With that, Shinobu went inside to retrieve the new coat she had made for Kanao. To Shinobu, Kanao was not only her adopted younger sister but also like family. Therefore, in addition to making a winter coat for Ryuji, she hadn't forgotten Kanao's.
After Shinobu went inside, Ryuji looked at Kanao. He was used to her quiet, reserved nature. Although he had lived at the Butterfly Mansion for three months, he had barely interacted with her.
Besides eating and sleeping, she maintained her rigorous daily training and occasionally went on missions, always returning within three or four days.
Ryuji smiled at Kanao, who was silently watching him. Unexpectedly, she asked, "Are you and Shinobu-nee-san romantically involved?"
Surprised by Kanao's sudden question, Ryuji wasn't embarrassed. He simply nodded, replying, "Yes."
"Then what is being romantically involved? Why do people do it?" Kanao pressed further.
Ryuji found himself struggling to answer. Explaining such concepts to someone like Kanao, who lacked emotional experience, was proving difficult.
"It's about having someone to rely on," Ryuji offered, somewhat vaguely. "If you meet a boy you can't forget, then you should try to be with him."
Just as Ryuji finished, Shinobu returned with Kanao's new coat.
Shinobu draped the coat over Kanao. "Kanao, do you like it?"
Kanao examined the coat and nodded, "I like it."
However, Kanao's mind was preoccupied with Ryuji's words, which had unexpectedly reminded her of Tanjiro.
The memory of Tanjiro flipping the coin for her, a moment that had resonated deeply within her, resurfaced.
Tanjiro's absence from the Butterfly Mansion, coupled with Aoi Kanzaki's frequent mentions of him at Rengoku Manor, had created a strange feeling within her.
"I'm going out," Kanao declared, turning and leaving without hesitation, already wearing the new coat.
Shinobu, noticing Kanao's abrupt departure, looked at Ryuji with a questioning expression. "What's wrong with Kanao?"
Ryuji shook his head, indicating he didn't know.
Kanao, leaving the Butterfly Mansion, immediately set off towards Rengoku Manor.
Upon arriving at Rengoku Manor, however, Kanao was overcome with hesitation, unsure of her purpose in seeking out Tanjiro.
She realized that Ryuji's words had inadvertently influenced her, prompting her impulsive actions.
Tanjiro's earlier advice, "Live according to your heart," echoed in her mind.
Without further thought, Kanao stood before the gates of Rengoku Manor and called out, "Tanjiro!"
After several calls, only Rengoku Kyōjurō appeared. Recognizing Kanao, Rengoku Kyōjurō inquired, "You're Kanao, Shinobu's adopted sister, aren't you? What is it you need with Tanjiro? He's away on a mission and hasn't returned yet."
