Even before opening the letter, Chika could roughly guess who sent it. This deduction was not only due to Chika's clever mind, but also because the letter had a trace of cherry blossom mochi residue on it.
In this awkward situation, Chika opened the letter and discovered that although it was written by Mitsuri, the content was not just about her.
At the very beginning of the envelope, Mitsuri's words delivered a heart-shaped critical hit to Chinatsu.
[Chinatsu! Mr. Iguro confessed to me!!!]
Chika involuntarily took a half step back, tilted her head back, and her lips involuntarily twitched upwards.
With the stock market crash of Snake Love at this moment, the previous progress of the romances between Shinobu Kocho and Giyu Tomioka, and Kanao and Tanjiro, was instantly brought to a standstill.
When everyone was leaving the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, Obanai Iguro left with Mitsuri, but at that time they were still in a state of mutual affection without making it public.
Unlike most members of the Demon Slayer Corps, Mitsuri has a wonderful family; she has both parents and even four younger siblings.
After bidding farewell to the Demon Slayer Corps, Mitsuri happily took Obanai to her home. During her time as a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, although she didn't quite pass by her home three times without entering like Yu the Great taming the floods, she certainly rarely went home.
Lack of time is one reason, but the main reason is the unique nature of the Demon Slayer Corps' work.
On the way back, Mitsuri's smile never faded, and she even hopped and skipped along the way, like a rabbit or a cat.
In contrast, Obanai Iguro, who was following behind her, had one hand over her chest and was taking deep breaths with her head down.
Although he was very nervous about going to Mitsuri's house, Obanai didn't want to miss this opportunity no matter how nervous he was.
The Demon Slayer Corps headquarters was where they met and established connections, and leaving this place meant that Obanai had lost his greatest weapon.
Once distance is created, maintaining the emotional connection becomes extremely difficult, let alone allowing the relationship to continue to grow stronger.
Obanai doesn't consider herself a good communicator, and Mitsuri is the kind of person who's naturally a bit ditzy. If she lets go like this, she might never be able to hold on to her future again...
Therefore, we must never let go.
"Mr. Iguro, what's wrong?"
"No, it's nothing."
A flash of realization crossed Obanai's eyes, but Mitsuri didn't notice it. They were currently halfway up a mountain. Mitsuri gazed into the distance and then pointed a finger at a certain corner in the distance.
"Mr. Iguro! My home is right there!"
Hearing Mitsuri's words, Obanai also turned her gaze to the direction Mitsuri was pointing.
Mitsuri's house was already within sight, and for the two elite Demon Slayer Corps members, this distance was fleeting, and they soon arrived at their destination.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
With each knock from Mitsuri, Obanai Iguro, standing behind her, felt as if her heart was being struck directly.
The small white snake wrapped around his shoulder sensed this change in Obanai, and it couldn't help but stick out its tongue and lick Obanai's cheek.
As the wait dragged on endlessly, the sound of footsteps approached from inside the house.
Click~
The door opened from the inside, and Mitsuri's mother appeared in their sight. Before her mother could react, an overjoyed Mitsuri rushed into her mother's arms.
"Mother!!!"
"Mitsuri?!!"
Mitsuri's mother looked at Mitsuri in her arms, paused for a moment, and then smiled excitedly.
Their commotion drew the attention of everyone inside the house, and Miri's father and younger siblings hurriedly ran out.
"What? Mitsuri is back!"
"What? My sister's back!"
The entrance to Mitsuri's house was filled with a warm and harmonious atmosphere. However, even though Mitsuri had returned, they were not completely immersed in this warm atmosphere and ignored Obanai Iguro, whom Mitsuri had brought back.
Mitsuri's father reached out and adjusted his glasses, his eyes glancing briefly at Obanai.
According to the prevailing thinking of this era, Little Banai, who wrapped her lower face in bandages, would undoubtedly be penalized by her parents.
However, Mitsuri's family is not the typical one. Her parents were only surprised by their daughter's characteristics from a young age, such as [immense strength], [hair color change], and [super gluttony], but they did not feel the slightest bit of aversion.
Even when Mitsuri asked her parents about her worry that she might not be able to get married, her mother remained calm, and her father even said that it would be fine if Mitsuri just stayed at home.
Such a family is nothing short of a miracle in this day and age.
After scanning Obanai's face in a flash, Mitsuri's father smiled and said to her, "Are you perhaps Mitsuri's boyfriend?"
Upon hearing this, Mitsuri's mother, standing beside him, covered her mouth with her hand, revealing a look of joyful surprise, while Mitsuri's face instantly turned bright red, and a large amount of steam rose from her head.
"Father...Father! What...what are you saying...Mr. Iguro was just...just me..."
As Miri spoke, she waved her hands, but she was so excited that she didn't even know why she was waving her hands.
She didn't finish her sentence because Obanai Iguro interrupted her.
"I am not Ganlu Temple's boyfriend."
After Obanai said those words, which were exactly the answer Mitsuri had hoped for, she felt a sense of emptiness welling up inside her.
However, Obanai didn't actually finish her sentence.
Obanai took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with considerable resolve. He turned to face Mitsuri, who happened to be looking at him as well.
When their eyes met, Obanai opened her mouth.
"Ganlu Temple, I like you."
The power of language is immense, and the words that Obanai uttered at that moment changed the lives of two people, turning their beautiful fantasy into reality.
Mitsuri's lips moved incessantly, and large tears streamed down her face. At first, she even doubted whether she had misheard, but when she saw the gentle gaze directed at her by Obanai, her heart was constantly touched.
"Can...I really be your bride...?"
"Of course, as long as you don't mind that it's me, I will absolutely guarantee your happiness, absolutely!"
