Muzan Kibutsuji clearly saw Daki attack the Demon Slayer in the middle.
Then he clearly saw the wind pressure from that man's sword swing scatter the dust, revealing his face.
It was Yoriichi Tsugikuni!
Muzan Kibutsuji was instantly terrified.
And Daki was still lunging toward Yoriichi Tsugikuni!
From his perspective, all of this looked exactly as if he were throwing himself into Yoriichi Tsugikuni's arms!
That face, at this distance!
Muzan Kibutsuji felt all five of his brains trembling wildly.
Why?
Why did he keep running into Yoriichi Tsugikuni?!
Run!
That was the first thought that sprang into Muzan Kibutsuji's mind.
Then he realized that his actual body was still in the Infinity Castle. Only his consciousness was inside Daki's body right now.
At that thought, Muzan Kibutsuji finally relaxed a little.
He was only seeing Yoriichi Tsugikuni through a connection to another demon's vision.
This sort of thing... Muzan Kibutsuji had experienced it several times in succession lately, and had even grown somewhat used to it.
Then Muzan Kibutsuji hurriedly severed his connection with Daki.
Before leaving, he made sure to leave Daki an order:
"You kill this fellow!"
Daki was left somewhat dumbfounded by the message.
Among that lord's Twelve Kizuki, the Lower Rank demons had all died.
And the Upper Rank demons had also begun dying one after another.
On top of that, that lord had explicitly ordered them to focus their efforts on searching for the Blue Spider Lily during this period, forbidding them from provoking the Demon Slayer Corps, especially a swordsman with crimson hair and sun-patterned hanafuda earrings...
However slow Daki might be, she had long since figured out what had happened.
But now, that lord was actually telling her to deal with someone like this?!
Daki truly wanted to hold up a finger
