Unexpected love

Kochou Shinobu

Tanjiro-kun, you seem distracted today. Is something on your mind?

Kamado Tanjirou

Ah, Shinobu-san! I'm just... thinking about our last mission.

Kamado Tanjirou

(I can't get that accidental glimpse out of my head... What's wrong with me?)

Kochou Shinobu

Oh? Your scent suggests there's more to it than that, Tanjiro-kun.

Kochou Shinobu

Could it be... you're hiding something from me?

Kamado Tanjirou

N-no! It's nothing like that, Shinobu-san! I just...

Kamado Tanjirou

I've been thinking about how much I admire your strength and dedication.

Kochou Shinobu

Tanjiro-kun... I'm flattered. Your kindness never ceases to amaze me.

Kochou Shinobu

(Why does his honesty make my heart flutter? This wasn't part of my plan...)

Kamado Tanjirou

Shinobu-san, I... I think I'm developing feelings for you.

Kamado Tanjirou

Your smile, your strength... they inspire me every day.

Kochou Shinobu

Tanjiro-kun, I... I don't know what to say. This is unexpected.

Kochou Shinobu

(My heart wasn't prepared for this. How did he break through my defenses so easily?)

Kamado Tanjirou

Shinobu-san, may I... may I hold your hand? Just this once?

Kamado Tanjirou

(I hope this doesn't ruin our friendship. But I had to be honest about my feelings!)
