'Why did he draw his sword? Why does he seem so angry? Is it because of me?'
'Did I do something wrong? Is it because I didn't bring enough hagi mochi?'
Tomioka Giyu's face showed no change in expression, but his heart was full of questions.
He couldn't understand why Shinazugawa Sanemi was so angry.
"Is this all you've got? Aren't you supposed to be different from us? Show me your full strength!"
"Too slow! Way too slow!"
As he went all out, Shinazugawa Sanemi didn't forget to mock him.
"Who can stop them? Big Sister Shinobu just left a moment ago..."
Kanzaki Aoi's face was filled with anxiety and helplessness; she didn't have the strength to stop The Wind and Water Pillars, who were already fighting.
Why did it turn out like this?
The key was that the person in charge of the Butterfly Mansion had just left.
Neither she nor Kanao had the strength to intervene.
"Beautiful! That strike was swift and sharp, it really says something!"
Just then, a relaxed voice came from beside her ear.
Kanzaki Aoi instinctively turned her head—Kiyokawa Izumi, who had appeared at some unknown point, was watching with great interest.
Seeing him appear, Aoi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why is Senior Brother Giyuu only defending and not attacking?"
"Go get him!"
"Put some effort into it!"
Kiyokawa Izumi commented while stroking his chin.
?
"Can you not see clearly? Your eyes can't keep up with their movements? Don't worry, I'll narrate for you!"
Kanzaki Aoi clenched her hands; was the reason she was anxious because she couldn't see clearly?
Why can you watch so leisurely?
They've already drawn their nichirin blades; this is a serious problem!
"Why did these two start fighting?"
Kiyokawa Izumi, who was just about to provide commentary, suddenly asked.
"Um, Lord Water Hashira insisted on making Lord Wind Hashira eat hagi mochi, the Wind Hashira refused, and the Water Hashira seemed a bit unhappy... and then it turned into this..."
?
Kiyokawa Izumi blinked, feeling inexplicably guilty.
The reason these two started fighting... it couldn't be because of him, right?
He could roughly reconstruct what had happened.
Giyuu, with his cold face, expressionlessly forced the hagi mochi on Sanemi, probably feeling quite happy in his heart, thinking he was improving his relationship with him.
But Sanemi felt it was a provocation!
What kind of decent person has a stiff face when giving someone food?
An expression that says 'you must accept this, you must eat it.'
Sanemi already found him quite annoying, and seeing Giyuu pull out his favorite hagi mochi and shove it in his face, how could he not see it as a provocation?
With his explosive temper, how could he endure it?
He drew his nichirin blade recklessly, but to his surprise, Giyuu still had that sour face, as if he were looking down on him.
It wasn't surprising that these two would end up fighting.
Kiyokawa Izumi could even imagine what Giyuu would say to Sanemi after the battle at Infinity Castle.
He might be thinking: 'The Demon Slayer Corps is about to disband; what are your plans for the future?'
But what he'd say is: 'You didn't die, Sanemi!'
Looking at the gleeful Kiyokawa Izumi, Kanzaki Aoi finally reached her limit. "Aren't you going to stop them?"
The girl's fair face was full of worry; unable to stop them herself, she could only look at Kiyokawa Izumi with pleading eyes.
...
Kiyokawa Izumi scratched his head somewhat helplessly—it really was a bit inappropriate to just stand by and watch.
"Are you two playing house? Can you put some effort into it? Didn't you have lunch? Are you performing here?"
His hands itching for action, Kiyokawa Izumi let out a roar and joined the battle without hesitation.
?
Kanzaki Aoi felt her vision go dark, nearly fainting.
Not long ago, she had naively thought that Kiyokawa Izumi would separate the Wind Hashira and the Water Hashira.
To her utter shock, this guy not only didn't discourage them but instead added fuel to the fire.
Mocking them while drawing his sword, he even wanted The Wind and Water Pillars to come at him together.
He wanted to fight everyone!
"Is this training?"
The Former Sound Hashira, who had also heard the commotion, walked over quickly with his cane.
When he saw the three of them fighting, the old man was deeply shocked.
Is this how the current generation of Hashira usually trains?
"Can you go stop them?"
Aoi bit her lip and said with difficulty.
Hearing this, the Former Sound Hashira could only pretend to be deaf.
How could he, an old man with a broken leg, stop three people who were all tangled up in a brawl?
...'Is Kiyokawa Izumi here to help me? Why is he swinging his sword at me? Why is he so excited?'
'Why does he want Sanemi and me to fight him together?'
Too many questions were piling up in his heart; Mr. Giyuu wanted answers.
In contrast, Sanemi, with veins bulging on his forehead and a slightly distorted expression, was much more straightforward.
Whether it was the Water Hashira or the Dark Hashira, he feared nothing!
Water Breathing, Fourth Form: Striking Tide!
Wind Breathing, First Form: Dust Whirlwind Cutter!
Kiyokawa Izumi frowned at this moment.
What do these two bastards mean?
Isolating me?
Looking down on me?
It's one thing not to team up against me, but why won't they let me join in?
"Shit! Looking down on me?"
Dark Breathing, Fourth Form: Five Senses Reflection: Myriad Phenomena of the Forest!
Using his strength alone, Kiyokawa Izumi forcibly separated The Wind and Water Pillars. Standing in the center of the battlefield, he grinned and said:
"You guys aren't good enough! You'd better come at me together!"
