the girl squatted down and hugged the two, embracing them in a warm hug. the two children were stiff but gradually melted at y/n's comfort.

"lady y/n... it is very nice to see you in good health."
kiriya stated, now returning the hug.

"lady y/n... how was your day?"
kanata asked, now returning the hug.

the two were absolutely precious in y/n's eyes. y/n adored them a lot and would always spoil them if she gets the chance.

"it's really good! what about you too? have you been busy?"
y/n asked, they were in the midst of getting to the room kagaya and amane were in.

"we have been good too. we aren't busy at all."
the two replied simultaneously. it surprised the girl when the kids replied at the same time, with the same words and the same tone.

"we've reached."
kiriya and kanata slid open the door, revealing kagaya seating in front of a table and amane beside him.

"hello y/n, please take a seat."
kagaya gave a warm smile towards y/n. y/n did as he told.

"it's great to see you kagaya, amane."
y/n smiled too, taking in the new calm atmosphere. however, something was a little jarring. kagaya's illness had spread, causing him to be blind in both eyes now.

"one of the hashira has fallen. the flame hashira."
kagaya said in a gentle and delicate tone.

"rengoku... kyojuro, the flame hashira."
y/n trailed off. why didn't kyojuro's crow, kaname inform me? she thought to herself.

"yes. he was defeated by the upper moon three right after defeating a lower moon."
kagaya informed. y/n's eyebrows raised. why did muzan order an upper moon?

"i'm afraid that things are getting more heated. the war between slayers and demons will be imminent."
y/n digested the information. if that was true then... what would happen to her? she is just a mere trainer for the crows who possess no swordsmanship abilities.

"however, that is not the point of the discussion."
kagaya interrupted her train of thoughts. y/n tilted her head slightly.

"kyojuro's crow, kaname, won't leave the grave of kyojuro. we can't tell what it plans are for the future but i'm afraid that the crow had yet to eat or drink."
y/n hitched a breath at kagaya's words. she knew in the back of her mind every single personality traits of her crows.

knowing kaname having a strong, unwavering spirit, she assigned her to kyojuro who was had a blazing spirit. they were a great pair. kaname is loyal to its owners, that's something the crow had been instilled with... loyalty.

"i can speak to kaname."
y/n voiced out. kagaya smiled and patted y/n's head.

"thank you, my child."
