Some Things on the Entertainment District / Two People
Inosuke: "..."
"Alright, there's a Wisteria House on the way to the Flower District. Let's go there and get ready." The atmosphere was unusually serious, and at the suggestion of the Sound Pillar, the group immediately headed to their destination.
Any family whose house bears the Wisteria Family Crest is one that will help the Demon Slayer Corps without expecting anything in return. Therefore, the Sound Pillar Hashira is bossy and completely lacks any manners.
After the feast, everyone started thinking about what to do next.
"The purpose, of course, is to save my three wives."
Having three wives naturally irritated Zenitsu, making him furious and yell things like, "Why should we save your wives?" until the Sound Pillar explained the reason.
"Even if I haven't caught them red-handed, they've been infiltrating the Flower District for a long time. This time, you'll need to disguise yourselves as girls..."
"Women's clothing?" Su Lin turned to look at Tanjiro and the others, knowing that some truly shocking outfits were about to appear.
"What do you mean? Why are you giving us that disdainful look? You're just like us!" Zenitsu Agatsuma exploded.
"Tch, I'm not like you guys." Su Lin didn't care at all about her ability to become a girl being exposed.
"In short, the people you are going to rescue are Suma from the Tokito House, Makio from the Hagimoto House, and Hinatsuru from the Kyougoku House."
"Your wife might already be dead," Inosuke bluntly stated.
"Puff--"
A powerful punch landed squarely on his stomach.
After making some preparations, the group headed to their destination.
The Flower District is Japan's most famous red-light district, where you can see geishas dressed in their finest attire everywhere. Among them, the highest-ranking courtesan, whose face is rarely seen, is none other than the Warabihime. What the others do not know is that the so-called demon is her and another Upper Rank Six within her.
Upon arriving at her destination and before meeting the buyer, Su Lin tidied her hair, slowly transforming into Yukino.
This immediately made everyone else's eyes widen.
Even Sound Pillar, who had learned everything from the meeting, was stunned for a moment.
However... he couldn't be bothered to comment on it.
It's currently confirmed that some of the women are actually Su Lin in disguise, but there's no evidence to prove that all of them are. Perhaps one of them is his real wife. After all, the girls are very different, and each has different abilities. It's quite possible that Yukino, who seems normal, is actually Su Lin in disguise.
"Holy crap... So, so you're a woman? No, I mean, you've mastered such advanced makeup skills!" Zenitsu Agatsuma exclaimed.
"Idiot, have you ever seen such fast and realistic makeup? He turned into a woman directly, we've all been fooled, this guy's gender is a complete mystery." Zenitsu Agatsuma had just shouted this when Yukino punched him to the ground.
"You're the one whose gender is a mystery. I'm a woman now, but I was a man before, understand?"
"That's too strong." Tanjiro exclaimed in shock.
It looks completely natural, or rather, it's like she's actually become a woman... just kidding, why is her chest so flat? It makes you suspicious.
"Why are girls' chests so flat?" Inosuke asked the same blunt question.
Yukino punched him away on the spot.
"Sorry, I'm a guy, so I don't care about whether my chest is flat or not when I change my appearance. But you... are really annoying me."
The "girl" was eventually delivered to the buyer.
"Oh dear, what a careless little girl."
To be honest, the buyer was really shocked to see Tanako Tanjiro, Zenitsu Agatsuma Zenko, Inosuke Hashibira Inoko.
It's so damn ugly.
Okay, that's not the point. When she saw Yukino standing among the three ugly women, she immediately perked up.
"Not bad, not bad, I'll take it."
Yukino looked annoyed, crossed her arms, snorted, and turned her head away.
This is for a mission, not for actually becoming a geisha.
Once she finds and kills Upper Rank Six, her mission will be complete. As for the Sound Pillar's three wives, they will naturally be rescued at that time.
"As for the other three, we don't need them. After all, one person is enough."
"All right."
It can only be sent elsewhere.
The mission was to investigate three locations, and unfortunately, Zenitsu Agatsuma, who was supposed to be sold to Kyougoku House and meet Upper Rank Six, is still stuck there.
However, having gone through so much, Yukino, who already believed in the convergence of Worldline, didn't care at all, and even wanted to laugh a little.
Yukino was sold to the Tokito House, where the famous courtesan Koinatsu was located; naturally, she was extremely beautiful.
However, Yukino's arrival directly impacted the other party's status, Koinatsu seemed completely unconcerned.
"You can stay in this room tonight."
Because of her exceptional strength, her extremely beautiful appearance, and her ever-present friendly smile, Yukino easily won the favor of some people.
However, people are prone to jealousy, and not every geisha could accept Yukino.
But to her, these were all trivial matters.
Chapter 161 Some Things in the Flower District
"Oh my, Yukino did a really good job. Even if she did nothing else, I'm very satisfied with just doing some hard labor. Why don't you meet with the guests earlier tomorrow?"
"Snort..."
There's no point in interacting with the guests.
Upon hearing the landlady's words, Yukino's eyelids twitched.
This isn't Maid Cafe; it's a place where you actually have to offer your body. So, if the proprietress asks you to do anything, Yukino absolutely refuse. Otherwise, the customer is bound to be in big trouble.
However, because of Yukino's presence, more and more visitors from the surrounding area have come to visit.
Putting everything else aside, at least Koinatsu's popularity has started to decline, while Yukino, a young, beautiful, and seemingly very pure girl, has become the target of countless customers.
But top-tier players are top-tier because they are not so easy to get access to.
For most guests, it would be an honor to even Upper Rank One Koinatsu, let alone receive proper hospitality.
The proprietress knew this well, so she hid Yukino in the house and created a scarcity marketing strategy, only letting her show herself briefly when the customers couldn't wait any longer.
Over time, countless people even fought each other to become the first guest.
"Hmph, disgusting. Anyway, I've completed my mission."
There's really nothing much to do each day except for some simple tasks; it's very easy.
Her idea was that she would come into contact with ordinary guests sooner or later, which was naturally very dangerous (referring to the guests). In order to prevent herself from doing something terrible, she decided to make her true form the first guest.
You're saying you can't get first place?
Impossible. The main body is super rich right now, not to mention that as long as Yukino agrees, doing something like this is not difficult at all.
At worst, I can just buy it out like everyone else.
"Damn, I never thought I'd have a day like this."
While carrying the goods in a depressed mood, Yukino, who happened to be passing by Koinatsu's room, suddenly stopped and overheard the two people inside whispering to each other.
"I heard that the landlady of the Shock House fell out of the window and died. That's terrible. We need to be careful too."
"Yes, a lot of older sisters have been disappearing lately, it's really scary."
"Withdraw all?"
Yukino paused for a moment, then immediately realized what it meant.
The term "exiting" refers to fleeing the Flower District without paying off one's debts. Of course, if such a person is caught, the outcome is often disastrous.
To be honest, almost everyone who is sold to the Flower District, whether willingly or unwillingly, has a tragic past.
As Yukino stopped, a gentle voice suddenly came from behind her. "What are you doing?"
Looking back, I realized that Koinatsu, the courtesan, was standing behind me.
"Most of these things are just rumors. It's like Suma, the courtesan; nobody even knows if she's actually done it."
"..."
She seemed completely indifferent to this kind of thing.
However, I knew in my heart that it was mostly related to Upper Rank Six. Basically, these are signs created by demons to safely kill or eat their prey; countless such things must have happened in the last hundred years.
I remember that Upper Rank Six must have killed at least seven Pillars.
But it doesn't matter. No matter how great the potential is, it's not Upper Rank Three right now. They are easy opponents for Kurotama and X to deal with.
However, the people she most wanted to kill were actually Doma, who was Upper Rank Two, and Muzan. The former was a demon completely devoid of emotion, and as for the latter, there was really nothing commendable about Muzan's known deeds.
Time passed, and the next day, Zenitsu Agatsuma was missing from the group of people who had gathered together.
"Looks like you all had a good day yesterday." Yukino shrugged. "There's basically no need to think about it. The enemy is in the Horror House, and it's very likely an Upper Rank demon."
"The Upper Rank? Even you say so... then it's certainly possible."
Tengen Uzui had also clearly sensed this during this period; the aura of the demon this time was far stronger than he had imagined.
Yukino, sitting next to him, felt like she was missing something.
"Sigh, it's all my fault for not reading the comics carefully back then."
Who would have thought they would time travel and end up in the world of Demon Slayer?
However, after experiencing so much, there really isn't a world that can be called easy; the only place I've found some warmth is in the world of My Hero Academia.
Tengen Uzui was in a bad mood at the moment. He frowned heavily and suddenly stood up. "I'm afraid I've harmed you. I will handle the rest of the operation by myself. You don't need to come with me."
"Mr. Yu Zhuan..."
As soon as Tanjiro opened his mouth, the Sound Pillar turned around and glanced at him. "There's no need to be ashamed. Those who go missing are considered dead. Sometimes, surviving is a victory."
"That's not necessarily true. Don't forget why we came here." Yukino sneered. "Upper Rank Three is dead, so what if it's Upper Rank One? Besides, it's not just you few this time. Kurotama and X will also be participating."
"I really feel unworthy of your help. I've made a lot of wrong decisions because of my wife, and I'm worried that something else might happen that will harm you. So, for the next step, do whatever you think is most likely to succeed. Don't worry about me."
"Okay, I'll only focus on killing Upper Rank Six, I won't get involved in your wife rescue."
Anyway, we already know that the target is Daki, who is also the Warabihime of the Shock House, and the real risk is inside her body. There are actually two demons to deal with.
Yukino jumped off the roof and started running towards the House of Horrors.
On the way, she saw Koinatsu standing at the door of the Tokito House was staying.
"Yukino, why did you change back into your own clothes? They are very pretty, but as a geisha, they are a little too revealing."
Although Yukino changed into a robe yesterday, she naturally displeased Koinatsu when she reverted to her Sailor Uniform today for the sake of convenience in battle.
"I'm sorry, Koinatsu, but I didn't come here to become a geisha."
"So that's how it is. It seems my intuition was right. A pure girl like you shouldn't be tainted by such a filthy place. These past few days, I've been lying in bed thinking, why did it have to be you who came to this kind of place?"
"There's nothing we can do about it. A girl as pretty as Koinatsu shouldn't have to go down this path," Yukino said.
"Yes, but I'm leaving here soon. A man is going to marry me, and I'm really happy right now." Her face flushed slightly. "I never thought anyone would accept someone as filthy as me."
Congratulations.
Yukino was not distracted; she wasn't in a hurry to kill the Upper Rank, and she didn't dislike the good-natured Koinatsu.
Rather, it's more accurate to say that this girl has been taking good care of herself during this time, and she often shares the snacks that customers give her with Yukino.
If a courtesan were to encounter a woman who could rival her in appearance, she would probably be seething with hatred.

PS: The Lunar New Year is almost here before I know it... time flies so fast. I realize that a fraction of my life is already gone, and it feels like I haven't lived at all.
Chapter 162 Two People
Just as Yukino finished chatting with the other person and was about to go kill the demon, an equally beautiful figure descended from the sky, crashing through the roof and appearing inside the house.
