Kiyo's eyes sparkled and a smile formed on his face at the sight of the person infront of him.

"Wah! Onii-chan!" Kiyo exclaimed and hugged him "Yoshi-chan, why are you all the way here? And

"Wah! Onii-chan!" Kiyo exclaimed and hugged him "Yoshi-chan, why are you all the way here? And... is that the Raiden Shogun?" his brother asks and gently pats Kiyo's head

"Yes! She just retrieved my vision today!" Kiyo said and his brother giggled with his eyes closed "I'm happy that the vision hunt decree is finally over. Thank you, Shogun-sama" his brother spoke

Ei smiled at the two brothers "My pleasure. You must be Shikanoin Heizou, nice to meet you" Ei said and bowed

"It's a pleasure to meet you too. Anyways, why are you here in the city, Yoshi-chan?" Heizou asked and Kiyo stopped hugging him

"We're finding where Sayu is" Kiyo said and Heizou puts a hand under his chin "Sayu? Is she missing?" Heizou asked

Kiyo shook his head "No, she's not missing! We just want to look for her, that's all" Kiyo said and Heizou opened one eye, as he stares down at his brother and giving him a sly smile

"Why do you want to find her?" Heizou asks in a teasing tone "Because... I want to ask her what her wish is..." Kiyo said and stared down at the ground with his hands behind his back

Heizou tilted his head "Wish?" he questioned "Shogun-sama said that she will grant me one wish... but I don't have any in mind, so I want to ask Sayu what she wants to wish" Kiyo explained

Heizou smiled and patted Kiyo's head "I will help you two find Sayu" Heizou said and Kiyo was in glee "Really!?" Kiyo asked and Heizou nodded

"First, we need ask someone close to her to know where she usually goes. Do you have any ideas where she might be?" Heizou asks "No. But we're searching for Kano Nana, a shrine maiden supervising Sayu" Kiyo said

Heizou hummed "Kano Nana? She's our distant elder cousin, I saw her somewhere in our family tree. I spotted a shrine maiden near a sakura tree earlier, perhaps that's Kano?" Heizou said

"Where?! Let's go to her quickly, before our cousin leaves!" Kiyo said and Heizou leads them the way.

The shrine maiden sighed and leans against the tree "Where has she run off to this time...?" she mumbled

Heizou approached the shrine maiden with Ei and Kiyo following him "Miss!" he called out and the shrine maiden turned around

"Yes?" She asked "Are you perhaps Kano Nana?" Heizou asks and she nodded

"Yes, I am Kano Nana" she spoke "We heard that you're a shrine maiden assigned to supervise Sayu's work. Do you know where Sayu is?" Heizou asked "I'm also finding where she is at..." Kano said.

"This is the place where she always takes a nap" Kiyo spoke "Yes, it is. But it seems that she already predicted that I would come looking for her" Kano said

"Well then, I suppose I'll just have to keep searching for her" Kano spoke and sighed

Heizou hummed and turned to Kiyo "Yoshi-chan, do you know where Sayu likes to go?" Heizou asked "...She likes going to Shimura's for some tasty snacks, likes reading light novels from Yae publishing house, and take a nap somewhere shady" Kiyo said

"Let's go there then— Heizou was interrupted by Kano whom spoke "Wait! I've already checked there, she weren't in those places"

While the three were talking, Ei then spotted Aether and Paimon approaching them

"Ah, it's Aether and his companion paimon!" Ei spoke and waved at the two travelers

"Oh look! It's Ei!" Paimon pointed and waved back at her "Hello Ei!" Paimon greeted and flew towards the group

Aether catch up to Paimon "Are you two finished on your investigation on Yashiori Island?" Ei asked and the two nodded

Heizou, Kiyo, and Kano's attention was now on the two travelers "Aether, how was the investigation going on Yashiori Island?" Heizou asked

"It was good but a little bit tough on sneaking to rescue the animals because of those shadow warriors" Aether said

"You have rescued the animals? Very good then. Where are they now?" Heizou asked

"Don't worry, Heizou! We have handed the animals to Sango's care" Paimon said "Heizou? So you're a distant relative of mine" Kano said

"So you just noticed. Anyways, did you happen to come across with a child by the name Sayu?" Heizou said "Uh, no... no we haven't" Aether responded and shook his head

"Are you sure? She's a ninja wearing a mujina costume, pretty hard to miss" Kano said and Aether shook his head again "Really..." was the only thing Kano spoke

Kano groans and huffs "That ninja is always neglectful of her duties" Kano mumbled and rubbed her fingers against her temples

"You have a pretty nice scarf there, Ei" Paimon commented but Ei was just staring into something

Paimon got nervous and waved her little hands infront of her face "Are you okay there?" Paimon asked

"Does that barrel has a tail or am I just hallucinating things?" Ei spoke and pointed at the object

Heizou and Kiyo noticed "Weird. It does have a tail" Heizou said

Aether and Paimon sweat dropped "Aha! Sayu, come out from there! I can see you" Kano called and crossed her arms

The barrel then transformed into Sayu and the cat ninja stared down at the ground

"Don't even think about trying to sneak away. Come over here, this instant!" Kano demanded and Sayu did what she told

"You still have ninjutsu training to complete and these two were also searching for you" Kano said and Sayu gazed towards Kiyo

"Why? Please make it quick..." Sayu spoke with a tired tone in her voice "When Shogun-sama retrieved my vision, she wants to grant a wish for me... but I don't have anything to wish for. So I'm wondering on what's your wish" Kiyo said

Sayu hummed and almost fell asleep while thinking about her wish

"I wish... that I want to be tall" Sayu said "I'm sorry, young one, but I sadly don't have the ability to change someone's body" Ei said making Sayu sigh in hopelessness.

"I don't know... maybe next time? I'm too tired to think right now" Sayu said and Kiyo sighed "We will just send our wish in a letter. I'm sorry for wasting your time, Shogun-sama" Kiyo said

"No, it's okay. You've actually led me to someone to ask them questions" Ei said "I still have matters to attend to" Heizou said

"Sayu, c'mon, you're going with me to Chinju forest to practice your training on ninjutsu" Kano said and grabbed the cat ninja's hand

"Can I go with you?" Kiyo asked for permission "Well certainly" Kano allowed the young boy to go with them.

"Have a nice day with Sayu, Yoshi-chan" Heizou said and patted his head before walking off with Ei and the two travelers with him.
