...
I probably should've paid more attention when I was getting my measurements done... I stood in my room, staring at myself in the mirror. My uniform... It didn't look like that of a fighter. I looked more like a courtesan. Like I belonged in a brothel. The chest was exposed without any way to use the button on the sides to close it up, and the skirt was extremely short.
I sighed and rubbed my eyes, still feeling exhausted from the other day. I looked to the side, watching as Nezuko slept peacefully. She's been asleep for months now, and Tanjiro is still trying to break his boulder... I shook my head, returning my attention to my uniform. I need to do something about this... I can't just walk around half naked.
So, I came up with a solution. I wore a shirt underneath to cover up my chest, and I wore some stockings along with some legwarmers. Now fully-clothed, I added something extra: a large [FAVORITE COLOR] ribbon around my waist along with my haori. It was perfect. I looked cute and covered. Now, all I had to do was rest and wait for my sword to arrive.

I sat on a cushion, dozing off next to a window. The warm sunrays hit my skin just right. It's been fifteen days since I came back. My sword should be coming at any moment now... As if on cue, I heard the sound of wind chimes outside.
Curious, I stood and walked out. Walking towards the house was a person with their head bowed, wearing a large hat with wind chimes attached to it and a long haori with a sunflower pattern. I watched them curiously, wondering if they were the one who was going to deliver my sword. They stopped directly in front of me, still not lifting their head.
"My name is Haganezuka," they suddenly said, revealing a masculine voice, "I am the one who forged the blade of [LASTNAME] [NAME]."
"I'm [LASTNAME] [NAME]! Please, come inside," I offered.
As if he didn't hear me, he sat on the ground, unwrapping the box on his back. He started rambling about... something about the sword. Sunlight mountain ore or whatever...
"Um... Don't you want to come inside?" I asked.
He didn't listen to a word I said. I sighed and just watched as he pulled out a katana from the box.
"Go on. Pick it up, and we'll see what color it turns into," he said, offering me the box.
I leaned down to pick it up. I got a good grip on the handle and looked at the grey blade, waiting for it to change. Surely enough, it slowly faded into a pretty iridescent opal color. Moving it slightly made it shift between blues and pinks and yellows.
"Extraordinary..." The man murmured under his breath, standing, "I've never seen anything like it! You must be a very special child! [LASTNAME], was it?"
"As energetic as always, Haganezuka," Urokodaki-sama interrupted, appearing in the doorway.
I kept my eyes trained on my sword, still in awe of how beautiful it was.
"Caw! Caw!"
I was snapped out of my thoughts by the sound of my kasugai crow. I looked up and saw her soaring towards us. Lifting up one arm, I allowed her to land on me.
"Go north! Go north!" She yelped, seeming anxious, "Small children have been disappearing in a small village in the north!"
I looked at her for a moment before furrowing my brows. This is it... My first mission.
