Chapter 25: Kocho sisters
"Hello, can I help you?"
The sudden voice from behind completely startled Levi, as his attention was focused on the girl Yuki was carrying and didn't bother to activate [Observation Haki].
"Who?!" He then turned around and asked the person in wary, even though he didn't activate [Observation Haki] but for someone to approach them without the slightest sound and make them not notice it was clearly not an ordinary person.
"Hello, there. Nice to meet you. My name is Kanae Kocho, what's your name." The person who spoke to them was a girl, she had long, straight, black hair that reached just below her waist, worn down with two shorter clumps over her shoulders, and arched, ear-length bangs on either side of her face. Her eyes were a pale violet and slanted towards the sides of her face, bright and bug-like, with many notable white sparkles reflecting light off of them.
Behind her was was petite girl with a pale complexion and large, compound-like eyes that lack pupils, only a haze of gradient purple, making her eyes appear similar to those of insects. She has black wavy hair that fades to dark purple, styled at the back of her head into a flat yakai-maki bun, fastened with a white, turquoise and light purple butterfly ornament.
"Levi." Levi simply said still wary at the two girls that appear from nowhere, he pushed the guard off his katana with his thumb so that he could quickly pull it from it's scabbard.
"Yuki." Yuki said while she put the girl she saved from that man behind her.
"Now, now, don't need to wary like that, I saw what you guys were doing on the bridge, and I asked if I could help you guys with something? especially about that girl" Kanae said in worry while pointing toward the girl behind Yuki.
"But Nee-san, it's to dangerous because we don't know nothing about them!" Before Levi could say anything, the petite girl behind Kanae said to her sister seriously.
"Ehhh! Shinobu why? I originally want to save them when I saw how that guy carrying the girl…but Levi-san and Yuki-chan got ahead of me." She said with a pout while glancing at Levi.
"But Nee-san!, You're a Hashira and we come to here was to eliminate the demons that hunt in this town! We don't have time to take care of three kids when demons lurk around us!" The girl known as Shinobu reminding her sister about the task that has been given to them.
While these two sister arguing with each other, Levi and Yuki just watched silently still focusing their eyes on the two sisters. But the unexpected thing happened, the girl Yuki saved suddenly fell down which made the four people around him startled and start rushed towards her.

"Hey, Levi why we are here?" Yuki whispered to Levi.
"Don't ask me." Levi replied.
After they approached the girl, Kanae immediately took her to a mansion not far from the city, the so-called Butterfly Mansion.
Shinobu then took the girl to a room to take care of her with a girl named Aoi Kanzaki, meanwhile Levi and Yuki who followed them to find out the girl's condition were sitting in a room with Kanae.
After talking small talk for about 1 hour, Levi and Yuki could start to understand about Kanae's nature, she is an easygoing person and always has a warm smile on her face even though they are still a little wary of her, Kanae still don't mind it.
"So where do you guys live?" Kanae said with a warm smile.
"Well... our house is 'quite far' from here, because we are on an adventure but we try to go home at least once a month to meet our mom" Levi said, even though it's only been two days since they left their original world, they are starting to miss their mother. Levi then changed the topic of the conversation and said to Kanae "Your sister said something about 'Hashira' earlier can I know what is it?"
Actually he didn't expect Kanae to answer him, because all he wanted was to keep them away from the topic of their home. "Of course, it's not a secret or anything so I'll explain. We are the strongest army of a Demon Slayer corp whose job it is to exterminate demons from this world."
Levi then nodding in understanding toward her explanation 'So to sum it up, Demon Slayer is an organization that hunts demons, and Hashira is the most powerful among the ranks' Levi thought in his mind.
"Can we join it" Yuki suddenly asked to Kanae exitedly, she was curious about the war between the two powerhouses in this world, between Demon Slayer Vs The Demons. She want to wacth it closely, and what's better than joining one of the side party?
Before Kanae can answer her, there's a voice calling out to her. "Nee-san! Nee-san! "
Shinobu arrived from the door behind Yuki and Levi while carrying the girl that Yuki saved. Her previous messy appearance was replaced by a neat look with her hair tied to the side with a pink butterfly hairpin, and she's also wearing a proper outfit of a pink kimono
"Nee-san, This child is completely hopeless!" She complained to her sister while lifting her arms at the same level as her shoulders.
"Now, now, don't be like that okay?" Kanae said warmly while putting her palms together and placing them on her cheeks, she then continued "I'm just love the smile of yours, Shinobu."
Hearing that, Shinobu became irritated until an crossmark formed on her forehead. "But we can't do anything to the kid who can't even think for herself! It's to dangerous!"
Kanae just smiled and stood up from her sitting position and walked towards the girl, she sat in front of the her, she then gave her a coin while saying. "In that case, if you're on your own, you can decide by flipping this coin. Right Kanao?" She then put the coin on the girl...now named Kanao's hand, Kanao was watching all of this in silent while she looked the coin she hold.
(A/N : Ngl it's hard chapter, cause I only have minim information about this when wacthing Kanao flashback and wiki.)
