[Seiji's POV]
The first ray of sunlight shone upon , making the sweat on my body glitter like diamonds. I stopped my training for a brief mont to stare back at the sun that was staring at .
"Already huh?" I said out loud as I glared at the sun directly without flinching.
I woke up early today, so early in fact that it was still dark like the night when I got out of bed. I thought I'd get so training instead of trying to force myself to sleep again after I woke up from a nightmare.
Yeah, I still had nightmares. A little childish I know but it was not like I could help it.
It'd only ever stop after slicing Muzan into a million pieces.
The temperature of my body dropped rapidly after I stopped all movent. A chilling morning breeze blew on , shaking out of my musing.
I always loved sunrise and sunset. In my opinion, the transition between night and day was when the world was at its most beautiful.
As the warm sunlight passed over my body and lit up everything else, I stopped my gaze and continued my training once more.
However, I didn't train for too long after that as people were waking up. I was not wearing a shirt so I quickly wore one. I was still a little insecure about the myriad of scars covering my body and I didn't want to make anyone uncomfortable by being naked.
"Aww~ You should've let the clothes stay off," I saw Shinobu say from the Veranda. I was not sure how long she had been peeking on but she had just now walked out.
I deadpanned at her, "I didn't know you were that type of girl Shibi,"
"Whatever do you an? Can't a doctor appreciate a unique body constitution? Fufufu," she said teasingly.
Yeah, she couldn't pull off the onee-san allure on because I knew her when she was young and always treated her like a little sister. There was also Kanae, so she only looked cute instead of looking mature.
I shrugged, "Thank you for the complint,"
However, I was not sure if being called unique was a complint. Couldn't she just call sexy instead?
Because believe it or not, I was pretty sexy!! I think.
"Well anyhow, I will leave now since the show is over. Rember to clean up properly, she should be here soon," Shinobu said with a wave.
"Wait, who's going to be here?" I asked but she was already gone, leaving my question unanswered.
I stayed in place for a few seconds before I shrugged and sat down under the rising sun. I crossed my legs and closed my eyes to start ditating.
One of the greatest training to do after you've maxed out your physical state is to train the mind. In battle, the mind and body fought as one so you had to sharpen both.
Taking a page from Baki, I imagined myself fighting many demons in my mind. From demons I've faced before to demons I haven't faced yet but was aware of their abilities.
My sharp mind, which was able to process everything my eyes saw, could put more effort into my imagination when I closed my eyes. My vivid mory helped too as I began simulating fights in my mind.
I imagined how the fight would go but most importantly, I imagined how the demons were going to fight. I put myself in their shoes, controlling their bodies and having their abilities. Then I used my own creativity to find a way to attack those and also how to defeat myself.
After I got my answer and found a way to hurt myself while in their shoes, I made sure to erase that weakness, I repeated this process again and again.
Against Gytaro, against Akaza, against Douma and even against Yoriichi. I ran those simulations again and again.
I spent more than an hour ditating like that. From my hunger, my body instinctively knew what ti it was. It also realized that it was ti for breakfast.
I opened my eyes and did an instinctive scan around the surroundings which I had left unseen for an hour.
Closing my eyes like that was dangerous but I felt safe doing so in the mansion.
"Oh, you're done!!" I could not hear her voice but with sight alone, I could tell how cheery those words sounded.
"???"
"So you're the one Shibi said would co," I said and my lips curved like it was the most natural thing to do around her, like holding your breath underwater.
"Mitsuri," I said while gazing at her pink hair that was dancing to the tune of the wind. They looked like the beauty of Sakura trees made into locks.
I stood up, dusting my butt off the dirt before I opened my arms. That was the permission she was looking for and she imdiately jumped on .
"Hehehe~ I missed you," she said as I did a small twirl and put her back on the ground.
" too," I said.
Copying her action unknowingly, I took in her scent, just like she did mine. She slled like sumr and love. A harmonious blend of warmth and strength.
"But why are you here?" I asked in confusion.
She gave a small pout, "You never brought this up again but I didn't think you would actually forget about it,"
"Uhhhh..." I said, still unsure.
"Did you see my haori?" she said and stood sideways so that I could see her fluttering haori. It was pink and white.
"It's proof that I am a Demon Slayer," she said.
She'd told that before. She had beco a Demon Slayer while I was still unconscious from my fight with Douma.
'Oh..' I internally realized what I was missing.
"You said I would beco your Tsuguko after I passed the exam," she said, proving my suspicion.
"I did, didn't I?" I said, more to myself as I scratched my cheek.
I rembered being very excited about that prospect soti ago. But I have been so busy these recent days that I've completely forgotten.
"Wait.." I said, "That ans you are obligated to stay beside every ti other than while you are on a mission,"
I smiled.
She matched my smile, although hers was more shy.
Well isn't that just lovely news?
I didn't have a ho of my own though. I spent most of my ti travelling around, compelling missions rapidly until I beca known as the pillar of pillars. The only tis I was not travelling were tis when I had to train or recover from a fight, so I would stay in the Flower Mansion.
So in a way, the Flower Mansion has been my ho after all these years.
That ans the Flower Mansion just got a new mber.

"WHAT!!! You are already awake!" Mitsuri exclaid in surprise when she saw Kanae sitting at the dining table for breakfast.
Actually, even I was quite surprised to see her out of bed. This was the first ti that she'd join us for breakfast.
The place we were in was the living room in the private section of the Flower Mansion. It was mostly just , Kanae, Kanao and Shinobu who lived here.
"Seiji, why don't you tell !" Mitsuri whined at my side.
"Don't bla , I was told not to spread the news," I replied.
"Seiji, who are you with?" Kanae who was being guided by Kanao asked while turning to us. She couldn't see but knew where we were from our voice.
"Oh, sorry, I'm Mitsuri Kanroji," she said before bowing respectfully, "Nice to et you,"
"Oh," Kanae mouthed and I saw her freeze up.
"You're...the girl,"
..
..
The atmosphere then got really weird for so reason.
But it didn't take long to realize why..
'They haven't t each other officially,'

Auhtor : Finally, two of the female leads et as I curse myself for making this a harem. Either one would be a good love interest alone.
Wish luck as I write the next Chapter.
I hate this honestly.
