"HUUUH?! The little boy was the demon??!!?!" Mitsuri gasps, eyes wide at the new information.

"Mhm," I nod, wiping the blood off my sword from earlier.

The woman was still unconscious, on a nearby bed as I explain what happened to Mitsuri.

"What should we do about the woman?" I ask, jestering towards the unconscious body.

"Hmm... we could just let one of the other villagers to take care of her?" Mitsuri suggest as I nod.

"Sounds like a good idea," I smile at her as her smile brightens, a pink dust decorating her cheeks.

I enter the butterfly mansion, heading towards the room where Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke would be.

On the way there, I bumped into someone, both of us falling to the floor.

I wince, holding my head in my hand, I had landing on a few of my injures which weren't treated yet.

"Sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going." I apologize, standing up before looking down to meet the other persons gaze.

Kanao.

"Oh! You're the tsukugo, right? Kanao Tsuyuri?" I ask her, holding out my hand as she smiles at me blankly, taking out her coin and flipping it before taking my hand, allowing me to help her up.

We stand there in awkward silence for a moment before I open my mouth again, "So... what's the deal with the coin?"

She flips the coin, looking at it before answering, "I flip this coin to make decisions. Nothing matters to me, so I can't decide for myself."

"Hm really? There's nothing in this world that matters to you?" I question, leaning closer to her as her eyes widen for a moment, taking a step back.

"No..."

"What about this then! I'll help you find something in this world that you care about enough that you won't have to flip a coin when it comes to it! Wether it's a person or an object— it doesn't really matter, so long as you care about it!" I explain, holding her hands in mine as her face progressively turns multiple shapes redder.

"Anyways, I should go now! I need to get my injuries treated aswell as seeing the trio, so I'll see you later! You can always come and find me at my estate aswell!" I call to her before hurrying off, leaving the red-faced girl standing in the middle of the corridor.
