City Misadventures

The large urban look and feel to the city really stood out as beautiful to you, despite it being a freezing -2°C the city gave off a really warm feeling, despite it snowing. It was a week and a half until Christmas, people were strangely stocking up with chicken to eat (this is a reference to Japan in the 1970s, a tradition held when KFC promoted the bucket of Chickens, it has now become a tradition to eat KFC on Christmas and people even order months in preparation to secure a meal in time for Christmas).

"Iguro-san, look at that" a girl with pink that faded to green hair spoke, she had a childish voice, the person who she was talking to was a young man wearing a mask, he had heterochromia eyes, with his right eye being yellow and his other being turquoise, as mentioned by the lady his named appeared to be Iguro, he was wearing a mask and even had a snake.

Together they kind of stick out like a sore thumb, the swords they carried just came to your attention, they weren't wearing the uniform, maybe they're just plain samurai, but that's unlikely, they look professional, but not professional enough to receive government attention, taking a gamble into making new potential acquaintances you tried to strike a conversation.

"Sorry to disturb you, but I was wondering... if you are fellow demon slayers?" you said with a high level of formality

"Yes... we are," Iguro said showing no signs of respect or the potential of becoming acquaintances, you became disappointed and let down.

"Now don't be like that Iguro-san. He just wants to make friends, he even is a demon slayer like us, we don't have to keep secrets" the lady said, you were like complete polar opposites from her, she was like a child who was compassionate to everyone, whilst you show more mature and often hated most who annoyed you even in the slightest. "What's your name?" she said with a smile.

"I am Tomioka (Y/N), I became a demon slayer around 2 and a half years ago, and I became the blood hashira only around 6 months ago, it is a pleasure to meet you" you bowed

"It is a pleasure to meet you too, my name is Kanroji Mitsuri, this man here is Obanai Iguro, we too are hashiras, love and snake hashira to be exact"

'Love and snake hashira, a bit unusual' you thought, completely forgetting that a blood and insect hashira exists.

"Mitsuri!" Obanai whisper yelled "please don't associate yourselves to strange people"

"Iguro-san, don't be mean! He must be very skilled to be a hashira at his age" she scolded Obanai for being mean "hey Tomioka-kun, are you on a mission like us?" you nodded in reply "that's great, you can help us then" Mitsuri said with a closed eye smile much of Obanai's dismay.

Walking through the snow and occasionally getting weird stares either because of the swords or the cheery and happy nature of Mitsuri drawing attention, or it could be her hair or the snake.

"Say, Obanai-san" Obanai didn't turn to face you "is that your pet snake?"

"Good observation"

"What's his name?" Obanai just gave you dirty look and walked ahead

"His name is apparently Kaburamaru, apparently he can help Iguro-san in battle"

"Mitsuri!" Obanai scolded her for revealing more information about him

"Sorry" she replied

The snow falling from the sky seems to get stronger, ambient noises are dampened by the snow, it was almost peaceful.

"Did you guys find any information about the demon that supposedly lives in this city?"

"So far nothing, we only got here late last night" Obanai willingly talked to you this time, that's progress.
