It's been 2 days since (Y/N) arrival at Yoshiwara. For 2 days, he already gathered a lot of information in such short time.
He already learned about the missing peoples that were reported. He asked a lot of people about the missing people and all of them are said to be young girls.
(Y/N) has been watching the female upper moon since the past few days. Turns out, she is the Warabihime and one of the oiran.
However, she turns out to be cruel type of person with a malicious personality. Being the oiran from the Kyogoku House, she's been treating the underlings in abusive manners. As much as (Y/N) hate she abusing the others, he can't blow his cover just yet.
There's also one thing that putting (Y/N) in trouble, he found out where the missing people might be. But the place is not quite easy to reach...
(Y/N) do not know how the place look like, but he already detected where they are. The problem is how he is going to get there.
When (Y/N) activated the sharingan in his investigation, he found a huge aura under the ground buried underneath it. The aura is giving the same feeling as other living human.
The demon is probably saving her meals by kidnapping the humans and then devours them later.
He technically can get there, he can just use his sword and slammed the ground then immediately try to save the people that is buried under the ground.
The thing that could be an obstacle of doing so is that he could attract the demon's attention herself. She couldn't possibly let him save her 'foods' easily.
(Y/N) knew that he will have fight her in due time. But the thing is, fighting in this place put a lot of risk. The Red Light District is always crowded for days and night. People's lives is in stake if they battle here.
He need to think right now fot his next course of action. As if on cue, he immediately saw someone his familiar with on another roof.
The person he saw is a boy with green and black checkered Haori talking to a pretty boy. It's Tanjirou! He's here! Perfect timing for him to create a plan.
(Y/N) immediately jumped straight at both of them and appeared next to them. The pretty boy immediately went hostile probably startled by (Y/N) sudden appearance.
The boy sent a straight punch and (Y/N) moved his head to the side making him missed. "WHO ARE YOU! HOW DID YOU FIND US? COULD YOU PERHAPS BE THE DEMON" the boy yelled.
"Wait Inosuke! His scent tell me he's a human. He's not a hostile." Tanjirou said trying to calm down his friend. Inosuke backed away a bit but still eyeing (Y/N) cautiously.
(Y/N) then turned his attention to Tanjirou, "Long time no see, Tanjirou" (Y/N) greeted. Tanjirou just stared at (Y/N) in confusion.
"I'm sorry if I may sound rude, but who are you?" Tanjirou asked. (Y/N) realised that he still has his mask and he opened his mask revealing his face.
Tanjirou had a look of familiar after he saw (Y/N) unmasked. "(Y/N)! What are you doing here? Did you also came here to hunt the demon?" Tanjirou asked.
(Y/N) just confirmed before he went straight to the point telling everything he knows right like the Oiran from the Kyogoku House is actually the demon.
"If you already know who's the demon, why didn't you immediately stop her?" Inosuke asked in suspicion. (Y/N) then revealed that he found where the missing peoples went and he couldn't try to stop her now.
(Y/N) then told them that he found the people is actually trapped underneath the ground. He also revealed that the demon is an upper moon. This shocked both of the boys who is listening to him.
(Y/N) then revealed that he has a plan. One of them will save the people underground, one will distract the demon attention and fight her and the last one will evacuate the people nearby.
After discussing for 5 minutes, it is settled. Tanjirou said that he will hold the demon while Inosuke will save the hostages under the ground.
Meanwhile, (Y/N) will be the one evacuating the people. The reason why (Y/N) isn't the one stalling the demon is because Tanjirou thought that it's better for (Y/N) to get the people to safety because (Y/N) is more faster.
He have witness twice (Y/N)'s abilities and he concluded that (Y/N) is strong like the pillars. He still remember the Kocho sisters advise to stay away from (Y/N) if he ever encounter him.
But soo far, he never saw evilness inside (Y/N) and his nose can't detect any malicious scent from him. For now, he will trust him with his own judgement.
And with this, the plan is set. (Y/N) immediately went around the house near the streets and started to evacuate people bit by bit.
However, it's not easy as it seem. This is because a lot of them questioned why they need to evacuate. (Y/N) told them that something bad is going to happen that could put them in harm.
The civilians still look at him not convinced at all. This is until a sudden quake occurred. (Y/N) don't know what's happening right now on the other side, but he decide to take this advantage making the quake as an excuse to the civilians to evacuate.
Another quake happened and the civilians started to feel worried. They started to take (Y/N)'s words and evacuate far away from their home.
The one who make the quake is the sound pillar, Uzui Tengen. It seems Tengen is also going underground by slamming both of his blade into the ground hence creating an impact strong enough into a quake.
Tengen knew about something going on in the underground because he hears the vibrations coming from an underground cavern and he suspected something is going on.
Elsewhere at Ogimoto House, Inosuke can be seen cackling as he discovers a hole leading to a 'Demon Nest'. He proudly yells at the hole to prepare itself before trying to dive in headfirst.
After realizing that only his head fits, he takes it as a challenge and begins to snap his body, claiming he can dislocate the joints in his body. All while freighting the daylights out of the staff from the Ogimoto House thats observing him.
He manages to sliter through the opening, and travels through the tunnel until he reaches the main cavern. Once he arrives, he discovers the long trails of the obi draped throughout the cavern.

~With Tanjirou~
Tanjirou is struggling to stand up properly as he is exhausted right now from fighting Daki. He tries to continue his attack, however he is left exhausted from his use of the Hinokami Kagura and has trouble getting up.
The demon immediately went to attack Tanjirou. Tanjirou manages to use the recovery breathing technique to overcome his technique and narrowly avoids Daki's attack.
He goes on the offense and attacks Daki, however her obi gets in the way preventing him from defeating her, leaving him with no choice but to raise his body temperature even higher.
He needs to raise his body temperature for the sake of using Hinokami Kagura continuously. Tanjirou then continue to fight her which is very difficult with how the demon's obi is protecting her from his slashes.
Tanjiro begins to gasp as the Hinokami Kagure begins to take a toll on his body, but he refuses to let up in order to protect the people of the district. He need to buy time for (Y/N) to evacuate the people.....
