You adored sunbathing. The warmth and peacefulness of it made you whole. The feeling of morning dew against every fibre of your being was ecstatic. No one dared interrupt you. Not out of fear but out of respect: you were the Stone Hashira tsuguko, after all.

Despite laying lazily in the grass, your senses were active. And so, you knew who and how people moved around you. "Morning, Shinazugawa."

By your side he stood and bowed forward, towering over you so you'd faced one another. Your teacher protegee beamed. "Morning, (l/n)-san." He knew just how much you hated leaving a comfortable position. Genya, despite his rough outside, held care and thoughtfulness for others. You were very much the same but your senses of assumptions were sharper. "I doubt you came to meditate with me."

"A point for you," he said, "You've received a request for a mission from the Butterfly Estate."

Kocho sent me a request? Odd.

It wasn't the first time you saw the Insect Hashira. Your paths had crossed before, exchanging a few polite greetings. However, never had you properly met. To her, you must have been a forgivable face. This is why you were not surprised when she greeted you as a stranger. "Ara ara~ Himejima-san's tsuguko! It's a pleasure!"

Politely, you bowed to show her the proper respect etiquette required. "Himejima-san greatly recommended you. I hope you'll show yourself worthy of such praises."

Slowly, she made her way toward the garden. You followed from a distance. "We will keep watch of the demonic activities in a village in the north. According to the report, people started disappearing suddenly. A few blood stains were left behind. It could simply be repetitive murder, but we're never careful enough."

A watch? Sending a Hashira and a Tsuguko for a watch? How wasteful of resources.

"The Village is large and with how fast people disappear, we suspect it is a lower moon."

Oh.

"Please get ready. We will leave in an hour."

"Yes, Kocho-sama."

You couldn't help but analyze people. As much as you observe every inch of a movement from your opponents. Shinobu Kocho was no exception and so, at every harmony she hummed, you listened carefully.
