Muzan's thought's
Kokushibo's thought's

3) Kokushibo's POV :

Damnit.
It happened again.
Lord Muzan was talking and my mind blanked it out again.
...
The chance is severely high that my punishment will be painful.
As is deserved, Lord Muzan would be right to punish me.
...I haven't been punished for decades and this mess up will certainly be it for me.
I don't know when it will happen, but it's obvious from the way that Lord Muzan looked at me several times in this meeting , that punishment is the only resort.
... It isn't my place to decline punishment though, this is to be expected when you ignore Lord Muzan.
Why is my brain acting like this?!
Lord Muzan..

The long haired, six eyed demon patiently waited for his punishment.
The only words his mind didn't blank out though, were..

"M : "you are all free to clear out""

Which confused the upper ranked demon even more.

What was going on? Wasn't he supposed to get punished? Was Lord Muzan in the right mind?
As you could tell, he didn't expect this.
It took a few seconds, but after he looked down upon the other upper rank's leave, he stood straight as well.
He was unsure of leaving, because something told him to stay.
But if Lord Muzan requested him to leave, he was sure to.
Taking his stance and almost taking off, before..

"M : Except for you, upper 1 , you're staying whether you like it or not."

Strangely, this brought peace to Kokushibo's mind.
He was relieved that Muzan kept him here, or else the thought of punishment would've haunted his mind the whole night.
He stood up straight again and turned left, to look down at Muzan from the inclosed podium above.

Surely, the dark haired biwa lady was able to teleport him to Muzan.
To which the six eye'd demon immediately knelt down to,
Keeping his head lowered and on one knee.

The upper ranked demon couldn't see it, but the Demon Lord tilted his head slightly at him in curiosity, whilst looking down on him.

Kokushibo expected immediate punishments for his cowardly acts, and fully accepted it as well.

Little did Kokushibo know though, Muzan had no intention of hurting him.. Too much.

Muzan's right hand quickly reached down to roughly grasp the upper 1's demons hair tightly.
Making sure that Kokushibo felt pain, but holding back his anger for now.
His left hand was behind his back, and his posture was precise.
He was never too hard on Kokushibo, and it showed.
Kokushibo was a valued ally after all, so Muzan wouldn't want to take out his best demon.
His blood red eyes staring down at Kokushibo with anger, squinting ever so slightly as he spoke.

M : "Uppermoon 1."

M : "Do you know why you were summoned?"

It quickly became hard to breathe, the atmosphere changed completely, the air becoming thin.
Kokushibo remained calm though, and kept his head low, not moving an inch and resisting the pain.
