The boy, seeing the person clearly, put down the drum in his hand, opening his arms.
"Kiyoshi, big brother!" Teruko shouted, quickly running inside, throwing herself into the boy's arms.
Takeshi followed inside, his eyes falling on the drum next to the boy's hand. "Where did your drum come from?"
He roughly knew where the drum came from, but he still opened his mouth to confirm his guess.
"I... At first, a monster grabbed me, and then suddenly other monsters, demons, appeared. They seemed to be fighting... saying that I was some kind of rare blood... saying who could eat me..."
"Later, the drum fell down, so I picked it up and hit it, and the rooms kept changing, and then..."
The boy, thinking of the terror of that scene at the time, everyone wanting to eat him, fear and fright permeated from the bottom of his heart.
Takeshi squatted down, raising his hand, placing it on the boy's head, as if comforting him. "It's okay, you hold the drum well.
As long as anyone other than me comes to this room, you hit the drum, it should keep you safe."
The boy obediently hugged the drum in his arms again.
"You guys stay here, I'll come back to find you after I've solved things."
Takeshi was about to walk out of the door of the room, turning his head to add, "As soon as I leave the door, you immediately hit the drum."
As soon as he walked out the door, the sound of the drum rang out, and the room quickly changed before his eyes. When it stopped, the room had changed, and the people inside were also gone.
This drum was a good thing! But only here.
"Rare blood... rare blood... As long as I eat it, it's equivalent to fifty... no, a hundred people's worth..."
"As long as I eat more 'rare blood'... I can... return to the Twelve Kizuki again!"
Accompanied by Kyogai's words, the eyeball in his left eye rolled downwards, revealing the number 'Lower Six' engraved on it.
"You can't go back, someone who was considered trash by Kibutsuji Muzan, and therefore abandoned, how can you return to the Twelve Kizuki!"
A door to a room was pulled open, and Takeshi appeared in front of Kyogai.
"Moreover, you met me today!"
As the last word fell, Takeshi quickly drew his sword, slashing towards Kyogai.
Whoosh—
Kyogai didn't have time to dodge, subconsciously using his hand to block, and his left arm was forcibly cut off.
"Courting death!"
Kyogai struck the drum on his abdomen, and a claw mark as fast and sharp as a gust of wind left a mark on the ground.
"Huff~"
Takeshi let out a breath. Fortunately, he had already figured out Kyogai's attack moves. When he used his right hand to hit the drum in the middle, he quickly dodged to the right.
Luckily he was fast enough, otherwise, his body would definitely be split into three sections.
Kyogai continued to strike the drums on his body, but none of them could do any real damage to Takeshi, at most just making Takeshi move around a bit more.
"Ah! You damn bug."
Kyogai was clearly enraged, quickly striking the drums on his body, making the room constantly rotate, left and right, front and back.
On the other side, Tanjiro and Zenitsu, who were searching for people, suddenly, their feet lost their footing, and their bodies fell downwards unnaturally.
The doors below opened one by one, and after a burst of darkness, the three of them saw the woods outside the house when they broke through the last door.
Just like that, the three of them successfully left the house.
Because of the sudden loss of footing, Takeshi almost fell down. Luckily, he had stabbed his sword into the wood on the side, which kept him from falling.
Kyogai was panting slightly at this time, sweat rolling down his face, now he urgently needed to eat that 'rare blood' person.
Takeshi swung his body back, using the force of the swing to propel himself upwards.
"Hey, Kyogai, do you know why you can't return to the Twelve Kizuki? Do you know why your articles can't be accepted? Do you know?"
Stunned, Kyogai was a failure who had his writing rejected, killed his teacher, and was kicked out of the Twelve Kizuki!
"Ah—Die, you bug! Kyogai, strike the drums!"
His arms blurred as he struck the drums on his body.
The room was spinning and turning even faster than before. Before Takeshi's feet could land on the ground, the room started turning again, and the attacking claws increased from three to five.
Faced with this situation, what should he do?
Water Breathing? Light Breathing?
In the rapidly spinning room, Takeshi's mind quickly thought of the more effective moves to deal with the current situation.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he slightly opened his mouth, taking a deep breath.
Total Concentration!
Water Breathing! Ninth Form: Splashing Water Flow, Turbulent.
In the constantly spinning room, the Ninth Form was perfect for minimizing the landing time and area, perfect for dealing with the current situation.
Quickly dodging and sprinting forward, Takeshi finally arrived within his attack range. In an instant, Takeshi saw the line of opening connecting them.
The line of opening instantly tightened, the opportunity had come.
As the line of opening pulled his sword forward...
Total Concentration! Light Breathing! First Form: Flash.
The rapidly spinning house stopped in an instant, with no sound of drums, the surroundings were quiet, and even the sound of breathing could be heard clearly.
Takeshi's body landed, panting heavily, his eyes fixed on the head that had fallen in front of him.
"My... my... writing..." His eyes stared at the paper with writing on the ground.
Suddenly thinking of something, Takeshi took out an automatic blood collection device from his sleeve, firing it at Kyogai's body.
He had to slay the demon, but he definitely couldn't forget to collect blood.
"Meow~"
With a meow, a cat carrying a small box appeared out of nowhere in the room. This was the cat that Lady Tamayo had arranged to deliver blood between them.
With another meow, the cat disappeared from the room with the device containing Kyogai's blood.
