Chapter 21: Hidden In Plain Sight

A/N: Been quite some time since I last updated this story. Sorry to making those of you who have been waiting a long time. It's just been hard for me to write anything right now. To make it up to you, this chapter is a longer than the last two and from now on I'll probably make the chapters longer than the previous ones. I hope you all enjoy the read. Thank you.




"Entertainment District?" Tanjirou said in confusion of the place Uzui was talking about as they were about to embark on their new mission.

"You know, that thing! Know what I mean? The place where...Huh? You don't get it?" Lynn glared at Zenitsu who was a mumbling jumbled mess with his words as he had a bashful blush on his face, while the other two stared at him confused.

"Listen up!" Tengen spoke up loudly to get all four of their attentions as he spun around and made flamboyant movement before striking a strange pose in front of them. "I am a god! You three are...trash!" The four younger slayers were too stunned from this sudden insult as they felt themselves wither away from suddenly being talked down upon as Uzui continued with what he had to say. "That's the first thing you need to pound into your heads! Drive it in! You're to turn into dogs if I tell you to!" He said as Lynn grew irked at the though of them four as dogs. "Turn into monkeys if I say so!" Uzui said as Lynn grew more ticked marks on her face from the image of them as monkeys in her mind. "Hunch over and rub your hands together, constantly pander to my every whim and suck up to me with every fiber of your being!" Lynn was getting very annoyed and was grinding her teeth at the images he was describing to them. "And let me repeat! I am a god!" He repeated once again with a glint in his eye as Lynn's eye twitched while staring at him.

"This guy is crazy..." Both Lynn and Zenitsu thought the same thing when looking at Uzui before they grew surprised by Tanjirou raising his hand.

"What are you the god of, specifically?" Tanjirou asked before groaning in pain when Lynn punched him on the top of his head.

"Are you an idiot, Tanjirou!?" Lynn asked as Tanjirou rubbed his head as a bump formed on it.

"Good question! You have potential!" Uzui praised Tanjirou as Lynn and Zenitsu both looked at him in shock.

"But it's a stupid question! What potential?" Zenitsu thought as Uzui struck another strange pose in front of them.

"The God of Flashiness. I'm the God of Festivals." Uzui proclaimed himself as two gods instead of one as Lynn and Zenitsu stared at him with deadpan faces.

"He's an idiot. The God of all Idiots. Absolutely." Lynn thought as she began to reconsider following him on this mission.

"I'm the King of the Mountains! Nice to meet you...God of Festivals!" Inosuke introduced himself in an equally strange way as everyone stared at him in silence.

"What are you talking about? You sure are creep!" Uzui said to Inosuke as something snapped inside both Lynn and Zenitsu.

"NO! YOU TWO ARE A CLOSE MATCH FOR EACHOTHER! CRINGEWORTHY!" The two young slayers thought with their jaws almost dropping to the floor from Uzui's reaction as Tanjirou had to hold back the boar-headed slayer.

"Huh?! What did you say!?" Inosuke asked.

"Creepy." Uzui replied instantly and without hesitation as this irked Inosuke even more.

"This guy's in a world of his own...There's no helping him..." Lynn thought as she sighed in annoyance before shrugging her shoulders with her hands slightly raised. "Are we going on this mission, or what? Let's get a move on." Lynn said as Uzui turned back towards the trail.

"So, there's no time to fool around. Let's go." Uzui said as he leaned forward with a serious expression on his face. "Follow me." Uzui said as Lynn breathed in air of relief.

"Finally. I wanna forget everything I heard--!" Lynn was cut off when Uzui suddenly kicked up dust, making her cough from breathing in some of the cloud he made. "Agh! GAH! W-What the heck was that for--Huh?" Lynn cut herself off when the smoke cleared and Uzui was gone from the spot he stood on. 

"He vanished?" Zenitsu said in shock, but Lynn's nose picked up his scent and she was shocked when she looked farther down the path.

"H-Hey! Look!" Lynn pointed ahead as they were all surprised to see Uzui running so far ahead of them. 

"So fast! Look how far he's gone! He's no bigger than a sesame seed now!" Zenitsu said in shock of Tengen's speed and how far he was.

"So, this is the power of the God of Festivals..." Inosuke was trembling in shock of what he had seen.

"No, that man is Tengen Uzui, a Hashira." Tanjirou kindly reminded him.

"Jeez, shut up! Let's hurry and catch up! Run!" Lynn said as the four of them broke off into a sprint to try and catch up to the Sound Hashira.

"Please be careful! Safe travels!" The butterfly girls all bid them farewell as the four of them set out to the Entertainment District.

After finally catching up to Uzui and traveling through the fastest route their Hashira had already established before, night had fallen upon the lands the slayers were riding in rickshaws with awe-struck eyes at what they were seeing. Traveling through an open gate, Lynn and her friends had finally made it to the Entertainment District where lights from all buildings were lit and people flooded the streets going from brothel to brothel. The moment they entered the district, Lynn covered her nose and tried her best to fight the strong potent smells of perfume and other aromas that flooded the area. Looking above and below, women could be seen staring at them, mainly the boys of her group, but still Lynn was captivated by the sight of how beautiful all the women were, and how pretty the lights made the district seem.

"Don't do anything that'll make you stand out. Remember that we're only here to case the joint. Whatever you do, don't get out of the carriage." Uzui instructed them, but his words fell on two sets of deaf ears as Zenitsu had leaped out of the rickshaw.

"Hey! Don't do it, Zenitsu!" Tanjirou tried stopping the yellow haired boy, but he was too fast and at the same time, Inosuke leaped out of the rickshaw also. "Inosuke! Come back here!" Tanjirou called for him to come back while jumping after him as Lynn face palmed and slumped in her seat.

"Those stinking brats...!" The rickshaws came to a stop as Uzui had an irritated and angered look seeing how no one else followed his instructions as Lynn just quietly stepped out of the rickshaw and began to walk after them.

The boys were all astonished by the sights around them as Inosuke seemed completely out of his comfort zone as and on edge as he looked at all the brightly lit buildings surrounding him. Lynn took this chance to also take in more of the scenery as Tanjirou and Uzui worked to reign in the two loose canons, managing to grab Inosuke as Zenitsu was stumbling about in awe of all the women.

"Hey, Yellow Boy! Stay where you are!" Uzui yelled like a parent trying to manage his chaotic children as they all stood in the street wondering where to head to next as Uzui decided to try and explain things to the four of them once more. "This is the Yoshiwara Entertainment District. Awash in vanity and desire of men and women. A town of the night swirling with love and hate. Flashy, huh?" Tengen spoke as Lynn's examination of the town was interrupted by the strange noises coming from Inosuke as she looked at him with an estranged stare.

"W-W-W...What the heck is this!? It's teeming with people!!!!" Inosuke yelled as his vision seemed shaky and he had a hard time gathering his bearings. "A-Agh...! Comin' through!" Inosuke yelled as he set off to do what he did best, cause more chaos as the four other slayers watched him disappear into the crowd, a smoke cloud pop up, and a civilian suddenly fly in the air.

"What the...Calm down, moron!" Uzui yelled as he chased down and caught Inosuke, carrying back like a dead boar with a bump on his head as he looked at Lynn and Tanjirou with a stressed look. "Hey! Where did the kid with the yellow head go?!" Tengen asked as Tanjirou was shocked to see he had disappeared.

"What?!" Tanjirou gasped in shock as they all looked around trying to find their wandering friend.

"You there, Yellow Boy!" Lynn heard a comment that caught her attention and looked down the road to see Zenitsu staring up at a few women waving down at him. "Why don't you stop by?" A woman called out suggestively.

"We have candy!" Another woman spoke with her mouth full of the sweets she was showing to Zenitsu, as the yellow demon slayer was completely captivated by the beauty of the women speaking to him. "Come on! This way!" They waved for him to enter the building they were.

"Zenitsu..." The sound of a skull being cracked surprised the women when they saw Lynn punched Zenitsu on top of the head, knocking him out and making a welt form on his head. "Let's get going." She said as she grabbed one of Zenitsu's legs and dragged him across the ground with her.

"Uwah, his girlfriend, maybe?" One of the women whispered to her friends.

"But she's a bit cute. Look at that white strip in her hair, and her skin is so pure and clear." The woman eating candy said while staring at her.

"Hey there, you cute girl. Wanna come inside and chat? We have snacks you'd like." The woman who first spoke to Zenitsu called out as Lynn stopped in her tracks and looked at them before giving them a cute smile and wave.

"Bye-bye!" Lynn said with a childish aura around her as all three women felt their hearts get pierced by cuteness as Lynn turned around and walked away.

"Cute..." The women all thought collectively as Lynn dragged her unconscious ally back to her group as Uzui held onto both Zenitsu and Inosuke as Tanjirou and Lynn stood next to him.

"Take a good look. See, this place goes to sleep during the day, and at night, it sparkles and dazzles. The ideal place for a demon, am I right?" Tengen said as this information clicked in the minds of the young slayers as it made sense to them. "Women who become courtesans are mostly sold here due to poverty and debt. In return, they're given food, clothing and lodging and if they can climb up the ranks, a rich man might buy out their contracts. There are ranks among Courtesans, as well. The highest-ranked 'Oiran' is on a different level. Beauty is a given, and she's also intelligent and has mastered every traditional art. She's the breadwinner, on whom each house has lavished time and money. A woman of distinction." Uzui broke down the basic structure of how things worked in the entertainment district.

"I think I more or else understand why you went after female corps members. It all makes sense now." Lynn said as Uzui adjusted Zenitsu and Inosuke on his shoulders.

"All right, that's enough scouting. Come on." Uzui said as he led the slayers to a safe house of the corps that was working in the district for them.

After gathering her friends all together, Lynn followed Uzui to an Inn that was cooperating with the Corps and they went inside to get some rest from their journey and listen to the mission that they were about to begin. Uzui walked over to a small desk and sat down on the tatami floor as he propped his head up using his arm on the table and turned back to his junior slayers as he spoke up to them.

"Now listen up. When you've infiltrated the Entertainment District, first look for my bride. I'll be digging for information on the demons, as well." Uzui started with this information as Lynn and Tanjirou both silently sipped tea whilst listening to his orders, Inosuke seemed busy stuffing his face with dumplings, and Zenitsu seemed to be at a loss.

"THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!" Zenitsu suddenly shouted in a fit of rage.

"Huh?" Tengen asked in frustration and confusion over all his fuss.

"I'll thank you not to mess with us! How dare you use your subordinates to personally find a bride for yourself!" Zenitsu accused Tengen of using them for such a trivial matter.

"Huh!? How did you get that idea!?" Uzui yelled back in annoyance.

"Nope! I'm going to have my say!" Zenitsu yelled while flailing around his pointer finger as Tanjirou tried to calm him down.

"I'M SURE THAT A SCREWED-UP ODDBALL LIKE YOU HAS NO LUCKJ WITH THE LAIDES! HOWEVER! EVEN SO! JUST BECAUSE YOU WANT A WIFE, THAT'S NO REASON TO USE DEMON SLAYERS LIKE US!!" Zenitsu kept hammering this accusation against Tengen.

"ARE YOU AN IDIOT!? I'm talking about a wife who's INFILTRATED the Entertainment District and is hard at work gathering intel on the demons! I've stopped receiving regular check-ins, so I'M GOING, TOO, all right!?" Uzui explained the 'wife' situation for Zenitsu as this silenced the yellow boy, but he still wore an irritated look on his face.

"I suppose that's what you fantasize..." Zenitsu mocked Uzui thinking that he's just making it up.

"You damn punk...!" Uzui ground his teeth together in frustration of Zenitsu's existence before throwing a volley of envelopes at the yellow-haired slayer who fell back from the attack. "These are the letters sent via the Kasugai Crow." Uzui said as Lynn picked up a stack of the letters.

"There's quite a lot of them. Has she been undercover for a long time?" Tanjirou commented on the amount of letters he had.

"Hm? Why are there different names on these?" Lynn asked in confusion while looking through the letters.

"Well, I do have three of them. Wives." Uzui said as this information drop made Zenitsu sit up with a face of disbelief. 

"Three of them...Wives?" Zenitsu repeated as he couldn't believe this before growing crazed eyes and raising his voice. "TH-THREE?! WHY, YOU...WHY YOU...WHY WOULD YOU HAVE THREE OF THEM!?!" Zenitsu screamed at the top of his lungs before Uzui finally had enough and gave him a gut punch, silencing the boy who collapsed on the floor unconscious.

"You've got a problem with that?" Uzui said with a threatening tone as Inosuke put his boar head back on and the three other slayers avoided doing anything to receive the same treatment Zenitsu was paid with.

"Um, in the letters, they keep reminding you not to stand out when you come." Tanjirou said as Uzui huffed an irritated and mentally tired breath.

"That's what I told you, remember?" Uzui said as he reminded them of how much they made him stand out with their antics earlier.

"So, what are we going to do, exactly?" Tanjirou asked as Lynn put down her stack of letters.

"Isn't it obvious already?" Lynn spoke up as they all looked towards her. "We're going to disguise ourselves, right? That's why you needed girls, to infiltrate the inner workings of the district." Lynn said as Uzui gave her a nod.

"That's right. Instead I have one girl and three idiots. As much as I hate it, in a drab way. All three of my wives are brilliant ninjas. Kunoichi. I was sure that this district would be the perfect place for the demons, but when I went in as a customer, I couldn't get anything on them. So I sent them in to get closer than a customer ever could. Since I've already narowed down the likeliest houses to three, you four will search for my wives there and gather information." Uzui explained as he raised his hand up with three fingers. "Suma of the Tokito House, Makio of the Ogimoto House, and Hinatsuru of the Kyogoku House." Uzui gave them the names of his wives as Inosuke was picking his nose through the boar head. 

"Your wives must be dead, don't you think?" Inosuke asked while picking his nose as this made Tanjirou and Lynn tense up, and resulted in another gut punch from Tengen as Inosuke fell unconscious as well.

The door to the room slid open and revealed one of the inn's workers who arrived with a small box of things that were requested by Uzui to be taken to the room.

"Pardon me. I have brought you the items you asked for." The inn worker said with a calm voice as Lynn stood at the door with an awkward smile on her face while behind her was two unconscious slayers, a timid boy who didn't want more trouble, and an annoyed Hashira.

"T-Thank you, sir." Lynn bowed her head awkwardly as she felt embarrassed for being a part of such a ragtag dysfunctional team.

After hearing out the rest of the details for how they would be executing the plan, Tengen got to work on the disguises need to infiltrated the target houses and after about an hour or two, the five of them once again embarked into the streets of the Entertainment District. Standing outside the first house, Lynn was trying her burst to contain her laugher by biting her lip as she stood next to Uzui as he was displaying Tanjirou, Zenitsu, and Inosuke to one of the first three houses, Tokito House. Though since they were in disguise, their new names were Sumiko, Zenko, and Inoko.

"W-What the hell...P-Pfft!" Lynn covered her face and turned away to silently laugh as the married owners were a bit too stunned by their appearance to think clearly.

"My, my...Now these three are certainly...quite homely girls, aren't they?" The wife of the House said as they struggled to look at them with straight faces as the husband rubbed his eyes to see if he was seeing things incorrectly, but wasn't.

"Duwah..." The husband fell back from the sight of them before catching himself with one hand on the floor. "No, I don't think we can..." He tried to turn down the offer politely.

"Isn't there any way you can reconsider? Under your training, Madam, I'm sure they'd turn into diamonds." Uzui tried to renegotiate with the owners.

"I'm sorry, but..." The husband was about to turn down the deal for sure, but cut himself off when he noticed his wife seemed a bit flustered and had a blush on her face.

"Well, I guess taking in one wouldn't be a problem!" The wife said with a sudden burst of enthusiasm and optimism as the husband was shocked to see his wife cave so easily due.

"Hmph, well I guess a pretty face can get you a good distance in certain things..." Lynn said as she knew most women would be stricken in awe from Uzui's good looks.

"Then, please take one. Sorry to impose, madam." Uzui spoke with a sultry and soothing voice as the wife of the house was at his whim.

"Then, I think we'll take the one in the middle! She looks very obedient." The wife answered quickly as Tanjirou stepped forward.

"I promise to work as hard as I can!" Tanjirou spoke with excitement and enthusiasm as he was accepted into the Tokito house, leaving Zenitsu and Inosuke unemployed as the four of them left to go to the other houses.

"You guys are beyond hopeless! I can barely give you away!" Uzui complained at how bad the two of them were at being sold as Zenitsu let out an annoyed sigh.

"I'm not talking to you, all right?" Zenitsu said in an angered tone.

"Are you incensed because I made you disguise yourself as a girl? You said you'd do anything I asked!" Uzui said as they continued down the road.

"Hey, Uzui..." Lynn spoke up as the Sound Hashira turned his head towards her. "Why didn't you send me in?" She asked, but was met with a piece of cloth falling on her head.

"I already told you before to hide your face and hands." Uzui said as she fixed the cloth over her head to conceal her face and hid her hands in her haori. "I already said it before that you would stick out more to the demon than them. Demon's can have a keen sense of smell for blood and if they figured you out, the Demon would escape before we could ever make a move on it. You'll be by my side until we can figure out where my wives are. No problems, right?" Uzui asked as Lynn just sighed.

"Right, right, I got it. I won't make a move unless you allow it." Lynn said as Uzui felt a bit of relief knowing someone of this group was at least competent enough to understand the situation they were in. "Also, Inosuke's gone." Lynn said as Uzui's stress returned and he frantically looked around to see where he went.

"Hey! Over there! A bunch of people are swarming around!" They looked ahead to see Inosuke pointing over at commotion that had a bunch of people gather around a street.

Heading over to see what all the fuss was about, the four of them made their way through the crowd and looked down the road to see what was going on. Hearing the sound of something dragging through the dirt, Lynn raised her brow in wonder when she saw a beautiful woman wearing very high sandals walk down the road as she was surrounded by multiple assistants, with one helping her walk as she dragged her sandals cordially across the road.

"Wow..." Lynn was in awe of how beautiful she looked as Uzui recognized the situation.

"Oh, that's a procession of Courtesans. That's Tokito House's Koinatsu Oiran. The highest-ranking Courtesan is going off to meet her client. How flashy is that?" Uzui said in surprise of how much attention she's garnered.

"WIFE?! IS SHE YOUR WIFE, BY ANY CHANCE!?!?" Zenitsu yelled as he got in Uzui's face. "Is that knockout your wife?! THAT'S TOO MUCH!! You've got three of them! Are they ALL BEAUTIFUL LIKE HER!?!" Zenitsu roared at the top of his lungs.

"SHE'S NOT MY WIFE!" Uzui shoved his fist into Zenitsu's face to silence him.

"She walks so slow. She'd get killed in a second in the mountains." Inosuke mocked Koinatsu for how she was as he picked out one of his ears.

"Well, as expected of one's thoughts who's from the harsh mountain side..." Lynn said as she wasn't surprised about his comment, but both grew tense when they felt an intense stare behind them.

Slowly turning around, the two young slayers were met  with an older looking woman who's eyes were almost popping out of her face as she stared extremely closely at Inosuke. While watching the procession, Uzui was suddenly called upon.

"Hey, mister..." Uzui turned around to see Lynn and Inosuke stood awkwardly in front of the older woman. "I'll be taking these girls back to my house. Is that all right?" She asked Uzui.

"Hey, so you're..." Uzui was surprised when he recognized who he was talking to.

"Right. The Ogimoto House chaperone." The woman revealed herself to be a part of one of the target houses.

"If she's caught the eye of the Ogimoto House, I couldn't be more thankful. However, I'm afraid this one is going to have to stay with me." Uzui said as he pulled Lynn over to his side and hid her behind his back.

"Hm, that's a bit unfortunate, but I guess that's fine." The woman agreed to just accepting one.

"But what kind fo stroke of luck is this?" Uzui asked in wonder of her interest in Inosuke.

"Oh please, I have a sure eye for these things." Was all the chaperone with before walking off with Inosuke.

"Take care of yourself, Inoko!" Uzui and Lynn both waved Inosuke goodbye before their eyes turned to look at Zenitsu in deep wonder as they both wore the same unexpectant face.

"Hm?" Zenitsu looked at them in confusion of their stares before it suddenly clicked in his mind the situation he was in. "Ah...Oh no! I'm the only leftover!" Zenitsu thought in shock and despair as he was the only one not accepted into a house.

After wandering about the streets of the district for a bit, Uzui managed to make some magic happen for Zenitsu, despite how low the odds were. Lynn was stood outside the Kyogoku house and was peeking through a window as the strings of a shamisen were being strung. All of a sudden, the string's tone was turned violent and strummed fast with great rhythm as the initial sound made Lynn flinch from her sensitive hearing, but she peeked through to see Zenitsu playing the shamisen with an ugly, angered face as he used a breathing technique to let out his frustration. 

"Well, I guess you don't have to be all that pretty to work at these places..." Lynn thought awkwardly as she watched Zenitsu stun all the other women with his Shamisen skills.

"Hey, let's go." Uzui said to Lynn as the girl hopped off from the side of the house.

"Right." Lynn said as she and Uzui quickly disappeared into the shadows of the district.

After placing Tanjirou and the other two into the houses they needed to, Uzui and Lynn both took to the rooftops in their uniforms as they waited to see if something out of the ordinary would happen. Some time had passed as Lynn and Uzui waited on top of the rooftops, but nothing seemed to be wrong anywhere they looked. While perched on the edge of a roof, Lynn tried using her new sense of smell to see if she could get a whiff of any strange scents that were different from humans or a whiff of any blood. The air however was filled with different smells of food and booze, not to mention the annoying smell of perfume that was emitting from every house in the district. 

"Tch, this place reeks of too many different smells and scents. I can't even tell where Tanjirou and the other two are..." Lynn complained as she huffed in boredom of just sitting on top of the rooftops in silence.

"That's a flashy weapon you have." Uzui's voice suddenly cut through the cold air they were in as she turned her head towards him. "The only swordsmen who are allowed different styles of weaponry are us Hashira, even then most of us use the basic Katana shape. Who's the swordsmith that made your weapon?" Uzui asked as Lynn looked to the 

"This is Yukari no Tachikiri. Lord Sesshomaru was the one who gifted me with this." Lynn said as she reached back to stroke her hand across the polearm on her back.

"Lord Sesshomaru?" Uzui asked in confusion.

"Ah, right, no one else has met him other than Miss Shinobu." Lynn said as she realized Uzui never met your father. "Lord Sesshomaru is Lord Y/N's father. He is Supreme Conqueror of this world at the moment." Lynn said as Uzui was off put by this information.

"Supreme Conqueror? Meaning that there's a demon more powerful than the one who traveled with you? What the hell...How many more demons are there that we don't know about?" Uzui said as he facepalmed himself from hearing this.

"We don't have to worry. Lord Sesshomaru and Lord Y/N are probably the ones who keep most of the more dangerous demons in check or in hiding. They also despise Kibutsuji Muzan almost the same amount as we do. That's why Lord Y/N is wandering the lands." Lynn said as she smiled being able to think about you as she stared up deeply at the moon.

"Well, if they mind their own business then it's not a problem for now." Uzui said before noticing how different Lynn was acting ever since she mentioned you. "Hey, brat." Uzui called as Lynn turned towards him. "Was your Lord the one who gave you that sword also?" He asked as he referred to the Tenseiga that was sheathed away at Lynn's side.

"Hm?" Lynn hummed in confusion before looking down to remember she had Tenseiga. "Ah, yeah! This sword means a lot to me. I have to take good care of it and use it properly, other wise I'd feel ashamed for him leaving me such an amazing gift only for me to break it or neglect it..." Lynn said as she stroked Tenseiga's hilt with great care.

"Is it some powerful sword? Can it do something flashy like shoot fire at demons?" Uzui asked as Lynn giggled at his comment. "What's funny?" Uzui asked.

"Ehehe, nothing. It's just that I wasn't expecting you to be so talkative with me." Lynn said as she rubbed her hands together and looked down at her sharpened claws. "All humans despise demons. That's how it is for us demon slayers, and when you all heard the news about how Rengoku almost died, I'm sure that made you even angrier towards them. Then I became a half-demon..." Lynn trailed off as Uzui noticed a frown fall onto Lynn's face. "It's been months, but I still don't know how I'm supposed to feel as a Demon Slayer...I'm worried I'll be ostracized for being a half-demon and that my friends will turn against me..." Lynn said as she closed her eyes pained from the thought of being betrayed.

"Don't be an idiot, brat." Uzui spoke up as she looked at him in confusion. "You were born a human and became a Demon Slayer before turning into that. If you hadn't become a half-demon either, Rengoku probably wouldn't still be here either. For saving a close friend of mine and an incredible man I look up to, I truly appreciate you and acknowledge you as a true member of the Corps." Tengen surprised the half-demon girl who looked at him in awe.

"....Thank you." Lynn said as she surprised Uzui with an incredible smile as the moonlight shined down on her and the wind blew through her hair, making her beauty stand out before him.

"Hmph, your Lord is going to be a lucky Demon later. Once you've stopped being a brat and grow up, you'll be a fine woman just as beautiful as my wives." Uzui said with a slight chuckle as this made Lynn turn beet red as she gasped in shock of his comment.

"W-W-W-What are you saying!? M-M-My Lord will think I'm beautiful!?" Lynn hid her face in her hands as Uzui just sighed at how unflashy she turned.

"Jeez, how unflashy can one get after being complimented...?" Uzui asked as the two of them turned their sights back to the district.

"Hey, Uzui..." Lynn spoke up.

"Hm?" Tengen hummed to her in wonder.

"Do you think the others will be all right? Tanjirou, Inosuke, Zenitsu..." Lynn asked as Uzui glanced at her before looking back down below.

"It's too early to tell. It's all quiet today, too. I'm getting a really bad feeling." Uzui said as this unsettled Lynn and made her tense up. "It's like being enveloped in smoke. So adept at becoming invisible..." Uzui trailed off as Lynn gripped the cloth of her pants.

"Hey, you don't think...the Demon hiding in the Entertainment District is an Upper Rank Demon, right?" Lynn asked, knowing just how powerful an Upper Rank Demon was compared to anything else she had fought before.

"The possibility of that being the case isn't high, but there's still a chance it could be. If that's the case...we could be in for an ultra-flashy fight to the death." Uzui said they kept their guard up. "Let's move positions." Uzui said as he stood up.

"Right." Lynn said as she also got up from the roof and the two of them leaped across the buildings, using the shadows to stay hidden. "Focus...Focus..." Lynn thought to herself as she reached one hand behind her and gripped the hilt of her Yukari no Tachikiri tightly. "No matter what happens...I won't stand on the side ever again...I'll use everything I have to protect everyone..." Lynn swore to herself as she leaped into the night sky with the moon shining behind her as she continued the mission with even stronger resolve than before.
