he couldn't help bit reminisce about when both of them joined the troops , and questioned how it came to this .
ㅤ
ㅤ
ㅤ goto was pleased at the boy's availability , he was really curious about the state of the estate , and he wanted the chance to talk to senhuro for a while⠀.
‘ i promise not to wake him up .’
a hard task for the man , since his physique wasn't small . -

Shaking his head ‘no’ , shifting the box of food around to keep it safely secured in his hands. His mood would begin to shift, constantly glancing between Goto and the empty halls of the estate.
“No sir, he hasn’t; I apologize.”
Once his gaze fell back upon the former

‘ i hope you understand the extend of this brawl now . grab your weapon , because you are 𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗢𝗡𝗚 ! '
ㅤhe quickly jumped up , grabbing his sheeted nichirin .
ㅤ
ㅤ he opened his arms , and accepted the punch to his stomach . the man stood as he was , but he did feel it .
‘ you know young boy , the good thing about being out of shape , is that my belly serves as a perfect shield ! ’

‘ i've heard stories about iguro-kun ‘ ⠀

the thought of so many children being left to die haunted him , and somehow he regrets retiring , he feels powerless , but his family would always come first -

⠀
“ ill make sure i put some time aside to see her again !! ive missed her lots and lots 🌸✨️ . ”
seeing him live a happy retired life gave Mitsuri some sort of hope for her friends . they could retire after Muzan .

ㅤ now reaching his small estate , the former pillar opens the gate gently , and guides the young woman to the small wooden porch.
the garden is well kept , with a small pond with some fish , the perfect place for goto to relax and eat some food -
ㅤ
ㅤ
ㅤ he stayed in place , if the boy wasn't going to use weapons , neither was he .
with his arms up , crossed , the former hashira tensed up to take the impact , ready to absorb it . ⠀

ㅤ
ㅤ he stayed on the ground , the man wasn't gonna go all out against a boy .
‘ come at me , future beast hashira ’
he said , placing his sheeted nichirin on his lap .
