(KANAO POV)

After Amane tells the Hashiras that they must prepare for the final battle against Muzan Kibutsuji, the pillar training begins, but Shinobu does not participate. You have already mastered all the training areas, consisting of the former pillar, Tengen Uzui, then Muichiro Tokito, then Mitsuri Kanroji, then Obanai Iguro, and then Sanemi Shinazugawa. In one day, you will go to Gyomei's training.

You arrive at the Butterfly House. You meet the three little maids, Sumi Kyo and Naho. Then you go to Shinobu's room, who is currently worshipping her sister's grave. As you arrive, she turns to you with a gentle smile.

You: Master, I have just finished my training with the Pillar of Wind. I will soon be leaving for the Pillar of Rocks, umm, and after that, I would like to train with you.

Shinobu: I'm sorry, Kanao, but I won't be there on Participate in pillar training

You: What? But why not? I'd love to train with you.

As you nervously look at the floor with red cheeks, Shinobu looks surprised, but then smiles again.

Shinobu: Kanao, you've learned to open up about your desires and needs. That's a good sign.
