Demon Slayer: Douma and Kotoha

Upper Rank Two, Doma, had rainbow-colored eyes, but could not see the world in color. After dying of food poisoning, an oversight by a trainee spirit reaper sent him into a new life as a newborn, with his memories of his past life intact. In this life, just like the last, he still had rainbow-colored eyes. After his parents abandoned him, he learned fortune-telling from an old man. Then, by chance, he met Kotoha. She really was as gentle and beautiful as ever. Their first meeting was just like it had been in his previous life. She was so adorable that even someone as emotionless as him felt tenderness toward her, yet she was being abused by her ugly husband. What a silly girl. She hadn’t changed at all. Maybe this time he should take her on as his own little underling.

Seeing Doma straighten his sleeve for the fiftieth time, his friend finally asked, “What’s with you? You’ve been fussing with your clothes all day.” In the past hour, he’d seen Doma straighten his sleeves exactly fifty times, once every two minutes on average.

Doma said, “These clothes are special today, so I have to be extra careful.” His friend glanced at the hem. “Special? Aren’t all your clothes custom-made…” Before he could finish, Doma pointed at his sleeve.

“!!!”

His friend followed his gaze and saw the embroidered name “Kotoha” on the hem. “These clothes!”

Doma answered proudly, “Yes, my wife made them herself, so of course they’re special.”

“Someone like you, a single dog, wouldn’t understand.”

His friend: “…”

Later on…

His friend: “Want to grab something to eat?”

Doma: “How did you know Kotoha brought me lunch? She even made it herself.”

His friend: “Are you insane?”
