Just thought this edit was fire so I posted it here since I couldn't think of anything else hope you like it
Another morning arrived in the Swordsmith Village Rimuro just woke up he saw everyone else in the middle of breakfast
Rimuro: Oh hey guys good morning
Nezuko: It's not like you to sleep in so much brother
Rimuro: Well I actually had a pretty nice rest I guess those hot springs work wonders (no nightmares tonight they really do have great healing power)
Tanjiro: Do you have any plans for today brother
Zenitsu: (Not more training I hope)
Rimuro: Well today I thought we could take a break from training I'm curious about that weapon Mitsuri spoke of and I heard Muichiro is in the village as well and I wanted to talk to him
Tanjiro: Muichiro wasn't that the name of the Mist Hashira
Rimuro: Yep and he's actually our cousin
Tanjiro: What
Nezuko: Really
Rimuro: At one of the meetings I think I heard his crow mention that he was a descendent of Sun Breathing users Shinobu also found a relation in our blood when treating us
Tanjiro: Is that so then I can't wait to meet him
Rimuro: Well a little warning about him he can be a bit . . . inconsiderate he doesn't mean anything by it though
Nezuko: Have you talked with him much
Rimuro: Well I have been on a few missions with him and I do occasionally talk to him
Tanjiro: I'm sure we'll get along fine
Rimuro: Now before we go what's the one thing I always tell you guys
Zenitsu: DODGE
Rimuro: The other one thing
Inosuke: Dying is gay
Rimuro: The OTHER other one thing
Nezuko: If Ciel ever asks for you always tell her you're not here
Rimuro: The other OTHER other one thing
Tanjiro: Sharpen the weapon that is your mind
Rimuro: That's right Tanjiro I'm glad you at least got in right
Nezuko: In our defense, you say a lot of things
Rimuro: Fair enough
Rimuro and his Tsuguko left for the mountain to search for the weapon they split up into 2 groups Inosuke and Zenitsu searched in a different location from Rimuro Tanjiro and Nezuko
Rimuro: You picking up anything Tanjiro anything that smells like a weapon
Tanjiro: Nothing but in hindsight my sense of smell may be off the hot spring really reeks
Rimuro: Ah makes sense hot springs are known to have strong smells
???: ASK ALL YOU WANT I'M NOT GIVING IT TO YOU
???: I don't have time to argue with you I came here for it and I'm not leaving without it
Rimuro: It's Muichiro and a kid
Tanjiro: That is him I remember him from the meeting just how many Hashira are hear
Rimuro: Counting me 3 that I know of
Nezuko: It seems they're arguing about something
Muichiro gave out his hand
Muichiro: Give me the key
Kotetsu: In your dreams, my ancestor made this and it's precious to me
Nezuko: Hold on is someone else behind him
The three of them looked and saw someone with hair and earrings similar to Tanjiro
Tanjiro: Wait-
Nezuko: That looks just like-
Rimuro: -Grandfather Yoriichi
Kotetsu: Get out of here you can't make me give you the key and even if you did I won't show you how to use it
Tanjiro: What should we do it's rude to eavesdrop but if they are fighting we should try to help shouldn't we
Muichiro chopped Kotetsu on the neck causing him to fall to the ground he then picked him up by the shirt
Tanjiro: STOP IT
Tanjiro ran out of the bushes in hopes of stopping the fight Rimuro and Nezuko soon followed
Tanjiro: What are you doing let him go
Muichiro: There's no need to be so noisy who are you . . . wait I've seen you before haven't I
Tanjiro: How could you treat a kid like that you shouldn't do such cruel things
Tanjiro was holding Muichiro's arm and forced Muichiro to let go
Muichiro: Hmm you're stronger than I thought I'm surprised you're not a Hashira yet
Rimuro: Muichiro what is going on here
Muichiro: Oh Rimuro it's you
Nezuko was checking on Kotetsu
Nezuko: Are you alright
Kotetsu looked up at Nezuko and became quite flustered
Kotetsu: I-I'm fine
Nezuko: Are you sure you could be dizzy
Kotetsu G-get off me I'm not giving the key to anyone even if you torture me if I do you'll only break it
Rimuro: Alright let's just calm down about this talk of torture what's going on
Muichiro: I wanted the key to activate that doll it seemed like it would be a good use for training this boy has been wasting the time of a Hashira
Rimuro: Muichiro it doesn't matter who we are what you were doing was rude just because we're Hashira doesn't give us the authority to do what we want in any situation despite our higher ranking in fact it gives less reason because as Hashira we need to set an example and show respect to others the Master would be disappointed if he saw you acting this way
Muichiro's eyes slightly widened at this
Muichiro: I see
Rimuro: Look if all you wanted was training we can spar if you want I'm sure I'll be more of a challenge than that doll anyways
Muichiro: Well I suppose you have a point sparring with you may prove to be more useful
Rimuro: Why don't you guys give us some room and move that doll while you're at it
Tanjiro Nezuko and Kotetsu backed away while carrying the doll with them while Rimuro and Muichiro got into fighting positions while drawing their swords
Meanwhile
Zenitsu: Ugh I'm glad we got the day off but I was hoping to spend time with Nezuko not be searching for something that Sensei doesn't even know exists
Inosuke: STOP COMPLAINING IT'S GETTING ANNOYING
Zenitsu: Wait I hear some fighting over there
Inosuke: Really then let's go
Inosuke ran where Zenitsu was looking
Zenitsu: WAIT, HOLD ON DON'T JUST LEAVE ME HERE BY MYSELF
Zenitsu was behind Inosuke trying to catch up with him until he reached out of sight
Zenitsu: Damn it why are the trees so thick here
By the time Zenitsu reached where they were a broken part of a sword flew right by his head just missing his face but a cut could be seen on his cheek
Zenitsu: AAAAAAAH WHERE DID THAT SWORD COME FROM
Rimuro: Oh hey Zenitsu hey Inosuke sorry I should've deflected the sword up
Zenitsu saw Rimuro standing over Muichiro with his sword in his face as he was standing above the young Hashira
Muichiro: Huh I suppose you won and so quickly
Rimuro: Yeah guess so
Rimuro reached out his hand to Muichiro he took it as he got up
Rimuro: Sorry I broke your sword
Muichiro: It was worn out already so I suppose it's not your fault regardless this was good training for me it allowed me to see how I should improve as a swordsman I thank you
Rimuro: Sure no problem
Muichiro walked over to the doll and took a sword from the doll
Muichiro: This should do for the time being
Muichiro tossed his sword to Tanjiro he swiftly caught it with one hand
Muichiro: There now dispose of it
Muichiro then left
Tanjiro: Not even a whiff of malice he must not be doing it on purpose
Rimuro: Don't let it bother you
Tanjiro: That being said his crow reeks with animosity she's so condescending what gives
Hamamoto flew down to Rimuro's shoulder as did Ginko on Muichiro's they shared a glare of pure hatred
Hamamoto: Ginko
Ginko: Hamamoto
They spoke in the lowest tones they could to each other with those words the animosity was so thick between them
Rimuro: Oh that's right I almost forgot HEY MUICHIRO WAIT UP FOR A SECOND
Muichiro turned around to look at Rimuro as he whispered in his ear
Rimuro: Simmered Radish dressed with Sweet Miso
Muchiro's eyes widened
Muichiro: That sounds delicious when might we have some
Rimuro: It'll take a while to make so you should wait about a week I'll see if anyone wants any as well I'll also be cooking for Mitsuri as well
Muichiro: I see I can't wait
They looked at each other with serious expressions and nodded at each other
Muichiro: If that's all I'll be going now
Muichiro left with Ginko shooting a glare at Hamamoto and Hamamoto blew a raspberry in response
Tanjiro: You're crows really don't get along do they
Rimuro: We're just lucky they didn't get into another long-winded argument I don't let it bother me though but anyways this doll really interests me
Tanjiro: I know what you mean it seems so familiar
Nezuko: I'm getting that feeling too
Zenitsu: IT LOOKS SO CREEPY
Kotetsu: It was modeled after a powerful swordsman of the past
Rimuro: . . . WAIT LOOK AT IT'S EARRINGS
Tanjiro: YOU'RE RIGHT THERE THE SAME STYLE AS MINE MEANING-
Nezuko: IT MUST BE BASED ON GRANDFATHER YORIICHI
Rimuro: Well that explains the 6 arms then must be to copy his style still that's nowhere near enough
Kotetsu: Wait if the guy that this one was modeled after is related to you then maybe if I watch you guys fight it could help me find out how to replicate the technology
Rimuro: And we get decent training out of it win-win Tanjiro you try it first
Inosuke: I WANNA GO NEXT THIS THING SEEMS STRONG ANYTHING TO TEST MY STRENGTH
Kotetsu: Go ahead you showed that indifferent jerk who's boss you have my full permission to use it
Nezuko: That's very nice of you Kotetsu
Kotetsu: D-don't mention it it's my pleasure
Tanjiro took a stance Kotetsu turned on the doll it also took a stance
Kotetsu: Go on give it a try
When Kotetsu backed away the doll charged at Tanjiro 5 swift clangs could be heard as Tanjiro repelled all the swords of the doll and had his sword facing up against its neck
Rimuro: As I thought seems like it can't really help us train but I think it could help you two
Rimuro pointed at Inosuke and Zenitsu
Zenitsu: WHAT BUT THAT DOLL IS SO CREEPY PLEASE DON'T MAKE ME FIGHT THAT THING
Rimuro: Well I suppose if you would prefer sparring with me in your training it would only be cruel to deny you
Zenitsu looked up at Rimuro as he had a sadistic grin
Zenitsu: . . . Fire up the doll
Rimuro: Good this should give us some decent training while we wait on our swords the good news is that since swords for the higher ranked are a priority ours should be done soon if we can't find Haganezuka though I would prefer he works on them
Kotetsu: Gee I wonder where he could be
Kotetsu said skeptically
Rimuro: Well you guys stay here Tanjiro and Kotetsu can oversee your training and Nezuko can be on standby so you won't suffer any permanent injuries
Kotetsu: You can count on me
Tanjiro: I'll follow your teachings brother
Nezuko sighed exasperatedly
Nezuko: Looks like I'll have my work cut out for me
Zenitsu: So we did have to end up training after all what about the weapon
Rimuro: Eh we can look for it later training is more important now if you'll excuse me
Inosuke: Hey where are you going
Rimuro: . . . For a nice enthusiastic walk in the woods, I'll be back soon and I hope that by then you guys should be able to land at least one hit on the doll otherwise it's tougher training for whoever can't
Zenitsu and Inosuke tensed up at those words as Rimuro left with Hamamoto on his shoulder
Zenitsu: What could he possibly be doing he never misses training with us
Tanjiro I don't know but whatever it is it must be important
Nezuko: Perhaps he's going to meet Mitsuri I saw she was still in the village you think they made plans for a date when he spoke to her privately
Tanjiro: But Nezuko doesn't Miss Ciel like him too wouldn't that get complicated
Nezuko: Well the choice between them is obvious so with that she should leave him alone
Tanjiro: . . . You really aren't fond of Miss Ciel aren't you
Nezuko: Whatever do you mean Tanjiro
Tanjiro: N-nothing
Rimuro: All that wait and you only managed to make such a short chapter
Look I'm kinda on a vacation IRL so I haven't had much time to work on it and I thought it best to squeeze a short explanation of the Training Arc so they wouldn't be left high and dry
Rimuro: Excuses excuses the people are waiting on you y'know
Hmm you got a point maybe I should make a One-Shot where I trap you in a room with the darkest anime girls and force them to be infatuated with you
Rimuro: What
Yeah girls like Esdeath, Makima, Yuno Gassai, maybe throw in a couple of more Yanderes and watch the fireworks
Rimuro: . . . You're doing just fine
Why thank you now I can't be bothered to look for memes right now so just take this
Time for another Taisho Era Secret apparently Muichiro and Rimuro do want to become friends but whenever they're around each other for too long both of their crows get into arguments so obnoxious that there's always a noise complaint without fail sorry this chapter leaves much to be desired I'll make it up to you guys later but expect slower uploads Thanks for Reading
