The atmosphere on the mountaintop was rather awkward. Muzan looked at Nameless Hunter, who sat on the ground as though everything were perfectly natural, then at Kokushibo, who was contemplating his demon existence. He could only break the silence himself:
"So... Nameless Hunter, why exactly did you rush me into reviving Kokushibo and insist on bringing him here...?"
Nameless Hunter thought for a moment, then pointed toward where the Sapphire Star had disappeared with Doma's mangled body:
"Because it's time. We need to follow her to the Butterfly Mansion." He paused, then pointed at Kokushibo.
"We need to get Shinobu Kocho's poison and a sample of the Reversal Drug Tamayo developed. We have to get both of those things into our own hands. We can't let them keep holding the reins of our fate!"
He looked at Kokushibo and explained, "As for why we had to bring you, elder brother... out of everyone in the Infinity Castle, you know the most about the Demon Slayer Corps' internal affairs, including the distribution of their bases, their personnel, and even details of their buildings. Your experience is essential for infiltrating somewhere like the Butterfly Mansion."
Kokushibo considered this. "...Infiltrate?... The Demon Slayer Corps' organization... has undergone countless major changes... over four hundred years..."
Nameless Hunter rolled his eyes. "What else would we do? Charge straight in? There's at least one Hashira stationed at the Butterfly Mansion, with swordsmen patrolling outside. We don't even know exactly where it is. Are we supposed to run around like headless chickens? Or..." He pitched his voice higher and said with infuriating cheek:
"Heeey~ we're here to steal your stuff~ Just get right in their faces like that? We'd probably be chopped into pieces and sent off to our next lives a second later!"
After listening, Muzan
