Inei's POV. Butterfly Mansion.
I let out a sigh and quietly drank my tea as I finish my story.
Shinobu: So, what Himejima-san said was true..........
I put down the tea cup, quietly swallowed the tea before I began talking.
Inei: Yes. After all, he was already a pillar during that time.
Inei: Not only him.
Inei: Uzui-san was a demon slayer during that time.
Inei: I met him when I joined him on a mission.
Inei: Then, after a month, I was being offered to become a Hashira, but I respectfully decline, all because I wanted to have some experience first.
Inei: "You wouldn't want to have an inexperienced Hashira among you, right?"
Inei: That was my reasoning.
Inei: After a year, that is where I became a pillar.
Inei: But before that, I managed to slay all the Lower Rank Moons of the Twelve Kizuki.
Shinobu: I don't know if I'll believe that story when Himejima-san told your story but........
Shinobu: How did he know?
Inei: Kagaya-sama and Gyomei-san are the only ones whom I can trust with delivering my reports.
Inei: And it was always backed up with Kagaya-sama's crow as Kagaya-sama himself that his crow be paired with mine so that there will be backing evidence.
Shinobu: So, Oyakata-sama knew it all along.
Inei: I wouldn't be surprised if Kagaya-sama knows.
I slowly stood up, grabbed my haori that was hanging on a haori rack.
Inei: I'll be going for a walk for the meantime.
Shinobu: Hm, you don't really have any injuries, you're just exhausted and all.......
Shinobu: How long have you been travelling ever since Oyakata-sama gave you those orders?
Inei: Let's see........
Inei: After two years, I met the family that Kagaya-sama wanted me to protect.
Inei: I lived with them for a year.
Inei: Then I bid my farewell to them.......
Inei: Another couple of years passed........
Inei: I went back to the family and found them dead, while the two remaining members are missing.
Shinobu: .............
Inei: That's why, after I rest, I will find them.
Shinobu: ..........
Shinobu: You're going away once more?
Inei: Yes.
Shinobu: ..............
