Unfortunately, her attempt to diate didn't work very well this ti.
"If everything has to be done by you, Mitsuba, then what use do I have for the other Upper Rank demons?!"
His rage increasingly overflowing, veins bulging on his face, Muzan nearly roared:
"I don't understand, I cannot comprehend! You are among the most powerful demons in this world, creatures far surpassing humans in strength!
Why, ti and ti again, are you killed by those Demon Slayers as weak as ants?!
Is this... how you treat my trust in you?!"
"L-Lord Muzan, I am willing to for you..."
"Enough! I'm already tired of your stupid faces! Mitsuba!"
"Hmm? Did you call , Lord Muzan?"
Waving his hand to interrupt Gyokko, Muzan suddenly called out Mitsuba's na.
eting her puzzled gaze, Muzan ordered in a tone that brooked no refusal:
"From now on, the Upper Rank etings... no, from this day forward, unless special circumstances occur, all Upper Rank and Lower Rank etings will be hosted by you!
The changes and filling of positions will also be left to your selection. I no longer wish to waste my ti on these boring matters!
I must devote all my energy to searching for the Blue Spider Lily!"
...Huh?
As Muzan's words fell, not only Mitsuba, but all the other demons present were stunned for a mont.
Was Lord Muzan... planning to wash his hands of this?
Because he was so disappointed that the Twelve Kizuki kept getting killed by Demon Slayers, so he just... gave up?
Wait, you can actually do that?
At this mont, Mitsuba suddenly understood why Muzan had specifically nad her to definitely attend this Upper Rank eting earlier...
So you were waiting for here all along?!
No, Lord Muzan! You got tired of it yourself and dumped the troubleso matters on ?!
I don't want to manage it either!
"I-I see!"
A brilliant smile instantly blooming on her face, Mitsuba clapped her hands sharply and played dumb:
"So among the Upper Rank demons, besides , there was actually another demon called Mitsuba?
Excellent! Then from now on, the Upper Rank etings will be left to this lucky lady who shares my na!
Lord Muzan! If there's nothing else, I'll be going first..."
"Don't play dumb!"
Zheng!
With a sound of the biwa, Mitsuba—who was sitting on the building just a second ago—was instantly teleported beside Muzan by Naki in the next second.
An iron claw ruthlessly pressed down on Mitsuba's shoulder. Muzan turned to look at the still dazed demons below and repeated in that voice filled with anger:
"From this mont on, except for intelligence related to the Blue Spider Lily, you need not report anything else to . Report directly to Mitsuba instead.
She has the authority to handle anything except matters concerning the Blue Spider Lily. Is that understood?!"
"Y-Yes! Lord Muzan..."
"Wait! Lord Muzan! I think this matter is still..."
"That's how it is!"
Zheng!
Giving Mitsuba no chance to stop him, as if he had finally dumped this ss onto soone else, Muzan disappeared with a whoosh along with the biwa sound.
Inside the Infinity Castle, silence fell once again.
Mitsuba lowered her outstretched hand and silently turned to look at the demons below, who were staring back at her with equally blank faces, eyes wide.
"Congratulations, Miss Mitsuba! Congratulations, Lord Upper Rank One!"
The first to react was Gyokko.
He hopped and jumped forward, spreading his arms and offering Mitsuba the most enthusiastic congratulations.
"Miss Mitsuba, as one of the demons first transford by Lord Muzan among us, not only are you powerful, but you are also so deeply trusted by Lord Muzan. You are truly a model for our generation! A role model we must follow!
From this day forward! Gyokko will certainly do his utmost to assist Miss Mitsuba! Share your burdens! Help you maintain the convening of Upper Rank etings!
And if you have need, even for Lower Rank etings, Gyokko is willing to contribute his modest effort!"
"Hah!"
Completely opposite to Gyokko's high enthusiasm, Akaza beside him rely sneered coldly, mocking without reservation:
"Assist? I think you just want to take this opportunity to curry favor with Lord Muzan, don't you?"
"Lord Akaza!"
Hearing this, Gyokko imdiately flushed red and loudly refuted:
"What do you an by that?! What do you an by currying favor with Lord Muzan?!
We, as mbers of the Twelve Kizuki, as the most powerful demons in this world! Shouldn't we be sharing Lord Muzan's burdens? Is there anything wrong with what I'm doing?!"
"Yes yes yes, I didn't say you were doing anything wrong..."
"Lord Akaza?!"
"Eek! So scary! They're going to fight! They're going to fight!"
"Sigh..."
While Hantengu was screaming curled up in the corner, from the adjacent room ca the exhausted sigh of Upper Rank Two.
"Mitsuba."
Finally, it was Kokushibo, positioned below the others, who spoke to end this farce.
"First introduce the new Upper Rank Six. I believe Lord Muzan should have already told you."
"Oh? The new Upper Rank Six has already been selected? Where is he? Miss Naki, hurry and let him in!"
Hearing this, Gyokko imdiately stopped his argunt with Akaza.
Clearly, Muzan's delegation of power to Mitsuba had indeed made him, who worshipped Muzan extrely, very excited.
He must work hard, he must perform, he must let Lord Muzan see him too!
Soday, he too would be entrusted with such important responsibilities by Lord Muzan, just like Miss Mitsuba!
"Yes, Elder Brother..."
Taking a deep sigh, after brief shock and helplessness, Mitsuba still accepted her new identity.
She turned and instructed Naki, who was sitting beside her:
"Naki, let the person in."
When Muzan left, he had indeed inford Mitsuba of the new Upper Rank Six candidate through ntal communication.
According to convention, when a new Upper Rank demon was appointed, an Upper Rank eting also needed to be convened so the other demons could et them.
Perhaps Mitsuba should feel fortunate that at least this ti, Muzan had helped her select the candidate rather than making her choose herself this ti.
"Yes, respected Lord Upper Rank One~"
As if deliberately teasing Mitsuba by using this honorific, Naki lightly strumd the biwa in her hands, and tonight's final guest arrived in the Infinity Castle.
"Ahem, good evening everyone~"
That was the figure of a tall man, wearing blood-red tight clothes and holding an iron fan.
He had long white oak-colored hair, a small hat on his head. Not only was he handso and dashing, but those gorgeous rainbow-colored eyes were particularly eye-catching and unique.
"My dear companions~ I've finally t you all~ Really~ Taking so long to let in, I almost thought everyone had forgotten about ~"
His na was Doma.
