Demon Slayer: I Love Killing Demons in My Dreams

Don't dream in front of me. Your dreams might seem real, and I'll find a loophole to exploit.

Zenitsu, surrounded by little flowers: "Really?! Then I want to dream about marrying Nezuko!"

Tanjiro, looking hopeful: "Really? Then I want Nezuko to become human!"

The Hashira, fired up: "Really? Then we want Muzan to drink wisteria and bask in the sun!"

The Dream Demon: "..." You sure do have beautiful dreams.

All of you are just fantasizing.

At the Demon Slayer Corps

The first time Sanemi Shinazugawa saw the Dream Demon:

"Ah! You loathsome demon! What Blood Demon Art are you using to deceive everyone? And why do you look human?" He cut himself with his sword. "Come on, demon! Show your ugly face!"

"Are you an idiot?" The Dream Demon was baffled.

"You loathsome demon! Wind Breathing, First Form: Dust Whirlwind Cutter!" His blade sliced off the Dream Demon's head, but its whole body turned into butterflies and scattered in every direction.

"What? So it really is a Blood Demon Art! Damn it!" Sanemi shouted angrily.

The Dream Demon sat on the roof, swinging its legs. "Were you looking for me?"

"Wind Breathing, Second Form: Claws, Purifying Wind!"

"Good grief..."

"I'm over here." The Dream Demon waved from a tree.

"Wind Breathing..."

"Wind..."

"..."

The butterflies flew and flew...

"Tired? Can you calm down and listen to me now?"

Realizing he'd been fooled over and over, Sanemi Shinazugawa said, "...Damn it!"

When it met Akaza:

The Dream Demon smiled. "The sun's coming up."

Akaza had learned from Doma that the Dream Demon was a liar, so he stood perfectly still until the sunlight fell across his face.

"Ah, what's happening?" Akaza vanished.

"I told you the sun was coming up," the Dream Demon murmured.

Akaza was teleported to the Infinity Castle. "Damn it!"

When it met Kokushibo:

The Dream Demon pointed at the sky. "It's almost dawn."

Kokushibo ignored it and attacked. "Moon Breathing!"

The next second, a ray of light seemed to spill from the horizon.

"Nakime!" Muzan shouted, having seen the battle through Kokushibo's eyes.

Kokushibo was teleported back to the Infinity Castle.

The next time it met Kokushibo:

"The sun's coming up."

"Nakime!" Kokushibo vanished and was teleported back to the Infinity Castle.

The time after that:

"The sun's coming..."

Kokushibo vanished.

And the time after that:

"The su..."

He vanished.

Kokushibo: "..."

From then on, a legend arose among the Twelve Kizuki about Upper Rank One.

Upper Rank One was either on his way back or on his way to disappearing.

The Dream Demon: "..."

Muzan: If I can't tell what's real and what's fake, I'll just lie low, and have the demons lie low with me.

Demons: What a damn nuisance. Guess we'll just wait it out. It's only a human.

Demon Slayer Corps: What a pain. Keep killing demons, I guess.

Kokushibo: "..." Looks like this has nothing to do with me.

Did you really think lying low would keep you safe?

Muzan and a group of demons meet the Demon Slayer Corps in a dream: Don't come any closer!

It's so much fun fooling demons.

Theme: Everyone should learn to distinguish reality from illusion and live earnestly.
