The Nature Hashira

Chapter 7: Butterfly Mansion 🦋

After they finished their work and cleaned after themselves, Miyaki put all the medicine in boxes, and Satsuki carried them to place them all in a cart to carry them to the mansion. Miyaki wore her sun-protective clothing again as they both headed to the mansion pushing the cart to head to the Butterfly Mansion.

    After a while, they got to the Butterfly Mansion, and they saw Aoi outside. Aoi saw Satsuki and waved at her.

    "Satsuki! What are you doing here?" Aoi asked.

    "I'm here to deliver the medicine needed for the mansion." Satsuki smiled.

    Aoi then looked at Miyaki with a confused expression as she hadn't seen Miyaki before.

    "Who are you? I've never seen you before." Aoi asked, raising her eyebrow and crossing her arms in confusion.

    "Miyaki is my name."  Miyaki responded, amused at Aoi's reaction. 

    Aoi was suspicious about Miyaki and who she was. Before Aoi could ask her any more questions, Satsuki spoke up.

    "Call her Lady Fujikawa, she taught me the breathing I use," Satsuki confidently affirmed.

    "Oh, is that so? She doesn't seem certified in teaching because she doesn't wear the demon slayer uniform..." Aoi examined.

    Satsuki was giving a stern look to Aoi as the sounds of Zenitsu, Inosuke, and Tanjiro got louder. Aoi sighed as she heard their noises.

    "It's them again..." Aoi said, annoyed.

    "Who is 'them' that you're referring to?" Miyaki asked.

    "Tanjiro, Inosuke, and Zenitsu." Satsuki and Aoi answered while sighing at the same time.

    Miyaki chuckled at how the noises were getting even louder as the three were arguing and fighting each other.

    "Let's head inside with the medicine and then we can deal with them," Miyaki suggested.

    "Good idea." Aoi nodded.

They head inside the mansion and the voices got louder. Satsuki and Miyaki placed the medicine where all the medicine was stored and headed to the room the three demon slayers were in. To Aoi's knowledge, there were three demon slayers, but there was a fourth one talking as well.

    "I don't want to take this medicine! I might just skip it, they wouldn't know." Zenitsu whispered, unaware that other people besides Tanjiro and Inosuke could hear him.

"Lucky you guys for at least being able to rest, I was at the Hashira meeting. They're so scary with their demeanors and how they were complaining about the lack of quality in the current demon slayers. How was I supposed to contribute to this?" Murata panicked.

    "Take the medicine! You don't want your limbs getting smaller, now do you?" Aoi answered sternly as she opened the door.

    Zenitsu and Murata jumped up after hearing that and saw Satsuki, Miyaki, and Aoi in front of him. Murata ran away after seeing them as he didn't want to deal with anyone. After he left, Zenitsu spoke up.

    "W-who are you two?!" Zenitsu faltered.

    "Relax, one of them is Miyaki, the one I was telling you both about," Tanjiro explained.

    "That's Lady Fujikawa to you!" Satsuki corrected.

    "Satsuki, it's okay! You didn't need to correct him, I was going to tell him eventually." Miyaki chuckled.

    "Hmph," Satsuki grunted, crossing her arms and looking away.

    "You're a lady? I'm sorry for calling you by your first name, Lady Fujikawa! Please accept my apology!" Tanjiro replied remorsefully as he looked down in embarrassment.
