"Hey! Who are you? What do you want from Aoi-chan?" Yumiko asked. There stood a fine-suited man, the rest had gone away. "She hasn't paid her debts for more than a month!" the man said. "Huh, how much did she owe?" Yumiko asked again. "¥500 000 to ¥750 000." The man said. "Wow, that's expensive." Yumiko thought. "

Now give the money back to me before I do something to you, women! Remember, I don't want to hurt women." The man said. "Wait! don't hurt Aoi-chan, I will pay for it." Yumiko said. "How do you pay me? Do you even have the money?" he asked. "Don't misunderstood." Yumiko said. Then Yumiko paid the man. "There! Now go or I will tell the master of this estate!" Yumiko said. Then the man left.

"I'm sorry Yumiko-chan, actually Shinobu-sama and I have more debts than this, since the donation Oyakata-sama gave is too little. But there's a lot of injured slayers each day! We do not have the heart to see people die in a tragic way." Aoi explained. 

"It's okay, Aoi-chan, I understand what you meant." Yumiko said. Then Aoi just hugged Yumiko and cried. "There, there, it's okay Aoi-chan." Yumiko said. The day turned into night, the beautiful moon came out. Yumiko took a deep breath and sighed. "Ara, what's wrong, Yumiko-chan? Shinobu asked.

"I'm just worried if Aoi and Shinobu-sama do not pay the debt." Yumiko said. "H-how did y-you k-know?!" Shinobu asked. "Eh? The debt collector came yesterday!" Yumiko said. "How much does it cost?" Shinobu sighed. "The cost is ¥750 000." Yumiko said. "That's very expensive!" Shinobu said. "Who could pay that much?" Shinobu asked. 

"It's me, Shinobu-sama." Yumiko said. "Ara! Why did you spend such a money?" Shinobu asked. "I still have money from my Otto-san's inheritance, but it's okay, at least I want Aoi-chan and Shinobu-sama to be free from debts. It's also for repaying your kindness!" Yumiko said.

"Ara, Thank you so much, Yumiko-chan, I should repay you for that! I'm sorry you have to pay for it! You actually could buy another thing more precious for you!" Shinobu hugged Yumiko while crying. "No need to repay me." Yumiko smiled. 

Then Yumiko left with Shinobu-sama. "Sayonara, Shinobu-sama!" Yumiko said. Then Yumiko walked to her room and took a shower. "Ahhh! It's good for me to get hot water at night!" Yumiko said. Then Yumiko walked to her bed and slept. The next day, Yumiko and Tanjiro with their friends have a mission with the sound pillar, Uzui Tengen.

"Another pillar?" Yumiko asked. "Yep, The sound pillar, Uzui Tengen, The one and only said 'Flamboyant'." Tanjiro said. "Ohhh, is he as attractive as Rengoku-san?" Yumiko asked. "No, Aniki is more attractive than Uzui-san." Tanjiro said. "Ohhh." Yumiko said. "And he's more annoying than I imagine." A familiar voice said. 

"Rengoku-san-, he's dead, don't expect him to be alive again, Yumiko." Yumiko thought. "Hm, I think we must fight Uppermoon again." Yumiko said. "Not really, we must keep investigating if it's true there is an Uppermoon. "Yeah, I agree with you, Tanjiro." Yumiko said.

One hour later, Yumiko's legs are tired and can't stand again. "I-I can't stand up." Yumiko mumbled. "I'll carry you." Tanjiro said. "Zenitsu, can I keep Nezuko with you?" Tanjiro said while holding the box. "S-sure!" Zenitsu said while grabbing the box. "Now let's go!" Tanjiro said. "Huh? What are you guys doing? We're near the Wisteria Inn!" Tengen said. "Hai!" they said.

*Timeskip*

"Oh, dear me!" the hostess of the Tokito house said. "These are some ugly girls!" Tengen said. "Not at our place, we just bought a new girl a few days ago. I'm sorry" the owner of the house said. ".... Well, one will be okay!" the hostess said. "Then, I'll entrust one to you. Sorry ma'am." Tengen said. "Then, I'll take her!" the hostess pointed at Tanjiro. "I'll work as hard as I can!" Tanjiro said with his made-up voice.

*Timeskip*

The moon rises, a sign that night has come. "Woah, it's night already! But Uzui-san, what are these makeup for?" Yumiko said. "Even Mitsuko's is better than this- clown makeup! I mean, we looked like an idiot, using this horribly used makeup! And I look super ugly! You know that weird makeup causes disgrace to a woman's face?!" Yumiko said.

 "Well, it is my 'Flamboyant' makeup by me, the god of Festivities, the most 'Flamboyant' god! You should be grateful that I give you a very 'Flamboyant' makeup! It is 'Flamboyant'! Just like me!" Tengen boasted. "Huh, I'm embarrassed looking like this! It is a disgrace!" Yumiko thought.

"You're beautiful, Yumiko-san!" Zenitsu said. "Oh thanks for the praise Zenitsu!" Yumiko said. The crowd gathers and a drum is played. "Who is that?" Yumiko asked. "It's Koinatsu-Oiran, from the Tokito house!" Tengen said. "Uzui-san, Who is Koinatsu-Oiran?" Yumiko asked. "You don't know who Koinatsu-Oiran is?" Tengen asked. 

"Yes, I don't know." Yumiko said. "I see, Koinatsu-Oiran is the highest ranked prostitute in the Tokito house." Tengen said. "Oh, really? Thank you for explanation." Yumiko said. "P-prostitute?" Yumiko thought. "Anytime!" Tengen said. "Wife? That beauty is your wife! She's too much! Are all of your three wives beautiful?!" Zenitsu shouted.

"She's not my wife!" Tengen punched Zenitsu. "She's walking so slow. If she's in the mountains, she'll be dead right away!" Inosuke said. "Excuse me sir, I'd like to take this girl in. Is that okay?" a lady appeared, pointing to Inosuke. "I'm part of the 'Ogimoto house'.... My eyes don't deceive me." she said. "Oh, you're from the Ogimoto house! Well, thanks for your patronage!" Tengen said. "Be well Inoko!" Tengen said.

*Timeskip*

-The Kyougoku House-

"Here's... 2 ugly girls. Do you mind taking them in?" Tengen asked. "Um... sure, but let me inform the hostess first.." The lady said. "I heard about the girls, but before we take them in, we'll test them." the hostess came to them. "Sure! Zeni- I mean, Zenko-chan, Yumiko-chan, let's get in!" Tengen said.

*A few minutes later*

"I'll take them! How much is it?" the hostess asked. "Hm, since they're not that pretty..., ¥10 is enough for both of them!" Tengen said. Meanwhile, Yumiko knew what Tengen actually meant. "Huh! I costs ¥5? Am I too... ugly? Why am I so cheap?" Yumiko thought. A well played-yet-horrible shamisen is heard very clearly. "Looks like Zenitsu is taking his anger out on that shamisen! Oh, poor shamisen!" Yumiko giggled.

"Oh right, just take her and make her do anything, even if she has to clean the bathrooms. She's just a random good for nothing." Uzui said, pointing at Zenitsu. "Eh?" Yumiko thought while giggling. "I- I'll make that guy pay! I'll definitely be the greatest Oiran here!" Zenitsu thought. "Zenitsu, Please calm down about Uzui-san. He is definitely very annoying, so accept what he said to the girl." Yumiko said. "F-fine!" Zenitsu said. "Hahaha, you look like a chubby boy when you have makeup." Yumiko giggled.

*Timeskip*

"A new girl, they say?" the Oiran asked. "Yes, two," her servant said. "Are they pretty? Or are they like fat pigs?" she asked harshly. "W-well, I- I don't know, Warabihime-Oiran!" her servant replied. "How can you not know, idiot!" the oiran asked again. "I-it's because I haven't met them face-to-face, Oiran!" her servant said in a shaky voice. 

"So, it's only a gossip?" the Oiran asked. "I- I don't know!" her servant said. The oiran wrecked all the things in her room and began to hit her servant badly and left her room messy. The servant cried and Zenitsu peeked in.

"WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS ROOM?! ALL MESSY!" Zenitsu shouted. "Huh? Who are you?" the servant asked Zenitsu. "What happ-" Yumiko said, shocked. "What in the world?! Who did this?" Yumiko asked. "What are you both doing in someone's room?" shouted the pretty Oiran, who just came back. It was the most spine-chilling voice that they had ever heard. And they realised that the Oiran is a demon. "Hey, are you both deaf?" she asked the shivering Yumiko and Zenitsu.

"W-Warabihime-Oiran! They're the girls who came just now!" another servant cried. "Huh? So what of it? Pigs!" she said. "We- we're sorry for just barging in! The room is in a complete mess and there's a girl crying!" Zenitsu said "This room is in a total mess now. And I told this girl here, to clean it all up." The Oiran pinched the ear of her servant and lifted her up. "KYAAAH!" the poor servant shouted in pain. 

"Shut the h*ll up! Don't scream! Just clean the d*mn room! Idiot!" the Oiran shouted. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I'll do it right away! Please forgive me!" the servant cried. Yumiko noticed that the servant's right ear began to bleed.

Yumiko can't stand this torture she's seeing right infront of her eyes. "O-oiran-sama, please don't hurt her." Yumiko said while shivering. Zenitsu suddenly held the Oiran's wrist without hesitating. "What is this?!" the Oiran asked in anger. 

"Get your hands off her!" he said.
