"May I ask what happened here?"
Just as Sesshomaru, Kiriya, Nagato, Konan, and Hawkins were introducing themselves to one another.
A gentle, lotus-like voice drifted into everyone's ears.
"Big Sister Nezuko!"
Upon seeing the newcomer, Kiriya Ubuyashiki hurriedly greeted her respectfully.
Shion, who had been at his side the whole time, ran straight over and threw herself into the woman's arms.
To Sesshomaru and the others, however, three females—one adult and two children—were walking toward them.
The woman at the front and center had skin like creamy jade, radiant features, and her hair loosely pinned up.
Her figure was slender and graceful, her eyes bright as stars.
Clad in a fitted red-and-white shrine maiden outfit, she approached with elegant steps.
Her beauty gave them the sense that she was no less stunning than Sesshomaru.
She was Nezuko Kamado, who had just turned twenty-three this year and was in the prime of her youth.
Yet the little bamboo muzzle she had once bitten was still hanging from her chest.
Only, it was no longer as vividly green as before.
"Hello. I'm a shrine maiden of the Shrine Maiden Bureau and Lady Amane's assistant, Agatsuma Nezuko. Thank you for looking after these children."
Nezuko took Shion's little hand and came before Sesshomaru to thank him.
Indeed, she had already married Zenitsu Agatsuma and had traditionally taken her husband's surname.
However, Zenitsu Agatsuma was a Senior Superintendent.
Most of the time, he had to remain at the Sea Train station in the Sabaody Archipelago.
Feeling bored, Nezuko had followed Amane Ubuyashiki to study matters related to shrine maidens.
Now, she was simply waiting for the spiritual power cultivation method from the Four Souls World to arrive.
At this moment, Kiriya was chatting with the mermaid girl standing behind Nezuko on the left.
