'I... can't pass any information now nor can I contact the other two. I have to get out... Now... To where... Tengen-sama is...' Makio thought.
"Someone's coming again. The 'Ogimoto House' is a meddlesome bunch," the pair of lips scoffed.
The obi tightened around Makio's figure causing her to grunt out in displeasure.
"If you make any noise, I'll crush your innards into smithereens!" The set of lips threatened.

'Weird. This feels weird. Is she in a bad situation now? I can't tell... That room... where 'Makio' is, feels disgustingly weird yet...' Inosuke trailed off in thought before running from behind the corner, and grasping the sliding door just to slam it open.
The room was a mess and destroyed.
Inosuke's eyes widened as he stared at the scene in front of him.
'There's wind... But the windows aren't open.' Inosuke thought before making eye contact with the ceiling. 'In the ceiling!! It's definitely a demon! It's the afternoon right now, so it must have fled upwards!' Inosuke picks up a bowl of food that once belonged to Makio.
"Hey, you! I know you're there!!" Inosuke shouts as he throws the bowl of food up at the ceiling.
The sound of something running was heard in the ceiling as whatever it was scattered out of the room, and down the hallway.
"You're not getting away!!" Inosuke hollered as he chased after the sound.
'Where's it going!? Where's it running to!? Is it moving from the ceiling to the walls? Alright, I'll punch the wall and drag it out! Here!' Inosuke pulls back a fist, just for another male to appear in front of him.
"Ohh! There's a cute girl over here!" The male says just to be punched in the face.
"KYAAAAAH!"
"SHE HIT HIIIIM...!!"
Inosuke gritted his teeth. 'Damn it! I messed up! It escaped downwards!!! It's there!! It's there!! No... There!! Dammit, it's hard to sense anything!!'
Inosuke breathed heavily as he tried to figure out where the demon was rushing off to.
"I lost sight of it! God dammit! Because everything got in the way...!!"

'I somehow lost sight of myself... I was supposed to look for Uzui-san's wife 'Hinatsuru'... but I can't do much about being really good at playing the shamisen and the koto. But like, what now? I've just been listening in the whole time, but there's nothing about Hinatsuru-san. I've heard about the Madam dying two days ago or something. So everyone's feeling gloomy. Nobody's talking.' Zenitsu thought, mentally sighing.
Zenitsu lifted his hands to his ears, trying to listen in to whatever was nearby.
Out of all the sounds that he heard, it was probably the sniffling and cries.
"A girl is crying! That's a big problem," Zenitsu told himself before heading in the direction of where he heard the crying.
He poked his head into a room and noticed that it was destroyed and messy.
A young girl sat in the middle of it, soft cries escaping from her lips.
"WHA... What happened to this room? It's all messed up!" Zenitsu exclaimed.
The young girl looked over at Zenitsu in surprise.
"UH, A F- A FIGHT!? DID YOU FIGHT!? YOU OKAY!?" Zenitsu asks loudly.
The girl went back to crying which caused Zenitsu to go to her side.
"Sorry! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to get ma... mad at you!! Sorry! If you're worried about something..." Zenitsu says as he tries to calm down the crying girl.
Zenitsu immediately froze when a terrifying feeling came over him.
A woman was glaring coldly straight down at him, which caused Zenitsu to break out into a sweat.
"What're you doing in someone else's room?" The woman rudely asked.
'It's the sound of a demon.' Zenitsu panicked as he gulped quietly. 'A demon is behind me right now. This isn't a human 'sound'. I didn't notice at all until it raised its voice. Does this even happen? On top of that... isn't this an Upper Moon demon? It's a terrible sound, but it's so quiet it actually frightens me.'
"Hey. Are you deaf over there?" The woman rudely asks once more.
"W... Warabihime-oiran... that was the girl who came in yesterday or the day before, so..."
"Huh? So what of it?" The woman questioned, glaring at the two young females who had appeared – who were now pale.
"We're sorry for just barging in! The room was a complete mess and a girl was crying..." Zenitsu immediately apologized.
"You're so unsightly. You're making me barf... Wouldn't the world be better off if you died? And what's with your head?! It's just pissing me off! True, the room is a total mess right now. And I told this girl here to clean it up."
"KYAAAH!" The young girl cried out as she was picked up by the ear harshly.
"Shut the hell up! Don't just scream! Clean the damn room!"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I will do it right away! Please forgive me...!!"
Zenitsu snatches the demon's wrist despite the fear he feels.
The woman looked at Zenitsu in annoyance. "What's this?"
"Get your hands off her!"

"Mmh..." A male's voice groaned out.
Akira shifted her attention to where she heard the groan and saw how (Y/n)'s body was shifting.
"(N/n)! (N/n)! Caw!!" Akira cawed out as she flew over in her favorite person's direction, and landed beside his hip.
"...Akira...?"
