Demon Slayer: Muzan, will you dance too?

"Is that girl still around?"

Kiyokawa Izumi, dressed in a blue yukata, came out and couldn't help but ask the old woman when she met her.

"Is that the petite girl? She just came out of the bath..."

The withered, branch-like hand pointed towards the distance.

"Look, it's right there."

Kiyokawa Izumi was slightly taken aback, not noticing for a moment.

"It's so relaxing, my whole body is just letting loose..."

After reflecting on it, Kiyokawa Izumi realized that the problem wasn't entirely his fault.

The main reason is that she wasn't wearing her signature haori or the Demon Slayer Corps's exclusive uniform.

It's normal not to recognize someone immediately.

The girl was wearing a cherry-red yukata that didn't fit her quite well, and her cheeks were flushed, as if the heat of the hot spring hadn't yet faded from her skin.

Her damp hair was matted together, and beads of sweat slid down her pink neck. She seemed a little troubled at the moment, as her small stature couldn't fill out the oversized bathrobe, and she seemed to be hesitating about whether to change into another one.

But what she didn't know was that this was already the smallest yukata available here.

"call--"

Kiyokawa Izumi sat down next to Kocho Shinobu, gently exhaling a breath of warm air, finally feeling relieved.

Fortunately.

Sister Ren isn't that inhuman.

I didn't leave myself all alone.

Thinking back on what I did, perhaps I should be more restrained next time I tease her.

He glanced at it out of the corner of his eye and was momentarily lost in thought.

The Demon Slayer Corps uniforms are loose and baggy, so even if someone has a good physique, they can't show it off.

In addition, her clothing style is extremely conservative, so in terms of visual impact, she certainly cannot compare with Love Pillar.

After putting on a regular yukata, her slender figure and beautiful curves were on full display.

If you say she has long legs, Kiyokawa Izumi would be the first to disagree.

How could someone so petite have such long legs?

For some reason, I suddenly remembered Hua Li Ge's evaluation of Shinobu Kocho - she was indeed the type who had an easy delivery.

You can question Hua Li Ge's skills, but you can't question his aesthetic sense.

With three beautiful wives, each with a distinct personality, he stands far above everyone else.

There's a saying, isn't there?

I envy neither mandarin ducks nor immortals, but only the sound pillar every day.

There are some things that you can still envy, even if you've died once.

Kiyokawa Izumi is quite envious of Hua Li Ge.

But this doesn't mean he has such thoughts.

Life is short, one is enough.

"Mr. Kiyokawa Izumi, aren't you worried that the team members aren't training properly?"

Seeing someone's gaze fall upon her, Butterfly couldn't help but smile and ask.

"What's there to worry about? Aren't there Yiyong?"

Most team members are proficient in water breathing, so isn't it appropriate to have them guided by the water jets?

After saying this, Kiyokawa Izumi didn't forget to ask the old woman for two bowls of udon noodles.

Perhaps because the clothes were too ill-fitting, they always felt loose and baggy on her. After trying to adjust them several times, Shinobu Kocho had no choice but to give up.

Stop fiddling with your clothes!

Kiyokawa Izumi really wanted to say that, but he didn't dare.

I was afraid that this person would interpret it as mockery.

Actually, there was no intention to mock at all.

She's small in stature, but very cute.

"Mr. Kiyokawa Izumi, you've worked very hard. Could you tell me why?"

While waiting for the two bowls of udon noodles, Shinobu Kocho looked at Izumi Kiyokawa and suddenly asked seriously.

I couldn't sense any anger from this person.

Joining the Demon Slayer Corps doesn't seem to stem from hatred of demons.

He wasn't that respectful to his lord either.

During the Pillars Meeting, even when someone mentioned Muzan, he didn't show the slightest change in expression.

So, Shinobu Kocho was very curious about why this person was working so hard.

Is it simply because of a sense of responsibility?

Kiyokawa Izumi gave her a completely different feeling from Yanzhu. He was not the kind of overly enthusiastic and sunny young man, nor did he have a flame burning in his heart called protection.

"Of course it's because I'm afraid of dying. Demons are so terrifying, and I'm incredibly timid, so I have no choice but to increase my strength."

"Two bowls of udon noodles!"

The old woman handed them two bowls of noodles, looking at them with a smile, as if she were looking at a young couple.

Feeling rather uncomfortable, Shinobu Kocho slightly twisted her body, trying to avoid the old man's misunderstanding gaze.

In contrast, Kiyokawa Izumi was much more composed.

It was just a misunderstanding; I've experienced this kind of thing many times in my past lives.

There is no need for further explanation.

Why not try the udon noodles instead?

After a brief silence, Shinobu Kocho did not continue the previous topic, because she sensed that she was being treated perfunctorily.

"Another bowl, please!"

Just two minutes later, Kiyokawa Izumi raised his right hand and shouted.

Anyway, he doesn't have to pay.

He's at an age where he's growing, so it's normal for him to eat a little more.

……

It was already evening when they left. Shinobu Kocho, who had put her team uniform back on, finally looked normal and stopped fiddling with her loose clothes.

Just as I was about to leave, I noticed that Kiyokawa Izumi was suddenly standing still.

Following his gaze, a staggering figure could be seen not far away.

She was wearing a loose, dark-colored kimono and walked with a slightly unsteady gait, holding a sake bottle in her left hand.

"It's the former Flame Pillar..."

Kiyokawa Izumi's eyes darted around. Always eager to help, he was about to step forward to "assist" when he was pulled away by the person next to him.

"Wait! I won't do anything reckless! I'm just worried about his safety alone..."
