Escanor, now the Sun Pillar, had intended to receive his Demon Slayer Corps uniform...
"I-I’m terribly sorry! We don’t have a uniform in the right size for the Sun Pillar... It may take some time, so would you mind waiting?"
"How dare you. You expect me to wait until clothes are made for me..."
"Yes! Please do!"
Kanae hurriedly stepped in to stop Escanor, who seemed to be ignoring her again, and the matter was fortunately smoothed over.
For reference, Gyutaro and Ume...
"Come with me... I’ll teach you properly what Breathing is..."
Sanemi, who had been knocked unconscious, got back on his feet with blood running down his head and took Gyutaro away.
"Ees! You’ll become a splendid Pillar, so wait for me!"
"Let’s go."
Ume was taken by Giyu to train under a master he knew well.
"..."
Left alone, Escanor decided to wait until his Corps uniform arrived, and about two weeks passed like that.
"...At last, it’s here..."
At long last, the Corps uniform arrived for Escanor, whose patience had sunk to rock bottom.
However...
Riiip...
"...This is uncomfortable."
"T-That can’t be..."
"Oh my..."
It still did not fit Escanor.
"The measurements should have been perfect... Don’t tell me you’ve gained muscle mass over the past two weeks?!"
He realized it only after the fact.
Bang!
"..."
In the end, every single button on Escanor’s uniform burst off, and at the same time the sleeves tore apart as well.
"Mm! Much more comfortable."
By contrast, Escanor wore the expression of a man who had been liberated.
"...It looks like you like it, so... that’s good!"
"...Yes..."
...
Three years passed.
As expected, the Demon Slayer Corps’ situation continued to improve.
"Look over there..."
"S-So beautiful..."
Many people found their eyes drawn to one place. A blue-eyed beauty with long white hair flowing behind her was walking by, a sash and a sword hanging at her waist.
"Haa... I’m tired~"
But the woman seemed quite exhausted, stretching and loosening her body as she walked.
"Hey, miss! You’ve got a killer figure. How about coming to have some fun with us?"
"Hey, hey. Don’t say it like that or you’ll scare her off. Hehe."
"...Huh?"
The woman shot a cold glare and a thick killing intent at the men who had approached her as if they were trying to pick her up. The men seemed to wilt under the pressure, backing away before finally turning and running.
"Hah! What kind of men are that cowardly? Honestly..."
With that, the woman continued on her way.
"Hey~ Ume."
A green-haired man with markings on his face called out to her.
"Ah! Big brother!"
The woman ran up and hugged him.
"Wow! It’s been so long!"
"What are you talking about...? We saw each other just the other day at the Hashira meeting...?"
The two of them exchanged news and went into a restaurant to eat.
"...Still, you really are amazing, big brother... To become a Pillar just two years after joining..."
"Heh heh... Don’t be ridiculous...? You’re the one who’ll be rising to Pillar soon enough..."
"But still~! It’s frustrating to lose to you!"
"Hey, hey... Sit still for a second... You spilled your water..."
The two of them traded remarks back and forth, savoring a rare moment of rest after a grueling mission.
Caw! Caw!
"...?"
At the cry of a crow, the two of them hurriedly paid for their meal and left the restaurant.
"Caw! Shabana Ume! Head to the eastern forest right now! The eastern forest!"
"Ah~ Fine! We finally got a break, too..."
The woman said that and quickly ran east.
"Big brother! Let’s meet up with Ees later!"
"Yeah... Be careful on your way."
As the man saw her off, another crow flew in.
"Caw... Blood Pillar... Shabana Gyutaro... Head to the western village... now..."
"Whoa... That’s the exact opposite direction... What a pain..."
Saying that, the man vanished to the west in an instant.
