𝟎𝟎𝟓
That night, I got a bunch of rest, and when I woke up the next morning, I felt perfectly fine. There was probably still a little poison in my system, but I think I'll live.
Slowly, I got out of bed and walked out of the room. I didn't realize just how big this place was until I stepped into the long, vast hallway. Now I see how Muichiro wandered into my room... He must've gotten lost.
I walked down the right, not going anywhere in particular. Eventually, I found an opening to the outside, leading to a courtyard. In the courtyard, there were three boys training, one of which was Tanjiro. ... Geez... I didn't know demon slayers were so muscular...
I yelped, feeling a sudden hand on my shoulder. I turned around and saw Muichiro standing there, his eyes oddly blank.
"Mui...! Don't do that! You scared me half to death!" I giggled, hitting him lightheartedly.
He said nothing for a moment and just gazed at me, making me feel a bit unnerved. I opened my mouth to speak again, but he beat me to it.
"Why are you out of bed?" He asked, tilting his head slightly.
"Oh! Well, I was feeling better, so I thought I'd-" I started, but he cut me off.
"So you can come to my estate?"
"Huh? I never said-"
Without letting me finish - again - he held my hand and dragged me down the hallway in the direction that I came from. As we walked, we ran into Shinobu, who looked between the two of us.
"... Muichiro? What are you doing with my patient?" She asked, narrowing her eyes just a little.
"She said she felt better, so she's coming with me," he said in a matter-of-fact tone, pushing past her.
"Wha-? She still needs her medicine!" She called out after us, but he continued on.
"Muichiro, didn't you hear her? I'm not fully better!" I said, trying to pull out of his grip only to find that he was holding me very tightly.
He stopped, sighed, and looked back at me.
"You said you were better, [NAME]..." He huffed.
"I said I felt better. There could very well still be a bunch of poison in me."
Seriously, what's gotten into him? Have these past few years really changed him this much?
He looked at me and then looked at something behind me. I followed his gaze and saw Shinobu walking back over to us, a small bottle in her hand. She didn't look impressed, and the corner of her lip was twitching ever so slightly.
"If you insist on taking her, then at least give her this medicine," she said, getting closer to Muichiro and putting the bottle in his hand. She looked over at me, her eyes softening. "And [LASTNAME]-san, don't hesitate to come back if you're still feeling unwell."
I nodded and returned the smile, but it didn't last very long before Muichiro started dragging me again. I sighed in annoyance, starting to get irritated with his behavior. But... I didn't want to yell at him. It may be stupid, but with everything he's gone through, maybe he's just happy to see me. Yeah... happy.
