Demon Slayer: Muzan, will you dance too?

After resting for several days and feeling slightly better, Kiyokawa Izumi insisted on returning to the Demon Slayer Corps despite Dr. Tamayo's advice. Having lost contact with Kasugai Crow, he was like a kite with a broken string, unable to receive any news from the outside world.

I don't know if anything major happened during the time I disappeared.

"Mr. Kiyokawa Izumi, your injuries haven't healed yet. Is there someone you're worried about that you're leaving in such a hurry?"

Tamayo, wanting to dissuade him further, asked softly.

Yushiro, standing behind him, gave him a look that said, "Why haven't you left yet?"

Clearly, he wanted someone to leave quickly so as not to disturb his and Lady Tamayo's happy and peaceful life together.

Kiyokawa Izumi is really in the way here!

However, on the other hand, the gentle Lady Tamayo is also very charming.

"I'm afraid that if I go back any later, the tombstone with my name on it will already be erected."

Kiyokawa Izumi did not answer directly, but said quietly.

Hurry back, you might even be able to attend your own funeral.

There should be, right?

This body has no relatives in this world, but those who know him well, or the Demon Slayer Corps, should hold a funeral for him, right?

Whether this tradition exists or not, Izumi Kiyokawa is not entirely sure.

But he definitely has a tombstone!

"Yeah?"

"I can't help it," Tamayo said with a hint of helplessness.

"For the next two months, you must rest and not train or use breathing techniques."

The Demon Slayer Corps should also have excellent doctors; remember to have them check up regularly.

Out of a doctor's instinct, Tamayo, unable to persuade him otherwise, could only reiterate her point.

"Lady Tamayo is so charming, with her gentle care for patients..."

Yushiro stared intently at Tamayo's exquisite profile, his gaze unable to see anyone else.

"Let this child see you off for me."

"?"

Upon hearing this, Yushiro's face showed obvious resistance, and with a sour expression, he spoke without hesitation.

"Lady Tamayo, it's alright if he's alone. At most, he'll just collapse on the roadside and someone else will pick him up. It's not important!"

"?"

Kiyokawa Izumi's lips twitched slightly. He hadn't originally planned to let this guy give it to him, but at this moment he suddenly changed his mind.

"Alright, Yushiro's Blood Demon Art is indeed very convenient. Let him give me a ride."

"..."

Just as Kiyokawa Izumi was about to leave, she didn't forget to remind him.

"If possible, let's go somewhere else. Your involvement in the battle may have already attracted Muzan's attention, so please be very careful."

Yushiro's abilities are not omnipotent; demons with poor perception cannot pose a threat to you.

However, if someone possesses special blood demon magic, or has mastered it thoroughly, it is possible for them to discover you.

The current Upper Moon One is Yoriichi Tsugikuni's older brother, and he has mastered both the Demon Slayer Mark and the Transparent Crystal.

The sudden reminder startled Tamayo slightly.

The concern in his words brought her a long-lost sense of warmth.

Although their time together was short, she could sense that Kiyokawa Izumi did not treat them differently because they were ghosts.

"You can contact me anytime if you need anything... As for the Demon Slayer Corps, I will have a detailed discussion with the current lord, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, at the appropriate time."

That guy's obsession is killing Muzan; he certainly doesn't care that you're a demon.

Of course, please rest assured that I will not casually reveal your existence, nor will I cause you any unnecessary trouble.

Tamayo, who bowed slightly, was naturally willing to believe Kiyokawa Izumi.

It's not that the latter really has that much appeal.

She had mentally prepared herself for the potential trouble that might arise when she chose to make contact.

Compared to killing Muzan, what are these risks and troubles?

……

Butterfly House

Since the news of Kiyokawa Izumi's disappearance spread, the atmosphere here has been somewhat oppressive.

The blow to ordinary team members is too great. Even a Pillar as strong as him, even one strong enough to defeat Upper Moon Six, will be killed by the demon.

A sense of despair or helplessness enveloped everyone's hearts.

With such strength and talent, how could someone die so suddenly?

What's the point of all the effort and sweat they put in during their training here?

Kanzaki Aoi, who had been feeling down for a long time, was distracted while hanging up the laundry and almost let the wind blow away the freshly washed clothes.

If someone hadn't held her down, she probably would have had to wash herself all over again.

"Could these red spider lilies have been prepared for me?"

Kiyokawa Izumi immediately noticed the strange flowers growing in the courtyard and, in surprise, couldn't help but ask.

Red spider lilies are often used as funeral flowers, symbolizing farewell to the deceased.

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Kanzaki Aoi, who had suddenly looked up, froze on the spot.

"Why does the atmosphere here feel so strange? Is it just my imagination?"

Kiyokawa Izumi didn't feel that his existence was particularly indispensable. Just as he guessed, his funeral had already ended several days ago.

Despite rushing as fast as he could, he still couldn't make it to his own funeral, which was quite a regret.
