INTO THE THICK OF IT — CHAPTER #54 — CHOOSE (Y/N)! CHOOSE!

"..." You sluggishly rubbed your eyes upon waking up to embrace a new day, realizing that it was already the sixth day, marking nearly a week gone by. To your surprise, you found the bed you shared with Nezuko, Daki, and Gyutaro completely vacant. Perplexed, you scanned the room only to be greeted with a gasp as your eyes fell upon the most endearing scene imaginable.

"Aww!!" You whispered in sheer delight, your eyes gleaming with adoration. Not far from where you lay, Nezuko and Daki were seated on the floor engaged in conversation, while Gyutaro stood behind them meticulously braiding each of their respective hair.

Curious about the commotion, Nezuko turned around, prompting a disgruntled Gyutaro to smack her head. "Don't move so much! You'll make me mess it up!"

Unfazed, Nezuko joyfully called out to you, waving excitedly. "Hmhmh!!!"

"Oh, (Y/N)!! Good morning!" Daki greeted you with a wide smile, setting a cheerful tone to the morning. As you returned the greeting, the heartwarming sight left you feeling elated. However, your mischievous side surfaced, and Gyutaro, noticing your sly smile, narrowed his eyes and grunted in anticipation. Before you could utter a word, the green-haired demon beat you to it.

"Whatever you have in that damn head of yours-keep it there," he warned, prompting you to burst into laughter, clutching your stomach with tears in your eyes.

"I-I didn't even say anything yet!!" you exclaimed between breaths.

"Your look said it all."

Undeterred, you moved closer, attempting to squeeze Gyutaro's cheek, but he swiftly slapped your hand away, his face displaying a subtle flustered expression. Refusing your advances, he maintained a stern demeanor, trying to conceal his embarrassment. "You can't be such a cutie patootie and NOT expect me to coo at you!!"

"I didn't ask you," he retorted, avoiding your attempts to get closer, his face slightly flustered. He didn't want you to notice, as he was convinced you would mock him even more.

"Aww, the two of you look absolutely adorable with those double braids! This has got to be the cutest thing I've ever seen!" Trying to steer the conversation away from potentially annoying Gyutaro further, you couldn't help but compliment them. Daki blushed visibly at the comment but laughed, clearly enjoying any form of praise from you.

"Thank you! Isn't my brother the best?" With her hair now neatly braided, Daki stood up and twirled around, playfully pinching Gyutaro's cheek. He chuckled in response, evidently pleased to see his sister so happy. "Even Nezuko looks somewhat prettier!"

"Hmhm!" Nezuko pouted at Daki and seemed ready to retaliate, but Gyutaro promptly pulled her hair, reminding her to stay still. "What did I say about moving?! I'm not finished! Wait for a few more seconds!" True to his words, he finished Nezuko's braids shortly after. Excitedly, she stood up and jumped, clearly pleased with her new hairstyle. Gyutaro couldn't help but smirk, displaying a sense of pride in his handiwork.

"Nezuko! We look adorable!!" Daki giggled as she held hands with her, creating an unexpected image of friendship between the two.

"Ohh..." You expressed amusement. "You two aren't fighting as much as before." Observing the newfound camaraderie, you couldn't help but comment on their changed dynamic since you woke up.

"Hahaha!" Daki laughed in a villainous yet endearing way. She proudly explained, "We're not really fighting a lot because, for the time being, we're simply rivals. No need to be enemies!"

"Hhmhm!" Nezuko nodded in agreement.

"...O-kay...?" You awkwardly laughed, tilting your head in confusion, not entirely understanding why they were now rivals. Deciding not to press further, you left it at that.

"Wait!" Daki suddenly interjected, catching everyone's attention. "Brother! I have a marvelous idea!"

"Do tell, sis."

"You should make (Y/N) braids like us! So the three of us can be matching!!" Her suggestion was met with enthusiasm from Nezuko, whose eyes lit up at the idea. She nodded vigorously, adding to the excitement.

"...I think that's not..." Your embarrassment was palpable as you processed her idea. Gyutaro touching your hair? Uncertain if he was comfortable enough for such intimacy, you glanced at him, hoping to gauge his reaction.

"..." A tense silence hung in the air. You gulped, hesitant about the possibility of him rejecting Daki's request, fearing it might dampen your spirits. His nonchalant gaze met yours, and just as you prepared for disappointment, his unexpected words left his mouth. "...Are you coming or not?"

"Hehehe," a soft giggle escaped you as you eagerly walked towards him, taking a seat in front of him with your legs crossed. The prospect of him playing with your hair made your inner self squeal with excitement. Your fingers trembled with happiness as you felt him behind you, his hands already skillfully working through your hair. A fuzzy warmth enveloped you, the realization that it was Gyutaro styling your hair adding to your joy.

"Hey, what are you squirming about?" He murmured into your ear, clearly wanting to keep it between the two of you. "Stop moving."

"Sorry! Can't help it! I'm excited!" You managed to utter, your excitement making it difficult to speak coherently.

"About what?"

"About you!" You giggled like a fangirl. It was Gyutaro, after all; it was only natural to feel nervously excited in this situation. However, it seemed the demon didn't fully grasp your response.

"...ok." He ignored you and continued working on your double braids-he was taking a lot since your short hair made it difficult to keep all your hair strands in place/your hair was very large so obviously, it would take him more time.

Gradually, you relaxed, savoring the peculiar experience of being treated in this manner. Glancing around, you noticed Daki and Nezuko engrossed in a lively conversation, and it filled you with joy. Your earlier concerns about their relationship seemed unfounded; they appeared to be almost like long-time friends.

"Don't they look adorable?" You asked, expressing your admiration to no one in particular.

"If you mean Daki, then yes," Gyutaro replied to your seemingly silly question without much thought.

"Both of them."

"Eh, maybe." He shrugged, showing a hint of indifference.

"Hey..." you called out to him, capturing his attention. "You're actually very good at this!" Your praise referred to the gentle and skillful way he was styling your hair. So far, he hadn't pulled a single strand, treating you with nothing but delicacy.

"Well," he trailed off for a moment, contemplating his response. "When me and Daki were little, I used to practice with her hair every day-creating all sorts of hairstyles. She told me she felt pretty every time I would braid her hair, so I aimed to perfect it for her."

"Aw," you cooed at his heartfelt explanation, envisioning a younger Daki and Gyutaro being adorable with each other.

"It's been a while since I've braided her hair. I was afraid I might have gotten rusty, but I guess I was wrong, hehe..." He chuckled, mostly to himself, though you overheard. At his revelation, you connected the dots, that's probably why Daki enjoyed it so much when you braided her hair before at the Kyogoku house-it likely reminded her of when her brother used to do it. Truly adorable. "Aanddd, done." Blinking a few times, you realized that Gyutaro had finished with your hair. Surprisingly quick, he handed you a small mirror. Delighting in how the braids looked on you, you couldn't help but laugh in sheer delight.

"Thank you! These are absolutely lovely!" You squealed with genuine joy, expressing gratitude for your now enchanting appearance.

"Eh," Gyutaro scratched his neck, dismissing it with a nonchalant air. "It's nothing."

"Haha, should I perhaps reward you...?"

"What."

"Daki! Nezuko! Look at my braids!" Your excitement surged as you stood up, showcasing your cute, matching appearance, leaving Gyutaro dumbfounded by your earlier suggestive statement, his imagination running wild.

"You look beautiful!" Daki was the first to compliment you, treating you with a reverence as if you were a deity. "Well, you're always beautiful for sure."

"Mhmhmh!" Nezuko chimed in, sharing in the excitement of seeing you with matching hairstyles.

"Thank you both!" You laughed, secretly reveling in the ego boost from their compliments. Daki's gaze wandered around you for a few moments before a new idea sparked in her mind. She smiled, touching your shoulder with enthusiasm to have your attention.

"(Y/N)! Please! Could you do braids for my brother?" She pleaded, her eyes sparkling.

"What?!" Gyutaro turned his head so abruptly that for a moment, you feared it might snap off.

"Gmhh!!" Nezuko cheered, thoroughly enjoying the idea.

"Shut up!" Gyutaro threw a pillow at the pink-eyed demon. "W-What the hell are you saying, Daki?!"

"Please, (Y/N)!" Daki persisted, begging you with all her heart.

"Of course! No problem!" You readily agreed to this seemingly silly request. How could you possibly refuse? You witnessed Daki's elation as she soared over the moon, contrasting with the apparent anger emanating from Gyutaro. You glanced at him and began walking, ready to braid his hair.

"In your dreams!" He hissed at you, taking a few steps back.

"What's the matter?" You tilted your head. "Consider it my repayment from before!"

"Fuck off!" He vehemently refused, avoiding your attempts to get close. It wasn't about you; it was his own feelings of unworthiness. Embarrassment surged within him. When he was alive, people were repulsed by the mere sight of him, let alone touch. He didn't want you interacting with him and feeling disgusted. He'd rather die.

"You fuck off. Stop being a baby." Undeterred, you paid no mind to his attempts to push you away. Somehow managing to get behind him, you smirked, preparing your hands.

"W-Wait!" It was too late. You had already begun brushing and combing his hair with your fingers, undoing his bun, and letting his hair fall loose.

"Good job!!" Daki congratulated you for successfully handling her brother, then seamlessly returned to her gossiping session with Nezuko.

"Shit..." Gyutaro reluctantly gave in and allowed you to do as you pleased, although he couldn't shake off the discomfort. He imagined you harboring negative thoughts about him, perhaps believing he smelled bad, that his hair was greasy, that he was ugly, or worse. Meanwhile, your internal monologue took an unexpected turn.

'JEEZ! HOW CAN THIS MAN HAVE SUCH PRETTY HAIR?!' You were in awe as you discovered the softness and ease of styling in his hair, completely contradicting your prior expectations. It was a revelation that the fans would find hard to believe. "Hey!" You called out to him.

"Y-Yeah?" He responded, his tension palpable.

"Your hair is literally so soft! I could play with it the entire day!"

"..." He didn't respond immediately, and for a moment, you feared you had offended him. However, the truth was, the demon felt shy, as no one had ever complimented his hair, or him in general, before. This was the first time someone, especially a girl, had said something nice to him. Perhaps, he thought, he could get used to you if you continued to compliment him like this. "...thanks."

Gyutaro was starting to understand why his sister liked you so much. He could see the appeal.

"There! Finished! Ta-dah! A total princess!" You clapped for him, ensuring everyone's attention was on him. Soon, Nezuko and Daki joined in the applause.

"Brother! You look fantastic!! You look adorable!" Daki laughed, holding his cheeks with both hands and cooing at him.

"Hehe, do I really?" He snickered (🤭), actually feeling a sense of cuteness himself.

"Hmhm!" Nezuko also chimed in with a compliment.

"Kekeke, thank you, you flatter me." He giggled even more at Nezuko's praise, leaving you slightly envious that you couldn't comprehend her words.

"Now we're all matching!" You cheered, appreciating everyone's double braids. However, your celebration was interrupted by a knock on the door. "Hmh?"

After a few seconds, the door opened, revealing the mysterious visitor to be none other than Shinobu. Her usual expression of calm surprise morphed into genuine shock as she witnessed all of you goofing around with matching double braids.

"Oh." She uttered a single word.

"..."

"(Y/N)! I've been looking for you for quite some time now!" Shinobu chose to ignore the peculiar scene she walked into, addressing you as if nothing out of the ordinary had occurred.

"For me?" You inquired, to which Shinobu nodded. "For what?"

"Nothing too important! Just for, oh! Hi there, Nezuko!" She abruptly paused in her explanation as she noticed the demon girl greeting her. Shinobu chuckled a bit but then, her eyes widened, as if she had forgotten something crucial. "Oh my, that's right! I haven't introduced myself to you two yet! How rude of me!"

Daki and Gyutaro were genuinely surprised by her consideration. Daki gestured with her hands, a bit unsure, and reassured her, "no, no! It's okay! Don't worry!"

"Fu-Fu... I'm Koucho Shinobu. The insect Hashira. Pleasure to meet you, Shabana siblings." She bowed gracefully, making them a tad bit nervous. They imitated her as well, expressing their pleasure at meeting her too.

...

A heavy and awkward silence settled in. You furrowed your brows, wondering what went wrong. It was fine just a few seconds ago. You shifted your gaze to Shinobu to figure out the cause of the sudden discomfort.

Oh.

Shinobu was feeling uncomfortable herself. Now you understood. Although she was trying to hide it, to you, it was plainly obvious that she was struggling to warm up to them. It wasn't entirely her fault; she did express a desire to learn how to get along with them, but you recognized that it wasn't an easy task, and she still harbored some disdain for them. On the other hand, you appreciated the effort she put into trying.

Eager to alleviate the tension, you brushed off an imaginary speck of dust from your clothes and approached Shinobu, prepared to bid farewell to the group. "Well! I have to go! It was nice seeing you all!" You said with a warm smile.

"(Y/N)! Please, visit often! Don't forget about us!" Daki exclaimed, already feeling a pang of sadness as you prepared to leave.

"I-I didn't forget you, guys!" You admitted, acknowledging your forgetfulness.

"Mhhm." They all nodded in a sarcastic agreement.

"Sorry." You quickly apologized, feeling a twinge of guilt. "I'll promise I'll come more." As you finished speaking, you noticed that Shinobu was holding a bag. What was that for?

Despite her evident discomfort, Shinobu took a few determined steps forward, her demeanor unusually serious. You observed her with curiosity, intrigued by this rare moment where her customary smile was entirely absent. Gracefully, she reached into the bag she was carrying, searching for something. The group's collective curiosity grew as they wondered about the contents of the bag. Delicately, she kneeled and placed two small plastic containers on the floor.

"...!" You gasped in surprise as you recognized the contents-two small containers filled with what appeared to be fresh blood. Daki and Gyutaro also seemed visibly shocked, their survival instincts momentarily triggered. Despite their prolonged abstinence from blood, they remained still, waiting for Shinobu to explain the purpose of her action.

"This blood belongs to consenting donors," she explained, her voice sounding a bit stiff. "They are aware that you two will collaborate with us and wanted to contribute to the cause. I assumed that you two might not have a technique to survive without blood, so we prepared this for your sustenance."

'Shinobu!!' You internally exclaimed, touched by her thoughtful gesture. You marveled at how considerate she was.

"Oh jeez!" Daki gasped, mirroring your reaction. Small tears welled up in her eyes. "T-Thank you so much for this! I-We! We really mean it!" She bowed, prompting her brother to do the same.

"Uh, er, yes. Thank you." Gyutaro timidly bowed as well, feeling genuinely grateful, despite his sister's practically coercive actions.

One of Shinobu's eyes twitched, but she managed to smile prettily, closing her eyes casually. "It's no problem. Now, (Y/N), let's go."

"Oh, well, yes! Okay!" You quickly nodded and followed her out of the room, waving goodbye to Daki and Nezuko, who were enthusiastically bidding you farewell. You also threw a wink at Gyutaro, earning a roll of his eyes in response. As you and Shinobu walked down the hallways, you couldn't help but blink a few times as you observed her expression. It was painfully obvious that she was uncomfortable, yet she had kept her word about working things out with demons.

"Shinobu!" You called out to her.

"Yes?"

"Thank you for what you did out there! I'm so happy! And proud!" You beamed, pumping your fists in excitement.

"Oh... that? It was nothing! It's the least I could do for them." She brushed off your compliments, not fully understanding why you were so shocked.

"No! Don't say it wasn't nothing! I'm like-" You paused, attempting to find the right words. "Super proud! It was amazing! Even they were at the verge of tears! You're like a goddess!"

"Okay, now you're overreacting." She chuckled at your words, her mood visibly improving. "Anyway, how are you feeling?"

"I'm feeling much better! I'm very energetic!" With that, you began showcasing some random karate moves to demonstrate that you were already back to normal. "See?!"

"Fu-Fu... I can very much see that." She laughed again, finding your actions adorable. "I'm glad."

"Does that mean I can go on missions again!?" You asked with stars in your eyes.

"Mhm..." She took a moment to ponder, building up your anxiety. "I'm not sure! We'll see!"

"Ugh, shit." You cursed in disappointment.

"Hahaha, but no worries! Time passes fast!" She reassured you by gently petting your head. You nodded in agreement.

"So, Shinobu, why were you looking for me?" You suddenly remembered the reason you were with her in the first place.

"I was looking for you because of two reasons."

"And those are...?"

"..." She gazed at you with a silly smile, causing you to sweat in confusion. "You know, it'll be better if we talked in my room. Are you fine with that?"

"E-Eh?!" You stuttered. Shinobu's room? It's an honor that she's inviting you, but you can't help but feel a little nervous. You've never been to her room before, and there's a scene (you think) where she and Kanao are talking in her room, but you're not too sure.

"(Y/N)...?" She tilted her head, concerned by your silence.

"O-Oh! I mean, yes! Of course!" You agreed with a heavy nod.

"Good." The two of you walked a bit more until reaching your destination. Shinobu opened the sliding door, and you couldn't help but gasp a little in excitement. Her bedroom was a reflection of her personality-minimalist, with slides that opened to the outside. A tiny garden adorned with flowers and butterflies surrounded the area. You continued to look around, noticing a well-kept shrine in the corner of the room, likely for her parents and Kanae. You kept quiet about it.

You saw her futon, which had dark purple sheets around with a flower pattern. You also noticed how there were some garden utensils such as trowels, gloves, shovels, soil and more. Did Shinobu liked gardening? You gazed at it for a few seconds until a memory flew onto your mind.

After hearing your question, Kanao got a bit shy and scratched her cheek. "I... Lately, I've been interested in flowers... It may sound dumb, but I even want to start a little garden of my own." Her cheeks flushed as she spoke. She admitted, "I told Master (Shinobu) about it, and she said she could help me with it when we have free time..."

Aw right! Kanao did mention that Shinobu would help her! This must be the materials they need to start creating one. How cute.

Suddenly, your thoughts were interrupted by a gentle voice, "we can sit outside. We have nice weather today." Shinobu suggested, and you readily agreed. Following her from behind, you took the opportunity to observe her room as much as you could.

"Aw...!" You cooed, noticing that Shinobu had the photo taken during your mission with Kanao, Tomioka, and Inosuke, where you all had to wear suits. It was a lovely picture, and you couldn't believe she had it hanging on her wall. "I can't believe you have this picture!"

Turning around to see what you were talking about, she chuckled. "Why wouldn't I have it? I love that photo." She stepped to be by your side. "It was a nice day. I had so much fun, even though we were on a mission."

"Ah! Me too! Me too!" You nodded enthusiastically until memories of the encounter with Douma and Akaza that day crossed your mind, and the smile on your face faded. "...It was okay."

"Mhm!" She nodded at your words but couldn't help noticing how your gaze moved to another part of the room. Following your eyes, she saw that you were looking at the tank that contained her dears.

"Wahhh!! Goldfishes!!" You exclaimed in happiness. "They are so cute!" You rushed over to the red tank, where three goldfishes swam nervously around, rocks and plants decorating their watery home. One of them, the smallest and roundest, remained calm at the sight of you. "What are their names?"

"I have only named one." She kneeled at your side to make it easier for you to see. "The one looking at you is named Fugu. They are all Ryukin goldfishes."

"Wahh! Fugu! You're adorable!" You blew Fugu some kisses, but the fish remained unfazed. Fugu appeared to be more orange, while the other two were more saturated. "Why haven't you named the other two?"

"Well, I was looking to pick up a new hobby, and these Ryukins caught my attention. I'm new at this, got them not so long ago. Basically, I'm a beginner, but I think I'm doing a good job?" She tilted her head as she gazed at her cute goldfishes, who now appeared to be calmer at the sight of her.

"A new hobby? Why?"

"...I wanted to try something new. Maybe even distract my mind from things."

"I get you." You nodded. You knew Shinobu must have a lot on her mind right now-her plan to kill Douma, demons in general, Muzan, Kanao, the butterfly state, and probably a lot of things you don't know about. Getting herself a hobby to distract from everything and allow herself a break by doing something new is a good choice. "You should try to get a bigger tank."

"Huh? A bigger tank?"

"Yeah... I think these goldfish tend to grow really big, so, in the near future, they might get really uncomfortable with the lack of space." You analyzed as you watched the small fishes swimming around energetically. "Oh, and maybe don't put a lot of decorations? They seem to move a lot, and having things around might make them hurt themselves."

"Oh my, you're right... How could that have slipped my mind?" Shinobu murmured, visibly worried by her mistake, a hint of mortification in her expression. It was her first time taking care of something alive, so she wasn't sure about all the details. "How careless of me..."

"Oh! B-But don't feel bad! I'm just blurting things out!!" You stuttered nervously, concerned that you might have offended her with your observations.

"No, you are right. I should investigate more to take better care of them. They are my responsibility." She smiled sadly, her gaze fixed on her fish. "Practically, their lives depend on me... I wouldn't want anything bad happening to them..."

"Well..." You pondered for a moment. "I... I could help you. Taking care of them, I mean..." Shinobu fell silent for a moment, her eyes moving to your figure, making you feel a bit nervous under her stare. "Like, I can assist you in taking care of them! That way, it'll be easier! For example, I'm sure you must be busy with the demon slayer corps, so I can feed them and check on them from time to time!"

"...Wouldn't that be asking a lot?" She asked with a slight frown. "I don't want to burden you."

"Burden me? Pff-I'll be more than glad! This hobby is fun!" You laughed. "Besides, isn't it better to do something with people you like? It's more entertaining and enjoyable!"

"..." She didn't immediately answer as she watched you acting silly with the fish. Making funny faces and sticking your tongue out at them, somehow the goldfishes got offended, except Fugu, and launched themselves at you through the glass. Would this hobby be more enjoyable with someone helping her? Especially you?

Shinobu spaced out for a moment before regaining her senses. "Well, if you have no problems with it, I would love to take care of them with you."

"Yayy! We'll do a great job! I promise!" You cheered, raising both of your hands to give her a high-five. She didn't waste any time and gently followed your little action, a small giggle escaping her lips.

"If you're going to help me take care of them, shouldn't you name one?" Shinobu suggested, genuinely interested in your creative choices.

"Name one? Mhmmm...." You thought aloud, gazing at the fishes. "I'm not sure at all."

"Don't stress out! Be creative!"

"Shit!! Oh! I got it!" You beamed, finally having an idea. You pointed at the smallest goldfish, which seemed to have a great disliking towards you. "What about Chuck Megatron Taylor West 5000!?"

...

"...Is that English?"

"Yeah!"

"Oh, it's cute, I think... but fine! Let's go with that!" Shinobu must have assumed it was English, but she didn't have any idea what the hell you just said. It sounded foreign, that's for sure. "And what about the other fish? Do you want to name them too?"

"Hmh, what about... Chou! It means butterfly!" You chirped, liking your own idea. Even the fish seemed to like it, though Chuck Megatron Taylor West 5000 looked rather mad than satisfied with their own name.

"Chou is... delightful. It's nice and simple. I like it." Shinobu agreed, feeling very happy and giddy that now her fishes had proper names-Fugu, Chuck Megatron Taylor West 5000, and Chou.

"Don't worry, cuties! We'll take really good care of you three!" You hugged the tank, and everyone except Fugu seemed scared of you. The butterfly woman giggled at you, and the atmosphere went quiet. Finally having a moment of peace, you began to realize how dizzy you felt. You were so distracted by Shinobu and the fishes that you didn't notice your sudden fatigue. Odd. You looked around to see if there was anything strange that was making you feel that way, but you saw nothing-plants, some Wisteria outside, air fresheners...

"(Y/N)," Shinobu called for you.

"Oh, um, yeah?" You pushed aside your dizziness and paid attention to her.

"If it's not too much, could you perhaps talk to me about Daki and Gyutaro?" She saw your puzzled face and proceeded to explain herself. "I want to start making some tests and experiment with some stuff with them. Nothing dangerous."

"Really? That's awesome! What do you want me to tell you?"

"It would be perfect if you could just... talk to me about them in general." And you took her words literally. You began explaining everything to her. This was your chance to make Shinobu understand that they truly meant no evil and that they were really trying to change. You even told her unnecessary details such as their personalities and things they like. You knew that by telling Shinobu stuff like that, she might begin to realize that they were more human than they look like.

"And I know it's difficult to just... accept after everything they did and happened, but I truly mean it when I say that they aren't bad. They are truly willing to change for the better." You finally finished talking, allowing yourself to catch a break from talking. You felt glad since Shinobu actively listened to every word of your ramble, not missing anything. She's a very good listener.

"Really, thank you (Y/N). Now, I feel reassured."

"Reassured?" What did she mean by that?

"Well," she chuckled at your silly confusion. "They must genuinely be nice people for you to speak so highly of them, even though they're demons. If you trust them, it must be because of something, and I trust you and your reasoning."

"Aww, Shinobu!!" You felt tears forming at the corner of your eyes. Why was she so nice to you!? It made you cry! You wanted to hug her so much right now, but her sudden gasp didn't let you do so. "Oh, wait, what's wrong?"

"I got so engaged talking to you that I almost forgot the reason I even went to look for you in the first place!" She gasped, covering her mouth, quickly standing up, and helping you in the process. "The reason I was looking for you is because Uzui answered his wives were crazily looking after you! They really wanted to see you. They were worried because you didn't sleep with them last night and had no idea of your whereabouts!"

"Oh shit, really? I forgot to tell them! I really got to see them now, then!"

"I'll accompany you."

"Okay!" You wasted no time and ran out of the room, missing the small murmur that had left Shinobu's lips.

"I wish we could've spent more time together..." After saying that, she realized how childish that must have sounded and shook her head in embarrassment, deciding to follow you quickly.

----------------------------

"WAHHHHH, (Y/N)!! HOW COULD YOU HAVE DISAPPEARED WITHOUT TELLING US?! DO YOU WANT ME TO HAVE A HEART ATTACK?" Suma exclaimed, her tone a mix of worry and annoyance.

You moved your hands in shaking motions, quickly denying the earlier statement. "It was not my intention-"

"SHUT UP AND LET ME HUG YOU!"

"...okay." You conceded, caught in the storm of Suma's affection. Suma was peppering you with hug and kisses. Ever since you had entered the room, she hadn't let you go.

"(Y/N)! I don't mind if you decide to sleep somewhere else for one day, but at least tell us!!" Makio scolded you, her brows furrowed, lips forming a small pout. Her arms were crossed, and she tapped the floor with her foot. "Where were you?"

"...With Nezuko-Hmh!" Your attempt to explain was cut short when Suma hugged you tighter, her chest muffling your words.

"It's okay! Don't scold her! You're so rude!" Suma defended you against anything that might upset you.

"...SUMA, WHAT THE HELL?! STOP BEING DRAMATIC!!"

"DON'T YELL IN FRONT OF HER, INSENSITIVE FUCK!"

"I'M GONNA KILL YOU!"

"Well, it's at least good news that nothing bad happened to you..." Hinatsuru said in relief, her hand grabbing her chest as she finally relaxed. She had been very worried when you didn't come back to sleep with them last night. Though you were fine, she couldn't help but feel bothered by your behavior. Even Uzui seemed irritated.

"Don't ever do that unflashy thing again, okay?!" He exclaimed, furrowing his eyes and gritting his teeth.

"DON'T SCOLD HER, LORD TENGEN!" Suma once again jumped into the fray. "SHE'S SENSITIVE!"

"SUMA, SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Makio smacked the back of her head, making her whine in pain but still striving to fight back.

"JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE MY LOVELY WIFE, THAT DOESN'T MEAN I'LL GO EASY ON YOU!!" Suma let you go to avoid involving you, heading straight to kick Makio in the stomach.

Chaos quickly ensued as the two women practically fought each other. You felt slightly worried, moving over to Hinatsuru and touching her shoulder to grab her attention. "Um, should we be worried?"

"Not at all. Let them fight." Hinatsuru snickered at your cute concern, patting your head to comfort you. You were really adorable, and sometimes she just wanted to squeeze your cheeks and hug you as if you were a hamster.

"Besides, if they're fighting, that means they're regaining their energy! Those are good news, aren't they, princess?" Uzui commented, also patting your head gently, being careful not to undo your braids. "Also, cute hairstyle. Certainly flamboyant. You look prettier than usual."

"Oh. Thanks!" You smiled, feeling happy to be called pretty, especially by Uzui. Hinatsuru gasped, just noticing your new hairstyle as she was so preoccupied with your well-being. Just as she was about to compliment you, Shinobu's voice cut through her comment.

"Ladies," she began, referring to Makio and Suma. You all couldn't miss how noticeably angry Shinobu was, some veins popping on her face. "Are you both forgetting that we're in a hospital?"

"...!" Both of them gulped, realizing they might have made the frivolous mistake of making Shinobu mad.

"I would appreciate it very much if you'll calm down and stop fighting-"

"HELLO WITH A SPARKLE, READY TO TACKLE!" The room turned in unison at the arrival of a new, vibrant voice. A gasp escaped you, surprised to see these two individuals here. "HERE'S A VIBRANT 'HELLO' TO LIGHT UP YOUR DAY!!"

...

...

...

"Rengoku, Tomioka... what are you both doing here?" Shinobu deadpanned, already sensing that these two were about to cause nothing but trouble.

"UZUI, MY BOO BEAR!" Rengoku exclaimed with affection, completely ignoring her and making a beeline for his husband. "I MISSED YOU! I'M GLAD YOU'RE ALIVE AND HEALTHY!!"

"Love Nugget! Why did you take so long to visit me? I... I was starting to think you forgot about me-A-Ah!" Uzui moaned in surprise when Kyojuro grabbed his chin to make him look at him. After doing that, Kyojuro gently held Uzui's face, treating him like the most precious man in the world.

"Cuddle bunny, don't you even dare to finish that..." He caressed Uzui's cheek with his thumb, making his heart throb harder. "I could never forget about you, my Snickerdoodle Snuggles..."

"...Y-You really mean it, my Sugar Plum...?" Uzui stuttered.

"Of course, my Precious Puddlekins... I love you with all my heart." He smiled in delight, getting close to Uzui's face.

"My Tootsie Rollie Pollie..."

"My dear Rainbow Sparklepaws-"

"STOP FLIRTING WITH OUR HUSBAND!!" Suma launched herself at Rengoku, biting his head in the process and punching him as hard as she could. Of course, it wasn't nearly enough to hurt the flame Hashira, who was laughing in amusement.

"YEAH! HE DOESN'T BELONG TO YOU! GET LOST ALREADY!" Makio added, feeling angered since every time Uzui and Rengoku saw each other, the same thing would always happen, and it was starting to get on her nerves.

"Yes, I find it very rude of you to flirt with someone who's married," Hinatsuru chimed in with sass, joining the Anti-Rengoku squad. The atmosphere in the room had quickly shifted from a somewhat chaotic reunion to a full-blown battle against Rengoku's excessive affection.

While the others engaged in their conversations, you seized the opportunity to greet the Water Hashira. "Hi, Giyuu! Long time no see!" Your enthusiastic wave accompanied your words.

"Yeah... hello," he responded with his characteristic awkwardness.

"I'm genuinely happy to see you again! Thanks for passing by!" Your sincerity was evident, as Tomioka was one of your favorite characters, and meeting him always brought genuine joy.

"...Thanks," he replied with brevity, his usual style. You had grown accustomed to his succinct responses and didn't take it personally. What you didn't realize at all is that Tomioka was now feeling a bit giddy inside, he found himself feeling a bit uplifted inside. The simple expression of your happiness at seeing him had a subtle yet tangible effect on his mood, it made him feel a warmth he hadn't quite expected.

"You seem to be in a good mood," he remarked, noticing the extra brightness in your demeanor. Almost as if stars were twinkling around you, you appeared more lighthearted.

"Oh, really? Do I?" You couldn't help but let a smile escape. He nodded, prompting you to continue. "...Nah, the reason is silly."

He shook his head in disagreement. "No, nothing's too silly. You can tell me."

"Okay! Fine!" You conceded with a playful smile. "I just... I just feel pretty today with my two braids, so I'm quite happy about that." You chuckled to yourself before looking back at Tomioka. Furrowing your brows, you noticed his confused expression. Playfully, you punched his arm. "Jeez... Even if you disagree, you don't have to look at me like that!"

"...!" Panic flashed across his face at your words. "No, no, uh, it's not that... I promise." He attempted to clarify, sensing a misunderstanding.

"Then what is it?"

"It's just..." He paused for a moment, choosing his words carefully. "I always think you're pretty." He stated it matter-of-factly, as if it were an undeniable truth, genuinely puzzled.

...

Silence enveloped the moment, and you slowly blinked at him, processing his words. Tomioka, in turn, looked at you with a hint of confusion. You froze for a moment. It wasn't just the fact that he had called you pretty-it was also the way he said it, it was like an undeniable truth. The statement was delivered with an air of certainty, as if there was no room for doubt. Gazing at him once again, you couldn't help but blush even more, especially since he didn't sound like he was attempting to flirt. It was as if he was merely stating an honest observation, as if he was merely stating a fact.

"...ok." You didn't say more, sensing that your heart was on the verge of bursting out of your chest.

"Well, well," Shinobu clapped her hands, drawing everyone's attention. "You didn't answer me the first time, so I shall ask again. What are you two doing here?"

"OH! THAT'S QUITE AN EASY QUESTION!" Rengoku laughed heartily, puffing his chest and placing his hands on his hips. "I just wanted to check up on my dear loved ones! I didn't have the time to do so until now!"

"That's cute, but you're making so much noise. Tone it down." Shinobu smiled with a terrifying charm, but her request went over Rengoku's head. He seemed unperturbed, brushing it off with a laugh. However, a realization struck him, and he quickly turned his head to look at you. Before you knew it, you were being lifted off the floor.

"MY SUNSHINE!" He exclaimed with a bright grin, his eyes squinting from the sheer joy on his face. "How could I have neglected you all this time?!"

"Eh..." You murmured, feeling confused, not catching up with the situation until, "EHHH?!"

"Hahaha, you're beautiful!" He laughed, having quite literally teleported to your side, grabbing you by the thighs to carry you. To steady yourself, you instinctively wrapped your arms around his neck. You noticed how sturdy and gentle he was, ensuring you wouldn't get hurt. Your face turned red from the intimate position you two were in. "How could someone be this pretty? Unmistakably gorgeous!"

"I-I, er, t-thank you??" You replied, still bewildered, trying to wrap your head around the sudden turn of events. Rengoku chuckled again, gazing at you with awe, as if you were the most perfect person in the world. His lovesick eyes only made you feel more self-conscious.

"Haha, did you get prettier after the Hashira Meeting? You're more stunning than ever!" He exclaimed while giving your thighs a slight squeeze, causing you to squirm.

"Mhm?" Tomioka glanced at the person standing by his side, growing concerned. "...Koucho, are you okay...?"

"Oh, but of course! Why wouldn't I be, Tomioka?" She responded, clenching her fists with such force that Tomioka thought they might explode. Veins began to pop on her face and neck.

"I... I'm not sure," he answered, feeling somewhat intimidated by her. He turned his gaze to see that Uzui's wives were having the same reaction. Makio was biting her pillow with an angered expression, Suma was biting her lips so hard that Tomioka thought they might bleed, and Hinatsuru seemed to have the most deadly expression he had ever seen.

'Why are they so mad?' he wondered, confused by their odd behavior. It was evident they were simply jealous.

"Haha... ha." Uzui awkwardly laughed, sweat dropping at the situation. "Hey buddy, I, uh, I think it's best if you stop doing... THAT." He smiled in a strained manner, thinking that the end of the world was imminent if his dear friend didn't cease getting too close to you.

"What's wrong with my actions?" Rengoku genuinely asked, his eyes ablaze with passion. "I'm just appreciating the love of my life-the woman of my dreams." With a swift motion, he switched to carrying you with one arm, his free hand gently caressing your face and tucking some loose strands behind your ears. Lowering your figure slightly, he whispered into your ear, amusement evident as he watched your cheeks flush even deeper. "You certainly look so cute and precious with those braids, my dear."

"Rengoku-I'll give you three seconds to stop what you're doing," Suma threatened, her fists clenched and readiness evident.

However, despite the menacing threat, Rengoku seemed utterly unfazed, merely laughing it off. "So, where were we, (Y/N)...?" He spoke in a deliberate, slow, and somewhat seductive manner, drawing your faces impossibly close. His breath brushed against your skin, and you couldn't help but notice every intricate detail that composed his captivating face. You were about to respond when you suddenly felt yourself being dropped in the air.

Makio and Suma propelled themselves towards Rengoku, their movements a whirlwind of knives and punches. Caught off guard, you teetered on the brink of falling, but Hinatsuru swiftly intercepted you, sweeping you up into a bridal-style hold. You blinked in astonishment, finding yourself cradled by a vision of charm and strength.

"Are you okay, (Y/N)?" Hinatsuru inquired with a captivating smile. In that moment, she exuded a regal aura, resembling a prince or a knight in shining armor. It was undeniably alluring. As you attempted to peer behind her to gauge the situation, she gently grasped your chin, redirecting your gaze with closed eyes and a serene smile. "It's alright. You don't have to look."

"Oh, uh, okay." You acquiesced, attempting to ignore the commotion behind her. "Thank you so much for catching me!"

"W-Wait! Suma, Makio!! Don't kill him!" Uzui interjected, concern etching his features as Rengoku laughed heartily, seemingly unperturbed by the chaos.

"..." Tomioka stood in perplexity, uncertain of how to contribute to the unfolding situation.

"(Y/N), are you fine? I'm sorry for all the mess we're causing..." Hinatsuru expressed remorse, sympathizing with the tumultuous scene you found yourself in.

"I'm fine!!" You beamed, a cascade of imaginary flowers dancing around you. "I'm so happy to see everyone so energetic!!"

"That's good to hear-" Before Hinatsuru could finish her sentence, Shinobu abruptly seized you, releasing you from Hinatsuru's embrace. Holding your hand, Shinobu guided you towards the door.

"Hun, you should take a bath," she suggested with a strained smile. "You're very dirty right now."

...

"...WHAT?" Thunderbolts and lightning struck you at her words, feeling a sudden flush of embarrassment that THE Koucho Shinobu had just issued a directive for you to take a bath. Did you really smell that bad? Was your stench overpowering?

"Yes, yes, go now." She ushered you out of the room, leaving you alone in the hallway. Unbeknownst to you, Shinobu's real motivation was her irritation at Rengoku touching you (and Hinatsuru), prompting her to initiate a tactful retreat. Misunderstanding her intent, you still decided to follow her suggestion and headed off to take a bath.

'...Am I stinky (🙁)?' you pondered, a touch of self-consciousness creeping in as you immersed yourself in the soothing waters.

---------------------------

After luxuriating in a refreshing bath, you emerged feeling revitalized and rejuvenated. The clean, fresh sensation was invigorating, but there was a touch of sadness as you had to undo your meticulously braided hair. Dressed in a towel draped over your shoulders, you ventured back to your room, contemplating whether Giyuu and Kyojuro had already left. As you slid the door open, it became apparent that they were still present, seated in chairs near the beds. Uzui and his wives occupied the beds, with Shinobu standing close by.

Noticing your return, Shinobu offered a smile that seemed to mask an undercurrent of annoyance. "Oh! Hello, (Y/N)! Glad you're back!"

You gulped, unsure if there was an underlying issue. "Uhhh, hi? Is there something wrong here?"

"Oh. Hahaha. It's nothing," she replied, though the dismissive tone suggested otherwise. "We're just having a little chat."

"Cool! What are you guys talking about?" You inquired, cautiously approaching. However, Suma seized the opportunity, grabbing your hand and pulling you onto the bed with them, eliciting a yelp from you. She then clasped your cheeks firmly, demanding your attention.

"(Y/N)! I have a very important question to ask!" she exclaimed with intensity.

"Okay?!" You responded nervously, uncertain about the gravity of her question. Why was she so agitated?

"(Y/N), by any chance-do you have a home? Like a house?"

...

'...what?' You sweat-dropped, sensing your hands trembling slightly. Why was Suma asking this? Did they intend to evict you from the mansion? "Um, w-why are you asking?"

"JUST ANSWER!" she yelled, gripping you even harder.

...Shit. Panic set in. What should you say? You never had a backstory for this world! When you first encountered Tanjiro, the language barrier hindered any explanation, and he eventually forgot about it. You'd mentioned your mother to some people, but that was the extent of your fabricated history. Why was Suma asking about this now? Should you invent something? The implausibility of a foreigner with no knowledge of Japanese ending up in Japan and the mountains went unnoticed, but this direct inquiry put you on the spot. Should you concoct a story? The dilemma loomed before you.

Inventing some anime shit was the best option.

"S-So, I used to live with my mom, but then she died, a-and I got to live on my own. Then some kidnappers kidnapped and beat me up until I lost consciousness, and I think they forced me to get into a bag, and everything was so dark. Suddenly, I was here in Japan, and I managed to escape, and t-that's when I met Tanjiro."

...

"So," Makio clapped her hands. "Basically, you don't have a home, right?"

"...u-hu, I don't have a home."

"YES! LET'S GO!" Makio cheered as she hugged Suma, who was also celebrating. You felt a big question mark appearing on top of your head.

"Uhhhhhhh, what?"

"This is perfect!" Makio smiled, putting a reassuring hand on your shoulder. "From now on, you are going to live with us!!" She exclaimed, Suma nodding excitedly.

...

...

..

"EHHHHHHHH?!" You choked on your saliva. What the hell were you hearing? Are you imagining things? Chat, is this real?

"That's right!" Suma giggled, feeling happier than ever. "Gosh, I'm so excited! We can sleep together, wake up together, cook together, bath together-the list goes on!" She kicked her feet in the air rapidly and then jumped to hug you, stimming in excitement.

"You don't have a home, so it's really no problem if you come to live with us!" Hinatsuru explained delighted, really liking the idea.

"The five of us can live together! Hahaha!" Makio began dancing in happiness, imagining the five of you living in the same house. It seemed so lively, awesome, and perfect! She loved it!

Even Uzui seemed more chipper and thrilled. "You won't have to worry about anything ever again, pretty girl! Since we'll take care of you."

"W-Wait!! What's going on?!" You were not catching what they were saying! Living together! Where did that come from? It's not like you hate the idea, but this is too much for your heart to handle!

"You..." Suma started, giving you the puppy eyes and her tone and expression looking really sad. "You don't want to live with us...?"

"It's not that-"

"Oh, We're so sorry... We made plans too fast and didn't even consult you..." Hinatsuru gazed down in embarrassment, feeling ashamed of herself.

"You don't like it...?" Makio pouted, tears forming in her eyes.

"Oh... It's okay if you don't want to, I guess..." Uzui looked at his side in disappointment, not meeting your gaze.

"Wait! Hold up!" You exclaimed, exalted, not wanting them to misunderstand what you were thinking. "I never said that I didn't want to! It's just too sudden!!"

...

"So you're not opposed to the proposal?" Suma chirped, her eyes glimmering with hope.

You gazed down, feeling very embarrassed but responding nonetheless. "... I'm not opposed-"

"YIPEEEEEEEEEE! YAY! SHE AGREED!!!!" Suma jumped in happiness, hugging Makio, Hinatsuru, and Uzui. All of them cheered together, pumping their fists in a triumphantly way. Uzui even began to give you thrilling headpats.

"HOLD UP EVERYBODY!" Rengoku said, stopping the celebration. "(Y/N)! You should not let yourself be fooled by them!! You have to do what you really want! Listen to your heart!"

"...yeah?"

"YOU SHOULD LIVE WITH ME INSTEAD!" He said, arms crossed, and a big silly grin visible on his lips. "IT'S A WONDERFUL PLACE! MY STATE IT'S NEAR THE BEACH!"

"DO YOU RESIDE NEAR THE SHORE?!" You inquired with evident excitement, the prospect of being close to the beach stirring a sense of anticipation within you. Since your unexpected teleportation to this place, the beach had become an elusive haven, and Rengoku's mention of it was undeniably captivating.

"ABSOLUTELY! WE COULD ENJOY SWIMMING, PLAY IN THE SAND, BUILD MAJESTIC SAND CASTLES, COLLECT CORALS, AND WITNESS BREATHTAKING SUNSETS!" Rengoku enthusiastically proposed, painting vivid images of beach escapades. His infectious enthusiasm was successfully grabbing your attention.

"SAND?! THAT SOUNDS AMAZING!" Although sand might not inherently be fascinating, the mere mention of the beach had sparked genuine excitement within you. Rengoku's charm had effectively piqued your interest.

"Oh no! Lord Tengen!! She's slipping away!" Makio exclaimed, observing how Midgoku was skillfully luring you towards his preferred choice.

"WE NEED TO ACT FAST!" Suma voiced concern, fearing that you might lose interest in residing with them.

"(Y/N)!!" Hinatsuru anxiously interjected, attempting to redirect your attention. "A beach does sound appealing, but we have a stunning river! Picture bathing together and camping in its pristine surroundings!"

"Camping..." You mused, envisioning a camping adventure with Uzui and his wives. The idea resonated with your desire for such an experience, creating a newfound allure to their proposal.

Seizing the opportunity, Uzui smirked, aiming to strengthen their appeal. "Our river is teeming with vibrant fishes-"

"FISHES? OH MY GOD! HOW ADORABLE!!!" Your eyes lit up with excitement, reminiscing about Fugu, Chuck Megatron Taylor West 5000, Chou and your fascination with fishes. The prospect of swimming alongside these charming aquatic creatures turned into an irresistible dream. Unbeknownst to you, Uzui exchanged a triumphant high five with his wives, while Rengoku's eyes betrayed a hint of annoyance at the turn of events.

"(Y/N)," your daydreaming came to a halt as Tomioka called out your name. Turning around, you found him standing there, wearing a troubled expression. You maintained silence, anticipating what he had to say. It seemed like he was grappling with his words, yet he pushed through. "I... I have a... I have a dog."

...

The revelation hung in the air, creating a moment of bewilderment. Tomioka, known for his stoic demeanor, admitting to having a dog was unexpected. Murmurs of confusion circled among those present, as everyone pondered, 'A dog? Doesn't he hate animals in general...?'

"... There's a dog that I met on a mission, and she hasn't stopped following me since then. She's like the guardian of my state. There's also a cat, I think?" Tomioka tried to recall the details, his expression reflecting the unusual circumstances. However, this revelation sparked genuine excitement within you.

"A CAT? A DOG?? COUNT ME IN!!!!" You exclaimed, your enthusiasm contrasting with the more reserved reactions of the others. While Tomioka may not have been actively seeking a companion, the collective effort to convince you to live with them seemed to include him as well.

"That's stupid! Everyone can have a dog and a cat! We live near a town with lots of attractions! It has bars!" Uzui attempted to sway you, unwilling to give up on his pitch.

"THAT'S NOTHING!" Rengoku interjected, determined not to be overshadowed. "I HAVE A BEACH (😎)!"

"Dumbass! You already said that!" Makio retorted, crossing her arms, while Suma playfully stuck her tongue out at him.

"AND?! THE BEACH IS PERFECTION! LIFE'S A BEACH, ENJOY THE WAVES! SAND IN MY TOES, BREEZE IN MY SOUL! SHELL YEAH!"

"You and your damn mottos! I'm going to punch you!!" Suma exclaimed, ready to confront Rengoku, but Uzui intervened, preventing any physical altercation. The competition for your company intensified as each member tried to showcase the unique appeal of their living situation.

"You're all imbeciles," Shinobu, who had remained quiet until now, finally spoke up. "(Y/N) already belongs to this mansion. She's been living here for quite some time now. She doesn't need to go live in another place-"

"Mimimimimi," Uzui mocked with a dismissive wave of his hand. "Such a yapper!"

Shinobu's smile remained unbroken, but veins popped on her face in irritation. "Quite the mouth you have there. Are those unflashy comments of yours trying to compensate for something else, Uzui?"

"What the hell do you mean by that?" Uzui retorted, visibly bothered.

"Mimimimimi," Shinobu echoed Uzui's earlier mocking gesture.

Uzui fell silent, veins popping on his face. "You talk a lot for someone so short."

"You talk a lot but say nothing of significance. Truly, what a pity," Shinobu laughed, covering her mouth with grace.

"This hoe!" Uzui exclaimed in frustration.

"MY DEAR! YOU COULD COME LIVE WITH ME! WHAT DO YOU THINK?!" Rengoku interjected, enthusiastically holding your hands.

"DROP DEAD! LIKE SHE WOULD!!" Makio slapped Rengoku's hands away from yours.

"SHE TOTALLY SHOULD COME LIVE WITH US!" Suma protested, adamant for a different outcome.

"She would be very happy!" Hinatsuru added with crossed arms.

"...She should come live with me," Tomioka quietly expressed, contributing to the chaos.

"She's staying here, and that's it," Shinobu declared, putting an end to the ongoing discussion.

"Why are we discussing so much?!" Uzui exclaimed. "She's here right in front of us! Let's just ask her!" The attention shifted towards you as everyone eagerly awaited your response. However, what they didn't expect was to see you smiling with a big, silly grin on your face. "...Huh? What are you so smiley about, angel?"

Your giggles accompanied the placement of your hands on your cheeks. "...hehe, it's nothing... I'm just very happy. I'm having such a good time with all of you, and I don't know, I feel very warm, giddy, and fuzzy right now." Since their arrival, chaos had returned to your life, and you were thoroughly enjoying it.

...

Unbeknownst to you, your words had warmed everyone's hearts. To preserve the moment, they silently agreed to leave the discussion for another day, since your happiness was better than anything else in the world.

---------------------------

Hiii, finally updated! We're reaching the end of this arc. Ahhhh I'm so excited. This chapter is more silly since I actually like writing silly chapters and interactions. Before ending I want to ask something very important and pleaseee answer it.

Do u think the characters in Kanjō are very oc or actually resemble accordingly to canon?

---------------------------
(It has been a while since I've done this bit!!)
Taisho Secrets~

- Rengoku was banned by Shinobu from visiting your room from the time being (this is the second time he has been banned).

- Tomioka genuinely thinks that you're very pretty (even the most attractive girl he's ever seen, though, he doesn't realize this).

- Chuck Megatron Taylor West 5000 despises you, Chou doesn't really care about you and Fugu likes your fingers (wants to eat them).

- I eliminated a scene because of my laziness. After Shinobu kicked you out of the room, you where supposed to encounter Kanao and propose her to take a bath together. You invited Aoi, Sumi, Kiyo and Naho as well.

Xoxo, azamishomie.
