You must be mistaken, hehe…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can’t tell her— if Kanae and Mitsuri found out, they’d worry again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Really?

It sounds weird… I’d rather you just use my name.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Weird?” Koyoharu Gotouji bristled at that—ever since her sister got together with Zero, she barely came back to Butterfly House!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a month, she only returned once or twice; the rest of the time, she stayed at Zero’s mansion, just like Mitsuri.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even eating, sleeping, and training—all done there!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How can you even say that?!

There are still people here! Mind your surroundings!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? My little sister Koyoharu, so sorry~ Hehe~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Koyoharu Gotouji sighed helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, a plan formed in her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She smiled—dark and cunning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehe, this is what you deserve, Brother-in-law~ I’ve been worried about finding someone to test my new medicine on—I wonder if you’ll keep your sanity under its effects? Hehe~” Koyoharu Gotouji thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the Hashira crow, Yuki, flew over and landed on Zero’s shoulder. “Master, the Head has something to discuss with you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood.

I’ll ask Makito-san to patrol your region.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ubuyashiki Kagaya smiled wryly. “Muzan Kibutsuji now hates you with every fiber of his being—but knowing his nature, he’ll hide again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We’ve finally caught a glimpse of his tail—I won’t let go!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True enough—he’d fallen into the Infinite Castle twice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially the second time—he walked right in himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Part of Ubuyashiki Kagaya even felt sorry for Muzan Kibutsuji—why pick anyone else, but Zero?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet he had no way to deal with Zero!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh… I didn’t even hit him that hard…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t hit him that hard…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ubuyashiki Kagaya: …\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ubuyashiki Amane: …\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside them, Ubuyashiki Amane heard these words and felt something strange inside—she still remembered how, two years ago, when Zero first eliminated an Upper Moon demon, he had said the exact same thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s just eliminating an Upper Moon demon—no need to get so worked up…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sigh… fine, I’ll listen to you. For now, I won’t take on any missions, so I can spend more time with Kanao and Mitsuri.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zero knew what Ubuyashiki Kagaya was worried about, so he simply agreed with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s excellent.” Seeing Zero finally agree, Ubuyashiki Kagaya sighed in relief—he feared that if Zero kept acting like this, Muzan Kibutsuji might hide away again for another few hundred years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Ubuyashiki Kagaya could sense that Zero had changed greatly; when he first met him, Zero’s eyes held only coldness, indifferent to everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, both his temperament and heart had improved considerably—he showed more care for people and even a touch of humor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【One more chapter and we’ll reach the beginning of Tanjiro’s storyline. Let me clarify: although my novel isn’t very good—it’s even a bit trashy, and I’m fully aware of that—I’ll keep trying! The updates are slow because I’m simultaneously updating two novels, and each chapter is a bit longer than usual; exactly how much longer, you can check the table of contents to see.
