"Kyojuro are you ok? You look down" Mitsuri asked worried, a concerned look plastered on her face whilst she scoffed an insane amount of Sushi. Rengoku sat with his elbows on the wooden table in thought opposite her.

The love pillar had quite sweetly taken the male out to eat a meal in the nearest village after he had his talk with the master. However the meal turned out to be more Mitsuri monologuing to herself whilst Kyojuro was day-drifting.

"Hm? Oh I'm fine! These are certainly delicious!" Kyojuro put on his fake smile again as he ate some salmon; in truth he didn't have an appetite at all.

The woman looked at him with an eyebrow raise, ordering ten more sushi platters whilst she examined Rengoku's demeanour.

"Kyojuro you aren't lying are you?" She mumbled with a sad expression, leaning across the table to get closer to him. Rengoku waved off her accusation with yet another smile "don't be silly!... of corse-"

"Kyojuro cut the crap" Mitsuri suddenly interjected, her eyes dark.

This sudden change in personality seemed to catch Rengoku off guard as he flinched at her tone "hmp... fine" the pillar finally looked her in the eyes, his face distorted with a hidden worry.

"Kyojuro tell me what's wrong. I can help you!" She reasoned again, changing personalities once more. The flame pillar stared at her a minute before talking, deciding he might take his chances with trusting her "Kanroji... you're experienced with love right? Considering you and iguro"

The love pillar flushed red before squealing "uwa! Is it that obvious?! Iguro-san is so small and cute-"

"Kanroji.."

"Oh yes sorry! Carry on!" She panicked while eating the new sushi which just came. Rengoku sighed "I've come to terms with liking the same gender.." he began, struggling to find the words. Mitsuri beamed "oh that's cool! Is that's what's making you feel down Kyojuro? If It helps I like girls as well" she grinned, shovelling tuna down her throat.

Rengoku laughed a little, taking his chopsticks and eating some rice finally "no, I'm ok with that factor actually. It's just I'm afraid my feelings for someone are very detrimental"

"Hm? Ooo I wanna know who you like! Is it Tomioka? He's the silent but freaky type eh?" Mitsuri giggled mischievously, grinning as Rengoku went red before waving his hands around "no no! Indeed he's very attractive but I only see him platonically!" Kyojuro quickly dismissed the idea, making Mitsuri deepen her thought.

"Is it Tengen? He does have wives already though... I bet he wouldn't say no to a husband!" She giggled again while playfully punching Kyojuro on the shoulder.

"No no! We're just friends honest.."

"Then who is it?" She hummed, looking at the roof in thought while her eyebrow knitted together. Kyojuro took a sip of his tea "do you think we could get along with demons Kanroji?" He purposefully avoided the question.

Mitsuri was surprised at the sudden question "do you mean like Tanjiro and Nezuko? Their so cute right?!" Rengoku nodded his head as she giggled again "yes... sort of"

"Well only if the demon hasn't hurt a human. Why the strange question all of a sudden?" The love pillar raised her brow, stopping eating for a second as her interest had peaked.

Rengoku didn't answer her.

"Kyojuro that's against the rules. We must kill every demon we see, that's why Tanjiro-kun and Tomioka almost died hadn't it been for the masters kindness"
