Talking between the upper moons was heard all over the place as they recalled how long it had been since the last time they were summoned there.

"Then where's upper moon one? There's no way he'd get killed." Akaza asked Nakime but was disturbed by Douma's sudden appearance

"Upper moon one was the first to arrive. He has been here all this time. Unknown moon was the second to arrive" Nakime answered as she continued to play the Biwa minding her own business.

Everyone had looked to where the duo were sitting while playing something that was called shogi. They all also wondered why she was here. They hadn't been briefed about her role properly enough as it seems. They only knew about her contract.

"Are you cheating or something? I swear no one could beat me before" Eiko muttered as she got up and paced in circles. That was a lie, her father had beaten her multiple times.

"The only reason... why I won... is because... I used to... play it a lot" Kokushibou said slowly. The girl could only huff at his reason and swayed her hand. The board is gone now.

"I still see no reason why I lost. Oh and hello to you to" the white haired lady waved her hand as most of them was facing their way

"Muzan-sama... has arrived..." it was quiet but it was heard as they all saw Muzan above them doing experiments.

"Eiko get me a beaker" Muzan spoke. Eiko was in front of him to see what shapes she would need

"Mind me knowing what size, My Lord?" he had shown her a medium sized one. She disappeared into thin air in front of the others.

Eiko was in a sort of storage room that had many normal and weird things inside. She only took what was necessary and left.

"Here you go" Eiko said as she carefully put the beaker on the table as it didn't fall. Cool. gravity is currently giving her headaches as she just stared intently at the beaker

"Eiko-" Muzan called out but saw that she was, quite seriously watching the beaker. He sighed at her childish nature, she had been in here probably more times than the rest of the others and she still couldn't grasp how it works. Nevermind that

A coughing sound was heard as Eiko looked up seeing Muzan raising his eyebrow at brow at her

"Yes...?" she asked at first but it soon clicked what she was here for. "Sorry, sorry I forgot" She scratched the back of her head she started reporting what had happened during the fight at the Entertainment District

A few moments later she had finished her report, taking in a big breath "may I go now?" She looked at Muzan, kinda hinting she wanted to go sleep or something

"Not so fast Eiko, A few more things are to be discussed" Muzan raised his hands in a stopping motion. She heaved a sigh as she took a seat in front of him and only slept. She half awake tho

She has guts was all Akaza could say. Douma only laughed as this was only the second time seeing her in person and being able to see her personality. Hantengu shivered with fear at the disrespect right about now

they discussed the information that Gyokko had shared on the hidden village filled with swordsmiths who make katana's for demon slayers

"Gyokko if you can confirm your information. Head over there with Hantengu and Eiko"

"Eeep! Understood sir" Hantegu trembled as he bowed

The lady in front of Muzan just gave him a thumbs up but raised her head a bit and said "Gyokko and Hantengu, you guys head there first. I want to sleep" she had got up and disappeared.

Muzan chuckled at the way she was acting. Maybe he had worked her a bit too hard

"Does she even know where we're heading..?" Gyokko asked wondering out loud

"She does so don't mind it. You are all dismissed"

"You know, I really don't get it whenever you come here it's just for sleep sleep sleep sleep" Yushiro muttered as he had opened the door of Eiko's room to sweep it only to find the demon fast asleep on the bed.

"Shut up will you. I'm tired" Eiko grumbled. She faced the other way as her back was now facing Yushiro. He sighed and did his job peacefully sweeping the floor and exited her room

"Tamayo-san, Eiko is here by the way" Yushiro said as he popped into her study seeing as she was writing some things down. She gave the boy a gentle smile and nodded at him. Tamayo-san is even prettier today!

"Thank you for telling me Yushiro. If she's sleeping do not bother her" Yushiro nodded his head as he made his leave to tend to other things

Meanwhile in Eiko's room

"Goddammit, why am I so smart to turn into a demon and now stuck with two sides to deal with" she messed up her hair, stressed by the last few meetings she'd have with her father. She decided against his plans but said it was the only way to draw him in.

"Whatever it is, I plan on protecting you till the very end. That was my promise the moment I became a pillar"
