In this crossover anime, many ruthless and powerful figures reside in my territory.

Nadia, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but hug Lister from behind.

“Master, that would be too much of a burden for you.”

"I don't want to let you down... nor do I want to let myself down, who still has principles and a conscience."

Nadia tightened her arms even more, tears glistening in the corners of her eyes.

"Actually, we..."

"No more words."

Lister turned around and cupped Nadia's tearful face in his hands.

"I hope that in all of your eyes, I am still the towering Liszt, the man you all respect the most."

Nadia hummed in agreement and gently rested her head on Lister's chest.

Lister embraced Nadia, a resolve flashing in his eyes.

This time, he will completely bind Muzan to the shackles called "atonement".

Whether he successfully breaks free from his shackles and transforms into a butterfly, or falls into depravity and is completely bound, depends on how much Muzan values ​​him...

After this incident, Muzan must harbor great resentment towards him.

Chapter 81 The Ghost King's Wish Fulfilled

What should she do? Lister is coming to her world!

Inside the Infinite Castle, Muzan's face was full of joy, and the light veil on his body fluttered with his steps.

correct!

Liszt really liked beautiful women, so he decided to call Daki over. She was a beautiful vase, and just looking at her was pleasing to the eye.

With a single step, Muzan teleported to a room where Nakime, dressed in a plain kimono, was holding a biwa.

"Nakime, bring Daki here."

Nakime paused for a moment, then replied calmly.

"Lord Muzan, Daki and Gyutaro died four days ago from the combined attack of the Flame Pillar, Sound Pillar, Flower Pillar, and Serpent Pillar."

click!

Veins bulged prominently on Muzan's forehead.

"Dead? Useless thing!"

"Forget it, if I die, I die."

After a moment, Nakime asked.

"Lord Muzan, should we summon the Upper Moons?"

Muzan was taken aback.

Yes, could we summon all the ghosts to welcome Lister together?

That would show her how much she values ​​it.

"No... He just told me he wanted to kill those ghosts, so this will only upset him."

Nakime knelt quietly to one side.

Lady Muzan has a habit of talking to herself and not listening to others, and she also hates it when others interrupt her.

"Never mind, I am naturally the most beautiful. Nakime is enough as a maid."

After saying that, Muzan grabbed Nakime's hair, revealing one of her single eyes.

"Your face isn't pretty enough; you need to get it done."

"You're lucky this time. I haven't bestowed any more ghost blood since I became stronger."

“Accept with gratitude, and then serve us well.”

Muzan plunged his fingers into Nakime's neck.

The next second, Nakime's body made a crisp sound, her chest and hips grew larger, her limbs became longer, and her face became seven-tenths similar to Daki's, her melancholy and calm expression having a tranquil beauty like the surface of a lake.

Power surged forth...

Nakime stared blankly at her hands, feeling a profound change within herself.

Now, he could probably easily take down the other Upper Moon demons with just his physical strength.

How did Muzan acquire such power after only two months in another world?

"Arrange the room to welcome the guests, understand?"

Hearing Muzan's familiar, cold voice, Nakime nodded.

With a gentle pluck of the strings, everything around her changed; in just three seconds, a simple yet elegant Japanese-style room was set up.

A small table and three cushions.

Nakime, who once served guests as a koto player, is very familiar with how to arrange rooms.

Seeing the sake on the small table, Muzan nodded, then happily went to the dressing mirror to look at himself in the mirror.

She gazed at the ruby ​​on her chest, a blush spreading across her face.

"I'm so beautiful..."

"Only in this way can one be worthy of a strongman like Lister."

She likes things that are powerful, beautiful, and eternal.

Liszt not only fulfilled these needs, but also protected her, understood her, and talked to her about everything.

The joy I derive from him is unprecedented.

That sense of satisfaction and peace of mind was a feeling I had never experienced before meeting Liszt.

That's why Liszt was so special to her.

"Ready? Go invite him."

Nakime watched everything quietly; in her eyes, Muzan-sama's transformation was simply unbelievable.

If before it was like lava just erupting from a volcano, wanting to devour everything in its path with its intense heat, then now it is like a volcano that has subsided, ready to erupt again if given the right stimulus.

Although Muzan's true nature remains unchanged, she is unlikely to care about other things now, and the demons don't need to worry that she might kill them on a whim.

That adult who was still human was truly amazing.

Just as Nakime was pondering, Muzan appeared with a handsome blond man, who was wearing a dark blue men's kimono.

Lister, who had just arrived, also spotted Nakime. He paused for a moment before recognizing her.

"Nakime, it's been a long time."

Nakime lowered her eyes slightly, her expression remaining unchanged.

"It's been a long time, Lord Lister."

After saying that, she silently began to play the pipa, the music elegant and graceful.

Muzan smiled slightly, took Lister's hand and sat him down at the small table, and personally poured Lister a cup of sake.

What shall we talk about today?

Lister picked up his glass and took a small sip.

"Just wanted to get something done."

"Muzan, do you know where Yoriichi Tsugikuni's wife's grave is?"

Muzan looked puzzled. Why are we talking about this?

"Yes, I still remember the location of that grave."

The joyful expression vanished from her face; after all, Yoriichi was her nightmare, and just thinking about him filled her with dread.

She only found out after investigating everything about Yoriichi that his wife was killed by a demon. But it didn't matter; human lifespans are too short. She could just hide until the demon died of old age.

Because she was so afraid of Yoriichi, she remembered everything about him very well, including the location where Yoriichi buried his wife.

However, she never went there, because she didn't want to get involved in anything related to Yoriichi.

"Take me there and let me see."

Seeing Lister stand up, Muzan, though reluctant to go, decided to accompany him.

At that moment, Nakime spoke.

"Lord Lister, Lord Muzan, it's noon outside. I can only take you to the nearest cave."

Just as Muzan was about to suggest going later that night, he suddenly noticed that Lister had set up a parasol.

She smiled knowingly.

"With you here, there's really nothing to worry about."

"Take us there."

Nakime plucked a string from her harp, and Liszt and Muzan immediately appeared inside a cave.

"This way."

Muzan stepped out of the cave, while Lister held an umbrella in one hand to keep the sunlight from shining on him.

Seeing this, Muzan looked up at Lister, his smile undisguised.

"It's coming soon."

In less than ten minutes, the two arrived at a simple grave. The grave did not even have a name, but it was clear that someone was taking care of it, as there were only flowers growing around it and no weeds.

It must be the Zao family who have been sweeping the tombs all along.

"By the way, what are we doing here?"

Muzan was very curious; she knew Lister wouldn't do anything useless at this time.

Liszt did not answer, but instead formed a hand seal with one hand.
