Cruelty:Part 1

*how did things turn out like this? because your big brother will definitely save you!*Tanjiro:Nezuko. Don't die. Please don't die. I'll definitely save you, so... don't go dying on me.

Kie: Tanjiro. you're face is black, come over here. it's okay if you don't go. because it's dangerous when the snow is falling,

Tanjiro:it's almost new year, and everyone wants to eat to their hearts content, I'll only go sell a little charcoal.

Kie:...thank you.

Shigeru: brother, you're going to the village today?

Hanako:I want to go too!

Takeo:ehhhhh?

Kie: You can't rest while he gives you a ride. because he can't pull the cart today,

Shigeru:but, mom!

Kie:no. you can't walk as fast as Tanjiro can.

Shigeru: no.

Hanako: but I wanna go!

Tanjiro:Takeo, because you can do it no problem, could you chop a few trees?

Takeo:I guess... I could. *sigh*I thought we'll all do it together.

Shigeru:please come back quickly.

Hanako:be careful!

Nezuko:brother

Tanjiro: Nezuko.

Nezuko:I just lulled Rokuda to sleep... because he'll start making an uproar... it's like everyone is stuck to you,brother.

Tanjiro:he's just lonely because dad died. Nezuko:take careful

*life isn't easy, but it is blessing. but concerning life is like looking at the sky it changes and moves, because there aren't times where it stays clear for a long time there also aren't times where it snows for a long times. thus, times where happiness is broken, there is always the scent of blood.*

Woman 1:well, if isn't tanjiro-chan? you really came down from the mountain on a day like this, good work. but you'll catch a cold.

Man 1:thank you for repairing my sliding door the other time.

Man 2:i also want charcoal.

Woman 2:oooooi, i want to buy some charcoal.

Man 3:ahhhhhh tanjiro! I'm glad you're here. please help me... please smell these. can you tell who is the culprit who broke these dishes?

*smells*

Tanjiro: it smells like a cat.

Man 3:See!?

Woman 3:really? a cat?

Man 3:it wasn't me, just like I said.

Man 4:Tanjiro, can you help me carry this luggage?

*it's getting late*

Saburouji:hey, Tanjiro? are you returning to the mountain? you can't, it's dangerous.

Tanjiro:my nose can smell anything, I'll be fine.

Saburouji: I'll let you stay the night. come. turn back

Tanjiro:but

Saburouji:enought of that, come here. the oni will appear. since long ago human eating oni have come out to prowl at days end. because of that, it's a problem to walk around at night. you'll be eaten, it's best of you sleep here and then wake up early tomorrow and return home.
