Because of Muzan's bloody policies and the distorted emotions of the demons themselves, the relationships between the demons were not very good. Even when Wakuraba discovered members of the Demon Slayer Corps, he didn't inform other demons, choosing to stake them out himself.
The scumbag Boss also brought scumbag employees. Some demons liked to slack off, some liked to hone their martial arts, and some were madly obsessed with Muzan. With so many demons created, few were dedicated to helping Muzan work.
Kisaragi Rin took Black Sun and Ukogi to search for traces of demons, and then led the two back to his residence.

Equipment - Shuriken of Dead Water

Bonus: Agility +2

"I'll have to ask Tengen Uzui if he's from the Sound Ninja Village when I get back."
Paradise Coins: 944
Kisaragi Rin picked up the rapidly increasing Paradise Coins and began to upgrade Wind Breathing.
Lv4
Fourth Form: Rising Dust Storm!
Lv5
Fifth Form: Cold Autumn Mountain Wind!
[Your Wind Breathing has reached Lv5, special effects are being generated]
[Subsequent experiences and material additions will affect the output of Skill special effects]
[Do you wish to continue upgrading? If so, Wind Breathing will immediately generate special effects]
"No."
He had only been learning Wind Breathing for two days, so generating special effects immediately would likely not produce any excellent results.
Seeing Zenitsu Agatsuma, Kisaragi Rin already knew where to find the materials for Wind Breathing.
"Lord Kisaragi Rin is so strong!"
Murata completely failed to understand how Kisaragi Rin discovered Lower Moon Four in a few seconds and then quickly killed him.
Murata was a little emotional, even changing to "Lord Kisaragi Rin" when referring to Kisaragi Rin.
"Since I'm here, aren't you leaving? Mount Natagumo could become a battlefield at any moment."
Kisaragi Rin asked curiously.
Murata scratched his head and encouraged himself, saying, "I know that an ordinary swordsman like me can't help much with Demon Slayer, but I can help transmit some messages. At least someone needs to record Lord Kisaragi Rin's achievements in slaying demons."
"Though you say that, if a demon captures you as a hostage, then you'll have to bet on whether my blade is fast enough."
"If that moment comes, Lord Kisaragi Rin, please do not concern yourself with my existence."
Murata looked at Kisaragi Rin, saying this with a trembling voice, clearly not as calm as he appeared.
After all, in the face of life and death, how many can truly accept it? To dare to stay here can indeed be called a true man.
"Don't worry, with your luck, that moment won't come."
Kisaragi Rin didn't take this matter to heart.
Murata was a bit confused, not knowing what Kisaragi Rin meant by "luck."
"Then what about this swordsman? Why are you staying here?"
Kisaragi Rin turned to look at Zenitsu Agatsuma.
Zenitsu Agatsuma's eyes were filled with killing intent, and he spoke words Kisaragi Rin had expected: "My name is Zenitsu Agatsuma, and I am here to kill the traitor Kaigaku."
When Zenitsu Agatsuma's gaze became resolute, he didn't even pay attention to the Spider Demon in Kisaragi Rin's arms.
Then there was no doubt: his senior brother Kaigaku had voluntarily become a demon, and his grandfather had already committed seppuku to atone.
In the original work, after several Upper Moons among the Twelve Kizuki died, Kaigaku voluntarily joined the Twelve Kizuki, becoming Upper Moon Six, and was later killed by Zenitsu Agatsuma alone.
However, now, Zenitsu Agatsuma had not undergone the various trials of the protagonist group, so he was probably not fully developed yet.
"Then let's wait until night."
It was daytime now, and Kisaragi Rin didn't want to make a move casually.
Firstly, demons were hard to find during the day, and Kisaragi Rin didn't want to waste that effort.
Secondly, if a demon touched the sun, it would instantly turn to ash, and there might be an unexpected situation during battle where he couldn't collect the body, reducing his gains.
Kisaragi Rin found a place and sat down casually, waiting for night to fall.
Thinking Kisaragi Rin was waiting for news of demons, Murata and Zenitsu Agatsuma also silently walked to the side to polish their nichirin blades.
—
Kisaragi Rin had indeed overestimated Wakuraba.
Because they were directly teleported to Mount Natagumo by Nakime, the Lower Moons didn't know that Muzan had sent out an Upper Moon again.
So they looked at each other blankly, exchanged a few trash talks, and then dispersed.
Except for Nezuko, Lower Moon Six, everyone else ranked higher than Lower Moon Five. In the absence of battle, they didn't feel they were weaker than the Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps.
Moreover, they were told to find the killer of Lower Moon Five, but Lower Moon Five had been dead for a day, so who knew where that swordsman had gone?
In the Infinite City, they didn't even dare to have a hint of rebellious thought. After leaving, who would discover them slacking off and eating people…
Kaigaku was once a Demon Slayer Corps swordsman, so he naturally knew the power gap between Lower Moons and Pillars.
Although the Stone Pillar, whom he feared most, was dead, the remaining ones were not to be trifled with.
The current Flame Pillar had killed the previous Lower Moon Two, and the current Wind Pillar had killed the previous Lower Moon One…
Originally, Kaigaku also wanted to avoid this place like Nezuko, but what he didn't expect was that Daki caught him.
"If your Blood Demon Art wasn't somewhat useful, an ugly freak like you should have just died earlier."
Being insulted by Daki like this, Kaigaku could only suppress the killing intent in his heart and obediently accept Daki's orders.
His Blood Demon Art could cause damaged wounds to continuously tear, and if not treated, even a small wound could split a person in half.
It was practically a special attack against those swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps, but unfortunately, its effect was not too good against demons who could instantly recover from wounds.
"What's so strong about the Demon Slayer Corps' Pillars? I've already killed several. When the mission is completed, Lord Muzan will definitely restore me to my Upper Moon position!"
Daki applied heavy makeup to her face, admiring herself in the mirror.
Kaigaku squatted to the side, secretly slandering: As a former Upper Moon, she had only killed a few Pillars, no wonder she was kicked out of the Upper Moon position by Lord Muzan.
But at least she was a former Upper Moon. Following her should keep him out of danger, right?
Just then, a crow flew outside the house, tilting its head and looking this way.
"Kasugai Crow?"
Kaigaku shouted in confusion.
Daki, having accidentally smudged her lipstick, turned around in displeasure and glared at Kaigaku.
Kaigaku forcibly endured Daki's foul mouth and pointed to the Kasugai Crow still peering in from outside the door.
Daki looked with a sidelong glance and said disdainfully, "Are you blind and stupid? A Kasugai Crow of the Demon Slayer Corps would have gone back to report as soon as it saw a demon. This is just an ordinary crow."
"Do you have a brain?! I'm a traitor to the Demon Slayer Corps! How could I not know what a Kasugai Crow looks like?!"
Calling him ugly was one thing, since he did become a bit ugly after turning into a demon, but now she was slandering his eyesight.
What was there to endure? Kaigaku couldn't take it anymore.
Ukogi, outside the door, was trying hard to overcome her social anxiety. After much hesitation, she still entered the house and calmly asked in a mechanical voice, "Excuse me, are you demons?"
Daki: "…"
Kaigaku: "…"
"It really is a Kasugai Crow from the Demon Slayer Corps!"
Daki, who was about to get angry at Kaigaku's insults, only reacted when she heard the crow speak.
Conversely, Kaigaku began to question himself: With such a bad brain, it shouldn't be a Kasugai Crow from the Demon Slayer Corps, right?
