Limitless (KNY X Reader)

Sixteen

Enjoy the double update~

Early the next morning you stand outside, waving goodbye to your students as they head down the road away from the estate. You had hugged all of them beforehand, even managing to hug Nanami despite his protests. They were a bit upset to be leaving so soon but you promised to send letters more often and that you'd tell them all about the demons you fight while traveling with Tanjiro. Itadori seemed to be the only one interested in that while Nobara demanded you send her souvenirs from everywhere you visit. Megumi simply told you to not die, and to keep your new friends safe, which you easily agreed to.

Once they're out of sight you turn around to head back inside only to pause when you spot someone rapidly approaching with their arm waving high in the air. "(Y/N)! What are you doing outside?! The sun will be rising soon!"

You chuckle at the girls worry. "Ah~ you're so cute worrying about me. Did you forget I'm the strongest?"

Kanroji instantly turns bright red, stuttering over her words before slapping her hand to her cheek to snap herself out of it. "Of course not! But even the strongest people can get hurt! You shouldn't be outside during the day!"

"There's no need to worry." You place your hand on top of her head, gently patting it. "The sun doesn't hurt me, so I'll be fine."

"Really?" She looks up at you in amazement, her eyes practically sparkling. "You really are the strongest! Wah~ you're so cool!"

You nod along in agreement before tilting your head curiously. "What are you doing here anyways?"

"Ah, thats right!" She jolts in realization before holding out a bag she had been carrying in her other hand. "I brought you some food! I asked Oyakata-Sama about your favorite foods and he told me all sorts of stuff, but he said daifuku is your absolute favorite!" She seems embarrassed as she explains, realizing she just admitted to talking about you with her master.

"You must want me to fall in love with you, huh?" You tease as you take the bag from her, opening it up as you look inside to see multiple bentos stacked neatly. Kanroji practically bursts into steam as her face burns impossibly red. You ignore her reaction as you take her hand, dragging her along with you to the garden. "Come eat with me."

Upon finding a nice cozy spot next to a tree that will provide plenty of shade once the sun fully rises, you sit down and pull the flustered girl to sit next to you. Opening the bag, you begin pulling out the numerous bentos, finding there to be at least a dozen. Pleased at the amount, you hand some over to her as you get comfortable, popping open your first one to find rice and steamed veggies with sauce.

"So, what's your story?" You ask her as you begin eating, happy to fill your stomach with yummy food.

"My story?" She repeats in confusion.

"Why'd you become a Demon Slayer?" You elaborate as you reach towards another bento to see what's inside.

Kanroji lightly scratches her cheek as she looks a way, a bit ashamed at her silly reason for joining the corps. "I joined because I wanted to find a strong husband."

"And did you?"

"Huh?" She stutters slightly, and you chuckle in amusement at how easy it is to fluster the poor girl.

"Did you find the person you want to marry?" You reiterate, curious of her answer.

Kanroji hesitates a bit, staring down at her untouched bento. You can tell that there's somebody on her mind but from the way she's hesitating she likely hasn't confessed her feelings, nor does she now how he feels towards her. Deciding to save her from her struggling thoughts, you lightly pat her head. "You don't have to tell me. But, I'm sure he's a great guy if he managed to capture the heart of someone as sweet as you."

Kanroji stares at you, amazed at how kind you are. When you first appeared during Tanjiro's trial she was extremely nervous. It's not every day you watch someone just appear out of thin air. And then she learned that Oyakata-Sama views you as family which made her think you weren't a threat. But then she was thrown for a loop when you were revealed to be a demon. After that she thought you were nice when you were thanking her, Tomioka, and Kocho. Yet when you addressed the others with disappointment she couldn't help but to get a bit scared at how intimidating you were.

That's why she decided to speak with Oyakata-Sama about you. She wanted to learn more about you so she could truly figure out how to feel about you. Asides from Nezuko, you're the only other demon she's seen who isn't like the ones she's supposed to slay. It fills her with curiosity. Of course, Oyakata-Sama had nothing but kind things to say about you. He told her of how you helped his ancestors and how you denied them being in your debt, instead saying you'd be even if they gave you food. After that they basically accepted you into the family and you made the promise to look after their descendants, hence why you were always present for the births of the children.

Him bringing up you asking for food led to her questioning him about your favorites. Oyakata-Sama told her that there's very few things that you dislike, and that you're always traveling to try new foods. But he said your ultimate favorite was daifuku, a treat you would travel far and wide to search for. She could understand the sentiment since she adores Sakura mochi, eating so much of it that it changed the color of her hair.

Kanroji decided she wanted to know more about you, but from you yourself. She figured the best way she would get to know if you're trustworthy or not would be to meet you herself. Knowing that you enjoy food, she made a ton of bentos throughout the night as a way to break the ice. She actually didn't sleep at all hence why she arrived before the sun had fully risen. She was too nervous and excited so she couldn't possibly wait until later. She was actually quite lucky you were awake and outside as she didn't want to disturb anyone to figure out where your room was.

She's extremely glad she came though, even if it meant losing sleep. You seem pretty genuine and kind. You even showed an interest in learning about her which she wasn't really expecting. She also wasn't really expecting you to invite her to eat with you. The entire time she's been sitting with you you've been handing her more and more bentos, almost as if you already knew she eats a lot. She also noticed that you eat a lot, too. Out of the roughly dozen bentos, you both have eaten six. It makes her feel less insecure knowing you wouldn't judge her for eating so much, but would instead encourage her to eat her fill.

After this, she truly believes the two of you could be great friends.

🌌 You shared your daifuku with Mitsuri even though it's your favorite

🌌 The two of you sat outside for hours just talking. You told her about your life as a demon, and she told you how she was always rejected because of her weird hair and abnormal strength.
