~Chapter 25~

"I am not wearing that." You said, shoving the uniform the man gave you back into the man's hands. You and Tomioka went to the tailor, and instead of giving you a normal uniform like Shinobu's, he gave you one most probably worse than Mitsuri's. Even though your torso was exposed most of the time, your breasts were only partially exposed. An abnormally-looking shirt accompanied a short skirt that went over your thighs and exposed your left side. You've never seen anything like this before. On top of all that, it felt too small on you. You didn't even know what might happen to your uniform if you tried fighting. The designer's small beady eyes widened.

"I think it would look great on you, Miss (L/N)! Just give it a try!" You scrunched your eyebrows, folding your arms.

"Nope! No way! Just give me a normal uniform and I'll get the heck out of here." You said as Tomioka, who was standing next to you with his arms folded, raised his eyebrows.

"Why, what was wrong with that uniform?" He asked, curious. He hasn't seen how you looked with your uniform on, obviously because there was no chance you were leaving the changing room wearing whatever abomination the designer just gave you. You sighed.

"Believe me... you wouldn't want to know..." you quickly turned back to the designer with a scary glare on your face, "Now you here better give me a normal uniform or I swear—"

"Ok ok! I'll get you the normal one right away!" The man scurried away as you rolled your eyes, rubbing your forehead. Tomioka-san glanced at the uniform the tailor left behind, which was now flung on the table, as he picked it up, just to see how bad it was. Tomioka-san's eyes grew wider as he blushed, then turned back to the uniform before looking at you. While setting the uniform back on the table, he swallowed a lump in his throat and mumbled a quick apology as he turned to face the wall. Your arms folded as you continued waiting for the short man to return with a new uniform that had been folded. You took it from him and examined it, smiling with satisfaction. This one was a normal standard uniform, only it didn't come with a tie or jacket, which you didn't mind. You thought it looked so much more comfortable than the last uniform.

"Ah, yes! This one's much better!" You smiled as you looked back at the designer, "Please, I'll have two more of these." You said. The man nodded as slowly walked away, hoping he'd never run into you.

"Awe I thought my sword would look cooler..." you said, looking at the normal blade you held in hand, given to you by a strange-looking man with a weird mask, before looking back up at Tomioka-San, "You know, like grangran's and Kyojuro's... oh! Yours too looks great as well!" Tomioka-San raised an eyebrow.

"This is just a temporary sword, (Y/N). Once Kyojuro finishes training you completely, you'll get yourself a new sword." He explained as you nodded, placing the sword into its sheath. You just couldn't wait until you finished training. You would've mastered night breathing by then. You'd be strong and would be able to protect not only yourself but others as well from demons. You weren't planning on giving up anytime soon. After all, you've got the most supportive friend group. Mitsuri, Shinobu, Kyojuro, even Tomioka-San! You saw him as a friend and were proud of it. You looked up to Tomioka-San with a smile.

"So... we gonna catch that demon before it's too late?" You asked, raising an eyebrow as Tomioka-San nodded, wearing his usual blank expression on his face.

"Yes, let's go." He said, gesturing towards the exit as you followed him out of the estate. It was almost midnight by then. Tomioka-San explained the demon's situation, and when and where it usually attacked its victims. It enjoyed eating children the most, especially those who were around the age of ten to twelve. It pretended to be selling toys and whatnot at night, luring the kids who went out late at night towards it, making it easier for the demon to eat them alive. So far, it has eaten almost seventeen children, and the parents have gone paranoid, not knowing what had happened to their kids. You nodded, taking in all the information you just heard. it must've been such a horrible demon, killing innocent children like that. It made you sick. You hated all demons, except for Lady Tamayo and Yushiro, of course. But the rest? They were just horrible creatures. Their existence within itself was just a big mistake.
