Many days had passed.

Sanemi was taking a bath in his Estate.
Once he got dressed, he went to the kitchen to get some food.

His crow flew to him, landing on his head.

"Sorai?"
Sanemi looked up at the bird.

"There's a meeting this afternoon, Sanemi!"
The crow cawed, flying away.

Sanemi sighed.
"Alright..."

He prepared some rice balls for breakfast.

There must be a new mission...
He thought, chewing on his food.

He looked outside, the sky was clear.
Sanemi smiled at the sight.

The weather looks nice...
He thought.

"I wonder what Tomioka's doing right now..."
He muttered.

Giyuu was in his Estate, making some tea. It had almost been a week since he'd talked with anyone except for Kanzaburou.

"Giyuu..."
The bird flew to him, landing on the table.

"Hey..."
Giyuu patted Kanzaburou's little head.

"There's a meeting this afternoon."
The crow said.

"...A meeting?"
Giyuu wondered.

He sipped some tea, opening the window and letting the fresh air enter the house.

It could be a new mission...
He thought, looking at the clear weather outside.

After relaxing for a while, he went to the backyard, practicing with a wooden sword.

He continued till he was all sweaty.

He finally took a bath.

It was almost time for the meeting.

"Hurry up, Sanemi!"
Sorai flew over his head.

"Yeah yeah! Okay!"
Sanemi made his way to his Master's Mansion.

On his way, he found Giyuu.

"Tomioka?"
He called out.

Giyuu turned back.
"Shinazugawa-San?"

Sanemi ran up to him.
"You're going to the Mansion?"

"Yes."

"Let's go together, then."
The two walked to the Ubuyashiki Mansion.

As they reached, they found Kagaya already sitting there.
Kagaya heard the footsteps approaching.

"Sanemi, Giyuu..."
He smiled softly.

The two Hashiras bow down.

"Sorry for being late, Oyakata-Sama."
Sanemi said.

"It's okay..."
Kagaya replied.

"I've called you two for an important reason."

The two looked at their master, alarmed.

"Head to the south of Tokyo tomorrow, it wouldn't take you long enough to reach there by foot. There are demons lurking there..."
Kagaya said.

The two looked at him with a determined expression.

"I have assigned the Mansion where you will be staying. Finish off those demons and return safely."
