Demon Slayer: Muzan, will you dance too?

"Are you kidding me?"

Kaigaku was truly shocked at this moment. When he inadvertently met that indifferent gaze, his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Not only was his ridiculous thoughts seen through, but he even felt that this person harbored murderous intent towards him.

This man could easily torture and kill himself even with just a wooden sword.

Who exactly said this person is easy to get along with?

Damn!

"Learning doesn't mean mastering. Even if you only use a wooden sword, if you do it to the extreme, you can still have such power."

Kiyokawa Izumi glanced at the silent Kaigaku out of the corner of her eye. The killing intent that this scumbag had sensed earlier was real, and it was something he had deliberately leaked.

Otherwise, how could someone like Kaiyue sense the aura he exuded when he made a move?

Remember this stab, and keep this fear deep in your heart.

I don't know if you'll ever meet Upper Moon One again in this world. In short, think carefully before you become a demon, whether you can withstand the blow after you turn into one.

"I will remember everything you said."

Kaigaku dared not linger there, and using the excuse of training in another location, he hurriedly left.

Whether you remember or not, it's up to you.

Kiyokawa Izumi was certain that this guy was holding a grudge against her. This kind of selfish person would take it for granted if you spoke up for him.

They might even feel that you've given too little, and they won't feel grateful or satisfied at all.

The old man, Naruhashi, really has terrible judgment when it comes to people. He even took in someone like this and taught him the Breath of Thunder without reservation.

He even made Zenitsu learn from his senior brother, which is truly speechless.

Kiyokawa Izumi was also quite curious: could the butterfly effect she had caused affect this person?

How about we drag Kaigaku along to cut down the Upper Moon one of these days?

Take the sixth line as an example.

Your junior brother was able to hold off Daki, and in the end, with Inosuke's help, he even managed to cut off her head—didn't you always think you were better than that useless junior brother?

How about I let you solo Daki?

After defeating Daki, I'll fight Gyutaro. If I can win, becoming a Pillar will be a piece of cake.

Given such a rare opportunity, Kaigaku is definitely a sure thing.

Isn't it just about soloing to level 6?

Kiyokawa Izumi firmly believed that he had the ability.

"that……"

A timid voice came from the side. Zenitsu, who had been insulted by his senior, did not burst into tears. Although he was very depressed, the kind-hearted Zenitsu did not hate his senior because of this.

I just feel that it's all because I'm too useless.

It's all my fault.

He had clearly heard what Kiyokawa Izumi said.

But at this moment, he didn't even have the courage to check it again.

Aside from escaping, it's simply an unwillingness to face reality.

Another reason I dared not agree was that I was unable to meet this person's expectations.

"So what if you only know one move? If you perfect it, you can reach the pinnacle!"

Upon hearing this, Zenitsu still felt somewhat insecure and couldn't help but ask, "Am I really qualified to be a Pillar's stepson?"

"But I..."

"Not long ago, someone asked me a question. Now, it's my turn to ask you one."

If one day, a little girl is about to be brutally murdered by an evil spirit in front of you, would you turn a blind eye?

"I……"

How could Zenitsu, who has never experienced anything like this, possibly answer that question?

He didn't know if he had the courage to draw his sword back then.

Just think about it.

Will I die?

"No need to answer, because I already know the answer. You will definitely pass the selection, and then I will openly announce that you are my stepson."

Fear or avoidance, none of that matters.

Do things you won't regret, that's all. That's probably my only expectation of you.

Despite his seemingly flawed personality, he is not lacking in courage.

Gently patting Zenitsu's shoulder, Kiyokawa Izumi continued, "As for now, if you don't want to get a good scolding from a certain woman, you should go back and rest early."

Zenitsu, whose mind was still somewhat confused, looked in the direction Kiyokawa Izumi pointed and saw a petite figure standing quietly on the eaves.

……

"Mr. Kiyokawa Izumi, could you please explain? It's one thing to stay up so late, but why break so much glass?"

"Can you hear me? Why aren't you answering? Is it because you haven't thought of an excuse yet?"

Kiyokawa Izumi, who had previously exerted too much force, was now at a loss for words—could he say that it was Piggy who did it?

"Mr. Kiyokawa Izumi, why aren't you saying anything?"

"The moon is so round tonight!"

After a long silence, he finally managed to utter this one sentence.

Facing Shinobu Kocho, who was staring intently at him, he felt guilty but refused to admit his mistake, and asked her question with righteous indignation.

"Do you have any evidence to prove that I broke it? If not, why are you slandering me?"
