Muzan: My daughter can't be that weak!

Xue Nai's face tightened, and she put all her strength into her arm, then pushed hard!

"Hey—ya!"

The anticipated heavy resistance did not materialize.

On the contrary, Douma's tall body swung forward with unusual lightness.

It was as if she was pushing not a ghost with the physique of an adult male, but a rag doll filled with cotton.

"Whoa!"

Even Yukina herself gasped slightly in surprise at how smooth the touch was.

"Whoosh—!"

The swing was suddenly thrown forward and upward with an initial velocity far exceeding normal levels, even bordering on absurd.

The expected height was completely shattered; in the blink of an eye, Doma had surpassed the top of the cherry blossom tree, and his field of vision had rapidly increased.

The ingenious layout of the entire courtyard, the roof of the toy room, and even the bizarre structure of the Infinite City further away, all unfolded rapidly before his eyes.

Eh?

Isn't this speed a bit too fast?

It wasn't at all like the gentle push he had expected...

Miss Pipa's swing is so amazing!

Or perhaps it's Yukina's strength... Hmm, it seems I misjudged it.

But the shock lasted less than half a second before it was overwhelmed by the ecstasy that followed.

"Wow—it's so high! I feel like I'm flying!"

He shouted joyfully in the air, his voice echoing through the vast, empty city.

Then came the fall.

"Bang--!!!"

A very solid, muffled thud.

Tongmo landed squarely on the edge of the courtyard, on another patch of grass, and rolled twice before stopping due to inertia.

"Uncle Doma!"

Xue Nai's face instantly turned to shock.

I'd thought I was strong, but I never imagined I was this strong.

She couldn't help but give herself a thumbs up in her mind.

Uncle Doma must be completely impressed by himself now.

Hee hee hee…

She waited a few seconds but still didn't hear the voice of Doma's worship, so she looked into the distance.

Huh...?

At that moment, seeing the white figure still motionless on the grass, her heart skipped a beat.

Could it really be broken?

Aren't ghosts supposed to be very powerful?

That's it!

Uncle Doma wasn't very smart to begin with, don't let him fall and make him even dumber.

She quickly took off running over, her short legs already prepared with a whole basket of apologies and words of comfort.

Upon approaching, they saw Doma lying face down on the grass, his hair covered in grass blades, and his magnificent cult leader's robes disheveled.

There are several wounds on his back and arms, which are bleeding and healing rapidly at a visible speed.

But it still looks pretty bad.

"Uncle Doma? Are you...are you alright?"

Yukina crouched down and cautiously reached out to touch him.

Just then.

"Well……"

The figure lying prone stirred, and then Doma suddenly raised his head, nonchalantly spitting out a small piece of grass from his mouth.

"call……"

Xue Nai gasped and covered her mouth.

There was a large hole in his forehead, and you could see some of the internal structure. Blood was flowing down his handsome face, staining the corners of his eyes and mouth red.

But instead of pain, his face was filled with an almost intoxicated smile, and his seven-colored eyes shone with an astonishing brightness.

"marvelous--!!!"

He drew out the melody, his voice trembling slightly with excitement.

"That feeling just now! The sensation of flying! The impact of falling! The feeling that my body was about to fall apart... and then that slight itching and warmth when it healed..."

"Ah! Thinking back on it now, it was so comfortable and enjoyable! Is this the fun of playing on a swing? It was so much fun!"

Completely disregarding his still-bleeding head, he looked at the stunned Yukina with his shining eyes and said sincerely:

"I'm sorry, Yukina. Uncle Doma shouldn't have underestimated you. Yukina is so strong! It was my fault~"

Don't get angry, otherwise no one will encourage you to play!

Xuena: "..."

Looking at his face, which was both pitiful and unusually excited, Yukina's worry was instantly replaced by a feeling of "this guy is hopeless" and a little bit of pride.

She silently snorted to herself.

Do you realize you were wrong?

This is what happens when you underestimate ghosts!

Before she could voice her little bit of pride, she saw that the hole on Douma's forehead had healed completely, and even the bloodstains were disappearing rapidly.

Aside from his clothes being a bit messy, he seemed completely unaffected.

No, nothing's wrong.

"Little Yukina!"

He sat up abruptly, grabbed Xue Nai's small hand, and looked at her with eager eyes.

"How about one more time? That wasn't high enough! Let's go higher! Let's fly farther! I want to see if we can fly over there!"

He pointed to the outer edge of the courtyard, below which lay the even wider and more intricate Infinite City platform area.

? !

Yukina's eyes widened in shock: "We're...we're coming again? And over there?"

That looks so far away, if I fell down there it might not even be grass anymore!

But looking at Uncle Doma's eyes, which seemed to say, "Please, please, I really want to play!"

and……

She was also a little eager to try it out.

Pushing that huge Uncle Doma so far just now, I felt quite accomplished...

Uncle Doma seems really durable...

"Well... it's a deal then, this is the last time!"

Xue Nai tried her best to put on a stern face, attempting to project some authority, "And I'm not responsible for where you get hurt!"

"Okay! It's a promise! This is the last time!"

Tong Mo nodded vigorously, immediately scrambled up, and scurried off to retrieve the swing that had flown away. He hung it up again, then sat down obediently.

This time, he even put his hands behind his back to show his determination to "absolutely not grab the rope and pursue the ultimate experience."

Yukina took a deep breath, standing more steadily this time. Recalling the feeling from before, she concentrated that continuous strength into her arms.

"I pushed it—!!!"

This thrust was even more ferocious than before!

"call out--!!!"

Doma felt as if he hadn't been pushed out, but rather slammed into the sky by an invisible giant fist.

The scenery in my field of vision rushed past wildly, and the courtyard instantly shrank into an exquisite bonsai below, with the whistling wind in my ears.

"Hahahaha—!!!"

His hearty laughter echoed along the upward trajectory.

It reached a dazzling peak, and then began to fall.

The direction of its fall was so great that it bypassed the edge of the area where the courtyard was located, and plummeted straight down to the level below!

"Uncle Doma—!"

Yukina ran to the edge, only to catch a glimpse of a figure disappear into the intricate shadows of the buildings below, without even hearing the sound of it landing.

*

at the same time.

Akaza is stepping into the Infinite Castle.

He heard that the annoying, grinning Doma had asked to challenge the current Upper Moon Two today.

well.

He was very, very much looking forward to this challenge.

It would be best if that guy got a good beating from the current Upper Moon Two.

It would be even better if he could be killed outright.

Every time he saw that fake smiling face and heard that sweet voice, he felt his fists harden and he could hardly contain his urge to wreak havoc.

Should we go to the vicinity and wait to watch the excitement, or find a place to warm up first?

He was lost in his own thoughts.

Suddenly, an unusual whooshing sound came from above, accompanied by a familiar echo.

Akaza looked up alertly.

A white, gaudy figure with outstretched limbs appeared, rapidly enlarging in his suddenly contracting pupils like a meteorite.

It was too close; there was simply no time to dodge.
