Chapitre 11: The Entertainment District (Part 1)
Tanjiro was coming back to Butterfly Mansion after being exhausted from his recent Mission . He was here to pick oniment and check for injuries . He has been training under the supervision of Flame hashira with his two friends Zenitsu and Inosuke . They both were currently on joint mission.
Tomioka san had said to Rengoku to keep sending them to Missions for building up experience and then make them fight to see who was lacking in which area . Tanjiro was doing good for now and had been stronger then other two in fights but Inosuke is not that far and Zenitsu only really less time to use his technique .
His focus has increased because of the training and supervision from sounds hashira Tengen san . Though Zenitsu said bad things about him after knowing that he have three wives but got punch in guts. Tomioka san and stone hashira are paired for a long time and haven't been changed .
Rengoku or Tengen san don't know the reason but he asked Tomioka san he said that they were after a Demon who had a cult and call Muzan a god . This was something he didn't want to continue because Muzan shouldn't be a god and that cult could also be used by Muzan to create more Demon by saying it as scared ritual .he told us to not tell any of this to Shinobu , we understand that after Rengoku san and Tengen san looked worried hearing about it .
Shinobu Said to him that her Elder sister was killed by a Demon . Tanjiro came to know that she was hashira and only demon that could kill a hashira are Uppermoons. That mean they are after a Uppermoon maybe one who is stronger that Akaza since strongest hashira was also on this mission with him .
Tengen san looked little more worried these days too for some reason . Tanjiro have came to see that Tengen was good at heart was more like kyojuro in some cases but he was too much into art nowdays after Rengoku san told him about what he looked like in Tomioka san dream . He was impressed that Tomioka san saw him as artist but him having explosives in schools in children was not something he liked since it was dangerous but Flashy .
Rengoku san and Tengen san were now used to fighting against each other whenever they both trained them on usual basis. Tomioka san also came sometimes to check on there training but looked tired maybe because he was looking for base of the demon . The demon was never at one place and always changing but it was also hard to find a cults bases too .
Tomioka san looked sleep deprived but said that he will take full sleep and went to his estate for rest before Tanjiro left for this mission . Tomioka looked like he wanted put this demon down even more then anything . Tanjiro was walking towards butterfly Mansion when he heard some shouting voices .
He rushed towards the gate and saw Tengen standing while other girls swarming him . Tanjiro said " Tengen san what are you doing to the girl !?let them go !!" Tanjiro took a good look on them it was like girls were swarming him . Tanjiro was looking confused when girls said to him" kidnapper! ! Help us !! " Tanjiro rushed towards Uzui and tried head butt him saying " sorry Tengen san but can't let kidnapp Nahi and Aoi . "
Tengen jumped up on the gate and other two girls falled of but Tanjiro catched them in mid air . Tengen said to Tanjiro " I am former ninja boy , I am well verse in that world . Don't you try to head butt me politely . " Tanjiro said " Let go of Aoi and Naho Tengen otherwise I will camplain to shinobu san about you kidnapping then like a creepy man"
Tengen was in really mood because of his wives going missing entertainment district and he was not in mood of dealing with it especially with Kocho who warned him about it . He shouted at them " who are you calling creepy .I am only taking them because i need female corps member on Mission . She is not tsuguko so I don't need Kocho permission !!"
Kiyo Said to Tengen while crying " Naho is not even corps member , she not wearing uniform. " Tengen looked at little girl and then throwed her at them saying " then I don't need her ."Tanjiro shouted at Tengen loudly " what are you doing !? You brute !!" While catching Naho in his arms . She said crying " waahhh he dropped me ."
Tengen said to him " I am taking her . She don't Look much useful but she is still corps member . " Tanjiro said " different people have different abilities . You can't use them like you want . Thats not a good thing Tengen san ,Let Aoi go ." Tengen knew that Tanjiro had potential but his mindset was something holding him back . So he said " Tanjiro you may have potential but your mindset stands in it way . Because brats like corps is getting weaker because new members like you who just rattle on."
Tanjiro shouted " then take me instead of her."Zenitsu and Inosuke also came back from there mission and jumped at sidewalls of Mansion gate. Inosuke said " I just got back but I am not tired , I will go as well ." While pointing at himself with his thumb . Zenitsu said in anger " let go of Aoi you Muscle bound monster , I will not let you keep hogging girls like that . You already have three wives and yet you are taking you other I will not stand aside and watch you doing that .you creep , muscle head !!"
Zenitsu was more of jealous of Tengen and seeing taking Aoi only put fuel in fire but for his last comment Tengen gave him a punch at head . He said to them " Whatever you guys can come with me but we have to take permission from Kyojuro , let go there. !" He put down Aoi and took them to Rengoku estate with him .
Rengoku was with his little brother in courtyard of his house when Tengen came with Tanjiro, Inosuke and Zenitsu . Rengoku asked senjuro to bring food and tea for them and he went to greet Tengen . Tengen explained to him about wanting to take those three to Entertainment District .
Kyojuro thought for moment and said to him " Tengen I can let them go with but I will be go with you as well since Zenitsu and Inosuke are orginally Tomioka's tsuguko and I can't put them in danger since they can be discovered by Uppermoon and Don't know if the same could also happen to this Uppermoon what happened to uppermoon 3 . So ,you will need my help in battle . "
Tengen tried to say that he will order them to retreat before battle starts but kyojuro said " they will not stand aside just like that Because They felt useless for not being able to help us in the fight against Uppermoon 3 and are trying their best to get strong , you have seen this yourself ." Tengen have seen them train restlessly even under Tomioka's . So, there was not much of excuse he could make .
Even Master have partnered them because of his Mission having a chance of uppermoon . Kyojuro had a experience in fight against Uppermoon ,so this could be helpful to find his wives . He tried to argue a little but agreed to his wishes in the end .
Senjuro was sitting with other three outside while taking to them . Tengen came outside with Kyojuro and said to three of them ." You three can come , kyojuro will also be coming with us , Let's go. You brats ."they started to walk behind him just outside of Kyojuro house waiting for him to arrive after getting ready when Tanjiro asked Uzui " So , Tengen san where are we going ?"
Uzui looked at them and said " The flashest place in Japan , steeped with lust and Avarice .we are going to Entertainment District where demons dwell ." Rengoku also came outside fully ready for Mission. Tengen said to them " Now that kyojuro is here , let's go . Along the way Hanamachi , there is a westria house . We make our preprations there . Now follow us " and left in speed .
Kyojuro followed him saying to them " Don't fall behind , let's go ." They already have seen kyojuro and Tengen fights so they knew that he was fast but currently he left them behind in dust . Both Rengoku and Uzui looked sesame seeds from far behind . They all started to run behind them to catch up to them . They were doing barely keeping up because of being so far behind and other two were not slowing down .
At Westria house :-
Soon they reached the westria house near Hanamachi and Tengen was being super bossy for things they need for Mission and Kyojuro thanked them for there service .
They went in and sat down in hall while waiting for Tengen order to be completed . Tengen decided to fill them in for details and said " Once we reach Entertainment District . We'll gather information on the Demon while ,you keep open eye for women that I can marry . "
Once Tengen finished the sentence Zenitsu shouted at him " THAT'S ABSURD!!!" Tengen looked at him while he continued " stop messing around , you already have three wives and still want more . Demon slayer corps is not matchmaking service . I still don't get why they married a weirdo like you but your lust is still unsatisfied , you bastard !!."
Tengen Punched him in guts and said " you got problem with me chump." Kyojuro smiled and explained to them " Tengen wives went there to gather information on demon in disguise but he didn't get any response from them . We going there because of that and are going to stuck in as disguise since there letter said that we should stand out there . "
Tengen said " I thought entertainment district is a good place for a demon to hide so , I went as a customer but didn't find any leads . So , sent my wives who are outstanding Kunoichi - female ninja's to go there to gather information , but not as customers . we've narrowed down to three main establishments , you three go there and look for them.
Suma at house Tokito, Makio at house Ogimoto and Hinatsuru at house Kyogoku ."they were just listening to details while Zenitsu was out cold at floor when Inosuke said that what if his wives were dead and got a punch like Zenitsu from Tengen and dropped uncoucious at floor joining Zenitsu .
The owner of Westria house opened the door and said " We've brought what you asked for ." His wife was with him . Kyojuro calmed down Tengen and said " don't worry Tengen, we will find them safe and sound." Tengen thanked the owner and his wife .
At Hanamachi entertainment district :-
Yoshiwara a town of night , awash in vanity ,desire ,love and hate . The Hanamachi entertainment district as it's name suggests is the specialized section of town . Most of courtesans here were sold into service due to poverty and debt so , they bear many hardships .
They have now food , clothes and shelter and if they succeeded as courtesans , a wealthy man may yet but their freedom . The Orian is highest rank among courtesans ,is special woman one who have everything ; Beauty , Education and Artistry .
An Orain ranks highest in status , so it can be difficult meet one , men complete with each other in order to gain the attention of Orian .
Currently Tengen and Kyojuro were wearing a kimono and were standing in front of the owner and his wife . They both looked really handsome that they could charm any woman at sight . Tengen was the one who changed Kyojuro' s hairstyles . His hair were just falling down since after a hour changes , nothing suited kyojuro other than his own hairstyle.
The wife house owner said " whoa .... Those are some UGLY girls ." Her husband said " sorry but we just got new help, so we can't..." But his wife cut him mid sentance and said " we will take one " she was charmed by Tengen looks. Kyojuro said to her husband " Don't worry about there looks. They are really hardworking girls. You can make them do heavy work too."
Three of them were in female yukata's and wearing plaster makeup on face . There hair were teid with ribbons. It seemed like that Tengen didn't tried even to make them look good but that was ok since he needed them to be ugly because they needed to do housework to find his wives and those who have no looks are given these tasks . So it was justified and kyojuro saying that they were hardworking put there focus on putting them there .
Tengen named Tanjiro as Sumiko , Inosuke as inoko and Zenitsu as zeniko . The house owner brought tanjiro on request of his wife . Then Tengen and Kyojuro left with other two . Tengen was saying to both them that they were truly hopeless and he will sell them dirt cheap price .
Inosuke was not paying attention meanwhile Zenitsu was staring to Uzui with bitter eyes kyojuro was looking for way to house Kyogoku . Zenitsu said to Uzui " I am not talking to you ." Tengen responded "because I dressed you like a girl ?, you said you will do anything I told you ."
Zenitsu thought were ' idiot ! It not because you dressed me like a girl , it because of your face , you are too handsome .!! ' Inosuke eyes caught something and he asked Uzui " hey what over there , what that ?" Pointing at Orian dochu. Tengen explained to him " oh.. it's Orian dochu .a courtesans procession. That Koinatsu . Orian of house Tokito ."
" I see , you know about many things Tengen " kyojuro said to him , who just came back after asking for directions ." I visited this place for mission . So I know about pretty much ." People were talking that a high ranking courtesan was going to greet a suitor and how much did it cost him .
Zenitsu lashed out after listening to him and said " Huh , that your wife ? That goddess is your wife , are all three that beautiful .that not fair ,you never showed there picture to me " Uzui was annoyed that Zenitsu was not even remembering who his wife was and said to him " that not my wife , I even wrote down there names for you ,fool !!" trying to punch him but kyojuro was holding him back.
The wife of house Ogimoto was walking when her eyes caught the sight of Inosuke who was not even payin attention .she then looked at Tengen and Kyojuro while saying " pardon me ,kind sir , if you are looking to place that child then ,I will take her in. I am madam of house Ogimoto and I have eye for talent ."
Tengen was happy that one the house head woman was asking for him to sell Inosuke to her . It reduced there work so he sold him in dirt cheap price . They said them that Inosuke was mute from birth , that why he was so cheap and all that left was Zenitsu who was thinking that what will happen to him.
They started walking towards to house Kyogoku and asked to meet house lady . The house was also blushing at the sight of Uzui and Kyojuro . Kyojuro didn't spoke during time when Uzui made deals with house ladies since he didn't much about these things .Uzui simply gave Zenitsu for free to the house lady of house Kyogoku .
He said that they can have her and make her do hard work , liek cleaning toilets and other things and gave him for free . Kyojuro tried to say that Zenitsu had talent for things but that didn't calmed Zenitsu anger at Uzui for throwing him away like some trash .
After that both of them left to keep an one each house to see if there was something odd . They were also gathering information but because of Kyojuro's bluntness , Tengen kept kyojuro with him and both them were gathering information together now .
All three of them were at house where Uzui wives were . House lady of Tokito house was angry at Uzui and Kyojuro because of Tanjiro's scar at head . Inosuke makeup was removed and his beautiful face was revealed and house Ogimoto had a big catch in there hands . House lady wanted him to be bigger Orian then Warabihime of house Kyogoku and Koinatsu of house Tokito .
Zenitsu had greet talent for instruments but he was playing them in his anger at Uzui . He was saying that will show Tengen his worth by becoming biggest Orian at yoshiwara (which can't happen). House lady said that Zenitsu wanted to get back at Uzui and girls like that go really high .
