Time passed.
Su Chen returned to the Butterfly Mansion once again.
This time, Su Chen used the secret entrance, quietly slipping past the Corps members who had been waiting for his return.
As soon as he entered the inner room, Su Chen spotted a familiar, enormous backpack.
"What's this?" Su Chen asked tentatively.
"It's your backpack, Master Su Chen!" Kiyo popped out from somewhere and said, "You're finally back, Master Su Chen! Aren't you happy to see your things weren't lost?"
But Su Chen's face turned pale as he said, "Didn't I leave this backpack behind?"
"It was Tanjiro," Kanao Tsuyuri said. "Tanjiro said your backpack was on the train. He was worried you were too tired, so he brought your luggage back with him."
Su Chen: "???"
Su Chen's heart skipped a beat.

Su Chen truly hadn't expected this turn of events. He hadn't expected the normally honest and enthusiastic Tanjiro to be quite this enthusiastic.

Wasn't I completely screwed now?!
The others didn't know what was inside the backpack, but Su Chen did!
Weren't those the skimpy little outfits Hinatsuru and the others had given him...
"What's in here? We were so busy when Tanjiro brought it back that we never opened it to look."
Kiyo scratched her head and said, "It's all my fault. I'll open it for you now, Mr. Su Chen. You just get some rest."
"Stop!"
Su Chen roared.
He successfully stopped Kiyo in her tracks.
Kiyo looked bewildered. "What's wrong, Master Su Chen?"
Su Chen paused and thought for a moment. "Well... this backpack has clothes I haven't washed yet. They're filthy. Don't touch them. Just leave it
