"As the precious Humanity's Strongest Force, I understand what it feels like to be in your place," Gyomei stated silently as his smile slowly fell to a frown. Y/n perked up at his remarks. "Pardon?" Y/n cleared her throat. "I understand what if feels like to be Humanity's Strongest Force, it was unsettling, very pressuring indeed," Gyomei nodded in agreement. 

"I was a bit stunned that Amane had given the title to someone else, not to mention, to a child. I felt most of my heavy burdens finally ascending from my heart, but I couldn't help but feel absolutely devastated," Gyomei explained, Y/n stared at him intently as she blinked. 'Is he mad at me that I took his title?' Y/n thought silently before casting her e/c gaze back at the cup of tea. 

"I felt devastated that a child would be the next one to feel the cruel pressure, I wished I kept on the title as the strongest force so that no one can suffer, but I'm no magician, aren't I?" Gyomei asked. "I'm sorry, Y/n," Gyomei frowned silently. "I'm sorry I couldn't kept the title to myself, even if I'm the strongest Hashira, I still can't save you from this pressuring situation," Gyomei's frown was even more deeper as he clasped his hands together and let more tears cascade his eyes. 

Y/n looked at him silently with widened eyes. "Please! Don't say sorry!" Y/n exclaimed quickly as she made big hand gestures. "Y-You shouldn't be so mad at yourself about that, it's alright," Y/n smiled lopsidedly. "Everything's alright, so, it's all right, Gyomei, you don't need to blame yourself for this," Y/n smiled, the clouds in her head had whooshed away as her burden had left. Pure concoction of determination proliferated through every inch of her body, a small smile adorned her young features. His tears came to a halt. 

"I can do it, Gyomei! I'll live after the final battle and marry my beloved! I know I can do it! Thank you so much for the talk, Gyomei! I have to go train!" Y/n exclaimed as she jumped up from her seat. "I'm going to go now, bye bye!" she chirped with an eye closed smile, before sprinting away. 

Gyomei sat silently in wonder as he stared at the back of Y/n's figure. His tears started flowing freely as a he blinked. He hadn't cried out of pure pity in so long. His heart burst at the simple exclaim from Y/n. "I can do it, Gyomei! I'll live after the final battle and marry my beloved! I know I can do it! Thank you so much for the talk, Gyomei! I have to go train!" That line rang in his head as he quickly cleared his tears. 'I haven't met someone with such determination in for so long,' Gyomei thought silently as he couldn't help but failed to clear up all his tears. 

Her melancholic voice that shifted into such melodic melody of merriment brought so many mixed emotions in him. "I haven't heard such a voice in my life, what a gifted child she is. I mustn't let her die," he muttered silently as he smiled down at his cup of tea.

Saeko looked down as her red gaze glowered over the pile of slayers that were on the floor, sobbing internally, wishing that Y/n would come back. "You delinquents. How there you enter a sanctuary of a goddess with no talents? How dare you interrupt my time with my beloved master? You disgust me," Saeko said as Aoko grimaced. 

"Saeko-san, you're going too far," Aoko sweatdropped. Suki blinked awkwardly as she stood still, waiting for Y/n to get home. "My, my, what's happened here?" a voice called as everyone immediately perked up and looked up to see Y/n standing on the doorway with a small happy smile. "Y/N!!!!!" "AAAAAAA THE GODDESS HAD RETURNED!" "Y/N-SANN!!" "KIGIKU-SAMAA!!" the slayers on the floor broke into a crowd of shouts and screeches as they ran towards Y/n and clung on to her tightly, even on to one another. Y/n looked down in surprised as some of them rushed to hid behind her. "S-SHE'S A PSYCHO!" one of them exclaimed behind her as they grabbed Y/n's shoulders tightly and pointed at Saeko.
