This place was weird. And not in a good way.
While Uncle Tengen was buying the mochi ice cream, various women on the street were looking at you two in an odd way.
Was it the fact that you had bandages on your face? Or was it something else? Whatever it was, it was enough to grab people's attention.
A few ladies even winked at the two of you, which seemed kinda disturbing. Was it their way of waving to you? It seemed so. Every time a lady winked at you, you kindly returned the gesture.
Though you didn't know how to wink properly and it probably looked kinda awkward.
You and Uncle Tengen were sitting on a porch together while you ate your mochi ice cream. Well, you didn't actually eat it, you just stared at it wishing that you could.
Uncle Nemi told you that human food was bad for demons, and technically mochi ice cream was human food. If you ate it, you'd puke and you really didn't want to experience that again.
"Hey [Name]," Uncle Tegen called out before taking a bite of his treat, "I'm gonna have to leave you on your own for a bit."
You scrunched your brows in confusion before looking up at him. His fuchsia eyes refused to look at you and sweat could be seen trailing down his neck.
"You see... This place is not really meant for kids." He explained, one of his hands clenching his clothing, "And you can't stay with either of the boys because they're busy... um..." His cheeks grew a little pink before he stood up abruptly.
"Doesn't matter!" The man grinned nervously. "I'll find a place suitable for you while Tanjiro and his friends search for your aunts!"
You blinked, your expression blank like paper. "Why can't I just stay with you?"
There was a long awkward pause before he chuckled again. "I will also be searching for my wives!" He replied. "And I'm afraid I can't take you with me, I've been promised to keep you safe and that is what I will do."
He took your hand and stood you up, your ice cream nearly falling out your hand because of how quickly he pulled you. "Let's not waste anytime!" Uncle Tengen grinned before pulling the two of you to a random direction.
Oh boy...

The elderly man's face was swollen, really swollen.
His cheeks were cherry red and so big that he looked like his face was stuffed with all the mochi ice cream in the world.
His brown eyes regarded you coldly before looking back up at your uncle. "Don't you have any other family that your kid can stay with?" He asked.
