The Entertainment District

Early morning, on the street.

Teiichi people stood quietly at the entrance of the Entertainment District.

Behind the crowd was a dimly lit street, illuminated only by a few streetlights.

Ahead lay a street with carved railings and jade steps, as bright as day.

Zenitsu stared wide-eyed at the scene before him, his face filled with disbelief.

I was just called over without really understanding what was going on.

On the way Teiichi let them sleep to replenish their energy, so he didn't ask too many questions.

The mission turned out unexpectedly...

They actually came to such an indecent place.

Could it be that Mr. Kato saw how hard we were training and brought us out to relax?

Zenitsu raised a finger and pointed to the street ahead, still somewhat incredulous, and said:

"This... this is..."

Tanjiro looked at Zenitsu with a puzzled expression. "Zenitsu, is there a problem here?"

Zenitsu turned to look at Tanjiro.

"This... this place... you really don't know?"

Tanjiro looked up and examined the area carefully, but couldn't see any difference between it and what he had seen in Tokyo before.

"There's nothing wrong! What's wrong? Haven't you seen Zenitsu before?"

Seeing that Tanjiro genuinely didn't know where they were, Zenitsu opened his mouth to explain.

"No... this is... you know what I mean, right? Men should all know! It's that kind of place..."

"That kind of place?" Tanjiro murmured.

"Yes, that's the kind of place!"

What kind of place is it?

"That kind of place!"

"Stop babbling on and on! Get out of the way, I'm here to kill ghosts!"

Inosuke interrupted their conversation, took two steps forward, and gripped the hilts of his Nichirin Blade with both hands, intending to draw it.

Upon Teiichi, Teiichi quickly stepped forward and reached out to stop Inosuke.

"Alright, it'll be dawn in a few hours. I brought you here tonight mainly to let you get familiar with the place."

The mission will officially begin tomorrow!

As he spoke, Teiichi his gaze on Zenitsu.

"Don't overthink it. We're here on a mission, not to spend money! Besides, you're still too young!"

"Nonsense, I'm not a kid!" Zenitsu protested, raising his hand.

Ignoring him, Teiichi and Uzui led the group into the Entertainment District.

Unlike the sparse crowds at the entrance to Entertainment District.

The further you go in, the more people there are, and the noisier it gets.

Inosuke had been full of energy at the entrance to the Entertainment District, now looked rather listless.

He found life in the mountains very difficult to adapt to in an environment with so many people.

He could only follow closely behind Teiichi and Uzui.

Tanjiro, holding Nezuko, leaned towards Teiichi and asked:

"Um, Mr. Kato, don't the people here sleep?"

"No, Tanjiro, they came here to sleep. Oh, no, they didn't come here to sleep!" Zenitsu said with a lewd grin.

"Huh? What does Zenitsu mean by that?" Tanjiro looked at Zenitsu in confusion.

"Don't pay him any attention. You'll find out about this in a couple of years!"

Teiichi said something.

We can't let Zenitsu lead Tanjiro astray.

Hey there, buddy over there, wanna come up and have some fun?

A crisp sound came from the side.

Upon hearing this, Zenitsu stopped walking and looked over.

Several girls dressed in kimonos and with exquisite makeup were smiling in his direction.

A blush crept onto Zenitsu's cheeks, Zenitsu smile involuntarily spread across his face as he pointed to himself.

"Me... me?"

The girl holding a palm-leaf fan paused, then spoke:

"No, I was referring to the young man next to you wearing the white haori!"

"Eh? White... white haori?"

Zenitsu's lips twitched slightly, his gaze slowly sweeping across the room before finally settling on Teiichi.

Bang!

Before Dingyi could Teiichi move, Tengen Uzui threw a punch first.

"This is so annoying! You better behave yourself! It's too early for you to be thinking about doing this kind of thing now. Wait two years before you start!"

After being punched, Zenitsu, following quietly behind the others.

As Tengen Uzui walked forward, he explained.

This is Yoshiwara Entertainment District Japan).

It's Tokyo's most famous red-light district.

It's a place that only operates at night.

How about it? Isn't this a perfect place for ghosts to live?

Tanjiro nodded, his eyes continuing to dart around.

Tengen Uzui continued his introduction:

"Every day, many women are forced to sell themselves here as geishas because of debt or poverty."

They need to learn various skills to please guests.

In exchange, they don't have to worry about food and clothing.

Some conscientious bosses might even pay a small salary.

And in the process of providing services as a geisha.

If they're lucky, they might catch the eye of a customer.

They could even be redeemed by a customer and regain their freedom.

If you have good aptitude and work hard enough.

She might even become the most beautiful courtesan.

"At that point, it will be a real money tree!"

At this point, Tengen Uzui stopped and looked at Teiichi.

"How about it Kato? Should I find you a courtesan?"

"..."

"Shut your mouth!"

Tengen Uzui laughed heartily and continued his introduction:

"This mission was originally supposed to be handled by the Flame Hashira Kyojuro Rengoku."

But isn't he receiving treatment at the Butterfly Mansion right now?

So the task was assigned to me.

And your task is very simple.

My priority is finding my wife!

"Huh?"

Upon hearing this, Zenitsu stopped walking in his tracks once again.

Tengen Uzui turned around, somewhat annoyed.

You'd better be busy!

"Do you know what this is called?" Zenitsu lowered his head, his face somewhat gloomy.

Tengen Uzui frowned, raised his hand and picked at his ear, looking impatient.

What should I call this?

Zenitsu suddenly looked up, his face full of indignation, and said, "This is called abusing your position for personal gain! What's with having your teammates help you find a wife? I don't even have a wife myself!!"

Zenitsu's words struck Tengen Uzui like a bolt of lightning.

"Hey, hey, hey! Have you misunderstood something?"

"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding? Didn't you say it yourself?"

Zenitsu spoke angrily, and then turned to look at Teiichi.

"And Mr. Kato, really! Why would you agree to something like this?"

Teiichi raised his hand and patted Zenitsu on the shoulder, explaining on behalf of Tengen Uzui:

"He has a wife. She infiltrated the mission beforehand, but she disappeared, which is why this happened!"

Upon hearing this, Zenitsu's anger subsided, and he awkwardly opened his mouth to ask:

"So... that's how it is?"

Teiichi and confirmed it again.

Tengen Uzui roared angrily at Zenitsu.

"Apologize to me right now, kid!"

Zenitsu was so startled that he immediately bowed and apologized:

I'm so sorry!

After he finished speaking, another, slightly gloomy voice rang out.

Have they gone missing?
