In this crossover anime, many ruthless and powerful figures reside in my territory.

"Actually, you don't need to do anything."

Despite saying that, Muzan's eyes were overflowing with joy.

Lister looked at Kagaya Ubuyashiki kneeling in front of him and Amane Ubuyashiki next to him.

A hint of panic flashed in Tianyin's eyes.

"...Tenon, can you tell me what Muzan looks like?"

Upon hearing Kagaya Ubuyashiki's calm voice, Amane instantly calmed down and thoughtfully began to speak.

However, someone was faster than her.

Why not observe it with your own eyes?

Lister raised his index finger, and a holy light shone upon everyone.

My whole body felt warm, as if I had returned to my mother's womb...

Kagaya Ubuyashiki's illness and the hidden injuries in the six Pillars were all removed in that instant.

When the holy light disappeared, Kagaya saw Lister and Muzan Kibutsuji beside him.

From those deep, sky-blue eyes, Kagaya sensed a familiar feeling.

this person……

"Did you see that clearly?" Muzan looked at Ubuyashiki Kagaya with a mocking expression: "This is charity for you."

"The charity of the strong."

At this moment, she felt no resentment towards the Demon Slayer Corps members in front of her; on the contrary, she felt extremely comfortable.

My dream has already come true, and the Demon Slayer Corps members are just ants, so why bother with them?

However, to Muzan's surprise, Ubuyashiki didn't look at her, but instead stared directly at Lister.

"You're human, aren't you? Why are you helping Muzan Kibutsuji?"

“The promise and… she is my friend, my comrade-in-arms, and now we are on the same side.”

Liszt remained calm, simply stating a fact.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki, on the other hand, saw "pride" in Muzan's eyes.

Was she proud to stand with this man?

"Ubuyashiki Kagaya, I have eradicated the curse and disease of your clan. The holy light left in your bodies will protect you from illness and disaster until you die of old age naturally."

"that's it."

Lister turned and headed towards the exit, with Muzan silently following behind, oblivious to everything else.

Sanemi Shinazugawa, who was lying on the ground, tried desperately to get up and roar, but how could they break free from the paralysis that Lister had instilled?

Just then, Kagaya Ubuyashiki suddenly heard a voice coming from inside his brain.

If Zhu comes seeking revenge, do not stop them. I promise no one will get hurt.

Ubuyashiki pondered those words carefully.

Was that man trying to achieve some goal by using the Demon Slayer Corps Pillars...?

"what!!!!"

Sanemi Shinazugawa finally stood up and charged towards Lister and Muzan.

"Stop! I want you to stop!"

The next second, Lister and Muzan vanished from their spot, leaving Shinazugawa Sanemi empty-handed.

"Ugh!!! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

"Kibutsuji Muzan! I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you!"

Several pillars climbed up one by one.

They all remained silent, and although no one was injured, everyone felt incredibly heavy-hearted.

Because they understood one thing—

Muzan Kibutsuji has overcome sunlight, and the human next to her is incredibly powerful, even able to release a holy light that heals everything, making him almost like a god.

At this moment, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, who had fully recovered, stood up.

"Everyone, I know where they're going."

"The choice is yours."

……

"Lister, where do we go now?"

Muzan and Lister walked along a country road, the bright sunshine making Muzan feel comfortable.

"Go to the refugee area."

Ok?

Muzan was stunned, somewhat taken aback.

Why go to the refugee area filled with poor people?

She used to prefer looking for people with dark hearts in places like this when she created ghosts, but there's no need to go there now.

Why not go to a city festival for parades and fun?

Thinking of this, she suddenly became interested and took Liszt's arm.

"I know some fun places."

"Although you are an aristocrat, you have never seen our modern neighborhoods before. I'll take you to eat delicious food and there are many interesting things you can experience."

After saying this, Muzan felt a strange sense of absurdity.

I never imagined she would say something like that one day.

Perhaps it's because I'm in such a good mood today.

First, Lister was willing to come to her world, then she fulfilled her thousand-year dream, and before that, she had thoroughly annoyed the Demon Slayer Corps and made them experience despair. More importantly, it was Lister who made the move just now.

He acted to protect her.

Whenever I think about this, I feel incredibly at ease, without having to worry about being threatened.

"Go to the refugee area."

Seeing that Lister had no intention of changing his mind, Muzan was somewhat helpless, but still answered happily.

"Okay, as you wish."

Anyway, where in this world can't the two of them go?

……

The island nation in the Demon Slayer world is in a period of transition between the old and the new.

The most prosperous areas already have high-rise buildings and trams, and long-distance passenger trains have also been launched.

Elsewhere, life remains the same, with people adhering to traditional ways of life, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, using oil lamps and firewood.

There are many refugee areas around some remote large villages and towns.

The people living here are extremely poor, many of whom survive by stealing and committing crimes, and quite a few work as thugs.

The area has extremely poor public security and is completely unmanageable.

Human life is extremely cheap here, and human trafficking is rampant despite repeated crackdowns.

Why doesn't the government deal with the refugee areas?

Because the cost of processing is too high, and many high-ranking officials and wealthy people make money through the gray industries in the refugee areas, and the labor here is really cheap.

Thus, the exploitation by high-ranking officials and the rejection by ordinary people meant that the people in the refugee areas could hardly leave for the rest of their lives and could only live as the lowest of the low.

In such an environment, the evil in people's hearts will be revealed to the greatest extent.

That's why Muzan used to come here often to find suitable candidates.

Those who have experienced the misery of the world and been persecuted by the evil in people's hearts are most likely to awaken to the demonic side.

They are people who live in darkness, yearning for light yet fearing it.

Therefore, when they saw Lister and Muzan entering the refugee area, they all hid.

Those two women were so beautiful, and one of them was a noble foreigner.

They must have come here to make some dirty deals.

Muzan glanced at the people hiding in the shadows around him, his expression completely unconcerned.

Liszt found an open space and placed the large basket he had just bought on the ground.

Are there any patients here? Free treatment is available.

The loud voice echoed, but no one left the dark room.

Muzan crossed his arms, looking rather uninterested.

"They're not even citizens of Red Maple Territory, so why are they doing this?"

"Some things just have to be done."

strangeness……

Muzan fiddled with his hair behind his ear, puzzled.

Liszt was not a benevolent person who readily showed kindness, and the people in the refugee area did not meet Liszt's requirements for his subjects.

So what is the real reason?

Forget it, there's no need to think about it so deeply. Just admiring Liszt's face is quite pleasant enough.

Lister called out every ten seconds or so, but no one came for a full ten minutes.

No, now the first person has arrived.

A ragged, thin middle-aged woman ran out of the shadows, carrying a boy in her arms.
