WELCOME, (L/N) (Y/N)

"BYE, Tokito-san!" (Y/N) waved off the Hashira as he walked away from the Rengoku manor

"BYE, Tokito-san!" (Y/N) waved off the Hashira as he walked away from the Rengoku manor. "I'll see you next time! And remember, my name is (L/N)(Y/N)! Don't forget it, okay!"

Muichiro merely waved behind him.

She scoffed with a chuckle at his actions.

Classic Muichiro.

"Hey, Rengoku-san?" (Y/N) called, soon enough Kyojuro appearing in a loose robe running a towel through his still dripping wet hair, a smile on his face as he approached her. "Oh, did you just get done bathing? I was going to do the same since it's getting dark, so would you mind prepping dinner this evening?"

"Of course, (L/N)-san!" He laughed, patting her head. "After that delicious tea you brewed for me, I believe an excellent meal as payment is necessary!"

"Haha, thanks!" She chuckled as she began walking down the hall towards the bathroom.

After settling in relaxing hot water, scrubbing herself off, and shampooing and conditioning her hair, (Y/N) stepped out to dry herself off. Donning a clean robe, (Y/N) stepped out and into the main space and was startled when seeing another person in the room with Kyojuro. Both were kneeling on zabutons at a table, a folded Demon Slayer uniform in between them along with a long wooden box. As her attention shifted to the person speaking with Kyojuro, she could see that he was a swordsmith due to the Hyottoko mask he wore, something that only allowed his short, shoulder-length hair to be seen. Not only that, but he was dressed in a simple white robe and black Haori with noticeable callouses on his hands, signaling how often he worked on his craft.

"Ah, hello, (L/N)-san," the man known as Kozo stood up to greet her with a small bow, something she returned as she sat on a zabuton of her own at the head of the small table. "My name is Kanamori Kozo, and I am your swordsmith. I've come to deliver your sword and uniform."

"Thank you, Kanamori-san," (Y/N) smiled, excitement brimming within her.

"From what I learned of you and your fighting style, as in correspondence with your Breathing Style—Universal Breathing, correct?—I've noted how your movements might be constrained with a normal katana," Kozo spoke as he slowly pried open the lid of the long wooden box to reveal a two-blade sword, the handle woven tightly together with what looked to be hard cloth. "I have another client who is a dual sword user, so making this two-blade sword wasn't as tricky as I first thought. In fact, this might be one of my best works. I do hope this sword will aid you in battle, (L/N)-san."
