"Saskia sama is right." Giyu replied. Tanjiro could catch a scent of anger coming from Tomioka,same coming from Shinobu,even if both didn't show it. "The Corps are part of Utopia's defense force,much like the Kingsglaive and anyone else. Some representatives should be allowed on this investigation."

"Awesome! I would like to see what Megumi can do!" Gojo replied cheerfully. "Go get them Tiger!" Megumi rolled his eyes in annoyence only to receive a crystal on his left shoulder.
"Hey what gives?!" He shouts,facing the responsible behind him. A blond haired young man with a scar on his face. He was smirking.
"Seifer! That's enough!" Rinoa shouts.

"What? I just wanted to wake spiky brat over here!" Seifer Almasy replied with a smirk.

Unknown forest area,Utopia/Singapore

Mist hashira Muichiro Tokito looked around the dark forest. He was sent along with Kinoe rank demon slayer Genya Shinazegawa to investigate the area.

Many demon slayers and even some members of the Kingsglaive have vanished. Many thought demons were responsible.

"Sure is peaceful here..." Muichiro said to himself. "Don't keep your guard down,will you?" Genya spat.

Sung looked at the newcomers as they arrived and heard from Beru about the creature that was outside of the room. It seemed like he was unable to see. He only attacked anything that made a sound. Taking this into consideration he moved to the others and made them follow him to the back of the room.

“Speak quietly.” sung said in a hushed tone as he looked to the door. “Beru will keep him from entering the room. I just need all of you to not tell anyone of what you see me do here. I can't be found out just yet.” He said looking over to the young lady, as well as her companion dressed in yellow. Hoping they would understand without him getting too in-depth with what was happening.



Fate saw the creature that pounced at him and was able to dodge the attack by jumping backwards. Though as he looked at the creature in the darkness that surrounded him, it was nothing like anything that he had encountered in his time here. It seemed more powerful, and that worried him a bit. Especially since he didn't have Greed with him, and he was relying on his other skills.

He only had so many spells he could use, and he doubted his mastery of these spells would be of any help against a creature like this. None the less he readied his fire spell and let the fire ball shoot towards the creature.


A man dressed in red was leaning against a wall just behind Fate. He appeared there right after the creature attacked Fate. He had no reason to help, but he knew what “He” would do in his place. The man in red wouldn’t even be involved in the affairs of what was happening here if it weren't for the fact that the one, he loved was being used against him. He would rather be sitting back and watching them fight and destroy one another.

For now, he would only watch. He needed to be careful in what he did. He would never forgive himself if anything happened to ‘Him’.

Reaching up, Pyo plucked a leaf from the tree and looked at it. He was more interested in the leaf than the two he was fighting. They each spoke about how he was an enemy that was not welcome in this city. However, before he said anything more, he sensed another presence up in the tree with him, and he lowered the leaf to look at the new arrival.

He looked much like the others, but he seemed to be a bit calmer, and collected. As the three men's spoke Pyo kept to himself until the man spoke to him once more asking him his business, as well as telling him as long as he is cooperative, he could be talking to someone who might be of some use. Clicking his tongue, he sat up looking at the man.

“I was sent to do some negotiations with this country. I will only speak with Wright on what the negotiations are about. As for those two. They started it, and I found them quite boring to play with. I could have taken their heads if I wanted to, but that goes against why I was sent here. So, I will behave, but you better keep your end of the bargain.”

Once the meeting was done and the party went to their accommodations for the night. Ignus went into the same room as Noctis. The monster nodded his head to the King he was assigned to watch over while his Monarch was away. His form dissolved and disappeared into Noctis’ shadow. Where he would stay until he was needed or summoned by his Monarch.

The scents of annoyance and frustration only intensified around Keira, but she was quick to 'read the room' as it were. The looks on the two Hashira's faces and Lord Tomioka’s insistence made it clear enough that they were none too pleased with the perceived questioning of their honor.

That certainly wasn’t Keira’s intention. The Demon Slayer Corps were honorable to a fault. And even if they weren’t, Keira would never be stupid enough to antagonize a trusted and prominent military arm in front of the king. But there was no sense arguing the point any further, so she just slightly lifted her hands in surrender.

"And were it solely up to me personally, of course they would be." Keira said. “But as a royal advisor, I’d much rather you learn all this from me than from some Taskforce toady looking for any little excuse to sabotage your efforts. Still, as I said, the final decision rests with His Majesty alone.”

Keira left it at that for now. She had said enough to save her own neck if anything went wrong; the rest was entirely up to them. And if Lord Tomioka was still upset, then perhaps she might be able to cheer him up later tonight, but this was neither the time nor the place.

But Saskia did not keep silent for long.

”King Noctis, if I may…” Saskia piped up. “I don’t believe I ever caught Lady Keira’s last name.”

With those words, a new array of scents exploded in the air for Tanjiro to pick up on. Saskia’s scent of suspicion grew stronger, but now she emanated an anger that mingled with that of Giyu and Shinobu, as well as a slightly more protective scent. Keira’s scent of annoyance was gone in an instant, replaced with scents of surprise and concern.

Nezuko snarled slightly at Sung, starting to bare her teeth as she attempted to move defensively in front of Edgeworth and Zenitsu. But Edgeworth briefly rested one hand on her shoulder to signal her to stop, the other hand resting on Zenitsu’s shoulder to try to reassure the frightened young man.

”It’s alright.” Edgeworth said quietly to them both. “He works for a friend of mine. He’s here to help.”

Nezuko’s hostility instantly dropped, and she tilted her head at Sung.

”Friend? Help?”

The creature let out a hissing shriek as the fire spell made contact. It teleported to evade the spell, but not before the spell managed to singe the monster’s arms. Now enraged, the monster reappeared again and charged at Fate, this time from behind, as three animal/human hybrids appeared and attacked Fate as well.

As Genya and Muichiro ventured deeper into the woods, they would eventually encounter hundreds of severed ears in various stages of decay hanging from some of the tree branches. Closer to the shoreline, however, there was the much more gruesome sight of blood-soaked tree trunks, with their branches cut off and their trunks sharpened to a perfect point. Nichirin swords of various colors had been stabbed into each of the bloody trunks, or into the ground in front of them. The burnt remnants of black and white cloth lay scattered around the bloody trunks, some bits of which would form parts of the emblem of the Demon Slayer Corps when reassembled.

“Ladies preserve us!” A female voice whispered.

Nearby, a petite Asian woman walked past the severed ears with barely a glance, but stared in horror at the bloody tree trunks and Nichirin swords. The only clothing she had on was an oversized white T-shirt that was barely long enough to be considered decent. Her bare feet were covered in mud and grass, and a freshly-picked wisteria flower was woven into her long black hair.

"Well...Mr Wright is not here at the moment..." Tengen replied. " He's on a...buisness trip with the king. He might come back in a day or two. In the meantime, I can take you to the master." He added. "He might give you something to do in the meantime." "Seriously!" Sanemi spat.

The diiferent scents were overwhrlming to Tanjiro. He could only stay quietand watch the conversation.
Ignis nodded to Saskia. Tanjiro could catch a scent of mistrust coming from him as well. The king seemed to trust Ignis more then Keira.
"Oh,right,you haven't told us your last name!" Noctis said to Keira.

Zenitsu didn't seem to trust Sung at first as Nezuko growled st him,but Edgeworth reasured them that he was an ally. I guess he had to trust him too.
"Muscle..."
He heard a small whisper near him. Zenitsu looked down. Two of Tengen Uzui's muscle mice were here,carrying Zenitsu's shelthed Nichirin blade.
"What are they doing here?" He whispered. No more questions. At least they brought him his sword,which he took and tied to his belt.

"What happened here?!" Genya shouts as he looked at the disgusting spectacle in the forest.
"That's sad..." Muichiro replied. "You don't care at all for the dead?!" Genya barked. "And you're suppose to be a hashira?!!"
"I do care if you must know!" Muichiro surpringly angerly. Genya could see some tears coming from the young Mist hashira's eyes.
"Don't hide the fact that you got your memories back." Genya told Muichiro.
"Right. I'm sorry. " Muichiro replied. He noticed the young woman nearby.
"We got company." Genya noticed the young woman. " Hey! What are you doing here? This place is dangerous for civilians!"

Now there were also hints of disbelief and annoyance on Keira’s part in addition to the other scents, though she kept it well-concealed. She was simply doing her job, and now they were interrogating her for it? As if that disaster of a meeting wasn’t humiliating enough!

”De Tansarville. Keira de Tansarville.” Keira said, not skipping a beat. “What of it?”

”De Tansarville…” Saskia echoed under her breath. Her scent of suspicion only grew stronger, but she said nothing further.

The woman jumped and cried out in surprise when someone called out to her, but she calmed down just as quickly when she saw two demon slayers in the clearing, and especially upon recognizing each of them individually. As the elite among one of Utopia’s most prominent militias, the Hashira and their families were famous all throughout Utopia, and even in Singapore as a whole to a certain extent.

”Lord Tokito, Lord Shinazegawa…” The flustered woman said, bowing politely and pulling the hem of her shirt further down in embarrassment.

“The Ladies who rule these woods sent me to find two champions who were passing through here. You must be the ones they meant.” She straightened back up again. “The Ladies know you’re looking for the demons who are hurting their forest. They said to tell each of you to take one of the ears from the trees, so they can guide you to the demons’ hiding place.”

Not taking the defensive act of the young lady, nor the other child seriously. Sung just stood there looking at the two as Edgeworth calmed them both down. The young lady asked if he was a friend, and if he was going to help. A smile formed on his face as he approached her and crouched down on his haunches.

“I am a friend, and I will help as much as I can. Though I still need to keep my cover. Though I will leave someone to help when I have to go.” Sung said in a soft tone just as he heard a familiar sound by his side. He looked down and saw that his little helpers had found him something of interest. They also brought the child his weapon.

“They are helping me.” Sung said as he took the paper the Mice had brought him. “A man named Uzui let me bring a couple of them with me to help my shadows in reconnaissance.” He said in a low tone as he read the document. His smile left his face as he continued to read. This was not good. He stood up and said one word.

“Inventory.” A screen appeared before him as he pushed the paper into the screen it would seem to the others that it disappeared into thin air. He also pulled out some food he had placed into the inventory before he left Utopia.

“Here, eat this.” Sung whispered as he handed out the sandwiches.



Fate

Cursing under his breath as the creature disappeared before the spell could kill it. He didn’t expect that this creature would be tougher to kill than the small fry he had come across earlier. The creature charged at him; he was barely able to dodge the attack by rolling to the right. The other creatures had appeared and surprised him; he was able to protect himself from the attack with his arms.

The power behind the attack sent him flying against the wall. He hit it hard, but he didn’t let himself fall to his knees. He stayed standing. He knew if he fell, he wouldn't be able to survive. Concentrating on dodging the attacks. Yet out of the corner of his eye he saw someone in red. Then that figure in red threw something at him. Out of instinct he grabbed the object only to see that it was a black sword.

Once the sword was in his hands the blade spoke, and Fate smiled. The sword was Greed. He quickly used the blade to kill the two minions, and then charged at the creature trying to slice its head off.



The man dressed in red smirked as Fate caught the blade and began to use it to slaughter the two weaker creatures. As for him he still leaned against the wall watching the scene play out in front of him. He hoped to use this man to help him possibly get ‘him’ out of the Task Forces hands. If he could then maybe they would be able to get out of here. He didn’t want anything more than to live in peace with Xie Lian.

Shaking his head as he stood up from his sitting position. He would have never expected that Wright would leave the safety of this city. This would complicate his mission, and he didn’t like that. Yet at the moment he had no choice but to play along at the moment.

“I don’t know what Wright has to do. I do hope he returns soon. I don’t have time to play around much.” Pyo said as he looked down at the two as they seemed pissed that this man stopped them from attacking him. Nodding his head at the two he returned his attention to Tengen. “I will meet with your Master. I will decide what I will do from there.” Pyo said, looking at the man waiting for him to lead the way.

"I knew these mice were Uzui's." Zenitsu replied as he looked at his sword."And what do you mean your shadows?" He stopped ehen Sung handed him a sandwich. "Thanks...I was really hungry." Zenitsu replied as he took the sandwich. He started to eat it.

Both Muichiro and Genya listened to the young woman. Who were those ladies she was working for? And why would they need to use the ears? Before Muichiro could respond...

"I'll do it." Genya replied first. He rips one of the ears from one of the trees. " How does it work?"

”Not that I can recall.” Keira said. Despite the flippant tone in her response, she was now giving off a much stronger scent of anxiety.

”I don’t believe we’ve ever met, and I don’t know any Keira de Tansarville…” Saskia said, not entirely sure if she should keep going. But Lady Kocho had opened up this chance, and Saskia owed it to her at least to see it through before it was too late.

”But strangely enough, I do recognize your first and last names individually, and both from the exact same source.” Saskia said, more confidently now. “Lord Tomioka, Lady Kocho… do you recall that I said Philippa Eilhart and I hail from the same world?”

Once they each confirmed as much, Saskia continued.

“Philippa was the leader of the Lodge of Sorceresses: a coven comprised of ten of the most influential sorceresses in the Northern Kingdoms. Other members of the Lodge included both Keira Metz and Sheala de Tansarville.”

“A coincidence, nothing more. I know nothing about this Lodge.” Keira snapped. There was a very palpable fear in her scent, while Saskia’s scent simmered with fury.

”The Lodge schemed and conspired against all who stood in their way. Their hands are soaked in the blood of kings and honest men.” Saskia could barely keep her voice under control. “How dare you of all people insult the honor of the Corps?”

”I’ve done nothing of the sort!” Keira finally snapped, rage exploding in her scent. “I’m trying to keep you all out of the Taskforce’s dungeons and avoid an international incident, and you respond with these baseless accusations that you know you can’t possibly prove? You’re mad!”

The creature did not fail to notice someone else nearby. The man in red was looking at him now, and had just foolishly discarded his only weapon, or so he thought.

As the creature turned, about to attack the man in red, Fate had just enough time to close the gap and behead the monster. The shadowy being let out one last rattling breath as its body fell, dissolving into a black mist cloud before it could even hit the ground. Even the slightest touch of this cloud would damage anything or anyone that it came into contact with.

“Careful with that, young man!” Chided a new female voice that only Genya could hear. This voice was much higher-pitched, sounding like a cartoonish imitation of an old witch or a cutesy grandma.

”The untamed forest is a cruel and dangerous place. The humans need our care, our protection.” Another female voice said, also only audible to Genya. This voice was thick and deep, with a hollow quality that sounded almost like she was speaking underwater.

”They survive with our help, and we ask but a single ear in return. Through these ears, we hear all.” Said a third and final female voice, also only audible to Genya. This voice was thin as cobwebs, and barely louder than a whisper.

Sure enough, if one were to take a closer look at the woman in the t-shirt, hidden beneath her hair was a scarred crevice where her left ear should be.

”And now, brave heroes, we share this gift with you.” Cartoon Grandma said.

”The Whispess, the eldest of the Ladies, uses these ears to hear everything in the forest.” The woman in the t-shirt explained, clearly not hearing a word the new voices had said. “Oh, I forgot one thing! You’ll have to put them back before you leave the forest. If you don’t, the Ladies will want your ear as a replacement.”

"I do remember you mentioning that fact..." Giyu replied to Saskia. Noctis,Ignis,Giyu,Shinobuand Tanjiro listened to Saskia's explainations.
Tanjiro could catch Keira's scents of fear and fury.
"Calm down will you?" Noctis said to Keira.
"If you wsnt my honest opinion about all this, I see no harm in bringing members of the Corps to the Taskforce's facility. They are part of Utopia's defense force and the Taskforce knows it. Plus if members of the Cotps are present,the Taskforce won't dare to bring harm to the two Corps members they are holding prisoners. " Noctis explained.

"The king has a good point." Ignis replied.

Genya listened to the three old woman's voices through the ear.
"Seriously,they surender one of their ears to you?" Genya spat.

"What a barbaric way..." Muichiro replied as he listened to Genya.

"How about when we're done,we'll give you many demon ears?" Genya asked." Though I'll return that ear.

"Let's get going and find those demons." Muichiro said. Both he and Genya started off.

The moment King Noctis spoke, it was all over. The king was in favor of the Corps’ involvement, and everyone else was in complete agreement. Every scent coming from Keira instantly disappeared, and she bowed her head deferentially to the king.

”As you wish, Your Majesty.” Keira said, her formal and professional composure returning in full force.

The drive continued without further incident. As the Utopian delegation arrived at the hotel within the airport, Wright somewhat quickly said his goodbyes before retreating to his hotel room to start packing. Keira promptly did so as well, but was not in nearly as much of a rush to come back out.

”Barbaric? How rude.” Underwater Lady huffed. But without an ear of his own, Muichiro would not have been able to hear it.

”But the ears of many demons, you say?” Cartoon Grandma said curiously. “How intriguing… we’ve not tried using demons’ ears before.”

”Enough, sisters. We’ve work to do.” Cobwebs said sharply. “Travel north, young heroes, and look for a cave ‘neath the edge of the sea. ‘Twas dug by the demons to hide from the sun.”

“Oooh, those dreadful demons, filling our woods with screams by day!” Cartoon Grandma seethed. “And by night, they defile our beautiful trees with the blood of your kin!”

Fate had succeeded in cutting down the monster. As a portion of his hunger subsided with the death of all three creatures. A strange black mist was left in the wake of the creature's demise. He didn’t know what this was. However, he knew better than to try and touch something that he didn’t know what it was.

Walking around the mist he approached the man in red who didn’t move from his spot on the wall. Fate didn’t know who he was, but he returned Greed to him, so he didn’t seem to be a bad person. Yet the way he felt to him he seemed more like a monster than a human. So, he was a little cautious when approaching.

“Thanks for returning my sword, but Who are you?”

The man in red only smirked at the young warrior as he approached. He may have helped him, but only because he could use him in the future. The boy being cautious is a good sign.

“My name is of little importance. Take care of that sword. If you don't, he just might end up in my collection again.” The man said as he moved away from the wall. Taking a couple of steps towards Fate.

“As for why I returned your sword. Maybe you will find out in the future. Until the time is right, let's just say you owe me. As for your destination. You might find some people of interest in that direction.” The man said, pointing to the direction he was now walking. Then suddenly his form burst open, and hundreds of silver butterflies now took to the different tunnels. Yet one of the creatures landed on Fates shoulder.

Staring in amazement at what just happened he didn’t know if he was lucky, or not. All he knew was the man helped, and he just might have to do him that favor in the future. Until that time, he was going to continue to trust the man and began to walk down the hall in the direction he was pointed. Not paying much mind to the butterfly on his shoulder.

Pyo just walked behind the sound Hashira as he led the way to his superior. Making mental notes of everything he was passing to get a better layout of the place he was visiting. It reminded him of his past, and it made him a little angry, but it was important to know how to get in and out of places like this. He may be on a diplomatic mission, but he is not one to be caught off guard.

"At last,I'm so tired!" Noctis said as the group arrived at the hotel. Noctis and Ignis went back to their suite while Giyu,Shinobu and Tanjiro headed back to their two bedroom suite. That's right,Ignis got the three Demon Slayers a two bedroom suite. Shinobu and Giyu shared a bedroom with two beds,much to Giyu relief while Tanjiro had the single king bed room all to himself.

The top half of the young man's face was covered in some kind of infection and his eyes were white,showing that he was blind.

Tengen kneed before him.

"Welcome back Tengen." The young man said with a calm tone and a warm smile. " Is there something I can do for you?" He asked. " It seems you brought a guest."

"Yeah,a messanger from the resistance wants to speak with Wright but he's not here yet." Tengen explained.

The utterly dumbfounded Edgeworth recoiled a bit at the sight of the two Muscle Mice. Two bipedal mice strong enough to lift a katana, both with a fondness for flexing their abnormally large muscles… wonders truly never ceased in this new world. But the mice seemed nice enough, and Zenitsu even recognized them and their rightful master as allies, so Edgeworth relaxed on that note. And now that Zenitsu had his weapon back, they would be better prepared for whatever would lie ahead.

But the Muscle Mice had also delivered a piece of paper, and Edgeworth did not like Sung’s reaction to it one bit. Sung promptly filed it away in this ‘inventory’ of his, from which he procured sandwiches for each of them.

”Is something wrong?” Edgeworth asked Sung as he started to eat his own sandwich. Then one other thought occurred to him, and he paused.

”This inventory… how does it work exactly?” Edgeworth asked next. “Do you have anything to write with, for instance?”

Meanwhile Nezuko stared slightly perplexed at her sandwich. If she were still human she could eat it easily, but would that still be possible in her current condition? And how might it affect her if she tried? Curiosity, and a strong desire to reclaim her humanity, finally prevailed, so she took a bite. It tasted awful and didn’t seem to replenish her energy much, but that must have just been her inhuman physiology talking. Convinced of that, Nezuko put the taste out of her mind and continued eating until she was finished. To eat like a human again, to triumph over her condition even in that one small way, felt so good that soon she didn’t even mind the taste all that much. Only time would tell if this was a wise decision, but for now she could enjoy this small victory.

As the two demon slayers neared the cave the Ladies spoke of, various voices could be heard coming from the cave, most of them male. Genya would have heard them first through the severed ear, but Muichiro would soon hear it as well once they drew near the mouth of the cave.

”Let’s see your so-called Fancy Breathing heal THIS!”

There was an adult male scream and a sickening tearing noise, like flesh and bone being torn apart.

”Now tell us where your little hideout is, or the other arm is next!”

”You don’t know what you’re doing! Your master’s not a god, he’s - AACK!”

”Shut it, heathen! Talk that way again, and I just might take your tongue instead!”

"So...it's good right?" Zenitsu asked Nezuko. It might have been the first time ever since she became a demon that she tasted human food,right? He could hear sounds of disgust and determination. Nezuko wanted to be human again. He wanted to help her achieve that goal.

The two Demon Slayer quietly made they way inside the cave.

"If we don't do something,many lives will be lost." Genya replied.

He focused and drew his Ninchirn sword.

As the megascope class was concluded and the students started to leave, Margarita suddenly felt a familiar mental pull. She looked a bit surprised at first, but she quickly covered it up and pulled herself together, excusing herself to her office.

One of the combat magic instructors did not fail to notice this, and watched Rita’s departure in secret.

After showering and getting into a fresh change of clothes, Keira cast a protection spell over her room to ensure she was undisturbed, then unpacked her megascope and set it up in a small space. Once everything was precisely in place, she stood in front of the megascope and waved her hands over the crystals.

"Nadovessiveg."

A bluish green light circled her and the megascope as she concentrated, becoming like illusionary flames emanating from the floor. Seconds later, Philippa Eilhart appeared amidst the hazy lights.

"Keira. You're looking well." Philippa said politely. "Found yourself a place in the Utopian royal court, have you?"

"Ugh, don't even start." Keira groaned. "Today was a bloody disaster. Utopia is on the verge of political suicide, I'm the only one in this entire delegation who gives a damn, and now they all hate me for it!”

By the time Genya and Muichiro entered the cave, two sentries wearing studded leather armor had noticed a new scent approaching. Both sentries readied their weapons, but did not see Muichiro coming until he was already on them. Between the two low-level lookouts and the elite Mist Hashira, it was no contest, and both of the former were sliced to bits in seconds.

But the second sentry had left a surprise behind, in the form of a bomb that dropped out of his hands as he started to dissolve. The bomb went off while Muichiro was retreating, causing an explosion that sent shockwaves throughout the cave, and unleashing a wave of metallic blue shrapnel in every direction.

“What the fuck was that?!” One male voice cried out from deeper in the cave.

“They found us! To arms!” Exclaimed another.

Now several more demons approached, all wearing similar designs of studded leather armor. Multiple bombs just like the first were thrown ahead of them, all with the same metallic blue shrapnel in their wake. The multiple shockwaves soon caused the cave entrance to collapse, trapping everyone in the cave at least for now, but still the bombs kept coming.

Noctis was laying on one of the beds while Ignis was watching TV.
"Man,that was a tough day..." Noctis said to himself. "Politics are no easy tasks but they are part of your duty as king." Ignis replied.
"Yeah,I know that...man,all this is making me hungry." Noctis said. "Maybe we should get room service." "No need to call I shall get the food from the retaurant myself." Ignis said as he got up.
"Iggy,that's not now room service works!" Noctis replied.
"I'm the King's royal advisor and cook. I'm sure they can make an exeption." Ignis added before to leave the room,closing the door behind him.

Muichiro and Genya looked shocked as the demon threw bombs toward them. Without thinking,Genya pushed Muichiro put of the way and getting hit by the bombs and the shrapnel coming from them.
Muichiro recovered and looked around. They were now trapped and Genya was injured. Muichiro wanted to help him but Genya insisted that he stays where he was.

Sung was surprised at both Zenitsu and Miles as each of them paid attention to different things. They each asked questions and he should have kept his mouth shut, but he didn’t think telling them the truth would hurt.

“Well, what I meant by my shadows is just that. Here I will at least show you what I mean. Hey Greed.” sung as something came out of his shadow behind him. It looked human with a bulky build, but his face was covered in a skull mask.

“Why are you revealing us to these people?” Greed said but in a language that no one but Sung would be able to understand.

“Don’t worry about it.” Sung replied as the two would be able to understand him. “This is just one of my shadows.” Sung said, pointing to Greed. He then looked to Miles who asked about the letter. “As for the letter. It was giving me information on some of the people of this prison, and the location of a couple of people that I will need to find later.” There was mort to it, but he didn’t want to worry Miles over it.

“Have you ever played a video game?” Sung asked miles as he didn’t wait for an answer. “It is kind of like that. I can keep all kinds of things in my inventory. I also have paper, and something you can use to write with.” Sung said as he then looked at Greed. “Go and see if Beru needs any help.”



Fate didn’t pay much attention to the mist as it followed him. He figured that it was probably not a good thing to ignore, but he had no skills that would work on it. So as long as it kept its distance he would just ignore it.

Then a pillar fell right behind him, and the sound was defining. So, he didn’t hear the roar off in the distance, but he did hear the heavy footsteps that were closing in on his position. He decided that it might be best to make a run for it. Something told him he didn’t want to face whatever was coming his way.

Once they reached the residence of the person that was the leader of the Harasha. Keeping the distance between him and his guide. He entered the house, and followed him into the court yard where the young master was with his wife. Observing that it seemed the man was blind, and not in a natural sense. It made him wonder about him, but he would never ask.

This man was not anything to him so he didn’t show any curtacies. Well he was an assassin, so there was no such thing in his world. He looked at the man as was speaking to his subordinate. Pyo did wait for the conversation to end before saying anything.

“Some of your subordinates need to learn to watch their tempers.”

As their conversation continued, Keira and Philippa eventually saw as Margarita also joined their conversation.

"Rita!" Keira smiled fondly. "Good; we're all here."

"Greetings, Keira... Philippa?" Margarita smiled back to Keira, but then let out a hushed gasp of surprise when she saw Philippa.

"Hello Rita." Philippa nodded to Margarita. "Keira tells me you have a new teaching job at Utopia's resident school of magic. Congratulations."

"Thank you, but-." Margarita said, still a bit flustered. "Forgive me. I'd all but given up hope on finding anyone else from the Lodge in this new world. Until now it was only me and Keira."

"Believe me; I was surprised too." Keira said. "But what I don't understand, Phil, is why are you working for the Taskforce of all things?"

"The Taskforce?" Margarita's brow furrowed in confusion. "That is odd, especially for you, Philippa. The Lodge was created to protect the interests of magic, and the Taskforce stands in direct opposition to those interests."

"Not for long, I assure you." Philippa said. "But more to the point, the Taskforce is facing a political crisis of its own. The Resistance's latest campaign has caused public opinion of the Taskforce to decline, both at home and abroad. The Pact of 120 is desperate to salvage the Taskforce's damaged reputation. It was the perfect opportunity to gain the ears of 120 heads of state all at once, so I took it."

"There he is!"

The remaining demons in the cave all closed in on Genya. Two of them moved to seize Genya, one attempting to put a pair of metallic blue shackles on his wrists. The others all kept their swords trained on Genya, their razor-sharp teeth bared.

All except for the apparent leader of the group: a bald, mustached man with a scar running straight down the side of his face.

"Well isn't this nice?" The leader crooned. "Normally we who serve the Eternal Fire have to hunt down you heathen scum every night, but now dear old You-Buy-Ash-Key decided to hand you over for free."

"It's UBUYASHIKI, you moron! Lord UBUYASHIKI!" A female voice said angrily from deeper within the cave, her voice still raspy from screaming.

"It's another go on the rack for you if you don't shut your mouth, witch!" Snapped one of the demons further in the back.

"Shut it, all of you!" The leader ordered. He was scowling now, his small blue eyes narrowing into slits as he examined the scene before him. He removed his gloves to reveal blackened claws for fingernails, and started to approach Genya as well.

"This was too easy..." The leader stabbed into each of his palms with one of his claws, just enough to draw blood, and extended his arms in front of him.

"Blood Demon Art..."

At the last possible second, the leader walked past Genya and focused instead on the blocked cave entrance.

"Flames of Grace and Mercy!"

Twin cones of fire spewed forth from the stab wounds in his palms, completely blanketing everything in their path with flames. The leader moved the cones of fire in slow, methodical sweeps throughout the cave entrance, listening carefully for any cries of pain, and keeping a close eye out for anything that moved to avoid the flames.

Edgeworth nodded a silent greeting to Greed as the latter began speaking with Sung. Meanwhile the creature outside had roared again and started running off somewhere, so Edgeworth let himself relax a bit more for now.

"I see." Edgeworth said with regard to the letter. He did not comment further on it, as Sung seemed to want to keep the precise details secret for the time being.

But when Sung explained the inventory and confirmed that he did indeed have paper and writing implements, Edgeworth braced himself.

"The Taskforce may try to turn your efforts against Wright, Uzui, and whoever else is helping you. But there may be a way to prevent that." Edgeworth told Sung. "May I?"

Zenitsu looked scared as he noticed Greed. "AHHHHHHH!!!! A GHOST!" He hides behind Nezuko. He shakes like a leaf,but quickly stops as he notices that Greed was talking with Sung. " Wait a minute? That guy is friendly?" He asked. He also heard Edgeworth talk about a way to prevent the Taskforce to stop Uzui and this guy named Wright's efforts. "What do you have in mind?" Zenitsu asked.

Menge's plan worked, forcing Muichiro out of hiding. The cones of fire disappeared as Menge readied his sword once again, but before Menge could even think to gloat, Muichiro countered by circling around Menge at varying speeds. Just when Menge thought he had a clear shot at Muichiro, the young Hashira suddenly vanished before any sword or flame could even graze him. With each failed attack, Menge grew more and more frustrated, and even ended up on the defensive more than once... and where in the name of the Eternal Fire was all this blasted mist coming from?!

"Whoreson's casting a spell!" Gasped one of the guards holding Genya.

"But how?!" The other guard holding Genya panicked. "The dimeritium should've blocked his magic!" He lifted his sword to run Genya through, but the leader's voice interrupted him, taking his attention off of Genya for a split-second.

"Not HIM, you halfwits!" The leader roared between grunts. "There's another one in the mist! Get your arses in here and stop her!"

The other demons swiftly obeyed and charged into the mist, each attempting to strike at Muichiro on sight.

But the more demons charged in after Muichiro, the fewer of them were left behind to restrain Genya, and soon it was down to Genya and just the two demons holding him in place.

Sung looked at Edgeworth with curiosity. He didn’t know what the man was up to, but he seemed to have a good head on his shoulders and a plan to get things done. He just nodded his head as he opened his inventory again. Reaching into the invisible screen and pulling out some paper and a pen. He then handed the implements to Miles.

“I really don’t care what they think, but I don’t want this coming back on Wright. So, do what you need to do.” Sung said as he looked at the child that had screamed a moment ago. He was a little disappointed in the reaction. Was this child just a scaredy cat, or was there something more about him? He had heard that he was a skilled fighter, but only when he was asleep. Could this be something psychological, or was he just pretending?

“You wanted to know what I meant. Don’t get scared over something that has no interest in you. They are my subordinates, and they will not attack you.”


Fate continued down the path that he thought would lead away from the thundering noise. However, that was not the case. The creature found him easily, and he had to take a step back at the sheer size of the creature. Granted he has fought things bigger, but something about this creature just made him on edge.

Holding greed in front of him he changed the sword's form into a bow. He was going to snipe at the creature from a distance. Brining the bow into position he took aim. Pulling back the string an arrow of energy formed in the place of an arrow. He let the arrow fly. He was aiming to hit the creature in the chest.

Shaking his head at the response, Pyo just stood there without saying a word at first. This man was as calm as he was and didn’t let his emotions get the better of him. This was a good thing. He might have something in common with this man. Only time would tell the truth.

“My Name is Pyo, and I can understand their thoughts. However, they need to choose their battles more carefully. If I had decided to, they both would have lost their heads. Though, none of the people here are my enemies. So, I wouldn't kill them unless they pushed it. I am only in my position because I want to kill everyone that is associated with the Taskforce. They interrupted my peace. If not for that I wouldn’t be in this fight.” Pyo said a little out of character. Though he thought this man might understand him. Even if it would just be a little. He wanted to show them he was not here to cause any trouble.

"The Taskforce are, on the same level as Muzan Kibutsuji and his demons." Kagaya replied. " They are holding two of my children hostages. Every member of the Corps ,human or not,are like my children." He added. "Rest assured Pyo. I know you mean well. If you want,until Wright San has returned you can become an honorary member of the Corps."

Megascope Conversation

The three sorceresses continued their conversation undisturbed, at least for now.

"Now then, to the matter at hand." Philippa said. "Keira, you described Utopia as being 'on the verge of political suicide'. Would you care to elaborate?"

“Rita, you weren’t there, so I’ll explain.” Keira began. “A meeting was just held between us and the 120, and our inexperienced king made a complete fool of himself. Openly denouncing the 120 as an ‘evil empire’, bowing his head to those clearly lower in rank than himself, letting children storm in and interrupt the proceedings… and now he’s personally approved the direct involvement of the Demon Slayer Corps in Utopia’s formal investigation into the Taskforce’s conduct.”

“Any such participation by the Corps would severely compromise your investigation.” Philippa replied. “Two Corps members are currently being detained by the Taskforce. That fact alone constitutes a conflict of interest on the Corps’ part.”

“I know, I know!” Keira threw up her arms in exasperation. “I tried to warn them, but not one of them would listen to me. They all insist that the Corps’ role in the Utopian military means they have a right to be involved, conflicts of interest be damned. In fact, the king is convinced that the involvement of the Corps would somehow deter the Taskforce from harming the two detainees.”

“As if their status in Utopia holds any meaning whatsoever outside of Singapore." Philippa scoffed, shaking her head. "There will be no escaping the sheer magnitude of the scandal this will cause. Keira, leave those incompetent fools to their fate, but don't let yourself be dragged down with them. Do whatever you must to distance yourself from this investigation."

"That'll be simple enough." Keira said. "I've already been all but forced out of the whole affair anyway."

"But surely there must be a way to prevent all of this!" Margarita spoke up. "The Corps are demon slayers, not politicians. And Noctis needs only a bit more experience to become the king Utopia needs. They may not fully understand the current situation, but they're all still honorable sorts, beloved by the people and rightly so. They don't deserve whatever punishment the Taskforce would inflict upon them."

Genya’s retort distracted his guards long enough for Muichiro to close in on them. One had been just about to punch Genya in the face, but was swiftly decapitated before he could even throw the punch. The other was forced to let go of Genya in order to defend himself…

And in the meantime, the leader seized his chance for another attack while Muichiro’s back was turned.

”Blood demon art… Brazen Bull!”

Blood streamed out of the wounds in his hands and began to swirl around the two demon slayers, as well as the leader’s own horrified comrade. The swirling blood soon turned into a metallic liquid, which burned hotter and hotter until it glowed bright red, all the while taking on a large bull-like shape as it attempted to completely envelop its targets.

As soon as he received the pen and paper, Edgeworth moved closer to the torch light and wasted no time writing something down. It took him a few minutes and a number of pages, but as soon as he finished, he neatly folded up the paper he had just written on and handed it back to Sung.

"If and when you get the chance, give this to Wright.” Edgeworth told Sung. “He’ll know what to do with it."

With that done, Edgeworth took the pen and remaining sheets of paper, and turned to face both Zenitsu and Nezuko.

“It’s complicated, but any attempt to free us would be technically illegal. Wright and Uzui both risk being imprisoned here as well if they get caught.” Edgeworth said solemnly. “The only way I can think of to save them is to let the whole truth finally come out. To expose the Taskforce and all its atrocities once and for all. If we can do that, all of the Taskforce’s legal protections would be rendered null and void.”

Edgeworth knelt down to Zenitsu’s level.

“I know this is asking a great deal of you, Zenitsu… but you too have suffered unjustly at the hands of the Taskforce, and so has Nezuko.” Edgeworth held out the pen and paper for both of them. “Your eyewitness testimony would strengthen the case against the Taskforce and help to protect our friends. You don’t have to share anything you don’t want to, but whatever details you’re comfortable sharing would be a great help. All I ask is that you tell the truth.”

Muichiro and Genya went into fighter stance as the bull shaped liquid surounded them. Genya quickly reacted and took a bite of one of the demons,turning into a demon himself.

Before Genya could claw the liquid off, a flame was sent toward the leader and a large dog charged toward the demon leader as well.
Muichiro looked surprised.

After a few minutes of writing,he gave the piece of paper to Edgeworth. "Here! Done!"

It didn’t take long for Sung to realize what was happening. Why Miles wanted the paper, and pen. He wanted a written testimonial of what he had seen in this place. So, when he handed him the filled-out paper, and told him to give it to Wright. Nodding his head as he knew that this would be important information. He placed it in his inventory for safe keeping.

“Fear is something that is important but must be controlled. That has been my experience.” Sung said remembering his time when he was called the world's weakest hunter. However, he switched gears because he didn’t want to remember that time in his life.

“I can now see why Wright holds you in such high regards for a prosecutor. He had told me you were the best, and now I completely believe him.” Sung said as he still just stood there. His mind went back to the letter that was delivered to him. It was not a report from one of his shadows. The writing was not that good. Though since coming to this world he found he could understand and read other worlders languages.

This was written by someone like him, but not from his world. It told him a couple secrets of this facility. One of them held a man dressed in white. With long black hair. That was put in some kind of coma, and that the author of the letter was forced to work for the taskforce. Though it was difficult to read since the letters were so badly written. The only problem was that the person also mentioned that he knew that Sung was not who he seemed to be.

Pyo was a little skeptical about the man’s offer. He had mentioned that all of his subordinates were like his children, and even if it was only temporary the man would think of him the same way. His true family was dead when he was younger, and he lived on the streets. Then the Assassins kidnapped him and put him through hell for seven years. Trust was not something he gave lightly. However, this man showed no signs of blood lust, and seemed to be genuine with his words and actions. Could he trust the man?

“What is in it for you?” Pyo asked with skepticism as stood up from his chair. “No one makes a request or offer without having an ulterior motive. Why make an offer like that to someone you just met?”
