Chapter 322 I'm Here
Yuko calmly watched the eyeball monster appear around the corner.
The eyeball monster seemed to have noticed her as well, and slowly raised its head... raised its eyeballs.
He winked at her.
Having grown accustomed to the dolls from Ubuyashiki, this little thing is surprisingly adorable.
Yuko walked toward the eyeball monster, bent down, and picked it up.
Tiny tentacles brushed against her palm, making her feel a little itchy.
If you ignore any particular morbid curiosity, it's actually quite entertaining.
"Kibutsuji Muzan, are you watching?"
As soon as Muzan turned his gaze back to the eyeball monster, he saw a monstrous face staring right into his eyes, which startled him so much that he almost dropped the cup he was holding.
With that added, it definitely feels like watching a horror movie.
Fortunately, the voice wasn't the one he remembered, otherwise he would have slapped Nakime to death to prevent her from coming over through the internet and exposing him.
Realizing that the other side couldn't do anything to him through the internet, Muzan's racing heart gradually calmed down.
He stared at the monstrous face with a gloomy expression.
“I’m right here.” Yuko looked down at the eyeball in her hand, her cold gaze making Muzan feel hostile.
"I'll be there soon," Muzan said menacingly.
Unfortunately, Nakime's Blood Demon Art couldn't serve the purpose of transmitting a message; it could only be used for 'sight' reconnaissance.
But it's okay, he knows the other person will understand.
The next moment, Yuko threw the eyeball in her hand to the ground.
An enlarged shoe sole appeared in front of him, and Muzan's vision went dark.
Muzan's face remained gloomy, and he was not significantly affected.
The fact that this woman is here means that this is the Ubuyashiki residence.
At least, they won't be too far apart; they're all within this cluster of buildings.
Muzan wasn't worried about the other party's schemes, because nothing other than sunlight could kill him.
In a sense, he is immortal.
Moreover, he also has his own plans.
Once the battle begins, he will use himself as bait to shift the fighting from the ground to this Infinite City.
Once we get here...
Roar……
In the distance, the faint roars of wild beasts could be heard, and looking out, one could vaguely see shadowy figures in the Infinite City.
In the past, Muzan would never have allowed such unruly subordinates to exist in his territory.
But it doesn't matter, consider it his final act of kindness.
After all, once he overcomes the sunlight, these ghosts will be completely useless.
……
On the other side, Yuko looked at the bloodstains splattered at her feet, her face somewhat grim.
She was so focused on looking cool that she didn't realize this little thing was so juicy.
Apply a little to the edges of the shoes.
Yuko even considered cutting off her own feet.
She looked around to make sure no one was there, then jumped into the yard and rubbed herself against the grass until she finally erased the marks on her feet.
As for the bloodstains in the corridor...
These traces will naturally disappear by dawn.
……
Yuko could indeed hide for a while and play tricks on Muzan more, but Muzan's patience is limited.
She could hide Kagaya Ubuyashiki from place to place, leaving Muzan anxious and helpless.
However, if Muzan were to resort to desperate measures and attack the Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen, it would be a losing proposition.
It would be safer to let the other party focus their attention here.
After having a conversation with Muzan from afar, Yuko returned to her room, climbed through the window, and saw several pairs of eyes staring at her from the darkness.
Yuko wasn't nervous when she was playing with those eyeballs, but now that she's being stared at like this by the Ubuyashiki family's dolls, her back is tingling.
Yu Zi explained, embarrassed, "Um, I just went to the bathroom."
"..."
After a moment of silence, a white-haired child asked, "Do ghosts need to go to the toilet too?"
Ikuko: "..."
Yuko crawled back into bed, and feeling the gazes coming from both sides, she pulled the blanket up a little higher.
"Go to sleep."
As if they had touched on a key word, the children decisively abandoned their previous doubts, lay back down, and soon, the sound of calm breathing could be heard.
Yuko: She can't tell which one is the ghost!
The demons in Demon Slayer are completely different from the demons she knows.
Rather than calling Muzan a demon, Ikuko prefers to use terms like monster or yokai.
In her understanding, ghosts should be something eerie, cold, and intangible.
Compared to Muzan's more straightforward lineup, the worst that could be said is that they are ugly.
These children from Ubuyashiki are good-looking, but they are inexplicably strange.
……
Silent all night.
Yuko stared blankly at the ceiling all night.
The next morning, she went to find Kagaya Ubuyashiki in high spirits.
Yuko stated directly, "Muzan came last night."
Being a ghost has its advantages; you can stay energetic even without sleeping.
You should know that Yoriichi lost to her in the all-nighter competition, only managing to hold out for a month before being defeated.
It made her very happy at the time.
When Yuko approached Kagaya Ubuyashiki, Kagaya, who had regained basic mobility, was sitting at his desk handling some business.
In the past, most of these matters were handled by his wife, Ubuyashiki Amane. Only for certain more serious matters would Amane or their children read the information to him for his judgment.
Now that things have finally recovered, we should help share the burden.
Upon hearing Yuko's words, Kagaya Ubuyashiki looked up, his magnetic and gentle voice carrying a sense of reassurance: "It seems there's no time left for us."
Since he already knew about the existence of the Eyeball Monster, Kagaya Ubuyashiki was not surprised.
Yu Zi nodded slightly: "Yes, it'll probably be in the next day or two, most likely tonight."
Muzan is not good at waiting.
However, Yoriichi left such a deep impression on him that he gave the impression of being timid as a mouse.
In fact, Muzan is an impatient person.
No, it should be said that... even the most patient person would find it difficult to remain calm after a thousand years of longing.
and so.
Kagaya Ubuyashiki said with certainty, "I have a feeling he will come tonight."
Yuko: "...A premonition."
Are you Ubuyashiki family members about to have your premonitions defy the heavens?
Doing business relies on intuition, but is fighting Muzan also based on that?
Yuko muttered a couple of complaints to herself, then said, "You should all vacate the mansion before tonight."
Kagaya Ubuyashiki cast a gentle glance at her: "I hope you can understand, Ms. Ikuko, regarding this matter."
"I have something I want to say to Muzan."
Yu Zi's lips twitched: "I think you don't want to live anymore."
Kagaya Ubuyashiki smiled, looked down at his hand holding the pen, and sighed, "If it were before, I would indeed have had that thought."
"But now, I want to see my wife and children more."
