Nezuko's Pov

I'll give you something good. "
"What is good?"
Muichiro laughed and held out his fists.
"If you win, I'll give it to you. Which one do you have?"
I compared my hands hard, but both hands looked exactly the same.
When I glanced at Muichiro, he loosened his right fist a little, as if it couldn't be helped. Something shone in my hands.
"Muichiro, something went wrong!"
"Hit. Please."
Muichiro opened his right hand and offered it to me. The one that shined brightly was a ring. When I picked it up and looked at it, a small blue-green stone was shining.
"It's beautiful! It's the same as Muichiro's maiden."
"Well, but it also looks like the eyes of a sardine. Come on."
Muichiro beckons while walking toward the back of the room. When I brought the ring with both hands, Muichiro turned on the lights in the room.
Then, in a blink of an eye, the stone shimmered in a purplish pink color.
"Wow, Momoiro is beautiful!"

Muichiro smiled when he saw me.
"I'm glad you were pleased. I'll put it on."
Muichiro took my hand and put on a ring. And I squinted with satisfaction.
"Fufu. It's a stone with the color of my eyes, Mameko, and two people. It's called chrysoberyl.
You can always be with the stone alone. "
At that time, I didn't understand the meaning, and I was in a hurry.
The words that followed were even harder to understand.
"When you see this ring, remember me. Ah, but ... if I don't come back, then forget about me.
I don't want to forget about me and think of someone who will take good care of Nezuko . "
At that time I was unaware of his thoughts and just wondered.
I wonder why I have to forget it.
"Muichiro. I won't forget."
"so."
Muichiro suddenly looked far away. What were you thinking about?
If you think about it now, you must have imagined the coming war and the world after that.
"If I could meet Nezuko who returned to humans, then saying something, Muichiro stopped talking.
"It's nothing. If Mameko is happy, that's fine."
Muichiro laughed a little lonely and stroked my head.
"Mameko. See you."

─ That was the last time I met Muichiro-san.
