While the others went and played, Nakime watched over the two grills simultaneously. The girl occasionally shifted the meat to ensure that the food was cooked thoroughly. Around a couple minutes later when the meat were all cooked, Nakime took the cooked meat off the grill and sort them into the plates that the girls had set up.

"Guys! Food's ready." Nakime yelled before taking a pair of chopsticks and began eating. "If you don't come quick I'll finish everything."

A lighthearted threat that seemed to have worked its magic a bit too well. The girls stopped trying to find seashells and returned to where Nakime was. Everyone took a pair of chopsticks and a plastic plate before gathering around the two grills, eating and chatting away happily. It was a miraculous sight, seeing members of Demon Slayer and Twelve Kizuki getting along. And this is all because of a simple act of kindness from both sides which helped break down the barrier separating them. See people, this is why kindness is a virtue.

It was a fascinating scene. These girls that usually fought whenever they encounter each other on school grounds were discussing about school life and other random stuff. Imagine this- Daki was bitching about her teachers to Shinobu and Shinobu was offering to teach Daki how to concoct chemicals that'll blow the science lab up, Mitsuri was discussing western food recipes with Kanao and wanted to teach her how to brew tea and bake cakes, and (Y/N) was listening to Nakime playing her biwa again. Just imagine such a sight as they all ate their barbecue meat, sipped on their fruit beverages and talking about life.

"Phew! I'm stuffed! I'm gonna go back to finding seashells, you wanna join me?" Daki asked the others. Nezuko and (Y/N) agreed while the others wanted to rest with Nakime.

You may be wondering, what are the seashells the girls collected for? Well, Nezuko saw this post online where someone made a picture frame out of seashells and she suggested making one and taking a group photo together. Everyone was on board with the idea. Isn't that wholesome?

So for the next hour or so, the girls were having fun feeling the sensation of the seawater against their legs as they collected seashells. The rest had tidied up the place and Shinobu got a camera set up.

"Guys, let's take a picture near the waters so that the sunset is behind us." Shinobu said, adjusting the camera lens while the others huddled up in front of the camera.

"Alright..." Shinobu set the timer to five seconds and quickly stood next to Mitsuri. The photo was taken and kept behind a frame with seashells lined along its perimeter. The frame was then hung up in the vacation house. Don't worry, this infrastructure is exclusive to the Kocho Corps anyways. They could do whatever the hell they wanted.

After taking the photo, Daki suggested that they all shared an empty room together to foster closer bonds. The rest agreed since the tension between them had long disappeared.

Before the girls went in to wash up, Mitsuri took a couple photos using her cute little camera, printing a polaroid for everyone to keep as a souvenir of their summer trip. Quite a fine way to end the evening, ain't I right?
