Demon Slayer: Muzan, will you dance too?

Kiyokawa Izumi picked up the Hagi mochi and took a gentle bite. The soft, glutinous rice grains wrapped around the fine, sandy red bean paste melted in her mouth. The elasticity of the glutinous rice and the smooth red bean paste intertwined, making it sweet but not cloying, with an endless aftertaste.

After eating several, Qingchuan Quan felt a distinct gaze fixed on him.

Sanemi's face had lost its fierce expression; he was just silently watching Kiyokawa Izumi—this guy was eating way too fast; he had only eaten two!

In the blink of an eye, only one Hagi mochi was left of the one that Brother Yiyong brought.

Perhaps due to his age, Kuwajima Jigoro didn't eat much, and his senior brother Giyu didn't eat a single bite either, just silently watching everyone.

Kiyokawa Izumi, who hadn't had time for breakfast or lunch and had just been busy mediating a fight, was already in a rumbling stomach.

At this moment, facing the last remaining Hagimochi, he completely disregarded the wind pillar that was staring intently at him and decided to strike first.

First come, first served.

Seemingly sensing that Kiyokawa Izumi's hands were a little restless, Sanemi used both hands at once, and suddenly reached out his right hand to grab Kiyokawa Izumi's wrist.

With his other hand, he reached out towards Hagimochi without any hesitation.

Kiyokawa Izumi never expected that this guy would be so unethical, using both hands and all his strength just to snatch the last piece of Hagi Mochi.

Absolutely outrageous!

Do you think you're the only one with two hands?

Kiyokawa Izumi's previously idle left hand also reached out, and just as Sanemi's hand was about to touch the Hagi mochi, the food box containing the Hagi mochi was quickly taken away.

"You bastard..."

The moment their eyes met, they could tell that the other person was serious.

Hagi mochi, which means war!

Kiyokawa Izumi held the food box high in her left hand, a smug smile creeping across her face—her hand speed was still too slow; she needed to practice more!

Seeing this scene, I felt the veins on my face bulge.

Sanemi's breathing was clearly audible, his eyes fixed on the food plate. Now, the advantage was on Kiyokawa Izumi's side, so how could he turn the tide?

While pondering this, the right hand gripping Kiyokawa Izumi's wrist suddenly tightened, clearly intending to make the guy lose his balance and fall, causing Hagimochi to bounce out of the food box.

This would be killing two birds with one stone.

Kiyokawa Izumi, who lost her balance and fell, was not only unable to snatch the Hagi mochi, but also managed to separate the Hagi mochi from the food box.

Unexpectedly, Kiyokawa Izumi simply smiled slightly.

Do you think I can't guess what you're thinking?

The hagi mochi in the food box was tossed high into the air, and the right hand, which was holding Sanemi's wrist, suddenly grabbed Sanemi's wrist in return, creating a situation of mutual restraint.

You're holding onto me, but I'm holding onto you too.

Sanemi's heart sank. He hadn't expected this guy to be so difficult to deal with. He subconsciously looked towards Hagimochi.

Her wrist was grabbed by the other party, making it impossible for her to get up. She could only watch as Hagimochi tumbled high in the air, about to fall into Kiyokawa Izumi's mouth.

This guy!

The landing point was already calculated the instant the hagimochi was tossed out.

He planned to catch it with his mouth.

Once he bites you, it's too late.

Sanemi couldn't think of a solution for the time being.

Just then, a figure as graceful as a butterfly landed beside her. Shinobu's fair and slender right hand gently held a beige rice cake, and her face wore that familiar and gentle smile.

Kiyokawa Izumi and Sanemi were both stunned. They had been outwitting each other, but they never expected that Shinobu would intercept them.

"Don't!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Shinobu took a small bite, then looked at Izumi Kiyokawa and Sanemi, who had spoken at the same time, with a slightly puzzled expression.

Is it poisonous?

Also, when did your relationship become so good? Why are you holding hands?

"hateful!"

In this battle, Kiyokawa Izumi undoubtedly suffered a crushing defeat.

So close!

He was too confident, never expecting that the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

By the time Shinobu Kocho realized something was wrong, her hand had already brushed past his face.

Left with no other choice, he could only slap away Sanemi's smelly hand with considerable disdain.

Upon witnessing this scene, Senior Brother Yiyong pondered to himself—so everyone likes to eat hagi mochi, huh? He should bring more next time, otherwise, they might start fighting.

Even butterflies are scrambling for the last piece of hagi mochi... Does she like eating it that much too?

Bringing more should help improve relationships with everyone, right?

"By the way, Sanemi, why are you here?"

Suddenly realizing what was happening, Kiyokawa Izumi couldn't help but ask, looking at him with suspicion.

Suddenly, I remembered that during the last Pillar meeting, the hot-tempered Sanemi actually took the initiative to talk to Shinobu Kocho—I didn't think much of it at first, since Shinobu Kocho had a pretty good relationship with the other Pillars.

She's not the disliked Giyuu, so it's normal for her to get talked to.

Seeing that Sanemi was unharmed, and then suddenly appearing at the Butterfly Mansion, something seemed off.

What's this brother-obsessed guy doing here?

"..."

Sanemi glared at Kiyokawa Izumi with a hostile expression. He didn't care that Shinobu Kocho ate the last piece of Hagi Mochi, but he was very concerned that Kiyokawa Izumi was trying to steal the Hagi Mochi from him.

"I just came to see if these good-for-nothings have improved, if they can be of any use, and if you've trained them properly."

Looking at it now, it's still just waste, nothing has changed at all.
