"Why does he have to be hot?!" you muttered under your breath, glaring at the way Sanemi prowled around like a storm in human form.
"…I'm going to visit my brother," yoriichi said voice casual as if nothing was happening but he seemed jealous.
"Koko?" You asked, peeking at hi. from the floor.
"Yes… Bye, dear," he said with a wave.
"Bye, pookie" you replied
Mitsuri, still blushing, stared at Sanemi like he was a rare collectible, her cheeks dusted pink, eyes sparkling. "Ohhh… those scars make Shinazugawa look even more handsome!!" she whispered, sounding like someone who just saw a limited-edition Hello Kitty sword.
"Go on, say that again, kid! 'She can fight demons as a demon slayer'? Isn't that what you said? You know what we call that?! BEING COMPLETELY OUT OF YOUR MIND, YOU IDIOT!" Sanemi was absolutely fuming after what Tanjiro did.
"The Master will come at any minute! Ease down this at once!" someone shouted, trying to restore order.
Pfft. You didn’t ease down. You were angry at Sanemi and, honestly, you were also feeling a little dramatic energy you just needed to release. So, you did what any chaotic, justice-driven hero would do. You hit Sanemi in the crotch like you were delivering divine justice straight from the heavens. WHAM.
He dropped the box. And then dropped to his knees.
"TAKE THAT!" you shouted triumphantly, feeling like a champion.
"You touched the child!" someone yelled, probably Tengen.
Sanemi wheezed, clutcing himself. "Owwww! Why did you...why did you do that?!"
You blinked. "...Ah-you speak English?!"
"Answer me!" He snapped again, voice sharp.
Mitsuri snickered behind her hand.
"I… excuse me!" Sanemi barked, still red in the face.
"I’M GONNA KILL YOU-!" he started, but before he could finish, a new voice cut through the chaos.
"The Master of the mansion has returned."
Instantly, the atmosphere shifted. Everyone hit the floor like NPCs in a game, silent and perfectly obedient. Everyone except you and Tanjiro, of course.
'Why is he hot-?' you thought, glancing up with all the casual audacity in the world.
SMACK. Tanjiro got suplexed into the ground by Sanemi, grumbling as he bounced slightly on the floor.
Rengoku stepped forward politely but firmly, pressing your back down. "Respect, Miss Y/N," he said.
"Okay, okay, damn 😭 my bad," you muttered, a little embarrassed but mostly impressed with the timing of the Master’s arrival.
"My beloved children… I thank you for coming here this day. Good morning to you all. The weather is strikingly nice today. Perhaps with a blue sky?" The Master’s voice was smooth, like honey,
"Yes indeed, Master. I'm pleased to see you in good health as well. I fervently pray for your continued good fortune," someone replied, probably Rengoku, bowing deeply.
You peeked up from the ground, thinking, 'Ain't no way someone that soft-spoken just shut up a whole room of assassins with one vibe check.'
Kagaya turned toward the Hashira and asked, "Before we start the meeting… would you kindly enlighten me about this young swordsman right here, who appears to be accompanied by a demon? The Corps' mission is to end demons… not befriend them."
"I ask to punish Kamado, L/N, and Tomioka," someone yelled, probably Sanemi again.
'EXCUSE ME?!' you thought, nearly choking on air.
"You do have a point… But Tanjiro Kamado has met Kibutsuji. Face to face," Kagaya continued calmly.
Everyone exploded. "What?! IMPOSSIBLE!"
Sanemi suddenly yanked Tanjiro around like a chew toy, his face red with rage. "What was Kibutsuji doing?! Did you find his stronghold?! Did you fight him?!"
"Did he look like a villain oR-?! HEY!!!ANSWER ME!"
Kagaya raised one hand, and instantly the room fell silent again, like they had all been unplugged from reality.
'Am I invisible?!' you thought.
…Oh. They were still talking.
You turned to Rengoku, who was already looking down at you, smiling like a proud golden retriever. 'So precious…'
You blushed and looked away, immediately strategizing. 'Oh yeah plan to save him. I need to talk to Kagaya. Like those Wattpad stories where they tell him the future and he's like "ah yes, time traveler." That's my angle. I got this. Good thing I watched Demon Slayer before I got isekai’d here like a literal meme.'
Back to the trial. Sanemi stepped forward again, this time slicing his own arm in front of Nezuko's box. Drip. Drip. Blood. Drama.
Now we wait, you thought, leaning over slightly. 'Ok, ok Nezuko's about to have the long flashback… I wanna time skip this so bad right now.'
You closed your eyes dramatically, imagining the perfect cinematic timing.
When you opened them, Tanjiro was still sprawled on the floor, groaning softly. Nezuko’s box trembled, her small hands tapping gently inside, almost as if she were signaling encouragement.
Mitsuri peeked out from behind her hands, sparkling like she was watching the season finale of a soap opera. "Y/N's energy is… wow. It’s kinda weird...but cute. Maybe she likes mochi?"
Tengen leaned against his sword, one brow raised, clearly evaluating you. "She's unhinged, flashy, loud… either she’s going to fail spectacularly or be the greatest warrior ever. No in-between."
Muichiro blinked slowly, lost in thought or maybe space. "She talks weird. And loud. Kinda like a crow " he muttered.
Rengoku’s eyes literally sparkled. "What spirit! Such bravery! Her words, her confidence… 'ice skates'… a strange yet honorable declaration."
Obanai glared at you as if you’d personally insulted his snake. "Why isn’t she tied up like the others? Why does she behave so casually?"
Gyomei let out a quiet sigh, tears forming. "So young… already forced to bear such weight. May she be protected in this cruel world."
Shinobu’s polite smile didn’t hide her calculating eyes. "Clearly not trained, not from here… but confident. That could be dangerous… or extremely useful."
Sanemi, still muttering curses, grumbled, "I swear, if she says one more thing..-"
You sneezed, brushing off your sleeves casually. "Bless me."
The silence shattered, and Tanjiro’s eyes begged you silently, 'Please don’t make this worse.' But Nezuko tapped gently, like she agreed with you anyway. Even Tomioka gave a subtle glance, curious.
Maybe, just maybe, this trial wasn’t going to go the way the Hashira thought. And neither were you.
Hi so I'm sorry for the short chapter again I'm busy I just returned from school at like 10am...and I'm thinking about changing more and more of the plot...like you don't get to stay at shinobu like the others I'm thinking about choosing another hashira but you will heal st shinobu's then you'll go to train with the hashira that'll be chosen next chapter... Bye
