"Moshi-moshi, do you hear me?" veins started popping in Shinobu's head in annoyance at being ignored.
Shinobu Kocho was a petite young woman with a slender and short body and rather pale skin. She had large eyes that had no pupils, only a slight shade of purple, making her eyes look similar to those of an insect.
Shinobu has very short wavy jet black hair that fades to dark purple at the ends, styled at the back of her head into a flat yakai-maki bun, tied with a white butterfly ornament.
Shinobu has thick curtain bangs parted in the middle, along the ears, that flow down to frame the sides of her face, with two slightly thinner strands of hair along the chin.
Shinobu wore the standard dark purple Demon Slayer uniform, consisting of a buttoned jacket with gold buttons, a stand-up collar, and long sleeves, matching the dark purple color of the tabi socks and loose tattsuke hakama trousers.
Over her uniform, Shinobu wore a white haori that had previously belonged to her older sister, which had a pattern of butterfly wings, specifically Monarch butterflies.
"Ah, I too am the sound Hashira. The most beautiful and handsome Hashira!" said Tengen confidently.
Tengen was a very tall, broad-shouldered man, with slightly tanned skin and white hair. His hair was unequal in length, the longest strands reaching his shoulders, and styled with three clumps of shorter hair.
Tengen has fairly thin maroon eyes that appear to slant inward, each with a single long lash.
Tengen wears a sleeveless version of the standard black Demon Slayer uniform, dark turquoise in the anime, along with burgundy cloth around his calves with tattsuke-hakama pants tucked in, and white laced Zōri.
On his arms, Tengen wears two rings of thick gold. Tengen also wore a pair of fingerless blue gloves, fastened on the middle finger with a white band and the wrist with a set of thinner gold rings.
"Ano... My name is Mitsuri Kanroji, Hashira of Love." Mitsuri said that nervously.
Mitsuri was a young woman of average height and pale skin. She had large, round pale green eyes with long eyelashes and a small mole under each eye.
Mitsuri's fairly long hair is a light pink color that fades to a lime green color in the middle, which she braids in three thick braids.
Mitsuri wore a standard demon exterminator uniform. But it was more open in the chest area, revealing the marvelous shape of the fruit of paradise. Over the demon-slaying uniform, Mitsuri wore a white haori.
"This boy's name is Muichiro Tokitou! Despite his young age, he is the Hashira of the mist!" Kyojuro said this with enthusiasm.
'What day is it?' the young boy said in his mind.
Unlike the other Hashira, this boy seemed to be daydreaming. His name is Muichiro Tokitou.
Muichiro was a fair-skinned young boy of short stature with a slender build, as well as long straight jet-black hair, fading to a cyan color as it approached his waist with the hair left loose, with two strands of hair protruding slightly from each side of his head,
Muichiro also was large, empty-looking cyan eyes. Muichiro wears a standard black Demon Slayer uniform, which is a button-down jacket with a stand-up collar. However, he wears longer, loose sleeves that are more reminiscent of a kimono than cuffed sleeves like the standard uniform shirt.
Instead of the standard tattsuke hakama wrapped by a pair of white kyahan around his calves, Muichiro wore a hakama in the umanori style, which was as long as his sleeve style, giving it a loose and oversized look to his outfit.
"My name is Obanai Iguro. Honestly, I'm very curious about your breathing style." Obanai said that with a serious look in his eyes.
'Kyaaa, Obanai looks cool!' said Kanroji with a beaming face in his mind when she saw Obanai.
The man on the tree branch was Obanai Iguro. Obanai was a short, pale-skinned young man with jet-black hair with straight edges reaching his shoulders.
Obanai's eyes are shaped like almonds and are uniquely colored because Obanai has heterochromia. His right eye is yellow and his left eye is blue-green. He is partially blind, barely seeing with his right eye.
Obanai wears a bandage over his mouth. He also wears the standard black Demon Slayer uniform, along with a black and white striped haori, whose hem and cuffs are striped lengthwise rather than vertically, that covers his hands.
Around Obanai's neck, a white snake is wrapped around his neck. The white snake was named Kaburamaru by Obanai.
"Before that, I would like to apologize for not meeting you right away because I had something to do." El bowed his back slightly.
Then, El straightened his back and looked at the Hashira, except for Muichiro who was looking at the sky dreamily.
"My name is El Ira Adrian, my breathing style looks like a dance. You can call me Hashira. I learned this breathing style from someone." El introduced himself.
Hearing El's words, the Hashiras smiled kindly. The Hashiras began to think El was not a bad person. Judging from El's apology, even though El didn't seem to have done anything wrong.
Then, El turned his eyes towards Giyu who was standing quite far away from the other Hashiras. "Who is that man? Why are you standing so far away?"
Looking at Giyu, El deliberately pretended not to recognize Giyu Tomioka with a curious expression. El learned from her experience when she was in the world of Reincarnation Room.
"Thankfully, I thought you had a problem with your voice." Shinobu said in a soft tone of voice.
A warm and friendly smile appeared on Shinobu's face. "To that guy over there, he's a traitor for protecting a demon."
Despite the warm smile, there was no warmth at all in her smile. The Hashiras there, except Muichiro shuddered in the cold at the insect Hashira's murderous aura.
In the back of his mind, Shinobu could not forget his frustration at Mount Natagumo. Giyu's attitude at that time was really very annoying to remember.
Giyu's way of restraining Shinobu by pinching her body was sexual harassment, and this really upset Shinobu until now.
With a smile, Shinobu turned her gaze to look at Giyu with her eyes closed. "To-mi-oka-san, if only you survive after this, please come to the Butterfly mansion. Just to check the body."
Giyu turned her gaze in another direction. Giyu's irises became even more lifeless after hearing that from Shinobu. Now, Giyu must pray for her survival to be longer.
Not only Giyu, apparently the other Hashira also prayed for Giyu to live a long life if he survived the punishment for protecting the demons and from the care of the caring Shinobi Kocho. Except for Obanai and Muichiro.
Obanai who was very disgusted with creatures like Giyu, the look in his eyes was like someone who was at a funeral.
While Muichiro, the boy was always daydreaming, hardly caring about the surroundings. In fact, he considered Giyu to be like a display at home.
"Do you want to fall asleep? Snap out of it! You're in the presence of the pillars!" The kakushi yelled at Tanjiro very loudly and slapped him on the cheek.
Upon waking up, Tanjiro was in a very unexpected situation. Tanjiro looked around and found himself surrounded by strangers. However, there was only one person that Tanjiro recognized and that person was El.
As for Giyu, since that person was standing too far away from the other Hashira, Tanjiro couldn't see him. Although, Tanjiro recognized Giyu, the person who had recommended him to Urokodaki Sakonji.
'Pillar? What is a pillar? Why is Uncle Adrian with these people!' Tanjiro's mind was full of question marks.
Tanjiro then looked at the pillars one by one with a very dumbfounded expression on his face. 'Who are these people?
Panicked and confused, Tanjiro immediately looked around him. Currently, Tanjiro had woken up in an unknown place. 'Where is this? Pillars? They're pillars? But what is a pillar? Why is Uncle Adrian with them?'
