Muzan, Why Are You So Set on Making Things Hard for Yourself?

The children all made their requests, Mash couldn't stand their smugness.

"Cough cough!"

She coughed lightly twice to remind the children to be mindful of the atmosphere.

The children immediately remembered the crucial matter and quickly composed themselves.

"From now on, you must listen to Mash!"

"Yes, we should stay away from that fox."

Yuxian secretly glanced at Mash's expression; the children had been bribed by Mash.

"Migu!"

"I heard someone talking badly about me."

Tamamo no Mae suddenly entered from outside the door.

She made a three-stage dash and instantly arrived beside Yuxian.

"Master, they don't want you anymore, so just go with Little Tamamo."

Yuxian over, and he just wanted to say a few nice words to get through it.

Now that Tamamo no Mae has suddenly appeared and added fuel to the fire, this matter is definitely not over yet.

"No!"

The children suddenly surrounded the two of them, shouting, "Don't go!"

"Didn't you all say you didn't want your Master anymore? Then you can give him to me. I'll definitely treat him well."

Tamamo no Mae said with a smile.

"Oh dear, it's so frustrating not having any snacks to go with the drinks. I wonder if fox meat would be a good match?"

Shuten sipped her wine slowly. Just because she didn't interfere in the children's affairs earlier didn't mean she didn't care.

In fact, she and Minamoto no Raikō had been keeping an eye on the progress here, but they were just quite far away.

Now that Tamamo no Mae appeared, she has something to say.

It was rare for Minamoto no Raikō no Yorimitsu to stand on the same side as Shuten. She shook her head and said, "I heard that fox meat is sour and not tasty."

Tamamo no Mae all, and her smile remained unchanged.

"You're just jealous, I won't stoop to your level."

On the other side, Kiyohime had just peeked out the door when Okita Souji came looking for her with a sword in hand.

The scene was extremely chaotic, and it looked like a major brawl was about to break out.

Faced with such a chaotic situation, Mash couldn't help but cover her face.

"Alright, alright, stop fooling around, everyone be quiet for a bit!"

She felt utterly helpless; this large group of people was really difficult to manage, and they all loved to cause trouble.

With Mash speaking up, everyone realized they weren't really going to fight, and things quickly calmed down. Mash's influence among the Chaldea members was still quite valuable.

In the short time that followed, Tamamo no Mae had already started chatting with Shuten.

They were hostile to each other just a moment ago, but now you can't tell at all.

It's fair to say that none of the people present were serious; Mash was truly miserable.

The group has suddenly grown large again, and there are many more noisy days to come.

After resting for a while, everyone decided to return to Minamoto no Raikō's house first, as it was the best place for them to stay.

Everyone agreed on this; given better options, no one would choose the worse ones.

Along the way, Yuxian rubbed the faces of the children one by one. They dared to scare him together earlier, which was unacceptable; they had to be punished.

"Master, let go! Your face is getting bigger, it won't look good."

The children started begging for mercy.

Yuxian wasn't about to let them off so easily. He asked with a smile, "So, are we still going to interrogate the Master?"

"Huh? Master, what are you talking about? We are your Master bodyguard team."

"Master must be still half asleep, or maybe he's having a nightmare?"

These kids were incredibly skilled at joking and bantering; they spoke as if it were the truth.

The group walked happily along the road, their laughter echoing throughout.

After losing three Upper Moon demons, Muzan Kibutsuji finally realized the seriousness of the situation.

He summoned all the Upper Moon demons in the Infinity Castle, including the newly added Upper Rank Four Nakime, Upper Rank Six Kaigaku.

All five Upper Moon demons were present.

This time, he must take the initiative and not be defeated one by one as before.

Chapter 41, Section 354: Muzan, Why Are You So Desperate?

"Nakime, find out where those people are."

Muzan Kibutsuji ordered Nakime to gather intelligence first.

"Yes, Lord Muzan!"

As Muzan's close attendant, Nakime can create multiple single-eyed clones, making her ideal for locating the Demon Slayer Corps and Yuxian's group.

News of the Blue Spider Lily, Muzan most desired, remained unanswered, as if such an item had never existed in the world.

The doctor who treated him initially left vague notes, and although he never stopped searching, he made no progress.

They have been creating ghosts all along, hoping that one of them would be a ghost that is not afraid of sunlight, but so far nothing has appeared.

Muzan's plan has reached a dead end.

The fact that the Upper Moon demons, who hadn't been replaced for nearly a century, were dying Muzan during this period naturally aroused Muzan's extreme vigilance.

The cloak Nezuko wore was his only remaining hope.

He was no longer willing to wait, Muzan Kibutsuji, who had been hiding since the Heian period, decided to take the initiative this time.

With that cloak, he could walk openly in the world and witness the beauty of the world under the sun.

Muzan couldn't wait any longer; this had always been his wish.

The residence of Minamoto no Raikō.

Tanjiro, Nezuko, and the other two did not return to the base. Their injuries were not serious. After sending back news of killing the two Upper Moon demons, they were ordered to rest in place.

During this rare period of rest, they naturally stayed at Minamoto no Raikō's residence.

Even during their rest periods, they did not forget to continue training themselves, practicing repeatedly in the dojo every day.

Okita Souji would occasionally give Tanjiro some pointers. Although they belonged to different skills, Okita Souji had unique experience in swordsmanship.

After all, he is a once-in-a-century swordsmanship genius, possessing the extraordinary talent of the Tennen Rishin-ryū, Menkyo Kaiden.

Even at a very young age, Okita Souji was already considered one of the three great swordsmen of the Shinsengumi, alongside Nagakura Shinpachi and Saitō Hajime.

She was no stranger to instructing others in swordsmanship; she had also served as a swordsmanship instructor during her time with the Shinsengumi.

Tanjiro has a gentle personality, and Okita Souji has a great liking for him, so she is willing to offer him guidance, which Tanjiro accepts very humbly.

Zenitsu Agatsuma, who possesses the Thunder Breathing, comes into the view of Minamoto no Raikō, who is very willing to guide Zenitsu.

However, Zenitsu would quicken his pace and run away each time. It's true that he likes girls, but that's based on the premise that he hopes to marry them.

Minamoto no Raikō is clearly not among them; Zenitsu wants to find someone to marry, not a mother.

As for fighting, he considered himself too weak and preferred to hide when in danger, having no desire to become stronger.

The other one, Inosuke Hashibira, spends all his time running around in the huge yard.

On the contrary, the children love playing with him the most, chasing each other and having a great time.

And so, the group lived a peaceful and tranquil life, as if the whole world had suddenly become peaceful.

Yuxian under the eaves, watching the children playing happily in the yard, leisurely swinging his legs.

"Mash, are you still angry?"

Mash sat quietly beside him. Compared to Yuxian, who had no manners, Mash's posture was very proper and polite.

"Senior, you should really think about what to do in the future, instead of being so carefree all the time."

Although everyone seems to be getting along well now, Chaldea will definitely become more and more lively as more and more people join.

And all sorts of things are bound to happen in the process. Just thinking about it makes Mash feel annoyed. She really doesn't know how big Yuxian's mind is.

Seeing his nonchalant attitude, Mash didn't know what to say.

"Don't worry, life goes on like this. As long as we find everyone, that's all that matters. As for the rest..."

Yuxian paused for a moment, then said, "There's always a way out, and things will work themselves out!"

Mash was speechless. She decided to stop worrying about it. Since the person in question didn't care, there was no point in her worrying.

As the sun slowly set, the evening glow on the horizon turned a deep red.

Yuxian gazed into the distance and exclaimed, "What a rare and beautiful sunset. Mash, you should really appreciate it; this is the attitude to enjoy life."

"Yes, yes, you're right, senior. I'd better go check if dinner is ready. What's more important than the sunset?"

Mash decided to stop chatting idly with Yuxian and got up to go to the kitchen to check on the progress of today's dinner.

Yuxian smiled and shook his head.

He also wants everyone to get along harmoniously, but is that something he can do?

With so many people in Chaldea, each with a unique personality, forcing things upon them would be undesirable; it's better to let things take their natural course.

As people get to know each other better, they naturally become one big family.

Some disputes and conflicts can be a form of spice in life; as long as they don't cross the line, Yuxian is acceptable.

Nothing in this world is perfect.

The sun finally set completely, the light in the sky slowly faded, and night fell.

"It's time to eat, you guys come back and rest for a bit!"

Yuxian called out to the children from afar, reminding them that dinner was about to begin, and called them back.

"Here it comes!"

What should we eat tonight?

As soon as the children heard it was time to eat, they rushed back without hesitation.

"I'm not a chef, how would I know? You guys go wash up, you'll find out when you get to the restaurant."

Yuxian brushed the dust off the children and took them to wash up.

Buzz!

The world shifted, and in that instant, Yuxian was pulled into a new space.

"What's going on? What's going on?" The children asked, somewhat bewildered.

Everyone who was just doing their own thing was pulled into this unfamiliar place at the same time.

"It's Bounded Field, no, it's similar to Bounded Field."

Everyone who was brought in with Yuxian was together, and soon someone made a judgment.
