Maybe some 30 minutes had passed since the pair slipped out, but it seemed as though things had already started rapping up.

Rengoku and Mitsuri were cleaning up some of the mess left behind. Sanemi had passed out on the floor in the middle of the room, presumably from all the alcohol. Tengen laid against one of the walls, his face clearly flushed from all the drinking, even he had his limits.

Kanae on the other hand was nowhere in sight.

"Where is she?" Shinobu mumbled to herself.

"She went to the bathroom shortly after you two stepped out." Mitsuri answered unexpectedly.

"Ok, thank you." Shinobu replied as she stared at the clearly passed out Sanemi.

Someone had at least taken the care to roll him on his side while he slept.

"Do you two need any help?" Giyuu asked.

"It's fine, I will stay and help clean." Rengoku said completely dismissing Giyuu's concern.

"I believe it would be best if you helped Shinazugawa-San get home." Rengoku said while pointing towards the clearly passed out Sanemi.

"Tomioka-San."

Shinobu and Giyuu both turned to find none other then Kanae standing behind them.

"May I request your assistance with something?" She said while clearly eyeing Sanemi.

"I'm thinking about taking him back to the butterfly estate for tonight."

Giyuu quickly figured out what she needed.

"I'll carry him." He said.

"Thank you."

"I told him not to drink too much, but..... he didn't seem to listen." Kanae said with a sigh.

"Uzui! How are you getting home?" Giyuu asked across the room.

"Iguro-San's gonna help me." Tengen hollered back.

"Alright." He said to himself as he picked up Sanemi and placed him on his back.

"I'll help you." Shinobu said while grabbing onto Sanemi's hands to get him onto Giyuu's back more easily.

"Kyojuro, Kanroji, it's been a pleasure, but I believe we'll be leaving now." Kanae said with a small wave.

"Take care!" Mitsuri said while stuffing her face with some leftover food.

The 4 left from the front door, Kanae leading the way as the 3 stepped out.

They walked in silence for a few minutes before Kanae said anything.

"I'm not letting him drink again." She proclaimed a little annoyed.

"Why's that?" Giyuu asked as he continued trudging forward.

"He can't control himself, I swear, sometimes he worries me." She said while pinching the bridge of her nose.

"He smells terrible too." Shinobu commented after audibly sniffing the air.

Sanemi did in fact reek of alcohol, Giyuu especially noticed so since he was the one literally carrying the passed out man.

It wasn't a very long trip, maybe another half hour or so of walking before they arrived.
