Sorry for the wait, readers, but I don't normally post on weekends :)

Third Person POV:

The next morning, Kanao woke up in her bed. The events of the day before had left her so disoriented, but happy, and she had fallen asleep with a soft smile on her face.

Little did she know that after she fell asleep, Tanjiro had kissed her cheek good night.

Stretching, she stood up from the bed, and combed her hair. Somehow, the human world was actually starting to grow on her...

Kanao chose a simple dress from the large wardrobe in her bedroom. It was pale pink and cream colored. She also pulled her hair back into her regular side ponytail.

As she got out of her bedroom, she headed down the stairs. She felt very refreshed since she had slept very early the night before.

When Kanao got to the dining hall, something was different. As she got into the dining hall, the aura seemed a bit...different.

A bit...tense.

When she made it to the dining hall, she immediately understood why.

Tanjiro, was still smiling. But, his aura had changed into something threatening, and his smile seemed a little forced.

Across the table, there sat his siblings, who obviously noticed the change in their older brother's behavior. They sat across from him, sweatdropping.

The one that was the most restless in her seat was Nezuko. She was basically freaking out.

Sitting next to her was a very familiar blonde...

Kanao's mouth almost dropped open in shock.

Zenitsu?!

The blonde looked up, and he looked equally as shocked to see his best friend staring back at him.

Kanao took a seat next to Tanjiro. Uncertainly, she looked at Tanjiro, who was still smiling threateningly.

Kanao remembered that mermaids and mermen learned telepathy in school.

Concentrating really hard and looking discreetly at Zenitsu, she thought, Hey...Zenitsu, can you hear me?

Said blonde looked up from his plate of rice balls. Yes, I can hear you, Kanao...

——telepathic communication——

🐚: How'd you get up here?

⚡️: Queen Kanae helped me out...how did you even get into the human palace?

🐚: I'm actually not so sure...I just woke up in one of the rooms. Why did you even come up to the surface?

⚡️: Queen Kanae asked for my help. Apparently, you're not the only victim of the red pearl.
