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

"WOW!" Mitsuri exclaimed as she looked upon (Y/N) with awe, her light green eyes practically sparkling as she ran forward and took (Y/N)'s hands in her own

"WOW!" Mitsuri exclaimed as she looked upon (Y/N) with awe, her light green eyes practically sparkling as she ran forward and took (Y/N)'s hands in her own. "That was amazing! You beat up those guys like it was nothing! And that uniform... you must a Demon Slayer, right?" She then caught sight of her cast, gasping, "And with a broken arm, too!? Oh my gosh, are you okay!?"

"Uh... y-yeah," (Y/N) stuttered, finding Mitsuri to be even more blinding than before. "It's nothing..."

She's so pretty...

I must look like a potato compared to her.

Oh, well.

"What's your name? What's your name, huh?" Mitsuri asked with a bright smile, clearly excited about meeting (Y/N).

"(L/N)(Y/N)."

"Huh? (L/N)(Y/N)?" She blinked, her cheeks then flushing pink with excitement. "I knew that name sounded familiar! You must be the one from Rengoku-san's letters, right? His secret Tsuguko, right? Oh, isn't his training tough? I guess how amazing of a person he is makes up for it though, don't you think?"

"Yes, Kyojuro is the best mentor!" (Y/N) immediately agreed with a happy grin.

As she continued speaking with Mitsuri, she glanced at Obanai who had a prominent scowl seen even through the bandages he wore around his mouth. When looking at his thoughts, it was clear that he was jealous over the fact that Mitsuri's attention which originally should have been on him was now on her, making it obvious through both his sharp glare and hostility.

(Y/N) refrained from rolling her eyes.

The three then rounded up the rest of the scared kids and released their chains, handing both them and the criminals over to the authorities. (Y/N) nodded her head in satisfaction at the scene. Being able to conquer a small percentage of the bad in the world was enough for her, and she knew that she would gladly do it over and over again.

"Hey, (Y/N)-san," Mitsuri waved her back over with an excited smile, already comfortable enough to drop formalities despite it being their first meeting. "We were just on our way to go eat before we visited Shinobu-san, so would you like to join us?"

"Um..." (Y/N) hesitated, glancing at Obanai.

He raised a brow when meeting her eyes. Mitsuri followed (Y/N)'s stare and nudged Obanai, tilting her head with a pleading smile.

He sighed.

Finally, he gave a subtle nod.

"Yay!" Mitsuri cheered as she grabbed both his and (Y/N)'s hands to steer them toward the restaurant. "Thanks, Iguro-san!"

After the three sat down and ordered their meals, it wasn't long before the orders came out. (Y/N) was satisfied with her one bowl of udon, Obanai refused to remove the bandages around his mouth and instead opted to just feed his snake, and Mitsuri seemed to order the whole restaurant. While everyone else around them gawked at her, her two companions merely went on like normal. After all, (Y/N) already knew this about Mitsuri.
