Muzan Kibutsuji looked at Lister, who was lying on the bed, breathing weakly, with tears still on his face.

"Nakime, take good care of him."

After saying that, Muzan got up and left the room.

When Muzan used his Blood Demon Art to enter another room, he could no longer restrain himself. With a wave of his right hand, the entire room was destroyed by a huge claw mark.

Why? Why stop her?!

Do you know how much my heart aches?!

Do you know how much I cried?!

Muzan looked at the ruby ​​necklace on his chest, and a feeling of grievance welled up in his heart.

This was the first time since she was born that she had cried so miserably, and the first time that she had felt so heartbroken that she could hardly breathe.

While suffering from her illness in her hospital bed, she was filled with despair and wanted to destroy everything.

Although she was afraid when facing Yoriichi Tsugikuni, she was not sad.

but now……

Muzan knelt down, panting heavily, like an asthma patient, his chest tightness making it difficult to speak.

I really don't understand when you risk your life to protect those ants!

I haven't done anything to harm Red Maple Territory, so why are you still stopping me?

Aren't we together?

I……

Looking at the dangling necklace, Muzan fell silent.

Thinking that Lister had also protected her, Muzan choked up and bit her lip.

What on earth are you thinking?

I wish I could turn you into my own kind, and know what you're thinking.

If I ask you, will you tell me the answer?

the other side.

Lister propped himself up, and Nakime quickly helped him up.

"It's okay, you'll be able to move around normally after resting for another two or three minutes."

Looking at his body, which had returned to normal, Lister took a deep breath.

In order to appear even more miserable, he had to weaken his defenses, so he would also be seriously injured by Muzan's attacks.

At this moment, Lister opened his magic eye and glanced inside Nakime's body.

"Haven't you eaten anyone lately?"

Nakime shook her head.

“Lord Lister, since I entered the Infinity Castle, Lord Muzan has been providing me with nourishment. I haven’t eaten a human for hundreds of years.”

That's it...

"I am really weak right now, take me to the location I need."

"I'm going to meet someone."

……

At the same time, Kagura Ubuyashiki Kagaya opened his eyes after listening to Kasugai's report.

"I see, so this is the information you wanted to tell me."

Ubuyashiki Amane, who was standing to the side, was a little confused.

"Tianyin, that person wants to convey two messages to us through this incident."

"First, Muzan values ​​him highly. Second, Muzan has undergone some changes."

“My intuition tells me that he will be here soon.”

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a figure appeared in the room.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki said to Amane.

"Have everyone leave the courtyard, and then come back here."

Ten minutes later, when Toon returned, she brought two bowls of green tea and placed them between Ubuyashiki and Liszt.

Liszt, whose face was somewhat pale, thanked him and took a sip of tea.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki maintained his smile, his gentle voice possessing a reassuring charm.

"Mr. Lister, would you like to rest for a while?"

"No need, let's start talking business."

Let's go back one minute.

Inside the Infinite Castle, Muzan rubbed his sore eyes and returned to Lister's room.

However, she did not see Liszt when she came in.

gone back?

No! She could sense that Lister, despite being from another world, was still in this world!

What on earth is he trying to do?!

Don't you know your current situation is very bad?!

Muzan anxiously approached Nakime and grabbed her clothes.

"Take me to Lister's side quickly!"

When she was teleported to the Ubuyashiki mansion, no one was around, so she immediately sensed Lister's location and Ubuyashiki Kagaya and Ubuyashiki Amane in the room.

Why did Lister come to see them?

Muzan knew that Lister had only met the two of them once, but Lister knew the trajectory of her fate, and might also know about Ubuyashiki Kagaya and Ubuyashiki Amane.

Suspicion arose in Muzan's mind subconsciously.

She then concealed herself and quietly went outside the room to eavesdrop.

……

“Mr. Lister, you must be the leader of some organization.”

Lister did not expect that Kagaya Ubuyashiki's first words during the formal conversation would be this.

"Although we only met once, my intuition tells me that we are very similar."

"...I am indeed a lord, but only the lord of a village with fewer than 1,500 people."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki was somewhat surprised.

"Your demeanor is exceptional; I thought you were..."

"You flatter me too much. Let's avoid such compliments."

"I just want to get to know you better, Mr. Lister, so we can have a better conversation, right?"

Lister put down his teacup and looked directly into Kagaya Ubuyashiki's eyes.

"Have you understood enough?"

"That's enough for the rest of the conversation."

"You've figured out my purpose?"

"Naturally, I came here for Muzan Kibutsuji."

Ubuyashiki smiled.

“You are indeed very attentive to her, and I cannot understand this feeling at all.”

Outside the door, Muzan Kibutsuji was taken aback.

Was this conversation really about her? There's no need for that.

Lister looked at his reflection in the teacup and said slowly.

"...I can't really explain how I feel right now."

"When I first met Muzan, my intention was to use her until she died."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki was somewhat curious.

"Appreciate further details."

"To put it simply, I know about Muzan Kibutsuji's past, the many evil things she did, and I have a very bad impression of her."

Liszt's tone revealed sincerity.

"But at the time, I wanted to use any power that was beneficial to my territory, so I used some tricks to sign a contract with her, intending to make her work for me for free."

"Based on my understanding of Muzan Kibutsuji, she will not abide by the contract."

“That’s right. You can think of it as us signing a contract under the watchful eyes of the gods, which neither of us can break. But actually, I did something to stop the transaction before Muzan completes the contract, so that Muzan won’t get the Blue Spider Lily.”

Outside the door, Muzan was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood the reason behind it.

She had indeed been tricked!

But as he thought about it, the anger that had just risen instantly dissipated.

She's already obtained the blue spider lily and become a ghost unafraid of sunlight, hasn't she?

"Hmm... Mr. Lister, is the power you possess the result of a deal with the gods?"

"No, I am from another world, where many people possess similar powers. Muzan simply suddenly appeared in my world and can now travel between the two."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki and Amane Ubuyashiki both widened their eyes in surprise.

"You can think of my world as medieval Europe, but with many magical powers, such as magic."

“I have opened up a new territory on the border of the kingdom, and I face the constant danger of it being destroyed.”
