Love Is The Answer (Tomioka Giyuu X Reader)

Chapter 6

Previously on Chapter 5

These people sure are curious about me. But again, I can't blame them. I would be too if I were in their shoes. I just hope they'd stop staring at me as if they want to devour me alive. The way they stares at me is making me feel uncomfortable and awkward. I just hope they'd stop with that look.

-The Leader-

Y/N P.O.V

I hear footsteps coming towards us. I turn my head to see a pair of twins. The black haired one dressed up like a girl but I know he's a boy. There must be a reason why he need to dress up as a girl.

"Oyakata-Sama have arrived" one of them said. I feel a hand on my shoulder. I turn my head to see Tomioka-San. He guides me to stand with the others and kneels down in front of the man. I quickly follow their actions. Yumi is just standing where she is, confused.

"Yumi... follow our gesture. That man's the leader..." I said. She quickly moves to kneel next to me. I turn my head to look at the man in front of us. He have markings on his face. His eyes are both milky white, which lets me know that he's blind.

"I am pleased to know everyone is doing well. But from what I heard, there seem to be a new addition among us" he said. I just stay silent. He turn his head slightly as if he could see me. "Y/N... was it?" He said. I just stay silent, not knowing what to say or how to respond.

A gentle nudge on my side, making me turn to look at the person. Tomioka-San sends me a stern gaze. "Oh, uh... y-yes, Oyakata-Sama. That's me... I'm Y/N. And this little girl next to me is Yumi" I said. I place my hand on top of Yumi's head as I said the last sentence.

"It's nice to meet you both. From what I've heard, is that you're not a human. But a demon... and that little girl is human" he said. He stays silent after he said that as he seem to think. "Do you have a reason why you let this kid hang around you?" He asked.

"None, sir... aside from the fact that I don't want her to be alone. She wouldn't have survived if she's all on her own. I'm simply looking after her" I said. He hums softly at what I said.

"From your voice, I can tell that you're a sincere..." he said. I just stare at him, wondering what he's going to do with me. "Very well... I shall grant you permits to stay here. Under one condition..." he said.

I hear someone clicking their tongue. I turn my head to look at the other Hashira and make eye-contact with a guy with bandages covering his mouth. He didn't look happy with Oyakata-Sama's choice. He notice my gaze and turn to look at me, glaring slightly. I gulp at his reaction and turn to focus my attention to the leader.

"Your condition is that you're not allowed to leave the Estate unsupervised. You also need to prove yourself that you're not a threat to us. Since Tomioka is the one who brought you here, you're going to be his responsibility. Which means, each time he's sent on a mission, you have to go with him. Are we clear?" He said. I bow my head lower, showing my respect to him.

"It's clear, Oyakata-Sama... as you wish. I only have one concern..." I said. I lift my head to look at him. "What about Yumi? It will be too dangerous if she were to come along all the time..." I said. A soft smile starts to form on his lips.

"As for Yumi... she's free to stay here with me at my estate" he said. I turn my head to look at Yumi as she turn to look at me. "But I'm not going to force her if she didn't want to" he added.

"I understand... I will try to persuade her" I said. He nod his head in satisfaction to my response. "Thank you so much, Oyakata-Sama..." I said. The meeting soon comes to an end. One by one, everyone starts to leave the place.

***

"NO! I don't wanna!" Yumi whined as she shakes her head stubbornly. I let out a sigh at her reaction. I've been trying to persuade her to stay with the Leader. But she's being stubborn, wanting to come with me.

I walk towards her and kneels down. I place my hands on her shoulders. "Yumi... please don't be difficult. You're a lot safer if you stay with Oyakata-Sama" I said. She just keeps on shaking her head, crossing her arms as she pout at me.

"Why do I have to stay with Oyakata-Sama? We have D/N, right? She can keep me safe!" She said. It's true that D/N can keep her safe. But summoning her takes a lot of energy.

"Well, that's true. Keeping D/N materialized with us in this world will continue to drain my energy, Yumi... I won't be able to focus on helping Tomioka-San with his mission if I collapse" I said. She just looks down with a sad gaze. I place my hand on her head. "Oyakata-Sama, along with his family can look after you and keep you safe. I will always visit you after I finished my mission. We'd only be parting ways during the mission and I'll come back as soon as I complete the mission, okay? So, please stay with Oyakata-Sama..." I said.

"Promise?" She said, lifting up her pinky. I smile softly and nod my head. I lift my hand, gently entwining my pinky with hers. She let out a sigh and wrap her arms around my neck. "Don't ever leave me alone, okay, Nee-San? You're all I have left in this world..." she said. I wrap my arms around her smaller frame.

"I will never leave you alone, Yumi. You're my family..." I said. She tighten her arms around me, making me smile softly. "Even though we're both different beings. I care about you like a real sibling. You're like my sister, Yumi" I said.

"I'm happy to have a sister like you, Nee-San..." she said as she pulls away slightly to look at me. I give her a close eye smile as I ruffle her hair softly. She blushes at me and starts to giggle softly.

Time-Skip

"I'll leave her in your care, Oyakata-Sama..." I said, as I bow at the man in front of me. Yumi is now standing next to him as she stares at me with a sad expression. I walk up to her and leans down. "Behave yourself, okay?" I said.

"Okay..." she mumbled sadly. I lean forward to place a soft kiss on her forehead. "Visit soon, Nee-San..." she said. I smile softly at her and nod my head, promising to her that I will visit her often.

"We should get going now, Y/N..." Tomioka-San said. I turn to look at him and nod my head. I turn to Yumi and smiles at her. I pull her into a quick hug as she wraps her arms around my neck.

"I'll take my leave now, alright?" I said. I feel her nod at my words. I smile softly and pulls away from her. "Take care..." I said, gently patting her head.

"You too, Nee-San..." she said, waving her hand lightly at me. I just nod my head at her words. I move to stand up. She turn to look at Tomioka-San. "Take care of Nee-San for me, okay?" She said.

Tomioka-San only nods his head. I smile at her and turn around, quickly following Tomioka-San who's already walking ahead of me. I turn around once we're far enough to look at Yumi. I lift my hand and wave at her. She smiles sadly as she do the same as me. I smile at her and turn around, chasing after Tomioka-San who's already quite far.

'I wonder what my first mission would be like' I thought to myself as I walk next to Tomioka-San. I turn my head to look at the sky that's now in the shade of orange as it is close to night time. I'm nervous... but also excited. I can't wait to see what's awaits for us.
