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

Liszt handed a gilded invitation to Inoue Orihime.

"I've invited a lot of people over, are you coming tonight?"

Orihime accepted the invitation and nodded emphatically.

"Of course I'm coming! I want to see Nadia, Elsa, Lena, Melf, Cortini, Yahiko, Minami, and so many others again."

"And Sister Carol, and the uncle who gave me candy..."

Just as Orihime was excitedly reciting each name, Lister walked up to her with a smile.

"I was hesitant before about whether to interfere too much in your life, but now that I have, I can't bear to part with such a lovely Orihime, so let's just do as we please."

As Liszt's face drew closer, Inoue Orihime instinctively shrank her face into the towel, secretly observing him out of the corner of her eye.

"Come, open your mouth, and I will give you a portion of my power through my blood."

"...Will that affect you, Mr. Lister?"

"No, the impact will be minimal."

"Also, why don't you call me Brother Liszt from now on? Calling me 'Sir' sounds a bit too formal, and you probably wouldn't want to just call me by my name either."

Orihime rubbed her face with both hands.

“Then… Brother Lister.”

"Ah."

She slowly opened her mouth, and a drop of blood entered her throat.

The next second, she felt as if she had learned a lot of things, and even her spiritual power had become several times stronger.

"You'll need practice to fully absorb the experience I'm giving you."

"Alright, let's go back to school. Our promise isn't null and void."

"You did a great job dealing with the bullying today. You should fight back hard."

Orihime Inoue blushed. When Lister came to see her earlier, it was during the school's lunch break, when someone was causing her trouble.

Thinking of Liszt's teachings, she rushed forward and knocked down the bully with a flurry of punches, only to be seen by Liszt.

"I'm leaving."

Liszt responded with a smile, and then Inoue Orihime disappeared from the spot.

Looking at the bright sunlight behind him, Lister couldn't help but wonder how the other invitations were doing.

……

Naruto World.

Yahiko waved to Madara in the distance, holding up the invitation.

"Ms. Ban, what should we bring?"

Ban didn't answer, he just sat in his seat with an anxious look on his face. How could he know such a thing?

……

Death world.

Aizen, who was inside the barracks, looked at the invitation in his hand and then put it in his pocket.

"Dong dong."

"Captain Aizen, may I come in?"

"Hinamori, come in."

……

In Yuri's world, Yuri, who was in the research lab, used satellite communication to contact his prized student, Xinhe.

"Try to finish this operation before 7 p.m., and then go directly to Red Maple Territory."

"Yes!"

……

Demons destroy the world.

Kanae looked towards Muzan, who was giving free medical consultations to patients in the distance, and then glanced at the invitation in her hand.

"Shinobu, Kanao, what do you think? Should we go?"

The Butterfly Man crosses his arms.

"Hmph! I think that guy is definitely up to no good. He even made a special trip to our world to invite you over, sister."

"He definitely has ulterior motives!"

Kanae Butterfly smiled and nodded.

"Yes, he is a leader praised by our lord, and he must have something in mind about our world. Isn't that exactly what we went there to find out about the situation?"

"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated."

As she said this, she looked at Kanao Tsuyuri, who was standing silently beside her.

At this moment, Kanao was staring at the half-circle coin in her hand that had been broken into only heads.

……

On the viewing platform of Red Maple Castle, Lister silently watched the midday sun on the horizon, looking forward to the banquet that followed.

How many people will actually come?

Chapter 102 The Otherworldly People Gathering in Red Maple Territory (Part 2)

Liszt attached great importance to this Spring Festival banquet.

This was a diplomatic effort to bring him closer to the recruiters.

Therefore, he asked Nadia to take into account the suggestions provided by Yuri and Muzan and prepare to hold a rather informal banquet.

The greatest significance of the banquet is to welcome the spring.

People from all over the world have different yet similar cultures, and many of them don't care much about their attire. Therefore, Liszt didn't intend to turn the banquet into some kind of aristocratic ball. It was simply a party to enjoy good food, admire the moon and fireworks, and perhaps add some singing and dancing.

However, this banquet was also meant to showcase the new look of Red Maple Territory, so the venue was set on the sixth-floor balcony of New Red Maple Castle, with Nadia leading the newly recruited maids to prepare for the banquet.

To show his respect, he will personally lead a welcoming party.

However, to Lister's surprise, someone arrived here several hours early.

"Mr. Lister, Happy New Year."

Wearing a thick women's winter coat, Kanae Butterfly greeted Liszt politely.

"Happy New Year, Ms. Kanae, Ms. Shinobu, and Ms. Kanao."

Liszt smiled in response and then slipped the candy he had prepared into Kanao's hand.

Kanao looked at the candy, then at the coin that had been broken into heads, and then put the candy in her mouth.

When Lister looked at Shinobu Kocho, he unsurprisingly received a glare.

"Ms. Kanae, there are still three hours until the banquet..."

"Well, please allow us to wander around your territory as we please."

"This is a letter from our lord."

Lister accepted Kagaya Ubuyashiki's letter and then looked at Muzan, who was dressed in a black formal suit.

"Muzan, please take them to Red Maple Town for a stroll."

"Huh? Why me?!"

Muzan looked annoyed. It was one thing to face Kanae every day, but why did he have to follow them around in Red Maple Territory?

Lister smiled slightly, and the tenderness in his eyes caught Muzan's attention.

"Isn't it proper etiquette for a host to entertain guests?"

Muzan's fingers, which were fiddling with his hair, froze. Then he turned his head and headed towards the exit of Red Maple Castle.

"Master... well, there's nothing we can do about it."

"follow me."

Kanae smiled as she looked at Muzan's retreating figure, mentally reassessing the relationship between Lister and Muzan.

The Demon King, who had troubled the Demon Slayer Corps for a thousand years, was so easily subdued. Women in love are just too easy to understand.

No, it should be said that Lister's methods, which enabled Muzan to become like this, are not to be underestimated.

At this moment, Liszt was gazing at Nakime, whose hair was styled in a bun, and the two were communicating through a deep spiritual connection.

Nakime, I'll leave it to you.

[Lord Lister, I have memorized all the information regarding Red Maple Territory, so please rest assured.]

Yes, I feel very reassured with you here.

Also, I'm really looking forward to the performance at the banquet.

The next moment, Lister felt a surge of joy.

"Yes, sir, I will do my utmost."

Lister smiled and saw Kanae and the others off, then tossed Shinobu a candy, which she kicked back at him.

Lister caught it again without a second thought, then watched as Shinobu was scolded by her older sister.

The fact that Muzan could maintain this energetic personality shows that he really didn't have any major conflicts with them.

This is a good thing.

As time passed, Melfie, dressed in a red dress, and Chris, in a tuxedo, appeared at the entrance of Red Maple Castle.

Female and male soldiers dressed in light armor lined up on both sides, ready to receive the guests.

The first to arrive were Yuri and Xinhe, both dressed in Epsilon's military uniforms, as they entered Red Maple Castle.
