Yushiro cleaned the shelves with precision, until his senses perked up. He gasped, "Lady Tamayo?!?!" He immediately dropped his things, running to the room his master is in.

"Good evening, Tamayo." A crow said, its voice deep but soft. The woman's eyes widened. "It is dangerous to leave a window open at night," it said, perched on her window. "But still, the moon is beautiful tonight. It is nice to meet you, I am the messenger of Kagaya Ubuyashiki," the crow said politely.

Tamayo simply stared at the crow with disbelief and suspicion.

The crow hummed, "You are suspicious of me. It is understandable. As expected, it is difficult for me to gain your trust as Tanjiro did."

'What are his intentions? Is Ubuyashiki trying to deceive me?'

The woman thought, narrowing her eyes. "Where is Yushiro?" she asked with a firm tone.

"There is no need to worry about Yushiro. Listen, you can hear his footsteps running."

The demon looked up at the ceiling, the sound of Yushiro's footsteps evident.

"Now, I shall tell you my business." The crow's eyes were staring into Tamayo's.

"In the demon slayer corps, there is also a kid who is knowledgeable about demon bodies and pharmacology...we would like you to look into Nezuko's transformation together with her, in order to defeat Muzan Kibutsuji. Would you work with us?" it asked as Tamayo let out a soft gasp, the crow's eyes boring into her soul.

"We invite you to the Ubuyashiki residence."

Tamayo, in disbelief, had a train of thought running through her mind.

'I, a demon, am invited to the demon slayer corps headquarters?'

"I look forward to hearing good news from you."

And with that, the crow flew away, leaving the stunned woman to contemplate the decision she has to make.

"Lady Tamayo!" Yushiro barged into the room, sweat dripping down his face. "Lady Tamayo..." He walked forward, going towards the woman.

"Yushiro..." she said softly.

"Let's get out of here, quickly. The preparations are ready." 

"No need," she said firmly, making the boy confused.

"Now that Nezuko has overcome the sun, something big has began to stir...no, maybe it was already in motion before that." She looked out the window to see the moon.

"The event of that day has finally culminated unto this day."

Memories come flashing back to her and her eyes softened.

"And perhaps..."

"Lady Tamayo, could it be..."

"It's true that we're moving out of this place. But now, it's different from what we've done. I'll quickly summarize the research results so far." She put the curtains over to cover the window, walking over to the light haired boy.

"I need your help, Yushiro; this might be the last time we move."

She put her hand on the pile of books she'd been writing on, "Let’s go to the demon slayer corps headquarters."

"To the Ubuyashiki residence."

Tanjiro read the letters, "Master Ubuyashiki..."

Tanjiro, how are your injuries?

How unfortunate.

Now I'm unable to move.

Actually, I want to have a chat with Giyuu, but I can't.
