After the entire ruckus died down, the chaos all but left as the rest of the hashiras pushed you to mingle amongst themselves, introducing each other to you in turn.


"Wah! You have very pretty eyes, [Last Name]-sama!" The pink-haired girl you've come to know as Kanroji Mitsuri cooed out. 


Ubuyashiki had gone back into his estate, briefly allowing you lot to make talk with one another as he sorts through his papers to find the hashiras' next mission.


Beaming at her, you reached out to pat her head until a soft nip at your arm made you hiss and retract your hand.


"Please do not touch Mitsuri-san, [Last Name]." A boy answered from your side, and your turn to see heterochromatic eyes glaring up at you from his seat upon a branch.


Oh? How interesting.


"Why, Iguro-kun, it's almost as if you're afraid of losing Kanroji-san to me." Your eyes gleamed at his more-than-flustered reaction as he tries to deny his affections.


The rest of the hashira stifle a giggle at that, and you wave your hand around flippantly. 


"Relax, I won't take her from you. At least not deliberately, anyway." You coo at the Love Pillar as she glances around abashedly.


"But if you make your pet bite me again I will not hesitate to deep-fry your snake." To prove a point, you grab your gohei out of your sleeve pocket and lightly wack Iguro-san on the forehead.


"I hope I did not make you wait too long, children." Ubuyashiki enters the garden once more, and the once rowdy atmosphere turns serene almost instantaneously.


Giving a somewhat bored yawn, you use the light novel Kanao-chan had given you prior to block your mouth. 


"And [Name]," Ubuyashiki adds in with his signature smile.


"I've asked the rest of the corps to hand over your mission information to your respected estates as to not waste any more time." The corps leader runs one of his fingers down his palm, worriedly unknotting the kinks and massaging the strain of his fingers.


"Thank you all for coming, you are dismissed. Except for [Name] and Giyuu." 


The pillars collective shout out their goodbyes, fervently bowing to their leader as each of them, save for the water hashira, made their ways into their own estates.


One of them stayed back for a bit longer though, lightly nudging Tomioka's arm with a teasing smile. Her butterfly haori swayed with the action, and as quickly of an action she did, she left just as quickly.


Tucking your gohei back into your sleeve pocket, you lightly made your way over to Ubuyashiki, the raven-haired hashira following in suit.


"I'm very sorry to keep you here longer than necessary, [Name]. But I need to set forth a mission that would require both of you."
