Demon Slayer: Muzan, will you dance too?

"To be honest, I still don't quite understand why you would take such a big risk to save me?"

Kiyokawa Izumi did not stubbornly utter any incomprehensible words.

For example, how could I, as a pillar, accept help from an evil spirit?

Or perhaps, without your interference, Akaza might have already been dealt with by me.

Forget it.

The combination of clarity and extreme burst damage is indeed quite strong, and it has a considerable chance of winning against Akaza.

At the very least, it's 60% or 40% open.

He naturally has a 60% win rate.

However, this state doesn't last long.

As a man, it is extremely shameful to say that he cannot last three minutes—Kiyokawa Izumi could only admit with great shame that he truly could not.

I almost killed myself.

Even after taking a nap, I still feel weak all over and can't even maintain full concentration.

As a transmigrator with a flexible moral bottom line, being saved by Tamayo is not an unacceptable thing.

The only thing I can't understand is why this woman was willing to take such a big risk?

Miss Tamayo was a beautiful young woman with long, smooth, black hair that was styled in an updo and secured with flower-shaped hair clips.

His jewel-like pale purple eyes lacked luster, and his rosy lips contrasted sharply with his pale complexion.

She sat elegantly and gracefully opposite Kiyokawa Izumi, dressed in a deep purple kimono.

Even someone who has seen countless people can be instantly attracted by this person's temperament.

Beneath her gentle and elegant exterior lies a maturity honed over a century. She possesses both the compassion of a healer and a relentless drive for revenge. Her gentle gaze subtly lowers Kiyokawa Izumi's guard.

"It wasn't out of kindness, but simply because of... hatred!"

"Tamayo said softly."

Kiyokawa Izumi was slightly taken aback by this person's answer.

"Your battle with Upper Moon Three caught our attention... You looked really bad at the time, so I thought of using Blood Demon Art to create chaos so you could escape."

That child sensed what I was thinking and took the risk to reach out to you.

I don't have any particular purpose; I just want to remind you to leave as soon as possible.

If we keep fighting, we'll die!

Unexpectedly, you collapsed from your terrible condition, and the child couldn't leave you there, so they had to bring you back here.

"If it weren't for Lady Tamayo's request, I wouldn't bother with you at all!"

Yushiro said coldly, still maintaining a wary expression.

What he was thinking was, "Lady Tamayo, I can't get this close. He's a demon slayer; it's dangerous!"

"He can even see through my Blood Demon Art; I absolutely must keep my distance from him!"

"Lady Tamayo is so charming when she's explaining things so earnestly! I can't watch anymore, I have to keep a close eye on this guy! I absolutely can't let him hurt Lady Tamayo!"

"I see..."

Kiyokawa Izumi couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Was I really in such a bad state at the time?

It feels amazing!

They beat the third brother so badly he couldn't fight back!

Another achievement to add to my life's record: crushing the Upper Moon Three.

Don't ask how long it has been, and don't worry about whether it can be reproduced again, just ask if it exists.

"Thank you so much for sitting here patiently and listening, and for not taking action against us just because we are evil spirits."

Tamayo, the doctor, bowed deeply to her patient instead.

From this person's perspective, it's understandable.

She is, after all, a ghost.

For hundreds of years, they not only had to avoid Muzan, but also the Demon Slayer Corps.

Aside from Kiyokawa Izumi, the only swordsman willing to approach her is probably that one.

Having already shown great sincerity, enduring discomfort to meticulously bandage his wounds, Kiyokawa Izumi, who knows everything, is certainly unable to accept this calmly.

"I'm the one who should be saying thank you. There are some things you don't need to say anymore, and there's no need to bring up the past."

I know most of it!

Kiyokawa Izumi said softly.

There's no need to explain to him why he turned into a ghost—explaining these things would be like reopening your wounds and painfully displaying them.

This girl, who was originally only nineteen years old, loved reading and drinking black tea.

Unexpected events can happen at any time. Suffering from a terminal illness, she did everything she could to find a treatment, simply because she wanted to see her child grow up.

At that moment, Muzan appeared.

Deeply deceived, she became a demon, and when she came to her senses, her husband and children had been killed by her.

In the period that followed, he also gave up on himself due to instinct and killed many people.

Because of her expertise in medicine, Muzan felt he could use her and forcibly kept her by his side—even knowing that she harbored deep hatred for him, Muzan didn't care at all.

What good are emotions under absolute suppression?

He is no threat at all!

Not long after, he encountered Yoriichi Tsugikuni's Muzan and was so frightened that he fled in panic. Due to his extreme weakness, he was freed from Tamayo's control.

In the days that followed, Tamayo continued to use drugs to modify her body, completely breaking free from control while greatly reducing her craving for human flesh and blood.
