HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE 🎇🎆
The mont we reappeared, the scent of incense and burning candles filled my nose.
Eternal Paradise Faith.
A grand temple, lavish yet eerily empty, stood before us. Intricate golden designs adorned the towering pillars, depicting scenes of ’salvation’ and ’paradise.’ Soft hymns echoed in the air, sung by devoted worshippers who kneeled in perfect rows, their eyes glazed over in fanatical reverence.
And at the center of it all, lounging lazily on a throne, was Doma.
He looked exactly as I expected—bright eyes filled with empty mirth, his golden hair pristine, not a single strand out of place. He rested his cheek on his palm, a sickeningly sweet smile gracing his lips.
The mont he saw us, his brows lifted in interest.
"Oh?" Doma humd, tilting his head. "Now, isn’t this a surprise?" His eyes flickered toward , and his smile widened. "You... I recognize you. You’re the one who stopped that terrifying lady from rampaging through the castle."
He was, of course, talking about Shalltear.
I smirked. "So, you do rember."
Doma chuckled. "How could I forget? Such a powerful presence. A true monster among monsters. I couldn’t help but wonder—just what kind of being could stop her?"
He leaned forward slightly. "Tell , what brings you to my humble temple?" His gaze flickered toward Shinobu for a brief mont before returning to .
He didn’t recognize her.
To him, she was just another Demon Slayer.
But I knew better.
I turned to Shinobu, whose hands clenched into tight fists. Her breath was slow and controlled, but I could feel it—the raw, burning hatred she kept buried deep inside.
I placed a hand on her shoulder and leaned in slightly.
"Fight him," I whispered. "Fight until your hatred and revenge are fulfilled."
Shinobu trembled slightly beneath my touch, but she nodded, her grip tightening around her sword.
Doma let out a soft laugh, standing up from his throne.
"So, I assu you’re here to kill ?" he asked, amusent lacing his voice.
I shook my head. "Not ."
Doma raised an eyebrow.
I gestured toward Shinobu. "She is."
For a mont, Doma just blinked.
Then, he burst into laughter.
"Oh, oh! That’s funny!" He clapped his hands together, shaking his head. "For a second there, I thought you were being serious!"
Shinobu’s eyes darkened.
"You think it’s impossible, don’t you?" she said, her voice quiet but venomous.
Doma smiled. "Oh, it’s not that I think it’s impossible—it is impossible!" He let out a dramatic sigh. "You’re so small, so frail. Even your sword—so thin, like it could break at any mont. What could you possibly do to ?"
Shinobu didn’t answer. She simply took a step forward.
I decided it was ti for to handle the background distractions.
Raising a hand, I cast a subtle wave of charm magic over the room.
The worshippers—all of them—suddenly stopped their chants, their eyes clouding over. Without a word, they turned and began exiting the temple, leaving the three of us alone.
Doma’s eyes followed them curiously before shifting back to .
"Oh my, how fascinating," he mused. "You’re quite an interesting man, aren’t you?"
I ignored him and turned back to Shinobu.
"It’s morning," I reminded her. "If you can force him outside, the sun will handle the rest."
Shinobu’s lips curled into a small, dangerous smile. "I see."
Doma, of course, just kept grinning.
"And what will you be doing?" Shinobu asked, narrowing her eyes.
I smirked. With a flick of my wrist, I summoned a comfortable seat and plopped down onto it.
Then, I reached into my inventory and pulled out a large bucket of popcorn.
"I’m watching your fight," I said with a grin, popping a handful into my mouth.
Shinobu let out an exasperated sigh.
Doma, on the other hand, just smiled wider.
"Oh, now I’m interested." He stepped forward, eyes shining with intrigue. "Well then, little Slayer, shall we dance?"
Shinobu’s fingers tightened around her sword.
Then, she moved.
Her speed was incredible—light, graceful, but purposeful. She darted forward, her small fra making her movents almost impossible to track. Her sword glimred as it sliced through the air, aiming directly for Doma’s neck.
But Doma, despite his carefree deanor, was no fool.
He dodged with ease, twisting his body just enough to avoid the lethal strike.
"My, my," he chuckled. "You’re quite fast!"
Shinobu didn’t respond. Instead, she pivoted, using the montum of her missed strike to launch another attack—this ti, aiming for his chest.
Doma deflected her blade with his closed fan, his movents fluid and effortless. "But you lack strength," he mused. "Your strikes are like a butterfly’s wings—delicate, beautiful, but ultimately harmless."
Shinobu’s expression didn’t change, but I could see the fire burning in her eyes.
"Then let’s see if a butterfly’s poison is just as harmless," she said coolly.
