THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM — CHAPTER #25 — LITERALLY JUST FLUFF

As the first rays of sunlight filtered through the room, you were abruptly awakened by the sound of Tanjiro's crow boisterous cawing. Startled, you sat up, rubbing the sleep from your eyes. Inosuke, always quick to react, jolted awake, his senses on high alert. Zenitsu, on the other hand, groaned in his half-awake state, still grappling with the reality of the early morning disturbance. Tanjiro stood up, going for some stretching.

Confused and disoriented, you addressed his crow, who had perched himself on your head. "What's all the commotion about?" You asked, your voice laced with curiosity and mild annoyance. The crow had flown into the room through the open window, bearing urgent news. Its repetitive cries hinted at the gravity of the situation. With a sense of foreboding, you strained to comprehend the words it was trying to convey.

"The casualties from the Mugen Train incident are rising!" He squawked, its voice carrying a note of urgency. "More than 40 individuals are now missing, and the situation demands immediate action. You have been assigned to join Rengoku Kyojuro at the site. Head west without delay!"

The weight of the mission suddenly sank in, and a surge of determination coursed through your veins. You knew that time was of the essence, and the thought of Rengoku's life hanging in the balance compelled you to gather your resolve. "This is it..." You whispered to yourself, an unwavering resolve blossoming within you. "If I want to ensure Rengoku's safety, I must give it my all."

Little did you know, (Y/N), that this mission would be the catalyst for a chain of events that would test your strength, resilience, and unravel secrets hidden in the shadows.

———————————————

You, (L/N) (Y/N), a young 18-year-old girl, found yourself deep in contemplation about the choices you had made in your life. Something had triggered this introspection, but the details of what had transpired were yet to be revealed.

...

a Kakushi entered the room and greeted you. "Hello, Miss (L/N)!"

"Hello! What brings you here?" You replied curiously.

"I heard that you're embarking on a new mission, is that correct?" the Kakushi inquired.

"Yes." You confirmed.

"As a new demon slayer, I realized you might not have a uniform yet..." the Kakushi remarked.

"Oh, right! I completely forgot about that!" You exclaimed.

"I have one for you. It's in perfect condition!" The Kakushi offered, handing you the uniform.

"Thank you so much!" You expressed your gratitude, beaming at him. The Kakushi left, and you proceeded to change into the uniform.

...

Life had taught you not to be too naive. As you tried on the new uniform, you didn't expect anything out of the ordinary. However, to your shock, you discovered that your chest and legs were completely exposed.
