Normal POV
As Sanemi and Obanai made their way to the Ubuyashiki mansion, the former grumbled, "We're the last ones, huh?"
"Seems like it," Obanai replied as they entered the room where the other Hashira were already gathered.
"Sorry to keep you waiting," Obanai apologized. "No problem. Well done on your mission," Gyomei Himejima, the Stone Hashira, commended them.
"It was nothing. I heard Kanroji and Tokitou had a fight against the Upper Ranks," Sanemi remarked, looking at Mitsuri and Muichiro.
"Yeah. They were strong! I felt like I couldn't do it anymore, but we all pulled together. Right, Tokito-Kun?" Mitsuri said enthusiastically.
Muichiro nodded, "Yeah." Sanemi scowled, "Ugh... That makes me jealous. Why haven't I encountered an Upper Rank?"
"It's like almost everyone is running into them. Kanroji and Tokitou, how are you feeling now?" Obanai asked, a rare note of concern in his voice.
"Oh! Thanks for asking. I'm much better now!" Mitsuri said, her eyes sparkling with gratitude. Internally, she was ecstatic. "Oh, my! He's worried about me! Ahh~!"
"I'm fine too, although I'm worried Miyuki is still not awake," Muichiro admitted, his expression troubled.
"Leave her be. It's not like you could've stopped her," Tomioka reassured him.
"You talk as if you know her well," Sanemi interjected, a hint of jealousy in his tone that went unnoticed by most.
Tomioka glanced at Sanemi and then away, which only irked the Wind Hashira further.
"If we lose any more Hashira, the Corps will be in danger. Defeating two Upper Ranks without dying is a tremendous feat," Gyomei added.
"You two healed unusually fast this time. What happened?" Shinobu chimed in. "I believe Oyakata-Sama will talk about that matter too," Tomioka mused.
Just then, Amane Ubuyashiki, Kagaya's wife, entered the room with their children. "Thank you for waiting. At today's Hashira meeting, I, Amane Ubuyashiki, will represent Kagaya Ubuyashiki."
"I would also like to apologize sincerely for the fact that Kagaya-Sama will no longer be able to appear before you due to his declining health," Amane informed them, bowing deeply.
The Hashira bowed in return, their faces filled with concern.
"Understood. I pray that his flame of life continues to burn even one day longer. I also pray that your spirit remains strong, Amane," Gyomei said softly.
