Soon it was the third day after Rokuro's death.
Nothing happened during that time.
It was far calmer than Ivan had imagined. Sure enough, Muzan was still the same old Muzan. He only cared about a few select Lower Ranks.
The rest were disposable tools to him, cheap products he could make with a drop of blood. So he didn't care about Lower Rank Two's death. In fact, what made him angry was how useless the Lower Ranks had proven to be.
"Mr. Urokodaki? Caw! Mr. Urokodaki, are you home?"
A black crow flew in from the distance, flapping its wings and pecking at the wooden house's window with its beak.
"Damn it! Slow down! Wait for me!" A figure in black clothing ran desperately behind the crow. His short black hair with a center part was ruffled by the breeze. The Demon Slayer uniform on his body was soaked with sweat.
He held onto the white belt at his waist where his sword hung and waved for the crow to slow down.
Whew… Finally made it.
Mount Sagiri was really far.
"Mr. Urokodaki isn't home?" Seeing no answer after the crow pecked at the door, he scratched his head. But then he accidentally spotted Mukago shrinking under a tree's shade to avoid the sunlight.
"L… Lower Rank Four!"
Murata's face turned deathly pale. He pointed at Mukago with a trembling voice.
This… wasn't this the former Water Hashira's retirement home? Why was there a Lower Rank here? Could it be…
Mr. Urokodaki… you died so tragically! I'll definitely tell the leader so he can avenge you. Assuming I can escape first.
Extremely nervous, Murata drew his Nichirin sword and pointed the tip at Mukago.
"I… I'm a swordsman of the Demon Slayer Corps. I can't just think about running away."
"Are you here looking for someone?"
However, the attack he imagined didn't happen. The demon under the tree shade shrank her head, looking completely harmless.
Suddenly Murata seemed to understand something.
"I get it. You must be afraid of sunlight so you're hiding under the tree and don't dare attack me. Stop pretending. You demon. You think acting all innocent will fool me?! I, Murata, won't fall for it!"
In that instant, Murata felt the sunlight on his body was so warm, so safe.
"I'm not hungry right now. Why would I attack you?"
Mukago had no concept of the word "demon" and didn't think she had become one. She was just Mukago, who had to eat when she got hungry.
"See! You're still exposed. You must have eaten Mr. Urokodaki and the others. That's why you're not hungry."
"Idiot. Idiot." The black crow that had flown over pecked Murata's head with its beak.
"Aaaah!! Damn it, Karasu, if you keep being rude to your master I'll roast you!"
Murata flailed his arms in anger. He reached out to grab the crow but couldn't catch Karasu no matter what.
"Idiot. Caw. Idiot."
Karasu dodged Murata's swinging hands and took the chance to peck him again. "Caw, caw, caw…"
Its voice was full of mockery.
Suddenly it stopped. Its black eyes looked toward a dirt path in the forest.
"Mr. Urokodaki is coming. Caw! What are you doing! Let go of me!"
Murata, who had just grabbed Karasu, instinctively turned to look.
He really did see Mr. Urokodaki, along with a red-haired boy and a tall man wearing a brown suit and fitted pants. The man's brown suit was naturally open, revealing the white shirt underneath.
This guy had an amazing body. Even his clothes couldn't hide those muscle lines.
And what were those patterns on his neck?
Murata didn't recognize the marks. Not just him, many Demon Slayers and demons didn't. The reason Mukago and Rokuro knew about them was purely by chance.
They had been summoned to the Infinity Castle and accidentally saw the patterns on Kokushibo's body. Because of what they were thinking, Muzan noticed and casually mentioned it.
It was at that moment they learned Muzan could read their thoughts.
Of course, as a newcomer, Kamanue hadn't experienced any of that. So he naturally didn't know Muzan could see into his mind. That was why in the original story he got purged by Muzan for his inner thoughts.
"Mr. Urokodaki, you're not dead?"
"Have you been in contact with Giyu again lately?"
"How did you know, sir? I just finished a demon-slaying mission with Master Giyu. I thought I could rest a bit, but the leader sent me to Mount Sagiri again."
Seeing Mr. Urokodaki safe and sound, Murata immediately felt much more relaxed.
"By the way, why is there a Lower Rank Four here? Aren't you afraid of exposing Mount Sagiri's location?" Murata voiced his confusion.
"As long as you're far enough from Muzan, he can only sense a demon's general direction and location. Unless he specifically comes looking for Mukago, the chances of Mount Sagiri being exposed aren't high."
"Besides, we won't be staying at Mount Sagiri for long."
Ivan answered his question.
"What if he really does come?" Murata always felt this man in front of him gave off an incredibly strong oppressive feeling.
"Do you think with Muzan's personality he would personally come looking for a Lower Rank? At most he'd send an Upper Rank to investigate Rokuro's death. He doesn't even care if the Lower Ranks die."
Since Ivan kept the marks active at all times, the breath he exhaled was hot. It was no wonder the pressure was so strong.
"You're the mysterious person the leader mentioned?"
Murata turned his gaze to Ivan.
Ivan stayed silent for a few seconds. He hadn't expected Kagaya Ubuyashiki to be able to sense his existence. Was it thanks to that future sight ability of his that was basically superpowers?
"What else did he say?" Ivan suddenly realized that Muzan's regeneration ability might not be the biggest treasure in Demon Slayer.
This ability to see the future might be even more valuable.
"The leader also said he can't see the direction of your future. In events you participate in, he can only see scattered fragments. And the leader instructed me to bring you to his residence. He very much wants to meet you." Murata repeated everything Kagaya Ubuyashiki had told him.
He could only see scattered fragments.
Ivan frowned. If Kagaya Ubuyashiki's superpower only worked in the Demon Slayer world, then there was no need to fuse it.
But he would only know what the ability was really like after parsing it.
"This is the uniform and Nichirin sword prepared for you, sir."
Murata undid the strangely shaped package on his back and handed it to Ivan.
After opening it, there was a Demon Slayer uniform inside. On the back of the black uniform was a white character for "Destroy." Besides that, there was a piece of scarlet ore and a black Nichirin sword.
