This happen when iguro fighting upper moon 1

Kanroji pov

I'm happily eating food. I wonder how's iguro doing right now. He told me about his mission earlier and that was the first time the he talk to me like that. Like some... something is wrong. I don't know i don't understand... I can't explain it's just i feel unease when he told me that.

"Kanroji, I'll head to tengen's area operation. Oyakata-sama already approved so wish me well" is what he said. That's the first time and i just laugh it off and told him that he must come back no matter what.

The moment he turned his back and go, i feel that he won't be coming anymore. "What is this feeling?" That something will happen. Without even thinking my body move on it's own run to him and hug him.

He turned around and look at me, even though i don't see it, i know that he is smiling under his mask. "Please come back alive" is what i said before he pat my head and go. "Once i come back, I'll treat you to some mochi" i shrieked out loud "promise?" I heard him laugh "yeah, promise" looking at me thinking if i was a kid or something.

Later that night when i was patrolling for demons and slaying them afterwards. My mind can't stop thinking on what he is doing at this time, maybe slaying demons again. Well, as a demon slayers, it's our job.

"Maybe tengen and iguro is fighting again" i thought. Those two sometimes fight on a very small thing. The next day the first thing that surprised me is the fact that a lot of crow is flying and screaming something.

Demon slayers were marching toward rhe headquarters. I look around and saw my crow panicking and the other demon slayers looking bad and with too much fear, i wonder what happen.

Oyakata called everyone including the hashira and demon slayers. And then it sunk to me, the moment he open his mouth "Snake pillar Obanai Iguro and Sound pillar Uzui Tengen has died in battle"

I don't want to believe it. I wish it was just a dream but... I'm completely alive here and this is reality!

They were all surprised when i suddenly got an outbursts while my tears countinously rolling down my cheeks none stop. My best friend shinobu comforted me while everyone cried except the pillars who have full of rage in their eyes wanting to slay whoever did it to them.

That day without even thinking and saying proper excuse, i run and run and run away. I suddenly stumble to the ground crying.

I stayed at my state for the whole day without even eating nor drinking water, I'm sitting at my bed tears is falling on my eyes "how could he broke our promise" is what i thought when suddenly i feel something hidden under my bed sheath.

I check it and it was a letter. I don't know what's inside but i read it. The moment i open it and read the first paragraph, my tears keel falling again.

Letter

Heading to my final destination i feel too much unease. What is this feeling? This is the second time the i feel it. The first time i felt something like this is one i was a child.

That doesn't matter anymore. I need to get there as a backup. If this thing that we called the demons doesn't exist, i wonder how many humans would be alive.

No, it's impossible for me. First, i must die and swap out this body that's flowing with impure blood. If i dont then, im afraid of being next to you.

Kanroji, I am a man from a filthy family who has murdered individuals and used others for their own gain.

I'm not sure how well things would have gone if you and I had met in a more relaxed and unfettered environment.

I was born into a female-dominated home. It has been 370 years since a man was born, according to them. But I've been in a cage since the minute I was born.

It was horrible how affectionate my mother, sisters, and grandfathers were. They brought me meals on a daily basis. There was no ventilation, and the grease stench was unbearable.

When the cage is dark, it's time to call it a night. Something creeping about sounded sinister to me. I felt a stare on me, a clinging look.

I was hot and bothered all over, and I couldn't sleep till the noise stopped.

I was let out of the cage when I turned twelve. I was escorted to a glittering and too expensive room, where a female demon with a snake-like lower half was enshrined like a god.

I quickly realize that this was the creature that was always checking on me at night.

"His small, we should wait a little bit longer till he get bigger"

My family survives by stealing the belongings of those who have been slaughtered by this serpent demon. As a result, she enjoys eating babies. They offered their own child as a sacrifice.

And because I was a one-of-a-kind creature with peculiar eyes. This woman was quite enthralled by me. So she let me grow to a point where I might be eaten.

They agreed that after I was introduced, I would survive a little longer. They sliced my mouth because the woman stated it should appear like hers. My streaming blood was then stored in a sake cup, and she drank it.

I went back to the cage. I was solely concerned about escaping and surviving. Using a hairpiece that has been stolen. I carved at the wooden lattices incessantly.

Every day made me uneasy because I was afraid they would figure out I was attempting to flee. Kaburamaru, a snake that had wandered into my cage, was the only one I could trust.

I was able to flee, but I was pursued for much of the trip and felt I was going to die. However, the flame pillar of the moment saved me.

He took me to see my cousin who had survived, and she berated me to no end. "It's all your fault!" I what she said because of me fifty people died. "Your just a sacrifice! You should have just stayed quiet and let her eat you!"she scream.

Her angry statements were irrational in the extreme. They did, however, strike a sour note in my heart. It's not like I hadn't considered what might happen to my family if I attempted to flee.

But I ran anyhow because I needed to survive. I'm just another scumbag born into a family of scumbags. I couldn't live a regular life because of the karma I had inflicted on myself.

I didn't know where else to channel my emotions, so I resorted to the monster. They were something I despised and despised. Whenever I put my life on the line for the sake of someone else. I felt as if a seed of 'good' had sprouted within of me.

Regardless of how much time had gone, those fifty persons with malicious eyes seized me with their nasty gaze and drove their nails into my rotten skin to keep me from going anywhere.

Muzan is someone I wish to kill and die. I'm hoping that this will purge my nasty blood. If we reincarnate as human beings in a world devoid of devils, Then I shall without a doubt tell you that

I love you..

-Iguro obanai

After reading I can't stop my tears from falling. 'Iguro loves me' is what i though bu can't say because of the way he lives. I don't know when will i recover my previous self after hearing about his death, but no matter what happen I won't forget him and make sure that i will become much more stronger

I will definitely kill muzan or any upper moons demons who stand in my way if i ever lose...i will do my best and hold my ground until the very end of my life.

End
