36: A Bit of Truth

Tengen was an enigma since day one.

The only thing you knew about him was one, he's married and has three wives, and two, he seems to have an obsession with things he deemed "flashy".

He carried himself in a way that demanded attention, and carried an aura of coolness. Something that you found to be absolutely alluring.

You'd notice other things as well, little details that you keep to yourself. Like how his eyes seem to shine when he smiles at you? Just being alone together with him like this, is enough to put you at ease.

You don't know how to appreciate him, so you just watch him whilst laying cuddled up against him; seeing him smile, listening when he laughs, and feeling his touch. His constant teasing and flirting made the color in your cheeks even brighter, accompanied by the alcohol from the chocolates induced in them.

"So...the milk man?" You suddenly asked.

"Hmm?" Tengen shot you a questionable look.

"The girls here, say you're a milk man."

Though it took him a lot longer than it should've, but Tengen eventually understood what you'd meant as his eyes slightly widen in disbelief. He had completely forgotten all about that!

"R-really?" He muses, "you're telling me, they'd actually bought that?"

Guess I'm a better liar than I thought, he thinks?

"You mean...you're not a milk man?" You ask him, glancing up at him through your lashes.

"Er...no," he admits, "c'mon (Name), you've seen how I dress? Remember back when we've met at that ruin?"

You'd thought briefly for a moment, recalling seeing him dressed as a ninja of sorts with two bladed weapons on his back and of course, that iconic jeweled headband.

"What milk man dresses like a shinobi?" He asked.

"Well, maybe there're ninja milk delivery men?" You giggled.

"S-seriously (Name)?" He sweat dropped.

"What, you'd never know? Delivering bottles of milk from door to door can get pretty dangerous. Best to lay low and be stealthy."

Your silly remark made Tengen laugh wholeheartedly, "hahaha~ well, when you put it that way, it does sound reasonable!" He muses.

"But seriously though, I'm no milk delivery man."

Now curious as to know what exactly does he actually do for living, you took the opportunity to ask him, "then what is it that you do, Tengen-sama?"

At first, Tengen remains silent, contemplating on rather or not he should tell you the actual truth?

He honestly didn't want to frighten you and cause you hysteria, or think he's crazy for that matter, but figured it's now or never?

With that, he finally answered, "I'm a Demon Slayer."

You perked at that.

'Did I hear him right? Did he say demon slayer?' You'd thought.

"A what?"
