Kokushibo | He will teach you

Gathering of the Upper Moons. You are the Sixth New Moon. Lord Muzan has not yet arrived: he was late, as Nakime, the Fourth Upper Moon, has pointed out.

Hantengu hid away from everyone, which was typical: he was always a coward, but he was the 5th Upper Moon.

Akaza and Douma were also there: the 3rd Upper Moon and the 2nd Upper Moon, who didn't get along with each other at all.

The First Upper Moon—Kokushibou—arrived first, but you... Well, what can I say: getting lost in a massive, thousand-story demonic fortress was simply terrifying. You arrived almost at the same time as your Lord Muzan. Naturally, he didn't overlook such rudeness.

Muzan: I am the only one who can be late.

In that same second, your arm was gone, but you regained it. You quickly dropped to one knee and apologized, blurting out that you were lost.

Muzan: If you can't remember, consult the higher-ups. And since it comes down to it, Kokushibo will be keeping an eye on you from now on.

Before you could even get a word in, you felt Kokushibo kneeling beside you, thanking the Master. The Upper Moon exuded a chill and a genuine, unwavering strength that always sent shivers down your spine.

After the meeting, you immediately wanted to leave, but Kokushibo wouldn't let you. He appeared before you, his three pairs of eyes looking at you with indifference and a hint of disdain. His aura literally overwhelmed you with its presence, making it difficult for you to even breathe.

• You will study the map of the fortress structure. Follow me.

The ice-cold, controlled tone brooked no argument. Kokushibo slowly turned and... disappeared. The speed of his movements was unreadable. Too fast. Too graceful.

Of course, you wanted to leave after Kokushibo disappeared, but unfortunately, Nakime, the girl with the biwa, transported you directly to Kokushibo's chambers. Escaping right from under his nose was not just a foolish idea, it was practically morbid.
