"Oi" Sanemi spoke before Y/N took a step. 

Y/N turned towards his direction. "Yeah?"

"Take care and have fun" he grumbled. "Make sure you'll continue the manga when you come back!" he exclaimed.

"Sure" she said then Mitsuri ran towards her and hugged her.

"Have a safe flight, Y/N-chan! I hope you're heart will be healed!" 

Y/N smiled and nodded. "I'll go now" Y/N said as she waves goodbye to Sanemi and Mitsuri who accompanied her to the airport. 

Sanemi and Mitsuri watched her as she entered the boarding gate until she was no longer in sight.

"Shinazugawa-san" Mitsuri spoke. 

"What?"

"You actually care for her!"

"Ha?! The heck you're talking about?"

"I mean! Why would you say that to her if you don't?"

"I only care for the sales of the manga!" he says. "She better come back with great ideas so I will have a big share!"

Mitsuri only giggled. "Hai, hai!" she said and started walking. 

"Which reminds me...Douma looked so scared with you, why is that?"

Sanemi only huffed. "As he should"

━━━━━━━━━━━

Y/N heaved a sigh as she finally got in to her hotel room and slumped on her bed. She was tired of thinking as her mind suddenly went back to the past again.

Sure, Y/N and Douma did not even date, they were only in the talking stage, but those times he made her feel special cannot be denied. But somehow, she was thankful to know the truth as early as possible. Yet she can't still help but feel hurt, because she made efforts while he just neglected her after making her like him.

"I feel so bad for his girlfriend" she muttered and sat up to check the time.

"It's still so early" she said, but she was already hungry, so she decided to go out and buy food.

The place she stayed at was actually not the center of Kyoto, so it's less busy and actually peaceful.

"Ubuyashiki-san sure does want me to have a peace of mind." she says then strolled along the streets, suddenly she stopped by a ramen restaurant. Just a few meters away from it is the local library which she planned on visiting.

But since she was famished, she enterer the restaurant and was greeted by an old man.

"Welcome" He says, Y/N smiled then bowed.

The restaurant as surprisingly almost full.

"May I take your order?" The old man asked, but Y/N hesitated.

"Uhm, I think I'll go, there's no room anymore"

"Eh? Wait a second" he says as he looks for a vacant seat.

"Ah, Tanjiro!" He called and a young boy perked up.

"Yes Kuwajima-san? Zenitsu is already coming! Inosuke will go to his mom so he can't come"

"Yes, but you have room for one more person, right?"

The boy named Tanjiro then looked at Y/N's direction.

"Of course!" He exclaimed and smiled.

"There you go miss" he said as he leads her to their table. Y/N really didn't like sharing a table with somebody, but the old man was going his way into making efforts to find her a seat. As a sign of respect, she accepted her fate and sat across the boy accompanied by a girl, they both smiled at her. The old man then took her order.
