Demon Slayer: Muzan, will you dance too?

Kiyokawa Izumi slightly raised his chin, looking smug and self-satisfied.

A day ago, you called me Qingchuan Quan, and I didn't argue with you.

But now, what should you call me?

Should we add the word "adult"? As an ordinary team member, shouldn't you show some respect when facing the pillar?

Mind your attitude!

"Don't bully Xiao Kui as soon as you come back. She's worried about you a lot, and so has your Kasugai."

"Shinobu Kocho suddenly appeared behind me and said quietly."

"Insect Pillar, what are you doing here?"

"?"

That sounds a bit strange.

Shinobu Kocho raised her delicate eyebrows slightly and said with a smile, "You can't train secretly until your injury has fully healed."

"Insect Pillar, are you teaching me how to do things?"

Her hands clenched unconsciously beneath her sleeves, and Shinobu Kocho almost lost her smile. Looking at Izumi Kiyokawa, who was slightly raising her chin, she tried to calm herself down and continued speaking.

"Mr. Zhu, please don't train in secret. Although you haven't mastered Total Concentration Breathing yet, these things can't be rushed."

Crit!

"Hmm, perhaps I could consult with the other pillars at the pillar meeting?"

Double the damage!

Qingchuan Spring breaks the defense.

He had just assumed the posture of a pillar when he was ruthlessly exposed by a cunning woman.

So what if I call you Insect Pillar? I'm a Pillar too, and in terms of status, we're equals.

"Oh dear—did I say something wrong? Mr. Kiyokawa Izumi, are you alright?"

Don't be discouraged!

While offering words of comfort, Shinobu Kocho, with a smile in her eyes, seemed to be gloating.

Even Kanzaki Aoi, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but look at him strangely.

Kiyokawa Izumi felt their gazes were offensive!

But he was magnanimous and didn't hold it against these young girls.

Humph,

What a joke! If it weren't for my injury, I could easily handle the small, complete set of breathing exercises.

"Keep trying! Kanao is already trying to blow up a big gourd."

As Shinobu Kocho brushed past me, she tiptoed slightly and gently patted Izumi Kiyokawa's shoulder with an encouraging smile.

This sentence is absolutely killer!

……

"No, why are you following me?"

Kiyokawa Izumi looked at Kanzaki Aoi behind her with some confusion and asked.

"It's because I was afraid you'd secretly train and worsen your injuries that Shinobu Kocho let me follow you."

"Relax, I'm not the kind of fool who would force myself... By the way, do you know where Mizuki lives? I heard it's near headquarters... I wonder if Mizuki is even home."

"?"

Kanzaki Aoi looked at him with a very wary gaze, as if to say, "Are you going to do something reckless again?"

Last time he fought with the Flame Pillar's father, is he planning to fight the Water Pillar this time?

To be fair, the little girl's guess was actually correct.

Kiyokawa Izumi was indeed prepared to fight the water column.

How can you improve your strength without fighting?

The techniques that accompany the breathing method have only been created up to the third form, and this is just the beginning.

With its basic attacks, multi-hit combos, and burst attacks, doesn't it seem like the moves are clearly lacking in defensive skills?

Giyuu's Water Breathing Eleventh Form is quite prestigious.

Facing Upper Moon Three using the Final Style, he managed to block a fatal wound with just a broken sword—although he was still injured, it was still quite impressive to be able to do that.

Letting the other pillars take the hit head-on might not be as effective as Giyuu.

Take Kiyokawa Izumi himself, for example. With just a glare from his Sharingan, the Third Brother wouldn't even need to use his final move; he could defeat him in three to five moves.

The eyes may be able to see it, but the body may not be able to react in time.

The three moves he has mastered may not be effective against Upper Moon.

Take the Three Forms for example; it would probably get killed while being used.

Still want a three-stage burst?

One by the roadside!

Kiyokawa Izumi urgently needs a defensive move.

"We still have to fight!"

"?"

Kiyokawa Izumi's words were astonishing, and not only that, he was also silently calculating the order of events in his mind.

"Hey! Can you stop messing around like that?"

"Xiao Kui, how about we have a fight?"

"?"

Faced with Kiyokawa Izumi's hungry gaze, Kanzaki Aoi instinctively crossed her arms and backed away.

"Hmm... Is Kanao in the backyard right now?"

After observing for a moment, Kiyokawa Izumi decisively put aside his absurd idea—Kui's abilities were limited, and she wouldn't learn anything from her.

With those small arms, legs, and flat chest, his strength is obviously not that great, and his mastery of breathing techniques is also quite average.

Why don't you go find Kanao!

The little girl wasn't very noticeable, and since she didn't like to talk, Kiyokawa Izumi would often overlook her.

But to be fair, Kanao's skills are not bad.

He may not be as strong as a Pillar yet, but he is injured at the moment, so challenging Kanao to a fight wouldn't be considered bullying her.

Although I have carefully observed the breathing rhythm of Flower Breathing, I have never really studied the specific moves.

Although it is a derivative of water breathing, it also has its unique features.

Kiyokawa Izumi, increasingly excited by the thought, turned around to find Kanao.

"Calm down! Don't do anything rash!" Kanzaki Aoi said, gripping Kiyokawa Izumi's arm tightly, unable to contain herself any longer.
