How? How was she possibly alive after all this time? More importantly, how could she look the same even after a century?!

Had she also achieved Divinity and had become a God? Questions which had no answers or explanations swirled in his mind like a never ending whirlpool, this however disappeared soon he caught onto another piece of information from watching the news. ​​

"So, many people say that you look similar to your great grandmother, some claim that you are her reincarnation…"

He didn't need to hear further, this piece of questioning from the reporter was enough to answer all his doubts and inquiries he had or may have, he had come to the realization that the girl was in actuality, Shinobu's great granddaughter!

It meant that in the current timeline of this world, Shinobu either didn't die like in the original demon slayer series and had actually died of old age or she did die, however she was able to leave some descendants to inherit her will. But this made another question pop up in his mind, just who exactly was this girl's, Shinobu's great granddaughter's, great grandfather, basically who did Shinobu marry?

He had a guess; Tomioka Giyū. However unlikely that guess' chance of being real was, there was simply no other person he could think of who would be able to handle Shinobu. He guessed, and he was proven right when the answer came from his great granddaughter herself. "My great grandfather Giyū said…"

Now this was both shocking and amusing. Damn, they really did end up together. In Kyle's past life many shipped them and found them to be a great matchup for each other, sadly due to Shinobu's death in the original series the audience was unable have this wish of theirs fulfilled. Who would've thought that they would really end up together, moreover it was because of Kyle himself that this long cherished wish of many Demon Slayer fans was able to come to fruition. It was simply a miracle.

If the Weebs that shipped them were able to know this, they would have been extremely happy no doubt. Kyle now interested paid extra attention to the news, his purpose? It was to see if any information related to the weapon that Shinobu had mentioned in her message would pop out or not. To his disappointment however, no such thing was brought up in the rest of the interview.

Soon the interview was over and the news shifted to another topic, Kyle stood up and left his aunt there, who was still engrossed in the TV, and was on his way to the stairs. Kobayashi San had noticed his absence and inquired him of his destination. "Where are you going Kai-chan?"

"Second floor, I'm going to use the PC room for a bit."

Getting the answer she had sought, Kobayashi San relaxed and again focused her attention to the TV while eating some snacks.

..

Entering the second floor PC room, Kyle immediately sat in front of his computer. His intention was to search for any and all information he could find about the weapon of his religion or even anything related to it, however small and insignificant it may be. Scrolling through Google, he was able to obtain some but they lead to a dead end and the information in itself was of no importance. Even the wiki had only stated said weapon to be the most important heirloom of the religion and also the weapon meant for their God along with some exaggerated info about God's descent and other religious gibberish, which had almost zero connection to the weapon itself.

There was no specification of what type of weapon it was, the only thing it stated was that a weapon existed and it was sealed as a heirloom til their God would come and retrieve it and do some religious Bulshit with it. Kyle rolled his eyes and kept on searching for another half an hour, this type though nothing interesting or noteworthy popped out… or not.. since as soon as he had that thought he had found about a thread, a group discussion about said weapon. He didn't hesitate and immediately joined said discussion group. Kyle's thought process was simple, even if he didn't get any info he had time to lose, so he may as well lose that time discussing with some interesting people rather than do nothing and keep pondering about the weapon by himself. Who knows, he just might get something useful by fluke.

[ Kai-Kun Has Joined The Group Chat! ]

[[ FlowerGirl : Oh? Someone actually joined? It's been a while since we have had a new member! Welcome! ]]

[[ ButterflySword : Welcome! I'm the admin of this group.. to think anyone would be interested in discussing the God Of Delivery Shrine's Heirloom! ]]

[[ Kai-Kun : Hello, thanks for the warm welcome… so anyway I just checked that you two are the only members of this group... didn't FlowerGirl say that 'It's been a while since someone joined? ]]

[[ FlowerGirl : About that, actually a few months ago there were dozens of active members chatting in this group however as time passed they all quit except for me and ButterflySword. ]]

[[ ButterflySword : That's right.]]

[[ Kai-Kun : Which means there are only 3 members including me in this group... isn't this a little pitiful? ]]

[[ ButterflySword : How rude! ]]

[[ FlowerGirl : It is pitiful. ]]

[[ ButterflySword : Nee-san! Why are you teaming up with this stranger?! ]]

[[ FlowerGirl : Not really, I'm just stating facts! ]]

..

..

The discussions of the two individuals deeply amused Kyle, he felt that his time would really not go to waste by joining this group as he found such interesting individuals. These guys were really funny, it was personal opinion of Kyle, he didn't however forget his original purpose in joining this group so he wrote.

[[ Kai-Kun : You guys are amusing, anyway I joined because of the original purpose of this group, the God Of Delivery's heirloom. What kind of item is the heirloom exactly? ]]

[[ ButterflySword : About that... I'm afraid I don't know... even though I work at the shrine of the God Of Delivery, the people working along with me actually don't know what is the heirloom… ]]

[[ FlowerGirl : That's right, I also work at the Shrine, the reason why we don't know what kind of item the heirloom is because it's heavily sealed with some kind of magic? I know you probably wouldn't believe this but it's true we tried to open it, though until now we couldn't succeed.. so that's why the heirloom remained unknown… the first head of the religion said that whoever can unseal it will be the God Of Delivery himself. ]]

[[ Kai-Kun : I see, I believe you guys if that's the case then it can't be helped, too bad though, I was really curious about the item inside the seal. ]]

Kyle at least had a hint of what the heirloom might be; since it was a weapon, and it was from the Demon Slayer series so it would be a Nichirin Blade… well it should be that but it could be something else entirely, he didn't know but he was about 90% sure about his guess to be true.

[[ButterflySword : Are you serious? You immediately believed us? I bet you're faking it. ]]

[[ Kai-Kun : No, no of course not. I have seen magic for myself and I myself know magic. ]]

[[ FlowerGirl : Ah! I think this person is one of those Chuunibyou.. right? ]]

[[ ButterflySword : Yeah, that's highly possible because he accepted the magic part easily! ]]

Seeing their replies, he could only smile wryly at their responses. "But I'm telling the truth…."

He replied.

Kai-Kun : Hey, just because I accepted the fact that magic exists, it doesn't mean that I'm a Chuunibyou, anyway arguing more about this topic would be pointless waste of time let's talk about another topic, shall we?

..

At a building near the God Of Delivery Shrine :-

ButterflySword or Kochō Shinobu was amusedly watching the reply that Kyle had made, she believed that this person who joined the group was simply too embarrassed to accept the fact that he was a Chuunibyou!

"This person is funny, hehe… it seems like my group chat would become more interesting if this person doesn't leave."

This girl was born other than the one Kyle had seen on the news today, the current head of the God Of Delivery Shrine, she was also named Shinobu. There was no big reason for this, since she looked like her great grandmother so her parents simply names her as such, it didn't bother her the least, she also deeply liked this name of hers, she idolized her great grandmother after all and she also liked the meaning of this name.

What she had stated earlier in the group chat was the truth, even she, the current head of the God Of Delivery religion didn't know what the heirloom was, only her great grandmother, her great grandaunt and the first followers of the religion, who were all dead, knew what was sealed inside that room.

She was just as much curious as everyone know what kind of item the heirloom was.

"Sigh~ I really want to know what kind of item the heirloom is…"

Back to Kyle :-

He kept chatting with FlowerGirl and ButterflySword till 10 PM, they were a great company, he thought. They were fun and interesting to talk with and so he decided to stay in the group chat to occasionally chat up with them.

Done talking with them, he decided to eat dinner and go to bed for sleep early tonight, he was also thinking about the genders of ButterflySword and FlowerGirl.

This was the internet, the age of scams! You can trust nobody and nothing at this age. Just based on their name nothing was clear, they could be names disguised in girl names. So he really had no way to judge their genders through their names, if they were able to come face to face offline, or maybe have a group video call together then he might be able to judge their genders, for now they were genderless entities in his head.
