Sanemi and Giyuu didn't even realise how fast the time went by.

Three days had passed by in no time.

It was finally the day when they had to leave for the headquarters.

"Take care, Grandma."
Sanemi ran his hand through his hair.

"I will look forward to meeting you in the future..."
Giyuu bowed.

"I will... look forward to it... as well."
She smiled at the two.

"Take care of yourselves, Okay...?"
She held Sanemi's hand, staring at it for some time. She then held Giyuu's, holding both of them in a firm grip.

She squeezed their hands, pulling them closer to each other.

"I hope..."
She paused abruptly.

"I hope you two stay together like this, forever..."
She smiled.

Both Sanemi and Giyuu blushed, looking away from each other.

"I... I guess we should leave now."
Sanemi said, his blush deepening.

Giyuu nodded.
"It's getting late..."

Mayumi laughed softly, waving the two goodbye.

It was scorching hot, Sanemi and Giyuu could hardly walk properly.
They felt like they could evaporate with the extreme heat, the sound of crickets everywhere.

Giyuu sighed.
"How long is it from here?"

Sanemi exhaled, looking over at Giyuu.
"I guess half an hour... Or maybe even more."

Giyuu nodded, his gaze shifting to his feet.

After a complete hour of walking in such heat, the two finally reached the headquarters.

They made their way to the Ubuyashiki Mansion.

Kagaya was sitting there, calmly.

"Sanemi, Giyuu."

"Yes Master."
The two bowed, looking at their master.

"I'm very proud of you, good job..."
Kagaya smiled.

"Thank you, Oyakata-Sama..."

"Just keep practicing, we can defeat Kibutsuji Muzan if we work together, hand in hand."

The two nodded.

Kagaya ended the meeting with a soft, warm smile.

Sanemi stood up, making way to his Estate.

"Shinazugawa-San..."
Giyuu stopped Sanemi, stepping closer.

Sanemi turned around, looking at Giyuu curiously.

"Hm?"

Giyuu blushed as he looked at Sanemi.

Shinazugawa-San looks so nice today...
No no, he looks nice everyday...
He smiled at his thoughts.

"I was wondering if you'd like to come to my place."
Giyuu asked, his eyes filled with warmth and hope.

Surprised by the request, Sanemi's expression softened for a moment as he smiled softly.
He took a deep breath, his eyes still locked onto Giyuu's.

"I'd like that. But only if you promise me one thing."

"Yes?"
Giyuu asked almost immediately.

"...That,"
Sanemi paused for a moment.

"That it's just us. I don't want anyone else interfering, or trying to take what's mine..."
He said, almost mumbling the last part.
