Chương 68: Two girls that love the same heart

Author : Double chapter but you ain't getting tomorrow.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

[3rd POV]

It can't be.

How can this be?

Kanae Kocho pressed her heart which was beating wildly in the confines of her chest. It felt like it wanted to break out of its prison and run away from her.

Because it was hurting.

Why was it hurting?

"Congratulations on your engagement."

Ah, was it really because of that? Was her heart really hurting because he was engaged with another girl?

She told herself she didn't have feelings for him. Her mind convinced her heart that it was not in love.

But now, her heart was in pain and it called her mind a liar.

Liar, you love him. Liar, you want him.

Why did you lie?

It was because her sister was also in love with him. She thought it wouldn't do good if she loved the same man as Shinobu.

She also thought it was inappropriate to have feelings for someone younger than her, someone she first knew as a young boy.

But people rarely have a choice in who they love, do they? And the heart wants what the heart can't have.

She loves him, it's clear now.

She just couldn't believe that it took losing him to finally realise that. It was like realising how much you needed the sun after night came.

She realised it too late and that's why it hurts.

Everything that happened next was a blur. Her whole being was occupied with the emotions she had been ignoring all this time.

She was barely aware even when the fight between Seiji and Gyomei took place. She only snapped out of her daze when she saw him hurt with her sharp and medically trained eyes.

She immediately ran up to him and analysed his body. He was bruised in some places and his final attack had managed to cause damage to his own body.

But there were no other injuries.

'Thank God.'

"Thank you," he said and gave her a small smile.

She did not know whether she liked him stoic or expressive. When he didn't smile, it nagged at her heart but when he did, it increased her blood pressure.

She simply mirrored his smile and ran off as quickly as possible.

When did she start loving him? Was it when he hit puberty and grew into a handsome young man? Was it when he helped her save patients with his special eyes? Was it when he saved Kanao and she saw his kindness?

Or was it during the many times he saved her, when he was always there when she needed someone?

She didn't know. She had been ignoring any feelings that emerged. Only now when those feelings burst out did she even realise she had feelings for him.

Honestly, it was stupid of her. How immature.

It was her mistake.

..

..

...

....Or was it?

That was a question that appeared in her mind as she was waiting for him outside of the house while Seiji met Ubuyashiki.

Why was she acting like everything was over? She just realised that she loved him and at the very next moment, she was supposed to destroy her love?

Who decided that?

A random girl whom he met a couple of months ago? She didn't think so.

Kanae had dedicated herself to others all her life. She dedicated herself to her sister, she sacrificed all her time and effort to save others as a doctor and risked her life every day to protect the weak.

So this time, she thinks she deserves to be selfish just a little.

She made the mistake of following her mind and staying passive with her feelings. Now she was going to follow her heart and act upon her feelings.

Seiji was engaged, sure, but it couldn't be that serious yet, there was not enough time to be so. That meant she still had time to show her feelings, a simple engagement could alwasy be broken again.

She also apologised to her sister. If she did not act on it, Seiji was going to fall into another girl's hand anyway.

So she decided to no longer ignore her feelings anymore.

She loves him. She wants him.

And she sure as hell was going to try and make him feel the same way.

(In another location)

Mitsuri suddenly stopped eating her food as her womanly instincts felt a threat.

"Hmmm? Do you not like the food?" asked a woman who wore the standard Demon Slayer uniform with a katana strapped on her waist.

"Eh?" Mitsuri snapped out of it and immediately said, "Nonono, It's nothing like that, the food is delicious."

"I know I'm not nearly as good at cooking compared to slaying demons. So by all means, don't be shy to say if you don't like it."

"I told you, it's not like that." Mitsuri said, "I just suddenly had a weird feeling."

It was logical. After all, the threat of an onee-san with maximum ara ara~ vibe going after your man was a threat, even to the likes of Mitsuri Kanroji.

She was currently under the wings of a female demon slayer at the rank of Hinoe. She had been staying with her for a day, waiting for further instructions from the master of the Demon Slayer Corps.

During this time, Mitsuri had learned much about demon slayers and the ongoing war between humans and demons.

She also got to see first-hand how incredible Demon Slayers actually were. The girl beside her, Satsuki, was one of the strongest female demon slayers who was a Water Breath user.

Mitsuri got to see her in battle first-hand and was surprised to find out that Satsuki was many times stronger than she was when she fought.

That truly opened Mitsuri's eyes. She never thought she'd see a woman stronger than her before. She thought it was impossible.

..

"Satsuki, what did you say your rank was again?" Mitsuri asked after a long stretch of silence.

The middle-aged woman thought about it for a while before saying with pride, "I am at the rank of Hinoe. The only ranks above me are Kinoto and Kinoe."

There were only a handful of people who were at the rank of Hinoe so she had every reason to be proud of her rank.

"I see, that's incredible," Mitsuri said while looking up at the sky. She was not used to camping outside as a city girl but one thing she liked about it was the perpetual incredible views.

"Do you know a Demon Slayer by the name of Seiji Shigan?" Mitsuri asked. Her fiance was always on her mind but she suddenly missed him even more with the weird premonition in her heart.

"!!!!!"

"I thought you were new to the Demon Slayer Corps, so how did you know his name?" Satsuki asked before she answered her own question, "Oh, did he save you once?"

"Eh, yes, kinda," Mitsuri answered. He indeed saved her from a demon that night in the mountains. She did not want to elaborate more because she was still a bit shy.

"So, what rank will he be compared to you?"

"People like Seiji Shigan are not comparable to me. They are called the Hashiras," she answered.

Mitsuri creased her eyebrows. She said there were only two ranks above her, Knoto and Kinoe, so does that mean Seiji was a rank below her?

"Does that mean he is ranked below you?"

Satsuki blinked before she laughed, "Hahaha, no, not like that. It's quite the opposite, Seiji Shigan is too strong to be in the Demon Slayer ranks."

"?"

"People like him are called Hashira, otherwise known as pillars. They are the pillars that support the Demon Slayer Corp as a whole, currently, there are only six active pillars," she explained.

"The person who saved you, Seiji Shigan is especially special even among the pillars. He is said to be the single most important factor in the organisation due to his sheer efficiency, often referred to as the 'pillar of pillars'."

Mitsuri was left speechless.

"Does that mean he is strong?"

"Of course. He is probably the strongest." she answered, "Each of the Hashria is different from us normal human beings. They are the people who deal with the strongest demons."

Mitsuri remembered the night when Seiji told her he was the strongest. She blushed when she realized that there was no bluff in his words.

It was not that she didn't believe him then but this was another layer of proof of his words.

But in the midst of the admiration she felt, there was also a bubbling nervousness. She would have to work extremely hard to be able to fight alongside him.

He was at the very top and to always be beside him, she would need to reach there too.

Whatever the case may be, Mitsuri was determined. And she believed that with her love, everything was possible.

"Can you tell me, how can I become a Hashria like him?"

"Aiming tall aren't we?" Satsuki chuckled but thought none of it. But she continued the conversation anyway while they ate the food.

Chương 69: Emergency!!

[Seiji's POV]

Okay, guys, it's an emergency.

I repeat it's a fucking emergency.

What's the emergency you asked?

"Here, let me feed you," Kanae said, taking my bowl of rice before she extended her hand to feed me.

'It is her, she is the emergency.'

"You know, I can feed myself now," I said with a strained smile and she gave me a no-nonsense look.

"I insist," she said like a mother.

Mommy?

What else could I do except open my mouth obediently? After that, a small smile crept on her face.

I swallowed the rice with an audible gulp before moving a bit away from her. But then she mirrored my movement and hopped closer to me like a small rabbit.

"How is it?"

It's fucking rice. How the fuck else would it taste like?

"It's good," I said.

Yeah, well, the suspicion was true.

Kanae was in love with me. Or at least, she was acting like a high school girl in love and she was trying to make me fall for her.

And she was horrible at it.

You'd expect an onee-san like her to be extremely experienced and well-versed in the battles of love but nope, Kanae Kocho was horrible in trying to make me fall for her.

Obviously, it was because she had never been in love before. It was her first time as much as it was mine.

This was a complete contrast with her ara ara~ vibe and you know what...

It was absolutely fucking adorable.

Like Oh. Ma. Gawd. did you really put red camellia on the table and say you put them there for me? (Red camellia symbolizes love and longing in flower language)

I was aware of her feelings and knew what she was trying to do. She was so bad at it that even a dense harem isekai MC would be able to get the hint.

But it was more effective than simply following the tradition and woo me very expertly. I couldn't help but gush inwardly how adorable she was.

It has only been a day since we had the Hashira meeting and I think she changed when she heard about my engagement with Mitsuri.

Whatever feelings she had for me seemed to be dragged out to the surface when she heard about the engagement and realize that she was going to lose me.

To be honest, I was still in the process of digesting that information.

Kanae was in love with him?

You mean the girl who always treated me as a younger brother and constantly teased me as if I was a little kid, was in love with me?

You mean the girl whom I had been peeking at for over two years in every spar we had was trying to earn my affection?

When? How? Why?

To say that I was sad and conflicted because I was already engaged with Mitsuri would be a big fat lie. Instead, I could only feel flattered and happy with the situation.

Does that make me a scumbag?

"You are zoning out Seiji, focus on the food." Kanae snapped me out of my thoughts. "Here, say ahhhh,"

I didn't say ahhh like she asked.

Instead, I opened my mouth widely in a hippopotamus ahh way to assert dominance.

She just giggled and continued feeding me.

Did you notice that I was more unhinged than usual? Yeah, that was because I did not know how to react to her feelings.

I'll be the first one to admit that I didn't get bitches in my past life. I was not ugly or a loser by any means but I was 13 years old and no woman wanted to take the risk of loving me.

So this was the first time I had the affection of two girls at once. And I did not want to reject either of them and they meant a lot to me.

On another hand, I was not a believer of harem like Tengen Uzui. I believe in true love. I think true love was special and could only happen once with one person in your life.

So I was in this weird dilemma where I focused only on the positive side and ignored the drama for the future me to face.

"You are pampering me a lot today. Is there something you want to ask?" I played the dense main character role. I hid the fact that my eyes could see everything she wanted to hide.

"No reason. Is it really so strange that I care for my patient?" she asked.

When there were literally patients with broken limbs in the infirmary and you chose to feed me, then yes, it was a little strange.

"I guess not," I said and let her continue to do as she liked.

She continued feeding me until I finished my meal and I felt like my stomach couldn't hold any more.

Would it be wrong for me to play dumb and simply enjoy her affection?

Actually, don't answer that because I was going to do just that anyways.

"Can I get a lap pillow?"

"....."

A wise man once said you miss a 100% of the shots you don't take.

So I will take a shot at every opportunity I have.

"..."

"..."

"Sure, "

Fortune indeed favours the brave.

///////////////

The soft sensation of her flesh against my cheek was everything I thought I needed in life. It was warm and I could smell her, she smelled like flowers.

"Seiji, what kind of woman do you like?" Kanae asked while nudging me to look at her.

I looked up at her and her face was almost entirely hidden by her melons even though she was leaning forward. Her eyes seemed genuinely curious to know the answer so I thought about it for a few seconds.

"The kind of woman that loves me," I said in the end.

She smiled, "Of course, she will love you. But I meant more in terms of physical attributes,"

Is she really asking me the legendary boobs or butt question which was a vital question always asked between middle school boys?

Well, there were many physical attributes of women that attracted men. There was the pretty face, the boobs, the ass, the thighs, the legs, the feet etc.

I could say any of them and Kanae Kocho should be happy because she was blessed in every single aspect of them. Such was the stunning beauty of the flower Hashira.

But personally, my favourite was the one thing that raised men.

Boobs.

So yes, I was a boob-man.

"I like them cute and with a nice pair of boobs." I said.

"Boobs huh," She said thoughtfully while looking at hers before her lips curved in self-satisfaction.

"What about you? What type of man do you like Kanae, both physically and in terms of character." I asked her in return.

She hummed and thought about my question for a while before she said.

"I would prefer someone taller than me, not too scary looking and with kind eyes. And in terms of character...." she trailed off before casting a glance at me.

Then she covered my eyes with both hands and said, "You,"

My X-ray eyes froze and I felt my ears start to heat up so I hid them. She took her soft hands away and with a smile, she said.

"Someone strong, reliable and loves flowers I guess."

",,,okay."

We spent another hour just staying like that and having small talk which ranged from what happened while I was away to how Kanao was progressing in her life. She said she was busy following Shinobu around and helping the patients.

She never asked me about what happened in Tokyo or about my engagement though. I wonder if she was not interested or too afraid to ask.

But in the end, all great things must come to a bitter end.

And mine came in the form of Raven and a Kusagai crow.

Raven flew towards me and landed on my chest and a Kusagai crow flew overhead, dictating a mission for me. Although I loved my job, I think I love laying on Kanae's lap more.

"Seiji Shigan!! Seiji Shigan!! You must travel to Mizuhara village which was recently visited by a demon!! Investigate and hunt down this demon."

Duty calls I guess.

"I guess you have to go now," Kanae whispered softly. "Stay safe in your mission Seiji."

"You too Kanae. And remember what I tell you, please only take normal slaying missions and be extremely careful."

"I'll keep that in mind,"
