In the Demon Slayer Corps Headquarters, Somewhere around Headquarters..

'That's it! I give up! I'm officially lost in this oversized labyrinth!?' Sabito groaned, leaning back against a nearby tree as he sighs in distress, obviously getting tired from having to walk around like a wandering idiot..

Things would have been a lot easier for him if Kanae had agreed to accompany him, yet sadly enough, she and Doctor Tamayo just had to deal with two very important patients at the Lotus Mansion, which makes it really difficult for Kanae to find time and leave the Lotus Mansion for a small errand with him..

"Namu amida butsu.. Your name is Ha-san, is it not?" A voice asked as Sabito quick turned his head towards the side, only to find himself staring towards the tearful face of the Stone Hashira, who was currently standing before him with a couple of Kakushi cautiously hiding right behind his back

"The Stone Hashira? Gyomei Himejima, right?" Sabito asked as Himejima gave a slight nod before deciding to ask him an interrogative question regarding about the purpose of his visit in the Demon Slayer Corps Headquarters, which Sabito was more than happy enough to answer in exchange for his assistance

Himejima didn't have much of an issue with escorting Sabito there, but he couldn't help but feel a bit cautious about him, considering Sabito was a Demon whom Natsumi had personally trained herself..

A Few Minutes Later, At the Flame Hashira's Mansion..

"Oh! Himejima, I didn't know you were planning to come and visit Hinokami?" The Love Hashira chirped as she happily smiles towards the Stone Hashira in delight, failing to notice the jealous look upon the Serpent Hashira's face as Himejima immediately decides to excuse himself and take take his leave before anything else happens between him and Iguro..

"Bye, Himejima I hope to see you again next ti-.. Huh? Eh! Ha-san?!" Kanroji squeaked as Sabito gave a slight chuckle before waving his hand towards her for a greeting

"Long time no see, Serpent and Love Hashira.." He greeted, only to receive a slight sneer coming from the Serpent Hashira, who immediately grew slightly jealous of Sabito's confidence towards them

"What are you doing here?" Iguro scowled, only to suddenly hear a cheerful little squeal coming from the Flame Hashira's Mansion as he immediately spots Natsumi sprinting over towards them with a blanket over her head and the Water Hashira chasing after her from behind..

Sabito couldn't help but sigh and shake his head in disappointment, he didn't much of a choice but to handle this situation before it gets worst

Handing over his package towards Kanroji as he quickly tries to brace himself for impact at the very moment when he caught sight of Natsumi running up towards him with a mischievous look upon her face, which could only mean one thing for him, and that was falling victim into another one of his mentor's infamous tackles..

"Ha-san!"

"Hinokami, get back here right now!"

'Oh, shit.. Here it com-.. Huh?'

Sabito paused in mid-thought as he suddenly felt a small pair of arms wrap themselves around his thighs, hugging his legs real tight as he suddenly felt a little face nuzzling itself against his thigh

Turning his face towards his thigh, he couldn't help but feel a little bit shock to see Natsumi cuddling his thigh with an ear-to-ear smile upon her face, he had to admit it was rather cute to finally see this side of Natsumi with his own eyes, considering the fact that he always tends to get into trouble more than a few times whenever Natsumi passes by, and that usually tends to happen whenever he was with either, Yuichiro or Makomo at the Shingetsu Fortress..

Sighing in slight distress, Sabito immediately tries his best to pry off the little troublemaker from his legs, only to let out a gentle sigh as he carries her back into the the mansion, to take her medicine as soon as possible..

A Few Seconds Later, At the Flame Hashira's Mansion..

"Ohh~! I feel woozy~!" Natsumi yawned, allowing a small hiccup to escape her lips as she suddenly sets down the empty little glass beaker onto the floor and starts wobbling around the room looking for a pillow to sleep on

"Uhh.. Is that normal?" Tomioka asked as he stares at the drunken little Demon, who was currently laughing hysterically as she twirls herself around in circles before bumping into a wall with a slight giggle

"Hehe! Sworry, Wister!" Natsumi apologized as Iguro chuckles at the sight, he had to admit it was kinda funny to see the little demon apologize to a wall, just from bumping into it after twirling around a couple of times..

"Umm.. Hinokami, how about we get you into bed? You seem a little drunk.." Kanroji asked as Natsumi giggled and denied the fact that she was drunk

"I'm not drunk! I'm tipsy!"

"Aww! Yes, you are!"

"Teehee! No, am not!"

"Oh, yeah? Can you tell the time?" Sabito asked, noticing the squinted look upon Natsumi's face as she stares at his direction for quite some time before turning her head over towards a wall clock

"Okay!" Natsumi replied as she immediately stood up from her seat and wobbled all the way towards the wall clock, only to receive a couple of curious little looks from everyone's faces as she stood upon a couch and points an accusing finger towards the clock

"I am not drunk!" Natsumi exclaimed, failing to hear the sudden bursts of laughter going on against from the background as she immediately starts accusing the wall clock for saying she was drunk, that she had no idea that it was actually Tomioka who was responding to her from the background, considering the fact that Sabito had been nagging him to do it just for fun..

"You are drunk, you should probably go to sleep before you suddenly pass out on the floor.."

"I'm not drunk, you dwummy!"

"Only drunk people denies that they're drunk"

"I am not dwrunk!"

"How many fingers, am I holding?"

"Wou don't wven hwave any wingers! Ywou wonly have hwands!"

"See? You are drunk.."

"Am not! Now, wif wou exwuse me.. I'm gwonna gwo wake a n-.. Zzz.. Zz.."

Natsumi slurred as her eyes suddenly grew heavy that her entire body quickly shuts down and collapses onto the couch, falling asleep onto a cushion almost instantly after wearing herself out from arguing back and forth with a wall clock, which was obviously being voiced by Tomioka at the background earlier..

By the time everyone else was finally able to catch their breath, Sabito couldn't help but feel a bit bad for teasing Natsumi in her drunken state, if he had known Tamayo and Kanae's medicine had some Marechi mixed inside it, then maybe he would have thought about letting her sip the medicine rather than letting her drink it all in one go..

"How about we let her get some rest?" Mitsuri suggested, only to receive an affirmative nod coming from Iguro as he decides to help her out with getting Natsumi all tucked in for bed, on the couch

"Oh, well.. It was fun, while it lasted.." Sabito muttered as Iguro and Kanroji gave a couple of nods of agreement, only to slowly turn their gaze towards the slumbering Little Demon right beside them, if only Tomioka hadn't decided to speak up..

"We're seriously going to tell everyone else about this, aren't we?"

"Definitely.."
