"Emergency meeting to commence! Head over to the Ubushiyaki Estate now!" and she could only hum in response as she sliced off the demon head with ease as her crow fluttered around her. She then raised her arm, and her crow soon landed on it.

"I wonder if it's something to do with [name]-sama," she asked as she turned to look at her partner she had gone on a mission with.

"It's not manly of me to not be appearing at the sudden Hashira meeting at the first announcement, but since we have been summoned once more, I think it's something huge," he spoke out as he proceeded to slice off another demon's head with ease.

"Let's go then, it is an emergency after all,"

"LET'S RUN IN A MANLY MANNER!"

"I'm a girl, please don't forget that,"

"There, there, don't cry anymore, [name]," Oyakata-sama spoke out with a soft smile on his face as he held [name] in his arms as she knelt before him with her head resting on his lap as her upper body was bend over.

"You were terrified, I'm sorry you had to go through something so terrifying," Oyakata-sama spoke with his usual soothing voice, hoping that it would help to ease his eldest daughter's trembling self. He watched as she continued to sob against his lap, and he had prevented his wife or his other children from coming near her.

Given that she needed to have a sense of assurance first.

"Oyakata-sama, I've yet to treat her wounds properly. I've only managed to clean the area and wrapped it to prevent infection, but have yet to thoroughly clean it," and Oyakata-sama had on a soft smile as he gently raised [name] up, only to have her slapping his hands away and continued to lay her head against his lap.

"[name]!" Amane called out, only for Oyakata-sama to chuckle a little then.

"It's alright, Amane. She is just terrified," Oyakata-sama spoke in his soothing voice once more and gently patted his eldest daughter on the head.

"[name], we must get you treated first, alright? I'm not going anywhere until you've received proper treatment, so be a good girl and rise up," Oyakata-sama spoke out in a soft voice and he watched as [name] stopped sobbing against his lap and slowly sat up straight.

Oyakata-sama then looked at Shinobu and motioned for her to quickly attend to [name]'s injury while she has sat up properly. Shinobu then nodded and quickly attended to [name]'s injury, and Oyakata-sama could only watch as he looked at the wounds that had happened on his daughter's chest.

The door to the room that they were currently in was slammed open, causing the other Hashiras to flinch upon, and soon shot a look to the one who had entered in such a barbarian manner.

"WE HAVE ARRIVED! IN A MANLY MANNER!" and the Hashiras could only sigh then as they watched the Water Hashira getting up and smacking the man who had shouted.

"Sabito, you're loud," he mumbled out, and Sabito had on a slight pout then as he watched his partner walking towards where Shinobu was.

"Ara, what happened?"

"Nee-san, welcome back. [name]-sama was attacked by Kibutsuji Muzan," Shinobu spoke out and Kanae's eyes widened as she quickly knelt down beside Shinobu and proceeded to help her younger sister in attending the wounds of [name] as well.

"What happened?" Sabito asked as he turned to look at Giyuu, who still continued to have that stoic expression on his face but he was raising an eyebrow in response as he looked at Sabito.

"Why didn't you appear at the first gathering?" he asked.

"I was out on a mission with Kanae to track down the Upper Moon Two demon movements," Sabito explained as he punched Giyuu on the back for giving him that look which he found to be irritating.
