Muzan glanced at the corner of his suit that had fallen to the ground.
So many years had passed, and not many people had gotten this close to him. When was the last time he had been like this...?
"Boy, what's your name?
Takeshi waved the sword in his hand, Total Concentration! Breath of Light! First Form: Flash.
The blood in his body was flowing rapidly, and his body temperature suddenly rose.
To deal with Muzan, his speed had to be just as fast as him, so that he could give him a fatal injury.
The woman on the ground came back to her senses, her eyes falling on a thick wooden stick on the ground. She gritted her teeth, grabbed the wooden stick, and charged towards them.
Yatsu and Big Brother were dead, and no matter what, she had to avenge them.
Seeing the woman charging over, Takeshi frowned tightly. He had thrown out the dagger precisely to let her run, but he hadn't expected her to do this.
Pfft, hiss—
Fresh blood spurted from the carotid artery on her neck.
Muzan used his sharp and pointed fingernails, in the blink of an eye, to take the woman's life.
"H-How... You, aren't... a..." person...
She couldn't say the last word, and the person fell in one direction.
Takeshi instinctively reached out to pull her, grabbing the woman's arm, turning his head to look at Muzan behind him, hoping that bastard wouldn't sneak attack him.
He saw Muzan raise his right hand, which was covered in blood, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Boy, we'll meet again next time."
With a leap, his body soared into the air, instantly disappearing into the black night sky.
"Hey!"
Takeshi wanted to chase, but it was too late, and the woman he was holding had already breathed her last, ultimately not escaping the fate of death.
The person was dead, and Muzan had also run away. Takeshi had no choice but to leave the alley and return to the udon noodle stall. Nezuko was still waiting there.
Tanjiro, on the other side, was being entangled by the police officers. At a crucial moment, a strange fragrance appeared, and the scene was filled with petals that made it difficult to see clearly.
It was Lady Tamayo, who was also a demon, and Yushiro, whom she had turned into a demon.
Because of their timely appearance, Tanjiro was able to escape, and the woman who had been bitten by her husband was taken home by Yushiro and them to be treated.
When Tanjiro returned to the udon noodle stall, Nezuko was sleeping soundly, using Senior Aoyama's lap as a pillow.
Before he could even ask about what had happened later, the udon noodle boss - Boss Yutaka - rushed in front of him with a look of rage.
"Listen up! Listen carefully! What I want to say isn't about the money!"
"What I can't forgive is that your udon noodles got cold, and you didn't come back to eat them!!!"
Tanjiro was stunned by the shout, and finally his eyes fell on Senior Aoyama, wondering if the udon noodles had gotten cold when Senior Aoyama came back.
"Don't look at me. When I came back, it wasn't too hot, and it wasn't too cold, it was just right!"
Tanjiro sighed. As expected, he had come back too late, and that's why he was being yelled at by Boss Yutaka until his head was spinning.
He clasped his hands together. "I'm very sorry, please make me a bowl of udon noodles again! No, make me two bowls."
Takeshi, touching Nezuko's hair, curled his lips. Tanjiro was such an honest simpleton. The bowls were so big, eating two bowls would make his stomach bulge.
In the darkness, Kibutsuji Muzan, hidden in the darkness, fell into a bad memory...
Hanafuda earrings were on his ear...
The person who had pushed him to the brink in the past also had hanafuda earrings on his ear, exactly the same as the ones that the other boy he saw today was wearing.
He snapped his fingers crisply, and two dark shadows appeared behind him, kneeling behind Muzan.
Muzan, with his back to these two demons, one male and one female, ordered in a serious voice, "Bring me the head of that demon slayer who is wearing hanafuda earrings."
His blood-red eyes glanced slightly backward. "Also, bring back the head of the boy who was with him! Understand?"
The one with the hanafuda earrings and the boy who had injured him not long ago shouldn't continue to exist.
"As you command!"
"Following your orders."
The two demons flashed and disappeared into the darkness.
Those earrings... even now, Muzan himself couldn't forget them...
Tanjiro devoured two bowls of udon noodles, and Mr. Yutaka on the side was stunned. However, seeing that someone loved the udon noodles he made so much, he was also very happy.
"Thank you for the meal, it was very delicious!"
Mr. Yutaka felt like he had met a kindred spirit, nodding repeatedly. "I'm glad you understand, I'm glad you understand."
The two people's conversation woke up the sleeping Nezuko. Mr. Yutaka, in his excitement, wanted to make a bowl for Nezuko too, to let her try it.
Takeshi raised a hand, stopping Mr. Yutaka.
"Making another bowl is fine, Tanjiro really likes udon noodles, he can eat another bowl, no problem!"
"R-Really? You can still eat more?" Mr. Yutaka turned his head towards Tanjiro, his eyes shining.
Tanjiro put his hand on his round belly. He really couldn't eat another bite.
"Senior Takeshi!!! You tricked me again!!!"
Takeshi felt that he hadn't tricked him this time. Letting his junior brother eat more was his care as a senior brother for his junior brother. How could that be tricking him?
