Sew~ Sew! ^-^

"Home", a foreign concept for someone who hasn't experienced warmth.

Tragic isn't it? Orphans. Abandoned. Unloved. Hated. Neglected.

Walking under the moonlight, Kiyomi thought about her previous life.

"Well, not that it matters for me anymore." She smiled gently.

I already have a home. There are people that unconditionally love me. Even though I wasn't their biological child.

Thinking of the Kamados, her heart warmed.

Her heartfelt smile radiated an aura of happiness to everything around her, making everything seem more spirited.

Continuing her journey back home, Kiyomi checked her status. Checking her status wasn't something she'd usually do.

Systems are a blessing, yes. But it makes you conceited. It makes you feel as if you're invincible.

'Whenever I think of those conceited and obviously retarded people with systems acting what they act like... ugh...' Kiyomi shivered at the thought.

Reading the novels in her last life, she felt shameful of being one of the reincarnated and transmigrated army.

She especially disliked most of the Chinese protagonists.

"Shameless is the only word to describe most of them. Obviously, I'm only talking about the male main characters. Beautiful females never get discriminated against in modern society."

Taking another sigh, she opened her status to check her progress.

========================================================

"Oh~! I grew an inch!" Kiyomi had stars in her eyes.

What she noticed was not the increase in her skills, but her height.

It's quite understandable, being short does have its disadvantages.

"...Hey, wait a minute, when did I have a slayer mark??"

Finding a new talent under her talent section, Kiyomi wanted to confirm if she really had a slayer mark.

Taking out a small mirror that she kept in her box for obvious reasons, Kiyomi took a look at herself.

*Tic-tac*

".... It's on my fricking neck."

Taking a deep breath, she tried to look at the positive side of things.

'At least it doesn't look bad. I've always wanted to get a tattoo like this! Very beautiful.'

*Chirp!*

The sound of birds chirping signified the upcoming arrival of the sunrise.

Kiyomi started to run even faster once she heard the birds, she would only have around three hours before the first sunlight touches the ground.

Quickly running on the road, she thought of a plan.

If she can reach Kumotori mountain by sunrise, she'll hide in the house.

If she can't?

'Obviously gonna find a cave to live in for half a day! Haha..ha.. ugh~!'

A short while later, deciding that she won't make it in time, she quickly used the last hour before sunrise to find a cave.

Rushing into the forestry next to the road, she moved quickly as she soon found a big brown bear sniffing the air.

What she noticed was not the bear, but the cave behind the bear.

"Hi! I'm going to borrow your cave for half a day Mr. bear~! Thanks!"

The brown bear, who noticed an intruder, became mad.

*ROAR!!*

Covering her ears to block out the noise, Kiyomi didn't care about the bear and ran into the cave, while sticking out her tongue and making a face at the bear.

"Go away! I'm only gonna stay here for a few hours okay?!"

Chasing after Kiyomi, the bear found her cubs safe and sound, with another weird fluffy ball in the middle of the cubs.

The bear looked at the cubs confused as if saying "When did I have another cub? And this one has weird colors too?!"

With a confused roar, the bear mother trotted out of the cave to find food.

Popping her head out from the bear cub group, Kiyomi smiled gleefully at the disappearing back of the mother bear.

She patted the heads of each one of the bear cub and moved even farther into the cave.

Sitting down in the corner, she sighed at the time lost by not being able to walk in the sun.

So... she decided to do something productive!

Sitting there doing nothing wasn't Kiyomi's style, so she redeemed the magic sewing set that sat in the system space for years.

That's right! She still hasn't used the magic sewing set that she got five years ago.

"I mean like, what can a weird magic sewing set possible do? Make some clothes that can move by themselves?"

[Yeah?]

"...Who's talking?!" Startled, Kiyomi looked around in the small cave she was in.

[In your hands, fool.]

Looking down at her hands, she found a black and purple box plated with bits of gold, exquisite patterns were engraved all over it.

"A box?" said Kiyomi, taking the lid off.

The insides of the box were nothing but exquisite, four eyes plastered each side of the box.

The box seemed to have made a scary face.

"..." Not daunted by the weird box, Kiyomi punched it.

[Ow! What was that for?!]

"For calling me a fool?" said Kiyomi, acting as if she has just done nothing wrong.

[...Fair enough...]

The box quite literally deflated.

"So what can you do anyway?" Kiyomi asked the box, who was sulking.

Regaining its energy, the box enthusiastically introduced itself.

[I'm the -]

"Stop! Save it! I don't want to hear it! Keep it simple."

[But you don't -]

"No, I do. You wanted to say how great you are, you narcissistic box. Know your place."

Kiyomi made a face just like Tanjiro did to Zenitsu when he first met the cowardly boy.

Feeling as if its heart was broken, the box decided to introduce itself dully. At least in his opinion, it was dull.

[I'm the Magic Sewing Kit, well.. the box. I'm technically made of nanomaterials so I can change shape. And the sewing kit inside me can help you create things like clothes that can move by themselves, things like paper umbrellas. And also, each one can have at least a specific skill if you make the objects themselves beautiful enough.]

To Kiyomi, it was full of useful information that can maybe help her with her predicament, the sun.

"Beautiful? ...Not skillfully? And give me an example of the specific skill, say... an umbrella can have?"

[Yeah, the magic sewing kit is called 'magic' after all, so if you make it beautiful enough, it will be converted as if it were made skillfully. It keeps the beauty of the objects while making the tools useful. And... an umbrella? Let's see... does full protection of your skin from the sunlight count as one? Though you'd have to -]

"Wait what."

Kiyomi suddenly looked at the box with more enthusiasm than ever.

[Wut?]

"Repeat what you just said! Sunlight? Umbrella?"

[An umbrella can fully protect your skin... from the sunlight?]

The box sounded unsure.

Squealing with delight, the girl had a light in her eyes as she looked at the box with a renewed interest.

"Continue, I'm listening."
