The air rippled faintly as the [Gate] shimmered before me, its surface swirling like liquid starlight. Behind me stood the guests I had invited—each one an essential piece of the world I had once walked away from.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki stood calmly at the center, dressed in pristine robes, his wife beside him, holding his hand. The illness that had once shackled him in weakness was now gone, and the man he had become radiated quiet authority.

Beside him were the Hashira. Giyu Tomioka’s stoic expression gave nothing away, while Sanemi and Obanai exchanged suspicious glances. Rengoku’s ever-burning enthusiasm glowed in his eyes. Tengen Uzui stood like a noble lord, arms crossed, glittering as always. Mitsuri, ever the bundle of joy, was practically bouncing on her feet, holding Nezuko’s hand, who was with her brother. Muichiro stood quietly to one side, gaze faraway as usual, and Gyomei knelt in silent prayer until it was time to move.

Tanjiro, Zenitsu, Inosuke, and Aoi were here too. Aoi seemed unsure, clearly overwhelmed by the sheer number of powerful individuals. Nezuko clung to her brother, though her eyes sparkled with excitement. Zenitsu looked terrified, constantly glancing at the swirling gate as if it might eat him. Inosuke, on the other hand, was practically vibrating with anticipation.

"All right," I said, stepping in front of the group. "Everyone ready?"

"This is a gate to another world?" Rengoku asked, awe in his voice.

"Not quite," I replied. "It’s a portal to my home—Nazarick."

"Nazarick..." Ubuyashiki repeated softly.

"Yes. This place is far more than it appears," I said with a faint smile. "But don’t worry. As long as you’re with me, you’re safe."

Tengen smirked. "Let’s hope this place is as flashy as the name suggests."

I stepped into the portal, and one by one, the others followed.

The shift was instantaneous.

One moment, we stood before the gate; the next, we were inside the Grand Hall of Nazarick. The change was overwhelming. Marble floors gleamed underfoot. Massive pillars carved with intricate patterns reached toward a ceiling impossibly high. Gold and obsidian mixed in perfect contrast, and mystical energy pulsed gently throughout the room.

Even Gyomei, the most composed of the Hashira, let out a breath of surprise.

"What... is this place?" Giyu asked quietly.

"Nazarick," I said, stepping aside. "Welcome."

Footsteps echoed down the hall as Albedo approached us. Dressed in her white dress and black wings elegantly folded behind her back, she looked every bit the queen she acted as.

She bowed deeply. "Welcome, honored guests of Lord Alex."

Zenitsu gasped. "She’s beautiful... and she called him lord..."

Thank god, he didn’t do anything weird.

Nezuko leaned in closer to Mitsuri, whispering something. Mitsuri giggled.

As the awe began to settle, the group naturally started to split, each person drawn by their own curiosities.

"I would like to explore with my wife," Ubuyashiki said, his voice gentle but clear. "This place... it feels like a treasure trove of mystery and elegance."

"Of course," I replied with a nod. "Feel free to wander the Ninth Floor. Albedo will assign a few Maids to escort and guide you safely."

As they departed, a second group formed with Gyomei, Muichiro, Tengen, Rengoku, Giyu, Sanemi, and Obanai. There was a fire in their eyes—one I recognized easily.

"We were wondering," Rengoku said, practically glowing with excitement, "Is there a place where we can test our skills? Spar, perhaps?"

Sanemi folded his arms. "Yeah. All this talk of magic and majesty is nice, but I want to see how strong things are around here."

I grinned. "You’ll like the amphitheater on the Sixth Floor. Designed for combat, it has arenas that can simulate all kinds of terrain and opponents."

Muichiro tilted his head. "Simulated opponents?"

"I’ll show you," I said, snapping my fingers.

One of my servants appeared instantly to escort them. "Take them to the combat amphitheater," I instructed. "Let them test their strength—but don’t go easy on them."

With excited expressions—some eager, some stern—they followed the servant through a portal to the Sixth Floor.

"Come on, Zenitsu!" Tanjiro called as he, Inosuke, and Zenitsu formed the next group. "Let’s go see what kind of nature this place has!"

"Do you think they have beasts here?!" Inosuke shouted, eyes gleaming.

Zenitsu, still pale, clung to Tanjiro. "I-I want to go home..."

I laughed as they ran off toward the enchanted gardens on the Ninth Floor, led by another servant.

Shinobu approached me next, her eyes sharp with purpose. "You mentioned a library, didn’t you? With knowledge from other worlds?"

"Yes. Entire sections devoted to medicine, biology, and magical healing," I confirmed.

"Then I must see it," she said firmly, her curiosity already blazing.

"Go ahead. I’ll have someone guide you to the Central Library."

Finally, as I turned, I found Mitsuri, Nezuko, and Aoi standing together, arms crossed or hands clasped, looking at me expectantly.

Mitsuri gave me a big smile. "You’re coming with us."

Nezuko nodded enthusiastically. "We want to explore with you."

Aoi blushed, but added, "It’s better that way... someone needs to keep things calm."

I chuckled. "All right, all right. I’ll be your guide."

With that, I offered my hand, and the three girls clung to me happily as we began our own stroll through Nazarick’s wonders.
