WARNING! Spoilers for chapter 141-143. And somewhat dark humor.

The kiddy, much less violent version of how Kanae, Shinobu, and Douma die.


The demon in front of Shinobu fit all the descriptions her sister had provided. Blood-stains on his head, polite speaking manner, usually smiling, and sharp silver fans for weapons.

Shinobu's suspicions were correct. So this... is the demon that killed my sister.

"Everyone's scared of dying, so I eat them all up. Now they can live with me forever," Douma said happily.

"You're insane, there's no denying it," Shinobu hissed. "You're making me vomit,"

"Eh? We just met, and you're being this harsh already? Oh I know. There must be something bothering you. I'll listen," The Upper Moon offered.

"Something bothering me?" The Insect Hashira snarled and gripped her haori. "You don't recognize this haori? You're the one who killed my sister, right?"

"Hm? Ah, the Hashira that used the Breath of Flowers?" Douma recalled his fight with Kanae.


Flashback...

"Breath of Flowers," Kanae started, unsheathing her sword. "Sixth Form: Swirling Peach!"

But nothing happened.

Kanae was confused to see that there was no effect. "Eh?"

She looked up to notice that Douma held a spray bottle in his hand. It read: Bleach.

"Hm, interesting! They say bleach kills flowers quickly. Turns out it's true!" Douma noted happily.

Kanae widened her light purple eyes. "Oh no!"

Douma sprayed Kanae with bleach. Hissssss!


Present time

"Oh I know now! You're the Insect Hashira, right?" Douma pulled up another bottle. "This one's a mixture of chemicals. It's called, 'bug spray'!" Hisssss!

"Oh, no!" Shinobu tried to dodge, but the chemicals hit their target.

"Looks like this thing is very long range," Douma smiled. "I'll save this for later,"

Then Kanao came in the room to find Douma smirking and Shinobu covered in bug spray.

Kanao leapt at Douma and screamed, "Breath of Flowers, Fourth Form: Crimson Hanagoromo!"

"Another Breath of Flower user?" Douma's smirk quickly faded. "Oh, dang! I forgot my bleach!"

Shing shing shing shing!
