the hashiras and y/n enjoyed their ramen in glee. mitsuri being the active and curious person she is, made small talks with y/n who was answering them. 

"do the crows tell you their names or do you give them the names?" 
she asks, eating her third bowl of ramen while y/n was still eating her slowly.

"it depends on the situation... your crow urara was from a rescue situation. she was rescued by a kakushi after a demon attacking the area. back then she didn't have a name until i gave her one. the crows can decide as to whether they want to keep their names or change it. kamado-kun's crow gave himself a name. "
y/n elaborated further on.

"but as for nijimaru. he's an offspring of one of the previous generations of the kasugai crows. hence he was named by his parents." 
uzui's eyes sparkled at her words. 

"as he should! he has a very flamboyant name!" 
y/n chuckled at uzui's remark. 

"nijimaru is a fashion model for the rest of the kasugai crows."
y/n referred to the fashionable jewels that uzui had adorned on his crow. uzui nodded in approval and ordered another bowl of ramen. 

"y/n-chan, did you remember all of the crow's names and backstories?"
mitsuri asked amazed at her memory skill. y/n nodded a reply. 

"it's the least i can do... i can't hold a sword since my body is rather weak. training the crows and doing something for them is the least i can do to contribute to the corps." 

"wah~ you must have really great brainpower! whenever i try to remember something my brain goes like kaboom and kapow!"
mitsuri exaggerated her actions with an enthusiastic smile. obanai's expression softened at her smile and y/n's heart swelled too. she knew that those two liked each other through gyomei. he would gossip about the existing hashiras with y/n. 

the group continued eating their ramen and the bond between them only strengthened. deep down, y/n was really glad that she had mustered the courage to introduce herself. by not running away when she saw the water pillar, she had managed to meet such wonderful friends. 

the pillars and y/n had finished their ramen and duty calls. sanemi had to go for a mission at another province. 

"stay safe."
y/n bid her goodbyes to sanemi who huffed and bowed away in respect. uzui left the group, claiming that he had to check on the letters that his wives were sending from the red light district. gyomei assigned with yet another mission at the mountains. 

it was now left with mitsuri, obanai, giyu, shinobu and muichiro. muichiro had already forgotten who y/n was so he was a lost cause. heading back to his estate to train, y/n bid goodbyes with him. 

shinobu wanted to get to know the trainer even more but she knew that she couldn't since the butterfly estate needed her. especially after the death of the flame pillar, she had to take care of the three young survivors. some of the slayers in the battle with the lower moon was still on life support. 

so now it was left with mitsuri, obanai and giyu. 

"i'll escort you up your house." 
giyu initiated. he knew that it would be unsafe for such a high ranking demon slayer corps member to wander around at night. y/n nodded, glad that he offered. mitsuri wanted to offer to but she was in a food coma after eating all the ramen. so all she wanted to do was to sleep. 

"y/n-chan... i'll be heading off now. i think i'm going to sleep anytime... soon." 
mitsuri states, walking to her estate. obanai accompanied her to her estate. y/n smiled and waved at them, telling the two to take care. 

"thank you for escorting me tomioka-san." 
to reach the l/n estate, the two had to climb up a pathway on a small secluded mountain, blooming with wisteria flowers. the house wasn't really far away from the head quarters but was quite the walk. y/n not having the best or strongest body, needed to have someone by her side in case anything would have happened. 

"giyu... that's my first name." 
giyu said in a low voice, only for y/n to hear. the boy was a bit saddened by the fact that she regarded himejima and kanroji by their first names but not him. hence he wanted her to do so. 

"thank you, giyu."
y/n had a bright smile on her face. giyu could only stare at how breath taking she is. 

she is alluring in his eyes.
