Nao swear on her short life that the demon known as Douma was insane. He introduced himself as the Upper Demon Moon Two. He was also the founder of the Eternal Paradise Cult where most of his followers were women.

Nao felt completely creeped out at the fact that he asked her to be his follower. Nao no doubt knows that he eats them. He looks like the insane type who is unfortunately strong and good looking.

His eyes were also like rainbows.

"Hey, hey, how did you met Muzan-sama? What kind of relationship do you have? He's never brought a woman here before. " Douma asked her with a curious glint in his eyes.

Nao did not like the fact that he's inching towards her. All her senses were practically screaming at her to hide and run away from this man. He was dangerous and no doubt out of his mind.

And Nao doesn't like the way he smiles all the time as if it's the only expression he's capable of. He's not even sincere when he smiles. It's almost as if Douma doesn't know how to express his emotions at all.

"Hello there~? Are you still listening?" Douma asked again which made Nao tense a little on her spot.

"Muzan helped me before... I see Muzan as my friend." Nao answered cautiously as she eyed him.

Why would Muzan leave her in such a place when a demon this strong is lurking around? Nao wanted to pull her hair but avoided the idea altogether, choosing to stay sane.

"Friend?" Douma repeated as he looked at Nao, his expression told her that he looked surprised by her answer and then he did the unexpected.

He laughed at Nao. Well not exactly at Nao, but the words Nao told him.

"Ahahahaha!" Douma laughed airily as he tried to cover his face with his right hand.

"That's funny! I can't imagine Muzan-sama being friends with a mortal woman! He doesn't even like humans in general!"

Feeling quite insulted, Nao yelled at him. "I know that Muzan likes me. Muzan and I are good friends afterall. Unlike Douma-san who doesn't seem to have any."

Nao wanted to slap herself and her big mouth. She did not just shouted at a demon. Said demon was capable of killing her in a heartbeat and Nao did not want to end up reaping the consequences of angering a being that was ten times more powerful than her.

To her surprise, Douma simply stared at her with surprise in his features.

"Ehh-? I guess you're right. But wait.. wait, wait! I have one!" He suddenly said, cheering up. "Akaza-dono and I are the best of friends!"

He then placed an arm around her shoulder which made her tense.

"Ahh... Akaza-dono is such a good person. He doesn't eat women at all even though I've told him how nutritious they were since they carry babies on their bellies. But Muzan-sama lets him get away with it as long as he does his job. "He then leans closer to her face and placed his fan under her chin.

"You were the type of woman he'd never eat. This special treatment is just so..."

"Douma-san, are you jealous?"

"Jealous? Not really! I have my followers and worshippers. They love me! While in turn, I grant them salvation! And by being one with them, I am able to save them. I eat them all up without leaving a single speck! Their bones, flesh, and skin, I absorb everything so they can live with me forever. It's part of my duty to guide them to enlightenment afterall."

Nao couldn't help but feel sick at the words coming from his mouth.

"They won't feel pain anymore once they're one with me. I can give you the same happiness if you want, I'll--"

Nao placed a finger on his lips to silence him and with an annoyed expression, she spoke.

"No thank you. Suffering is part of life. There will never be an easy way out. If there is, then it is no doubt for the cowardly." She told him before removing her finger and shrugging off his arm around her.

Nao wanted to watch her hands right then and there. Instead, she stood up and kept a firm distance between them.

"Besides, I can't die yet and Douma-san isn't really going to eat me. Muzan will get angry if you do, am I right?" Nao was bluffing but all the years of training she received as a lady finally paid off. Although it was actually true that Muzan is already angry, she was not sure if he would even feel anything if this demon killed her.

Nao really didn't know what she was to Muzan. The only thing that Nao knows is that she would happily stay friends with Muzan even if he's a demon, a person so vastly different from her who was 100% human.

"Now, now, that's being unfair. Using his Lordship's favor to keep yourself alive is smart but also naive. "Douma smiled at Nao, a smile that showed his teeth and fangs as he stared at her with amusement dancing in his eyes. It was as if she was the most interesting person there is to him.

"Muzan-sama won't really care that much if we kill one human, a woman or a man, children or the elderly. As long as we follow and obey him then it's fine! I mean, Muzan-sama seem to only tolerate you because you have value to him. You're an Ubuyashiki afterall~ If not, then he wouldn't even bat an eyelash if I devour you right now."

It was almost disturbing how a person could say that straight to your face as if it's normal to bestow people their death sentence. Douma didn't even looked like he cared about what he said. He was simply stating his thoughts to Nao which made her uncomfortable.

The fact that he really wanted to absorb her bothered Nao a lot but the truth that she was only being kept alive because of her identity made her feel a fang of hurt inside her chest.

Did Muzan merely kept Nao alive as some sort of bargaining chip against her brother? A hostage perharps? But Kagaya won't yield just because his younger sister was caught. Nao knows that her brother was capable of sacrificing her if it meant that the demon slayer corps would have an upper hand against demons. He was simply that type of leader who was capable of gritting his teeth and bearing a person's loss behind his back so that a lot of people would be saved in the process.

But how did Muzan even know that Nao was an Ubuyashiki? And Douma knows her identity as well which means the other demons must also know who Nao is.

Nao really felt extremely bothered now. The situation wasn't good. Nao now regrets drinking the medicine that Muzan gave her. It's as though Nao was only asleep for a short time and a lot of things have already happened.

There were so many things she wanted to ask Muzan but Muzan wouldn't even answer her question back then so Nao doubted that he would be willing to enlighten her.

"You're suddenly so silent~ Is it because I'm right afterall~?" Douma asked while he clapped his hands, long sharp nails showing as he moved towards Nao in a casual manner.

Nao felt endangered as he did so.

"Oh pardon me! I didn't even asked your name! But from what Akaza-dono said, you're name is --"

"Mimi" A voice said. "Come here."

Nao whipped her head to the side.

Muzan was standing on the other side of the room where a door mysteriously appeared out of nowhere and opened itself without someone doing it. He was holding a vial with a clear blue liquid.

His eyes were focused on his work and he looked like he was too busy to even look at her.

"Muzan-sama, you're here--"

"Shut up." Muzan said in a flat tone, cutting Douma off.

"Who told you to speak? I didn't asked you to open your mouth. I was talking to Mimi. "As Muzan said that, there were suddenly veins appearing on Douma's skin which made Nao's eyes widened.

"Mimi is mine. Who gave you the permission to talk to her? To approach her? Why are you even breathing the same air as Mimi?" Muzan's eyes shifted slightly to glance at Douma who started trembling, blood dripping from his mouth.

"Douma. Are you tired of living?"
