Reincarnation is Such a Nice Thing

Chapter 28

"Nee, Shin-chan, what kind of person is Tamayo-san?" Kanae asked me excitedly. Sabito seemed to be also interested.

"Hmm... if I had to say it simply, she is beautiful and a kind demon." I told them both and felt a shivering feeling coming from Kanae.

I feel like I'm in danger if I keep talking about this... I should say something else asap.

"There's also her assistant. Yushiro was his name if I remember correctly." I quickly added and the shivering feeling faded away slowly.

"...And what kind of person is Yushiro-san?" Kanae asked another question and I tried my best to hold back a sigh.

"He is... cautious, overprotective, and cares about Tamayo-san very much." I nodded at my own perfect explanation.

"Is there anything else we should know about?" Sabito asked me.

Hmm... is there anything else I forgot...? Simply explained about Tamayo and Yushiro, what else did I miss...

"I think that's all..." I muttered while still thinking if I forgot anything else.

No... I don't think I forgot anything else... or I hope at least.

"Have you two visited Asakusa before?" I asked and tried to continue our conversation.

"A few times." Kanae answered first and then I looked at Sabito.

"Same." he said simply and I nodded.

...

An awkward silence filled us while I kept glancing at the elders by my sides. I could feel the boredom fill my mind and I almost let out a yawn.

"It's quiet and peaceful." I said out of nowhere and got nods from the two.

"Because it's afternoon. Demons only come out during nighttime." Sabito stated and looked around himself to see a few houses here and there.

And we are done with our conversation again. Excellent... What else is there to speak about? Ah, I know!

"Have you seen Giyu or visited your family lately, Sabito?" I couldn't help but grin at my perfect attempt of starting a new conversation.

"Why?" Sabito asked me back and I shrugged with my shoulders.

"Just asking, since I know how busy we are as Hashiras." I replied and Sabito smiled softly at my response.

"I have visited them but since Giyu and Makomo are busy with their missions, I haven't seen them lately." Sabito said but the last one sounded sad. I felt bad for Sabito and pat his back a few times to get his attention.

"You will meet them one day. You also have me and others with you." I gestured Kanae next to me and she nodded. Sabito's mood seemed to brighten as he smiled and ruffled my hair.

"Thank you, Shin. I'm glad to have you and others in my life." he told us bluntly. I couldn't help but be a little bit embarrassed and took his hand off my head.

I tried to think about what to say back but all I could do was glance away from Sabito with a small smile.

Dang it, I don't know why but I'm very happy.

I felt a small shiver running through my body and I slowly glanced at Kanae. Her smile didn't show happiness at all.

I quickly planned to hide behind Sabito but a scream got all our attention. Without saying anything, the three of us ran towards the source which was in the forest.

Seeing as we were really deep in the forest, we split our ways with Sabito going to my left and Kanae to my right. The scream kept echoing in the forest and I could see that the trees blocked sunlight, making the forest a little bit dark.
