"Are you married? "

"Not anymore." Error alternating the length of one of their outfits they made for a customer. Customer who is holding still as Error get to work in the extra room. A sleepy Inosuke close by.

"I'm sorry for your lost."

"Didn't care for him."

"Isn't that a bit means to talk about your deceased husband?"

"It's only mean if I did actually care. Alright turn and move around now." Watch the customer walk. They look very happy now, besides that concern look, and walk around. "Better? No, tripping. Flows better."

"Yes, indeed. You're very fast."

Shrug and gather up any leftover material they had to take down. Glance the shoji door that was knocked and slide open to see their boss or working partner.

"Everything good?"

"Yes!" The customer happily in their new kimono.

"Excellent fits better."

"Indeed! Thank you again Lady Hashibira." Turns and ready to bow. But see Kotoha not at the spot.

Kotoha not saying anything as she back on Inosuke side. Glance back at the customer's direction. "Did you say something?"

His boss, Lady Nozomi, chuckled. She was already getting used to Kotoha attention span and lack of social interactions. Only will interact with a customer if they need something answer on the outfits. Will only answer certain questions if they are being talked about. Along with blunt.

Very, very blunt.

One customer cried their eyes out as they ran out the place. In Kotoha words

"I'm not wasting my time with some disrespectful brat. If they going to talk big, they better be prepared."

The customer did return with her parents. For payback, complaint, and a formal apology. Then the parents ran out crying next.

It was quite impressive.

Didn't affect her Lady Nozomi business. Many of her clients weren't big fans of the family. Especially the mother.

Inosuke began to wake up and babble. "Ma!"

"Nice nap little piglet." Poke their toddler cheek and earn a happy squeal.

"No!"

Error snorts in amusement at the happy expression. "Well, now we can't have that."

Such an interesting yet odd family.

"Hello Lady Nozomie."

"Ah! Mrs. Kocho what a surprise. Why are you all the way out here?"

"A small visit to see some friends. Your shop looks busy as ever."

"Well, it's that time of the year- "

Kotoha barely listens to the conversation as they care for a giggling Inosuke. Raise an eyebrow because they stop. Then I began to pout. Must be at whoever walked behind them. A soft giggle came out from behind.

"They pout just like my sister."

Turn their head towards the young voice. A girl with a gentle smile on her face. Straight black hair reaching her elbow. On the left, right side of her head were two small butterfly clips that were green and pink. A pair of violet eyes that reminded Error of bug.

"No!" Insouke yelled at her.

The girl giggles again. She kneels by Kotoha side. Look up at them with a warm smile. "A healthy baby."

"Mhmm." Poke their son's nose. Got a pout like giggle.

"Kanae you shouldn't bother the worker." The woman called out to her daughter.

Before Kanae could reply back. Kotoha waves their hand in the air. "It's fine. Done for today."

That made Kanae perked up as she began to play peek-a-boo with the baby. She giggles as the baby tries to not look interested. Then got herself a squeal like giggle. "Hehehe just like my sister. Bright happy smiles!"

Kotoha watches her interact with their son. Just happily playing with no ill intent. Would get along well with Tanjiro.

Right.

They are actually going back after they leave in a few days. Should be close to delivery when they make it back. 

"How old is he?"

"He'll be one soon."

"Yay! Big number 1!"

"No!"

"Yes!"

"No!"

"Yes!"

Yep. A lot like Tanjiro. Watch their interaction for a while. While their eyes focus on the butterfly hairclips. Simple yet pretty.

"You like my clip?"

Glance at the girl who was smiling at them. "It suits you."

"Thank you." She smiles gently at them. Then tilted her head. "How long were you hurt?"

Didn't stare back at them. As parts of their hair and scarf covered their bandages. "Far too long."

"Are you better now?"

"No, but," Glance at their child. Happy green eyes looking up at them, "I'm getting there. Better compared to before."

"Would Doctor be able to help you? My parents are doctors. I hope to be a Doctor when I'm older."

"No."

Kanae blink in confusion and a bit lost.

"I don't trust Doctors but don't stop because of me. Look like you have your head on your shoulder. Your smile would be a nice sight for anyone to see." Look back at the child.

Her eyes are wider and sparkling.

"You good?"

"You're sweet."

Held back a snort. "Sure butterfly."

During that time just watches her as she plays with Insouke or would talk about her little sister. He snorts when she tells the story of putting a spider on a child's head when they were making fun of her. A simple harmless spider but not like anyone else would have noticed.

"Your sister got a lot of backbone."

"She sure does but I love her so much!" Happy giggles.

"Good."

"Kanae time for us to leave."

Kanae smile still there but her gaze looks very sad. She looks at Kotoha. "I have to go. I had a great time talking with you."

"You too Butterfly. Take care of yourself along with you sibling."

"Bye, bye Kotoha, little Inosuke." Poke the baby nose.

"No!" Inosuke pouted as he looked away.

Kanae giggles. She got up to go see her mother. Wave goodbye to them as the family leave.

An interesting, happy girl. Feel sorry for any fool try to mess with her when she older.

"See you tomorrow, Kotoha, Inosuke." Lady Nozomie waves goodbye to the pair as she closes her shop for the day.

The young woman nods while Inosuke babbles away. The home they were staying at wasn't too far away. Soon, reach their destination point and slide the door to the room.

"Let's get you some dinner."

"Ma!"

"I think we have some."

"Ma! Ma!"

"I might give you some."

"No!"

"No? More for me."

"Ma!"

Error listens to his chattering child while they chopped vegetables. Got to admit spending their time here in this village was all right. Work kept them distracted and busy when Inosuke rested. Will need to remember to stop by again when they leave in a few days.

"Ma?"

"Hmm?"

"Coco?"

"Coco good." Open a small portal for them to see. See a happy smile as they wave at the older boar.

Maybe we should see another boar or two to go in there. Companionship. Besides just the Blasters. Along with the need to plant a few of these new seeds as well.

Look back at Inosuke petting the boar as their head sticks out the portal. A big happy squeal as they got a lick. Sees Coco look at them next. Toss them an apple that she happily ate up. A few oinks and move away from the portal. Use their strings to grab the plushies for Insouke to play with while they finish preparing his meal. Feed Inosuke. Play with them for a while and go back to bed with them. Stare up at the moon as they sit outside the door.

Things are coming along nicely.

Two weeks later.

"Prwtty lady and baby!"

"No!"

Tanjurio smiled happily as he cuddled the toddler's face. Even as he tried to bite their cheek.

"Someone misses you very much."

"No!"

Done!

Yes, it was a bit short but wanted to get this chapter finished

That's right there back to see the family!

Error indeed made many rude customers cry. Not guilty.

We also got to see a surprise guest Kanae! Such a happy girl ^^. Her sister would have done a trick like that with spiders. I can see it happening.

Any questions?

Until next time.

Bye, bye!
