A Few Months Earlier \ 数 ヶ 月 前 /
— A LOUD BIWA CHORD struck and echoed through the Infinity Castle. Hikari sat cross-legged next to Nakime, whose expression stayed never-faltering.
Hikari watched as Kamanue, Lower Six, was summoned first, the demon wide-eyed and in awe of the impressive dimension he had teleported to.
'Where the hell is this place?' he thinks.
Kamanue was followed by Enmu, Lower One, who silently walked across a pathway in a slow search for the host of the castle.
Next to be summoned was Rokuro, Lower Two. His cracked face was painted with an expression of fear, the Twelve Kizuki member knowing something was seriously wrong if so many had been summoned at the same time.
'Is this her Blood Demon Art?' Lower Six asks himself mentally, looking up at Nakime. 'It looks like the whole space is distorted around that woman.'
Nakime strikes two more chords on her biwa, and soon the Lower Ranks of the Twelve Kizuki were complete. Hikari watches in awe at Nakime's skill, managing to get a short-lived smile from the demon.
"Only the Lower Ranks of the Twelve Kizuki have been summoned. That's never happened before." Lower Six mutters, looking around. "Lower Five isn't here yet."
Suddenly, all the Lower Ranks were brought to Nakime and Hikari, the five of them stumbling at the sudden teleportation.
'It moved! Is this her doing?' Lower Six thinks.
The five of them scanned their surroundings, before turning forwards and being met with a formidable-looking woman. Hikari and Nakime knew who it was, but the Lower Ranks were naïve to the woman's identity.
'What is it with this woman? Who is she?'
"Lower your heads and kneel down." Muzan says, his voice contradicting with his appearance and shocking the Lower Ranks.
"Prostrate yourselves."
Lower Six sweatdrops. "That's Master Muzan's voice. I didn't recognize him at all! Even his aura is completely different. . . his disguise is astounding!"
"Please forgive us, Master!" Lower Four, Mukago, gasps. "Since you've assumed a different form, we-"
"Who gave you permission to speak?" Muzan interrupts. "Don't presume your thoughts are of any worth to me. All you are allowed to do is answer my questions."
