“It may be… but it is an accurate one… I used to have potential as a slayer… I got too ambitious for my own good…”

“wait. . . does he just mean the hashira with that statement? normal slayers? or anyone who’s ever been one?”

The demon was currently on the ground in pain… she’s basically been starving herself, since she doesn’t like hunting humans…

The spider demon was currently resting up high in a tree, she wasn’t asleep, just trying to get some peace and quiet away from Rui…

“Just a passerby, I suppose I could ask you the same thing… these mountains are dangerous after all, demons hunt here…” Despite being a demon, there was seemingly no aggression from her, a little unease, sure, but no aggression…

“. . . then I should warn you, there’s quite a few demons, even a lower moon… ah, I almost forgot my manners, I am Kira, or at least was.” She kept a little distance from him, her eyes never leaving him.

“That was my name as a human, now I don’t know, I suppose Kira died when I became like this.” She’s not going to pretend to be human, she knows he’s not stupid. “Specifically it is lower 5 there…”

“It is relatively isolated here. . . some humans come, sometimes I convince them to leave, other times the others get to them. Besides, if I were to leave, where would I go?”

“besides, if I attempted to leave, it would be unwise. . . Lower 5 wouldn’t be happy. . .” She didn’t enjoy being tied to a lower moon, it was a deal made when she was cornered, like most of Rui’s ‘siblings’…

“Maybe one day a hashira will come along… then I’ll have to likely hide away then, since I’d be next…”

“Is. . . is someone flirting with upper 3?”

The spider demon would nod. “I’ve been doing this since being stuck here, and I’ll likely do it until I die, but I don’t just warn slayers, I have to make sure to warn normal people who are unaware”

“what did upper 3 do?”

She would nod to the demon slayer. “Well, I’ve properly warned you, I should probably be going to make sure no one else is reckless enough to try and come unprepared…”

With him leaving, Kira pulled herself back up into the trees before speaking incessantly more. “Safe travels stranger.”
