'Thank you, Luana... and I'm sorry for reacting quite negatively a while ago' I said. I close my eyes as my body finally gives in to the exhaustion. My head falls forward as I slowly lose my consciousness. I feel my surrounding turns dark.
-Where Am I?-
Y/N P.O.V
I slowly open my eyes to reveal a ceiling. I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion. I blink my eyes a few times to let my eyes adjust to the light in the room.
'Luana?' I said, closing my eyes as I try to communicate with her. I open my eyes once they adjust to the light. 'Hey? Luana... are you there?' I asked. I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion. I imagined her?
I'm here, Y/N... sorry, I was asleep she said. I blink my eyes. I didn't know she also needs to sleep. But I guess, in a way, she's also a living being. How are you feeling? She asked.
'I feel fine... thank you for saving me' I said. I feel a soft feeling, imagining that she could be smiling. 'Luana... is it possible for me to know what you look like?' I asked.
Yes... lift your hand. And say, summon Luana she said. I sit up and lean my back against the headboard. I do as told and the ground lit up a soft f/c and a snowflake pattern appears there. I watch as a figure emerges. I jump at the sight, as a soft smile is present on her face.
"Luana?" I said. She smiles softly and nod her head. My eyes widen slightly as I stare at her face. "Wow... you're beautiful. Well, as expected from a Goddess" I said. She closes her eyes as she let out a soft giggle.
"Who are you talking to?" A voice said, making me jump at the sound. I turn my head to see a girl with black hair and blue tips. She looks around the room. I glance at Luana before turning to look at her again.
She can't see me, Y/N... you're the only one who's able to. I'm only created for you. To be your guardian she said. I blink my eyes at what she said. The girl is still waiting for me to speak.
"I uhh... er. I was just, um... talking to myself? I do that sometimes..." I said. She squints her eyes at me. I smile nervously at the look she's giving me. "Where am I?" I asked, trying to change the topic.
"You're in the Hospital Ward of the Butterfly Estate. A group of Kakushis found you and brought you here. You were in a pretty rough state" she said. I look down at my body to see bandages around my arms. I turn my head to look at the girl again, silently questioning who she is. "Oh, my name is Kanzaki Aoi. I'm in charge to look after you" she said. I hum softly and nod my head.
"Thank you for looking after me, Kanzaki-Chan. My name is L/N Y/N..." I said, smiling gratefully at her. She just nods her head. She walks up to me, walking through Luana who smiles at me and slowly disappears from my sight. I'm guessing she's back inside my mind.
"I brought you meal... make sure to take your medicine after, okay?" She said. I just nod my head at what she said. "I'll take my leave now. Just came here to check on you" she said.
"Thanks..." I said. She just nods her head. She slowly turns around and makes her way out of the hospital room. I turn my head to look at the food. I lift the spoon and scoops up some soup. I take a sip and closes my eyes. It tastes quite bland. But that's to be expected as it is hospital food. But either way, I'm still grateful for this meal. I've been so hungry.
Slow down or you'll choke, Y/N... Luana said. I just hum at what she said. I eat slowly as she requested, and take the medicine afterwards. I gagged at the bitter taste. I hear a soft laugh inside my head, making me pout because my guardian is laughing at me.
"Don't laugh at me, Luana... can't you do something to make this taste more bearable?" I asked. She let out a soft hum at what I said. "Can't you?" I asked.
No, sweetie. Sorry. I'm here only to protect you and keep you safe from life threatening situations, and bitter medicine isn't going to kill you. So you just have to bear with it... she said. I huffed and pouted which makes her laugh even more. I shut my eyes tightly as I drink the medicine. I gag at the aftertaste after finishing the whole thing.
"I see our patient has awaken... I came here as soon as Aoi informed me that you're awake..." a gentle voice said. I turn my head to see a different girl. This time, this girl has black hair with purple tips. "My name is Kocho Shinobu. Welcome to my estate. How did you managed to survive out there alone? The crows told me that there are sightings of demons there..." she said.
"Crows?" I questioned. She starts to explain what she meant. So the crows called Kasugai crows are specially trained to send messages among demon Slayers. I blink my eyes. "Wait, does that means I'm near the Demon Slayer Headquarter?" I asked.
"Yes... what of it?" She asked. I reach inside my haori and take out the map and a small note Urokodaki-San had given me. I hand it over to the girl for her to read. She opens the letter to read the content. "Ah... so you're the one he mentioned. I'd love to see this unique skills of yours. But first, you're going to need to meet with the Leader of the corps, Ubuyashiki Kagaya or as we call him, Oyakata-Sama. We have all been expecting you, L/N-Chan" she said, turning her head to look at me. I hum softly at what she said and nod my head.
I slowly move to sit up, making the girl furrows her eyebrows as she stares at me in surprise. "Are you sure you're fit enough to be walking around?" She asked. I turn my head to look at her and smiles, lightly nodding my head in reassurance. "Very well then. Follow me..." she said. She turns around and walks away. I just follow close behind her as she leads the way. I wonder what kind of person the Leader is. I feel so nervous. What if I'm not welcomed here?
