Oiran! Oiran!
Let's play! Let's play!
Okay, then.
Oiran!
Please read me a book.
Sure. Which one?
Um...
Me too!
Read it for me too.
Let's read hers first, and then yours.
I can wait until later.
Me too!
Why do you always copy me?
But...
Oh my.
I just remembered something.
But first, I have something for you two.
What is it?
What are you going to give, Oiran?
But aren't these important to you?
It's okay. Don't think about it.
I want to give you these because I love you both.
- Thank you! - Thank you!
Oiran! Put it on my hair!
Come on! Come on!
All right, one person at a time.
(Episode 4: Tonight)
She's disappeared?
Yes.
Um, it's Zenko. The girl with yellow hair.
She was unconscious, so we let her rest,
but now she's not in her room.
Should we look for her?
No, it's enough. Don't look for her.
She's deserting. It's not my problem.
She probably ran off somewhere.
Leave her be.
But, Master...
Silence!
Begone!
Don't speak about Zenko again.
Let everyone know about that.
It's all because she made Warabihime Oiran upset.
Both Zenko and Omitsu.
I told you already!
There's a demon at my place!
Well...
It looked like this! Like this!
Yeah, well... Give me some time to think.
How about this?
Can you tell if I do this?
Uzui and Zenitsu should've been here already for our regular meeting.
It was like this! I know it!
Yeah, I understand.
Zenitsu's not coming.
This guy is something else.
He didn't make any sound.
I didn't feel the air wafting.
Zenitsu isn't coming? What do you mean by that?
I'm sorry for putting you in danger.
I made a lot of bad decisions because I wanted to rescue my wives.
I don't know where Zenitsu is right now.
I lost contact with him last night.
You need to leave this district.
You're not qualified enough.
If there are Upper Rank demons here, you can't fight them.
I'll consider those who have disappeared as dead.
I'll take on the rest myself.
No, Uzui. We will...
Don't be ashamed.
Whoever lives wins.
Don't misjudge an opportunity.
Hold it, old man!
I guess he doesn't trust us because we are at the bottom rank.
We're Kanoe now. We've been promoted.
Huh?
Do you even remember how ranks work?
We were Mizunoto, the bottom rank.
Now we're Kanoe, fourth from the bottom.
What?! They've caught up to me!
Suck on that, bed-wetter! I'll make you eat my dust!
What did you say, stupid boar?
Wanna fight, punk?
Watch carefully.
Show me my rank.
(Kanoe)
How's that?
What was that?
Didn't your hand feel funny in the Wisteria Mountain?
It was itchy, but I was tired. So I'm not sure.
It's called Wisteria Carving.
It appears with the swelling of words and muscle tissues.
How did I miss this?
It's proof that you're from Demon Slayer Corps.
Cheer up!
Right! Now's not the time. I'm sorry!
I'll go to Ogimoto Brothel on nighttime.
Wait for me until then.
Don't act alone!
Why?!
I'll be done investigating my brothel today!
I found a demon at my place, so come over right now!
How can you be so stupid?!
They're too loud.
That's not what I mean!
Huh?!
Doesn't Uzui always watch the place from the outside during the night?
Ouch, ouch, ouch!
But Zenitsu is gone and the demon at your brothel is hiding.
Hey! Stop hitting me already!
There might be a secret passage inside the building.
Secret passage?
That's right.
If they don't go outside of the brothels,
it means they're most likely disguising themselves as workers.
Since they're working at the brothels,
they become better at pretending to be humans
and become more cautious when killing people.
To avoid anyone noticing.
I see.
It takes some effort to clean up after a murder.
Blood is not easy to remove.
This district is most active at night.
This greatly benefits them, but also puts them at a disadvantage.
They have to work at night.
If not, others may become suspicious.
That makes sense.
I think Zenitsu and Uzui's wives are still alive.
So what I intend to do now
is to save them.
I want you to do the same, Inosuke.
And please...
stay alive.
Are you okay with that?
Everything you said just now...
is exactly what I was trying to say.
Oiran, here's some tea.
Thank you.
I'm almost ready. Go ahead and eat your meal.
Alright!
We're eating dinner first!
We'll eat first!
I love you, Koinatsu Oiran.
I love you too!
I love both of you too.
I understand, so go on.
Alright!
She looks so happy.
Yes!
Such sweet kids.
Miss Koinatsu.
Sumi?
I apologise for the intrusion.
I'm leaving Tokito Brothel.
Can you give this money to the Master?
It's as thanks for taking care of me.
Sumi, your outfit...
I dressed as a girl for a reason, but I'm actually a man.
Oh, I already know about that.
It's obvious just from looking and listening to you.
I realised that you're a man since the beginning.
I was wondering what business you have in this place.
I never thought anyone would find out.
You have your circumstances, right?
It's true that you're worried about Suma, right?
Yes! That part is true! I wasn't lying!
I will save those who have disappeared.
Thank you.
I'm relieved to hear that.
I'll be leaving this district by tomorrow.
Really? That's great to hear!
There's someone who wants to take someone like me as his wife.
I'm really happy right now.
However...
I couldn't help but worry about everyone I'm leaving behind.
Many unsettling incidents have happened,
but I don't even have the means to investigate them.
That's not your fault.
Please don't let it bother you and just keep smiling.
I don't want you to leave either, Sumi.
I'm going, then.
May you find happiness.
Thank you.
Same for you, Sumi. Please take care of Suma.
Yes!
Did you forget something?
Yes, I have to eat you now so I don't forget.
This will be your last night here after all.
Am I right, Koinatsu?
This is bad. It's almost dark.
I must hurry and meet up with Inosuke.
I smell something.
It's faint, but sweet.
It's a demon.
I smell a demon nearby.
Don't tell me...
He's late.
It's getting late and he's still not here.
That stupid Soichiro!
I'll be making my move!
By upholding pig assault in my heart!
Mice, bring me my swords!
That guy's really something else.
I can't believe he has buff mice as his servants.
I want my own ninja beasts!
I'm off to kill demons!
Pig assault!
What happened to Zenko and Hinatsuru?
Give me a brief answer.
Don't question me back.
Zanko has disappeared.
Hinatsuru got sick and was sent to a low-class brothel.
Tell me everything you can think of.
Who do you think is suspicious?
Talk. You can trust me.
Whoever it is, I'm going to kill it.
I'll avenge your losses.
Omitsu...
An Oiran named Warabihime.
She's in a room to the north where sunlight can't reach.
It's empty.
She must be on the hunt.
Let's visit Hinatsuru's place while I look for the demon along the way.
She should know something if she's still alive.
Either way, the demon should return here at dawn.
I'll end this with my own hands.
The smell is getting stronger.
There's no doubt.
Miss Koinatsu!
Are you the demon hunter boy?
You're finally here.
How many of you are there?
One of you must be the ugly kid with yellow hair.
Are the Hashiras coming?
Are they coming soon?
I don't think you're a Hashira.
You look so weak.
I don't need anyone besides Hashiras.
Do you understand?
What's happening to her body?
Miss Koinatsu's body is gone.
She's not bleeding, and I don't smell blood.
I'm not going to eat something so hideous and filthy.
She's Upper Rank Six!
Let go of her!
Who do you think you're talking to?
She's fast.
I couldn't see her attack.
Upper Rank...
My limbs are shivering.
My body feels numb.
Calm down!
My body was able to react.
If it wasn't, I would've died already.
The reason I'm shivering right now
is because I'm scared.
My body feels numb because I took a powerful blow to my back.
That demon uses her obi as weapon.
She has supernatural powers.
She can trap humans within her obi.
That's why even though we scoured the building,
we couldn't find any secret passageway.
As long as her obi can get through, she can kidnap anyone.
You're still alive.
You're stronger than I thought.
You have some pretty eyes.
I'll pluck out your eyeballs and eat them.
The box!
It's not broken.
But if it takes another blow, it'll break.
I'm sorry, Nezuko.
The shoulder strap is broken.
I can't keep it on my back.
Don't get out of the box.
Not unless your feel in danger.
Water Breathing, Fourth Form:
Striking Tide, Turbulent!
He was able to manoeuvre while in the air.
Furthermore,
he cut the part where I trapped Koinatsu cleanly.
You're kind of cute, even though you're ugly.
I think I'm starting to like you.
You're like a rat on the verge of dying.
Upper Rank Six.
Can I fight her without Uzui, Zenitsu, and Inosuke?
Can I fight an Upper Rank alone?
No, that's not important right now.
No choice but to fight!
Nin-nin!
Good job, you guys.
What are they exactly?
They're ninja beast, the Buff Mice!
They can go to places where we can't.
They stay hidden while they help us in demon hunting.
You can call them the Shadow Demon Slayer Corps.
Here's some Taisho-era secret.
I only gather and train gutsy mice to become part of the Buff Mice,
but they also have to be narcissists who can admire their own muscles.
In other words, those who like to look flamboyant.
Next up on Episode 5: "Let's Make it Flamboyant"
(To be continued)
They're really something else.
