" kasugaigarasu can you please send word for kocho to head to my house? and please report this to oyakata sama as well!"

he said to his crow who barely flew besides him, flapping its dark wings it responded flying high up into the sky.

she shouted so that kyojuro who sat outside could hear.

"I'm confused myself as well! the only person who has such an ability would be..."

"kibutsuji muzan"

"yes"

they both frowned upon the realization, a man who they had been hunting for centuries, a man who didn't even hesitate to bring down his wrath upon his own people.
