Chapter 56: Three?!

"Wait, so you're the Sound Hashira?" Hiroto said, crossing his arms and studying Uzui. "Nah, you can't be."

"Listen here brat! I'm the flamboyant Uzui Tengen, the Sound Hashira!" Uzui said, jumping down from the roof.

He sized up Hiroto then gave a nod, "Although you look plain, I can give you a pass on Rengoku's behalf. Plus, that monocle suits you somehow."

*snap* "I don't need your approval!" Hiroto retorted. *sigh* "When do we go on this mission?"

"We leave right now!" The Uzui said, but as soon as he turned around he faced Zenitsu and Inosuke as they walked into the entrance.

"Hmmm. You, you, and you." Uzui pointed at Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke, and said. "Just Rengoku's Tsuguko isn't enough for my mission. You'll be coming with the flamboyant me."

"Rengoku's Tsuguko? Wait, Hiroto you can go on a mission again?" Zenitsu said, looking at Hiroto that stood next to the girls.

"Yup, I can finally leave and stretch my legs. I'm back to my old healthy self." Hiroto said, stretching his arms to show.

"Hahahaha! It looks like your brother has finally recovered Monjiro! Good! I'll show you just how much stronger I've grown while you were busy being lazy in your bed! Hahaha!" Inosuke laughed.

"It's Tanjiro! Besides, he wasn't being lazy, he was recovering! But, although I don't mind going on a mission with my brother, why do we have to go?" Tanjiro asked Uzui.

"Since I couldn't take the girls, I'll just have to substitute them with you guys. Enough talking, let's go." Uzui said, before walking out of the Butterfly Estate.

Hiroto turned to the girls and said, "Thank you for looking after me for these past few months. I'll come to visit again after the mission, let's go before Uzui-San runs off on his own."

"Good luck!" "Be careful!" "Look after your health!" The little girls shouted behind the group that ran to catch up with Uzui.

Uzui turned around and looked at the 4 as they stood side by side. He lifted his hands in front of him and started to do weird hand gestures as he shouted.

"Remember this! I am God! You are trash! First off, get that right into your skull!! Screw it in there!!" Uzui shouted. Hiroto stood there with a dead look on his face as he thought, 'Should I just fall over sick? Is it too late to turn back now?'

"If I tell you to become a dog, become a dog! If I tell you to become a monkey, become a monkey!! You will always humor me while stooping down and imploring me for favors. And do your best to flatter me!" Uzui shouted, "I'll say this one more time, I am god!!"

"..." The group just stood still as they finished with Uzui posing at the group, little sparkles surrounded his head.

Zenitsu had a look of dread of him as he thought, "This guy's bad news."

Tanjiro lifted his hand.

"Yes, you may speak." Uzui so graciously granted Tanjiro permission.

"What exactly do you rule over as a god?" Tanjiro asked, gesturing with his hands.

Hiroto looked over at Tanjiro and thought to himself, 'No way… Where did I go wrong in raising you?'

"Nice question. I have high hopes for you." Uzui said, praising Tanjiro.

'It's a dumb question. Don't have high hopes.' Zenitsu thought.

Uzui looked at the group seriously and said, "I'm the god who rules over flamboyance… The god of festivities."

'Kyoujurou… I'm sorry, but a Demon's the least of our worries right now.' Hiroto thought.

'He's a moron… He rules over morons, no doubt.' Zenitsu thought as he started to look tired.

Inosuke put his hands on his hips and declared. "I am the King of the mountain. Nice to meet you, God of festivities."

… Silence…

"What're you talking about… You're just disgusting." Uzui said looking at Inosuke disgusted.

'You're the same as him!! And you're disgusted?!' Zenistu shouted in his mind.

Hiroto took Nezuko's box from Tanjiro, who just looked confused at what his brother was doing. "I'm sorry Tanjiro, I want to at least save one sibling before she falls down the wrong path."

"Anyway, we're going to be heading to the red light district, but before that. There's a wisteria house on the way there, we'll get prepared at that location." Uzui said.

"R-Re-Red light district?!?" Zenitsu yelled out, his face turning red from excitement.

"They use red lights? But why? Won't it be hard to see where you walk?" Tanjiro asked.

"No no." Hiroto corrected him. "It must be a metaphor. It's probably the houses and streets that are painted red."

"Follow me," Uzui said, before turning away.

*whoosh* In the next instant, he disappeared from his position, along with Hiroto who already knew that the Hashira loves using this move to show off.

"Ah!" Tanjiro yelped, as the 3 of them looked at the distancing figures of Uzui and Hiroto who were running far down the path.

"Whoa!! They're both so far away that they look as small as sesame seeds!!" Zenitsu yelled out.

"Nnnghhh!! So this is the power of the festivity God, and it seems my vice-captain has grown stronger while lazing around." Inosuke said.

"No, that guy is the Hashira Uzui Tengen-san. And my brother was always strong." Tanjiro said, correcting Inosuke.

"After them! After them!" Zenitsu yelled at Tanjiro and Inosuke before running after Uzui and Hiroto.

After a few hours of running, they arrived at a house just outside of the flower district. (Euphemism for Red Light District) Inside were people who are willing to help Demon Slayers and ask nothing in return.

Uzui was instructing them, grandiosely, on what to do. "This and that." The man who owns the house just nodded in compliance.

Inside of the house, Uzui said to them. "Once we infiltrate the Red Light District, we first have to look for my wife. I'll be looking around for information on the Demon as well."

Hiroto and Tanjiro were drinking their tea normally while Inosuke was sucking every piece of food in sight.

Zenitsu looked at Uzui in disbelief before getting angry and shouting. "This is unbelievable!!"

"Huuh?" Uzui responded, not knowing how to react to his outburst.

"Please, just stop joking around! Don't use your subordinates to look for personal brides!!!" Zenitsu yelled at him.

"Huuuh? You're misunderstanding something." Uzui said.

"No, I'm not. I'm just going to say it harshly!" Zenitsu shouted, pointing at Uzui. "Weird ass people like you will never be popular!! Look at Hiroto! He has a monocle but for some reason gets along so well with the girls at the butterfly estate! And yet you're telling us Demon Slayers that you want a bridge?!?"

*snap* "You damn foooool! MY wife infiltrated the red light district in order to collect information on the Demon!! Our regular contact was cut off. So now I'm going too!" Uzui shouted back at Zenitsu.

Tanjiro tugged on Zenitsu's sleeve to calm him down, while Zenitsu just looked at Uzui with blank eyes. "That's all in your head there, right?"

*snap* "You shitty brat!!!" Uzui yelled, before throwing large piles of letters towards Zenitsu, causing him to fall back. "Here are the letters she sent me via crow!!

"Gyaaaaah!" Zenitsu cried as he was bombarded.

*chew chew* Inosuke continued eating, and Hiroto was tapping the box Nezuko was in as she also tapped back.

"There sure are a lot," Tanjiro said, picking up a handful of letters. "Has your wife been in there for a long time?"

"I have three wives," Uzui said nonchalantly.

"THREE! WIVES… TH...THREE! YOU… YOU BASTARD! WHY DO YOU HAVE THREE WIVES! CUT THE CRAP OUT!!!" Zenitsu yelled out at him as his eyes bulged out.

'Wow, that's impressive.' Hiroto thought, as he looked at all of the letters. 'How does one get so many?'

*boom* "OGHH!" Zenitsu coughed out as he was punched in the stomach by Uzui.

"Any other complaints?" Uzui said, looking around the room with Tanjiro and Inosuke looking away. Hiroto ignored him and thought back to what souvenirs he should buy from the red light district to give the girls.

"Umm… in the letters. You remind them multiple times to do their best not to stand out, but… How exactly are we going to do this?" Tanjiro said as he held an open letter.

Uzui responded with a side glance, "Well, we're gonna be disguised, of course. You guys just have to do a certain something then infiltrate. My three wives are top of the line female ninja, Kunoichi. We believe that the flower district is an ideal place for Demons to lurk. When I infiltrated as a customer I couldn't find any traces of Demons. So for that reason, we went a bit deeper than mere customers."

Uzui turned to the group and said, "We've narrowed the number of suspicious stores down to three. So you guys will look for my wives there and gather intel." Uzui held up three fingers. " 'Suma' in the 'Tokito House.' 'Makio' in the 'Ogimoto House'. And 'Hinatsuru' In the 'Kyougoku House'."

"Aren't your wives dead already?" Inosuke said, picking his ear.

*boom* "Guffaw!" Inosuke cried out as he was punched.

"We brought the necessary items over. The owner of the house poked his head in and said amicably.

"Thanks," Uzui responded.

"What did you ask for?" Hiroto asked Uzui suspiciously.

"Don't worry. They disguise that you will all be wearing." Uzui said, before taking out one of the costumes and holding it up.

Hiroto's eyes widened, as he shouted and tried to leave the room."Oh no. Over my dead body!"

"Don't make this harder than it has to be" Uzui shouted, as he jumped towards Hiroto.

Chapter 57: The Red Light District

The Red Light District is called the Flower District because, as the name implies, this part of the city is shaped like a flower. The prostitutes living here were either living in poverty or sold out due to loans. Although they bear a lot of hardships, in exchange they are guaranteed the necessities of life.

The streets were bustling with people as it was early into the night and people were walking around to either get some 'entertainment' or 'experiences'.

"These are some ugly girls…" A woman said, kneeled in her house as she looked at the 4 girls that were standing side by side. Each of them had an exaggerated amount of makeup on their face. Of course, these were Hiroto, Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke respectively who were currently in disguise.

"Not at our place…" The woman said, declining to take these girls under her establishment. "We just bought a new girl a few days ago, so I'm sorry."

The man next to her spoke up, "Well, one should be okay."

"Then I will entrust one to you. Sorry, ma'am." A woman stood behind the 4 spoke up. Compared to the 4, she somehow managed to pull off dressed as a woman with white hair. Of course, this was Uzui, who was also in disguise.

When Uzui and Hiroto were wrestling to put on his costume, Hiroto turned the tables and also made Uzui wear a woman's disguise.

'Damn, how the hell can that creep pull it off.' Hiroto thought to himself, giving the stank eye to Uzui.

"Then we'll take the one in the middle. She seems so honest." The man said, pointing to Tanjiro.

"I'll work as hard as I can!" Sumiko *cough* Tanjiro said, entering the establishment.

"Tsk. You guys are so worthless. I can only sell you guys for cheap." Uzui said as they walked continued on.

"Shut up you. I bet you love dressing boys up into girls." Hiroto said back to him in spite.

"Why you!" Uzui retorted, about to hit Hiroto.

"Hey! There's like, a bunch of people gathering around there!" Inosuke shouted, pointing to a large gathering of people in front of them.

Uzui turned and said, "Ahh, it's an 'Oiran Parade'."

In the middle of the group, there was an elegant and beautiful woman who was being escorted by various people around her.

"It's 'Koinatsu Oiran' from the 'Tokito House'. She's the highest-ranked prostitute and is going to greet one of her customers. In any case, she is flamboyant. She has a bunch of people following her." Uzui said.

"WIFE?! IS THAT YOUR WIFE?!" Zenitsu shouted at Uzui. Is that beauty your wife?! She's too much!! Are all three of you your wives beautiful?!"

*donk* Uzui punched Zenitsu and shouted at him, "She's not my wife!! You can tell because their names are on the 'Lists'!!"

Inosuke was picking his ear, with a woman standing behind him staring intensely at the back of his head. "She's walking slow. If she was in the mountains, she'd be dead right away." Inosuke said.

"Excuse me, ma'am." The woman behind Inosuke spoke up towards Uzui. "I'd like to take this girl in. That okay? I'm part of the 'Ogimoto House'... my eyes don't deceive me."

Uzui clapped his hands and said in a high pitched voice. "Oh, you're from the Ogimoto House! Well, thanks for your patronage."

The woman paid Uzui and led Inosuke away. Zenitsu waved towards him and said, "Be well, Inoko."

"So, we just have to get sold to the last house then, the 'Kyogoku House'," Hiroto said towards Uzui.

"Yea, hopefully, they'd be willing to buy you, even if it's for dirt cheap prices," Uzui said.

'I'm dressed up as a girl, I'm not sure If I should be offended or not.' Hiroto thought as they walked towards the next house.

Arriving at the entrance of the Kyogoku House, Uzui decided to take off the makeup, claiming that by using his 'flamboyant' looks, he can sell both Hiroto and Zenitsu to the 'Kyogoku House'.

Walking in, they met a middle-aged woman who was tending the front, and upon seeing Uzui's… flamboyant looks blushed.

"Good evening, ma'am. I was wondering if you would like to buy these two wonderful girls here? The blond one here is super nice, and the red-haired girl is great at singing and entertaining her guests. She has a great voice. You can just take them both and make them do anything. Even if they clean the bathrooms. This one's just a random good for nothing." Uzui said, slapping Zenitsu's head.

The woman blushed and said, "Why, of course, we can! We have room available to house these two lovely girls." She took out some money and paid Uzui.

"Thank you, ma'am. Be good now girls." Uzui gave a smile to Hiroto and Zenitsu before walking off. 'I'm going to kill him.' Hiroto thought as he stared at Uzui's back.

The woman grabbed Hiroto's and Zenitsu's shoulder before leading them away. "Alright, follow me! Hmm, let's get rid of your hairtail and let your hair loose." The woman said, reaching for Hiroto's ponytail.

Hiroto covered his head and said in a perfect falsetto voice. "It's alright ma'am. I can do that myself, no need to trouble you." His hair tie was gifted to him by Nezuko before his Muzan's attack, he wouldn't let just anybody touch or get near it.

Taking his hair tie off, his red and faint purplish hair flowed down and hung around his shoulders. The woman's eyes widened as she shouted in joy. "Haha! Look at how beautiful your hair is! Just from your hair alone, we can get you to become our next top attraction!"

Hiroto shuddered when he heard her words, before being escorted with Zenitsu away.

The two came into a room with a multitude of musical instruments laying around, as various sounds were being played on them by some of the establishment's women.

"Alright! We have two new girls with us! Introduce yourselves." The woman who guided them said to the rest in the room.

Zenitsu spoke up in a broken high pitched voice, "I'm Zeniko."

Hiroto spoke up is his, uncannily, falsetto and feminine tone, "I'm Himiko, please take care of us." They both bowed.

"Oh wow, her hair is so pretty!" *whisper* "Say, don't you think that blond girl is a bit too ugly?"

"Well, from what the seller told me, and I do have to say that he was quite good looking, I was told that Himiko has a great singing voice and can entertain guests well, so we can have her sing for us. As for Zeniko, well apparently she doesn't have any notable skills. So how about getting her to play one of the instruments." The woman said.

The woman beckoned Zeniko *cough* Zenitsu forward to a shamisen. "How about you try this?"

Zenitsu kneeled down and picked up the shamisen, not knowing how to properly hold it.

"Here, try and follow what I do." One of the girls on the side said to Zenitsu. She began playing a melody with her shamisen. Zenitsu's ears perked, he was able to completely hear how each note sounded and it's different pitches.

Zenitsu mimicked her actions and played some random notes at first, but then started to flawlessly play the same melody as the girl.

All of the girls had their eyes widened as they saw how she was a complete amateur and was able to play the same melody as the girl.

Zenitsu was then told to switch to the koto and proceeded to do the same after he finished listening to a girl play a melody from it first.

Zenitsu remembered back to when Uzui called him a good for nothing, and started to play the koto with more energy and violently as he scowled.

"Sh… she's really good with the shamisen."

"Yeah… She's overwhelming."

The girls around the room commented, seeing how intense Zenitsu was playing.

Just outside of the room, the woman that took them in was speaking to another woman with a pipe in her hand.

"Did you just take her in?" The woman with the pipe asked. "It seems she has good ears. She can play whatever she hears one time, whether on the shamisen or on the koto. Well, although she's ugly we'll take her in. I can see the fighting spirit in her, she wants revenge for the guy that sold her."

The woman next to her then asked, "We should see what she can do next." She pointed towards Himiko *cough* Hiroto.

"Himiko, since we were told that you have a good voice, try singing something for us." A girl from the side said.

"But, I don't know any songs to sing," Hiroto responded, in his falsetto voice.

"Here, sing this." A girl from the side handed him a page that had lyrics to a song.

Hiroto read and began to sing the song, stunning the people around him. Something that was kept secret to only a few people, was that Hiroto actually had a really good singing voice. Although he doesn't like to do it in front of others. As for how Uzui knew? He didn't. He was 100% bluffing.

Finishing the song quietly, Hiroto looked up from the page and was greeted by a round of applause.

"We hit the jackpot this time." The madam said. (Madam is the manager)
