Before long, Kanzaki Aoi was being pulled away from the Butterfly Mansion by Kiyo, Sumi, and Naho. Outside, snow was falling lightly, dusting the ground with a thin layer of white. The surrounding trees wore new coats of snow.
As they dragged her away from the Butterfly Mansion, Kanzaki Aoi grew even more puzzled, asking, "Where are we going? It's snowing! We'll catch a cold if we stay out here!"
"You'll see when we get there!" Kiyo replied with a beaming smile, as if something wonderful was about to happen.
Kanzaki Aoi, filled with apprehension, was led to the large, empty plaza at the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters. The plaza was particularly dark and silent, as there were no lights illuminating it.
Standing in the center, Kanzaki Aoi looked around and asked again, "Why have you brought me here?"
Suddenly, the plaza was illuminated by firelight. The source of the light was red candles placed around the plaza, which Kanzaki Aoi hadn't noticed in the darkness until they were all lit, revealing that they had been arranged around the perimeter.
The candles were arranged in the shape of a heart, transforming the atmosphere.
Kanzaki Aoi stared in shock at the heart-shaped arrangement of candles.
Then, a message spelled out in candles was lit, and tears welled up in Kanzaki Aoi's eyes. She covered her face, overwhelmed, feeling as if she were dreaming.
The message, burning brightly, read: "I love you, Kanzaki Aoi!"
As Kanzaki Aoi was still reeling from the revelation, the surrounding walls were lit up, revealing more hearts and the same message: "I love you, Kanzaki Aoi!"
The light came from candles fixed to the walls. The density of the lights revealed the sheer number of candles and the immense effort involved.
Of course, Zenitsu hadn't done this alone; he had enlisted the help of other Demon Slayer Corps members. However, Zenitsu had purchased all the candles, spending his entire savings from his missions.
The candles were specially connected, allowing them to be lit simultaneously, which was another significant undertaking.
Kanzaki Aoi's mind was blank. Looking at the candlelit plaza and the declarations of love on the walls, she felt like the luckiest girl in the world.
While Kanzaki Aoi was lost in her thoughts, Kiyo, Sumi, and Naho quietly slipped away.
Somehow, Zenitsu had appeared and was walking slowly towards Kanzaki Aoi, approaching her from behind.
Kanzaki Aoi was unaware of his presence. Zenitsu called out softly, "Kanzaki Aoi-chan! I've come to fulfill my promise!"
The voice behind her made Kanzaki Aoi jump, and she spun around.
