Leaving Lucy to where I had seen the bluenette girl earlier on a bed, and made my way out of the infirmary, and saw my slightly younger adoptive sister, Kanao.

Flipping her coin, she looks at me with her usual smile, saying "Shall we meet up with Master?"

Nodding, we both made our way out of Domus Flau to where we were covered by blankets of darkness, with a few torches to enlighten our pathway.

We were walking in silence, but it was rather comfortable instead of awkward, unlike how I would when I walk with other Hashiras. It's really only comfortable silence if I'm with Shinobu or Kanao, but it sometimes is comforting with others, depending on the situation.

A few minutes went past, we were showered with sunlight and saw the 4 of the Hashiras talking among themselves, while the other 5 were embraced by strangers.

Laughing internally at the sight of Shinazugawa's face with so few people asking about why he doesn't have any eyebrows or Tomioka being handed many gifts by the females, it was just something they've never encountered back home.

Out of instinct, I grabbed Kanao's wrist and tried to get us to the 4 Hashira's that were talking upon themselves, which contained Obanai, Himejima, Rengoku, and Muichiro.

Except my attempt failed, as multiple boys surrounded the 2 of us, bluntly asking us questions.

Kanao just smiled, as I lift my cloak up to my face, not wanting the slightest attention.

Thankfully Shinobu saw and made her way over to us, maintaining her usual facial expression.

"Please leave my sisters alone, they clearly don't want to be bothered right now, boys."

The boys all blushed at Shinobu, apologizing to us, and ran out of our site, with Shinobu adding an "Ara ara, Sayonara!"

Sighing, my cloak fell down my face, allowing my H/C hair to be shown again to the daylight.

"Arigato, Master," Kanao said while bowing down, as I follow her actions, but not speaking.

"It's fine, but Y/N should really talk! Then she wouldn't need someone to talk for her!"

Sweatdropping at her choice of words, they were rather cruel than encouraging, that just struck an arrow into my heart. Ouch.

I just walk off to look around Fiore more, since I didn't get to see much on the night we had arrived here.

As hours went by as I look around the place, kids stopping me to hand me flowers, and boys trying to flirt with me.

As the dust was arriving, I was walking past a restaurant named 'Bar Sun', and heard a scream "HOW COULD GRAY-SAMA DO THAT TO ME?!"

Slightly giggling inside of my soul, I decided to hang out a bit more outside to hear the conversations that were held inside this wooden building.

"Listen to me, brats! We're going to change today's failures into tomorrow's victories! We're going to climb out of this, right?! The word 'Surrender' has no meaning for us! Let's aim for No. 1 in Fiore and get our girl back!" With cheers ending the speech.

I was quite integrated with their enthusiasm, but also inspired.

But I was mostly distracted by where he said to get their girl back? Did they lose a friend or something? Maybe their friend is in jail, and they need enough 'jewels' as they called the yens here? Or they've gone missing? Or-

And right at that moment, a demon had crushed into the back wall of the building, shouting "MARECHI!"

My eyes widen at the voice, cutting my thoughts of possibilities of why they would do so.
