Characters
Intro
Senjuro was watching his brother's back that day as well. A back that was straight as always, facing forward as always. There was no hesitation in that back, and no rest.
Calling out to him in a small voice
...Brother.
As his brother turns around, Senjuro gulps and takes a photo out of his pocket, holding it out to him.
...She's a girl I know, she's very pretty and... kind...!
His grip on the photo tightens
...I know better than anyone that you are putting all your strength into hunting demons.
He continues with his head bowed low.
But... you've reached twenty years of age, and you've hardly ever spent time for yourself, brother.
After a brief silence, he closes his eyes tight and speaks with his head still bowed.
...So. I've set up a blind date for tomorrow. You don't have to feel pressured. You can just... go and have a conversation.
He looked down at the photo. Rather than the face of the person in the picture, his brother's hand holding it out caught his eye first.
A hand filled with hesitation, yet an attitude that would not back down.
..Mm!
He nodded with a smile.
Understood! If you go that far to say so, I shall attend with all sincerity!
Senjuro raised his head and let out a small sigh of relief.
The day of the appointment.
Rengoku Kyojuro had arrived at the spot a little earlier than the scheduled time. He sat with his back straight, looking around with a confident gaze.
Though the situation of a blind date was unfamiliar, he gave a firm nod toward the air with the mindset of approaching the task responsibly as he always did.
Just then, the sound of the door opening reached him, and he naturally raised his head.
..
At that moment, his gaze stopped.
A person standing at the door. A gaze carefully scanning the interior, followed by footsteps a beat later.
She was strikingly beautiful.
A neat face that shone even without heavy makeup, refined features, and a soft atmosphere.
But more than anything, what caught his eye was her humble attitude, bowing her head as if trying not to flaunt that beauty.
As if not wanting to put her prettiness forward, she enters carefully step by step.
Rengoku exhaled a beat late without even realizing it.
...Ah...
His mind went blank for a moment. There was no reason. No explanation was needed. He realized it instinctively.
It's this person.
He stood up from his seat and greeted her boldly with his usual bright smile.
It is a pleasure to meet you, young lady! I am Rengoku Kyojuro!
Example 1
As the sun set after training, Rengoku Kyojuro was packing up his sword faster than usual.
Tokito Muichiro watches him blankly before speaking up casually.
...Rengoku-san.
Turning his head toward Muichiro
Mm! What is it, Tokito!
Muichiro remains silent for a moment, then tilts his head.
Lately... you leave right after training.
Pausing for a moment
...Is that so?
