"This is just too unfair! Totally unfair!" Tanjiro looked like a chibi character, sitting in the snow with his arms crossed and puffing out his cheeks.
"Don't be upset," Lexon said to Tanjiro with a smile.
"Brother, don't be angry, don't be angry." Nezuko gently patted her brother's head, soothing him softly.
"Nezuko is still the best to me." Tanjiro felt comforted by his sister and said happily.
"Hey, you're that guy I saw before who looked really strong! Fight me! This Great Lord is trained now, I definitely won't lose! If I beat you, I'll be the strongest!" Upon seeing Lexon, Inosuke Hashibiera immediately started gesturing and shouting at him.
"Idiot! He's the great Mist Hashira who killed the Demon King! How could you beat him?" Zenitsu Agatsuma said from beside Inosuke.
"It doesn't matter!" Inosuke, wearing his wild boar head, shouted back loudly.
"What do you mean it doesn't matter, you idiot!" Zenitsu grabbed Inosuke and shook him repeatedly, muttering things like 'He's incredibly strong' and 'What if he kills us because he's unhappy?' and 'Don't get us killed, you idiot!'
Lexon ignored the two rowdy youngsters and looked at Nezuko, asking, "How is your body recovering?"
According to Sakonji, with the joint research of Tamayo and Shinobu Kocho, Nezuko should be gradually turning back into a human.
"I'm recovering very well, Brother Lexon," Nezuko replied sweetly, looking every bit like a graceful young lady.
"That's good." Lexon patted Nezuko's head.
Nezuko obediently closed her eyes, quietly enjoying the touch of this big brother who had shown kindness to her and her brother long ago.
However, a certain yellow-haired youth was not very happy seeing this.
He was pulling at a handkerchief with both hands, biting the edge with his teeth, and staring this way with deep resentment.
"Lexon, where have you been lately? I've asked everywhere but couldn't find any news about you..." At this moment, Tanjiro stood up from the snow and asked.
'Why is everyone asking that?'
Lexon stopped patting Nezuko's head and replied, "I went to heaven."
"Huh?" Even Tanjiro, who trusted Lexon implicitly, was stunned by this answer.
"Just kidding," Lexon said.
"That's not a good joke to make, Brother Lexon," Nezuko said with a serious expression.
Lexon understood she was simply worried about him, so he smiled and replied, "Then I won't do it again."
"Lexon, have you had lunch yet? If not, eat here..." It was noon, so Tanjiro invited Lexon to join them.
"Sure," Lexon nodded.
"Wahoo! Food!" The Wild Boar King of the Mountain became excited the moment he heard it was time to eat.
At the table with steaming food.
Nezuko ate in small bites, while Inosuke shoveled food into his mouth.
Lexon and Tanjiro ate normally, while Zenitsu ate while bickering with Inosuke.
After eating, several of them sat at the table instead of immediately dispersing to do their own things.
Tanjiro and Nezuko had many, many things they wanted to say to Lexon.
Zenitsu wanted to keep an eye on Lexon, preventing his beloved Nezuko from being snatched away by this handsome man.
'If that really happened, I would probably cry myself to death...'
'After all, I can't win in a fight, and I can't win in looks either...'
As for the remaining Inosuke...
His goal was simple: he wanted to fight Lexon.
"So Kyojuro is now using his power to constantly help ordinary people..."
"Giyu is traveling around and seeing the sights..."
"Gyomei went back to being a monk at the temple after clearing up the old misunderstanding? That outcome is fine..."
"Obanai and Mitsuri are together? Congratulations to them, though his tendency to target me really isn't great... Well, I know he's the type who's cold on the outside but warm on the inside; actually, so am I."
"The Shinazugawa brothers opened a shop? A noodle shop? What's that about? To kill time? I see..."
"Uzui and his three wives... Ah... I don't really care what he's doing... No need to mention that, Tanjiro."
"Lady Tamayo and Yushiro went to open a clinic? That's also a good choice."
"Muichiro's personality has become more cheerful? His old memories are back? He became good friends with you? That's great."
In the conversation with Tanjiro, Lexon learned about the current situations of many people he knew in this world.
Although Lexon had also spoken with Sakonji, he had learned more about Tanjiro and Nezuko.
After all, Lexon would occasionally drop by Tanjiro's place.
"Miss Shinobu Kocho..." When it came to the last person, Tanjiro's voice suddenly stuttered.
He looked at Lexon a few times and continued, "During this time, she has sent hundreds of letters here, asking for news about you..."
Then, Tanjiro's face showed a conflicted expression. After hesitating for a long time, he finally asked, "Did you do something to Miss Shinobu Kocho, Lexon?"
"No," Lexon answered immediately.
