The war in the Infinity Castle rages on as the demon slayers and demons continue killing each other. Suddenly the many crows begin to yell out. "UPPER 1 IS DEAD! I REPEAT, UPPER RANK 1, KOKUSHIBO IS DEAD!" This victory encourages the demon slayers to keep on fighting, while the demons start to lose hope and get desperate.

"Did you hear that!?" Murata shouted. "With the strongest of the Twelve Kizuki dead, we might have a shot in surviving this!"

"You shouldn't get cocky so soon, Murata." Yushiro coldly said. "Unless Muzan Kibutsuji is dead, then we won't know if we'll see a tomorrow. Now just focus on the crow's navigating."

"Huh!? Don't talk back to me like that! If you're rank's lower than mine is, I'll make sure you regret talking back to me!"

'I'm just a demon. So, I don't know much about ranks aside from the Lower and Upper demons.'

Yushiro was indeed doing his best to not get negative. Through Tamayo's request, he was able to pass on as demon slayer wearing their uniform and because no one know who he is. Of course, he was unhappy. But he still joined acting as backup and support as an excuse. As the demon slayer were trapped in the castle, he joined up his Murata and his squad.

"Look Murata." Ozaki whispered. "Even if he's a nobody, he's still able to keep a calm mind here. So, don't be too hard."

"Fine" Murata sighed. "I just hope we can get some alone time when this is done." Suddenly the castle rapidly shifts around. "Why is this always happening!?"

"There's a demon with the ability to change the entire complex of the fortress." Yushiro stated. "The rooms, the gravity, everything."

"Let's just hope that a Hashira finds that demon."

Running through the fortress Mitsuri and Obanai who met up with Senjuro and Tsuki find a wide-open space and sitting in the center was Nakime. "Aaaahhhh! There she is!" Mitsuri spotted. "Upper Rank Four!"

'Upper Four!?' Obanai realized. 'Muzan already replaced the one that attacked the Swordsmith Village!?'

'Don't give to fear!' Senjuro pepped himself up. 'Kyojuro is risking his life fighting alongside everyone. And even father's prepared to defend the Oyakata. So...' Senjuro leaps at Nakime. 'I need to be at my best!'

Unknowing Fire

Senjuro rushes in, but Nakime catches him off guard summoning a door blocking the attack. 'What!?' The door then opens sending the Flame Tsuguko falling. 'I acted! I acted without even thinking! Why am I trying so hard to be like Kyojuro!?'

Eventually Mitsuri grabs him. "I got you!" she then runs back up to Obanai and Tsuki as she activates her mark.

"Senjuro, we have no idea how our opponent will react." Obanai said. "So, just calm down, think and then react."

"You're right Mr. Iguro."

'I really wanna marry him!' Mitsuri screamed in her thoughts. The floor then opens causing all four to grab onto the edges. More doors below them rapidly open separating them. and column rooms fly at them. Mitsuri concerns for Obanai and is caught off guard. She is propelled up to the roof! "Ahh! I'm gonna get crushed!"
