This will be reposted when I wake up and can grammatically correct this and I thought it was Monday. 😊

Normal days are nice, days where you could sleep in without disturbance, or yelling from an obnoxious blonde. Days that you could go outside and find flowers to press. Days that you could go and spend the day making poison with a friend, or eating with another. Normal days are nice and all, but there is a downside to them. There is always something bound to go wrong, and most times that "something" is not easy to deal with.

I believe that Tanjiro was to come back from his mission sometime around today and the other two boys were training. Kanao was slightly starting to think freely without using her coin, and would often greet me without using her coin. Shino-chan was needed to check up on some patients and I went out to the garden to see the butterflies. Mitsuri-chan found me and asked me to lunch, and on the way, we met Giyuu. After some pestering from the heterochromia-haired girl, he joined us for lunch. While Suri-chan was the one who was talking the most and was also conveniently eating the most, Giyuu and I would occasionally answer or put in our thoughts.

When we finished it was a little past the afternoon. I was taking the shortcut into the estate from the garden when I heard a commotion and went to check it out. What I saw greatly confused me, but a warmth blossomed over me when I witnessed Kanao reach out to stop Uzui-san as he tried to kidnap two people from the estate. The three girls who helped in the rehabilitation training as well as Aoi looked like they were about to shed a tear.

"Don't pull on me so plainly. You have your orders."

He was probably going to wait for an answer but chose to start yelling at her. "Just say something you plain boring person!!"

The other girls charged towards him hoping that they would be able to get their friends back. That led to Tanjiro who had just arrived to become angered and think that Uzui-san was trying to kidnap everyone. One thing led to another and I watch as he launches himself in the air in hopes to headbutt the hashira. As assumed he did not land the attack and was left on the ground with one of the girls on his back. Uzui-san the complete opposite, standing on the roof holding two of the girls.

"You fool, I am the former shinobi Uzui-Tengen-sama. The man who is known as the most flamboyant around these parts. Did you think that I would get headbutted by a snot-filled brat like you?" He asks with disgust and disdain.

"Give Aoi-san and the others back," Tanjiro counters, not trying to answer the question asked. The other girls cheered with his statement while Kanao in the back raised her fist in agreement.

"You damn brats! Who do you think your mouthing off to here!? I have superiority. I'm a piller you jackasses!" He yelled clearly getting progressively angrier the longer the conversation lasted.

"Well, I don't accept you as a piller. Hmph!"

"Don't 'hmph' me. What the hell do you mean you don't accept me! Like I would care about someone so lowly and what they think of me. I need a female member on my mission, so I'm going to take them. I don't need 'Kocho's' permission as long as they aren't successors!

"Naho-chan isn't a hunter member, she isn't wearing a uniform!" One of the girls cried out.

"Well, I don't need her then," he said as he casually let go of her and threw her towards the ground.

I took that as the chance to intercept the conversation and make sure that Naho-san doesn't get injured for something so trivial as a small dispute. "Bakas, the both of you." I took that as the chance to intercept the conversation and make sure that Naho-san doesn't get injured for something so trivial as a small dispute. "Bakas, the both of you." I carefully gave Naho-san to Tanjiro before grabbing Aoi-san and placing her on the ground, and out of Uzui's grasp.

"What are you doing (y/n)? I require a female slayer for my mission."

"Yes, I heard the conversation, but none of the girls standing here are a part of the hunting party of the demon slayer corps. It is quite easy to see as they do not have a uniform or have a (nirichin) sword on their being. If you need a female counterpart you could easily find one by looking for a person who either wears a uniform or a sword, but since you seem to be in such a rush I can go along with you."

"W-WWait! (y/n)-channnn! Don't go with this pervert, we can go instead!"

Zenitsu makes himself known along with Inosuke walking along the walls like I was, and they along with Tanjiro agree to go along with me on his mission. It was a sweet reconnection of the girls who were almost abducted.

"So where are we going old geezer?"

"To the most flamboyant place in all of Japan. Filled with lust and greed." He turned around to face us smiling. " The red-light district where the demon lives."

There was a collective 'huh' from the three boys and a small cheer that everyone would have missed if they were not all looking towards the same person.

"Yey, I love going there, and I know a lot of people who could help us too," I said smiling while tilting my head innocently. Something that shouldn't normally be an action made with the sentence just said, but who are you to know that.
