A year had passed since I was born. Now, I have a newborn sister, born just yesterday. She's undeniably cute, but let's keep things wholesome—no inappropriate thoughts about my sister, alright?
If anyone dares to entertain such degenerate thoughts, I'll bonk you with all the majesty of an almighty bonk straight to your mouth. Clear?
There are twelve years left before disaster strikes our family. Time feels limited, especially given my current tiny stature and limited abilities. I can only eat, sleep, and... well, you know.
My path to becoming stronger hinges on accumulating enough wealth, but with these tiny arms, I'm quite limited. What's more, I don't even know when my other siblings will be born.
Whether this world is an alternate universe or the original one, I hope it's the latter. If it's an AU, everything could change, and that spells trouble for me.
With the power of God and anime by my side, if this is an AU, I hope at least major events remain unchanged. Minor alterations, like the ages of my siblings and perhaps a few other details, are manageable. After all, I've already forgotten most of the Demon Slayer plot.
All I can do now is hope—for a brighter future for this family.

In the Kamado Household, Kei Kamado tended to both Tanjiro and newborn Nezuko with the care of a loving mother. Meanwhile, Tanjuro prepared to head out to the village.
Upon seeing his father getting ready to leave, Tanjiro, who could barely walk, stood upright and tugged at his father's kimono, indicating he wanted to join him.
"Looks like our little boy is growing up fast. It seems he wants to come with you, Tanjuro," Kei remarked with a gentle smile, despite her fatigue from giving birth the day before. She entrusted their newborn daughter to Miss Sakura's care.
Tanjuro nodded in agreement, kissing Kei's forehead before bidding her farewell. He gently wrapped Tanjiro in a white cloth and carried him on his back.
Tanjuro was a man of few words, but he had won the heart of a beauty like Kei, something truly extraordinary.
Even so, Kei loved Tanjuro for his kind heart and his role as a loving father to their children.
As Tanjiro rode on his father's back, he observed the scenery: lush green leaves, chirping birds, small animals darting out of bushes, and flying birds—scenes he had only seen on TV, impossible to replicate in modern society.
During their journey to the distant village, Tanjiro decided to check his status. Over the past years, only his intelligence and dexterity had shown growth.

Despite the overwhelming perks he received, he couldn't make use of them because he was still a toddler.
After a few hours, Tanjuro and little Tanjiro finally arrived at the village.
They were warmly welcomed by the villagers because Tanjuro always provided them with charcoal to keep warm at night. Whether it was money, food, cloth, or anything else that could be traded for his charcoal, Tanjuro gladly accepted.
The Kamado family had a long history spanning hundreds of years of selling charcoal, which earned them high regard among the villagers.
"Oh, if it isn't Tanjuro! How are you? Is this your baby?" A lively middle-aged man approached Tanjuro, glancing at the seemingly innocent toddler on his back.
"Yes, this is my first son, Tanjiro," Tanjuro calmly introduced, "I'm fine, just selling charcoal. I need to head home soon."
Looking at him, Tanjiro noticed that the middle-aged man seemed accustomed to his father's demeanor. He smiled back and resumed his work.
Tanjiro sighed, anticipating a clichéd argument, but his worries proved unfounded.
Tanjuro continued selling charcoal to the villagers until he ran out. Then, he lifted Tanjiro onto his back and headed to the market to buy souvenirs and ingredients.
A man of few words, Tanjuro only conversed with a handful of people, like the man from earlier and an old lady at the market. Despite his reserved nature, people didn't seem to mind.
After finishing their shopping, Tanjuro decided it was time to head home, as Kei was still waiting for them.
"Tanjiro, it's time to head back home. Just rest, and we'll be there soon," Tanjuro said, walking with a graceful stride, his breathing following a distinct pattern unlike that of ordinary people.
Tanjiro recognized this breathing technique—it was one that enhanced strength the longer it was practiced.
This technique had been passed down through generations along with the hinokami kagura, eventually becoming known as the Sun Breathing Technique. It was the original breathing technique pioneered by Tsukiguni Yorichi.
It had been a year since Tanjiro began trying to replicate his father's breathing technique without success. Being a toddler posed its challenges, hindering his ability to properly circulate his breath.
As he continued observing and attempting to mimic his father's technique, a sudden sensation surged through him, accompanied by a warm energy that coursed through every inch of his body.
His mind sharpened, and his vision cleared as if touched by an unseen force.
His mind getting clearer and his eyesight getting better.

Tanjiro was surprised by the sudden power-up but suppressed the urge to jump and run in excitement. He didn't want Tanjuro to suspect anything unusual.
Instead, he smiled broadly, envisioning a future where he could finally assist his parents in facing the impending challenges.
Observing his son's wide smile, Tanjuro smiled lightly and tousled Tanjiro's hair before they resumed their journey home.
