“I. No. Su. Ke. … Inosu. Ke.”

“Yes! You did it! You said it!” With a cry of delight, Inosuke somersaulted into the air. At long last, he’d succeeded in getting Nezuko to speak his name.

When he’d been brought to Butterfly Mansion the previous afternoon to have his injuries treated, he’d learned that Nezuko was learning to talk again, and he’d been excited to teach her a few words. “Boss” still came out more like “boff,” but now she could manage “Inosuke.”

The short-tempered Demon Slayer had shown surprising patience in this endeavor, making his joy at success all that much greater. He was so excited his feet didn’t touch the ground.

After a number of somersaults, Inosuke made her say his name again, determined to make the newly vocal girl into a proper minion.

“Inosuke?”

“Yeah!”

“Inosuke!”

“That’s it! Keep saying it! It’s the name of your boss, after all!” Inosuke’s proud voice echoed through the courtyard of Butterfly Mansion. “You did real good, so here’s your reward. One shiny acorn.”

He handed her the smooth nut. Nezuko held it up to the sun. Fangs still gleamed in her mouth, and her eyes still glowed red; she remained a demon. Even so, Tanjiro had been thrilled that his little sister could once more stand in the sunlight.

Remembering Tanjiro’s smile, Inosuke looked at Nezuko, standing before him in the middle of the day, and felt a funny, warm, fluffy feeling inside. It was a feeling he often got around those two. Usually he pushed back against it, not wanting to let mushy feelings make him stupid, but this time he felt like he could let it happen. After all, an underling’s happiness was a boss’s happiness too.

Snorting with satisfaction, Inosuke envisioned lording over his growing army of minions. His fantasies were interrupted by a girl’s scream and the sound of something thudding to the ground in the laundry area in the corner of the courtyard. The voice belonged to Kiyo Terauchi, one of the three nurses at the mansion.

“What’s going on?” Inosuke whipped out his sword and charged, Nezuko hurrying behind him. “Enemy attack?”

It turned out to be only the laundry pole falling. Freshly laundered sheets and nightclothes spilled across the ground, covered in dirt. Kiyo sat before the mess, weeping into her hands. Aoi Kanzaki and Kanao Tsuyuri tried to comfort her.

“Who did this?” Inosuke demanded, still out for blood. His skin pimpled into gooseflesh. “A demon?”

“A crow,” Aoi replied.

Beneath his boar head, Inosuke scowled. “A Kasugai Crow?”

“Of course not,” Aoi snapped. “Why would a Kasugai Crow do something like this? It was an ordinary crow.”

“An ordinary crow...until it tried to devour your face!”

“Enough of your violent notions!” Aoi rolled her eyes. “It was raining for days, you see, and the laundry was piling up...”

Excited to wake up to a clear morning at last, the girls had set to work cleaning the mountain of dirty bedding and nightclothes. They’d finally finished the washing and were hanging the clean laundry out to dry when a crow swooped down out of nowhere and snatched Kiyo’s hairpin.
