Omae Wa Mou Shindeiru [DISCONTINUED]

118: Back On Track

Before you can answer, the kakushi (who were, unfortunately, listening in to your weird conversation with Tanjiro) had stopped walking.

Carefully, the kakushi lowers you to the ground, making sure you're on stable feet before untying the blindfold.

"I'll take this off now," She says, already pulling off the fabric.

You're taken aback by the sight. You seriously underestimated how big the village was. It was very beautiful, and you felt a bit nostalgic from seeing the big buildings.

"WHOAAAAAAAHHH!! Those are amazing buildings!" Tanjiro gushes, suddenly right by your side, "And I know this smell! There's a hot spring nearby!"

"Yeah, there is one!" The female kakushi who carried Tanjiro nods, "You'll see a large house when you turn left there. Make sure to greet them first and foremost, you two."

"Okay!" Tanjiro grins.

"By the way," You speak up, "Where is Eno Miku staying?"

Eno Miku? Tanjiro doesn't know that name, but she shared the same name as Gerik, so maybe they were related in some way?

"Yes, we were told that you'd be visiting soon," The male kakushi- who was carrying you -nods, "After you two meet with the chief of the village, you will be taken to see her."

The kakushi bows slightly, "We'll be taking my leave now."

"Thank you-"

"-Thank you so much!"

Tanjiro is so precious.

——

"Hey, (Y/n)... Who is Eno Miku?" Tanjiro asks.

"She is Gerik's wife... well, was..." You clear your throat, "But uh, anywho!"

You grab Tanjiro's left hand and pull his sleeve back.

You gasp dramatically and hug his hand up your chest, "You still wear the bracelet I gave you??"

Tanjiro's cheeks flare up as a chuckle weakly escapes him, "Of course, (Y/n)! It's very precious to me because it's from you!"

"Tanjiro, you're so precious!"

"Oh! I-I think you are precious, too!"

AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!! HE'S SUCH A HIMBO!!! YOU LOVE HIM!!!!

You lower Tanjiro's hand to swing your joined hands between you two;

"So... what's a motorcycle?"

Literally a dumbass; you love him.

"Hello there. I am the chief of this village, Tecchiawahara Tecchin," The old man with the clown mask greets, "Very nice to meet you."

He's so small. He's so tiny.

"I may be the smallest in this village, but I am also the best at my craft. Now bow your head so low it touches the mat."

Rude slut.

"Kamado Tanjiro!" Tanjiro slams his forehead on the floor, "Very honored to meet you!"

You refrain from rolling your eyes and bow down, you don't slam your head down, but it still touches the mat.

"(L/n) (Y/n)," You introduce quieter, "It's a pleasure to meet you."
