Tengen Uzui glanced at Inosuke and nodded solemnly.
"Um!"
"Damn it! I will definitely find that demon and kill him to avenge them!!" Inosuke gritted his teeth.
Anger, sadness...
This is the scent that Tanjiro's nose detects.
Tanjiro raised his hand and gently patted Inosuke's body.
Inosuke must have received a lot of care from Mr. Uzui during his training.
However, Tengen Uzui frowned after hearing Inosuke's words.
"Hey kid, they might not be dead yet!"
Upon Inosuke perked up and eagerly asked:
"Really?"
Tengen Uzui nodded.
"Just days before they started investigating the disappearances, another geisha went missing. Given a demon's appetite, it wouldn't eat people this quickly!"
"Great!" Inosuke exclaimed happily.
Teiichi added, "But we can't be too optimistic. If they can't be found, they're in danger too!"
Inosuke said nonchalantly, "Hmph, it's good that they're alright. I'll rescue them before then!"
"That's my line, you know!"
The next day.
Tengen Uzui took Tanjiro and the other two to make arrangements, Teiichi Nezuko.
To make it easier for them to travel, Teiichi to shrink Nezuko into the shape of a little girl.
Then, he strolled around the Entertainment District with Nezuko by the hand, his eyes constantly darting about.
I only took a quick look around yesterday, and since it was already quite late, many attractions on Entertainment District were already closed.
It's still early today, and the Entertainment District is much more lively than yesterday.
Teiichi led Nezuko around, looking at the surroundings.
The Entertainment District has indeed encountered a blind spot in Teiichi's knowledge.
I'd never been to a place like this in my past life.
I've never visited a place like this before, even when I was out protesting.
Moreover, in this day and age, nothing is banned.
emmm...
Teiichi's gaze swept around the Entertainment District.
It has a unique charm!
"Sir!"
The sudden voice made Teiichi stop in his tracks and look in that direction.
It was an old woman dressed in a brown kimono.
Is the madam here to solicit business?
Teiichi, he casually asked, "What?"
The madam pointed to Nezuko, who was standing next to Teiichi.
How much do you want for this child?
"..."
"Um?"
The madam looked at Teiichi with some suspicion.
Looking at the madam in front of him, Teiichi's forehead veins throbbed slightly.
Her lips parted slightly, and she uttered a single word.
"Roll!"
The madam was taken aback by what she heard, but she did not give up.
She hadn't seen such a talented girl in a long time, so she continued to persuade her:
"You may not know, but I'm the madam of the Keisei House. This child has excellent potential; if I could take him back, I could further refine him..."
Teiichi's forehead veins throbbed faster and faster. Before the madam could finish speaking, he said again:
"I told you to get out, didn't you hear me?"
The slightly angry words made the madam stop. She looked at Nezuko with pity, then glanced at Teiichi with disgust.
"Tch! What are you pretending for? Who brings a little girl out to stroll through Entertainment District!"
After saying that, he turned and left on his own.
Teiichi's lips twitched slightly, but he didn't know what to say.
The key point is that what they said wasn't wrong; it's true.
What kind of man takes a little girl out to a red-light district?
No, I didn't come here to visit the red-light district.
Thinking this, Teiichi turned around and continued walking forward with Nezuko.
Halfway there, Teiichi's hand, Teiichi was holding Nezuko's, was suddenly tugged.
Teiichi looked at Nezuko with a puzzled expression.
"What's wrong?"
Nezuko pointed into the distance.
"There are so many people there!"
Teiichi Nezuko's pointing finger, Teiichi saw a group of people gathered in the distance, seemingly watching something.
"Let's go take a look!"
Nezuko nodded and quickly followed Teiichi to where the crowd had gathered.
While Teiichi's height might not be considered towering, at least no one's head was blocking Teiichi view, making it easy for him to pass through the crowd...
My hand was tugged again.
Teiichi his gaze downwards.
Nezuko blinked her pink eyes and gazed silently at Teiichi.
After waiting a while and seeing Teiichi didn't move, Nezuko spoke up:
"I... can't... see!"
"Oh, sorry! Sorry! I forgot!"
Teiichi smiled apologetically and quickly knelt down to pick Nezuko up.
With your gaze passing over the crowd, you can easily see what's in front of you.
A geisha dressed in a gorgeous kimono and with her hair styled in a high bun was walking slowly forward.
Several servants surrounded her, protecting her safety.
"She... is so beautiful!" Nezuko whispered.
"The courtesan, of course she's beautiful! This is none other than Koi- Koinatsu, the Tokito House!"
Tengen Uzui suddenly appeared beside the two of them, and turned to look at Teiichi as he spoke.
"How is it? Do you regret rejecting me too quickly yesterday?"
"You've got to be kidding me!"
Teiichi glanced at Uzui, then looked back at the courtesan, Koinatsu.
Seeing this, Uzui also looked over, his gaze lingering on the face of the courtesan, Koinatsu.
"Well, that's true. It's still far inferior to the Flower Hashira. No wonder you're not interested!"
Teiichi, "Since you know so much about it, have you been there yourself?"
"Hey, hey, hey! Don't accuse me wrongly! I'm a married man! And courtesans are very expensive! I don't have that much spare money to go see a courtesan!"
"You may not have that much spare money, but I do?"
Tengen Uzui laughed and said, "Hey, you can get reimbursed!"
"You want me to ask Kanae for reimbursement for going to the Entertainment District? What were you thinking?"
Tengen Uzui waved his hand and said, "No, no, you can ask the Master for reimbursement! Given your current situation, whatever you need from the Master, Master will consider fulfilling your request!"
"..."
Teiichi glanced around at Tengen Uzui, but couldn't see Tanjiro and the other two anymore.
"Alright, let's not talk about that. But you, you've made arrangements for all three of them, haven't you?"
Tengen Uzui nodded. "Yeah, one's sold for money, one's given away for free, and one's losing money!"
"Is Inosuke being sold for money?" Teiichi asked.
Tengen Uzui nodded, then added, "Yes, Tanjiro Kamado gave it to someone for free, Zenitsu Agatsuma only accepted it after paying compensation!"
Having said that, Tengen Uzui clicked his tongue.
" Zenitsu Agatsuma, that money-loser!"
Teiichi chuckled softly upon hearing this and reminded him, "Good that you've made the arrangements. You'd better keep a close eye on things this time!"
Tengen Uzui said, "Yes, I know without you saying it! And I've told them to remember to meet up every day during the day!"
"That's good!" Teiichi. "I'll help look for it too!"
