[Demon Slayer] Prequel: Yichuan Wu

A freewheeling, goofy comedy.

Blurb:

Kyojuro Rengoku still remembered the first time he met Kirikawa Kiri. The child was silently crying as she clutched her parents' bodies. Around her lay the scattered remains of a demon, its head pinned to the ground with an axe.

The girl saw him and raised her head in a daze. Beneath her black hair, her eyes held not only despair, but also a burning fury. So Kyojuro Rengoku reached out to Kirikawa Kiri. "Would you like to join the Demon Slayer Corps?"

Kyojuro Rengoku had once worried about Kirikawa Kiri's mental health, until he realized what she was really like. In the end, watching this little menace who would tear the roof off the house if left alone for three days, Kyojuro Rengoku silently doubled her training regimen.

Later, Kirikawa Kiri became the Moon Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Now Kyojuro Rengoku took a small sip of sake and watched Kirikawa Kiri fool around with the Kocho Sisters, while the other Hashira chatted and laughed. As always, he smiled too.

Outside, the sky was blue, the clouds white, and the sun shone brightly.

This child had grown into an adult who could stand on her own, he thought.

[Notes]

1. I snapped every blade that could be snapped, because I couldn't bear the tragedy.

2. This should be a happy, goofy comedy? It has a happy ending, right? (I'm not entirely sure.)

3. The timeline may be chaotic? OOC warning!!!

Theme: Life must go on.
