Isao and Amane spent their time like newlyweds.
Two weeks might seem long, but the time moved so fast when they spent it together.
As expected, when there was a beginning, there was an ending, and after their two weeks of loving each other, a group of three came to the Tokyo station.
"That bastard! I will stab him when I meet him!"
"You can't do that. What will happen to me if you do that?"
"But Nee-sama..."
The girl looked at her older sister's belly with a helpless, anticipating, and loving gaze, then once again enraged by the act of that bastard!
The group of three consisted of three females that appeared like a group of sisters.
The oldest seemed excited, the middle sister seemed angry, and the youngest was quiet.
Yes, they were Kanae Kocho and Shinobu Kocho.
As for the last one, she was Kanao Tsuyuri, the youngest among them and the adoptive younger sister of Kanae and Shinobu.
This time, they came to Tokyo due to Isao's letter.
So many days had passed since Isao had finished with Amane, yet when everyone thought that Isao would give them a letter or something, he never gave them anything.
It was as if Isao and Amane had disappeared together.
Naturally, this also brought panic to the Demon Slayer Corps since the wife of their leader disappeared.
However, whether it was Kagaya or Kanae, they were all calm. While many asked why they could be so calm, the two would say that it was their instincts and beliefs that everything would be okay.
Moreover, after one week, a change happened in Kanae, and this change made Kagaya even calmer.
On the other hand, when everyone learned about the change in Kanae, they all cursed Isao, thinking that this guy was such a bastard!
Yet, due to this change, Kanae, who was a Hashira, decided to retire from her position and focus on being a doctor at Butterfly Manor.
Still, no one said anything, and everyone supported her in doing so since it would be the first time something like this had happened. All of them were careful and told Kanae to stop being in the Demon Slayer, considering how dangerous this job was.
However, it was impossible for Kanae to stop her job, and everything was still in the early stages. Still, with her current situation, she didn't fight anymore.
While everyone sighed in relief at Kanae's decision, there was no doubt that they were angry, not with Kanae but with the bastard who had left Kanae!
During those two weeks, even though Kagaya said that he was okay, he had been using his crows to search for Isao and Amane. He even used his connections, but unfortunately, nothing was found.
The rest of the Demon Slayer Corps also tried to search for them, but this country was huge.
Tokyo was the largest city in this country, and it was even more so.
There were no leads, and no one could find them.
However, frankly, even though his wife was important, his duty as the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps was more important, especially given the demons' heavy and aggressive attacks.
After Isao killed Doma, the demons' activity became more aggressive, and many people were killed. The members of the Demon Slayer Corps were even more so since many had lost their lives due to the demon.
With all of that, Kagaya didn't have any time to worry about his wife. Instead, he wanted Isao to join the Demon Slayer Corps so Isao could erase all the demons in this world.
Yes, the most important thing for Kagaya wasn't his wife or his family. Instead, it was his duty as the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps.
So, Kagaya had to use everything to get Isao to join his organization.
Fortunately, good news came from Kanae.
While the others were angry and felt complex about the cause of this change in Kanae, Kagaya was happy.
As expected, two weeks after Isao's disappearance, his letter arrived for the first time, telling Kanae to meet him, along with tickets, a time, and a place where they would meet.
There was no hesitation on Kanae, and she left directly along with Shinobu and Kanao.
While others wanted to follow through, Kagaya stopped them because he feared antagonizing Isao further. Their situation was critical after all, especially when one of the "Hashira" lost his life during the battle with the Upper-Rank Demon.
The Upper-Rank Demon was stronger than anyone thought, and one of the strongest among them died in the battle.
This fact startled all of them and also snapped their senses and stupid pride that they thought existed within them. They were all weak, and their opponents were strong. If they did nothing and just stayed arrogant with their powers, then they would die in the next battle.
On the other hand, the demons never stopped attacking. They attacked everyone and targeted the Demon Slayer Corps even further.
So, the trip of Kanae, Shinobu, and Kanao was something critical to the future of the Demon Slayer Corps.
"Kanae!"
Isao didn't know what was happening to the Demon Slayer Corps, nor did he pay attention to this organization. In his mind, all he had been thinking about was his two weeks of wife with 25 years old young wife, Amane Ubuyashiki, but that life was over now, and he knew that he had to get serious from now on, especially when he saw Kanae.
"Isao!"
Hearing his voice, Kanae didn't care about anything else and directly leaped to Isao, hugging him tightly and never letting him go.
"....."
Shinobu and Kanao didn't say anything, but their gazes toward Isao changed so many times.
Kanao aside as she hardly expressed her own opinions and kept everything by herself, Shinobu looked at her future brother-in-law and felt confused. Unlike before, his appearance had changed into a Western suit, giving him the image of a successful young noble.
Even if he just stood there and did nothing, everyone's eyes were attracted to him.
While Shinobu had to admit it, her older sister was lucky to meet Isao, but when she thought about what this bastard did to her older sister, she ground her teeth and came to him with loud steps.
"Kanao, come on."
Kanao nodded and followed Shinobu quietly.
Still, Isao didn't pay attention to them and looked at Kanae with a loving gaze. "I miss you."
"Me too!" Kanae felt her eyes wet from tears when she heard his words. While she tried to be calm and believed in him, she was worried about Isao and wondered whether he had endured everything by himself. After all, the life of the people wasn't easy, and to work for their family, he might endure something that she couldn't imagine.
However, she is now by his side and could be his support when he needs someone the most.
Watching how cute Kanae was, Isao kissed her directly, causing her to blush, but she didn't let him go.
"..."
Shinobu and Kanao, who were about to approach them, were stunned. They didn't expect Isao and Kanae to kiss each other in public!
Fortunately, Isao and Kanae didn't kiss for too long, and soon they parted their lips.
"Come on. Let's go."
Isao thought it was time for them to return to his house.
"Um." Kanae nodded and agreed.
Still, Isao then looked at Shinobu and Kanao, two of his little sisters-in-law. "It's been a while, Shinobu, Kanao." He patted their heads gently, causing two different reactions.
While Kanao was well-behaved and let him pat her head, Shinobu swatted his hand away. "Don't touch me, you beast!"
"..."
Isao was speechless, then ignored Shinobu, then took out a "Sakuma's Drops," a famous hard candy from Japan, flavored with fruit juice, packed in a tin can cap. "It's for you, Kanao. Take it."
"Just accept it, Kanao." Kanae smiled and felt happy by Isao's care toward her little sister.
"Um." Kanao nodded obediently.
"..." Shinobu.
"Put your luggage in the car."
"Car?"
"It's over there." Isao pointed at his car, which left the three stunned.
"..."
While there were some doubts, they followed obediently, then entered his car and drove them to his house.
"This is yours?" Shinobu asked in doubt when they entered.
"Yes." Isao nodded. "Let's talk later. You also have something to talk about with me, right? It's more comfortable when we arrive at our house later."
"Okay."
They nodded, afraid to distract him when Isao drove a car.
Still, even though Isao drove an antique car, their journey was smooth, and they arrived at his house.
"So, this is your house?" Kanae looked at Isao's house in wonder, curiosity, and amazement, as it was lovely.
"It's our house." Isao patted Kanae's head gently, causing her to blush shyly.
"...." Shinobu.
Shinobu wanted to say something, but she couldn't. Frankly, she wanted to express some dissatisfaction with Isao, but she couldn't, especially when she saw Isao's condition.
Not only was he handsome, strong, powerful, and also rich!
In the modern world, Isao would be like a handsome young CEO in a Korean drama; when Shinobu saw him standing by the side of the car, wearing a Western suit before for the first time, she would be lying if her heart hadn't skipped a beat.
Yet, when Shinobu thought about what Isao did to her older sister, no matter what, this guy was a bastard!
"I will get a bigger one again in the future," Isao said.
"This size is good enough. There is no need for you to buy more houses," Kanae hurriedly said.
"It's fine. It will be a good investment in the future."
"Well... if you say so..." Kanae didn't know much about the economy, and she could only trust him.
"Let's enter first."
"Okay."
While carrying their luggage, they entered his house, and Amane greeted them.
"Welcome back."
Like a good wife, Amane welcomed all of them.
"I am back." Isao nodded, but Kanae, Shinobu, and Kanao wondered why Amane was like a lady of the house. However, Amane was the wife of Kagaya, so it was impossible for anything to happen between Isao and Amane.
Still, after they entered the house, Shinobu couldn't control her emotions anymore. "Nee-san, you should tell him now."
"Shinobu!" Kanae hesitated. Even though she was excited about her change, she was worried about Isao's reaction since this change wasn't something that happened because they wished to. Instead, it was all an accident.
"What's wrong?" Isao asked curiously.
Still, Shinobu ignored Kanae and said directly, "Nee-san is pregnant!"
"..."
At that moment, everything turned quiet.
