Demon Slayer: Muzan, will you dance too?

Demon Slayer Corps Headquarters

"You better not cause any trouble, kid. The one standing in front of you right now is a pillar who surpasses all other swordsmen."

As she put Tanjiro down, carrying his hidden body, she whispered something to him.

They were clearly afraid that this hothead would cause a big problem by disregarding the situation.

If they get involved, that would be bad.

After a slight hesitation, she took out a rope and tried to tie him up—this swordsman, who had seriously violated the team rules, was not qualified to attend such a meeting.

I felt a pang of pity, after all, the boy had indeed suffered very serious injuries.

But even if they hide it, there's nothing they can do.

"With me personally overseeing things, nothing will go wrong. You may all leave now."

A gentle voice sounded from the side. Looking up in surprise, Izumi Kiyokawa was already squatting down beside him.

"!!"

Since this person has already said so, there's no need to hesitate. The Hidden Member decisively took his leave and hurried away—he didn't want to be here, facing a group of Pillars, the pressure was immense!

"Mr. Kiyokawa Izumi..."

Feeling the kindness of this person, Tanjiro instinctively wanted to thank him, but then he heard the person say leisurely.

"Is your abdomen injured? Kneeling is not good for wound healing."

Try lying flat on your back or on your side.

Kiyokawa Izumi, with her extensive experience in dealing with injuries, was even able to offer sound advice at this time.

Countless eyes turned to him.

Wind Pillar: "?"

Serpent Pillar: "?"

Sound column: "?"

We're here discussing how to deal with this boy, while you're over there chatting with him as if no one else is around. Isn't that being too unsociable?

Upon first meeting Kiyokawa Izumi's Mitsuri Kanroji, I only felt that she was very special. "She's incredibly gentle, possesses a unique charm, and is a very handsome young man!"

Was he looking at me? Or was my gaze too presumptuous?

Kanroji Mitsuri, who has many thoughts on her mind, also notices the unsociable Mizuki—whose shy and hesitant appearance is also quite cute!

"Mr. Kiyokawa Izumi, are you really alright? They all seem to be looking at you... Have I caused you any trouble?"

"No, not at all. By the way, why were you so badly injured? Did you encounter a lower moon?"

Your breathing sounds strange. Are you overusing your breathing techniques? You are far from being able to use the Kagura of the God of Fire.

You could consider incorporating water breathing; that should reduce the burden.

Tanjiro's eyes widened upon hearing this.

I just felt that Mr. Kiyokawa Izumi was a really amazing person - he could accurately tell that he was forcibly switching his breathing technique just by listening to the sound of his breathing.

Not only that, he can also provide solutions!

Tanjiro, who hadn't even considered combining the two breathing techniques, greatly admired Kiyokawa Izumi—this guy had almost forgotten where he was, and his current situation was rather precarious due to his complete lack of self-awareness.

"Don't be surprised, you still haven't answered me, is it the waning moon?"

He is also quite experienced with the problem of overusing breathing techniques—having suffered numerous lung injuries himself, he still has the ability to distinguish whether breathing sounds are normal.

"Mr. Kiyokawa Izumi, what is a Lower Moon? Is it a demon that wields blood demon magic?"

"..."

"Um, are you sure it's okay?"

A cautious voice sounded from the side, and Kiyokawa Izumi, who was still thinking, suddenly looked up.

The scene suddenly fell silent. The pillars, who had been expressing their opinions and views just a short while ago, suddenly stopped talking... Could it be that the man had already appeared?

Kiyokawa Izumi subconsciously looked over, but something was wrong; Ubuyashiki Kagaya hadn't appeared either.

Why are you all staring at me?

When the nine pillars' gazes focused on him, Kiyokawa Izumi couldn't help but ask.

You guys talk your stuff, I'll talk mine, what does it mean when you suddenly stop talking?

"Kiyokawa Izumi!"

The hot-tempered man said, trying to suppress his emotions.

I've had a feeling something's off about him for a while now. What is this guy up to? Does he even know what he's doing?

"Perhaps it's to persuade the boy to let go of his relatives who have become evil spirits."

The eldest brother was still willing to offer an explanation for Kiyokawa Izumi's actions.

There's still room to wash.

Besides, he didn't commit the crime of harboring a criminal.

The one who should feel guilty is that water column!

As for any connection with Tamayo? Don't make things up without evidence.

"Since you're all looking at me, let me share my thoughts."

At this moment, Kiyokawa Izumi laid his cards on the table.

"I'm wondering, if this demon really hasn't eaten any people, does that mean she's already escaped Muzan's control?"

A demon that is not controlled by Muzan!

"This is such a special being! Do you think it will attract Muzan's attention?"

Kiyokawa Izumi said in a deep voice.

The reason these Pillars shout for battle is not because they are too extreme, but simply because of their stereotypes about demons. As Pillars, they do not believe that there are evil demons in this world that do not eat people.

It was because she already had a judgment in her mind that she felt Tanjiro was favoring his family, and she questioned and did not believe what he said.

But think about it from another angle: what a special existence Nezuko is—is it really such an unforgivable sin to have a demon with you?

There are also many evil spirits kept on that vine-covered mountain.

There was no opposition; they wanted to kill them all!
