Teiichi glanced indifferently at Doma and said:
What do you think?
"Well, I knew it!" Doma said with a hint of helplessness, then added with some regret, "But I never expected it to end like this!"
Ignoring Doma, Teiichi turned and walked towards Nezuko and the others, saying:
"Follow me, keep a distance of more than ten meters and less than fifty meters!"
"Huh? Why don't you kill me?" Doma asked, somewhat puzzled.
"You'll still be useful later!" Teiichi replied.
Upon hearing this, Doma resolutely said, "Huh?! Are you going to use me for experiments?"
"Let me tell you first, the reason I didn't resist was because I knew I couldn't escape from you since Lord Muzan refused to save me, so I didn't fight back!"
"I don't want to do this pointless thing, but if you're going to use me for experiments, then I'll resist!"
Teiichi continued walking forward, he said, "Don't worry, I don't plan to use you for experiments. I just need you to pass on a message to Muzan!"
Upon hearing this, Doma looked at Teiichi with some confusion and asked:
"Huh? Why don't you just tell me and then kill me?"
Teiichi shook his head. "No, we need to spare your life for now. However, Muzan knows you're with me and hasn't received news of your death, he'll control you to self-destruct later!"
Doma raised an eyebrow and said with great interest, "Why do you seem to have so much experience?"
"Don't you know Daki is dead?" Teiichi glanced at Doma slightly.
"Daki dead?" Doma was surprised for a moment upon hearing this, but quickly recovered. "Oh~, you wanted to use Daki a message last time, but Lord Muzan it!"
"Hmm!" Teiichi slightly. "It seems you really don't know that Daki is dead!"
"Ah! Lord Muzan didn't summon us because of Daki's death. Maybe he's gotten used to it because so many Lower Rank have died these past two years, or maybe it's because Lord Muzan Daki that he didn't summon us!"
Doma thoughtfully shared his thoughts, then looked at Teiichi with some curiosity and asked:
"What message did you want to send to Lord Muzan?"
Teiichi glanced at Doma, but didn't speak immediately. Instead, he continued walking forward, and only spoke when he was about 100 meters away from Nezuko and the others:
"Nezuko, the demon who broke free from his control, has now overcome sunlight!"
"Huh? What did you say?" Doma could hardly believe his ears. The thing that Lord Muzan Doma had been searching for for a thousand years was actually being said by a Demon Slayer.
"Nezuko has overcome the sunlight!" Teiichi said again concisely.
Doma his head slightly, his gaze sweeping over Dingyi Teiichi landing on the figure that had just grown larger in his sight.
"Is it that female ghost?"
"Hmm!" Teiichi nodded, without refuting.
At this distance, even if Muzan opened the gate, Teiichi wouldn't let them take Nezuko from him.
"Is this real or fake?" Doma asked incredulously. "You're not making this up to lure Lord Muzan out, are you?"
"So this is why we kept you here!" Teiichi.
Upon hearing this, Doma immediately realized what was happening.
"Do you want me to see this ghost standing in the sunlight?"
Teiichi and didn't say anything more.
Doma continued gazing at Nezuko in the distance, nodding thoughtfully.
"Indeed, this is the most direct way to confirm whether she has overcome the effects of sunlight! However..."
"Ugh! I should have said I wasn't feeling well today and not taken this mission!"
Ignoring him, Teiichi, "Since you already know, then pass the message on to Muzan, Muzan he make you self-destruct again later!"
"Hey! You guys are really heartless! One of you doesn't care about me, and the other wants to kill me, and now I have to be your messenger!" Doma said sadly.
Teiichi paused slightly, turned to look at Doma, and said:
"You're being disgusting!"
"Huh? Really? Don't you think I'm very emotional?" Doma asked, somewhat surprised.
"No, I just felt waves of nausea!" Teiichi replied calmly. "You're very emotional. You should have done what you just said: one doesn't care about you, and the other wants to kill you. You should have refused to be the one passing on messages!"
Upon hearing Doma nodded thoughtfully.
"Fine! Then I won't send you any more messages!"
Having finished speaking, seeing that Teiichi had placed his hand on the Nichirin Blade, Doma quickly said:
"Okay, okay! Stop drawing your sword so easily, alright? I'll just teleport you, okay?"
"If you can reach Upper Rank Three, you shouldn't be afraid of getting cut down, right?" Teiichi asked.
Doma replied matter-of-factly, "Yeah, I'm not afraid, but who wants to be chopped up and experience that pain if Lord Muzan! Besides, I want to see if there really are demons that can overcome sunlight!"
Teiichi and said nothing more.
After a while, Doma spoke up, "Alright, I've already spoken to Lord Muzan!"
Teiichi nodded slightly, but didn't reply. The two continued walking towards Nezuko and the others.
Tengen Uzui leaned against a tree, watching the two people walking towards him in the distance, his lips twitching slightly involuntarily.
Hey! Was it really necessary to go this far?
It was one thing to use his fists when fighting Upper Rank Six, but this time, aside from stopping Doma from escaping at the beginning, he didn't even fight him afterward.
Is Upper Rank Three really this well-behaved?
Soon, the two arrived near Tengen Uzui and Mitsuri. Doma stopped ten meters away, Teiichi continued walking towards them.
Having already gone through this with Teiichi, Tengen Uzui knew Teiichi was doing when he saw Nezuko, so he had no doubts whatsoever.
But Mitsuri had never experienced this before. Seeing Teiichi Doma, she looked at Teiichi some worry and asked:
"Is it alright not to kill Doma?"
"We need to keep him here so he can relay the news of Nezuko overcoming sunlight to Muzan," Teiichi explained. Then, looking at Mitsuri, he added, "Don't worry, I'm here!"
The last five words echoed in Mitsuri's ears, giving her a strong sense of security. She smiled and nodded vigorously:
"Um!"
Tengen Uzui looked at Teiichi and couldn't help but speak:
"Hey! Kato, you didn't do what you did last time with Upper Rank Six —arrived early, just stood by and watched until we were about to collapse before finally showing up, did you?"
"Huh? Did Teiichi time?" Mitsuri looked at Tengen Uzui with some doubt.
Tengen Uzui, "Ah! Yeah, you have no idea how perverse this guy's sense of humor is. He just stood there watching the whole time, and even had the audacity to say it was to give me some exercise!"
