ACT 2 - 3
Hello! everyone. How's your week!
I'm glad to finish the side story of Mitsuri. I have to say I feel very satisfied to make a solid background for her, even it's somehow from my imagination. As I sais my reason was I felt like I wanna have a spotlight for her as well as her relationship with Rengoku family because it's omitted in manga.
Author's note
1.I've decided to change the story's name into Sweet and Savory as I felt it could connect to their lift in the past era to their lift in the new reincarnation in the modern era.
2. This enhances the relationship between Mitsuri and Kyojuro in the past before she end up being a demon slayer.
3. As I stated in this story in rate M, for safe and future plot and tendency to be more adult theme. I intent to create it as only content for fun reading, never mean to use it to express any offense or any negativity. IF in future Act and chap, you found some detail that dissatisfied you, you could direct message to me personally.
Enjoy and Have fun!

ACT 2 - 3
"When do you realise you want to be demon slayers. Mitsuri-san?" Senjuro asked her with frowned brows in wonder.
Her eyes widened without any reason, her head tried to catch the answer. The question from the young boy rang something in her head, knocking a deep part that she covered it for a long time. Mitsuri parted her lip but no sound came out, lost in thought. She can't help that unexplained strange feeling in her head sticking to her reaction. It popped up as if Senjuro opened a hidden box.
"Er… er….. " Mitsuri tried to inject her smile into her feature. "If you don't want to answer, it's.. it's okay, Mitsuri-san. I just want to hear your experience and your story" young Rengoku explained uneasy.
It brought her back to the past, several years and months and days; at the point she's still a normal girl, living a normal life and never imagined she could develop into a new current version of her now and at the point where she remembered well but didn't want to think of it anymore because she started the new lift and wanted to throw the past away.
It appeared one night. When she wanted to do something that she never did or expected her to do. The moon rose up after the sun left the sky. The sky was tinted from orange to dark tone and it finally became dark. Later on, the star decorated the black canvas.
The sound of cricket could be heard in the field. Firefly moved and lit up.
It's dark, almost midnight now. Everybody went back to their own house to have a good sleep, warm blanket and delicious meal as routine life of ordinary people. Some local people in each region always taught their children to go back home before midnight in order to have them recognize dangerous things could appear at night. Demon became one of coinage and jargon to all of them to have children fear and prepare to go back home not so late or prepare to be careful when walking out in the dark.
The night was silent but a scraping sound of a pair of feet running through the leaves and bushes, one body was running through the darkness in the forest. Why does a girl need to go out alone at this time?No fear of midnight tales or any dangers, no one could answer.
Her long braided pink hair with a tip of green, swaying by her motion. She wore a normal white basic kimono for sleeping, moved her legs continuously, ran in the middle of forest as well as a sniffing sound. Sound of hiccup left her lip and tear stinging at the corner of her eyes, she's crying. A cry of frustration and gloom at the same time.
She tried to tighten her lip into a flat line to stifle her cry but it fail. She sucked her teeth to restrict her cry but it can't.
This girl is named Kanroji Mitsuri.
She ran out from the house, gritting her teeth in frustration. Her face twisted into a mixture of sorrow and frustration. Need a space to rethink something around her life. Need to get off her boiling stream out of her head. Her feet drew her non-stopped out of the house without listening to protests and calling from her family and a drop of tear popped at the corner of her green eyes as she cannot suppress it anymore.
For the time being, Kanroji Mitsuri was born and brought up in a happy family. She lived a very joyful life since she was young. Her life's normal, mixture of good and bad as one normal girl growing up, learning life and trying to find meaning in her life.
Until one moment in her childhood, she unknowingly lifted up a heavy boulder with her bare hand innocently at the front of house and showed it to her mother because she tried to find something heavy to put down on a pile of old newspaper. It was when her parents freaked out, took her to have a doctor checked and acknowledged that her body possessed special functions which were not similar to ordinary people. Her body was composed with density of muscle in high degree even though it looked not huge from the outside. It made her have high food appetite because she had to consume a lot of energy so she needed to eat a much proportion of food per meal and per day and what's more, it granted her to have super strength.
'why am I too strong?' young Mitsuri spoke innocently.
'But I never hurted anyone and I love eating! I love eating sweets!' Young Mitsuri sincerely confessed to her whole family who gasped by her innocent confession.
She's different but she's finding every happiness in her life and puts a smile everyday. Her family took her words and treated her the same, raised her well as one happy family and a tiny hope to instruct her as much as her parents could do in order to fit her into society. With her family background provided her many things to make her perfect: education, crafting, western cooking class which she's into it the most. Mitsuri was able to prop herself with a proper quality that a decent woman in that time should have.
She grew up to be a decent woman as society at that time preferred and considered her as a decent woman.
Her fairytale became more realistic when she grew older and became a teen Mitsuri. There was matchmaking that many girls were dying for: should be fun, love in the air, butterflies in stomach and made your heart beating like a drum, pounding like a thunder and rhyming in fantastic music.
These were notions before she entered this stage because when she joined it by the request of her family. As her parents were afraid of what she'll be in future and woman had to marry a man to live for which was a social value in that time toward woman.
She had no problem with it when her family advised her to take in the matchmaking tradition. She as the normal girl, wanted to love and be loved by someone. How it feel to have someone beside you, grew old together, have kids together, oh god, Only thinking could make her heart beat in the anticipation of having marriage.
It appeared upside-down. A fairy tale's burning into ashes.
After several men witnessed her unique character, some picked on her color. Some picked on her eating habit. Some picked on her strength. They came up with many insult to her and it all wounded her mind severely. She even tried to dye her hair black but that man still saw no good on her.
"A woman like you should marry off to a cow or horse.."
Despite trying to shrug off and leave the past behind, Mitsuri still could hear these curses, condemn and scold those men clearly. It's not a little tiny problem for a girl to come across these awful situations where she got verbal hates from them. It'd dragged her down to the pit of sorrow and despair. Because as living in a tight-knotted community, those men would converse about her story and spread it and it affected her parents to face all gossipings.
She cannot hold it anymore today after getting rejection and swearing and humiliated to her. She cannot hold it anymore. Running out of the house, Mitsuri just wanted to escape from reality and time to sort her lift by putting off notions of 'new matchmaking', 'one man would fell in love to you' and 'let's prepare for the next'
Mitsuri had no idea how far she ran. Her bare feet hurt after stepping on the rock, stick and leaves on the ground. But it was not as hurtful as the matchmaking. Until she heard a voice of cricket, soft bath of grasses under her bare feet, smell of water and rice on the plantation field.
Not leave a room for her to think, hearing a cry from someone around here, Mitsuri was startle with eep as a fear of ghost then flicked her eyes automatically and saw a group of people; someone's on the cart and someone pushing it from behind in haste and looked worried on something behind their back.
What are they doing now? she thought and halt her step to look at them, wipe her own tears.
Mitsuri found two figures in a black uniform with a cloth covering their lower face; they were not the cart and tried to push it from behind. On the cart, supposedly a family, there was an old man trying to work on his old caw to walk forward, an old woman sat fidgetly beside him with two kids in her hug - their cart was trapped and tried to pull the cart out of a mud pit. Those two children who looked frightened on something, hugging together and then walked down to help three black uniform men push the cart out, not listening to the protest of their parents..
"Hello, do you need any help? what're you guys doing here? it's nighttime" Mitsuri called, stood still when they all turned their eyes to her.
"Little miss, that's my line what're you doing here alone in night time. You know it's dangerous outside like this in the nighttime." One uniform man shouted to her in haste till she almost cannot catch his voice properly. Another man in uniform spoke "Little miss, you came here. We're gonna protect you then escort you home!"
"Then I will help you guys first, I think you need some help," She hurried to them, had no idea what they meant by the danger's around here. They refused her help but she resisted.
"No, I can help! you all seemed to be in trouble so how can I let you do it all alone," Mitsuri reached behind the cart without paying attention to their protest. She signals them to the cart as she's ready to pull it up "We're gonna help them first and I'll back home by myself"
"It's our duty, you don't have to little miss!"
"It's your duty but I also want to help them too. I could not stand and see an old man and little children in trouble like this" Mitsuri answered expressively and smiled at the little kid who turned to her, a soft look on their face with a trace of tear seeping at the corner of their eyes.
This scene moved her heart. She wants to see them having a happy ride at night, going back home to get a good dinner and decent sleep with their little children. They're saying thank you continually to those who stood under the cart.
Mitsuri snapped out of her mind "Alright, let's count three and we will lift it up together" two uniform men nodded and confirmed her easily, a bit confused why she turned to give them an order which should be them giving her.
"One.. Two… Three! come on guys!" With her sole strength, the cart's lift up from a mud pit easily till the uniform men were startled at the same time with wide eyes and unbelievable expressions. Mitsuri let out a victorious cry as same as the kids on the cart. She wore the happy feature finally when she could help someone and saw their happiness. Everything's all set for their departure.
"Thank you little miss! we would not have done it if we didn't have you right here Thank you!" another one said "Yeah yeah, you helped us! you're over and their savior. You are sure stronger than your look is! That's terrific!" Mitsuri's stunted by their praise. Two uniform men circled around her, clasped her hand, shook slightly as they said thank. What's struck to her was the way they applauded her strength while there was a sound of old carriage in the background.
Mitsuri was put in the happy confusion and delightful conflict because she didn't know how to react. They never judged her poorly, even after they saw her sole strength, lifting a old heavy cart
"We're so useless to you! you're the one lift it up, little miss. You're really strong thank you again and I think I'm gonna get back and start to build my body and muscle up!" Mitsuri lost her words by their positive reaction to her. Blinking multiple times, Mitsuri still heard their praise on her strength. It earned her a shock. And them, with unknown energy, her lip slowly curled into a smile.
"You also did it too! not only me, thank you"
"It's actually your little miss. You know, we tried to pull up several minutes before you came here. Oh god, I can't imagine if we didn't meet here" one man said, hard and heavy breath.
"If we don't get your help, I don't know how long we are able to get through it" another man nodded to her.
"I-I am helpful to you?" Mitsuri scrunched her face in thought and in hesitance
"Absolutely yes!"
All of sudden, an awful and deadly screech fuming behind them all. Later was a hard stomp crushing wood piece aloud, intruding through sticks and trees to their direction. A low groan and growl hissed throughout the dark area far behind from them but the eerie atmosphere shot through their skin and bone.
They all gulped down a heavy one. Lip went dried suddenly and parted by sinking feelings. All nerves danced through the system and alerted to the incoming threat. Goosebumps appeared and hair stood slowly as something slowly crept toward them, a shadowy figure moved his body in strange composition to them.
It stopped as if knowing someone's looking at, wobbled left to right, shruggled. The sound of it inhaling loud and it screamed grotesquely out to warn the onlookers that it's pissed off now. Its sound sent a dangerous sign to them, it vibrated all their five senses to be stirred in fear. There was a flash of mental note appearing on their eyes that something danger lurked to them but their feet were glued in place.
It leap forward very fast, able to approach them in a second from a distance. Oh god, Mitsuri gasped in shock. What's it, what the hell is it. She cannot answer at that time being because she never saw a person like this one, in front of her eyes. Practically, it used to be a person, a normal one. Now visually, it cannot be.
This figure in this context could not be called a normal person. Its face and body were deformed and morphed into a crippled and strange shape that everyone had to feel a tinge of fearsome automatically; its head swelled into a bulb in oval shape with a lines of vein, its hand hanging down because that's a part of tentacled which moved like it's living. It had red oval eyes which moved to monitor each one of its prey and fixed on two children on the cart sharply and mouth like a peak of a bird but it was long and made up from exoskeleton substance, opened slightly to let them see hundreds of shape teeth and three long and lean tongues.
Mitsuri parted her lip from witnessing such a creature. She never came across this kind of creature before. What is it? but no words coming out due to her shock and looked in disbelief. She turned to uniform men and found them having a hard time regaining their sense. Pointing a finger at that creature, trampling with wide eyes opened and a fear in dialites.
"It's back! It's fucking back!" They shouted and the family on the cart also gasped by what they discovered.
"That demon's coming back! We have to hurry" One uniform man ran and pushed the cart in haste in order to let them go at high speed to get past here quickly. They acted very alarmed as if trying to find a way out as soon as possible. The thing that they referred to as Demon padded across to them, each stomp was heavy, carrying a long tentacle with slim substance over it. Mitsuri stepped back and saw a previously chaotic scene again while the wobbly walking figure got near them.
"Get them for safety!"
It stopped screeching and said "Kid! I want kid meat!" slow but loudly, jumped forward with a superhuman leap. Its body floated in the air above them, stretched its long tentacle backward, ready to hit and charge its prey with a deadly grip, prepare to trash, munch and mince its meat. two kids who now went crying in misery while their parents tried to get their vehicle moving fast and forward which looked in vain.
They closed their eyes but the time passed and the clock ticked. They started opening their eyes and peering back with a fear to see what's happening there, why it took so long to feel death.
During the life and death situation, they knew well they had no experience in fighting and no weapon to fight back so they tried to resolve things by their own way. What they never expected was,All of them saw, a pink haired girl grabbed a tip of long tentacles tightly, held it still till it struck the air.
"Don't hurt them! they.. they're my friend!" She pulled it backward with her bare hand and pure strength, slamming its tentacles down, thrashing its body back, forcing its cry in pain and finally she sent it flying to collide with several trees. The dust and wood pieces rose up from several directions. The sound of splinter went loud and settled down only panting sound from her lip.
They remained standing in shock by the unexpected help from her. She who could rival the strength of the demon and could throw the demon out with her bare hand, was there before their eyes.
Mitsuri was, in fact, afraid, her leg cannot stand still and calm, it's shaky by the fear but her heart drove her to do it, to help them when they needed the help. She can't let them have it. The proud feeling from helping friends stepped into her mind. She looked at them and beaconed them to carry the cart on "Hurry up, guys!"
The shadow leaping up in the air in the same manner, appeared on the dark sky in full moon night. Its long tentacles curl up as to land a critical hit in one point and one time to all of them. The tentacles seemed to grow bigger into a large one and there were several cracks on its skin that allowed small tentacles to grow on its and the spike propping along its line.
"Eep!" Mitsuri squeaked and also made them alarmed as they followed her glance.
It developed itself for full combat. Its body reshaped into a bigger one with an exoskeleton outline on its body as if wearing armor.
It landed on the ground and jumped high to them again with its power of leg muscle that offered it with the ability to leap very far as normal humans and animals hardly could do.
"Demon could regenerate and develop its body and it's not easily defeated! if we had a sword, at least we could fight back and aim its head! point blank death for sure!"
"Head?" Mitsuri repeated after them in thought. What if she could break its neck? It looked like its neck lind was thin and then whoop? We're all safe.
Mitsuri inhaled. stood and faced that squid-like demon face-face. She made a position for her to dodge and ready to grab its neck and break it, that's her move to encounter it.
The demon slammed its whip down ferociously. Mitsuri dodged clumsily and screamed. It never waited for her to recover her step from nearly falling down, made a second move faster than she thought. It flipped its large tentacle and swung it aiming to a group at the cart. That's its target.
With that swift attack, they witnessed a pink haired girl use herself as a shield. She earned a hard smash on her abdomen and used that chance to grab a hold of that deadly tentacle, trying to hold it back in order to let them escape as well as the family.
She cried from pain but willed herself up.
"I'm not gonna let you.."
Mitsuri felt pain, Ugh its force could whip her skin and broke into several pieces. No, I can't let it go on. Mitsuri made up her mind, willed herself to the peak point, swallowed all pains and hurtful attacks. All she had done was only grabbing its tentacle to hold its movement.
The squid-like demon struck her with a jab on her face and with her slow reaction, it thrashed her with no mercy and beat her once till she fell down hopelessly and cannot stand a chance against it even if she could catch one tentacle and lock it still.
Each spike penetrated on her skin when she grabbed a hold on its tentacle, its eyes were coated with anger and opened its mouth wide to chop her down in one bite.
Mitsuri's leg was trampled by pain, several wounds and bruises but still managed to stand and catch it to hold it back as much as she could. "I will not let you hurt people" she spoke softly from her dried lip and throat.
That moment, her mind war nearly blurred but still saw it opened her mouth so wide, she could count every tooth on it. Those long sharp teeth looked very dangerous and their teeth was yellowish and dark and smelled stinky. No, it's not a time to think of it. That's only thought she can get from this situation. Mitsuri closed her eyes and her heart's beating heavier like a drum for fear of her life gonna end here.
There was a sudden flare of a heating wave whirling and swirling around her, a strand of hair blowing from hot wind which was contrary to the chill breeze at midnight.
"Alright, you can open your eyes" A man's voice rang to her ear, he's not far from her as she took a guess.
Then a sound of painful cry gained her attention and it was definitely from a demon, a loud squeak that could shiver your spine faded slowly and no sound left as if it voice was cut before going up along its neck.
The tentacle slipped and dropped loud from her hold easily like it had no nerve to control it anymore. Mitsuri's body was still trampled and opened her eyes in hesitation.
Mitsuri found the demon's head, cut out from its body as the dark red liquid splashed over its corpse. And then its body gradually degenerated into ashes and disappeared. Her eyes moved lingerly from lack of energy and will to stand up to a man next to its body.
He stood before her bravely and remained in a graceful stance holding his sword with two hands, after seeing the body of the demon dispersed in the air. He moved, kept the long katana in the shaft in a click sound. She saw the long white cape with a brim of flame decoration hovering from the wind and it dropped down gracefully.
He's taller than her and had a well-built body which looked very majestic with the long cape and had distinctive yellow hair with a tip of red color. He looked back at her with that warm smile and focused eyes.
"You have many wounds" Mysterious swordsman turned to her, gave a nod and smiled to her, very warm.
She's stunned for a while from seeing his handsome face from a sideline and his radiation of bright like a flame in a dark night. Mitsuri dumbly blinked her eyes, mouth hung low and shook her head "That ..ar .. that.. ar" finding it's hard to express to him.
He turned his body and walked toward her. Mitsuri tried to inject a normal tone into her voice "I think I'm okay.. thank you, sir for saving me." Despite the fact that her legs slowly went limp and her body felt very weak, she managed to stand up properly as he crossed his chest and checked on her, even if he could know at first glance that she's in a lot of pain but she tried to restrain from bruises and wounds.
"Hmm..I don't think so" He said, craning his neck in an attempt to check her.
Finally her body went dull and weightless, going against her will, Mitsuri felt she'd going to fall down very miserable like a potato sack. However, he slipped his hand and caught her body at the right time, holding her up in bridal style, which she dreamed for at her wedding and it came true now.
Even though she felt nothing, only pain. But color was able to express itself on her face. She screamed inside and screamed in untranslatable word.
"Aha! I think you need a help"
Her mouth asked silly "Am I not heavy?"
Yellow haired man looked at her in puzzle "Hm.. no you're not heavy! Look I can carry you very fine!" He confirmed "And I can carry you with one hand look!" He demonstrated and it earned her laughter. He smiled at her as she did the same to him, even her stature just went ragged from a fight.
"Thank you, sir"
"I have to thank you for saving my comrade and saving people. You should have my praise. Thank you. I'm grateful for you help and.. I'm Kyojuro, Rengoku Kyojuro a flame pillar from Demon Slayer Crops. I'm glad to meet a brave, strong and kind heart person like you" the man named Kyojuro expressed openly to her with his eager determination. As she heard, a smile went wider. Today's a very best of best day in her life. Having several people recognized on her.
"I'm Kanroji..Mitsuri.. I though I want to help them but it turned out me having beaten up and saved by you"
"I appreciate your sacrifice and I think.. hey are you okay? I think we should treat her wound" Mitsuri fainted and not responded to him within his hold.
Kyojuro shifted her body in an attempt to see her clearly. He found her face rested on his chest, eyes closed and her breath was low and fatigue. He found many wounds and bruises along her body, fortunately it's not vital but as a normal person, who obtained this much injury was quite hard enough.
Mitsuri moved her body and found a warm and dense but soft blanket covering her and it was really good. When moving the body in this gave the most comfortable moment. One thing struck her head, why there were pangs of pain when moving..Ouch ouch I'd better not move or else my wound's worse. Wound she repeated and jerked awake in a very harsh reflexive reaction.
She remembered well she should not have been in the warm blanket because that night and that demon what's it now. She jerked awake very fast and the surprised noise followed but it's not from her.
"Eh….Eh..." Mitsuri's eyes widened as same as the size of egg and looking around, it's morning and she's in a room before her eyes fixed on three people beside her futon.
She found three men with identical shapes of hair, eyes and color looking back at her in one attention. They all blinked in mild shock but There, she found the one who rescued her and also found her body's warped in bandage till she hardly noticed her skin.
"Oh you woke up" He said and the rest of his family still focused on her.
"You..you're .. Rengoku-san" Mitsuri said and recalled memories from last night - that meant he actually helped her and he must be the one who took her here. She mumbled from a slight pain as she couldn't move her body easily.
He nodded back to her "Hai I am! it seems you still remembered things from last night so I took liberty to take you here to treat your wound at my family estate and don't worry we asked auntie from neighbor to change your cloth and worked on your wounds" Kyojuro clarified as eager as he was normally.
"May I introduce you my otousan, Rengoku Shinjuro and here's my little brother Rengoku Senjuro. We were so worried about you last night that's why we almost didn't sleep ha-ha. By the way, nice to meet you again in a good circumstance Kanroji Mitsuri,isn't it as demon hunters told me your name" She thought back to two black uniform man and mumbled in her throat hmm.. they're demon hunters? aren't they?
"Hai, I am Kanroji Mitsuri and thank you Rengoku-san and thank you to Shinjurou-sama and Senjuro-kun too for helping me. I might cause you all trouble last night, I'm terribly sorry" They expressed a kind of don't worry to her as they saw a girl that Kyojuro rescued from last night seemed doing fine now.
"One thing's in my concern is…" Kyojuro started with a hint of importance. Mitsuri paused and watched him intently and then "We don't know how to braid your hair.. we'd been tried but it's not working" he laughed and followed with both members behind him as well as scratching his head. Mitsuri noticed her hair that drop down and long naturally and said "it's okay thank you for everything I never imagined you tried to braid it!"
"It's not, I have to praise your brave and kind-heart to help all of them or else they'd get slaughtered by that demon" Kyojuro still made a firm voice to her.
"Ac-actually you don't have to worry about it ha-ha I don't want to trouble you all again. For all of these was enough and I am also glad to meet good and strong people like you all" Mitsuri said.
"At least, let us take care of you first because you're our guest. Oh I don't know is it a right time to throw this question to you but I'm enticed by your strength, brave and kind-heart.. if you want to be stronger, able to help people from demons.." Kyojuro stuttered slightly as he expressed "you can tell me because I'm looking to have a student whom heart's brazing by the fire and shining and ready to protect people and eliminate demon for our good world" Kyojuro said eagerly as he crossed his arm on his chest "And I think you could be that one because I have a gut that you have that quality and would do best in future alongside me. You beat and held that demon with your bare hand! that's really cool of you! that's why I feel like you could make a good one"
Blinking, her face showed several emotions within a minute as he started and continued to express his idea on her training and how to master in using swords to exterminate demons like him. There was a flash of excitement that appeared on his features when he explained.
Mitsuri blinked in confusion by his words as she felt overwhelmed by his openness and frank comment on her. He referred to when she fought demons with her bare hand, that meant he knew about her strength but why did he still treat her the same? like normal woman.
"I..I can be useful? I can use my strength to help people?"
"Absoloutely! you can do it! And believe me, you aren't strange in my eyes but you're a normal girl with strong heart"
The feeling of acceptance showered on her and it felt like this. Her mind swelling and brooming, Mitsuri repeated and repeated his words inside her head. Even his father and little brother also made a positive comment on her, which cheered her up a lot. She felt very warm and felt very open because she lift up her facade; the worrisome when the other would judge her out of her system now.
She nodded as to admit from their comment on her bravery and strength. Mitsuri admitted she felt very comfortable around him and his family. Her face lit up and relaxed into her natural smile. Kyojuro noted on her change and nodded to her with his usual smile.
"I think it's time for breakfast. Let's have breakfast together! I'm super hungry now!" Kyojuro announced and drew attention in the room. When they made a move to prepare breakfast and table, Mitsuri still sat and watched them in silence "You too, Kanroji-kun let's eat together. My little brother made a very delicious dish! come come!" Kyojuro gave her a hand and nodded to her as an invitation.
How can I become if I follow him and surrounded by him ..Do I be myself more, Am I more confident? Will I be strong and made use of good strength? she thought and asked with unsound words on her mind. Then she did it. He grabbed her palm in order to balance herself onto her feet.
"Thank you everyone"
"Mitsuri-san.. Mitsuri-san er.. are you okay? I saw you spaced out" Senjuro asked in an anxious tone.
"No No I'm just thinking of something… and trying to find you an answer let's say…." Mitsuri made a long noise in her throat and tabbed her finger at her mouth as though trying to find words on the tip of her lip.
"I think the reason that made I want to give a try to become Demon Slayer ..began on that day… the day I felt my heart went Ba dum Ba dum Ba dum! like a drum and I ran to them to it and Brrrrrrr but I almost fail ha-ha so you big brother helped me and we met that time my head went to thump tha da thumb and I knew the answer is Purrburrr from my heart!" Mitsuri gave him a sheepish smile and made a comical sound like telling a story to a young kid.
