Demon Slayer: Muzan, will you dance too?

Shinobu Kocho was dressed very conservatively, wearing a high-necked uniform, with beads of sweat slightly sliding down her cheeks.

From this angle, you can vaguely see Kiyokawa Izumi's snow-white neck as she is pinned to the ground.

You can smell a faint fragrance emanating from the girl.

"Mr. Kiyokawa Izumi, why aren't you saying anything?"

"Actually, asymmetry is also a kind of beauty."

It took Kiyokawa Izumi a long time to finally manage to say, "It looks pretty good this way too."

The faint blue veins on her fair forehead throbbed slightly; such praise could not soothe her petty emotions.

"Mr. Kiyokawa Izumi, you've probably never been liked by a girl, have you? Talking like that will make you disliked."

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, should I have been more direct?"

The girl's cunning finishing touch.

In contrast, Kiyokawa Izumi curled his lip indifferently—"You're kidding, you've never been liked by a girl."

Even back in kindergarten, some little girls said they wanted to marry him when they grew up.

Regardless of whether it's a game or not, his romantic experience, while not extensive, is not nonexistent either.

In comparison, aren't you the one who's a blank slate?

"So, you've had quite a lot of romantic experience? Being popular among the male team members, you must know what kissing feels like, right?"

"Then, could you tell me, this poor guy who's unpopular with girls, in detail?"

"Hey, holding hands and taking a walk with your loved one in the evening must be wonderful, right?"

Kiyokawa Izumi raised an eyebrow and asked defiantly.

Someone as mature as you must have had a lot of experience, right?

Why aren't you saying anything?

Does she not like to talk?

Oh dear, I'm being so direct, you won't hit me, will you?

Upon hearing these words, Shinobu Kocho could no longer maintain her smile, and the veins on her forehead throbbed even more noticeably.

It appears to be a question, but it's actually full of sarcasm.

"So, you're quite experienced?"

"He's definitely more experienced than a certain Pillar... Um, don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about you...maybe it's the Water Pillar?"

Kiyokawa Izumi's eyes had returned to normal. Meeting those sapphire-like pupils, his smile remained unchanged as he continued to zoom in, pressing his face closer.

Then--

"Don't hit me in the face!"

"Ah! I really didn't mean to be sarcastic!"

"I'm talking about Lord Water Pillar! Please don't project your own feelings onto him!"

"A girl as pretty and cute as you must be very popular in the Demon Slayer Corps... Why are you still fighting?"

"Help! The Insect Pillar is abusing the wounded! Himawari, save me!"

……

Kiyokawa Izumi covered her slightly darkened eyes, feeling that someone was being a bit too lenient—why was she so gentle with Tanjiro, but so cruel to herself?

It's just telling the truth, is it really necessary to resort to violence?

Honest men like him are always bullied by cunning and wicked women.

"You really dare to say that, towel!"

Kanzaki Aoi, who had been standing not far away watching, finally came over with a towel in her hand and said in an annoyed tone.

She felt that Kiyokawa Izumi deserved it!

They really dare to say anything.

"Sigh, that's the truth... You were just standing there watching? Didn't you come to my rescue?"

"?"

Kanzaki Aoi had a cold face, as if to say, "Do you think we're old friends?"

After hesitating for a moment, unable to suppress his curiosity, he asked, "Your breathing technique?"

"It's something I created myself; I call it the Breath of Darkness."

Kiyokawa Izumi casually replied, "It's more suitable for the night than the daytime."

"Derived from the breath of water?"

After thinking for a moment, Kiyokawa Izumi shook his head. "Not entirely. There's the influence of water breathing, and also..."

The words were not fully spoken, and there was also the influence of the Sun-Calling.

However, there's no need to tell this person that.

If they don't come to my rescue in my time of need, it's better not to tell them at all!

"What else?"

"Eat, eat!"

Kiyokawa Izumi picked up his Nichirin Blade, dusted himself off, and was about to eat when a certain culprit landed on his shoulder.

"You dare show your face? I bet you'd love for me to get beaten to death! Tell me, who taught you to say that? Is someone trying to frame me?"

The raven tilted its head and looked at him with an expression that said, "I don't understand what you're saying."

Too lazy to bother with this little bastard, Kiyokawa Izumi patted his behind and left.

"Aoi-neechan, do you know where the Flame Pillar's house is?"

"?"

Kanzaki Aoi's lips twitched slightly as she realized that this bastard was very pragmatic; when he needed her, he would call her Aoi or Aoi-neechan.

When they don't need something, they're too lazy to even answer questions!

"What do you think you're doing? Don't you dare do anything reckless!"

"Why are you so wary? I just want to pay a visit and ask some questions about the Breath of Flame."

Kiyokawa Izumi truly had no intention of acting recklessly.

If he were lucky enough to encounter him, he would definitely want to challenge the Flame Pillar—his older brother is good-natured and might accept the challenge.

As for the consultation, that's not a lie either.

His self-created breathing technique is not perfect; he also wants to refer to the Flame Breathing and Thunder Breathing techniques.

Seeing Kiyokawa Izumi deep in thought, Kanzaki Aoi hesitated slightly before simply shaking her head.

It wasn't that she didn't trust him, but she wasn't quite sure where Yan Zhu's family lived.

I guess only Shinobu Kocho knows this.

Having just been beaten up, would you dare to go find that person?
