Tanjiro worked hard around the Tokito House. Harder than I did, at least. That feeling of dread only grew bigger as time passed, and I didn't have the energy to do much.
I sat in my room, silently waiting for Tanjiro's return. The door slid open, and I assumed it was Tanjiro, but when I looked, I saw the oiran. Her beautiful face was scrunched up slightly in concern.
"Are you alright, [NAME]? The girls told me that you've barely left your room since you arrived. Are you ill?" She asked, her voice soft and kind.
I'm lucky to have been taken in the house with the kind oiran. I've heard that, at the Kyougoku House where Zenitsu was, the oiran was cruel and coldhearted.
"Ah... No... I'm just tired, is all... Sorry, Koinatsu oiran..." I mumbled.
She walked closer to me and kneeled down.
"Is it that time of the month?" She whispered.
"Um... No..."
I don't get those anymore, not since I've turned into a demon. Koinatsu pursed her painted lips, looking over me as if suspecting something was off. She seemed to brush it off, because she said nothing and reached into her top layer for something.
"Here, have some candy," she said, giving me a handkerchief to put little chocolate balls in, "They should make you feel better."
Well... I can't really eat human food, as it makes me ill, but it's the thought that counts.
"Really? Thank you, oiran."
She nodded and stood, walking out of the room. As she left, Tanjiro entered.
"Oh? Koinatsu oiran gave you some candy, too? She's so nice, isn't she?" He said sweetly.
I offered him the chocolates. Even if I could eat them, I felt too nauseous to do so.
"Something isn't right, Tanjiro... The demon here... It isn't normal..." I said, looking down at the tatami flooring.
Tanjiro said nothing and just looked at me. His gaze softened ever so slightly.
"... I'll be sure to tell Uzui about it," he finally said, but those words brought me no solace.

"Muzan-sama!"
The man looked at the girl ominously as she appeared before him. She seemed frantic.
"Muzan-sama, I found her! That girl you've spent so long looking for! She's at the red light district!"
He suddenly stood and walked over to the kneeling girl. He grabbed her by her cheeks and tilted her head up. His crimson eyes looked into her lime green ones.
"Daki... You realize how vital this is to me, don't you?" He hummed.
"Yes, I do, Muzan-sama!"
"Good... Then you'll get her for me, won't you?"
"Of course, sir! Anything for you!"
He grinned, showing off his razor-sharp canines.
"Good... You're dismissed."
She bowed once more before leaving, almost like she disappeared into thin air. His grin only grew wider. His patience was paying off. With each passing day, he was getting closer and closer to his beloved. Everything, slowly but surely, was falling into place.

୨୧ Taisho-Era Secrets
➢ Koinatsu knows that there's more to it than [NAME] just being tired.
➢ Daki, despite not knowing [NAME], doesn't really like her since Muzan says that she's second only to her beauty.
➢ Tbh, I didn't know what to write, so this is more of a filler than anything.
➢ KOINATSU IS SOSOSOSOSOSO PRETTYYYYY
