Chapter 1 Summary

Go check the quotes and story parts posted if you want more information.

The chapter starts with a recap of Gyoumei’s life before he became a demon hunter, when he was living in the temple with the kids until the nightmare where they were attacked by a demon. Then fast forward to him saving young Kanae and Shinobu. When he arrived to save them, the Kochou parents were already dead with their blood mixing with the demon he beheaded. There he saw Kanae desperately holding Shinobu, both of them trembling and crying and when he saw (well not really cause he’s blind but you get the idea) them, they reminded him of Sayo (the only girl he was able to save in the temple).

Gyoumei then sent the 2 girls to their relatives with the help of the Kakushi and he didn’t even bother knowing their names because he believed he will not be seeing them again and also because he didn’t want to get involved with children anymore. Half a month passed and the Kochou sisters visited him to formally thank him for saving them. When talking to Gyoumei, he found the tone of Kanae’s voice to be soft and very pretty, Gyoumei imagined a single flower blooming in the snow.

They also told him that they were able to bury their parents because of his help and just kept on saying thank you - Gyoumei still hesitant to interact with children because of the Sayo incident tried to shoo them away by telling them that he is just doing his job. But before he could shoo them away, the sisters asked him to teach them how to hunt demons and there he felt a decisive difference in the tone of Kanae and Shinobu’s voices. There was a deep grief and sorrowful determination in Kanae’s while there was a burning anger and hatred in Shinobu (yes Tanjirou kun she has been angry for a very long time now). Ironically, he found Shinobu’s voice even more beautiful (ara ara intensifies). Gyoumei refused their request because he does not want to take away the future of the sisters and he walked away from them.

The sisters refuse to budge however and they stayed in his house. Gyoumei found Shinobu outside and he told her to go home but Shinobu answered him (legit this made me tear up) “everything is gone. I’ve thrown away what I have left. I don’t have anything anymore. For me it’s only my sister”. She was using Gyoumei’s axe but can’t swing it right so he took the axe from her hands and he noticed that her hands were sadly small - she was trying to chop firewood - he also noticed that Shinobu was much smaller than the kids her age. After successfully chopping the firewood, Shinobu asked Gyoumei how he was able to do that when he cannot see (she called him mister and Gyoumei told her that he is not yet old enough to be called mister hahaha). Shinobu also asked how he got that scar in his forehead and if it still hurts. Gyoumei refused to answer her questions and told her to go home before it goes dark but she was persistent and eventually, Gyoumei got annoyed and told the sisters that they cannot be demon hunters because they will not pass the final selection (ha! jokes on you Gyoumei they became pillars!).

He also told the sisters to just forget about the incident and move on, to just live a normal life but he was surprised when Shinobu answered him that she can’t and won’t live a happy pretend life after what happened to her parents. Gyoumei countered that it’s not what their parents would like the 2 girls to be doing. Shinobu then asked why Gyoumei became a demon hunter but he told her to go away and she ran away from him because of their argument. He tried to call her back but she ran to the opposite direction fast. Behind him, Kanae apologized on behalf of her sister and Gyoumei admited to her that Shinobu will not be a demon hunter because she is not strong enough and will not be able to decapitate a demon’s head off. After a while, Kanae answered Gyoumei “My father used to say, if there are people who are suffering from heavy loads, help them shoulder the burden. If there are people who are worried, think together, and if there are people who are sad, please comfort them.” :( The Kochou parents were wonderful people, they were kind, hardworking and honest and loved their daughters but the sisters were robbed of such parents. Kanae also added that she wants to save people….and demons.

Upon hearing this, Gyoumei became sad and asked her what she was saying because he cannot understand her wish of saving demons. Kanae answered that demons also used to be humans, that they are sad creatures. They eat people, even though they used to be human as well and is afraid of the sun. If you kill a demon, you can help the person who the demon will kill in the future (sounds familiar? this is similar to what Tanjirou said to Giyuu in Natagumo mountain). In a normal life, this kindness should be and will be praised. However, if you live as a demon hunter, this kind of kindness that has gone too far will someday destroy herself - Gyoumei noted and told Kanae that she should not be a demon hunter. She answered “I still want to protect the happiness of someone who hasn’t been destroyed. Just like what you did for me. Just like how you protected me. I want to protect the loved ones of someone and by doing so, I will stop the chain of sadness”, before she could finish her sentence Gyoumei asked “even at the cost of your lives?”

Kanae paused and said that she can throw her life but throwing her sister’s life away will be difficult for her. But they are ready… she said in a trembling voice. “I promised Shinobu.” Eventually, Shinobu came back and brought ingredients for dinner. They cooked dinner for Gyoumei and he commented that the miso soup is delicious. Kanae told him that Shinobu cooked the soup (wow Shinobu such waifu material!) during dinner, the sisters started to open up with him. While the sisters are busy bantering each other, Gyoumei felt nostalgic and emotional because it has been forever since he last had a meal like this. Night came and Shinobu started screaming because she’s having a nightmare about the demon that killed their parents.

On the 4th day of their stay in Gyoumei’s house (yes, they did not leave his house yet). Gyoumei decided to test them with the boulder training (the same one he gave during the pillar training arc) and told them that if they can move the boulder he will introduce them to a trainer. After that, he went away for a mission convinced that the girls will fail, give up and eventually leave.

When he came back however, the girls are still there and they were able to move the boulder. They used a lever to move the boulder (BRAINY!) So Gyoumei sent them to their respective trainers and after the training they passed the final selections and we all know what happened after.

Timeskip and we go to after the pillar meeting (before the pillar training arc). Shinobu told Gyoumei that she cannot participate in the pillar training because of her poison. Gyoumei noticed how Shinobu had changed after her sister’s death. So you couldn’t survive without doing so. Was it that painful? Was it that stressful? Gyoumei started to doubt himself. Was the decision he made back then the right one?

When she turned around, Gyoumei tried to call her “Shinobu.” He called her just like he did back when she was a small child. The presence of the Shinobu he knew appeared just for a moment as if there was a little girl about to cry in front of him. However, she immediately returned to her calm self as she looked back at him.

She asked him what it is but he cannot say what he wants to say so she just leaves. Gyoumei noticed at the end that he no longer can stop her from moving anymore.
