The three made their way through the large estate gates, it seemed as though the former love pillar's estate had grown in size since the last time they visited.
The massive garden with arched walkways was filled with colorful flowers and the like as they approached the entrance.
Giyuu set his little girl down before knocking on the front door.
"Do you think we're early?" Shinobu asked as she took Tsutako's hand.
"I doubt it." Giyuu said as he stared at the door, he was always late, that was just something he knew instinctively.
The door rattled a little before it swung open, a singular man with a mask staring at the three.
"Oh, Tomioka, Kocho, and...." Obanai scratched his head for a second as he looked at the little girl.
"Your.... daughter?" He sort of figured. She really did look exactly like her parents.
"It's been years man, it's good to see you." Giyuu replied.
"Yeah, it has, come in, everyone's already out back." Obanai lead the three inside as he shut the front door and walked them to the backyard.
The party had already started, and they were some of the last to arrive as per usual.
"Tomioka!" Tengen shouted as he approached extending his hand out.
"Hey Uzui." He said grabbing and shaking his hand in response.
"It's been a while, I'm surprised you actually showed up, I haven't seen either of you in years!"
"You've been off the map for a while, how's it been going?" Tengen asked.
"Oh y'know, life and stuff." He said not really interestingly.
A black haired woman ran over after spotting the pair.
"BEST BUDDY!" She yelled as she nearly tackled Shinobu.
"Kanroji?" Giyuu asked.
Mitsuri had her hair down and it wasn't pink? Likely from her easing off of the mochi addiction due to Obanai's concerns.
"I haven't seen you two in a long time! Who's the little one?" She asked with a curious fascination.
Giyuu picked up the slightly frightened girl, Tsutako didn't recognize a single one of the people who were so enthusiastic to meet her.
"She's our daughter, Tsutako, say hi." He said as he held her.
"Um...... hello."
"OHMYKAMIYOURSOCUTEICOULDEATYOUUP!" Mitsuri said with that insane energy of hers.
"How have you two been, I'm sure you've been married since?" Shinobu asked the ecstatic woman.
Iguro oddly piped in while Mitsuri assaulted the girl with hugs and kisses.
"We've been good, we have a little one inside but he's sleeping." He explained.
"How old is she?!?!" Mitsuri said after prying herself away.
"She's 6." Giyuu answered.
"6?!?!?" Sanemi said stepping around the corner of the house.
"Oh hey! Shinuzagawa has returned, you have the alcohol I assume?" Tengen said with a small hint of excitement.
"Yeah. Kyojuro! Get over here!" Sanemi said yelling back to someone not seen around the corner.
Rengoku stepped into view with a large crate of items he was carrying.
