Muichiro had a sudden thougth, while he wanted so badly to get out of there, at the same time he wanted to know the demons he will have to rule over...

He could start by asking what they did the week and half that he was out of commission, hopefully his growing anxiety will subside and he could get a friendly talk with them.

Even if they were ancient beings that had killed and devoured hundreds, even thousands of humans during his life as demons.

He should start somewhere if he will have to rule over them, right?

"What did you do during the week after I became your new ruler?" -he asked, his curiosity slowly taking over his nerves.

When he finished saying his question, almost instantly all of the demons started talking. Muichiro couldn't understood a single thing they were saying, so he started loosing his patience.

Before he could scream at them to shut up, Kokushibo beat him to it and quickly made them go silent by releasing his killing intent. It was so strong that made all the present demons shudder, with the exception of Muichiro.

"I'm gonna make sure that next time I'll tell them to speak one by one, they at first looked more well behaved than... This" -Muichiro murmured with an anoyed tone, he knew it was probably the change of king that made them more anxious, and that they were probably more serious than this, but he had hoped that they at least would know that he can't understand them if they were all talking at the same time.

He in the end, decided to give them a second oportunity...

"Ok, I'm gonna try again, but please speak one at a time... What did you do after I became your new ruler? And could you say your name afterward?" -he asked once again.

The first to speak was was a demon that had multiple drums inserted in his body, in his eye could be read 'lowermoon six'.

"Muichiro-sama, I'm Kyogai, after you became our king, I stayed in my cabin waiting for the meeting to be called, I knew it was pointless to look for you because sooner or later one of us would have found you, but I still ate some humans that got too close to my place" -the demon now known as Kyogai said.

Muichiro could fell that the demons were really happy to finally meet him, and for some reason, that gave him a feeling of uneasinness, getting the vibes that he won't really like what he would hear from the demons, like the last part Kyogai said.

The next one to talk, was the one that gave him spider vibes appart from Kokushibo, he was a little albino boy, that looked the same age as him, his eyes had the kanji for lowermoon 5.

"Muichiro-sama my name is Rui, I carefully took care of all the demon slayers that got in my mountain and the travelers... I let some of them through peacefully so to not arise suspicion, I still asked every one of the ones I killed if they have heared anything from you though" -he said it with a bored face, but Muichiro could read a little bit of happiness from him.

Muichiro after hearing what Rui said, he thought that he could get along with him, just because he didn't kill all of the people going through his mountain.

The next one, was the demon that had rainbow eyes, Muichiro didn't wanted to hear him and get the gosebumps he got when he heared what he did when Kokushibo told him.

"Muichiro-sama..." -he begin, but was interrupted by Muichiro.

"I already know, Kokushibo told me before we came here, there is no need for you to tell me again" -He really didn't wanted to hear of the masacre he caused again, if he could prevent it he will.

"Ow, but I was so exited to tell you myself" -Douma said with a dissapointed tone.

"Well that's not going to happen, who's next?" -Muichiro asked.

This time, the ones to reply was the demon with white hair and revealing clothes, Muichiro already felt unconfortable by just staring at her, and got surprised when from her back another demon appeared, he was slim and his ribs were visible, he had short dark hair fading into green, and they were uppermoon six.

The new demon kneeled besides the white haired one, and he caught so much Muichiro's interest to the point that he didn't pay any attention to the demon speaking.

"... hiro-sama, Muichiro-sama, are you listening to me?"- the demon whined when she noticed that her leader's attention was somewhere else.

Muichiro didn't knew how to answer, he was too focused on trying to understand how a demon literally grew out of her back, completely forgetting that the blood demon arts existed. But it wasn't too long before he got focused again.

"I'm sorry, I was wondering who was the demon that got out from your back, you can continue" -Muichiro said, somewhat apologetic, it seems that old habbits die hard.

"ohh, that demon is my brother Gyutaro and I'm daki, what we did the past week was stay in the red light district, staying aware if your presence was near us so that we could meet you, and eating lots of humans to get stronger" -Daki said, sounding really excited now that she was in front of Muichiro.

"Exactly what she said, Muichiro-sama" -said gyutaro, not adding anything to what his sister said.

"Ok, who's next?" -by this point, Muichiro was getting tired of the demons adding if they ate humans or not, he preffered if they didn't mention it.

Now the one to speak was the demon with mouths in the hands that had the rank of lowermoon one, to Muichiro he looked like a creep who would probably stalk him, he'll need to keep an eye on him in the future.

"Muichiro-sama, I'm so happy that you finally grace us with your presence, my name is Enmu and I was waiting for a train to be built, actually I still am, that would be the perfect place to go hunting and make people have loving dreams before turning them to nightmares and eat them" -he said with a creepy dreamy voice that send some shivers through Muichiro's spine, definitively not someone he would like to hang out in the future, it would be perfect if someone slay him in the near future.

The pink haired one was the next one, he just said that he went asking every man in his path if they have saw him, practically what he dreamed of, and the other ones were too scared to speak.

Kokushibo simply choose not to because he find it pointless to say such thing.

So the reunion ended like that, and Muichiro told Nakime to get them to where they were before they got in the infinity castle, only leaving Neol, Nakime and himself left in the fortress.

But what happened with the hashiras that chased them before getting there?

I have a question for you my dear readers, and depending on your answer that this story might have a sequel in the future.

Do you want a happy ending or a tragic one?

Because I can do both, since I haven't planned an ending yet.

The choice is yours.
