Demon Slayer: Muzan, will you dance too?

With nothing to do, I went to a brothel to listen to music (×).

Kiyokawa Izumi, who had nothing to do, wasn't actually holed up in the wisteria house taking a nap. Adjusting her state of mind was hardly considered laziness.

"My breathing technique isn't really compatible with yours. You might be able to learn it with serious study for three or five years... but it's not worth spending that much time learning my breathing technique."

It might sound cruel, but the water breath you think isn't a good match might actually be the most compatible.

He was much more serious when coaching ordinary team members.

The female teammate in front of him also looked dejected and discouraged.

If the compatibility of water breathing with her is less than 20%, then the compatibility of other breathing methods would only be lower.

If a breathing method isn't truly suitable for you, it's difficult to unleash its full power—instead of thinking about learning other breathing methods, it's better to consider creating your own unique breathing method.

But this ability is something that ordinary team members do not possess.

Kiyokawa Izumi can create breathing techniques that suit them. Even if they can't achieve 100% compatibility, they can at least achieve 70% or 80%.

The problem is, he's too busy.

If it's just one or two, taking a few months is manageable.

With so many people in the Demon Slayer Corps, how could he possibly have that much time and energy?

A simple suggestion is fine, but anything too complicated is out of the question.

"What's your plan regarding the antidote and poison you requested?"

Without making a sound or revealing a trace, a tall and imposing figure appeared behind him.

The two wooden boxes were casually tossed over by Uzui Tengen.

Kiyokawa Izumi instinctively turned around, catching the fish steadily as he did so, not forgetting to say, "Why send so many people? Didn't you say you were short-handed?"

As soon as he finished speaking, ordinary team members wearing their own team uniforms appeared one after another on the eaves of both sides. Looking around, it was quite a sight.

"Didn't they say there's an Upper Moon here? Is this really appropriate, with everyone so relaxed?"

Looking at the languid Kiyokawa Izumi, Uzui Tengen couldn't help but say, "Tell me your plan. There are ten doses of the antidote, and the poison was personally prepared by Butterfly. She asked me to tell you that if the opponent is truly an Upper Moon, unless a large amount of poison is injected at once, it will be difficult to achieve any effect."

"You can never be prepared enough. Just in case, it's always good to be prepared."

Kiyokawa Izumi looked at the swordsmen around him with some distress. So many people had come, but they were really useless.

Even if they all attacked together, they might not be able to hold off the upper moon for even a single breath.

"Target: Kyogoku-ya, the courtesan Warabi-hime!"

Kiyokawa Izumi said seriously, "The opponent is, without a doubt, Upper Moon Six, the Sound Hashira. You will lead a team of swordsmen to rescue the captured hostages. The location is probably underground."

The remaining swordsmen split into two teams and evacuated the surrounding civilians as quickly as possible after the operation began.

Let's set the time for 2 a.m.

"yes!"

Ordinary team members naturally wouldn't raise objections at this time; instead, they all spoke up.

"The sixth level?"

As he stroked his chin, Tengen Uzui didn't seem as anxious as he had been in the original world. Instead, he appeared much more relaxed and didn't show any obvious opposition to Izumi Kiyokawa taking over the command.

"I do have a question. Can you handle facing someone in their sixth year of high school?"

"There may be many people imprisoned in the underground cave. We don't know how deep it is, or whether there are other evil spirits under the command of Shang Liu. Ordinary team members cannot handle it."

We must rescue these people as soon as possible; we cannot give them the opportunity to increase their strength.

As for me, I'm only in the sixth grade, no problem!

"That's a brilliant statement! I'll come to your aid as soon as possible."

Having understood what he meant, Uzui Tengen let out a hearty laugh and solemnly promised.

He'll come over as soon as he's done dealing with things there.

Kiyokawa Izumi's meaning was simple: save the ordinary people first, so as not to give the evil spirits a chance to increase their strength.

Both sides acted simultaneously, eventually meeting up at his location to jointly annihilate Upper Moon Six.

And since the time is set at 2 a.m., even if something unexpected happens, it should be able to be delayed until sunrise.

……

At 2 a.m.,

The pitch-black night enveloped the small brothel, and the last group of drunken patrons had already been carried away, leaving only a mess on the ground.

There are naturally people who stay overnight here, but most of them are already fast asleep at this time.

The thousands of brilliant lights that once illuminated the entire night sky have now mostly gone out, with only a few emitting a faint glow as they sway in the wind.

The pre-dawn wind carried a chill, causing Kiyokawa Izumi's haori to flutter loudly.

"Warawara-hime, the courtesan, aren't you going to rest at this hour?"

In the dimly lit room, Kiyokawa Izumi appeared silently, without being invited.

A slender and graceful figure appeared before us, dressed in an expensive kimono. Her posture was dignified and elegant, but her hand movements paused slightly, instantly making the atmosphere in the room oppressive.

Before I came here, I was wondering if I would be able to find you.

If we come up empty-handed, that would be terrible.

Kiyokawa Izumi smiled and started talking to her quite naturally—the opportunity to speak with a courtesan was very rare and very expensive.
