Lin Guang had not activated Mind Perception, so he did not know that Shinobu Kocho was already at the door.
Only when Lin Guang was about to leave did he see Shinobu Kocho standing in the doorway.
With tears in her eyes, Shinobu Kocho threw herself into Lin Guang's arms, rose onto her tiptoes, and kissed him on the lips.
After a long while, their lips parted. Looking at the bashful Shinobu Kocho in his arms, Lin Guang said softly, "Doing this in front of your sister Kanae isn't very appropriate, is it?"
Blushing, Shinobu Kocho stubbornly replied, "My sister already knows anyway. Even if she saw us kissing, she wouldn't mind."
Seeing how adorable Shinobu Kocho looked, Lin Guang held her even tighter.
But warm moments were always short-lived.
A Kasugai Crow landed by the window and said, "A message from Oyakata-sama! Lin Guang is to visit Oyakata-sama after waking!"
Hearing the Kasugai Crow, Shinobu Kocho stepped out of Lin Guang's arms. Although she was reluctant to leave the chest that made her feel so safe, official business still came first in the Demon Slayer Corps.
After delivering the message, the Kasugai Crow flew away.
Watching the departing crow, Lin Guang said softly, "It looks like the Master wants to know about Upper Rank Three."
"Then hurry along. I'll wait for you at the Butterfly Mansion," Shinobu Kocho said gently.
Lin Guang nodded lightly, then gave Shinobu Kocho a peck on the cheek before leaving the Butterfly Mansion.
Watching Lin Guang leave, Shinobu Kocho turned toward the photograph of her sister, Kanae Kocho, and said, "Sister, your dream has already come true through Lin Guang. With him here, I think I'll surely be happy."
Meanwhile, Lin Guang arrived at the courtyard where the last Hashira Trial had taken place
