Chapter 9: Miroku's Inheritance ~ The day following the group's return to Kaede's Village, after defeating the bat demons to rescue Shiori and empower the Tessaiga, Miroku left the group and headed north, sitting on Hachi's back, who was currently in his giant flying gourd form. During the flight, Miroku frequently held out his right hand and looked at his palm, his brow furrowed in contemplation. "Miroku, are you sure about this?" Hachi spoke up after a while. "Hm?"
