Chapter 91 Meeting the Scumbag Boss
Iwakatsu really couldn't stand the sight of Tokito Ichiro in his hospital gown, so he dragged him into a clothing store on the street.
Tokito Ichiro watched as Iwakatsu picked out a set of items, and he was very unwilling, but he had no choice but to reluctantly exchange them under the other party's force.
"Put it on Mr. Yueyan's account."
Iwakatsu remembered the doctor saying that this whole street was basically owned by scumbags, so he should just keep accounts. He watched as Tokito Ichiro awkwardly straightened his clothes, then went over and smoothed his hair.
"Hair disheveled... or tied up..."
"Tsk."
Tokito Ichiro turned his head away in dissatisfaction, tied his hair up himself, and saw the hairband in Iwakatsu's hand.
"?"
Yuichiro Tokito sensed a generation gap with Iwakatsu and was unsure whether to accept the offer. A moment of awkward silence followed, then Iwakatsu broke the silence by reaching out to help him tie his hairband.
I forgot that there were rubber bands around at this time. Iwakatsu wondered if he had slept too long and his brain had gone sluggish. He suddenly had a feeling of being out of touch with the times.
Tokito Yuichiro nonchalantly began to pull at his clothes, something he rarely did wear.
"It's so troublesome, it's so inconvenient to move around."
"You... left? No, you're hungry?"
Iwakatsu led Tokito Muichiro away by the back of his collar, leaving him no room to back out.
"Brother, I want ramen! Not sushi."
Yuichiro Tokito followed Iwakatsu and brushed past someone.
As Yoshiyuki Tomioka watched the two leave, a ripple appeared in his sea-blue eyes. He sensed that the man's aura was very strange.
"Lord Water Pillar, what's wrong?"
Someone noticed that Giyu Tomioka hadn't moved and turned to look at him curiously. Giyu Tomioka shook his head and strode forward.
"Um?"
Iwakatsu noticed Tomioka Giyuu's gaze but didn't pay much attention to it, as his face was being stared at from time to time.
"Kuroshibo, have you recovered?"
While Iwakatsu was eating ramen with Tokito Ichiro, he suddenly heard Kibutsuji Muzan's voice. He paused for a second before responding.
"Muzan... Lord, I'm alright..."
Iwakatsu guessed that because he had been looking for Nakime before, he hadn't communicated with the boss for a long time and didn't know what the other party's attitude was towards him.
At the very least, I am still Upper Moon One.
"Then go back to Infinite City, and oh, take the child you rescued with you."
"……yes."
Iwakatsu's gaze, which had been drifting, returned to Tokito Ichiro. The other man was wearing a brand-new blue kimono and black samurai pants, with a white haori over them. He looked much more pleasing to the eye, like a young master.
"What? You said you weren't going to eat it. Order it yourself if you want."
Tokito Ichiro noticed Iwakatsu's gaze and moved the bowl closer to himself.
It would be better if it didn't have that mouth.
Yan Sheng's silence was deafening, but then he thought about how the other person had always made a living by chopping wood, came from a poor family, and rarely ate such things outside.
Iwakatsu is having a hallucination of his younger brother who always wears a thin kimono. Ugh, just thinking about it makes my stomach upset.
Iwakatsu watched as Tokito Ichiro finished eating before telling him not to say anything inappropriate later.
"Brother, where are we going?"
Tokito Ichiro knew that Iwakatsu was not human, and probably not an ordinary demon either, so the person he was going to meet must be someone extraordinary.
"Go see... Lord Muzan."
Iwakatsu got up, took out the wages he had gotten while changing clothes, handed them to the boss, and then left with Tokito Ichiro.
"I don't want to go."
Tokito Ichiro felt that this was probably not a good thing. He knew that physical methods wouldn't work, so he could only pretend to be pitiful and say this.
"No, Muzan... Lord, I want to see you."
"What if I accidentally cause someone to die?!"
Tokito Ichiro still wanted to find his younger brother and didn't want to die so soon. He knew there was no escaping this and he had to get Iwakatsu to reveal the truth.
"I will protect...you."
After arriving at an empty alley, Iwakatsu pulled Tokito Ichiro into the Infinite Castle through the wooden door.
Yuichiro Tokito, with his lifeless eyes, was half-dragged and half-carried to the Infinity Castle. As soon as he passed through the wooden door, he was dazzled by the scene in front of him.
The various magnificent buildings that floated and moved endlessly were clearly visible to Tokito Ichiro, who could see each one as it passed by.
"Eh~ Lord Kokushibo, it's been a long time~."
The familiar voice made Iwakatsu turn his head and see Doma just coming out of the wooden door. Doma noticed Tokito Ichiro, teleported forward, and looked at him curiously with his seven-colored diamond-like eyes.
"Is this your food reserve?"
"...Get out of here!"
"..."
Iwakatsu held down the cursing Tokito Ichiro, and instead of answering Doma's question, turned his gaze to the other side.
"Kuroshibo, it seems you're alright."
Kibutsuji Muzan was wearing that familiar suit, a white hat perched atop his short black hair. Iwakatsu noticed that this time his hair wasn't curly, but straight.
Great, I've collected another card.
Iwakatsu bowed to Muzan Kibutsuji and said with great respect, "Thank you for your... concern, Muzan... sir."
"Lord Muzan~ It's been so long since I've seen you, I've brought you a special gift."
Doma stepped forward with a grin and magically produced a woman's head. Iwakatsu noticed that it was a ghost's head.
“This is how a traitor should be treated. Doma, you did a great job this time.”
Muzan Kibutsuji was quite satisfied. Although he disliked Doma, Doma's efficiency and abilities were top-notch, so he reluctantly forgave him for interrupting this time.
"Thank you for your compliment~".
Without hesitation, Doma shoved the head into his own body and turned his gaze to Iwakatsu, who was very curious about the human child.
"Kuroshibo, what is this?"
Kibutsuji Muzan narrowed his red vertical pupils and looked down at Tokito Ichiro, the powerful pressure almost making him unable to breathe.
"This is...the descendant of someone I...unexpectedly encountered."
Iwakatsu stepped forward and silently blocked Tokito Ichiro, then respectfully replied to Kibutsuji Muzan.
"Really? I don't recall you having a hobby of raising children."
"I am suspicious," Muzan Kibutsuji said. In fact, if Kokushi hadn't taken the blow for him earlier, he wouldn't have wasted any time asking questions.
"...This subordinate wants to find...a successor for my swordsmanship."
Kokushi was actually a little hesitant, since he himself was practically immortal, and suddenly finding a successor seemed rather strange. However, Kokushi was also concerned about the inheritance and continuation of his swordsmanship, so he felt this reason was more plausible than any other.
"Whatever."
Muzan Kibutsuji accepted this reason, and this time he only gave the other party a hint. To him, a human was just an ant, and Kokushibo could play with him if he liked.
"Thank you, Muzan... sir."
Iwakatsu didn't look up until the scumbag boss left. Behind him, Tokito Ichiro was tightly gripping his sleeve. Iwakatsu looked helplessly at the panicked Tokito Ichiro, reached out and patted the other's back to bring him back to his senses.
Who is that?
Tokito asked in a low voice. He had just been overwhelmed by that terrifying aura, which was even more terrifying than when he faced death before.
"Yes, the leader of all... demons, Muzan-sama."
