I want to say something but I'm worried that what I'm going to say will be trivial It seems like Tomioka is not a normal person. How can I talk to someone better than me? That's your problem Shizuka! You are such a stupid person Everyone talks and makes mistakes and laughs I always worry about what I'm going to say.
- where are we going ?
"You'll see when we get there"
I wish you were silent, no, no
- When will we get to this place ?
"almost"
I said when!
We reached the place after the sun was rising, it is very far from my home.
We walked a bit until we came to a Japanese house
"This is my house, come here as soon as you wake up to train here"
then he showed me the way to the Butterfly Palace to go there, and then he walked to enter his house.
- Oyasumi (Good night), thanks for helping me
I went to this place which he explained to me.
There it is Shinobu san waving her hand to me ( ˶ •ᴗ• ˶ ) and around her three little girls,
Shinobu told me that I would be one of their sisters so they are butterfly.. sisters ?
"Little Shizuka Welcome, how do you feel about our house? ^ᴗ^ From today you will be one of us !"
- It seems so big, an honor for me to be with you!
"I'll let you with the girls and they will show you the house, okay?"
- Okay, good night
"You are our new sister. We know from Shinobu san that your name is Shizuka. What a beautiful name"
One of the girls said
"It suits you"
said the other
"You have blue eyes will fit on a blue hairpin. I'll bring it and come!"
hairpin?
"Well, we will introduce you to the place. Come on"
The two girls grabbed my hands and pulled me to show me the house
- Waaah, all these rooms
"Yes, we receive patients here to treat them"
"This is the kitchen"
"Didn't I tell you that- oh you are the new girl, welcome, my name is aoi"
- Shizuka
"Right, we forgot to introduce ourselves, I'm Sumi"
"and I'm kiyo, the girl who went is called Naho"
- You are all beautiful
Aoi is a serious girl who looks responsible
"Our sister Aoi is also responsible for the kitchen and laundry, and of course we help her"
The girls took me and we went upstairs.
"This is our sister Kanao's room. I don't know if she is sleeping"
Sumi knocked on the door
"huh"
"Kanao-chan these our new sister, Shizuka. We wanted to introduce her to you"
"Hi, welcome here"
Her voice is very quiet, I extended my hand to shake her hand and smiled at her without saying anything.
"Come on, we'll take you to your room. Looks like you've had a long day"
- It's the longest day of my life
"Clear on your features" said the other girl
There was a bit of silence until kiyo said
"We was have an older sister named Kanae"
- was ?
Then a look of sadness appeared on their faces
"Yes, she is Shinobu san's older sister, until she was passed out on one of her missions. She was the most beautiful and kindest sister to us"
- I wish she was alive, looks like you are-
Until Naho interrupted us when she was coming.
"oi (hay) I brought your hairpin, Shizuka chan. put it on in the morning when you get ready"
- Thank you it's so beautiful butterfly pin and thank you too
"here we come to your room"
- It's beautiful, sweet dreams of you
"see you tomorrow"
The girls went and finally this day was almost over. The room was spacious and had a window and a wardrobe as well, and of course a bed to sleep on. I put arrows and the bow in the corner of the room and took off my clothes to put on sleeping kimono to jump on the bed and rest my back on it. All this talk with the sisters here made me forget my family. I thought about them until Exhaustion overwhelmed meand me. shutdown my eyes slowly to fell asleep.
_________☁ The night of the day when Shinobu and Tomioka met Shizuka ☁_________
pov: Shinobu
- sama (Mr) I have news today
Kagaya nodded his head down to say what she had
- Today we met a girl alone at the site of the place where the demon was today. She was using a bow and arrow and it seemed that she was talented. She had problems and she said by herself that she wanted to be one of us.
I was silent for a bit and continued
- I felt at first that she would be really talented with a sword. No one uses a bow this well, as it hit the eye of a demon from afar.
"Many things happen by luck, Kocho"
Tomioka replied
- But it gaves you a chance to cut his throat
"It's a sign. You felt at first she would be good at using sword, and then she said she wanted to be with you, if she understood what means to be a demon slayer" kagaya sama said
"I don't think she even realizes that we are Hashira we defeated the demon quickly and we were two, so she understood that this work was easy" tomioka said
"so we will gave her a time out. She chose to be a swordsman. She will definitely do what she has. If she shows her ability to use the sword, we will leave her. If she does not makes progress, we will let her go to her family. It's better for her,
Does anyone have another opinion"
- That's the best opinion, sama. I'll be responsible for her and make her one of our sisters too, Tomioka will be her sensei.
"Good, have a conscience, Giyuu"
"Originally, I do not agree, but every person deserves his chance, but her chance would have been better if someone other than me was responsible for it"
"Her chance depends on what she will do. your responsibility to train her and you will see that you are the best person to be responsible"
Then they both went out to go home
And they talk on their way
- Ha.ha. did you see what kagaya sama said Tomioka san
"I heard it, I didn't see"
- Don't be so literal you know...This girl really looks like you and you will see that you will fit into training with her very much I am sure
"We'll see if she doesn't change her mind and not come tomorrow"
- We'll see goodnight
_________☁ ☀️ ☁ ________
"Shizuka chan. Shizuka chan" said it all three girls at once
- What is? what?
"It's your first day. Wake up. We've left you for so long, Your sensei won't be happy about this"
- Alright *breath in then out* precedes me down and I'm coming straight away
"Well, don't deceive us"
I got out of the bed, i slept deeply. I don't know how, but it's possible of walking and the events of yesterday. No, this has become from the past and I will focus on the present time.
I put on my hakama over the kimono.
I combed my hair, I liked to leave it straight, and I wore the pin that I took yesterday. look to myself in the mirror Look at me, so cute, isn't she?
No, it's no time. what i do
I went downstairs to eat breakfast and go to Tomioka sensei's house
- Ohayō (Good morning)•ᴗ•
No one is in the kitchen. I will make anything by myself. I found this rice this will be sufficient
I finished. Let's get practice I'm so excited.
I found Tomioka sitting outside his house and I waved my hand up at him and smiled broadly
"You are late"
- I'm sorry, the important thing is that I'm ready, the girls let me sleep a lot
"You have to wake yourself up, you're not young"
- Well, next time, I promise
Tomioka Sensei gave me a wooden sword to train me on and showed me how to properly wave like a sword and the position to hold it, and I had to also that must i have a ready posture to fight the demon.
I repeatedly made a mistakes, but then I realized with repetition. there was a tree as well. I waved and hitting hard in order to get all my strength out of it. My eyebrows wrinkled, and serious features appeared on my face.
Tomioka was watching me from afar, drinking his tea.
Even I really took out what I had. There were some scratches on the tree that were prominent. I felt strong, even if this was a simple thing.
Then I went for set on the ground in front of him after my arms were exhausted and he was sitting on the wooden floor out the house.
- Who are the demon slayers? I want to understand more.
"The Demon Slayer Corps has over hundreds of members. It is an organization that is not recognized by the government. However, it has still existed since ancient times to hunt down demons until now"
- From ancient times! All of this is where the demons came from in the first place?
"No one knows when or where demons appeared, and no book mentions them. Their main food is humans, and they feed on them. They have physical dexterity, and their wounds heal in the blink of the eye"
- heales?!
"And their limbs even after they have been cut off, They can only be killed by sunlight or be headed with a special sword"
- All this on the corps, although they use their mortal bodies, whose wounds are slow to heal, which are not compared to the demons, yet they fight
"As I told you, this is to protect other human beings. It is a work that if we did not exist, Japan would have become extinct. There is someone who entered in retaliation for his family, and who entered because he did not find anythig to do, and who entered because the ancestors of his family were swordsman. There are many reasons that you can hear from others after which it's trivial or other believed"
- Do you think my reason is trivial?
I want to join the corps to escape from family traditions, but not only for our family I want to run away from my marriage
Tomioka been silent for a moment
"It's a normal reason any teenager would think of it just like you
Not that trivial.
I'm going now, I have a mission to finish"
Tomioka said, while putting his hands on his knees to get up
- Huh, just like that, I wouldn't train for something else?
"You trained for two hours, and that's good, it's still the beginning. I'll be free for you tomorrow. The training will be better"
- I wish you the success
Then I continued on my way to the Butterfly Palace, and I took the wooden sword with me to practice in my spare time. I also remember Tomioka telling me that I have to control my breathing, I think I tried to do that, but I don't know if it's correct.
- aoi chan didn't see you this morning
"I've been busy. I need your help to carrying these laundry baskets"
- Just
"Yes, just"
I went to get it. It was three baskets. I came to pick up one, only to be surprised that it was very heavy and I couldn't even carry it
- What did you put in it rocks!
"something like that, I could have put them in several baskets to be lighter, but I want to challenge you, beginner, to carry them on your shoulder"
On my shoulder! I looked at a basket and picked it up a little bit off the ground and put it on my shoulder already I trained for about two hours and exhausted my arms to also carry baskets of laundry.
"Well done, come on, stay a little bit, the distance isn't far"
aoi said as she put her hands over her mouth to raise her voice
After I reached the ropes, I quickly let go to catch my breath.
Likewise with the second but I couldn't on the third already tired.
- aoi No, please help me, I can't this time
I said to her in a tired voice and raised my eyebrows to show myself poor
"It's okay, let's carry it together"
we carried it and put it.
"If you were hungry, i made Tempura. I put a plate for you and next to it some flavored salt to dip in"
- Thanks. What about green tea? I always like to have it after lunch
"This is basic, don't worry"
- Well, thank you very much for your trouble
_________☁ 🌄 ☁ ________
I ate my lunch that aoi made, it seems that she made a quantity for others, and I drank my tea and went up to my room.
This day also ended and I spent it on what benefits me, eager to know what my training will be tomorrow.
_________☁ ☀️ ☁ ________
"Good morning, we didn't expect to find you up early. I didn't find you in your room" sumi said
- Yes, the sensi scolded me for this
I will be responsible for myself, as he said
"You obey orders"
- Yes I always like to follow the rules. Enough for now, I'm going to practice. Do you want something?
"No thanks, good luck"
My arm hurting me when i get up today, of course from yesterday's training I went to my sensei's house like yesterday and I wasn't late.
- Good morning
"Kenta good morning"
- I am very ready for today!
"Today our destination will be to this mountain, we will climb it, and when we arrive, you will see what you will do"
Isn't it a little far away? I put my hand over my forehead to see the place.
"Leave the wooden sword here, we won't need it today"
- hai (yes)
We walked quickly to the location of the place. Tomioka sensei was really fast. I didn't even hear his footsteps, He was ahead of me.
After we arrived, it was cloudy And it was snowing lightly, after which we started to climb, the air was less, when we climp more distance to the top, near the top of the mountain, my legs were exhausted.
"It is now your turn come down from here on this side and I will wait for you at home mata ashita (see you later)"
After he said see you, he disappeared. The important thing now is that I do what he said. There were cliffs and trees on my way down.
Downward my way i walked a short distance and slowly, while expecting that this place isn't normal after that to stumble on a rope was in front of me
__☁ rope sound ☁ __
large felled tree tied with a rope and hung upwards. I ran fast before it hit me. Then I complete my way i staped on something
__☁ arrows sound ☁ __
To find arrows appearing in front of me quickly, I turned back.
Now I expected that this place is full of traps, I started walking, but the walking turned into running as fast as I could and avoiding all it. I jumped and crouched and turned right and left. leaves scattered around me from my speed.
I pressed something, bend down!
to appear at the same time arrows
- Ghg
a tree hit me to lift me up and fall on my back catch my breath I can't! air is small and I feel suffocated. Breathing control! Right, I'm going to slow down my breathing, I pressed on a rope, I avoided the tree, but I walked in the wrong place, and arrows appeared, I ran just to avoid it all i wasn't ready for them because of the tree. except for an arrow that scratched my left arm and my kimono that's hurt but I focused on the way.
The air started to increase and I was able to focus better than before. a rope, jump!. I saw a knife hanging by rope front of me. I will definitely need it as long as it's there. i jumped to take it.
A new trap, ropes hidden under tree leaves, to tie the rope my feet and lift me up, but the distance isn't very high. I used the knife to cut the rope and then fall on my feet. I repeated this every time. If the rope tied me, it was easy to avoid, but the other traps hindered that.
__☁ The sound of footsteps on a wooden floor ☁ __
Tomioka walks over and places the lunch plates on the short table.
The time of the appearance of the night after sunset.
The house is illuminated with a warm yellow light.
*Opening the Fasuma front doors*
- I got over it
Then I fell on my head, my hair is crimped and covered with leaves, and my face full of scratches.
"Well done, I made for us some food you're going to like it. Get up"
Finally, the food is delicious and the house is warm, I loved the atmosphere.
After we finished eating, Tomioka poured himself green tea, which I liked, and he put the jug in front of him.
extended my hand to get some~♪
Tomioka slapped my hand that I extended. Aw!
"effrontery! don't steal ask for it politely"
Steal?.. I put my hand down and asked
- please?
"no"
- Come on, I love it, I just want a little bit, please? (˘･_･˘)
"*Hf*" He took the jug and finally poured some for me.
After that, silence came, after which we did not speak much at all until I spoke
- Look at this wound in my arm, it reminds me of the arrow I shot at you, ha-ha (• ▽ •;)
He look at me with his cold eyes, I wanted to disappear, I wish I had never spoken
- I apologize!, I'm just joking, I'm not one of the people who talk a lot, so if I want to say something, I feel it going to be stupid, and really what I say is stupid, and if I speak I speak in enthusiasm, I don't know the reason
"don't joke about something that might upset someone, I'm not upset, but you joke about something that hurt someone.
Secondly, talk doesn't matter, it's not explain your personality, your actions and responds are the ones that explain it, You speak with enthusiasm because you miss talking"
- Right, you are right
He explained my life solutions in five seconds
- I don't want to bother you. I'll go now to rest. My muscles hurt
"Have a good night"
The next morning passed and I went to the mountain, but this time the sensei made me hold the wooden sword in my hand. The problem here is that it hindered my movement,
After I got used to avoiding traps
The next day come, and that day I held a real sword. I felt like a real swordsman. Before I even took the admission test for the Demon Slayer Corps, which Tomioka told me I had to pass to join, After I learn water breathing, I waved the sword several times and I applied the ready position, and he said that I had to tighten my abs when I got ready.
- 463 464 465 ...
"You have five hundred thirty five left"
then he lay In front of him a bunch of broad bamboo sticking together,
He showed me how to use the sword
"The direction of the blade and the force direction must applied in the same direction, to apply the force directly along the length of the blade"
he said as he cut the bamboo in front of me in italics.
The next day he taught me the ten water breathing techniques and said they became eleven after he had mastered a new technique called Dead calm
"Remember to take deep breath so oxygen can flow into every cell of your body. This will enhance your body's natural healing ability"
"Relax your upper body as your lower body prepares to move"
The next day, I took the real sword with me to the mountain But this time i tied it behind my back like I used to do with arrows, it made me more comfortable, cutting ropes while jumping up the tree
the same with arrows, blocking them with the sword while swinging it randomly.
As the traps became more and more difficult with the passage of days, I sat to go up and down the mountain and use the sword.
__☁ After 4 months ☁ __
"Shizuka chan We didn't expect to find you today with us. We're excited about to practice you" the thre girls said
- Yes, I knew that you work on the flexibility of the body and fightes
"Aha, but it's simple It's not that hard The other exercises. lay on this futon"
(The mattress on which the Japanese sleep)
I lay on it and the three girls started pulling my limbs in different ways. I saw them amazement
- is there a problem ?
"No, but..a"
"There is! how you can never feel a thing" kiyo said while she cut naho
- I just feel a tickle
"You have good body flexibility, you don't need training"
- realy ?
"Can you open your feet straight on the ground?" Sumi said with excited
- sure i did this many times when I was young *hmf* what do you think?
"That's amazing! Nobody can do that"
__☁ time skip ☁ __
*Temporary ticking sound*
I pull my head out of a wooden basin and the water splashes around me and I take a deep breath after holding it under the water.
"amazing! You held your breath for two minutes in a row"
- I see this is progress
*Hmf* *hmf* *hmf* I spent my time running after that i trying to make my step sound slight and be fast I tried to hold my legs close together. when I ran and I really felt the speed I tried to make use of the whole day in, sword waving and physical exercises as well.
_________☁ ☀️ ☁ ________
- Ohayō Tomioka sensei I'm going up the mountain today too, right?
"No, you won't go up today"
- So what we will ?
"I will fight you without using the sword"
He said while taking off the haori he was wearing over his Featured demon slayer outfit.
Waaahaa, no!, I will fight my sensei, he is more than 170 cm tall!, and no one can even see me of my height. I will return to my family better and mary shoota
(・‿・)
He stood in his recovery position and I was confused and I got ready late after him.
"now!"
He ran towards me and I wasn't ready yet, then I also ran, then he slide his leg under me to sign me but I jumped quickly after that to hit me with a fist in my side I fell but I got up quickly he came to hit me with his fist again I bent down then I hit him with my fist on his chin then he raised his knee to hit my stomach I went back because it hurt me I was going to vomit but I stood On my feet I catch myself Then he ran on me again to hit me with his fist again, but I grabbed it with my hand to lift me up. At this moment, I moved my leg to hit him with my feet, but he grabbed it with his other hand to pull me out of it and knock me on the ground. And I get ready again we stayed In this way, he is strong, I cannot defeat him. I escaped from his blows or repelled them to not hurt me.
"that's enough, you weren't good enough, but you shot me twice, and you using your legs more than your hands"
- Yes..*Breath in from my mouth* I see them...easy for me the girls said yesterday that I have good flexibility.. that doesn't need exercise
"It's clear in your movements that you move smoothly and acrobatic"
We finished training on this, he told me some tips, and then I went home just to sleep, I didn't want to eat anything. When I woke up, I found the girls preparing food for me. They took it up to my room.
It's been four months again and I've been training, learning techniques, breathing, waving the sword, jumping and running with it too. I'm 15 and a half old now.
Getting ready to take the entrance exam.
