???? POV
"And that's my report for the mission last night, Kagaya-san"
The man with the Kitsune mask finished giving his reports to the Demon Slayer Corps leader, Kagaya Ubuyashiki. The man himself didn't kneel on one knee like most Demon Slayers were while Kagaya is present, but he simply sat next to him and chit-chatting like he's a close friend rather than a leader. Kagaya himself doesn't mind this man's action, in fact, he looks rather comfortable.
"Thank you for your hard work as always, Mikazuki-Kun. Although I would greatly appreciate it if you didn't attack your comrades" Kagaya replied as he gave the man with Kitsune mask, Mikazuki his usual amount of money.
"Please call me Mizu, Kagaya-san. And about the attack, I think it's their fault for not knowing about me. Any hostile human is another food supply for me after all" Mizu replied casually after receiving the money.
"I'll keep that in mind, Mizu-Kun. Anyway, Since I have a meeting to hold, you are hereby dismissed"
"Alright. See U later"
And with that, Mizu left the room. He also decides to keep Kitsu in sleep mode since it's daytime, thus revealing his face.
Mizu skin color is pale white, although not so pale like a corpse. He had short, clean-cut brown hair and possesses a pair of sky blue pupils with an even lighter blue in his slitted iris, the sole prove to show that he's in fact, an Oni. Mizu didn't consider himself as attractive or good-looking, although the swooning of several females, Mizunoto ranked Demon Slayers proved otherwise.
However, he purposefully avoids those Demon Slayers Kagaya called Comrade, because he's fully aware of how big the prejudice against Demons is inside the corps. He manages to get informed about a pair of siblings that recently joined the corps, although one of them, unfortunately, becomes a Demon. The Kakushi who informed him this also tells that almost half of the hashiras (pillars) initially reject the demon. However, he chooses not to dwell onto the news further.
On the way back home, He suddenly remembered something vital.
"Hmm...my stock of dried humans is decreasing, so I guess it's time to hunt for some" Mizu thinks to himself as he set off to a village.
(At Village)
Hiding under shadows, Mizu walked onto a store he frequently visits. He did this to not drawing unnecessary attention towards himself. Beside, the sun is really hot today despite it's almost evening.
Not long after, he finally found the market and quickly head to the shop he frequently visits.
"Ah, welcome dear customer! Anything I could help you with?" The shop owner greets Mizu cheerily. The shop owner is a middle-aged woman with a lively smile and overall a good businesswoman as she sells only fresh ingredients.
"Ah, I would like the usual spices please" Mizu replied as he gave the money to the shop owner.
"Are you sure to not try other spices? Maybe Galangal? Lemongrass? Saffron?" The shop owner asked Mizu.
"Saffron? Isn't that the spices from a continent called India?" Mizu asked
"You surely know a lot, dear customer. It apparently good for health, although it's quite pricey since it's quite rare" The owner looks impressed by Mizu deduction.
"Like Blue Spider Lily?"
"Excuse me?"
"N-nevermind. I'll try it please" Mizu said awkwardly. He berates himself for leaking out some unnecessary pieces of information.
