The next morning came as Katsuro no Hiroyuki overslept were it not for the voices of the others residing in the compound he would have forgotten the duty entrusted to him, jumping from the futon to head straight for a quick bath afterwards he hurriedly wore his mint green kariginu "clothe" and asagutsu footwear.
Removing the weapon box from the compartment below the tatami "floor" as he began selecting the best of the shikigami and spell tags before returning the rest of the weapons to their previous hiding place. Crouching a little he began using his fingers to form the Akiraka ni suru spell to keep a look out for anyone that may be around before leaving his room so as not to be discovered by the others, after making sure the place was safe he then sneaked out through the back door heading through the garden leading into the forest path moving as quickly as his legs could carry him
Releasing the shikigami iguru before mounting on it as they both took to the air while releasing the spell of invisibility to hide from the very eyes of the humans whom he had sworn to protect. Gradually the journey was coming to an end as they were drawing closer to the tori gate of the Sumiyoshi shrine which was now visible, on getting to the entrance Katsuro no Hiroyuki slowly descended from the back of his eagle style shikigami, flicking his fingers to disperse the shikigami into its lifeless form afterwards he headed straight into the shrine.
