Hearing this, Ryuji nodded. "It wasn't just a possibility; Muzan Kibutsuji has been targeting us. Sending two Upper Ranks to ambush us clearly demonstrates his intent to kill us."
"Fortunately, you were injured and didn't pursue Inosuke. Otherwise, Upper Rank One would have disregarded Kyōjurō Rengoku entirely to eliminate you first."
Because this scenario didn't occur, Ryuji couldn't be certain Rengoku could have protected Tanjiro under Kokushibo's focused attack.
After all, Rengoku's inability to defeat Kokushibo alone was established, hence the system mission to save Rengoku.
However, Ryuji was confident he could have protected Tanjiro from Kokushibo.
Hearing Ryuji's words, Tanjiro realized the ambush targeted him; the others were merely collateral damage.
Fortunately, things hadn't gone as planned. Everyone survived; although some were injured, the outcome was excellent.
Upon hearing that Ryuji and Tanjiro were targeted by Muzan Kibutsuji, the demon king, Murada Shinichi became intensely interested. "Senior Ryuji, may I ask why Muzan Kibutsuji targeted you and Tanjiro?"
"I think Senior Ryuji stole Muzan Kibutsuji's woman, so he's being targeted!" Zenitsu offered a nonsensical answer.
Of course, Zenitsu was joking to lighten the tense atmosphere.
Ryuji considered his response. "Perhaps it's because, in Asakusa, Tokyo Prefecture, Tanjiro encountered Muzan Kibutsuji disguised among the crowd and threatened to kill him."
Ryuji knew the real reason but saw no need to reveal it.
Everyone's attention turned to Tanjiro. They were unaware of this incident.
Tanjiro having encountered Muzan Kibutsuji was incredibly fortunate. The Demon King, whom the Demon Slayer Corps had searched for centuries without success, was encountered by Tanjiro, who then publicly threatened to kill him.
Murada Shinichi admired Tanjiro's courage. If he had known he was facing the legendary Demon King, he would have been terrified.
"Tanjiro, was he scary-looking? How many eyes did he have?" Inosuke excitedly asked.
"Yeah! Tanjiro, tell us what the legendary Demon King looks like!" Murada Shinji also expressed curiosity about Muzan Kibutsuji's appearance.
Kyōjurō remained silent but watched Tanjiro intently, awaiting his answer.
Zenitsu then irreverently asked, "Tanjiro, is Muzan Kibutsuji male or female?"
Seeing Zenitsu's lust extend even to demons, Murada Shinichi gave him a thumbs-up. "Zenitsu, you're a warrior among men! You dare even covet a demon!"
