To say that the Ubuyashiki mansion was busy was a underestimate. The annual meeting/gathering for the pillars and the trial of Kamado Tanjiro was going on.
———————————————————————— After Nezuko resists Shinazugawa's Marechi blood.
"And that's proof the Nezuka won't attack—" "SCREECH—SCREECH—" A unfamiliar giant eagle interrupted as it came swooping down to land on the porch of the mansion. As Tokito Muichiro-the mist pillar- shifted a little to fling a rock at it, Oyakata-Sama held up his hand to stop him. "What's the message?" He asked softly while looking towards the sky. "SCREECH SCREECH (Y/N) (L/N)!! REPORT FOR MISSION OYAKATA-SAMA SENT!! URGENT!! URGENT REPORT!!" "Go on," he said, with his face stiffening before going back to normal. "MUSIC PILLAR (Y/N)(L/N) WILL RETURN FORM THE KIBUTSUJI MUZAN SEARCH MISSION. MISSION SUCCESSFUL. BATTLED LOWER MOON 2,3, AND 4 AND A UN-RANKED DEMON WHICH WAS STRONG AS AN UPPER MOON!! GAINED NEW IMPORTANT INFORMATION!! REQUST TO TALK TO OYAKATA-SAMA AND THE PILLARS. ALSO THINKS IT WILL BE A GOOD IDEA TO REVEAL PART OF THE INFORMATION TO ALL IN THE ORGANIZATION!! SCREECH!! WILL ARRIVE SOON—NOW!!" (Most of) Those present widened their eyes in surprise. 'Battled 4 supposedly strong demons and making it alive? Just who is she?' Thought (some of) the pillars. Meanwhile, Tanjiro was in awe hearing that she battled lots of demons, the weakest being a lower moon 4. 'And I couldn't kill Lower moon 5 by myself. I need to get stronger,' he thought, determinedly. After that, Muichiro whispered '(N/N)-Chan?', Oyakata-Sama told one of the Kakushi to let her in, Tanjiro smelled the oh-so-familiar scent; blood, and the faint voice saying, "I'm already here, Oyakata-sama," was heard besides Mitsuri. "..." A second later, everything became chaotic. Mitsuri screamed a high-pitched scream seeing the cloaked stranger, Iguro dashed quickly to protect Mitsuri (to apprehend her, as Iguro insisted), and Oyakata-Sama smiled as he ordered everyone to calm down (It took 3 seconds, way more than usual). "Well, what a nice surprise. I thought that it would take you three more months at the least. You always manage to get in using your quick thinking, I'm impressed (y/n). Do tell me that story another time," he said while masking his surprise. "Of course. And I encountered some, ahh.. surprising guests during my mission. I do apologize for being a bit late. It should have taken me three fewer days." she spoke in an annoyed tone. "So I've heard. You encountered Lower moon 2, 3, and 5 along with an un-ranked demon, right? If I understand correctly, this demon was as strong as an upper moon?" Oyakata-sama asked politely. "Yes, that's right." There was a moment of silence and Misturi took this as a cue to ask the million dollar question. "Umm... Oyakata-Sama? Would you mind explaining?" Asked a timid Mitsuri as the others except Muichiro nodded in union. "Oh, my apologies, Mitsuri. This is (Y/N) (L/N), the tenth pillar, Music pillar." Oyakata-sama said smiling subtly. Sanemi asked a question as well. "How come weren't notified about her existence?" That's the real question the pillars had and were waiting for an explanation. "Ahh... Well, she came back from a mission I sent her two years ago. The mission was for a pillar, and it was urgent, you see, but since she insisted that she wasn't worthy, it took a lot of persuading to get her to agree. She left on the mission on the day she became a pillar, so I didn't get a chance to introduce her to you guys. Okay, my children?" Mitsuri and a few others nodded vigorously. Unknown to them, a certain cloaked figure smiled faintly. "Speaking of which, it's been a while, hasn't it, Oyakata-Sama?" She said while taking down her hood. There stood a pretty girl who looked about 15. He hummed in agreement. "Well then, let's talk about the report inside." Otakata-sama suggested but was quickly turned down."Actually, I would like Tanjiro here to hear part of my report." She turned to the burgundy haired boy. "If you don't mind, can you pass it onto your friends and other members? This is very urgent and I need someone to explain it to them to them in person. Oyakata-Sama?" The man nodded. "Well, in that case, go ahead." He replied. She cleared her throat and said, "It's about the un-ranked demon. After defeating the four demons, I encountered Kitsubushi Muzan and sneaked into the network of demons to gather information when I stumbled across interesting information. You see, the fact that there was a demon who isn't a upper or lower moon but was stronger than a lower moon was bothering me very much. It's been on my mind, so when a careless demon babbled on, I matched the information with the abnormal demon and understood. You see, the demon said that a new class of demons appeared just recently." Gasps were heard as they all had troubled looks. She continued. "They're called the full moons and they've got special stones planted inside themselves. Those stones make them more stronger and immune to wisteria. Therefore allowing them to attacks villages surrounded with wisteria. The full moons consists of 5 demons right now. Oh, but I should say 4 since I slayed one. These demons are stronger and more troublesome than lower moons so tanjiro, advise the slayers to be extra careful. Oyakata-Sama, considering all the things that have been happening and this, I believe that it's probable to think that the Kibutsuji Muzan is preparing for war. Therefore, we need to train the lower ranked slayers by the three pillars ourselves to prepare our side." Oyakata-Sama replied after thinking,"Hmm.. you do have a point, (Y/N). I'll think about it. It is quite troubling to know that the number of troublesome demons have increased. Great job, (Y/N). Is that it that you're informing Tanjiro?" "Yes, Oyakata-Sama." He clapped his hands and told the kakushi to take Tanjiro away. But, just before he was taken out of sight, Tanjiro asked the music pillar a question that made everyone freeze. "Why are you bleeding heavily, (L/N)-san? I can smell lots of blood from you." To think of it, there was a dark red puddle around her. One can also see faintly the soaked blood on her black cloak.
The pillars' reactions to the 10th pillar:
Tomioka: Surprised and puzzled
Kochō: Curious and bloodthirsty
Muichiro: Normal but happy that she came back safely.
Mitsuri: in awe
Shinazugawa: confused and angry
Himejima: interested
Uzui: thinking that she's flamboyant
Iguro: suspicious
Rengou: 'how awesome she is to become a pillar at just 11 years of age.'
