The sound of wooden wheels against stone floor could be heard but not a single footstep from the pale demon

After opening the door himself for the first time, wheeling their way from the dark hallway with his sword with him towards the huge slide door did he understood how much he missed the sun

At first he was confused unto why the demon would be so calm about going out at the middle of the day but he figured they'll only stay on the shade

That question was quickly replaced by his surrounding

Children could be seen playing with a few adults minding their own business or looking after them

Grass evenly trimmed. Varieties of flowers that grew beautifully yet so randomly a sizable pond quite far from where he sat and a playground made of wood

Everything looked so peaceful and happy, the problem was none of the people seem to notice their obvious presence

They didn't even look at him as if he was never there nor acknowledge their 'cult' leader who looked at them fondly

Was this a trick?

The evidence pointing to an illusion was heavy, no wonder she's so calm about their so called walk in broad daylight, but before he could ask the demon wheeled out of the shade where they rested seconds ago feeling slightly dizzy as if crossing a barrier but too alarmed to care

"Wait! What are yo-" eyes widening at the sight of the demon who stood under the sun without burning

Impossible

"(Y/N)-sama!" The humans quickly flocked them paying their respects, smiling and beaming to the demon leader recognizing some of them as the ones who checked on his health

Y/N...

Her name...

He never cared to know his captors name neither did she bother to ask him so why should he? they've always addressed eachother as 'you' or 'hey'

But it made him feel weird to actually know her name

Y/N

"What's the occasion (Y/N)-sama?" The demon only smiled at the little child who tug at her skirt earning an earful from the older sibling dragging the young child away from them

Sensing the glare coming from the water Hashira, she looks down

"Aren't you tired of seeing my face everyday?" she said jokingly

He didn't respond, clearly wanting some answers

"The sun" she stopped then looked up

"It's an illusion" looking back down

"But there are many areas in my fortress where real sun is present since majority of the ones living here are humans"

Why would she tell me that?

Is she taunting him?

We're in a fortress...

How powerful is this demon to create something as a fortress and conjure this high quality illusion

Wait

Since when did he start addressing self conclusions to 'we'

Could this be brainwashing?

But what could she gain from it?

Does she want information?

It doesn't matter, he'd rather die

"(Y/N)-sama I made you a flower crown!" Pulling the demon with her who didn't hesitate to follow the young girl, snapping the demon slayer from his thoughts

Y/N

He watched as she played and laughed with everyone

She looked so genuine for it to be acting and everyone around her proved it

She was gentle and funny towards the kids but sarcastic and playful towards the adults

All those new things he had learned today was easily outweigh by his fascination of how different she was

Those expressions he's never seen before graced her face who looked lovingly at each and everyone of the humans she mingled with

He felt undescribable foreign feelings inside upon seeing her but weirdly negative over the thought of her difference towards him

He doesn't know what this is but it felt nice and agitating

There wasn't a single flaw on what he witnessed, if this was acting then he'd stand up and clap if he could

Sitting on the wheelchair provided under the shade of nearby trees, his back facing grey concrete walls keeping his sword close to him

All he could think about is the demon a few feet away from him and his doubts, eyeing every movement and change of expression failing to realize the number of people wanting to chat or play with him remaining stoic from the outside
