Obviously, she goes to hide.

The fact she had just messed around with the successor of a Pillar still had her worried. On one hand, Maki expected her Blood Demon Art to at least have some affect on the others, and she knew that it would still affect Kanao for a while. But to go on the deep end just like that was... not smart, and very risky. As such, Maki turned to head "home", which in reality was just the home of other people she would later... uh... use as a means of fueling herself. Then again... as there is a Pillar roaming these streets, perhaps its best to deal with this a bit passively.

Maki barged into the home of an unsuspecting family, two daughters, a mother and a sleeping father figure. The mother and daughters turned to look at the pale woman who just barged into their home, and proceeded to do nothing about it. Why should they? It was normal for this woman to just enter their home in the middle of the night, completely uninvited, and proceed to look around the place.

"Alright girls, I'm going to bed now. Do me a favor and carry your father to our bedroom, work hasn't been too kind for him."

Spoke the mother in a soft, caring manner, as she stood up from the table and passed by Maki, heading upstairs. Before she could however, the demon stopped her to make a few requests.

"It is normal to let visitors sleep in the bedroom, you and your family will sleep in the living room floor."

"Oh... my apologies madam, of course I will sleep in the living room. Is there anything you want during your stay?"

The mother seemed surprised, but then understanding, as if it was just normal customs and tradition. By her attitude, it was clear that this was a kind-hearted, pure soul, type of woman, one that obviously cared for the health of others. But... the demon was particularly hard to get a read on, so she couldn't immediately offer any services, instead choosing to ask. The daughters also heard this, and put their father back down on the couch, as the two of them then knelt on the floor.

"Oh, nothing from me, not yet at least. Unless... you could offer your home?"

"My... home? I believe that is beyond what I could offer. I have a family after all."

"As someone who provides service, it's only normal you would offer anything you could, correct?"

"Yes but... actually, that is a very understandable point you make. I will offer my home to you, madam, feel free to visit whenever you feel like it... may I catch your name?"

"Maki Hokama, and thank you for your home, I'll make sure to make it of value. You and your family can work as my attendants, taking care of the place while I'm gone, it's only part of the services you could offer, correct?"

"Yes, Hokama-sama. Whatever you need, just call on us."

The two went back and forth on a few things before settling on a deal: Maki would gain the home and services of this family for free, while the family would get to live in it. Of course, this was a perfect deal, as the mother needed to have a home for her family to stay in, and why not choose to live in the home she just gave to the complete stranger that asked for it? This woman is too pure for a world like this, a world where evil monsters exist, but she can rely on the home owner to keep her and her family safe... she only needs to serve. The mother gave a quick bow, as she went to her daughters and knelt beside them, telling them about what happened and how it's time for bed.

It was important for Maki to keep herself at high spirits in order to not go insane with the thoughts about Pillars and Demon Slayers, etc. So she decided to just... own a home, one where she gets free service, all thanks to a nice family. Maki went to the master bedroom, closing the blinds and curtains on any windows or exposed surfaces, as she would be staying there for the rest of the night, and until the night of the next day begins, as demons can't walk out in sunlight. Demons also can't exactly sleep... unless some random demon exists that can sleep... if they do, Maki hopes its a girl.

Anyway, to distract herself for the time being, Maki thought about Kanao... how the girl seemed to be quite cute, her face kind of reminding her of something... but she couldn't place her finger on it. Perhaps a girl she knew when she used to be a part of the hellish organization, but not like she cares now, or probably ever will. If she finds Kanao again, she'll make sure it's in an area that allows for a more safe testing grounds... it's the rules of nature after all. Demons are stronger than humans, but Maki isn't stupid, she's just stubborn.
