How to Become Everyone's Favorite in the Taisho Era

“How do you become everyone’s favorite in the Taisho era?”

Yushao: Thanks for asking.

I’m from the Flower Kingdom, and I’m with the Demon Slayer Corps. I used to be the Water Hashira’s guardian, and now I’m his little shadow.

Right now, I’m munching on the ohagi the Wind Hashira bought me. Later, I’m planning to go to the Butterfly Mansion and hang out with all the adorable, pretty girls.

My childhood friend Bai Ze invited me to his Peach Blossom Utopia for a drink, but I only recently rose from the ashes. I’m still an underage little phoenix, so I absolutely can’t touch alcohol. I firmly and righteously turned him down.

I heard that an Upper Rank demon named Douma wants me to join his cult, but all I want is for this little brat to taste the power of Primordial Flame!

As for how I became everyone’s favorite, I don’t really have any secrets.

It’s just that everyone likes me so much and spoils me rotten. (/≥▽≤)/

After one Hashira meeting, the drowsy Water Hashira accidentally left the little bird hidden in his sleeve at the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters.

The other eight Hashira were utterly baffled as they looked at the fluffy little red bird, cowering in fear.

They really hadn’t expected the usually taciturn Water Hashira to have a thing for keeping birds.

Before they could even comment, the little red bird suddenly transformed into a living, breathing little girl. She looked at them with tears in her eyes, so scared she couldn’t even speak.

The Eight Hashira: ? Hello, police? Someone here is secretly keeping an endangered animal!

The Water Hashira: Let me explain!!!

◎Reader’s Guide:

1. My take on phoenixes: they look like baby birds when young, and copper can’t be refined from them.

2. A phoenix raises a silly goofball, then the silly goofball raises the phoenix.

3. My writing is average, so proceed with caution.

Theme: Rather than chasing eternity, treasure every moment in the present and protect the bonds and light deep in your heart.
