ACT 6
Hello everyone
I have to say I have several different versions of the ending and I just made a decision two days before. It helped me direct the tone and mood of this fic so much. However, I also rewrote a previous chapter for better.
Author's note:
warning: I mixed the real story of them inside this ACT about her socks.
2.I created another place, I decided to use the words woman's wearable product shop. Apologised for using a long one because I think it carried a proper meaning that I expected every one could have a picture on. As the name shows, it's a place where you can see a selection of women's wear.
ACT 6
At the training ground around Flame Pillar estate. There was a crowd of people, bustling and chatting around the entire area as if there was something gonna happen here. All of the slayers looked anticipated and focused, exchanging words among them as they just received new information about the mini-training and the instructor who would take care of the session.
Under the bright day, the weather was appropriate for the exercise. A number of slayers gathered at the training ground of Flame Pillar estate as they heard, weighing the decision because there was a change of plan from Flame Pillar himself. At first he would take care of mini body training for slayers. This was a preparation before Hell training, which has been traditional training for them to get a intensed training from each Pillar. Absolutely, the hardest of them all was in the Rock Pillar. As Oyakata-sama was certain it put so much pressure on every slayer so he devised a new plan called mini-training.
But this time was different or not, it depended.
Some slayers started circulating the recent news, whispering to the others with a confident smug and dreamy eyes.
"Hah what? are you fucking kidding?" He said in a hushed tone, asking with a brim of hope and excitement that cannot hide at all. Another one just nudged his elbow back to lower his voice or else it'd be rude for her to hear this.
"Is it for real? God!" The whispering prevailed in the training ground, until the shoji door was opened by none other than Kyojuro who greeted them very loud, passionate and intense, as if he was the one who was more exciting than them. They shut their mouth and bowed to greet him back.
He walked off to the space and one person also tagged him along. She was, as if the idol and a symbol of the beauty goddess of the Demon Slayer Corps. Kanroji Mitsuri.
Awkwardly smiled, "Hi guys!" She uttered shyly in front of the crowd, waved her hand in a wide angle and she earned a clapping and wooing sound from slayers. It meant a lots to her, even though it's too much to inject the color on her face. She scratched her head from shyness, lowered her face, while her mentor patted her shoulder, fisted his hand up to encourage her to walk out with him in strong composure.
She gulped and complied, walking along her master, she looked unsettled because It was her first time doing so. To walk along her master was a new experience for her, shoulders slightly touched each other. Normally, she always tagged behind him. This time he pushed her to walk beside him with a warm smile. That's why she felt like there was a boiling inside her face, sneaking a glance at him admiringly. Of course, he was the best figure of men in her eyes
If his heart is burning with passion so her heart also is burning with admiration toward everyone..
"Everyone! I like seeing your spirit flaming like this! it's sure to show you guys are ready for mini-training. Sorry to have a sudden change. I have a feeling like I have to step aside because it's time for my student, Kanroji-kun to have a stage of her own" Other slayers nodded very agreeable with dreamy eyes to a girl beside him. They chuckled to each other as the rumor was true. This was what they had been looking for.
"Hi everyone, I am Mitsuri, Kanroji Mitsuri. Nice to see everyone here so let's work hard together in mini training" But this time it's on her, he tasked her with a new job and she willed herself again that she had to give it the best, the A+ and the plus extra. She would not let him down.
"Alright, Kanroji-kun my student, give it a shot. Let's rock and roll!"
Nodding "I'm gonna do my best, Rengoku-san. Alright everyone, are you ready for my training!" Mitsuri gripped her fist and threw up into the air and several man slayers watched and let out a triumph scream on her, as expected, her presence gave a different atmosphere here. It was a pleasant experience to see herself in a place like this. They all knew she could move every heart and this was why they wanted to find a chance to get close to her, a recent Hashira, the Love Pillar. Under this circumstance, some of them had a hidden motive, some had not, they also turned more focused and determined to learn with her, even if their eyes roamed to different places on her beautifully composed body that could kill every man here.
They're listening to her "I never imagine you guys will join this much. I'm so glad and Oh thank you so much to come and train with me ha-ha well it's my first time to do training for the slayers as well!" There was a flash of happiness in her eyes and it made their heart flattered by her cute demeanor.
They were nodding and sighed in content to see her presence. While Mitsuri thought the slayers might be interested to train with her for a short amount, as said 15 members was enough. But it turned out greater than she and her mentor expected. I should not let them down! They will come out with my skill and claimed my success as a student of Rengoku-senpai She thought but looking at them also gave her fluttering feeling as she never gave a lesson on someone
"Some of you might not see and work with me but let's be friends together! and let's practice together like I'm one of your friends and no need to pressure because we will learn together step-by-step" She blurted. turned bashful as the cheering sound went non-stopped.
Kyojuro looked at her and hummed in acceptance "Hahahah, that's the spirit of Demon Slayers I want to see! your heart is burning with a flame of passion!" Kyojuro as stood beside her, observe surrounding for making sure the readiness because this was first time he decided to let her take care of some part of job by herself without his guide.
"I'll do my best and everyone, please give it all best"
All men slayers gave a hooray sound, very hyped one as it's gonna be a good idea to train with one of the popular women pillar here "I'm sure you can do it, Kanroji-kun, be more confident! You're great in yourself" her mentor laughed and touched her shoulder to encourage her "Kyaaaa Kyojuro-senpai" Her body reacted to his sincere talk very fast and it almost crumbled her emotion.
Mitsuri let out a sigh to control herself before starting. Her face lit up with fire of passion and power inside out "today, I want you guys to practice on stretching muscles to enhance your flexibility in fighting!" She said excitingly, waiting for their reaction.
They seemed blank in a second before clapping their hands and hooray again as if to not let her down, even though they never knew this kind of practice before.
"How can I say, umm if you practice stretching muscle, it's gonna help you in repositioning, jumping, dodging and no need to fear muscle damage when fighting too" threw a snoopy punch to the air like imitating a fight.
No one responded back to her then she continued uncertainty "And-and you can adapt into your foush ..er..I mean footwork yeah for footwork as well" Mitsuri tried best to remain calm and controlled her sound to be steady, not shaky because it's not easy for her to have public speaking like this, she grew up with a low level of confidence in the past so her tone and action demeanor was also like robot from her own stiffness in front of public.
"You will start stretching from a basic like warming up first. I personally adopted this practice from a traditional western dance called ballet but if you're mastered it, you can do like this" Mitsuri decided to perform her flexibility in front of them, intent to make a demonstration clearly to them how today's workout was. She moved her body with a soft but strong position in ballet dance; stretching her legs upward, spreading her legs and twirling her body with a poise.
The audience looked at her in memorizing for her beauty and grace in dancing. There was no music in the background but her move was enought to capture their hearts. Her skirt was also dangerously short, which gave them a nice shot of 'white and lace' and they circulated this code bro among them.
Mitsuri, without any hints what their ficus were, twirled last time and stopped, beamed to them brightfully when she received the clapping sound and cheering hooray "okay everyone let's dance together"
Her last sentence gave them goosebumps. Talking about her flexibility, standing up straight and bent downward to reach the tip of feet was hard for them enough. Their training mostly enhanced the strength of muscle but flexibility on the body was new among them.
She asked everyone to follow her step. First, second and third attempt, they all fail altogether. They groaned, falling down from unbalancing, hit each other clumsily
Mitsuri looked at them with a flash of permanent worry on her face, chewing her lip in thought. She frowned and gulped because behind her was her mentor. The fear to get lectured by him made a change to her plan. Suddenly She grunted faintly as she felt like the pressure was pouring into her shoulder.
"Everyone alright please stop it..okay I think.. l'm sorry to pick a hard one for you all so.. Oh I think I have an idea!" She clapped her hand as something clicked to her mind.
"I'll help you one by one! How about it?" They paused dumbly. Mitsuri explained "I will help you stretch your muscles one by one. Let's start from a basic together and then we will move on the next mini-training altogether so today let's deal with the basic to relieve your muscle"
Mitsuri cheerfully dragged one lucky slayer as her first volunteer. He smiled shyly and proud at the same time and gained the woo from the rest as they also wanted to stay close to her like this "let's show them how to do basic stretching together!" He nodded dumbly.
She had him sit on the ground. She sat in front of him, locked her hand and used her leg to spread his legs out - the volunteer cried in pain and a lot of emotion crossed his feature but Mitsuri focused on explaining detail to the audience "here is the first pose for all of you! Stretching out your leg muscle" They all gulped and felt a bit sad for that guy now.
"The second is about your back and shoulder" Next she let him sit wide in the same, and reposition her at the back of the volunteer and pull their body forward in order to let them touch the tip of his feet as much as possible. It's hard to touch it, even in standing or sitting position, he bit his lip down to gulp down his cry.
"and..Oh I think two set is enough for today!" She let the volunteer go and said to the audience in excitement while the volunteer dropped his body down on the ground without any force to strengthen his body up. He felt like his body had no weight and sensed every pain on his muscle till he hardly lifted his body.
"For basic start, let's do this first and next time we would continue to do a new one" The first volunteer had to crept on four and dropped down another side, shakily and wobbly, his gleam of excitement and dreaminess when staying closed to this Love Pillar were all gone and left only a body without a pain or feeling.
Later on, There was a series of concerts from cry and broken words have been heard in the training ground. They tried to keep their lip shut or even bit their cheek to restrain their pain. But it was blessed for them and she touched on them, stretching and bending them. There was a flicker in their eyes that changed from heaven to get a chance to stay up close to her and then it plunged into hell when she performed stretching on their body as if they were merely a stick that she could pull there, lift this and push this. Even it costs their body to be arched through muscle. It's worth it! They chanted inside and crept out and waited to see the reaction of the next prey.
It finally ended. The mini training with Love Pillar was not mini as it should have been. It gained mini heavens but also macro hell to their body.
Sun has painted the sky into a shade of orange and pink horizontally. The canvas of the sky in this time was full of color, however, this golden time lasted not long. In the blink of an eye, it could turn to dark at any time. After departure from Flame Pillar estate, Mitsuri felt like every fiber of muscle in her body was cutted out of her nerve system, she was really exhausted because she never imagined being a trainer would drain her energy this much.
Sighed heavily, Mitsuri felt the arch all over her body. She put so much effort to train one-by-one and it made an impact on her body as well. She could sense her arm and leg arched from exhaustion and needed a muscle reliever right now. She stretched her hands out and they're sore in pain.
"God..I'm gonna make it through the meeting with Oyakata-sam " she said and yawned. Her head motioned left to right when she walked in each step. She now dragged her body to the main house of the master to relay the report of training.
Inside the meeting room with the presence of a master and some Hashira. "It's a promising one of training. We have Stone Pillar to strengthen the muscle and would you like to share it with us, Kanroji?"
Covered in dust and dirt, Mitsuri sat uneasy since she came later than the others because she lost her way again this time. She was about to give a report to Oyakata-sama along with Water Pillar, Mist Pillar, Wind Pillar, Stone Pillar and Snake Pillar.
Obanai sneaked a glance from a side to her. He noted how she looked different like she ran out of energy. What he could do here was to send encouragement to her by telepathy. Of course he wanted to cheer her up, it's the right time to do so but the duty came first.
She sat uneasy, trying to pull the rim of her skirt down to cover all part of her legs because it was all full of the scar;old and new one from today. Mitsuri started sweating when it's her turn to speak and she found it hard to explain her lesson to everyone again.
"Hai, Oyakata-sama. today is my first day to lead a mini-training, so I trained them about stretching muscles and I brrrrr their legs apart and my heart goes like doki doki everytime ..." and she explained, stuttering shyly, drawing her story in the air in a big gesture. Her fellow Pillar just stared blankly to her except Sanemi made a face of disapproval to her as if what the fuck you're saying? Then he rolled his eyes to the Snake Pillar who sat silently and looked uneasy by her habit of explaining things. But he at least found how uneasy she was today even a glimpse.
Oyakata-sama tried to collect her explanation and continued "As expected from my children, you all have done a great job today so…"
At that moment of the meeting would end soon. Her stomach protested her will so radically. It groaned very loud. She forgot to have lunch so it cried very loud and clear. It stopped the meeting and paused everyone into silence.
Muichiro turned to her and pointed to his stomach to signal that sound was from there, from your stomach, please keep it quiet. She turned red and covered her entire face with her white haori "kyaaaaaaaaa! I-I-I'm sorry for my rudeness" she screamed while the master just laughed faintly to her. Again Sanemi flicked his eyes to Obanai who closed his eyes and lowered his head down to not receive any glares from Wind Pillar.
"It seems my children tend to be hungry so I think I should call it a day" there, her miracle put a hold to meeting and had a power to end it before time.
After the meeting, Mitsuri walked out with tired eyes and a fatigue look on her face. Her hand rubbed her stomach trying to calm it down because she skipped lunch today for the sole purpose of training that took the whole day from her. It took a toll on her.
Unaware, Mitsuri yawned and sighed again in exhaustion. Her leg just did their best to drag her home and her lip contorted and face scrunched as if she was not in a good shape.
"Kanroji, you are yawning. Are you sleepy?" Shockingly, Mitsuri almost sprung from her feets. Here was what she saw, in that second, Iguro Obanai landed on the ground without any sounds to disturb her. She embraced herself from a shock while a man simply nodded to her.
"Iguro-san! What are you doing here? you almost made me a heart-attack" She blurted and turned red from his greeting. He stood in front of her "Don't get me wrong, I just tried to make you laugh.." her face relaxed and allowed herself to have a casual laugh. He did his best to fling a joke to her to make her laugh like she always did to the others.
"Iguro-san, you got me this time"
"You seemed a bit tired" He started, observed her and made a mental note today was likely to be her tough day. Her uniform was covered with dust and dirt. Her hand automatically blushed off a dire on her legs out.
"Quite a bit, Iguro-san. It's my first time so I found it difficult in doing so" She let out a sheepish smile, his eyes followed her hand in trying to cover her leg.
"You should take a rest. I will walk your home" Mitsuri lovingly let out a smile and tried her best to inject a happy tone to her voice while they both are walking together.
Along the way, she seemed really off. Obanai noted and tried to keep her company to her place. Her hand fidgeted around her slender leg everytime he turned to her. She felt a bit unconfident on her legs.
Obanai also noticed the reason she was fret to hide her legs was the scares. She obtained multiplied of it when compared to the first time as her first day in Pillar meeting. The old and new one that faintly had a tip of dried blood on it. She might have been worried on her leg and the scare, she tries to act normal but it's on her face, he sighed and thought if he was her, he would have burnt this outfit to ash and ordered a new pant outfit one. It could possibly prevent from having scars over legs. But she's too considerate in doing so because she didn't want to upset them.
Tsk
The picture of eyeglass slayer in the sewing and cloth department agitated him. He wheezed it out and kept it because he didn't want to let her notice it. After dropping her at her place, they waved to each other.
"Take a good rest" he said and listened to her farewell before she closed the door in silence and it seemed like the normal Mitsuri mode was off and it's understandable that she should recharge her energy for tomorrow. He felt a little bit out of place as well to see her less emotional face. As if it's out of her character and it made him feel strange to see her being down like this,
His feet stopped at his own place, Obanai looked straight at his place but no moved. Turning back, Obanai clicked his tongue as something popped in his head. He stood still and reasoned for a while in thought. Strode back to the mission room, he opened the door even it's not a working time for them. He was glad to see some slayers there, they jolted slightly as Snake Pillar stormed in very fast, they choked on an instant noodle cup that they sneaked in to eat and it's against the rule.
"Igruro-san!" They all put down the cup but spilled over to each other from the haste, pretend to endure the hot water
Obanai waved away "Hey, I have one request.. and don't worry I'm not doing anything about your food. I come for work purpose"
A new day, Obanai was not in the Demon Slayer Corps, which was unusual for him because he had made a change in a last minute so he was in the town, in a marketplace where there was bustle and hustle everywhere. He felt overwhelmed by the congestion in the morning routine in the town. The crowd of town people moved along the lane. Obanai stepped aside to let the cart pass him and followed to look at what's on the cart but it's under the cover of a big blanket.
He barely spent time in the marketplace like this in his life.
Right now, he felt very useless. It happened at first thought as he would like to ask some fellow pillar to come with him, No not a good one, he refused and shrugged this off immediately because it might cost a problem in future. The notion of asking for someone's help was not on his system. Second thought sounded possibly because some slayers could come with him, at least to keep a company.
Shaking all thought away, he decided to come alone, with his Kaburamaru, which coiled under his haori for the sake of people not frightened by its existence. All caused him to stand and look around like a lost teenage boy in the town. He had no idea where he should start. He acted alone with no plan like the time when he and other slayers hunted demons.
"Where should I start looking now?" he mumbled alone because he rarely came to the marketplace in the town alone. It became his first time to travel alone searching for one item which was a pair of socks.
For her.
Without any reasons, after he had seen her legs like that, he felt a need to find something for her to protect her body, like socks which was one of the apparel concepts to fit in this way. What was his plan and what was his direction, he didn't know any of these. All he knew was he wanted to find something for her. That's it. At very least, it looked useful for her.
Obanai stood in front of a woman's wearable product shop. With a slight sweat forming over his face, he wiped it and psyched himself up one more time before entering when he made sure there was no client inside the shop.
"Hello, welcome in" he was greeted by a middle-age shop lady who was now reading a magazine without looking at him. He's relieved he's alone here without anyone except the shop owner. He felt opposed to her as she paid no mind to the customer. Within a second, he had to change his mind because he cannot find a pair of socks among the abundance of things in her shop.
"I'm looking for a pair of socks for women" He walked to the counter and asked her calmly.
"Hah? oh yeah, I have "She ceased reading, looking up to him with curious eyes, her brow furrowed and relaxed as she was surprised by a man presented in her shop. She looked straight into his mismatched eyes for a while before sighing "Sorry, I hardly have any men customers here and you want socks, right? let's see oh here and what is her size and what color are you looking for?"
"Er...she...er…." Obanai scrunched his thought, bid his lip in thinking. It's never in his concern to know her feet size. What measure did it take to follow, what it affected her performance, a lot of questions flooded into his head. Her size would be the same like him? No women size could be different from men's standard.
His action was enough to let the owner sigh and smile at this young man. He looked fidgeted and chewing his lip in thought.
Obanai sighed and his face bumped "I don't know..I may have come back next time" He almost turned out but the shop lady called him to stop.
"Swordsman-san, hold on. You may tell me her appearance and I can take a guess about her size. So you brought for your friend? or mother?"
"A friend"
"Okay so what does she look like? I mean about her height, her weight, something like that so I may pick some size for her if I know about her look" Shop lady walked out of the counter and stopped around the bar that was filled with many socks and stockings for women.
Obanai began to explain about her height and appearance to the owner. She made a noise in thinking and picked out one pair of white socks to him "I think this size can work on her" Obanai touched the texture and hummed in response but he still thought it's not okay
"Do you have any durable materials? more flexible and longer than this one" she wheezed as he became picky suddenly when choosing it, even asking for additional quality material.
"More durable and more flexible? I have some but not much. It's foreign products. Not very popular among girls because it's too thick and expensive so...are you interested to take a look? swordsman-san"
"The price is not a problem, and I would like to look at fine material one" Money was not a prime concern at all, he had enough to provide for her. He felt jittered by the fact that he spent money to buy things for her because he never spent money for someone else, even for himself.
Several pairs of socks were present to him. His eyes moved each of it, the texture looked promising. There only was one color that reminded him of her the most. That color was light green, which looked softer than her hair color but it looked alike her. Obanai held this one up, compared to another dark-shade of pink. He hummed in thought before taking a decision.
"This one" He paid and received a charge from a shop owner. He looked at the socks inside the plastic, imagining how she looked when she wore it and how her face changed when she found out he did buy it for her. Especially for her.
Shop owner continued "and If your lady cannot wear it. You can take her here to change a new one so I hope your lady would love it" Obanai paused, looking up to her.
"Hmph, no" Obanai protested and left her startle to her own statement "I mean, she's not my lady. She's a girl I happen to know in the workplace." corrected Obanai.
She breathed out a gentle smile " A girl? Is she younger than you? Oh you like younger girls?" Obanai waved his hand quickly from her misunderstanding but she spoke "it's okay, swordsman-san. Most men prefer younger lovers, that's why you brought a colorful one for her on purpose"
"No! you misunderstood, she's kind of my colleague" he corrected again but stuttered at the same time.
Her smile went wider to see the young swordsman look awkward and shy "Come on, swordsman-san, one thing I'm sure is she'll grow up soon, I believe. When a girl turn into a woman, a lady, she'll be more beautiful like a bloomed flower and a girl likes this kind of present, a sock, a good option to show you care for her so good luck with that"
He made himself out of the shop with red flushing over his cheek. Trying to quell the sweet frustration, Obanai felt off-balanced because there was a flash of marriage in his head between him and Mitsuri, she got him all wronged and how can he take her to this place if Mitsuri cannot wear this size? what's her reaction to this shop lady if she prodded with this wrong concept.
He shook his head and looked at the socks inside his haori "I bought her as a present .. just just.. because she has to use it" he taked and answered by himself.
While he's walking back to Demon Slayer Corps, the notion from the shop owner still hunted his head and made him slightly red "It's going to be okay or not?.. is she gonna think I bought it as a present to .. to ask for her hand? Hell no! She might not think in that way"
"Is she?" He said, paused and felt a heat over his ears and back of his head in an early stage of shyness. He still remembered the detail of mini training when they had to report to Oyakata-sama. Now She should have been at Flame Pillar estate, maybe around the training ground, he thought and walked to the Flame Pillar estate.
"Thank you for your work hard today! go back to have dinner and sleep well everyone!"
It appeared his hunch was sharp and right. In front of him, There was a girl in pink hair with a very beautiful smile and sparkling all over her warm aura, waving her hand to say goodbye to every slayer who was walking out of the training ground.
Obanai sighted, jumped on the big tree around the training ground, to look at her from her blinded spot as he noted that she could not possibly notice him here when she engaged in bidding farewell to every slayer. She always treated everyone equally in a tender and admiring way. That's why, he knew well, everyone had to feel warm around her. He noticed there were smiles appearing on every slayer from her session till he felt he wanted to look at her session as well. To think that, he never spent time during work time with her at all. He did his work and she did her. They still never crossed this path together in the joint mission or activities.
"See you around!" Last group of slayers walked out. Mitsuri dropped her hand and sighed, a heavy one. Her outfit was messy like yesterday, her hair was not in well shape and frizzed out of her braids.
"Oh god...I'm so hungry" She threw her body on the lawn as there was no one around her, performing a stretch and rotating it before getting up. "Have a glass of water before going to Oyakata-sama place" she said aloud and alone before getting in Flame Pillar estate as it was her second place. No sign of Flame Pillar as well.
Obanai sniggered because she seemed really worn out and tried like yesterday. Her scrunched face gave him a new feeling. It looked cute to him and she let her guard down. Eventually, this time she knew that If she did not fill her stomach with something, her stomach would pretest again during the meeting. He jumped down and saw she seemed to finish drinking and now was walking out to a terrace that was adjacent to the training ground with half eye-lids as if she could sleep at any time.
"Kanroji" He called and approached her. Mitsuri squeaked like a rabbit and sprung from her stance, hand clasping over her chest to sooth her surprise before seeing that person was him
Mitsuri let out a happy breath "Iguro-san! " Her face lit up and walked to him with her lovely smile. He noticed a dark circle under her eye bags.
"Are you done on mini-training?" he asked, pretended to act as he just arrived.
Mitsuri nodded "Yeah a while ago. I went in to have quick snack before give a report to Oyakata-sama"
"How's today?"
"As usual, Iguro-san. I'm so glad they trained with me a lot and put up with me even if I fail explaining things to them ha-ha" she scratched her head with an innocent gesture. One thing he sensed she never fessed she's tried badly. Mitsuri gave him a sincere smile that she's glad to have someone asked about her being, scratching her head.
At that moment, he decided "take this" He did it. He said it. He fucking did it. Obanai used this chance, no one's around so he gave her a pair of green socks that he had bought for her. He deliberately handed it to her while his face diverted to another way. He felt something hot moving inside his chest and flow into his heart and face.
"What's it, Iguro-san? you bought it for me?" she was dazed and stuttered, looking at the socks and his face up and down.
"Yeah, take it..don't ask anything..just take it" why it took her so long to take it, he thought because he secretly also felt unsettled for a fact that he did buy her something to someone and that thing could be called as present in a woman's view, plus he also had no idea what occasion that he could materialise to tell her what this present for. Mitsuri looked at the socks, blinking several times. So it made him feel jitter when she bent her face up close to the sock with a deliberate look on her face.
"This socks for me?" He nodded
"Yeah and it's yours now.. I just feel like you need it and you need to wear it" He paused as her mouth hung low "I think you will be good wearing it with your outfit"
Blinking in disbelief, Mitsuri said "Oh Iguro-san thank you so much! it's very nice of you. I don't know how to say thank you to you exactly because you know I'm so happy and much happy to get this from you. Oh wow! it's really cute! I like it! I love it! I adore it!" Finally he let out a sigh as she took it and cuddled it to her face. "Thank you, Iguro-san you're so kind, look! the color is matched!" she held up close to a tip of her hair.
"Yeah yeah..keep it and use it"
"It's really beautiful. You chose this? Oh that's very nice of you, Iguro-san….. Ah...please wait here, I will go get you some drinks" She managed to drag him to Flame Pillar estate and put his shoulder down to take a seat around the terrace and ran back inside, which also was not her estate either "No Kanroji, you're gonna late for meeting" He sighed because she never listened to him again this time, glanced to her stature before she left at the corner.
When she's not around, he gripped his hand into a fist, yes! I did it! He said in his head in a victorious tone and was proud of his steadfast act and it all paid off. She's happy about it.
The running sound was heard. Obanai sat straight, waiting for her to appear in front of him while playing with Kaburamaru. "Kanroji, I said you don't have to, you will be..." His lip stopped uttering when a tray of hot tea dropped beside him very hard till it splashed slightly. Another thing also flashed into his sight.
"Iguro-san! look! It's really great!" Excitingly, she threw her leg beside him as well with a pointe and moved higher to let him see what he bought for her closely.
Mitsuri still repeated to him on how it felt to wear these socks while a man freezed at his place, eyes locking to her and his face beated red hotly "white and lace…." he made a mental note on a picture that he saw right in front of his eyes. God could punish him. He finally calmed her down because her skirt was being hovered up till he could spot her white lace panties "Kanroji, I see! I see it! it looks really great on you!" When she heard him, she was radiated but still lift her leg "I think it's time to meeting now, Kanroji I will walk you there" Obanai concluded and forcefully took her to meeting place
When she went inside, he waited outside a big branch of a tree around Oyakata-sama place. But he heard her voice clearly that "Iguro-san brought it for me!" and it earned him an awkward heat over his face.
