As i take a deep breath and glance at the calendar, i can't believe I've been enduring this grueling training for two months and three days now. It feels like an eternity since Sanemi took me under his wing. Every morning, i start with a grueling 30-minute warm-up routine, followed by 2,000 sword swings and various combat training exercises like 200 punches and kicks.

Just when i think I'm done for the day, Sanemi orders me to run up and down a mountain three times, my legs feeling like jelly as i try to push myself to the limit. Even after i complete that daunting task, i still have to do more sword swings, some with weights attached to my wrists and ankles that make the act even more challenging.

Somehow, despite the intense physical exertion and the constant pain, i push on. It might be thanks to Sanemi's strict attitude, which maintains a steely focus throughout the daily sessions, urging me on. Or perhaps it's because of the promise of a delicious and filling meal that follows the training. Fortunately, Sanemi forces me to maintain a healthy and balanced diet that helps me offset all the physical torture i put  my body through.

So, i push through every day, every task, and every obstacle thrown my way, focused solely on the final goal of becoming a demon slayer. It's hard work, but as i look back at the progress I've made, i feel a sense of pride and satisfaction that makes it all worth it. "I'm glad I have nice food here, it's so good!"

I had a fondness for Josh, our cook, that I couldn't quite explain. Maybe it was his warm demeanor that always contrasted with the distant and cold attitude Sanemi had towards me. Whenever I was in the middle of my grueling sword training, Josh would make it a point to drop by and lift my spirits with his bright presence. And he came bearing gifts too, usually in the form of freshly made red bean paste-filled dorayakis that always managed to improve my mood. On hot days, he'd come with a cold bottle of water that quenched my thirst as well as my spirit. His words of encouragement gave me the push I needed to keep going "I need more money, get working, finish the training" he'd say and I soon found myself making more sword swings than ever before. "I don't understand what he means but I'm touched he thinks he's getting paid". I was no stranger to physical exercise, but as I continued training, my body started to transform in ways I never imagined. Muscles grew and I became toned, my core strengthened and my legs became as strong as rockets. Seeing my progress, I felt proud of myself and grateful for the support of someone like Josh.  "Mann I'm getting better over time! Maybe that albino trash monkey will leave me alone for a bit!".

After days of rigorous training under Sanemi, I was at my wit's end. I would have given anything for a few moments of rest. I longed for the tantalizing scent of lavender, the sound of warm water, and the feel of it washing away my worries. I make it to my room after training and put some stuff away, getting excited for a bath. But my spirits were significantly dampened as the thought of attempting some stretches to loosen up my muscles loomed over me. Despite feeling stuffed and weighed down from dinner, I begrudgingly got to work. It wasn't until I finished the stretches that I realized how much I couldn't wait for a soothing bath. I couldn't resist the temptation any longer and made my way to the bathroom, my heart racing with relief. I could hear the sound of water running as I reached for the doorknob.

"Weird, maybe sanemi's having a bath" i thought as I turned around to leave, thinking Sanemi was also taking a bath, until I heard his voice calling me out. "oi! Don't go walking away now, I didn't prepare this bath for nothing, get your ass in there!" Reluctantly, I turned back to see Sanemi standing there. I felt his aggressive tone and followed him inside. As he was leaving, he patted me on the head, complimented my efforts,"you did good today, keep going and you'll become a Hashira in no time". I saw a the smallest hint of a smile on his face in the corner of my eye. It was an unusual expression of kindness from Sanemi that surprised me."WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED?!??!? THIS IS SCARY SHITT, WHY IS HE BEING NICE????!" As he walked away I tried to thank him for complimenting me, he was already out of sight. I couldn't stop thinking about what was up with him today, and I couldn't shake off the fear that the training would only get worse tomorrow. "Nah I got a gut feeling tomorrows training is going to be worse!"

Despite my anxious thoughts, I couldn't ignore the giddiness I felt after receiving a compliment. I decided to let go of those unsettling emotions and instead get in the tub. I quickly stripped off my clothes and stepped into the steamy tub. As the hot water enveloped my skin, I sank deeper into the comforting warmth. Laying back into a comfortable position, I sighed deeply, allowing myself to let go of all my tension. It wasn't long before I could feel the soreness of my muscles start to fade, leaving me feeling renewed and relaxed.

As I washed my body, I breathed a sigh of relief, "man, I'm grateful that Sanemi wasn't so cranky tonight!". I spent a good 20 minutes soaking in the relaxing heat of the water, but as the time drew to a close, I reluctantly got out, watching the water as it swirled down the drain. Feeling a bit bolder, I began to plot my escape from tomorrow's training session. "Maybe I can skip out since Sanemi has a meeting," I mused, "and invite Ryuji to join me for some tasty dangos and tea!." With a plan slowly forming, I felt a sense of anticipation building within me. I finally make my way back to my room and collapse onto my futon. My body is consumed by a heavy sense of drowsiness, weighing me down and making my eyelids droop. I shift around, trying to find a comfortable position and finally relax. Before I know it, I am already drifting off to sleep.

My peaceful slumber is abruptly interrupted by loud pounding on my door."GET YOUR ASS OUT OF BED, WE HAVE TRAINING TO DO YOU LAZY FUCK" I groan and slowly pull myself out of my cozy nest, feeling sluggish and slow. After changing into my training gear and hastily pulling my hair up, I make my way outside to start my training with Sanemi. Despite feeling groggy and exhausted, I push through the fatigue."MY FUCKING GODD I HATE THIS, ITS TOO EARLYY"

Sanemi awaits me and we begin our grueling practice. The hours fly by as i work on my techniques and hone my skills. As sweat drips down my face, Sanemi suddenly announces that he'll be leaving for an hour and a half. He warns me not to take the opportunity to slack off, or face the consequences of double the training. I sweat drop, nodding in understanding. I continue my sword swings, but my mind is elsewhere as my ultimate plan starts to take shape.

Determined to execute the plan, I stop my swings and place my sword down to wipe off the sweat that has accumulated on my forehead. After a quick break, I stealthily walk into the mansion, being mindful of any sounds that may alert Josh of my presence. I tiptoe past the rooms, ensuring that I don't run into anyone. Finally, I make it to my room and shut the door softly behind me.

With the door safely locked, I can finally relax and begin to change into appropriate attire, deciding on a plain haori and a kimono for comfort and practicality.

As I step out of the mansion, I look both ways to make sure I don't run into Josh. Once I knew the coast was clear, I tiptoed away, feeling accomplished and excited about my plan. Despite Sanemi's warning, the plan had been executed smoothly, leaving me with a mischievous grin and a sense of satisfaction.

As I walked towards Ryujis' residence, I felt butterflies in my stomach, getting excited at the thought seeing of my best friend, or I at least think so. I was hoping to catch him at home, but my excitement quickly turned to disappointment when the maid opened the door,"Hi how may I be of help today miss?" She says, "oh I was wondering if Ryuji-san was here!" I say hoping he didn't go for a mission. "Oh sorry! He's on a long mission right now! He won't be back until next week, I'm sorry" she said with dotted eyes and veins popping out of her forehead, " o-" she cuts me off and closes the door in my face. I can faintly hear her shouting about how I'm an annoying obstacle."Wow that asshole didnt have to do that!" I say with an irk.. Annoyed by her rudeness, I walked away feeling bummed out, frustrated, and sad.

Determined to channel my anger, I went back to the mansion and changed back into my training clothes. With each swing of my sword, I got more forceful, and my combat training intensified. Fueled by anger, I hit the dummy so hard that its head fell off and left a hole in its chest the size of my fist. At that moment, I knew I needed to cool off,"Man I hate people who are rude! She didn't even have to do that! She just ruined my vibe" I thought while making my way towards the bench. I sat down to take a break and regulate my breathing. "Or maybe I just have anger issues and she's just being informative"

As I sat there, Sanemi returned and wondered what had happened to make me so upset. He couldn't understand why I was angry and agitated,"god what happened while I was gone?! She should just get back to training, she was more focused when she was angry! Nevermind I don't give a shit" He goes back inside and grabs his money and walks out. "Maybe I'll get some food, I'm fucking hungry", muttering to himself about his dislike for Tomioka. Meanwhile, I tried to calm down and regain my focus, ready to resume my training with a renewed determination.
