Unlike Musashi, Goto had been taking care of the unconscious Tanjirou every day for the past month, constantly hoping he would wake up.
That's why he was so excited to see Tanjirou awake, and Kanao's calm, silent demeanor also infuriated him.
"Why are you always so calm?! Go call someone! Tell everyone he's regained consciousness! You silly girl!"
Goto's eyes were wide, almost popping out of their sockets, as he shouted at Kanao.
But for Kanao, this was already a significant reaction; she had voluntarily spoken to someone and even shed tears.
Seeing Goto's expression, Kanao quickly bowed repeatedly, apologizing to him, though she wasn't sure what she had done wrong.
But Goto still looked furious.
"Everyone's been worried sick about this kid! This is a big deal! I don't care about Moon anymore!"
Goto said angrily as he walked to the ward door.
"Kiyo! Sumi! Naho! And Aoi! Tanjirou is awake!"
Goto stood at the ward door, shouting down the corridor.
Immediately, the three young girls from Butterfly Mansion rushed into the ward, tears streaming down their faces, overjoyed by Tanjirou's awakening.
Then they all crowded around Tanjirou; Nakahara Sumi even held a bean paste bun, crying as she tried to feed it to Tanjirou, Goto brought over honey cake, and Kanao calmly smiled, watching everything unfold.
Musashi couldn't help but smile, seeing the harmonious and warm scene in the ward.
Just then, a person completely covered by a sheet also rushed in.
"Ah—a monster!"
Naho's face turned pale with fright at the sight.
Just as the figure was about to crash into Musashi, he subtly moved aside, and then, in passing, took the sheet.
Then Kanzaki Aoi's figure was revealed.
Because Musashi was obscured by the sheet he had taken, Kanzaki Aoi didn't notice him and went straight to Naho and the others, pouncing onto Tanjirou's sickbed.
"You're finally awake!!! Everyone did it to protect us..."
Kanzaki Aoi burst into tears, filled with guilt.
Musashi figured they wouldn't finish talking anytime soon, so he quietly slipped out with the sheet, planning to re-enter later.
He had come to see Tanjirou, first, to visit him, and second, to bid farewell to his friends in the Demon Slayer Corps.
He planned to follow Tamayo's advice and search for demons with spatial abilities, capture them, and bring them back for Tamayo to research, in case Muzan truly possessed such spatial abilities, leaving them unprepared.
At the same time, he also wanted to try his luck and see if he could encounter Muzan again.
Once he left this time, he didn't plan to return to headquarters easily; besides Kochou Shinobu on Tamayo's side, he wouldn't be able to see other Demon Slayer Corps members for a long time.
So he wanted to say goodbye to them.
After hanging the sheet outside, Musashi waited outside Tanjirou's ward for a while, and then Nakahara Sumi, Terauchi Kiyo, Takada Naho, and Kanzaki Aoi came out one after another.
"Musashi-sama!? Are you also here to visit Tanjirou?" Kanzaki Aoi was very surprised to see Musashi outside the door.
Musashi didn't know what to say at her words.
However, fortunately, the three young girls next to Kanzaki Aoi spoke for her.
"Musashi-sama arrived before us," Nakahara Sumi said.
"Eh?!"
Kanzaki Aoi was greatly shocked by this.
"That's right, and when Aoi just came in, she almost ran into Musashi-sama. After Musashi-sama dodged, he also took the sheet that was covering you," Terauchi Kiyo added.
"What!!"
Terauchi Kiyo's words made Kanzaki Aoi instantly want to find a hole to crawl into.
"Afterward, Musashi-sama probably thought the ward was too noisy and retreated," Takada Naho continued.
Kanzaki Aoi, realizing the truth, immediately felt extremely ashamed, her face flushed as she bowed to Musashi.
"I am terribly sorry! Musashi-sama! I... I was too anxious at the time and didn't notice you!" Kanzaki Aoi immediately apologized to Musashi.
"It's fine, I understand your feelings, after all, Tanjirou has been unconscious for so long. You don't need to apologize to me."
Musashi smiled indifferently at her words and said.
"Alright, you all go about your business, I'll go in and see him." Musashi said, then walked into the ward.
Goto was just about to leave; after greeting Musashi, he also left the ward.
Now, only Tanjirou and Kanao remained in the ward.
Before Musashi could say anything, Tanjirou spoke first.
"Musashi... when I was unconscious just now, I had a dream... I dreamed of someone who looked almost exactly like you... and someone who looked like my ancestor..."
Tanjirou looked at Musashi, recalling the dream he had during his unconsciousness—the person in the dream who said he was leaving, who said he was useless, whose appearance was extremely similar, even identical, to his companion before him.
Kanao, who was sitting by the sickbed, also got up and left the ward.
Musashi remembered something when he heard Tanjirou's words and said to Tanjirou, "The person you dreamed of should be the senior named Yoriichi..."
Then Musashi sat by Tanjirou's sickbed and quietly said to him, "Miss Tamayo said that my appearance is almost identical to Senior Tsugikuni..."
Tanjirou was shocked to hear Tamayo's name; he didn't know that Musashi and Tamayo knew each other, so he immediately asked Musashi, "Does Musashi also know Miss Tamayo?"
"Yes." Musashi nodded. He knew Tanjirou also knew Tamayo since their last discussion about the plan to eliminate Muzan.
Then he continued, "Based on my previous speculation, your Hinokami Kagura is very likely inherited from that Senior Tsugikuni.
So the dream you had might have been the situation at that time. I remember there's a saying that people sometimes inherit their ancestors' memories, which then manifest as dreams."
"Then it must be as you said... It seems my ancestor did know that Senior Tsugikuni... and Hinokami Kagura was also inherited from his Sun Breathing..."
Tanjirou also agreed with what Musashi said. Since the dream didn't contain anything important, Tanjirou stopped talking about it.
"Tanjirou, besides visiting you, I also came to say goodbye to you this time," Musashi said to Tanjirou.
Then he thought for a moment and added, "I plan to search for Muzan's traces in various places and probably won't be back for a long time, so I wanted to let you all know."
