34: Rengoku vs. Kanroji

Kyōjurō stood outside in the courtyard, pacing back and forth as he waited for his (Name)-chan, who was still in a private meeting with Ubuyashiki-sama.

'What could Oyakata-sama possibly want with his beloved...and why must it be private?' He inwardly thought to himself.

"Y'know, you're going to create a hole in the ground if you keep pacing back and forth like that." Said Uzui, who'd been watching Kyōjurō's restless movements.

The flame Hashira stopped his relentless pacing. "Sorry, but I just can't help it." He sighs, "I guess I'm a bit worried."

"I'm pretty sure there's nothing to be to be worried about, Kyōjurō-senpai." Mitsuri reassures.

The Flame Pillar couldn't help but release another deep sigh, before sitting down onto the engawa.

"I know... It's just.."

"Damn, you really got it bad for (Name)-chan, don't cha?" Uzui chuckles, sitting next to his friend.

"Heh, you have no idea." Kyōjurō smiles lightly. As he stares off into space, his heart flutters at the thought of his beloved smile. He longs to be by her side through thick and thin.

"So, how exactly did you two meet?" Uzui asked. "You never actually told us."

True, Kyōjurō never actually told everyone how he and (Name) met, aside from surprising everyone when he told them that he was struck by love. However, as time went on, more of his friends began to question the mysterious circumstances surrounding their relationship, leading to speculation and gossip among the group. Despite the rumors circulating, Kyōjurō remained tight-lipped about the details, only offering a small smile whenever the topic was brought up, further fueling the curiosity of those around him.

"I'd met her on the side of the mountain near her village. After I finished my mission of slaying a demon, I overheard some of the villagers speak of the Yuki-onna. I wanted to see if she was real and went to the mountain road. When I turned to head back to the village, that's when I saw (Name); she had been following me." Kyōjurō explained.

As he recounted the chance encounter with (Name), Kyōjurō couldn't help but feel a sense of awe at the mysterious circumstances that brought them together. He briefly recalled the way her eyes sparkled with curiosity whenever she glanced at him.

"And I chased after her, yelling at her to marry me, haha." He laughs softly.

"So, basically, you became a simp and chased after her until she eventually said yes." Sanemi remarked.

Kyōjurō chuckled, "Hahaha, I guess you could put it that way." He admitted with a slight blush.

"Ugh, you're hopeless."

"Aw, com'on Shinazugawa-kun, I think it's actually quite romantic." Mitsuri said.

"Yeah. Sometimes, being a little bit of a simp can go a long way in building a connection with someone you are interested in. It shows that you are willing to go the extra mile to make them happy, which can be quite endearing." Uzui said. "Perhaps you should give it a try and get yourself a woman."

His remark irked the grumpy white-haired male as he glared at the tall, flamboyant male while a little '💢' mark comically appeared on his forehead.
