“Hey, Y/N, what are you doing?”

“… Hm? I'm helping to bandage the injured!”

Daki tilted her head in response, and with curiosity sparkling in her eyes, pointed to the bandages Y/N was holding. “Can you teach me how to do that too?”

“… Well, I can! I only know how to do simple first aid though, so if you want to learn more, you will have to ask Aoi or Shinobu.”

Daki nodded in response, eagerly waiting for her to start explaining how to do the treatment, one of the injured swordsman ended up being the victim of their training session, though his injuries weren't serious enough for Daki to be able to worsen his condition, which is the reason he was chosen in the first place.

“Did I do it right?”

“Hm… It looks a bit clumsy, but it will do its job! Good job Daki!” Y/N said happily, clapping a bit.

“Thank you miss!” The man they were bandaging said, he didn't really look offended, even though they were using him as a training dummy or something.

“M-me? You are thanking me?” Daki commented back, her cheeks a bit flustered.

“Yeah! Who else would I be thanking?”

“I-… I-”

“You are supposed to say, 'you're welcome' in these situations.” Y/N whispered to her as soon as she noticed her struggle to answer.

“You're welcome!!” The demon exclaimed, a bit more louder than necessary, the man only chuckled at her antics in response.

As the swordsman left, Daki only stared blankly at the door.

“Daki…? What's wrong?” Y/N asked, a worried frown in her face.

“… When I worked at the red-light district, countless people thanked me all the time… but… it felt different this time…”

“How so…?”

“… I don't know… I think… I think it made me happy?”

“Happy?”

“Can I help you treat the other injured?”

“Sure thing!”

After some hours, Daki ended up being surprisingly talented in treating other people, so much that Y/N quickly ran out of things to teach and had to pass her to Aoi.

And that's how Daki was promoted from weightlifter to assistant nurse in only one day! Though she still had to use her obi to help the people of the mansion to move heavy things from time to time.

The thing is, now that Daki was helping in taking care of the injured, Y/N found herself without anything to do.

Of course, she could go expend all of her day training like Tanjiro and the others do, but she doesn't want to do so for three reasons :

First : If she were to count her other lives, she's been training for centuries and is (very rightfully) tired of doing that.

Second : Her current body composition is still of a normal person from the 21st century, so she will most definitely collapse if she follows the same workout routine these three monsters do.

And the third reason is…

“B-BE CAREFUL Y/N! THAT THING IS HEAVY!”

“Do it slowly, okay?”

Remember when she almost died trying to save Rengoku? Think of it as the consequences of her own actions.

Even though everyone knows more than enough that she can handle herself just fine, Tanjiro and Zenitsu act like she will break at the slight bit of exercise, which annoys her. A lot.

So much that when she DOES go train, she doesn't do it when they are around.

Not because she doesn't want to trouble them, but because she doesn't know if she will be able to resist the urge of throwing the boulder at them if they are around, and she can't kill the main characters this soon.

However, since she doesn't have anything better to do, she will have to resist it.

“BE CAREFUUUUL!!!”

…. No matter how much she wants to punch them.

“Y/N! BE-”

“If you say 'be careful' one more time, I swear I'm going to shove this boulder up in your a-”

“Y/N! THERE YOU ARE!” Luckily, Suma managed to keep this book family-friendly thanks to her sudden visit.

“Suma!” Y/N turned to her with a happy smile, completely changing expressions and running up to her, leaving a Zenitsu who just saw his life flash through his eyes behind.

“A date! Let's go on a date!”

After what happened with Kanao in the other day, Y/N decided to not immediately assume it was a real date and only said with a blank smile : “What kind of date?”

“Jeez! At least explain things properly to her!” Makio appeared behind Suma, bonking her head. “Waah! I'm sorry!”

“There's going to be a party in a restaurant nearby, why don't we all go together?” Hinatsuru approached her with a polite smile.

“I don't know, I have many things to do-”

“You don't mean training, do you? I can hear how painfully bored you're feeling!” Uzui commented.

“Jeez, shut up you and your privacy invading ability! At least let me keep some of my class!” Y/N said back, annoyed.

“Privacy invading ability! That's a new way to describe it! Haha!”

“DON'T ACT LIKE IT WAS A COMPLIMENT-”

“OUCH! OUCH! WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS PULLING MY HAIR???”

After Y/N finished taking out her anger, she stepped away from him with a sigh and pointed at three boys behind her with her chin. “Can they go too?”

She would feel a bit bad if she were to go to a party and left them here, training all day.

“Yeah, whatever, as long as they don't do anything to embarrass me-”

“Yay!”

The Y/N from the past wasn't ready for what was going to happen at this 'party'.

As soon as they stepped inside, things already were bound to go wrong when a table with several women started saying :

“Hey! Come here sweetie!”

“Who are they calling?” Zenitsu whispered to Tanjiro, confused.

“The cutie with H/C hair! Come sit with us!”

As you can see, Y/N's ability of being weirdly popular with women is still in effect.

“I'm going there! Bye!” And Y/N's incapability of thinking things through when the subject is women is also in effect.

“W-we lost Y/N to women after only five seconds inside!” Zenitsu said, he didn't even know if he should be jealous of Y/N or of her popularity.

The two definitely felt out of place in there, even more when Inosuke and Uzui's wives left them and immediately went to the buffet to start eating, which honestly, would be the same thing Y/N would do if the girls from before didn't distract her.

Luckily, the two managed to get a table just after, Inosuke also going to sit there while carrying a plate with an obnoxiously big pile of food.

After some minutes of casual talk, Y/N suddenly ran up to their table with a happy expression.

“Heeeey! You guys won't believe what I found!”

“Uhm… Y/N, what's that in your hand?”

“Huh? I don't know! But It's good! Hic!” She responded, holding a bag with yellow beads that looked like candy.

'That smell….' Tanjiro thought in shock, abruptly getting up from the table and slapping away the bag from Y/N's hands.

“Hey!” She pouted as she looked at the beads now all over the floor.

“Y/N, there's alcohol in that! How many did you eat?!”

“Uhm… I don't know? Hic! Like… twenty? Haha!”

“Twenty?! Oh god-”

“UNDERLING'S FACE LOOKS WEIRD!” Inosuke exclaimed, pointing at Y/N's flustered face.

“Whaaa, your face is the one who looks weird!” Y/N said back, showing her tongue to him in a childish way.

“YOU LITTLE-”

“Stupid! Stupid! Idiot! Stupid boar!!”

“DO YOU WANNA FIGHT?!”

“Y-Y/N! Stop provoking him! Just sit there and don't move, I'm going to bring some water for you-” Tanjiro exasperatedly said, forcing her to sit beside Zenitsu. “Zenitsu, please watch her-” He said before leaving.

“Y/N, are you really drunk!? How many fingers are you seeing?” Zenitsu said, showing two fingers to her.

“huuuh?” She looked at him with a blank expression, and instead of responding to his question, she grabbed his hand. “Gyah!”

“wow- Your hand is so pretty~” She commented. “…uh? It started to get sweaty-”

“Y-Y-Y-Y/N-”

She raised her head to look up at him, staring at his face. “Are you nervous? Zenitsu.”

“I-”

“Hm?”

“I CAN'T DO THIS- INOSUKE PLEASE WATCH HER!” Zenitsu screamed, running away from the table.

“I'm back!” Tanjiro appeared, putting a cup with water in the table in front of Y/N. “Huh? Where's Zenitsu?”

“I don't know, underling did something to him and he ran away-” Inosuke responded with a nonchalant expression, going back to eat.

“Y/N, you… you didn't do anything weird, right?”

Ignoring his question, she started to reach out to her uniform buttons, Tanjiro managed to grab both of her hands before she could start unbuttoning it. “WHAAAAAT ARE YOU DOING?!”

“Huuh? It's too hot in here-”

“E-Even so, you can't take off your clothes!”

“…uh? Is that so? Hic! Then you can undress me instead!”

Saying that his face got red was an understatement, it probably got even darker than his hair.

“Y-You aren't supposed to be without clothes at all!! It doesn't matter whether it's you or another person who takes them off! Now, please drink the water!” He flustered responded, pointing to the cup at the table.

“…Tanjiro, I think that cup is trying to seduce me! It doesn't stop dancing at me!”

“HAHAHA! DUMB UNDERLING! A CUP CAN'T DANCE!” Inosuke said, laughing loudly.

“I-Inosuke!” Tanjiro scolded him while almost forcing the water down Y/N's throat, for the sake of his sanity he really needed her to sober up as soon as possible.

“… How are you feeling?” He worriedly asked after she finished drinking it.

“Wow! I'm really happy! There's two Tanjiros!”

“No effect at all-” Tanjiro said with a disappointed tone, letting out a sigh.

“What's going on in here?” Uzui approached their table.

“Ah- if it's Uzui, then he will definitely be able to handle her!”

“Ah! Tengen!” Y/N happily greeted him.

“Okay. I can't do this.” He said after taking one look at her face, turning back and leaving in quick steps.

“H-he ran away?!”

“Tanjiro…” Y/N suddenly said, grabbing his shirt.

“W-what…?”

“I'm not feeling well-”

“Hold on, let me take you outside-”

“I think I will feel better if you give me a kiss~”

“…okay, that's it. Inosuke, take care of her.” And just like the others, Tanjiro also left in defeat.

“HAHA! GOOD TECHNIQUE UNDERLING! YOU DEFEATED TAROUMARU!”

“… Hey, Inosuke, won't you call me by name?” She laid her elbows on the table, resting her chin in the palm of her hands.

“hah?”

“You have been calling me by 'underling' all this time, but I have a name, you know? It would be lovely to hear you calling me by it!”

“I-”

“Come on Inosuke! Say it~”

Inosuke definitely wasn't escaping, of course not! Lord Inosuke never runs away!

So when he also went outside, and saw everyone sitting in there with tired expressions, he wasn't really surprised.

Of course, they can't leave Y/N defenseless and alone like that forever, so they went back eventually.

They preferred not to trouble Uzui and the others, so they decided to leave the party sooner, it was a bit of a fight, but Tanjiro managed to carry her on his back as everyone walked down on the road to go back to the butterfly mansion.

“I didn't expect her to get drunk…” Zenitsu commented.

“Whaaa! I'm not drunk at all!”

“Y/N, please sleep.” Tanjiro said with a tired look.

“sniff.....”

“Y/N?! WHY ARE YOU CRYING??”

“HAAH?! UNDERLING IS CRYING?!”

“I-I'M SORRY, DID I TALK TOO HARSHLY??”

“I won't… I won't let anyone get hurt again…. I will… I will protect everyone-” She started to mumble several things like this in between sobs, the sudden change in her mood caught everyone by surprise.

“Y-Y/N?”

“I don't want to die…. I don't want to die…. I don't want to die…”

“You are fine, Y/N. You aren't going to die….” Zenitsu approached her with a worried frown, patting her head.

“….” In response, she rested her head in Tanjiro's shoulder, going to sleep in this same position.

An uncomfortable silence settled after this, all the three boys, though they didn't say this out aloud, had the same bad feeling :

The feeling that they just heard something that they weren't supposed to.
