Demon Slayer: Muzan, will you dance too?

At sixteen, Kiyokawa Izumi sat quietly at the end of the table, silently muttering to himself.

"You can't see me...you can't see me!"

"cough--"

The discomfort in his lungs caused a slight cough, and under the gaze of countless oppressive eyes, Kiyokawa Izumi lowered his head slightly, not daring to meet their eyes.

I always felt out of place with these people.

"Hey! What are you all staring at me for? Haven't you ever seen a newcomer before?"

"Huh, the Love Pillar hasn't become a Pillar yet? It seems my older brother only recently became a Pillar too..."

"Wait, haven't you ever seen a newcomer before? Why are you staring at me like that? Wind Pillar, your gaze is incredibly offensive! This is blatant workplace bullying!"

"The boy from Qingchuan is truly remarkable!"

A hearty laugh broke the eerie silence. Kyojuro patted Kiyokawa Izumi's shoulder forcefully; he too had been taken aback when he first heard the news.

Kiyokawa Izumi silently moved closer to Kocho Shinobu, but unfortunately, the latter was too petite to block his view completely.

No one spoke, and after the laughter ended, there was an eerie silence again.

The Serpent Pillar sat on the tree, looking down at Kiyokawa Izumi, lost in thought.

Fengzhu, sitting cross-legged, had a direct and aggressive gaze. Although he didn't say anything, there was a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Shuizhu stood alone in the distance, appearing taciturn and withdrawn.

The burly Stone Pillar silently shed tears, his large hands constantly rubbing together his prayer beads. "Another new Pillar has become... The Demon Slayer Corps' strength has grown even stronger."

Xiazhu looked up at the clouds on the horizon, appearing indifferent to everything—he was the youngest among them and had not yet regained his memories.

Hua Li didn't say anything fancy, but just looked at him and Insect Pillar with a strange look—why are these two so close?

"cough--"

Unable to hold it in, he coughed softly again.

"Have some water!"

A fair right hand offered a small water bottle, which Qingchuan Quan subconsciously took and began to drink from, while shifting his body uncomfortably.

There are always eyes watching you, whether directly or indirectly.

Can't these guys watch something else?

The sky is so blue, the clouds are so white, aren't they more attractive than a grown man like him?

At the age of sixteen, Kiyokawa Izumi sat restlessly in front of the headquarters courtyard.

Of course, this is all an illusion.

He lowered his head slightly, and his blood-red Sharingan appeared in an instant. The jet-black orb spun rapidly in his pupils as he eagerly observed the breathing rhythm of the others.

This place is simply a treasure!

There is so much to learn!

He wished he could fight the other eight pillars right now, preferably from morning till tomorrow night.

"What are you looking at?"

Kiyokawa Izumi turned to look at Shinazugawa Sanemi and asked curiously.

"This guy has an incredibly bad temper and is easily agitated. What if he starts a fight with me right here?"

"There are many things we can learn from the Wind Pillar!"

"What's so shameful about it? Being last is fine, we're just ordinary people anyway."

Sanemi Shinazugawa's lips twitched noticeably as he took a deep breath.

Somewhat surprisingly, he quietly looked away and stopped staring at Kiyokawa Izumi.

"..."

Wait a minute, shouldn't this guy say something like "What are you looking at?"

Then, question his abilities on the spot.

You haven't even mastered the complete set of the Changzhong, so what makes you think you can be on equal footing with us?

In this way, it would be perfectly logical for them to have a fight!

Kiyokawa Izumi, who was somewhat confused about how the situation was developing, suddenly heard Hua Li speaking in incomprehensible words.

"You have such beautiful eyes, young man!"

With her high emotional intelligence, Yin Zhu resolved a slightly awkward atmosphere with just one sentence.

Everyone's attention was focused on Kiyokawa Izumi's eyes, and they all had different thoughts.

It's not surprising enough.

Ultimately, it's just a pair of special eyes.

Isn't the Serpent Pillar's heterochromatic eyes quite unique?

"Uncle, you look very stylish too!"

Kiyokawa Izumi casually replied, "Whatever you say, just add something gorgeous and you're good to go with it."

"M... Uncle?"

Arms crossed, Uzui Tengen was completely bewildered. "Listen up! I am Uzui Tengen, the god of magnificent celebrations!"

Although he was a bit immature and unserious, and didn't seem like a good person, he was also the first senior to introduce his identity to the newcomer.

Kiyokawa Izumi glanced at him, having just contracted a disease that made her unwilling to speak to a man with three beautiful wives.

It's a terminal illness, not because of envy.

He was poked hard in the left side. "Well then, let me just give a brief self-introduction. I am Kiyokawa Izumi, an unknown nobody."

"What an unimpressive introduction!"

Uzui Tengen shook his head as he listened, unable to resist making a sarcastic remark.

It lacks any imposing presence!

Where did you get such an introduction?

Young man, that won't do. You need to be as glamorous as me!

"Butterfly, you seem to know him quite well?"

Noticing this, Uzui Tengen couldn't help but ask.

"Mr. Kiyokawa Izumi is a frequent visitor to the Butterfly Mansion."

"Yeah?"

Facing the smiling Shinobu Kocho, Tengen Uzui seemed lost in thought.

Good morning, my children...

Just then, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, being helped out, slowly walked out.
