"Sir, you must be a very powerful samurai-sama, right?"
Giyu Tomioka couldn't help but speak, his eyes full of admiration.
"A master samurai?"
Sam Miller was slightly taken aback, then shook his head. "I'm not a warrior."
"Even if you're not a warrior, you're still a very powerful person."
Giyu said seriously.
Sam smiled wryly. He wasn't human—he was a demon. Of course, he couldn't say that.
"Can I learn some skills from you?"
Giyu asked cautiously, a little expectantly.
Sam was a bit stunned. Learn skills from a demon?
What could he teach Giyu?
"Why do you want to learn from me?"
He couldn't help but feel some doubts, but he also sensed the determination in the young man's eyes.
"Because I can feel that you're very powerful. If I can become as powerful as you, I can protect myself and the people I care about."
Giyu said earnestly.
Do you want to become stronger to protect the ones you love?
He mused silently.
After waiting a while without receiving an answer from Sam, Giyu felt a bit disappointed, thinking he had been... rejected.
Then, he saw the golden eyes under the bamboo hat looking at him.
"I don't have the ability to teach you because my skills aren't suitable for you."
"I see."
Giyu nodded, disappointed.
"However, I can tell you where you can learn skills."
Sam suddenly laughed.
"Really?"
Giyu showed excitement.
"Mount Sagiri—there's an old man there who is very powerful, and he can teach you. You can learn what you want from him."
Sam said softly.
In his mind, the figure of that person appeared involuntarily.
The Water Pillar.
Sakonji Urokodaki.
In the future, he would teach Makomo, Sabito, Tanjiro Kamado, and other excellent demon slayers, and he was also Giyu's future teacher.
He was a very powerful person.
"Is that person better than you?"
Giyu couldn't help asking.
"Much better than I am now."
He laughed.
Hearing this, Giyu couldn't help but look forward to it and wanted to visit the old man immediately.
Sam smiled and patted Giyu's shoulder. "Alright, we'll see you later."
"Also, don't call me sir. Honestly, I'm not as old as you are."
His actions woke the girl who was sleeping soundly in his arms.
The girl opened her beautiful purple eyes.
"Awake?"
Sam lowered his head and looked at the girl tenderly.
"Sir, you've been carrying her all this way. You're truly gentle with your fiancée."
Giyu couldn't help but comment.
Kanao Tsuyuri's beautiful purple eyes flickered with surprise, and her little hands tugged at his sleeves, her petite body shifting in his arms.
"Do you want to come down, Kanao?"
Sam asked.
The girl nodded for the first time.
Sam was taken aback; it was the first time he saw Kanao express her wishes and nodded.
"Is your fiancée's name Kanao?"
Giyu couldn't help asking.
Sam smiled. "Yes, Kanao Tsuyuri."
"Kanao Tsuyuri."
Giyu repeated, then nodded. "It's a really nice name."
"Her parents certainly knew how to choose a name."
Giyu remarked.
"No, I gave her that name."
Sam shook his head.
"Miss Kanao, it's quite romantic that your fiancé gave you your name."
Giyu laughed.
Kanao didn't speak, but her little hand gripped Sam's sleeve even tighter.
"Sorry, she doesn't like talking to strangers very much."
Sam apologized.
"It's okay. I can see that Mr. Sam is very much a protector in Miss Kanao's eyes."
Giyu didn't mind that Kanao didn't respond.
"In the future, I will also be the protector of my sister, Tsutako Tomioka."
Giyu looked at the sky, clenched his fists, and yearned for the future.
