Demon Slayer: Muzan, will you dance too?

No matter the situation, Zenitsu always manages to seize the opportunity. Kiyokawa Izumi, who couldn't help but comment from the side, wasn't as anxious as before.

Shinobu Kocho isn't here; she's probably treating Tanjiro's injuries.

On another note, why would this grumpy guy be here so early in the morning? The Butterfly House doesn't serve Hagi-mochi.

Despite his constant barrage of threats, Sanemi didn't actually aim his Nichirin Blade at Zenitsu. Instead, he kept punching him. It was quite frustrating dealing with this persistent guy.

No matter how hard I tried, he just wouldn't let go of my leg.

The veins on his forehead were clearly visible, and Sanemi, who was nearing his limit of endurance, was hitting harder and harder.

"What do you think about this happening?"

The snake pillar that suddenly appeared behind him asked in a low voice.

"Kill the team members who violated the team rules along with them? Or just slay the demons?"

Kiyokawa Izumi couldn't help but rub his temples. Unable to bear watching any longer, he finally decided to take action.

Sanemi, whose wrist was suddenly grabbed, looked at Kiyokawa Izumi with an extremely frightened expression.

Upon seeing who it was, Sanemi, suppressing his emotions slightly, couldn't help but say, "Is this idiot your stepson? Make him let go!"

Looking at Zenitsu, who was bruised and battered and looked pitiful, Kiyokawa Izumi felt an inexplicable urge to laugh.

Of course, it would be inappropriate to actually laugh out loud.

That shows a complete lack of respect for Zenitsu, who mustered up his courage.

Just then, the pig suddenly picked up the wooden box and ran away, clearly ignoring the gloomy man.

The Serpent Pillar suddenly moved, easily knocking Inosuke to the ground. Looking at the wooden box in front of him, he subconsciously drew his Nichirin Blade.

"Beans!"

Not far away, another reckless young man rushed over. Tanjiro, whose wounds had not yet been treated, was naturally extremely anxious when he saw the Serpent Pillar who had already drawn his Nichirin Blade.

"What's going on...?"

Kiyokawa Izumi is a hypocrite.

Not long ago, I felt that life was boring and tasteless.

If something were to happen, it would give him a huge headache.

Just as the Nichirin Blade was about to strike, a familiar scabbard appeared in sight.

Kiyokawa Izumi's two unusual actions naturally aroused their suspicion, and the Wind Pillar and Serpent Pillar turned their gazes toward him.

Stared at like that by the two powerful figures, the weak, pitiful, and helpless Kiyokawa Izumi almost broke out in a cold sweat—of course, that was impossible. He was not afraid of the two, but he did not want to fight them either.

There's no need to go to such extremes.

"What does this mean? You're going to shelter this evil spirit?"

Puzzled and confused.

This guy has slain quite a few evil spirits.

Such actions are truly baffling.

There is definitely no hostility.

Kiyokawa Izumi is not some anonymous, extremely aloof water column.

"I just feel that this kind of thing shouldn't be handled privately; it should be reported to headquarters and decided by the lord himself."

Qingchuanquan said casually.

"What are you talking about? Does this matter really require your lord's attention?"

Sanemi was getting impatient. He could understand the explanation, but he didn't accept it.

They even felt it was unnecessary to go through all that trouble.

Just kill them!

Tanjiro, who rushed over despite his injuries, hugged the wooden box tightly. When he saw Zenitsu, who was bruised and battered, and Inosuke lying on the ground, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

He looked at the stranger who had appeared here with a wary gaze—Kiyokawa Izumi, whom he recognized.

"How about we listen to the child's explanation first?"

Shinobu Kocho, who had appeared silently, suddenly spoke.

"no need!"

Sanemi stated his position directly and firmly.

It's not fair to say there's anything wrong with their attitude.

The Pillars, who had seen countless demons, naturally couldn't have imagined that there really were demons that didn't eat people.

Its rarity is comparable to that of a three-legged toad.

In their minds, ghosts are people-eaters.

After becoming a demon, it will not hesitate to kill even its own family members who appear before it.

For example, Sanemi had a very tragic past; his mother became a demon and killed her own child.

Having had such an experience, I have witnessed how wretched a person who has become a demon can be.

Such an attitude towards evil spirits is understandable.

Tanjiro's explanation sounded like utter nonsense to him.

"I still think it shouldn't be handled privately!"

Kiyokawa Izumi wouldn't be foolish enough to say, "I'm going to protect this evil spirit—I just don't agree with handling it privately, that's all."

As for his own attitude, he made no mention of it.

The smells in the air were mixed together, and Tanjiro could sense emotions such as distrust and hostility emanating from Sanemi and Obanai.

Mr. Kiyokawa Izumi, whom he had met once, showed him obvious goodwill.

"Kiyokawa Izumi, what are you doing?"

It was truly incomprehensible that, in her frustration, Sanemi wanted to avoid Kiyokawa Izumi.

Just then, the ravens arrived.

"Assemble! Take Tanjiro and Nezuko with you, and head to headquarters!"

Kiyokawa Izumi knew that the man wouldn't just sit idly by.

There's no need to take action against the other pillars; just delay them a bit.
