Kiyomi Jokingly thought: 'Are you Thanos or something!?!!?'
Breaking through a few trees, Kiyomi was flung far away by Muzan, rupturing multiple internal organs.
Pushing herself near her limits and getting rid of her distracting thoughts, she quickly got back up onto her feet and rushed back to the scene to support Giyu.
After what felt like a few days to both Giyu and Kiyomi, Muzan finally lost the mood to keep playing with them:
"Ah... human flesh... so weak and fragile. Heh. Water Pillar, right? Go and tell that Ubuyashiki that everything he has worked for is all done for nothing! For I'm immortal, a near-perfect being!"
Kiyomi couldn't help but quietly refute Muzan's words:
"If you were so perfect, then you shouldn't be afraid of the sun..."
Muzan:
"...It seems that I still have to discipline a certain little girl before I leave..."
Kiyomi:
"..."
Rather than running away, Kiyomi just decided to stand still and take the punishment.
After all, it's impossible to be able to escape from Muzan who can fight multiple Hashiras at once, and plus, she won't die. At most, it'll be some severed limbs and the likes.
*Puff~*
The instant Muzan landed his punch on Kiyomi, it immediately sent her body flying.
Giyu, who was on the side, knew the power of the woman that fought alongside him, and he had to admit that in comparison with speed and reaction time, even he as a hashira is slightly slower.
This was also why he was surprised when Kiyomi was sent flying with only one punch.
Grieving at the agonizing misery of almost being directly exploded into a blood mist, Kiyomi felt her entire body aching from the shock absorbed from Muzan's punch.
'F*cking hell~!'
Kiyomi couldn't help but curse in her mind.
Her internal organs were shaken by Muzan's punch, and even if she moved a single muscle of hers, she would get a cramp that would further agonize her.
Giyu, who was standing on the sidelines, suddenly realized something and had an unbelieving expression on his face.
"This demon... is it Muzan?"
Hearing the words of Giyu, Kiyomi almost didn't spit out blood from anger.
If her body wasn't almost blown into a blood mist and couldn't even talk right now, she would definitely have a good 'talk' with Giyu about life.
Muzan was even further amused.
Muzan pointed to his head as he said, "...I see that other than your weakness, you also aren't so bright up here."
Even Kiyomi who was supposed to be teammates with Giyu also can't help but agree with Muzan.
'I agree! That guy over there is a piece of ice! In terms of intelligence... he has no emotional intelligence nor normal intelligence!'
Giyu, feeling insulted, had no words to say.
Kiyomi, lying on the ground, controlled her heart to make it beat slower, reducing the pressure on her veins that are about to burst.
Her regeneration seemed especially restricted when fighting against the wounds made by Muzan.
But it wasn't her demon regeneration that was healing her, it was the talent that was given by the system that was.
But if Kiyomi was fighting against anyone else, the regeneration overlap and bring her regeneration above the level of an upper moon, but still just a bit short of reaching Muzan's level.
Muzan, still feeling extremely amused, left without another word.
'... I love how wherever I go...'
Then, an extremely awkward silence ensued.
Giyu was still thinking about what he should do next, and Kiyomi can't move.
'There would always be this awkwardness in the air for a while...'
Making up his mind, Giyu decided to make sure that Kiyomi was alive first.
Feeling the cold hands of Giyu stroking near her neck to try and find her pulse, Kiyomi almost died of embarrassment.
'I see no evil, I hear no evil, and I feel nothing. Also, you stupid man, why can't you just feel if I'm breathing or not!??! Pervert~!! I'm also putting you on my revenge list damned Tomioka Giyu~!!!'
...
A basket dropped onto the snow.
Tanjiro, who had just reached the top of the mountain saw the bloodied body of Nezuko laying unconscious on the snow.
And he also saw Kiyomi, who also seemed to be unconscious and bleeding, but is currently being molested by someone.
He glanced at the house in horror as he saw his younger siblings huddling in fear, looking through a small crack in the wooden door.
Widening his eyes in horror, Tanjiro looked in fear as he saw watched Giyu continue to try and feel Kiyomi's weakened pulse.
But Tanjiro didn't know that and just assumed that Giyu was the one to attack Nezuko and Kiyomi since there was a small chance that someone would covet the beauty of both of his sisters.
"Let go of my sister you pervert!"
Tanjiro yelled in anger and anguish as he rushed to the axe that was dropped when Kiyomi directly flew and broke almost all of her internal organs.
Kiyomi who had her eyes closed this entire time to fake being unconscious heard Tanjiro's voice.
'...Oh no.'
Already know that a huge misunderstanding was coming, Kiyomi could only helplessly sigh in her mind.
'After all... reading so many novels... tsk tsk.. *sigh* ..but hopefully, Tanjiro won't break down this time, I've saved everyone... except mom... but she'll be fine. She will.'
Relaxing her body even further to prevent cramps, Kiyomi thought of another problem:
'Right... still need to ask the system about why my memory was restricted. Hey Syste-!'
A sudden mechanical voice in her mind interrupted her thinking.
<> Heh. You're naive to believe that there wouldn't be hidden rules in the almighty systems. Kiyomi. Want to know why 'WE' restricted your memory? <>
