[Demon Slayer] Upper Rank One Is No Match for Me

"Young Master."

From behind, I saw his head lift slightly. After hesitating for a moment, he turned to look at me.

There was an unreadable struggle in his displeased gaze.

I gently raised my hand toward him and asked,

"Can you hold my hand?"

I wanted to crawl out of this mess. I didn't want to keep agonizing over it every day.

If I tried to accept the situation, perhaps I could see things differently.

What could I do about the resentment in my heart...? Enichi...

After hearing what I said,

Tsugikuni Michikatsu's eyes widened slightly. Something flickered through them, or perhaps I imagined it. He quickly turned away and averted his gaze.

But at the same time, he took my hand.

He really did hold on tight, as if he had no intention of letting go.

From beginning to end, I overlooked something important. That oversight was the first seed of disaster I planted, and it may also have been one of the reasons Tsugikuni Michikatsu later chose to become a demon...

"Will you marry me?"

Enichi lowered his eyes. His answer was still the same as it had been two years ago, unchanged. But I could see a little more sadness in his expression.

"My older brother will like you too."

He used the word "too."

So I smiled anyway.

At the time, all I cared about was the fact that Enichi liked me too...

But I forgot that Enichi's words had always come true...

P.S.

A somewhat awful heroine X Tsugikuni Michikatsu (Kokushibo)

Don't get your hopes up for a happy ending.

The story begins in the Warring States period and will still end up in the Taisho era.

If anything differs from the original Demon Slayer setting, please treat it as my own headcanon. No offense intended.
