"May we see each other again Miyako! Since your full recovery, the Master of the Demon Slayer Corps, Ubuyashiki, had requested to meet you and your sister with the rest of the Hashira. They may want to talk to you about coming here, and where you may be from."

Miyako had just finished her breakfast, and was now on a one-on-one conversation with Lady* Kochou, who takes ownership of the Butterfly Mansion she currently resides in. The insect Hashira claimed she and the other Hashira were talking about her once Rengoku had told everyone about her and Mirei and had wanted to meet her due to some information being tossed around about her near encounter with a demon.

"Good morning!! W-When will it be?? Do I bring Mirei along?"

"Around Midday, but I suppose you can bring you sister, but I don't think it's necessary, since she may be overwhelmed with their presence."

"Alright... Is anyone coming along with me?"

"I could say I am participating in the meeting, but to accompany you to the residence, I think maybe the other demon slayers who reside in the mansion could come along if they're willing."

"Mhm... I'll ask!"

"Don't worry! But please, have lunch first before coming, having an empty stomach isn't a great choice during a meeting!!"

Hm, I think that was similar to what Aoi said when I first met her... good job Miyako, bringing the pieces together!

"Alright, uhm, see you soon Lady* Kochou!"

"Farewell, I'll pray that our paths may meet again!"

Shinobu exited the room, leaving Miyako stunned on her 'first' professional conversation with someone of a higher rank than her, other than her father Kyoshiro... It was now time for Miyako to find someone willing to bring her to the Ubuyashiki household, where her 'first' professional meeting would be held.

"Ah??? You're invited to a meeting with the Hashira???"

Tanjiro bounced from his chair, surprised in Miyako's sudden invitation to a meeting he well knew of. Earlier, before he had arrived at the Butterfly estate, he had a chance to see the Hashira up close, but all for the cost of Sanemi having pierced through his sister's box in the process, but afterwards, was able to receive a blessing by the Master of the Corps himself after reading the letter from Urokodaki about Nezuko.

"Mhm... but I'm looking for someone to bring be there... but I'm not sure who's that right person... hehe-"

"I'm sorry Nakashima-san, I don't really want to go back, having been there before, but I think Ryo-kun can go!! I'm not sure if I can trust Inosuke or Zenitsu alone..."

He glanced at Inosuke and Zenitsu, who seemed to be eyeing each other as they tried to finish their lunches, constantly looking up and down to see whether any of them would take the first move, but Ryo, who sat on either side of them, Tanjiro and Miyako, had knocked Zenitsu out again, watching his head fall in a straight 'bang' onto the table in front of him.

"Gah!! Ryo-kun!!! Why did you do that again!!!"

Miyako looked horrified when Ryo brought out his large smirk.

"That dumbass won't beat any crap about fucking table manners, with Inosuke making it even worse when I swear, they were going to brawl right afterwards."
