Rimuro and Ciel were both sitting while the Hashira, Kamaboko Squad, and remnants of the Ubuyashiki faced them all with inquisitive faces
Rimuro: (It looks like we're in a bit of a corner)
Ciel: (I'll take the fall you'll have nothing to do with it)
Rimuro: (No out of the question)
Ciel: (But it's my fault I could've killed him without using our power but I panicked and now-)
Rimuro: (Ciel why is that so wrong if you did it means you care for them you were worried because you love them don't you)
Ciel: (. . .)
Rimuro: (Ciel it's fine it's like I told you you're human now you're allowed to love them)
Ciel was on the verge of tears
Rimuro: (Let's just tell them)
Ciel: (How much)
Rimuro: (Everything this journey is over let's not let it end on lies they're our friends it's best we be honest with them)
Ciel's eyes widened
Ciel: (But Master won't that include-)
Rimuro: (Yes)
Ciel: (But then there's the possibility that Tanjiro and Nezuko will-)
Rimuro: (I know)
Ciel: (But Master-)
Rimuro: (I started this all you only followed me it wouldn't be right if I were to push it on you)
Ciel: (Isn't it your greatest fear if they-)
Rimuro: (Yes . . . but I'd rather face that than see you hurt anymore)
Ciel: (But Master-)
Rimuro: (You're smart I know you could somehow find a way to talk me out of this that's why this is an order)
Ciel clenched her fist in frustration
Ciel: (. . . Understood Master)
With that Rimuro told them everything saying everyone was shocked would be an understatement
Shinobu: I always suspected you 2 were hiding something but this much I'm having a hard time understanding it
Kanae: So to put it simply you 2 are reality-warping gods that felt bad about our plight so you inserted yourselves in our lives to lessen our burden
Ciel: Well yes it is like that but far more complicated
Kiriya: How much has changed since the both of you came to this world
Ciel: . . . The most relative loss was of the Hashira
Rimuro: Of the 9 of you only 2 survived and some didn't even make it to the fight against Muzan
Zenitsu: Wait so what was the future without you guys
Rimuro: We can show you if you wish but it's not a happy sight
Obanai: If nothing else we deserve to know
Ciel: I suppose that's fair
Rimuro and Ciel made several projections to everyone there about how their lives specifically would've gone in the story we know all within the timespan of a second tears were left in some of their eyes
Rimuro: I'm sorry I know it wasn't our place to intrude on your lives
He then reserved his glance to Tanjiro and Nezuko they both hadn't said anything since he started speaking
Rimuro: Words can't say how sorry I am for all the pain I caused you both but I want to let you know these 18 years we spent together as a family I wouldn't trade them for anything
Rimuro took a very low bow for both of them
Rimuro: I understand you both must hate me . . . if there's anything I could do to atone please let me know
Tanjiro: . . .
Nezuko: . . .
They both walked towards him
Tanjiro: Raise your head
Rimuro did as asked to be shocked as he was embraced by both of them
Tanjiro: We could never hate you
Nezuko: It was thanks to you I was able to help more people experience this journey alongside my family
Tanjiro: You helped us save so many more lives we have no reason to hate you
Nezuko: You always couldn't help but put everything on yourself so know that isn't necessary anymore
Tanjiro: This changes nothing you're still our brother and we love you
Nezuko: So stop blaming yourself you're not to blame
A tear fell down Rimuro's eye as he began to embrace them in return
Rimuro: You two are just too kind you know that
Shinobu: So you really couldn't live without us
Ciel: I'm not like Master I wasn't born human the same way he was I was created by his will and then made it my mission to serve him but the time I've spent with you all has helped me grow as one and it's worth just as much to me as the time I spend with him you should feel proud you helped this Manas feel
Kanae: Well nice to know I wasn't completely useless to you
Kanao hugged Ciel
Kanao: Thank you for being our family I love you, Lady Ciel
Ciel hugged her back
Ciel: I love you all as well I'm ashamed I was ever hesitant to admit it
Kanae and Shinobu hugged her as well
Shinobu: I wonder how we'll be able to explain this to everyone else at the mansion
Zenitsu: Hey not to interrupt but what do you guys intend to do now that it's all over
Rimuro: That thought has crossed my mind often
Ciel: I suppose that we should return soon I admit I'm not comfortable with the state we left it in
Rimuro: We should probably return soon
Sanemi: So you two got to leave huh
Rimuro: Well we are responsible for that world and others not just this one now that the demons are no longer a threat we can't stay from our world any longer I don't even want to know what's happened now that we've been gone this long we'll have to leave tomorrow
Tanjiro: I see I suppose it makes sense that someone like you would have responsibilities
Rimuro: Yeah
Nezuko: Rimuro . . . please . . . can we go with you
Muichiro and Zenitsu: (WHAT NO!?)
Rimuro: Sure
Muichiro and Zenitsu: (HE ANSWERED THAT SO FAST)
Tanjiro: It's really alright
Rimuro: One of the benefits of being someone like me is you make the rules it's fine
Kanao looked up at Ciel as she was hugging her
Kanao: Lady Ciel can we also go with you . . . I don't want to leave you
Ciel looked at Rimuro he simply smiled and nodded
Rimuro: (You shouldn't have to ask)
Ciel smiled back and looked at her siblings
Ciel: I have my duties and I'll have to go I don't wish to drag any of you along with me if you don't wish to
Shinobu: Just shut up already of course we want to go with you
Ciel seemed slightly surprised
Shinobu: Did you honestly think you could get rid of us that easily
Kanae: You've become our family Ciel whether you like it or not
Ciel smiled
Ciel: 18 years ago I dreaded to think of such things but I'm glad now more than ever I can accept this with grace I love you all so much
Kanae and Shinobu joined the hug as well
Rimuro: (I wonder how everyone will think once they hear the cold beauty that seemed to care for nothing but her Master turned out like this)
Ciel: (I don't care anymore they can say what they want)
Rimuro: (I'm glad to hear that)
Kiriya: The Demon Slayers owe you and the Hashira a great debt thanks to your efforts Muzan was finally defeated with almost no casualties even when Rimuro was turned into a demon they stayed few thus the Demon Slayers are disbanded as of today
Kanata: You fought and devoted yourselves to the people of the world
Kuina: You risked your lives for the longest time
Kiriya, Kanata, and Kuina all bowed their heads to the present Demon Slayers
Kiriya: We the Ubuyashiki Family thank you from the bottom of our heart
All the Hashira tried to discourage this
Giyuu: PLEASE RAISE YOUR HEADS
Sanemi: WE DON'T NEED YOUR GRADITUDE
Mitsuri: WE WERE ONLY ABLE TO SUCCED BECAUSE YOU HELPED KEEP US TOGETHER
Gyomei: Lord Kiriya you did an magnificent job as well so I believe that all your ancestors in the Ubuyashiki Family including your Father would be very proud of you
Rimuro: In my life I've meet countless leaders of all kinds and your family was still one of the better ones I've meet, you included, Stand proud Kiriya you're a strong leader
The meeting was adjourned with the new information they gained of the lives they would've lived the Hashira left feeling even more content and grateful Sanemi was stopped by Rimuro
Sanemi: What is it
Rimuro: Are you really gonna leave things as they are
Sanemi: What are you talking about
Rimuro nudged his head to Kanae as she was talking with Ciel
Sanemi: . . . The most annoying thing about you by far is how right you can be
Rimuro: I mean Giyuu already confessed though Shinobu was pissed it took him this long she said yes Obanai and Mitsuri are close as well
Sanemi: ALRIGHT FINE
Sanemi began walking towards them but he stopped in his tracks Rimuro looked at his face he was red as a tomato
Rimuro: Alright fine I'll give you a little nudge
Sanemi: Wha-
Rimuro picked up Sanemi by the collar and tossed him towards Kanae and Ciel
Rimuro: YEET
Sanemi flew through the air and ended up landing flat on his face
Sanemi: RIMURO YOU BASTARD
Sanemi turned back to see Rimuro was gone
Sanemi: (I DON'T GIVE A FUCK IF HE'S A GOD I'LL KILL HIM FOR THIS)
Ciel smirked
Ciel: I'll catch you later Big Sister I need to find Master and tell him our plans to bring everyone in the Mansion I think Sanemi needs to tell you something
Ciel walked of and whispered in Sanemi's ear
Ciel: You'll thank us later
Kanae: What is it Sanemi
Sanemi was as red as an apple
Sanemi: There's something I need to tell you
Rimuro was standing on top of the roof of his Mansion looking at the sunset
Ciel: So this is where you went
Rimuro: This place has a lot of memories today will be the last time I see it in person
Ciel: It seems the lives of Rimuro Tsugikuni and Ciel Kocho end here they'll return to Rimuru Tempest and Ciel tomorrow
Ciel said as she sat down beside Rimuro
Rimuro: Even if my name changes back I think I'll keep this body for a while
Ciel: Really
Ciel said wit a suggestive smirk
Rimuro: Yeah I've been looking forward to the day where I could make use of it back home
Ciel: Orgies?
Rimuro: Orgies
Ciel: Sounds like fun
Rimuro chuckled at the lack of jealousy Ciel seemed to have
Rimuro: Looks like being human really has changed you
They spent a moment in silence until Ciel leaned on Rimuro's shoulder
Ciel: You know first time I saw this sight I had a harder time appreciating it I'm glad I can see it the way I am now
Rimuro: What sight is that
Ciel smiled as she looked at the view
Ciel: The look of a peaceful world that we saved
Rimuro: Ciel
Ciel: Yes, Master
Rimuro: I love you
Ciel blushed not expecting to hear it
Ciel: I love you too Master
Rimuro: This journey has been a good one but I'm glad it's over we can rest now
Ciel: Yeah
Rimuro: . . . And it's all thanks to Veldora, Milim, and Ramiris
Ciel: . . . yeah
They both said in a tone of slight realization
Rimuro: I'm definitly kicking their asses when we get back
Ciel: Yeah
They both expressed in a deadpan tone they sighed in exasperation yet they were still happy that their journey was finally over
FINALLY DONE WITH THIS FUCKING-ASS LONG-ASS STORY I HAD TO WRITE
Rimuro: You have no one to blame but yourself
What like I could just drop it where it was when people kept reading and wanting more for some reason
Rimuro: So guess you're gonna do another poll for what to do next
. . . No I've already decided
Rimuro: What really
Yeah it's a thought and idea that's been living in my head for a while and I think it's appropriate to do something like this and I think I owe it to you
Rimuro looked shocked yet excited
Rimuro: W-wait you don't seriously mean

Rimuro: FINALLY I NEEDED THIS
Don't expect me to be too predictable and I'll be doing something else to make it more interesting
Rimuro: What are you planning

Rimuro: You know what for once I guess I'll trust you on this

A figure in a brown hood chuckled
