Kapitel 62: Chapter 59 - Side Story Shinobu POV
Shinobu POV
There some minor drama (you can skip if you cringe)
The time of my life, I never expected to have a lover by my side and shared a similar pain of losing someone important. I had been impressed by his ability to adapt and grow further. Though, he always shrugged it off by telling her it was his skills that let him quickly learn.
However, I begged to differ as it wasn't just his skills rather something that I can't quite point my finger at. Once his training was over and left for the Muichiro quarter, I felt anxious.
It was foreign emotion for me that made me want him to stay by my side and learn more about him. Ever since he chose to show me what my life could have been without him had scared me.
I won't hesitate doing it but doesn't I wasn't afraid of seeing myself die as my younger adopted sister fought for her life. I only spent a few weeks with him and already knew that he wasn't manipulative and honest about things.
It would have been easy to use his knowledge to use me and yet provide nearly everything to save me from tragedy. I wanted to thank him but his world is different from mine and there's nothing I could have offered.
Every time he turned from his train made me want to repay him rather than just letting him stay at my mansion. Ryuu who hides a great pain within a carefree smile and humble attitude.
His smile was like mine before I learned about my future. I wonder how much it pains me seeing him hide it and make me act more bold.
I teased him as much as I could to make him vulnerable until he finally agreed to tell me some things about his past. However, he was too ignorant at my advances, blushing like a child that thoroughly enjoyed it.
During that time he trained Muichiro and seeing him tirelessly working on himself made me want to help him. When I learnt that he was going to train under Mitsuri-san, I became anxious for some odd reason.
It's as if I'll lose something by letting him be with another woman. It was only then I realized that I grew to like him. His humble nature and carefree personality made me desire to look deeper.
Something at the back of my head that I won't be the only one beside him. There would be others that would want to be by his side. Though, it was normal for a man to have two to three wives take for example tengen-san.
Regardless, I pondered day and night if my attraction was real for three whole weeks. I told him how I feel in a vague way and as I have predicted, had someone before me.
I tried to hide it feeling devastated. I couldn't be the only one by his side and let him come out with his true feelings. However, I knew that I wanted him to be happy and accepted it.
Times flew by and Ryuu has grown more open to me and even became more bold replying to my teasing. A month has passed training with Mitsuri and I've learned that he took a day break.
I shrugged it off since he deserves a little break for training continuously. However, once I saw his expression, I noticed something was wrong.
It was night when I witnessed him having a cup of wine drinking his heart out and laughing to himself. I would never forget that night listening to his rant while drinking.
"Why did you have to do that!? If you're alive then maybe you had a family or two and mom and dad wouldn't have to struggle!"
I hid close by hearing his drunken scream and the sound of something crashing to see him throwing clay bottle wine that has a thick aroma that no human should consume.
I could see him looking at the sky grimly that night seemed to fall for him. It pains me to look at him and want to run straight to him but I felt hesitant.
I don't why but I knew acting right and then would have ruined something. Then he started a chuckle that grew in loud laughter that seemed to echo in the night.
"It's your birthday today as well as your death anniversary….If you're alive maybe I could have been an uncle right now. Even if I have the power to revive you….it doesn't change the pain of losing you in our life."
His words seem to speak about his brother that I've always heard coming from him. He seems to drink his grief similar to me by hunting Demons. The pain won't go away by doing that alone.
'Reviving my sister…'
I would do anything to revive my sister who died 2 years ago which made me wonder for how long had Ryuu's brother been dead.
"It's been exactly 10 years if I was in my world. But I swear I'll revive you and maybe hook you up with a few women! I think you'll get jealous once you see my Shinobu. She's gorgeous and alluring and likes to bully me..."
Ryuu said his opinion without a filter. I couldn't help but smile hearing his compliment and wary smile at the last part.
"Even if that's the case she's a strong headed woman who acts come and carefree yet also gentle and emotional. I've been trying my best to give my all but you bastard brother never said having a relationship was this hard! It pains me whenever I don't get the chance to be with her!"
He cursed his brother that made me smile and understand that he was also in pain every time he's not around with her. Ryuu was so kind that he thought of others before himself.
"You've told me that having a harem would be cool but it's really hard….I'm holding myself back since, you know Justine? Yeah I want to give her my first but I know it would hurt shinobu being some side woman."
Now I vaguely understand why his desire for a harem which he mentions often was because it was his brother's own desire. I felt happy that he was thinking about how I feel.
It is frustrating for me to fall for a man who already has another lover. Maybe, I could have found other men that would only love me and yet I could see that Ryuu won't abandon anyone because it's his nature.
I decided to approach him, who was sitting on the ground. With his elbow resting in his kneecap and saw him turn to look at her with his eyes seemingly wet from tears.
"S-Shinobu…"
"Shhhh...let me just embrace you."
He looked at me bewildered before I wrapped my arms around him, calming him down. I could smell the sting aroma of the alcohol but kept my embrace.
"Y-You let go since I reeked of alcohol."
"I'm sorry…."
I apologize because he paused and stared at me confused as to why I apologized. I only gave a warm smile, kissed his lips and tasted the alcohol.
"I'm sorry that you thought you're alone doing everything. I never knew that you're afraid of hurting me. Remember I've chosen this and I could always leave you but I won't."
He seems to have no plan on moving and his hand touches my arms as he silently looks down. Ryuu felt slightly sober from her presence.
"I know….but I always thought that life could be easy like fiction I read but no. Those are not life but lies. I hope you don't regret your decision in the end."
"After I learn how you truly felt then I won't."
I tighten my hug as the two of us silently enjoy the night. I was hesitant at first but I've decided to ask him.
"How….how did he pass away?"
Ryuu fell silent for a moment hesitant to speak about but decided to tell the truth.
"My brother was someone who sold drugs who gained a large amount of money without any idea since it was his trusted friend who gave the job but eventually he was betrayed and used as some stepping stone."
He clenched his fist in anger that I could feel his desire to make revenge since I was the same with Demons. I want to help him and punish them for hurting my Ryuu-kun. We stared at the star, having grown more to understand each other.
Kapitel 63: Chapter 60 - Side Chapter Mitsuri POV
Mitsuri POV
I never expect my life to change the moment I met the man that soon would be the love of my life. I still clearly remember when Shinobu-san told us about someone who is able to see the future. Like the rest of us were skeptic since who has the ability to see the future?
Wouldn't it be normal to believe it's untrue but I knew Shinobu-san won't ever lie regarding our chance against Demons. She was the only female Hashira and a close friend of mine. I notice how she seemingly changes and less strain than before.
Is it just my imagination? Maybe but ever since Kanae-san died she had been hiding pain like the rest of us but unlike them, I don't have much hatred towards Demon as the reason I've joined the Demon Slayer is quite embarrassing.
Being born with abnormal strength, I wanted to find a husband who can surpass me in these areas. However, I eventually made it my duty to fight this demon to save people's lives.
When I met the man that Shinobu-san spoke to, I immediately felt something was alluring to him. I wasn't sure how strong he was but when he made us frozen in place he convinced me that he's the one.
In the end, I've offered my teaching and wanted to get close to him as I hope to see his true strength. It was embarrassing being up close to him when I started his training.
It was my first time teaching someone but he somehow made me comfortable and acted humble. His action was extremely considerate and disputed my flaws and it was embarrassing that I'm the one learning rather the other way around.
I was frustrated at myself but Ryuu always had the right time to respond when I was feeling down. He kept telling me to not think much about people and just be myself.
"I'm the same as you. I once cared about people's opinion of me and cast myself from others."
His word that was filled with loneliness and solitude however did not have any shed of sadness only emptiness.
"Just follow your heart then you'll see the world clearly."
I was stunned and felt my heart beating from his words alone. I don't know what I was feeling since it wasn't from embarrassment that I usually feel. My heart was pounding like I had run the farthest and longest I have ever done.
It should be impossible for me to feel restless when I mastered Total Concentration Breathing. I only put it aside and continued to train him but more confident.
Like I have thought, his strength far exceeded a normal person allowing him to keep up with me. He might have surpassed me in terms of strength.
However, in those times spending two and half months together made me realize a few things. Whenever he leaves I felt part of my heart slipping out of reach and once he returned felt indescribable bliss.
I don't know why I was feeling this way and I once saw him being intimate with Shinobu and felt a prickle piercing my heart. It was as if I lost something important and wondered why that is.
It's been bothering me for some time that I wanted to talk to someone and when we went on a mission together it made me want the answer even more. He had given me a Hairpin stick and told me my hair became more beautiful wearing it.
I was alway anxious how people saw my hair as it was unusual and no one would want a woman who has my hair colored but my heart pounded when he said.
"You know, I really like your hair color. It shows your bubbly and loving personality. You seem anxious how people see it but you shouldn't be. I really love it and if it was anything but this then you wouldn't be Mitsuri-san anymore. This is what makes you special, Mitsuri-san."
His words held nothing but a heartwarming feeling that made me want to embrace him. I really want to know what this feeling is that I've been having. Perhaps it was love?
I'm unsure if he would accept my love since he has Shinobu-san and I don't want to steal him from her. She's a close friend of mine and I don't want to betray our relationship but I also don't want to lose Ryuu. Though, I knew she wouldn't mind but it still makes me anxious knowing it is still possible.
We had a few days of break and I decided to speak with someone who knows more than me. I went to Tengen's residence where I heard someone screaming.
"I've already told you it's this way!!"
"B-But I'm not suited to fighting!!"
"Please stop fighting you two, Tengen-san is currently sleeping and tired from training."
I went to the sources and found Tengen-san wives, Makio, Suma and Hinatsuru. They were one whose use of this kind of relationship. Even if my father had multiple wives I don't know much how I should feel about it personally.
"Oh, Mitsuri-chan, what are you doing here?"
Makio notices my arrival and immediately stops their training to greet me. I smile back at them since I knew that they would be one who will know how I feel.
"Mitsuri-san! You save me!!"
Suma tried to run up to me while crying but was stopped by Makio who pulled her back. I feel a bit scared seeing how violent Makio was.
"Don't run away and finish your training! We can't disappoint, Tengen-san."
"I'm already tired…..can we take a break for a moment?"
"Makio, stop it already. Our training time has already ended and we still need to prepare a meal for Tengen-sama."
"I-I'll handle it!"
Suma escaped and Makio grasped who was annoyed while Hinatsuru only weakly smiled before approaching me telling me to head dinside and have a seat. They gave me some tea and sat next to me.
"Is there any reason why you visited us, Mitsuri-san?"
"That's right, shouldn't you be busy training that man who recently claims to have ability to see the future?"
"W-Well I-I just want to ask something."
I was nervous, feeling my heart was running a race taking a deep breath before telling them what had happened for the past few months. They didn't say anything, only listened to every encounter.
After I finished they were silent looking at me with Makio opting for a wide smile while Hinatsuru's proud smile. It made me confused why they make such faces.
Did I say something wrong? What if I shouldn't have told them and kept to myself? I want to hide in hole and cry.
"Hahahaha congrats! You found your man!"
Makio wholeheartedly laughed, patting my back and wondering what she meant as I blush, calling Ryuu my man is embarrassing. I hardly know him but….now I think I've been craving to know more about him.
"You might be confused but what you just said proves you've fallen in love with him."
Hinatsuru words cause me to feel silence before recalling every moment and feelings I had that cause me to blush.
"You don't need to feel embarrassed! I'm happy that you've found your man. I want to see this kid and teach him not to break your heart!"
"W-Wait don't hurt him! Also...he has Shinobu-san as his lover already…."
"But that doesn't mean you should give up now? If Shinobu doesn't mind sharing then you still have a chance to be with him."
"I mean it's not too bad once you've gotten used to it!"
They made it sound easy but….it made my feelings more clearer than before and wanted to see if I truly loved him. At first, his strength drew me in since it is what I wanted in a man but eventually it changed and sought that what I wanted was a man that would accept who I am.
I was determined to tell him how I feel without holding back and thank Makio and Hinatsuru before staying for a few minutes.
Afterwards I headed to find him and once I told him everything was wholeheartedly accepted by him. I learned many things about him and how everything is.
I didn't regret it after learning everything that he had said and continued being by his side helping him till the end.
