Summary
The demon pivots on his heel, disregarding the furious Pillars and their weapons. He turns towards Ubuyashiki-sama who has appeared in the door.
“I will help you defeat the Demon King,” the demon announces, though that sentence is clearly unfinished. Giyuu stops breathing when the demon points right at him, “but that Slayer is mine.”The Slayer Corps is losing the war against Muzan.
Kyoujurou is an old and powerful demon able to help them defeat the Demon King—but he won’t do it for free.
Giyuu makes a deal fully expecting the story of his life to turn into a body horror, but willing to make that sacrifice.
Kyoujurou hopes for it to turn into a romance instead.
One of them is right.
(Or: Tomioka Giyuu slowly re-learning how to smile thanks to a severely underslept demon.) -

Summary
Synopsis: Tomioka Giyuu was an enigma the moment Uzui Tengen laid eyes on him. How could someone live life constantly in a state of grief and depression? How dreary and bleak. There was nothing flamboyant or flashy about the way the Water Pillar seemed to drift aimlessly. But there was an unheard sound beyond the still waters of the Water Pillar’s outer exterior—something soft, something dulcet, something Uzui could not place his finger on. If being raised as a shinobi taught Tengen anything worthwhile, it would be to observe and listen. And if that’s what it took to decode Giyuu Tomioka, you better believe that’s damn well what he’s going to do.
