โKyojuro-san!โ
Rengoku startled from where he had been staring out into space.
He sat on the engawa, slouched forward comfortably while his feet rested on the steps leading down. Technically, he was in the way, but that day, it was only Tanjiro and Rengoku at the residence. It would be just the two of them for a few days.
โWhat are you doing out here all alone? Didnโt you hear me calling for you?โ
โNo,โ Rengoku answered, craning his neck follow Tanjiro as he moved around him and peered out at forested area. He studied their surroundings as though he could spot the reason Rengoku might want to sit outside. When he looked back at Rengoku, his expression softened, a smile rising onto his face.
โYou were calling for me?โ Rengoku asked. He cleared his throat and looked past Tanjiro, oddly embarrassed, like heโd been caught. โIโm sorry I didnโt hear you! Itโs so peaceful over here, I just couldnโt help myself!โ
His voice rang loud in the quiet. Tanjiro chuckled and put his hands on his hips, still smiling that same fond smile.
