The three had just begun walking but Mitsuri immediately wailed out,

"I have no more energy left to walk! Can we just eat something?"

Sanemi looked at Mitsuri.

"Of course....."

Mitsuri's eyes shined with happiness.

"...Not."
Sanemi finished.

"What!? But, Why?"
Asked Mitsuri.

"Didn't you say, 'We can rest at the Butterfly Mansion'? Then, why don't we eat at the Butterfly Mansion too?"

"Umm... I-I didn't say anything about eating though..."
Mitsuri said.

"There's no way we're stopping anywhere, Kanroji. You are the one who said that."
Sanemi told her.

"He isn't wrong."
Said Giyuu.

"But... I'm hungry! Please! I-I can't live without food, I WILL DIE!!!"
Mitsuri said in a worried tone.

She takes everything so seriously...

"Yeah, yeah! I was just kidding, Kanroji!"
Sanemi chuckled.

Giyuu looked at Sanemi and blushed slightly.

Mitsuri noticed him.

KYAAAAA, So cute!!!
She thought.

Giyuu looked away.

"Then, Let's go eat somewhere!"
Mitsuri said.

"Yeah!"

The three stopped nearby to eat.

Sanemi's crow flew towards the headquarters to inform the master.

"So they've completed the mission... They are really very strong, I'm glad they are alive!"
Oyakata-sama said in a calm tone.

Shinobu was waiting for them to get back, especially Giyuu.

"The fair is just four days away now, I wonder when he will get back..."
Shinobu spoke to herself.

What if... He refuses to come with me?
Shinobu's thoughts made her worry.

Sanemi, Giyuu and Mitsuri started walking again.

It was midday and the three still hadn't reached.

"How long?"
Asked Mitsuri.

"Have patience..."
Said Giyuu.

After a few hours, the three finally reached.

"Fucking finally!"
Sanemi let out a deep sigh.

The three went to the Demon Slayer Headquarters where Oyakata-sama was waiting for them.

"So you have finally arrived..."
He said.

"YES MASTER!"
Sanemi shouted.

"Yes Master!"
Mitsuri said.

"Yes Master..."
Giyuu said.

"I am very happy that you made it, please don't let anyone down. I know you all are capable of doing anything. You are very strong, so, please make sure to show the younger ones the right path, and protect all the innocent people from Demons. I wish you the best for the future!"
Oyakata-sama said calmly.

The three listened to their Master silently.

"And... With that, this meeting is dismissed."
Oyakata-sama said and the three left.

Sanemi and Giyuu went straight to their Estates while Mitsuri slowly made her way to Iguro's Estate.

"IGUROOOOOO-SANNNNN!!!"
She shouted, as if her vocal chords would burst.

"Mitsuri-San?"
Iguro turned back.

He saw Mitsuri come running towards him.

She hugged him tightly, very tightly.

"I missed you so much!"
She squealed.

"I-I missed you too..."
Iguro said, his face heating up.

Mitsuri let go of him.

"Do you know? I got you all something, Wait!"
She stopped immediately and had a terrified look on her face.

"Is... Something the matter?"
Asked Iguro.

"Iguro-San!!! I'm so stupid! I planned on getting all of you souvenirs but ended up not buying any.... I forgot!"
Mitsuri cried out.

"It's okay, Mitsuri-San. I'm just glad that you came back safe."

"What, Really!? KYAAAA IGURO-SAN!!!"
Mitsuri squealed, her face turned red.

"But, Iguro-San?"
She said in a questioning tone.

"Hmm?"
Iguro hummed back.

Mitsuri took a deep breath in and began,

"Even though I did not get you all souvenirs, I got you something else."
