THUD!

A human crashed onto the cold wooden floor of the Infinity Castle. They groaned, pushing themselves up, only to freeze—dozens of inhuman eyes locked onto them.

Seated above, Kibutsuji Muzan regarded the intruder with unreadable eyes. Beside him, Kokushibo's hand hovered near his blade. Douma grinned. “Oh my! A human? How delightful~”

Akaza scoffed. “Tch. Nakime, explain.”

The Biwa demon plucked a string. “I did not summon them.”

A shriek erupted. Hantengu trembled. “H-HUMAN?! LORD MUZAN, I SWEAR I DID NOTHING!”

Sekido growled. “Then they should die.”

Karaku chuckled. “But wouldn’t it be more fun to play with them first?”

Aizetsu sighed. “This is… unfortunate.”

Urogi cackled. “Can I chase them? It’s been ages since we had live prey!”

Zohakuten glared in silent disapproval, arms crossed.

Gyokko gurgled. “Such smooth skin… I could make a lovely vase~”

Daki sneered. “Disgusting. Why is a human here?”

Gyutaro grinned. “Nee-chan, don’t be so mean. Look at ‘em… all tiny and scared.”

Kaigaku scoffed. “Tch. Just kill them and be done with it.”

A heavy silence fell.
