Omae Wa Mou Shindeiru [DISCONTINUED]

120: Won't You Say My Name?

♪───Ｏ（≧∇≦）Ｏ────♪

You insisted that Tanjiro and Nezuko should go meet up with Mitsuri, while you and Sekido went to talk to Miku. You told him it was because it'll be awkward since you and Miku will most likely be crying the entire time. But the truth was that Tanjiro needed Mitsuri's approval, and to hear about the secret weapon in the village.

Not only that, but you're not sure if you saw Tanjiro give the flame hand-guard to a sword-smith or not.

But NOOOooOoOo!

Tanjiro has to follow you because he hasn't seen you or hung out with you in months.

...

To which you agreed that he was right. But, he couldn't be with you, at least not right now.

You need to have Tanjiro and Mitsuri bond with each other. You don't know if her approval is crucial, but you know after that, she tells him about the secret in this village.

Time will not wait for you to get the plot back on track: this is one of those times when just being one day off can fuck over everyone. You really shouldn't have tagged along knowing damn well Tanjiro would want to hang out with you.

But with the possibility that Miku might die when the Upper Moons arrive, and you haven't even gotten to see her again was enough for you to say fuck it.

So after talking about it with Sekido, it was time to finally tell Tanjiro the truth about... everything.

"Tanjiro, I know we haven't seen each other in forever. I want to keep you by my side, too. But..." You clear your throat, "You have to hang out with Mitsuri, at least until she leaves tonight."

"...Why?" Tanjiro looks away with a dejected expression, "Do you not want me around?"

What?

"Tanjiro, I fucking love you, dude.-"

Eh?!

"You're one of my best friends.-"

Oh.

"How could you even think for a second I don't want you around?" You frown, crossing your arms over your chest, "Look, the reason is because... Don't you remember that I'm clairvoyant?"

Ah-ha *lip bite emoji* you totally didn't forget about that and just suddenly remembered or anything ah-ha ha ha.

Tanjiro widen his eyes, and Sekido-who was watching close by-pinches the bridge of his nose and holds in a sigh of slight disappointment

Ah-ha ha *another lip bite emoji* they both totally didn't forget either.

"What? You mean this is something important? What exactly is it?" Tanjiro asks.

"Well... Originally, you're supposed to bond with her, and talk about lots of things. Then before she leaves, she tells you something that's crucial for tomorrow's events," You explain while crossing your arms, "I wasn't supposed to come with you here, so that's why I'm trying to keep you on track now."
