‘What do I wear again?’I stare at my wardrobe.
“I guess casual wear? Although I don’t really have it..”
“It should be fine right?…”
I sigh as I reach the Love estate, dressed in a blue dress shirt and cobalt jeans.
I knock on the door to hear fumbling footsteps. As the door slides open I see Mitsuri with cups in her hands.
“Do you need help with those?”I look at the cups before looking at her signature watermelon hair colour.
“No no! Just sit down at the table over there!”She points to a table where it seems only the Kocho sisters arrived so far.
I sat down next to Shinobu and asked where were the others.
“They are bringing a few things over.”
“Oh okay..”I rest my chin on my hands, drifting off into deep thinking.
I guess at least 15 minutes passed as I hear the others entering. I turn to see them carrying various food and even alcohol.
“Are we even allowed to drink?”I eyed the bottles suspiciously, even though I am 20 years old I haven’t drunk any alcohol.
“We literally hunt demons down, heck you even started at age 12.”
“…”
“Touche.”We gather around the table to eat.
I just watch as the others get themselves drunk even though I was on my 15th cup of sake.
“Man you have a high alcohol tolerance!”Uzui smacks my back before blacking out.
The others were clearly drunk as they lay on the ground. I groan at the thought of having to help them into beds.
“Mitsuri-san, It’s fine if they all use the rooms here right?”I smile at her.
Mitsuri was the only one who didn’t drink with us. She nodded her head as she carries the boys up into spare rooms with ease.
As I finish carrying Giyuu and Sabito up, Kanae and Shinobu were left at the table.
“I can probably bring them over to the Butterfly estate one by one since it’s close.”
I first carried Kanae who was super light back to her room, then it was Shinobu turn.
“Up we go!”I carry her in a bridal style before mentioning how light she was.
She was half awake when I carried her. She wraps her arms around my neck before falling asleep again.
I sigh as I can feel her breath on my neck.
“Nee, why are you so cute..”I pout at her sleeping face.
I walk up to her room and gently place her down, covering her in the futon blankets.
Her eyes flutter a bit before speaking, “Nee Haru-san you really are pretty..”
She giggles before continuing, “and kind, strong and way too tall for me.”
“Pfft, way too tall for you?”I giggle as I gently ruffle her hair.
She squirms a little under my touch before smiling at me.
“Yeah, guess that’s why I like you~”She then proceeds to fall asleep.
It wasn’t a secret that Shinobu likes me, most of the Hashiras knew about it and even teases her about it when I wasn’t around.
I swear my face heated up into a tomato, thank god no one was around to see it.I cover my smile with the back of my hand before standing up to leave the room.
“Night Shinobu-san.”I gently close the door.
.
The night went by and morning came about. I yawn and stretch my arms as I change my pyjamas into my demon slayer outfit. I left my mask on my head as I sleepily rub my eyes.
I make my way to the kitchen from one of the Butterfly estate’s room to prepare food when I hear footsteps coming.
I lazily peek over to see Shinobu speed walking towards the kitchen.
Shinobu stood before me with a flustered look on her face.
“I didn’t say anything embarrassing to you did I?”
‘cute..’ I move my face closer to hers, making her blush redden.
“And if you did?”I smirk at her volcano-like state.
“Does it mean you really like me?”I continue to tease.
“Yes…”Her eyes were looking down at the floor before moving to meet mine.
“Well?”
“Oh my Shinobu-san really does like me~”I playfully smile at her.
“If you don’t like me the same it’s fine I-“I grab her arm before she could turn to leave, pulling her into a hug.
“Mm..I like you too Butterfly.”I smoothed her bed hair as she returns the hug.
“I didn’t think you would like me, let alone like a girl…”She mumbles.
“Also butterfly?”She moves her head upwards.
“It shall be your nickname from now on.”I giggle as I kiss her forehead.
She moves her head back down to hide the blush forming on her face. I smile at her before placing my chin on her head.
“You really are short though..”
“Do you have a death wish?”I can feel her anger rising against my body.
I just hum,”Do I at least have a nickname?”
“..”
“You’re my own personal heater for winter I suppose.”
“Nee that’s kinda mean~”I pout at my new nickname.
“Serves you right.”She releases the hug and turns away from me.
“Hai~I will be making breakfast..”I pat her head.
After making grilled salmon and miso soup,I set down the plates down onto the table.
“Eat up~”I sit down next to Kanao.
The morning went by peacefully as I sat on the roof of my estate.
The children training in the backyard was loud enough for me to hear as I enjoy the warmth of the sunlight.
‘Nee Muzan, what are you doing now?’I comb through my loose hair.
