Y/N and Giyuu continue on the road for another week. Walking on feet, using the train once to move to another town. Giyuu looks curiously at her shoes before, the lace white sneaker now covered in dirt, but he didn't question the strange design. The majority of the trip is in silence, with Y/N being the only person initiating conversation and Giyuu giving curt responses.
They arrived at what Giyuu called the Butterfly Estate, where his master resides. It is also considered a headquarter for the Demon Slayer Corp. Getting here was confusing, if she was to draw out a map, it might take her least 20 times to have just a slight idea how to put it together. The roads, the paths, all are like a maze, as if it is make on purpose.
Butterfly Estate, is a beautiful traditional house locate in the middle of nowhere in a small town that would take only a few minutes to memorize every building. Rather than being called a town, it looks more like a family have gathered together to build these houses up. Yet, the buildings are meticulously built. Its traditional beauty displays at every corner. There are a few people around, dressed in the same uniform as Giyuu's. They greet Giyuu with respects and excitements upon seeing him, curiously look at Y/N. But they know it would be pointless asking the Water Hashira, after all they don't expect a clear answer from him.
Giyuu takes Y/N to a building at the end of the small town, wisteria trees are spotted from the other side of the fence in the garden. Upon walking past the main door, the beautiful sight of the big garden leaves an imprinted impression on Y/N. The town has wisteria tree planted in the surrounding, but this place, this place is full of them. It's beautiful.
"Welcome back, Giyuu-san." A small young girl with black hair greets the man. Dressed in a purple kimono, her hair is cut short over her shoulders.
"Thank you, Kuina. Is master Kiriya aware of my arrival?" Giyuu's monotonous tone cracks slightly as he speaks to the girl much younger than him.
"Kiriya-sama is awared, he is in the west Garden, Kanao Hashira had also arrived." Kuina slightly bows before leading Giyuu and Y/N.
Her curiosity peaks at who this person Kiriya must be. How old is him to be able to lead an organization with people as talented as Giyu? And what does he look like?
"Kiriya-sama, Giyuu-san is here." Kuina informs the two people who are playing in the west Garden.
A young girl, her hair tied up in a ponytail sideway with a butterfly decoration there. She dressed in the same uniform with her own distinctive haori, a sword at the side of her waist. She looks young, too young to be the leader of an organization.
She smiles upon seeing them, a sweet and friendly smile yet it's seem so hard to read what's behind it. She looks even younger than Y/N and Giyuu. Beside her is a young boy around Kuina's age, no one needs to tell Y/N that the boy is Kuina's sibling. The resemblance is undeniable.
The young boy is dressed in a black yukata with a white haori over, purple pattern flower at the lower part. The young boy holds a ball inside his small arms, seeming to have just catch it from the young woman.
Giyuu kneels down on his knees, his head lower upon seeing them.
"Kiriya-sama." Giyuu respectfully greets.
Surprised at the sight of Giyuu kneeling down, Y/N quickly too kneel down on her knees. She does not know them, and they all are younger than her. But if Giyuu, the man who saved her life, held this much respect for the master, then she too should show the same respect.
"Welcome back, Giyuu." The young boy grins cheerfully upon seeing the older man. "Did you buy the snack?"
"Yes, Kiriya-sama." Giyuu's response stunned and shocked Y/N. Her eyes widened open.
