Oyakata-sama may be at death's doorstep, and this less-than-30 man still has so much class than his clan's thousand-year old nemesis. I love it.

Still worried that Muzan might decide to turn them all into Demons, as insult to injury

Hitotsu Toya (ひとつとや, "Temple Bells"), the traditional song that Oyakata-sama's children sung in this chapter while playing ball is a counting song/nursery rhyme, usually sung in celebration of the New Year. Originating from the Edo period, it was standardised as a kindergarten song in the Meiji period. (For trivia's sake, the full version counts to 12)

While its inclusion might be, again, a way for Gotouge-sensei to add some Taisho era flavour to the series, there's a certain irony in hearing this song of celebration in the lead-up to a tragedy.
Perhaps it's deliberate, alluding to the idea that a new era worthy of celebration is coming? Or is the reason more pedestrian, just to show that it's now close to the New Year?

Reading the Japanese raw, the first line of Page 17 could've been more like this:

"You went and stirred awake the tigers and dragons ... that would've remained asleep for their whole lives."

We cant choose how we come to this world... frequently we can't choose how our lives progress... many times we cant choose the moment of our deaths... but CAN choose how we face our end.

Oyakata-sama is a true man of honor, deserving of all the love and admiration he receives.
