Demon Slayer: Muzan, will you dance too?

"Is the training very rigorous?"

Kiyokawa Izumi looked at Agatsuma Zenitsu, who looked timid and cowardly, without showing any disdain. He simply asked in a gentle voice.

The boy had short, golden-yellow hair, and perhaps due to being struck by lightning, his round eyebrows and eyes were also the same golden-yellow color as his hair.

Zenitsu at this time wasn't exactly that powerful.

They're probably at the level of an average player.

It might be slightly stronger, but not by much.

Zenitsu, dressed in a yellow kimono with triangular patterns, was speechless at that moment.

Because he didn't want to embarrass his grandfather.

He was afraid that if he said the training was too tough and he couldn't keep going, it would make his grandfather lose face.

He didn't mind being looked down upon, but being kind-hearted, he didn't want to embarrass his grandfather as well.

"He has great potential and will be an excellent Thundercaller."

To Zenitsu's utter surprise, this unfamiliar Pillar actually praised his cowardice.

I felt lightheaded all over, a feeling I had never experienced before.

"Want to train with me? It's very easy. It's just that you don't sleep all day. First, you train the basics for half a day, then you train your physical fitness for half a day, and in the evening you train breathing techniques and sparring."

Go fight those demons who have mastered blood demon arts. As long as you don't die, you'll definitely improve a lot!

"?"

What is he saying?

Is that even human language?

There's no time to rest, it's all about fighting besides training... I'm sure I'll die, right?

"Zenitsu will definitely be fine!"

The old man nodded repeatedly, seemingly very satisfied with the training.

"We can't waste the daytime, and we also have plans for the evening... As for sleeping... I can sleep for half an hour in the early morning, what do you think?"

Kiyokawa Izumi had a kind smile, but his words were unusually cruel.

How can half an hour of sleep be enough?

Zenitsu quickly broke free and silently returned to his grandfather's side.

"Grandpa, I suddenly feel that training with the official team members suits me better!"

After saying that, he turned and ran away.

If I stayed any longer, I was afraid that this stranger would grab me and take me to training.

That kind of training would absolutely kill you!

"This child is very talented."

The old man naturally saw that Kiyokawa Izumi was trying to scare Zenitsu, but he didn't expose him; instead, he cooperated quite well.

"He will be an excellent Thundercaller, that's my honest opinion, not a lie."

After a slight hesitation, Kiyokawa Izumi continued, "Would I have the chance to learn some Thunder Breathing from you sometime?"

The old man silently lowered his head, looking at his broken leg, and really wanted to ask, "Is your request for advice a discussion or a friendly exchange?"

Of course, he didn't refuse; the old man still admired this generation of pillars.

After saying goodbye to his ex-boyfriend, the Naruto, Kiyokawa Izumi didn't ask about the scumbag's situation.

I simply didn't take that guy seriously.

I don't want to get involved in this kind of trouble.

Kaigaku is a complete scumbag. He has crossed paths with the current Stone Pillar—before joining the Demon Slayer Corps, the Stone Pillar was a monk who raised a group of children.

Among them is Kaigaku in his childhood.

Because of his repeated thefts, the other children secretly drove him away from the rock pillar.

After leaving the temple, he encountered a demon at night. To save his life and seek revenge, he led the demon to the right path and extinguished the wisteria incense burner that was burning outdoors.

This behavior indirectly led to Yanzhu's later wrongful imprisonment.

This complete scumbag acted as if nothing had happened and went on to become a disciple of the former Naruto.

Who can blame him for having such a good mentor?

Kiyokawa Izumi even felt that even if the mistakes he had made were exposed, the old man Naruhashi who had adopted him would be willing to believe him one more time.

He might even commit seppuku to vouch for him.

I implore my lord and the Demon Slayer Corps to give him another chance.

The older generation of pillars were indeed very good people.

Doing this is neither outrageous nor exaggerated.

After all, weren't both previous and current Water Pillars willing to vouch for the evil spirit? To those unaware of the details, this behavior is quite outrageous.

Knowing all this, Kiyokawa Izumi was unwilling to get involved—otherwise, after all the effort of expelling that scum from the Demon Slayer Corps, he would encounter the former Naruhashi committing seppuku to vouch for him, begging everyone to trust Kaigaku one more time.

He would feel disgusted if he actually encountered this situation.

Instead of all this fancy stuff, why not just stab him when no one's around? Wouldn't physical elimination be simpler?

Of course, Kiyokawa Izumi wouldn't bother to plan these things.

No one will blame him for slaying evil spirits.

But if it's murder, even if he's a Pillar, it's unacceptable not to provide a reasonable explanation.

Once exposed, he would also offend the former Pillar for no reason—the old man might come after him to fight to the death. How could he tolerate the injustice of his beloved disciple being killed?

There are no benefits to be seen, but a whole host of risks.

This is why Kiyokawa Izumi was unwilling to get involved.

Just then, the sound of metal clashing suddenly rang in my ears.

That was the sound of the Nichirin swords colliding with each other.

Who's fighting in the Butterfly Mansion?

Don't you know whose territory this is?

"Sure, both sides are very strong..."

Kiyokawa Izumi could tell from the sound alone that the two people who fought were quite strong—shouldn't he go and see what was going on?
