WHEN KAORI GREETED  Giyuu in front of the estate, he was so happy that the girl made it back alive that he wanted to take her on another shopping spree but she quickly declined the offer.

As fifteen days passed around, Kaori hurriedly called Giyuu downstairs – telling him that today she would receive her nichirin sword. She was so excited that her usual calm demeanor disappeared.

After some hours passed, Kaori lay down on the floor – obviously sulking as there were no signs of someone bringing a sword to the water estate. "Why is it taking so long... what if they forgot about my sword!?"

"No worries... I'm pretty sure they'll be coming by today, the swordsmiths are usually pretty fast-..."

Before Giyuu finished his sentence, several loud and heavy knocks can be heard from the estate's door as well as heavy pants. "That must be the swordsmith assigned for you."

"I'll get it!!"

●○●

Giyuu and Kaori sat beside each other, facing the masked man who was busy rummaging inside his basket-like bag. "I apologize for the inconvenience... some accidents occurred on the way..."

Giyuu's stoic face bore into the masked man's mask as he flinched, "Well you see, the insect hashira burned the slayer uniform that was meant to be delivered to you before the sword was..."

"Both the insect hashira and love hashira insisted that you shouldn't wear such... uhm... you know..." He scratched the back of his head, "So they threatened the kakushi to make a proper one and they told me to bring it with me when delivering the sword."

"So... making one uniform takes fifteen days?" Kaori questioned, annoyed by the fact that they didn't inform her about the situation.

"Ah well-... Kocho-sama keeps burning the uniform she thinks is too revealing..." His sweat dropped, "So we have no choice but to keep remaking it over and over again until Kocho-sama is satisfied."

'Gosh... I heard that the original female slayer outfit is like Kanroji-san's... I rather kill myself than wear that kind of uniform around.' Kaori gulped, sending her thanks to the insect hashira.

"Apologies, I'm Tetsuko Saji." He bowed his head and so did Kaori as an act of respect, "This is the sword I've created from the ore you have chosen..."

Tetsuko handed Kaori the katana carefully, it had a beautiful design that Kaori liked. The overall colour was black with a few hints of crimson red. The cover of the sword is dyed black along with some crimson red linings.

"Nichirin sword also known as colour-changing swords is made out of a material that is located high above the clouds on top of a mountain where it is constantly exposed to sunlight. It absorbed the sun pretty well and we used these materials to make a sword to kill the demons."
