Perhaps in Another Life, Ojou : A Tale of Reincarnation

History Lesson

(Y/N) sat in a rather normal looking living room complete with couches both large and singular, large TV, coffee table, the standard items in a household as such. Yet, on a wall nearby was a set of heirlooms with some that dated back to the Taisho Era with a black scabbard with a katana handle sticking out the most. More so since the guard for the blade and hilt was similar to that of what the Rengoku nichirin blade had. Although, this one was older as evident by the faded colors, meaning this was the original one.

Still, that didn't stop (Y/N) from sitting nervous on the sofa as the woman came back holding a tea set. Laying it on the table, (Y/N) was a bit taken back by the sign of respect as he went a bit wide eyed.

"Th-This wasn't necessary, Misses Kamado! Bu-But, thank you, regardless."

"You're a guest and it is the first time you enter our home so, I must and am happy to!"

This lady was sweet, a bit too sweet as evident by the-

"Ah! The rice!"

She soon ran off to the kitchen as (Y/N) was left alone with the tea as he soon stood up. Walking over to the heirloom wall, he would look closer upon the wall and see a photo of what was a band of people all smiling as they seemed to be happy with victory. Upon these people, he noticed and recognized several of them as he once again heard the voices from the past.

"Stop whining and drink your medicine!"

"Nezuko-cha————an~!"

"Comin' through, comin' through, comin' through! Ah! Hahahahah!"

"I am the King of Flamboyance!"

"You broke your blade!? Die! Die a thousand times! Die!"

"Ohohoho! You little shit!"

"Hinokami Kagura!"

The final one caught him off guard as as he looked at one boy between what seemed like a boar mask and a girl. Making him cough a bit as he held the cup of tea before shaking his head.

'This...This must the Demon Slayers of the Taisho Era...'He's' missing...So that must mean this was after he-'

"Uhm hello...who are you?"

Turning around, (Y/N) noticed the woman from before was back but, now a male stood before him. This male had almost black hair that went red at the edges. It was also a tad spiky despite it being properly and formally swept backwards. He was around the same age as Yaketsuku but, unlike Yaketsuku, this man was more casual since he sported a green cardigan sweater with a black button up underneath it. His pants were dark brown in coloration as his shoes contrast this by being a clean white. Standing straight, tall and proud as the Rengokus said, (Y/N) tried to put up a smile yet, only a soft grin formed.

"My name is (L/N) (Y/N)! I used to be part of the Marines until I met Yaketsuku. He helped me become who I am today and I need-"

"Wait...you're Yaketsuku's younger brother? He never elaborated on you beyond he had a younger sibling now..."

"Ye-Yes. Look...I'm lost. And I found something, or better someone, to help me get back on track. They pointed me towards your direction. Saying you may be able to-!"

"S-Stop!"

Mister Kamado cut (Y/N) off before he could finish what he was saying about being "put back on track." (Y/N) was obviously taken aback enough by his sudden raise of voice that he felt as thought he said something wrong.

"I-I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have-"

"No. You're okay. It's just...I know what you want to ask me. To help train you. But, there is a reason why I stopped training with Yaketsuku. Not just because I am now a family man...sit. I must tell you..."
