"Tamayo and Yushiro"
"Hey, Nezuko is definitely not ugly!" Tanjiro insisted, still fixated on the earlier insult. Aoki, exasperated, kicked him in the stomach to silence him.
They entered a dark alley, stopping at a wall at the end. Yushiro halted.
"What's wrong?" Tanjiro asked, confused.
Aoki, who had activated his Sharingan, saw that the wall was a blood demon art illusion. They could simply walk through it.
"Let's go. No one's around. Come in quickly," Yushiro said, unimpressed with Tanjiro but seemingly more accepting of Aoki, and walked through the wall.
Aoki followed swiftly, while Tanjiro, holding Nezuko's hand, examined the wall before passing through.
On the other side stood a two-story house with a talisman-like symbol above the door.
"There's a house at the end of a dead end?" Tanjiro exclaimed.
Yushiro turned to them. "Come in quickly. Don't disrespect the lady." He approached Tanjiro, scowling. "I'm not interested in you. The lady ordered me to bring you."
They followed Yushiro into the house.
"Come in," a woman's voice called from inside a room.
A beautiful woman appeared—the other demon from the street.
"Ding!"
Tamayo:
Identity: Demon who has escaped Muzan Kibutsuji's control
Personality: Gentle, kind
Skills possessed: Blood Demon Art
Combat Power: 547 points
Overall Rating: Level Three
Favorability towards host: 2
The woman's information appeared in Aoki's mind.
"I'm sorry for the trouble. Thank you for helping," Tanjiro said, approaching Tamayo and checking on the woman who had been bitten. "How is the lady?"
"She's fine," Tamayo replied, looking at the woman. "But her husband wasn't so lucky. He was caught and imprisoned."
Tanjiro's expression darkened. The man had been an innocent bystander, transformed into a demon by Muzan Kibutsuji and now imprisoned.
A hand rested on his shoulder. Aoki stood behind him.
"You two chat. I'll wait outside. Tell me what they say," Aoki said, leaving the room.
"That guy is rude. Tamayo-sama is here, and he just leaves," Yushiro grumbled.
Aoki went to the roof, lying down, legs crossed, gazing at the full moon.
He thought back to his encounter with Muzan Kibutsuji. Urokodaki Sakonji had mentioned him before.
Muzan Kibutsuji was the first demon, existing for over a thousand years. The Demon Slayer Corps existed solely to kill him.
Aoki hadn't initially paid much attention, until his encounter with Muzan Kibutsuji, whose power was astonishing.
He'd seen the Hashira, the strongest in the Corps. Gyomei Himejima, the Stone Hashira, had the highest combat power at 5862 points (Heaven-level).
Muzan Kibutsuji, however, possessed over 7000 points, with an unprecedented "SSS" level rating.
Aoki wondered why Muzan Kibutsuji hadn't attacked them earlier. He could have easily killed them, yet he chose to transform a passerby into a demon, effectively restraining them.
Aoki felt a chill of fear. Even his strongest techniques, like Tsukuyomi, were ineffective against Muzan Kibutsuji. He couldn't imagine facing him directly.
Shaking his head, he decided to focus on survival.
As he closed his eyes to rest, he sensed movement.
He stood, activating his Sharingan. Two figures had silently passed through the blood demon art illusion. They were demons, and seemingly strong ones.
"System, give me the info on the demon juggling the ball." Aoki rubbed his hands together in anticipation.
"Ding!"

"And the other one? The one with closed eyes, juggling?"
"Ding!"

"Level Three demons. Strong. Let's see what they've got," Aoki murmured.
"Wait, the ball-juggler is raising the ball… don't drop it! Don't drop it!"
