"Behold! Twenty five hour energy!" Shenanigans...

"That can't possibly be safe to consume. Or legal."

"The nicer weather also makes for optimal training conditions; though the cold can be overcome, it is more preferable to be warm when practising, or doing any sort of activity."

"Though you may find little need for them outside of...special occasions, as I like to call them."

"I'll even make music for you!"

While no one seems to be looking, Chiikawa starts singing and dancing by themself?! "Lala...yanpanpan...loo loo loopa. Ze....Ze!!"

"Are you having fun all by yourself?"

"What does spring have to do with romance?" Sounded like something out of one of Yae Miko's light novels-

"Officially? Nothing. But it's a popular time for couples to hold their weddings because of the fair weather. I guess that's what makes it romantic. If you ask me, though...the best part about Spring is being able to read a book outside without freezing."

" Mm, you got a point there. Especially after my life was normal after a sea of insanity......guess now it has double the insanity."

"Running a business probably has its own set of problems too, I'd imagine. You do enjoy it, though, don't you?"

"Is it weird to be worrying about a paper due on the anthropology of the development of humankind in this place? Why is running a business easier than that?"

"Not at all, I find that to be refreshingly normal in what can often be a sea of insanity. At least, that's how it feels here anyway..."

"Kokomi, right? Like I said before, my name's Robert. And this? This is Beef. Hope you don't have a dog allergy, but I'll figure out something if you do."

"Honestly, it might be that neither of us was expecting a man in our home. But I suppose that's one of the downsides to public housing." Nervous laughter follows, but Kokomi still manages a friendly smile. Robert seemed nice enough, after all. "You and Beef are always welcome. I'm only sorry about how jarring this must be for you. You seem very...normal."

"Want a piece of strawberry-flavored candy? It's not poisonous."

It seemed harmless enough...despite her hesitation. "It's not...filled with anything, is it?"

"If you're worried about me killing innocent people though, you can rest assured. My blade is only reserved for those that deserve it, and even then I'd only take the life of someone who had no issue with taking the lives of others first."

"I only worry that, like so many people I've seen before, you bite off more than you can chew, so to speak." And there was the matter of one other concern, "...And the fact that killing here doesn't mean that someone will stay dead."

"Are you saying that because you have no responsibilities here? Regardless of whether or not there are demons to slay, I will remain a Demon Slayer so long as I breathe." It was her reason for living, the thing that kept her going. She would not let her relocation take that away from her.

"Or else you might find yourself swinging at people who've done nothing wrong to be slain."

"Your clothes remind me of a priestess, but hm... Perhaps not? Maybe a place like Japan, then?" Or perhaps Japan from a different era? She had learned there were a number of possibilities.

"I was a priestess. I'm not much of anything these days other than an avid reader." As much as she can be, anyway. "It's a little difficult to keep exact with your previous occupation once you've been here for a while. Whether that's good or bad is entirely up to who you're asking, though."

🪞 "Is that so? A terrible shame. It seems that no matter where I go, no one seems to be willing to fulfill this reasonable request of mine." Probably because it would be both expensive and a logistical nightmare.

"I don't know if I'd call it reasonable...I think I'd consider it impossible. Expensive, too. Where would someone even get that many mirrors to make it possible at all?"
