Chapter 17

I couldn't help but chuckle at this, finding it quite amusing.

"And you! Is this funny to you, arrowhead? You even passed on a perfectly fine bowl of udon!"

"Ah... Forgive me sir, may I have one too?"
I shyly ask, holding back from giving him an earful about what he called me.

"Alright! What about her? If she's eating udon, she better take off that bamboo thingy! What the hell is it anyway?!"

Nezuko grumbled as the man kept on yelling, Tanjiro grabbing his arm, determined.

"I'd like a bowl of udon. In fact, I'd like two, please!"

We both received our udon, Tanjiro eating both bowls faster than it took me to even eat half of mine!

"Good heavens, you have one hell of an appetite, Tanjiro!"
He practically just swallowed the whole thing in the blink of an eye!

"Thanks for the great meal!"

Even the poor shopkeeper was amazed, and I finish my udon not long after, paying for the food.
"Thank you, too! It was really good!"

"Uh... I'm glad you liked it! Come back anytime!"

We grabbed Nezuko and started walking away, and I tapped Tanjiro's arm.

He looked at me.
"Is something wrong?"

"Do my tattoos look funny to you? That guy called me arrowhead earlier..."

"Well, they are pretty noticeable..."
He chuckled.

I stare at him, completely unamused, to which he promptly apologizes.

"N-Not that it's a bad thing! You said they're very important to your culture so I really respect them! It's just that most people don't really see many airbenders and stuff like that!"

I pout for a moment, but chuckle at his cute embarrassment.
The two of us halt when Nezuko grabs us back, glaring at the demon in front of her.

He actually seemed rather annoyed by our presence, but we recognized him from earlier.

"Are you here waiting for us?"
Tanjiro asked, curious.

"I'm here on her orders. I'm supposed to bring you back with me."
Man, even his tone was annoyed.

"I could've just tracked your scent."

"Our hiding place is protected by a concealment spell. You'd never have found it."

He then points to Nezuko.
"Before we go, do you know that girl's a demon? And not much to look at, either."

Tanjiro blew up at him, yelling in his face.
"You gotta be out of your mind! Who would look at Nezuko and think she's ugly?! She was the pride and joy of our hometown! Our Nezuko!"

"Tanjiro, please stop yelling, I think the other half of the world can hear you..."

He then turns to me.
"Do you think Nezuko's an eyesore?!"
