I had to republish sorry :P

"SABITO-SAN, BUT, HOW?"

"HAN-HAN HAORI, I NEED ADVICE ON MIDORI!"

"HER NAME'S AOI, NOT MIDORI YOU DUMBA-"

"Shh, guys!"

"THERE'S A CHILD THERE, TANJIRO, A CHILD!"

"DID HAN-HAN HAORI ACTUALLY HAVE A CHILD WITH THINHUHU?"

The said child covered his face with Giyuu's haori.

"Uuuuuu~I'm wearing such big clothes..."

"Warm..."

"But, where's Nee-San?"

"Uh..."

Sabito gave the small Giyuu a slight chop at the back of his head, making the small child go limp and fall.

"WHAT DID YOU DO, SABITO-SAN?"

"Jeez, calm down, I just made this small little baby boy sleep!"

Sabito carried the small Giyuu and dressing him up and ran off with the main three of Mama Goose Giyuu's little ducklings following him.

"To the Hashira Meeting!"

At the Meeting:

"Caw! Caw! Oyakata-Sama can't arrive today! Meeting delayed! Caw!"

"Tch."

"HASHIRAAAAAA!!!!!" a certain peach haired exclaimed, running into the Meeting.

Everyone noticed he was carrying a small lump, while Mama Goose Giyuu's three most annoying ducklings followed suit.

Makomo sighed.

"I don't have time for this..."

"GIYUU-SAN- SIDE EFFECT- CHILD- TWO WEEKS!"

"HAN-HAN HAORI- SPELL- CHILD!"

"GIYUU-SAN'S A CHILDDDDD!!!!!!!"

The Hashira didn't understand what poor Tanjiro and his friends were saying.

Sabito revealed a small Giyuu.

"KYAAAAAA!!! SHINOBU-CHAN, YOU ACTUALLY DID IT?"

"HAHAHA! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!"

"Flamboyant~"

"SHUT UP!"

"YOU'LL WAKE THE KID UP!"

"Uuuuuuu~"

"hOlY cOw iT'S a mInAtUrE tOmIoKa-"

"CAN YOU ALL JUST SHUT THE F-"

"Uun?"

"-F-F-FONDANT UP?"

"HAHA! SHINAZUGAWA'S SUBSTITUTE FOR F-"

"fOndAnT, uZuI-sAn~"

"Yessssss, fondant..."

"F O N D A N T"

"Tokito-San, please no..."

"HAHAHA! FONDANT!"

"Kyaaaa! Fondant is such a cute replacement!"

"Fondant...sounds yummy..."

"AH, MAKOMO, HE'S STILL AS CUTE AS LAST TIME!"

"MY HEART~"

"Uuuuu~?"

Sabito and Makomo explained the side effects of the 'whack-ass flower petal lady thingy' to the Hashira.

"Oh..."

"So who'll be the flamboyant flower children now?"

"I'll be! Pick me, Insect Pillar, me, me, me!"

"Me, me, me, me, meeee!!!

"SHUT UP, SOUND AND MIST PILLAR-"

"Uh, h-hi..."

The now young Giyuu waved awkwardly to the Hashira.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

"NEE-SANNNNN!!!!!"

"E-ehn? Me?"

"YES YOU! YOU CHANGED YOUR HAIR COLOR!"

"AND YOUR EYES ARE GREEN AS WELL!!!"

"AND YOUR CLOTHES..."

"...BUTTON UP!"

They couldn't believe that a small child, Giyuu Tomioka himself, told Mitsuri what they wanted to say for years.

'Button up.'

THOSE MAGIC WORDS.

WISDOM GIVEN BY A SEEMINGLY YOUNG CHILD.

Mitsuri remembered that Giyuu said that to her before.

Welp, kinda like wrote to her, but it's got a one-to-zero difference, to yeah, same thing.

She remembered.

Right after becoming a Pillar, she had received a letter from Giyuu.

"Caw! Caw! Letter from Water Pillar!"

"Kyaaaa! The handsome Giyuu Tomioka-San?"

"Did he fall for me?"

"My dreams and wishes might come true!"

She opened the letter in an excited but petite way.

"Hello, new Love Pillar..."

"KYAAAAAAAA!!!"

"It is very nice to know that there is yet another talented lady in the Hashira."

"It gives other women the drive to do better, and unleash their inner tigress."

"OMIGOSH HE CALLED ME A TALENTED LADY!"

"AND 'INNER TIGRESS'? HE'S SO RESPECTFUL!"

"However, I have seen many men looking at you in a very perverted way. Kindly button up. I do not want anything to happen to my fellow comrades, who are so talented and special."

"P-perverted way? Wh-what?"

"'Kindly button up', but the Kakushi said that it's fine!"

"Wait, he called me talented again! And special!"

"Kyaaaaaaaaaaa!!"

"You can ask Oyakata-Sama to fire that Kakushi, since I have. And I think that the Kocho sisters did too."

"Best of wishes, Giyuu Tomioka."

"Aw, it isn't a love letter!"

"But, wait, what?"

"P.S.- Somebody would like to meet up with you at restaurant (which serves a ton of food and sakura mochi in specific), so good luck."

"Kyaaaaaa! Tomioka-San is worried for me? And he set up a d-d-da-date or me and someone else?"

"This is the most best, most perfect, and most awesome day OF MY LIFE!"

Mitsuri remembered that it was the first of her many dates with her beloved Iguro.

"Nee-San? NEE-SAN!"

She looked at a small Giyuu waving at her.

"You blanked out!"

"Oh-oh, yeah..."

The tiny droplet's eyes lit up once again.

"ANIKI-TO-BE!"

The boy tackled Iguro to the ground.

"Ahh! I haven't seen you for one entire day!"

Iguro was baffled to say the least

"Your hair and eyes changed as well!"

"Ooh! And a cool snake comrade!"

Kaburamaru hissed happily while climbing onto Giyuu's shoulder.

"So, Sir Snake, what's your name?"

"hiss hiss"

"Kaburamaru-San? Nice to meet you!"

"I'm Giyuu Tomioka!"

"hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss"

"What do I think the name of aniki-to-be is? Welp, Nee-San told me to wait until the wedding to find out what his name actually is, which is a few years away!"

"hiss hiss hiss hiss"

"Silly Kaburamaru-San! You don't know the name of your to-be-Nee-San?"

"Well, I am one to be saying that, hahaha!"

"hiss hiss hiss"

"You don't? Her name is Tsutako Tomioka, of course! But her name will soon be the Tsutako along with no Tomioka, but instead aniki-to-be's last name! So I'll be the only Tomioka left!"

"hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss"

"No she didn't die, and isn't going to be dying anytime soon!"

The Hashira just stared on.

They all wanted to say, 'Um, so, about that...', but they didn't.

For the next half an hour, they all just stared at Giyuu talk with a snake.

Until Kaburamaru just hissed in surprise after Giyuu whispered.

"Giyuu, what do you mean by 'Michikatsu'?", asked Gyomei.

The name was only interesting to the Stone Pillar. the rest couldn't care less, it was just a name.

"Oh? It's just the name of a nice person who appears in my dreams!"

"What...?"

With that, my itchy and aching throat can finally be at peace.

Dear Giyuu, I feel like perishing.

Stay safe, people!

Byeeeeeeeeee!!
