It took a long while until they reached the Demon Slayer Headquarters and stood at wide ope area with a pebble carpet and a garden in front of a mansion where the master of the Demon Slayer Corps waited. Since he was in charge he had to be treated with the most respect. When seeing the man, Kyojuro bowed and Byleth did the same when sensing this calming aura coming from him.
Kyojuro: Oyakata-sama.
Kagaya: Welcome back. It seems your mission was a success.
Kyojuro: Yes! But it wasn't me alone.
Kagaya: Ah... So this is the woman, huh Kyojuro?
Kyojuro: Yes, master. This is Byleth Eisner.
Byleth: A pleasure to meet you.
Kagaya: The pleasure is all mine, my child.
Byleth: Kyojuro thought I should join you.
Kagaya: Is that so...? That's a wonderful idea. Having a strong, bright ad powerful young one such as yourself is a rare occurrence. I think your talents would be best suited in helping us defeat the demons for good.
Byleth: I'll do what I can.
Kagaya: Does that mean you'll join us?
Byleth: I will. After what Kyojuro told and what I've seen.... *balls a fist* they're monsters.
Kagaya: I'm glad to hear that. Thank you, my child.
Byleth: *nods and looks at the sword on her hip* For some readon my sword's able to harm the demons but it's not from the same material like these nichirin blades you call.
Kagaya: How interesting... We will have to see the full lengths of that mysterious sword... Now then, Kyojuro. I'm entrusting her to you. Train her well and make her a fine demon slayer. *looks to Byleth* After hearing how skilled you are already, I shall make you a Tsuchimoto. Right in the middle of the rankings.
Byleth: *surprised* I... Thank you, Oyakata-sama.
Kagaya: Don't be. Now, then Kyojuro. Train her well. Make the Corpse proud. Make her a great demon slayer.
Kyojuro: Yes, master! I won't fail you!
After a nod, Kagaya went into the house and Kyojuro made a handsign at Byleth, making her follow him. While walking on the streets...
Byleth: Well, where now?
Kyojuro: Where else? Home!
Byleth: You told me before that your father won't be very pleased.
Kyojuro: I'll handle him.
Byleth: And what should I do in the meantime?
Kyojuro: You should introduce yourself to my brother and sister. Just be gentle with my brother and... be careful with my sister... She has a temper like a vulcano.
Byleth: Huh?
???: KYOJURO!!
Kyojuro Hm? Oh, hello Rinkah!
Before them came a muscular tanned young woman, with short white hair, red eyes and having an oni mask on top of her head running at them. She had the standard uniform as well, but wore a vest as top, thick arm protectors and had a gauze bandage around her chest. On her cheeks were paintings that looked like red waves.
