The Dreaming Pillar ✩ Kimetsu no Yaiba

✨Twenty-Seventh Dream✨

"Good job Tanjiro-kun!" Shinobu appeared behind him, clapping her hands together as she smiled. "You actually mastered Full Focus Breaths!" she praised, turning to the other two who stood in disbelief.

"........."

"Tanjiro-kun understood the concept of Full Focus Breaths and by doing so, he greatly increased his stamina." Shinobu smiled as she explained to them. "It's a simple but rudimentary technique. It's only reasonable to be able to do it but it takes a considerable amount of effort."

Still smiling, Shinobu walked over to, Inosuke, placing a hand on his shoulder.

"Well if you can't do it then there's nothing we can do." she said. "It'll be a shame though, I bet (Y/n)-chan will be really disappointed though."

"OF COURSE I CAN DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS!" Inosuke yelled. "(Y/m/n)-san believes in me too!!" he said, his competitive spirit resurfacing.

"Please do you best Zenitsu-kun, I'll be cheering you on the most." Shinobu walked over to Zentisu, holding his hand in hers. "(Y/n)-chan is also looking forward to your success."

"OF COURSE!" his face red, yelling happily at how Shinobu held his hand and the fact you (did not) support him.

"How does it taste (Y/n)-chan?!" Mitsuri asked excitedly as you stared at the sakura mochi which you held in your hand, a bite mark was there as you chewed the food.

"Sweet," you thought. "Too sweet in fact."

You parted your lips to say something before closing it as you shot Obanai a look. He looked back at you with eyes saying. "Just say it's good and complain in a nicer way."

How did you get here again? Right, after (the following day) your conversation with Muichirou, Mitsuri had invited you and Obanai to her place to try some of the sakura mochi she made with a slightly altered recipe.

You looked back at Obanai with eyes that told him. "You better give me some (F/f) for this."

"Well (Y/n)-chan, how does it taste?" she waited in excitement for your answer.

You looked over to Obanai who gave you a discreet nod.

"It's good." you told her, taking another bite. "Though I think you added a bit too much sugar."

"I thought so too." she smiled. "But well I made a bit too much so I'd like you to have some." she brought out countless containers with the sakura mochi inside as you stared at her.

"This is not your normal definition of a bit." you thought and was about to voice out your thoughts, only to remember your deal with Obanai. "I'll take a box or two then and share it with Muichirou."

"Yay!" she rejoiced, happy to be the reason you and Muichirou spend time together. "You should take some too Iguro-san!" she beamed happily, passing Obanai a container.

"Thank you Kanroji." she smiled wider at his thanks as she got up.

"Well I should share this with Shinobu-chan and the others! Bye!"

"It's too sweet." you stated, almost taking a sip of the tea Mitsuri prepared before putting it down, remembering your Anemia.

"Agreed." he nodded despite taking another piece of sakura mochi, looking away as he ate it.

"What are you looking away for?" you always did wonder what he had to hide under that mask of his.

"It's nothing." he replied as you sighed, deciding not to press the matter further.
