traitor.
× You now have a drawer that is filled with cute little drawings that was made by Mitsuri.
× Sanemi makes you both some onigiris on a daily basis.
