GREETED BY THE SUN'S RADIANCE, Y/N ASCERTAINED THAT MIKEY was gone the moment that she opened her eyes and he's not resting beside her anymore. Thus, the man seemed to be thoughtful enough to actually cover her in warm sheets and help her fix her sleeping posture since the last time she checked, she doesn't really have an appropriate sleeping figure last night.

"I was about to check up and wake you up but now you're finally awake. I also here to inform you that we have an important visitor and I think you should meet him since he has some things to say. Breakfast is ready as well so feel free to go downstairs, mistress. Good morning." Kaku whose head's peeking behind the oak wood door said with a smile whilst y/n only reciprocated a thinned lip and a nod before getting up to set herself fix.

What this day has for her is still unknown but the words of Mikey last night might be a hint to whatever hardship she will go through this time. Training her body and courage before going back to hell is one factor that will surely help her have Kisaki's head resting on the palm of her hands. Upon bringing that aim forth, she would have nothing to wish for afterwards.

"Time flies so fast." She whispered, taking a quick bath, fit off whatever clothes the room's full closet has before going downstair's prior to what Kakucho instructed of her. And much to her surprise, an unknown man whose hair's tied up to a messy bun welcomed her on the dining. Garb in a thick fabric of his black jacket, he seemed unable to cognize her presence yet since he's still taking a spoon by his mouth even when y/n was already nearing herself towards him. What caught her notice more is the tiger tattoo that's peeking on the layer of his jacket, seemingly like a symbol.

Whoever he is still unknown for her but she nonetheless ambled forward and let the hombre notice her presence from the rear. What befuddled her furthermore is there's no one inside the dining beside her and him, where did even her fellow went and why is the whole foyers clean?

"What are you doing here?" Y/n queried, taking the seat a few inches away from the man who stiffened in place upon darting her with his golden iris. And she's going to lie if she said she wasn't taken aback from how keen he stared at at first but then softened when he saw that it's her. He's still busy eating and the way his hands halt midway as he met her gazes made y/n raised an eyebrow upon seeing that unusual reaction. He doesn't even know how to conceal his emotions, he's too blunt for someone who looks tough.

"Who are you?" is what a normal person would ask if someone crytic entered their houses; thus, without their permission. But y/n must be kind of straight to the point to ask; "What are you doing here?" instead of questioning him using the latter. Be direct, they said.

"You must be...l/n y/n," Swallowing the food in his mouth, he dropped the utensil he was holding before stretching his palm forward, cocking his head to the side afterwards whilst showing her a sly smile, "I'm Hanemiya Kazutora."

"Nice to meet you. So what are you doing here?" Y/n asked once again, ignoring his hand before stretching her arms to the bowls placed above the oak wood table. Grabbing over some rice and viand, she nonchalantly started eating even though the hombre's quite startled by the way she evaded him. Well, isn't he a stranger? Although in y/n's head, eating while conversing is a one way ticket for a better form of relationship.

Excluding the matter, she can't really eyed any of Bonten's executive anywhere, not even Miya, Belle, that Benkei and Wakasa person nor Hanma. All of them are absent in the premises but it surprisingly didn't made her anxious. They must be just outside.

"They're chilling and swimming outside." Speaking of the devil, Kazutora informed of her upon noticing that she's eyeing the hallway from side to side as if looking out for her colleagues. Strangely, he finds her enigmatic - diverse from the description that Kakucho illustrate towards him like y/n is a beauty and a nice person to converse with.
