Pee-pee

[Seiji's POV]

"She's beautiful isn't she?" the movement of his lips brought me back to the real world.

"Yeah." I said and marvelled at the sword for the last time before sheathing.

"Its one of the best works I've done in my whole life." he admitted with a smile, "I have been practicing on making an odachi so that should be better than the previous one in design as well, not just quality."

"Thank you for all your hard work."

"Bah! Its nothing. It is we who should be thanking you. You're fighting the war for us and keeping everyone safe. I heard you even killed a lower moon so thank you." he said.

"Oh an speaking of swords, how's the one that I made for you? You have not come to me for repairs at all and I assumed it was because you have been inactive. But that's not true so why haven't you come yet? Do you have another smith who repairs your sword?"

"Actually, the sword was never in need of repair. The only damage it got so far were some chips which I was able to smoothen out with sharpening stone myself." I said.

Due to my perfect movement and superior mastery over the sword, there had been no case where I broke my sword or damaged it heavily.

It was not a noticeable thing but its what sets me apart from other swordsmen. If you learn how to cut perfectly at all times, you will find yourself with less damage to your sword.

"Hah! I'd call you a liar if you were anyone else." Hatori said with a smile. He clearly knew the skill it took to not damage your sword in every fight as well.

"Now that I've done what I came here for, I think its time for me to leave."

"So soon? How about we sit down for tea first?"

"Nah, duty calls at the moment. I still have much work to do like delivering a new sword to the Wind Hashira."

"Well then..." I said and put away the odachi before I bowed at a right angle, "Thank you yet again.

Hatori smiled under the mask, "I wish you all the best in your future endeavours kid."

"You too."

Hatori turned around and walked away from the Flower Mansion. I watched his image disappearing into the horizon and I went back into the mansion.

Now I have received my Hashira sword.

I guess that means its time to finally continue my journey again.

It's been fun.

(The next day)

"Couldn't you stay for a few more days?"

"Stop it Shinobu, he is also a Hashira, he has his own duty to uphold now."

I smiled as the two sisters stood in front of the Flower Mansion to bid me farewell. I was fully equipped with my Demon Salyer uniform along with my new sword - fully ready to take on all the evil of the world once more.

"Your sister's right Shibi. Besides, a few more days won't make a difference, it will only make it harder to say goodbye eventually." I said and the girl had a healthy blush on her face when I called her Shibi.

It was a nickname I gave her because Shinobu can be a mouthful. And she can do nothing about it because I earned the right fair and square in Hanafuda (Japanese card games).

Kanae just smiled teasingly, seeing her sister blush and all.

"Safe travels to you Seiji."

"And you too lady Kanae."

"I told you you don't have to call me that."

"Sorry, it stuck to me since everyone in the mansion called you so." I said.

"Make sure to visit us again whenever you have time." she said and I nodded.

"I wish you safety on your journey as well." Shinobu said but then she smirks lightly, "But not too safe, maybe get some injuries now and then so that you are forced to return."

"Shinobu!"

"Thank you for your hospitality so far." I said and turned around before leaving the mansion.

It was fun spending time with the Kocho sisters but now the slice of life has to end. It was time to end the vain existence of demons again.

After a few minutes of walking, the mansion had already disappeared under the thick forest. I looked up into the sky and noticed Raven flying overhead.

She flew down before making a nest on my head again.

"Ready Raven?"

And that was yes in morse code.

"Then lets begin."

"Seiji Shigan!! Seiji Shigan!! Seiji Shigan!! A demon has been sighted in a village located to the north! A demon has been sighted in a village located to the north beside Mount Kashmish!! Find the demon and kill it!! Caw!! Caw!!"

[3rd POV]

Shinobu watched Seiji leave and if she was being honest in her inner monologue, she was going to miss him.

It was understandable, the past few days had been extremely fun. Seiji was possibly the only friend she had of her age so in a way, it felt like a childhood friend moving away.

She broke out of her thoughts when he finally disappeared on the horizon. She turned to her sister only to find her smiling teasingly at her. For some reason, Shinobu immediately got embarrassed.

"You like him, don't you?" Kanae said with a knowing look.

Like was a strong word.

It was also the perfect word.

Yeah, she likes him, so what!!

"..N-No." Shinobu replied. "It's not like that."

"Oh my, I've never seen you blush like that ufufufufu." Kanae teased, "You're so adorable."

"But at least I know my sister knows how to choose them. Seiji is quite the looker, isn't he? Not only that, he seemed to have a good character and he is strong." Kanae said and then paused.

"I would move fast if I was you."

"I said it's not like that!!" Shinobu denied it and huffed, "It's not that serious."

After all, she was at the age where her crush could change like the weather. A childhood crush was not that serious. What she valued more was the friendship they now had between them.

"Besides, aren't you also interested in him?" Shinobu asked her sister with narrowed eyes.

"My, my, already so protective. Well, it's true that I am interested in him but not like you though." She said, "For example, unlike you I don't want to see his pee pee."

"I don't wanna see it either!!" Shinobu said, causing Kanae to giggle.

"And don't call it pee pee, there is a perfect medical name for it."

"Oh, and what is that?" Kanae asked and then waited.

"...."

"...."

Shinobu knew but at the moment, she was suddenly conscious about saying it. Its embarrassing.

"I hate you."

"Peepee it is."
