The Duality Hashira MHA x KNY

Chapter 6: The Uzui Family

"Suma! You're gonna scare him!" Hinatsuru scolded.

"But he's so cute!" Suma said, trying to defend herself. "Tengen! Can we keep him?"

"We can't keep children you idiot!" Makio shouted out, marching over to the two of them. "He's supposed to be here for training! Not to be our kid!"

Shoto was just confused, he had no clue why they were acting like they were all going to adopt him. He turned over to Tengen to ask the question that's been in his head the entire time. "Uzui-"

"Just call me Tengen here Shoto, feels weird to be addressed formally in my own house," Tengen said, interrupting Shoto.

"Okay, Tengen, who are these women?" Shoto asked.

"Oh, these three are my beautiful wives," Tengen said, nonchalantly.

Shoto's eyes widened, it was rare to find anyone practicing polygyny back in his world, but then again he wasn't in his world anymore. "Oh, okay."

"I guess it's not exactly traditional to find people practicing polygyny, but I didn't think it was that rare," Hinatsuru noted.

"I'm not from this... world, so polygyny is rare where I'm from," Shoto told her.

"Oh, I see," Hinatsuru said.

"All the more reason to not keep him Suma!" Makio said, trying to pry Suma's arms off of Shoto.

"Awwww! Come one! He doesn't have to go back!" Suma shouted out, still trying to hold onto Shoto.

"Could you... not... squeeze me... so tight..." Shoto said in a strained voice, trying to convince Suma to let go of him.

"Let go of him Suma!" Hinatsuru said, then walking up behind her and chopping her neck, which made her let go of Shoto.

"Thank you, but is she okay?" Shoto asked, looking down at Suma.

"Don't worry about her, let's just get to training and see what you got," Makio told him, walking over to Tengen.

"I agree, let's get to training, which is what you're here for," Tengen agreed, turning around and walking into the estate.

"Go on Shoto, I'll worry about Suma over here," Hinatsuru said.

Shoto nodded and walked into the estate, following Tengen and Makio. The whole place was set up like the Butterfly mansion, very traditional yet quite impressive, though it wasn't as big.

"You wondering why this place isn't as big of a place as the Butterfly Mansion right?" Tengen asked him.

Shoto was caught off guard by the question, not expecting him to notice. "Yeah, I was wondering why it wasn't as big, after all, your wives also stay here right?"

"That's true, though it's just me and my wives here, while at the Butterfly Estate, a bunch of people like the three little girls, Aoi, Shinobu, and her younger sister I think her name was Kanao live there. That place is also the infirmary for the Demon Slayer Corps, which of course needs a lot of space for that so it can house a lot of people at once," Tengen told him.

"I see," is all that Shoto said while looking around the place.

"Anyways, what's your breathing technique kid? Gotta be cool for Tengen and Rengoku to go through all this and train you," Makio asked.

"I don't have one just yet," Shoto told her.

"Yeah, Rengoku said he wanted him to get his sword technique down first before he learned Flame Breathing," Tengen added.

"Huh?! What did you do to impress them without a breathing technique?" Makio asked, surprised at what Shoto and Tengen were saying.

"I told you I wasn't from this world didn't I?" Shoto asked.
