"Hard work betrays none, but dreams betray many."— Hachiman Hikigaya, airu

  <><><><><><>

  Mitsuri Kanroji had joihe Demon Syer Corps with the goal of finding a husband strohan herself.

  Now, faced with the incredibly powerful Roy, her thoughts raced, and her cheeks flushed red.

  The moment Doma, Upper Rank Two, perished, Muzan Kibutsuji was instantly aware.

  Through Doma's final moments, Muzan saw that a woman had shattered his head.

  Muzan's expression remained unged.

  He cked humaions ahy.

  All the Demons he created were merely tools to him.

  However, he couldn't simply ighe destru of one of his tools.

  He summoned Kokushibo, Upper Rank One, and ordered him to elimihe woman who had killed Doma.

  Kokushibo was the stro of the Upper Ranks, formerly the elder brother of Yoriichi Tsugikuni.

  His strength far surpassed Doma's.

  After dispatg Kokushibo, Muzan paid no further attention to the matter.

  Meanwhile, after dealing with Doma, Roy and the others returo the Butterfly Mansion.

  Roy seized the opportunity to extend an invitation to Mitsuri.

  "Mitsuri-san, would you be willing to bey servant?" he asked.

  "Eh?" Mitsuri was surprised by the sudden offer from the new leader of the Demon Syer Corps.

  And to bee his servant... was this a fession?

  Should she accept or refuse?

  After a moment of hesitation, Mitsuri decided to accept.

  Her reason for joining the Demon Syer Corps was to find a strong husband!

  This new leader could not only resurrect the dead and teleport people across vast distances, but he had also effortlessly frozen Doma, Upper Rank Two.

  Such a powerful man was the perfect husband in her eyes.

  "I... I accept!" Mitsuri replied, her face flushed.

  Roy smiled and, without wasting any time, began the Devil transformation ritual.

  "By the name of Roy Lucifuge, I and thee, Mitsuri Kanroji, to bey servant Devil, reborn as my Rook!"

  An ice-blue magic circle appeared beh Mitsuri's feet, and a Rook piece merged into her body.

  Light fshed.

  A pair of Devil wings unfolded from within the light.

  The Rook piece granted high attad defense power. bined with Mitsuri's already superhuman physique, eight times dehan an average person's, she was now incredibly powerful, capable of withstanding even an High-Css Devil with her physical strength alone.

  "So this is what it feels like to be a Devil," Mitsuri mused, g her fists and feeling the surge of power c through her.

  It was overwhelming.

  If the power bestowed upon her was this immense, how powerful was her master?

  Mitsuri gazed at Roy with fervent admiration.

  "Hehe, Mitsuri, there will be plenty of time to witness my power ter," Roy chuckled.

  Roy's strength had already reached the mid-level of High-Css Devil.

  Having awakened his Devil ability, he felt invincible among High-Css Devils.

  He eagerly anticipated Riser Phenex's rea when they cshed upon his return.

  Roy tio refine his ice-based teiques.

  After awakening his ice affinity, his magical talent seemed to have been unlocked.

  He could now use many magic spells he had only read about in his memories, and creatieiques became much easier.

  Most of his ice-based teiques were inspired by the abilities from the anime Freezing.

  Of course, he had memories of many other ice users, such as Satellizer L. Bridget, Kuzan, Esdeath, and Toshiro Hitsugaya.

  Satellizer was arguably the stro among them.

  Apart from Satellizer's teiques, the one Roy most desired to learn was Esdeath's "Mahāpadma."

  It was an incredibly powerful ability that could freeze time and space within a certain range, an almost unstoppable teique.

  Even a Maou would be helpless against it.

  Unfortunately, it was too profound and plex for Roy to grasp on his own.

  ...

  Several days passed, and Tanjiro successfully pleted his mission to iigate the missing girls.

  The childhood friend was saved, and the S Demon was sin.

  Tanjiro would sooo Asakusa, where he would enter Muzan Kibutsuji for the first time.

  It was time for Roy and the others to depart as well.

  "Shinobu-san, inform the Hashira to gather here. Muzan Kibutsuji will be appearing soon. This is our best ce to kill him," Roy instructed before their departure.

  He inteo take the Hashira with him to Asakusa.

  After all, they were going to a crowded city. To avoid harming i civilians, the Demon Syer Corps would o evacuate the area.

  Shinobu's eyes lit up with excitement at the prospect of finally killing Muzan Kibutsuji.

  "Is it true?" she asked eagerly.

  "Of course," Roy replied with a smile, patting Shinobu's head.

  Although Shinobu disliked being patted on the head, she couldn't resist Roy, given her small stature.

  Shinobu, after finally esg Roy's affeate gesture, summoned her Kasugai Crow to rey the message.

  That afternoon, all the Hashira gathered at the Butterfly Mansion, having pleted their respective missions and ready to follow Roy's ands.

  Ihe Butterfly Mansion, the Hashira stood together.

  "I won't waste time with unnecessary words," Roy announced. "Tonight, Muzan Kibutsuji will appear in Asakusa. I need you all to apahere, along with the Demon Syers under your and."

  Roy stated his purpose directly.

  The Hashira were excited at the prospect of finally fronting Muzan Kibutsuji.

  "Excellent! This time, we will definitely sy Muzan Kibutsuji!" Kyojuroku decred with unwaveriermination.

  "Is the turies-long struggle of the Demon Syer Corps finally ing to an end?" Gyomei Himejima excimed, tears streaming down his face.
