Sakura Mochi (JJK x Demon Slayer)

chapter 16

Toji helped her set up things, though Kana didn't make him do much. She's the one who did most of the work

She just wanted to spend some time to get to know Toji a bit. She came to really like him and was charmed by his handsome face and kindness towards her

The same goes to Toji. He watched her bringing things out of her box. One pink coffee cup, a photo frame, a journal, few pare of fuzzy socks, a few sample size skincare products, books, laptop and what not

"So how is it like to be the strongest female sorcerer, hmm doll~~"

She giggled at his question, a soft peach blush dusted on her cheeks. It made her look even more cute and prettier

"It's good. Tiring, but I love my job. I can save families, people and be the reason for someone's happiness. "

She answered joyfully

Toji was a little taken aback by her answer. He never saw jujutsu sorcerery like that. Now hearing it from her makes it sound like some kind of very full filing job

"That's a way to see it"

She looked up at him when he said this

"Why? Don't you like your job, Toji-san?"

She asked, her head tilted to the side in confusion

"I don't know. I do it because it's the only thing I can do.... I'm not that good of a person -

"I know. You're the previous sorcerer killer"

She cut him off, making him widen his eyes

"How do you know about that?"

"It's not really hard for me to know a information like this... You know, I am one of the people who preched to the higher ups to take you in Jujutsu high"

Again, Toji was very surprised

He didn't know any of that

But now that he thinks about it, there were only four special grade sorcerers when he became a sorcerer. And they were the ones who were to decide if he should stay here or not. Then three of the sorcerers opposed the idea of him being a sorcerer

Two of them were Gojo and Geto, since they were the ones who arranged for him to be a sorcerer. Then there was Tsukomo Yuki, she was abroad. So it only left one, Kanroji Kana

He was shocked with the newfound information

"Why did you do that?"

"Because I believe everyone deserves a second chance"

He was little taken aback again

"Why do you believe me though? I don't have the best history or we don't even know each other"

He watched how she paused and looked up at him

"I know how the Zenins are... How power hungry they can be. I can only imagine how your childhood was there being a person without cursed energy... I believe the mistreatment you had led you to do such horrible things you did. I don't blame you for that"

He didn't know how to react to that she was basically reading him like a book. No one understands him like this... Ever. He doesn't know how a person could read someone so we'll

Soon she gave him a warm smile that made his heart skip a beat again, his heart was hammering against his chest

"And I was right. Look at you now, a special grade sorcerer who saves thousands of people and a reliable sensei to his students. You've changed in the best way. You made my decision to help you be worth it"
