⚡ Demon Slayers, huh? Maybe he intended to avoid talking about these things a little too hard. Just ignoring what has happened the last days seems extremely selfish to him now, as he realizes that not just Katarina’s garden suffered from it. How did she feel? After all, he originally went to visit her after he’s already gone once before. He’s a fool beyond comparison.
“No. The sole purpose of the Demon Slayers was to defeat Muzan and his demons. But we finally succeeded in that… so I guess, field work sounds not so far off anymore, huh? But that’s not what prompted this. I’ve spent much time with flowers and garden work before, which is why I think I can help you here.”
Katarina’s garden.
Field work.
Preparing food every morning for each other.
A thought occurs to him suddenly and he sits up a little abruptly.
“OH! I just have an idea! What if we two run a gardening shop here, in this place? I was still trying to figure out where I could start working and maybe we two could do just our own thing? We both can do food for each other every morning before we start working. We’d sell flowers, bushes and crops! We’ll have an even bigger garden—!”
— on hindsight, maybe he’s getting a little bit ahead of himself here. How to accomplish that without any money? And he’s not exactly what you’d call a workaholic. But he just couldn’t keep his mouth shut.
He seemed hesitant on speaking about what happened during his absence. I wanted to know because I worried about him but I couldn’t push on the topic since it might be a bit too painful to recall. His optimism in something more mundane pulled me, I’m surprise how someone adept with a sword can go into raising a field like nothing. I suppose that’s the life of a protagonist for you.
That was when he suggested something out of the ordinary, which I found incredibly great. I can’t hide how excited at felt, since that option was better than anything else. Was I actually preparing myself for this life, instead of the possibility of being exiled?! Is this what you would call destiny?!
“That’s a wonderful idea! How should we call it?! Ah, I know a bit of flower arrangements!! Can we sell sweets too!?” The sweets would be for the customers! This is in no way my evil plan to get a taste of many kinds of desserts! Not at all! “I still have seedlings at home and my tools are fine, instead of fixing this garden just for myself... it can be for everyone else. It’s fine if we start small. We can ask help as it grows. If it’s with you at my side, we can definitively do it.”
“Zenitsu, you can rely on me. I know I’m not the most reliable out there but I can help you.” I wouldn’t rely on myself if I had a choice but I want to try for him. I reached for his hand, intertwining his fingers with mine. “You fought a lot, it’s okay to rest now. I can help you build a future, even if it’s scary. We can brave it together. I’ll hold your hand close and we’ll head straight to the unknown together.”
