Demon Slayer: Muzan, will you dance too?

Unable to refuse, Makijuro reluctantly agreed, but made it clear that this was the last time he would serve the Demon Slayer Corps.

I hope that my lord will not bother him with these trivial matters anymore.

It is absolutely impossible for him to return to the public eye.

His gaze unconsciously met Kiyokawa Izumi's, and he tightened his grip on the sake bottle slightly, his displeasure evident.

Beyond that, it was simply breathtaking.

When they first met, this uncivilized brat was no match for him.

They can only resort to underhanded tactics to suffer losses.

At that time, he hadn't even mastered the full concentration breathing technique.

They know nothing and understand nothing, yet they dare to spout such arrogant and boastful things.

When we met again, the changes were so great.

He is already a pillar.

Even if you face the grate head-on, you can escape unscathed.

He stood there straight, just like an ordinary person. Even with my eyesight, I couldn't see anything wrong with him, nor could I sense his presence.

It's as if it has blended into its environment.

"Even in my prime, I probably wouldn't be a match for him... How could he have changed so much in just a few months?"

"Ah, that's talent."

"Without talent, a lifetime of hard work is useless."

"If you can't even learn how to use the Heavenly Breathing Technique, what can you change, even if you have some talent?"

Makijuro raised the sake bottle and took a big gulp. Just then, a gentle voice rang in his ears.

Why do you feel so desperate and depressed, as if anger is lurking beneath the surface?

When his true feelings were seen through, Makijuro's pupils suddenly contracted, and his gaze instinctively turned to look.

He was a boy with deep red hair, and his eyes were so gentle.

However, asking too directly is impolite.

Makijuro initially didn't want to pay attention, but when he saw the boy's earring, his expression changed drastically.

So that's how it is... So that's how it is... Are you the successor of Sun Breathing?

Is he a swordsman far more talented than Kiyokawa Izumi?

This kind of disgusting concern is truly unbearable.

He lost his composure for a moment, and emotions such as jealousy, resentment, anger, or unwillingness surged up.

"What do you want to do? What are you doing? Can't you even control your own emotions?"

When he came to his senses, his arm was already being tightly gripped by Kiyokawa Izumi.

"No wonder you asked me to come... You probably don't know anything, do you? Let me tell you what these earrings mean."

Makijuro tried his best but couldn't struggle, so he could only coldly mock, "Your proud talent is nothing in front of a Sun Breathing user."

Now that you've become a pillar, you must feel your own limits, right?

No matter how hard I try, I can't break through the bottleneck in swordsmanship.

The same applies to breathing techniques.

At this point, you have no room for improvement!

The so-called demons can grow stronger by constantly eating people, just like the Upper Moon demon you encountered. The next time you meet him, he might be even stronger.

If you're unable to improve, and encounter this situation again, will you be able to escape unscathed?

"Makijuro!"

Hearing these words, the ex-boyfriend Shuizhu could not tolerate it and even his tone became stern.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became heavy.

Neither the aspiring swordsmen nor the regular members dared to utter a sound. Tanjiro also became cautious, wondering if he had done something wrong. There were too many things that he couldn't understand at his current level.

What is Sun Breathing?

What is the upper moon?

Why are they arguing? Why is Mr. Urokodaki so angry?

"Did I say something wrong? Aren't you very proud and honored to have sent a Sun Breathing inheritor into the Demon Slayer Corps?!"

Even when facing a senior figure, Maki Juro showed no restraint and spoke very rudely.

This is actually quite normal.

You can't expect an alcoholic to speak rationally when they're emotionally out of control, can you?

"Do you deserve the person you once were, saying these things?"

Urokodaki Sakon's question at this moment carries considerable weight.

Compared to his overly irresponsible predecessor, the Flame Pillar, Sakonji Urokodaki appears to be very responsible.

Upon receiving his lord's letter, he thought for a moment and then agreed—he was no longer alone and could not leave Mount Sagiri at will.

You should know that someone's younger sister is still not awake.

It's normal for Urokodaki Sakonji to hesitate.

If Nezuko, who has become a demon, awakens during their absence and commits an unforgivable crime, would she and Tanjiro be held responsible?

Tanjiro sensed her hesitation and suggested that she could bring her sister to the selection, and that Urokodaki would take care of her.

This is also one of the reasons why Kiyokawa Izumi is so taciturn. He subconsciously stopped Makijuro and looked at Tanjiro and the wooden box behind him with a strange and somewhat complicated look.

No, why did you bring your sister to the selection?

If I remember correctly, he's still not awake, right?

This outrageous move left him speechless.

"So annoying!"

"Was Kagaya Ubuyashiki doing this on purpose?"

"That man probably doesn't think I can revive the former Flame Pillar, does he?"

"What the hell could I do?"
