[ Walhallas Castle - Main Hall ]

A group of two people walks towards a grand throne-like seat.

The seat is wide and attached, allowing the three to sit together.

The two figures are Greymor and Kazuto. Kazuto is the leader of the Walhallas, while Greymor serves as the co-leader.

The members of the clan are busy training outside, leaving only the guards inside.

Kazuto and Greymor engage in a deep discussion.

Grey: "Did you contact Muzan?"

Kazuto: "Not yet."

"He’s said to be busy nowadays."

Grey: "It seems like he’s ignoring us."

Kazuto: "I don’t think so."

"He’s always been a loyal friend to me,"

"beyond the alliance between the Walhallas and Agiadd."

Grey: "I’m not so sure he’s that type."

Kazuto: "Grey,"

"you don’t know Muzan like I do."

"We’ve been best friends since he arrived at Peak."

Grey: "I’m not disrespecting your friendship,"

"Kaz."

"I’m just offering my opinion."

Kazuto smiles gently.

"It’s okay, I understand where you’re coming from."

Grey: "Thank you."

Suddenly, Muzan enters the castle, catching both Kazuto and Greymor by surprise.

Muzan: "Yo."

Kazuto rises from his seat and runs towards Muzan, hugging him tightly.

Kazuto: "Muzan!! I thought you were mad at me for something!"

Muzan smiles.

"How could I be, Kaz?"

Kazuto: "I knew it! You’d never leave me or lose faith and loyalty towards me."

Muzan pats Kazuto’s shoulder.

"Don’t worry."

"This will be our last meeting."

Kazuto: "Huh?"

Muzan: "I mean, this will be our last meeting for this week."

"I’m going on a mission."

Kazuto: "I see."

"I’ll miss you,"

"Muzan."

Muzan: "I’ll miss you too,"

"haha."

Kazuto and Muzan walk together around the castle, enjoying a conversation like old friends.

Kazuto, his arm still draped over Muzan’s shoulder, is excited, fully expressing his love and true friendship.

Suddenly, Kazuto trips over a mat, but Muzan catches him before he falls.

Kazuto, stunned, smiles at Muzan.

"Thank you, Muzan."

"you always have been my loyal, good friend."

Muzan smiles gently, though an unsettling aura lingers behind his actions.

The bell of Agiadd Castle rings, echoing through the hall.

Muzan: "Oh, it seems your time is up."

Kazuto: "What?"

Muzan: "I mean, our meeting time is over, Kazuto."

Kazuto: "Sure, see you next week, Muzan."

Muzan smiles and walks away without looking back.

His robe dramatically vanishes as he exits the castle.

Kazuto:

"Thank you for everything, Muzan."

"I’m happy for you being at your best."

At the castle’s outer entrance, a boy approaches.

The guard stops him.

Guard: "Who are you?"

The boy remains silent, his face expressionless.

Guard: "You can hear me, right? Answer me!"

The boy still doesn’t respond, his stare intensifying.

Guard: "Are you deaf or somethi—"

Suddenly, blood splatters across the entrance door, cutting the guard's words short.

Two other guards rush towards the castle door and burst into the main hall.

Guard 2: "Kaz!!!"

"Our castle!"

"It’s under attack!!!"

Grey’s eyes widen.

Kazuto: "By which clan?"

Guard 2: "A single man!"

Kazuto: "Huh?"

Grey: "Let me go and check."

Kazuto: "No, wait."

"Who is he?"

Guard 2: "He claims to be the king of the Heavenlys, a clan."

Grey: "Heavenlys?"

Kazuto's eyes light up with excitement.

Kazuto: "Heavenlys?!!"

Grey: "Do you know about them?"

Kazuto: "Yes!! Muzan used to talk to me about them all the time!"

Guard 2: "Kaz—"

Kazuto: "Let him come."

The shadow of the boy enters the main hall, his presence casting a dark, ominous aura.

Chapter Ends.
