The Galaxy King landed in a hidden spot on Tanjiro's world as both Tanjiro and Inosuke had confusion etched on their faces.

The group had previously come off a heartbreaking ending to a long journey with Tetsu of the 1,000 swords. While they were battling large hordes of the criminal underworld, they received aid from Tenebris, reformed Darkness Universe Elder now member of the Demon Slayer Corps, Kagane Hiryuu, Devil Summoner and 15th name bearer of Raidou Kuzunoha, and most surprisingly, Tengen Uzui, ex-Shinobi from the Uzui Clan and Sound Pillar, who out of the blue planned to take some of the Alliance's female members for an official mission.

The Hero Alliance convinced Tengen to have them all go with him on his mission. He agreed to do so, but only if the Demon Slayers do exactly as he said. Their destination? The flashiest spot in all of Tanjiros Homeworld… the Yoshiwara Entertainment District. And so the heroes landed in a spot where they can depart to the district easily, of course giving Tengen himself a ride.

"So…what is the Entertainment District?" Tanjiro asked.

"You know. It's that place with all the beautiful…all those shapely…you know what I mean." Zenitsu said.

"He means girls." Goutou said.

"Of course…" Gemini sighed.

"Listen up!" Uzui said. "I am a god! You all are trash! That's the first bit of info you need to pound into your heads! Drive it in. Turn into dogs if I say so. Become monkeys if I say to do it. You'll bend over backwards and follow my every single move. And remember above all else…I am a god!"

"Is this guy for real?" Ragna sweatdropped.

"Question…what are you a god of?" Luffy asked.

"Really?" Saki sweatdropped.

"Excellent pupil! I am a god of festivals! A god of flashiness!" Uzui said.

"Yeah…this guy is a god of idiots." Catra murmured.

"Well I'm the king of the mountains. Nice to meet you, god of festivals." Inosuke said.

"What are you talking about? You sure are creepy!" Uzui said.

"(You're one to talk.)" Goutou thought as Tanjiro held Inosuke back.

"I find it hard to believe this guy's an Ex-ninja with how he acts." Hope said.

"Believe it or not, it's true. Massive god complex too." Kagane said.

"We've wasted enough time. Let's go!" Uzui said as he was already far ahead with massive speed.

"This guy is gonna be a handful, I can feel it." David said.

"Power through it kid." Goutou said.

The others soon took off after Tengen, Dark Water and Yuzuriha going last.

"Alright, hold down the fort, guys!" DW typed.

"Hold on kiddo, why just us two?" Yuzuriha said. "I mean I understand taking me since I'm guardian of my family's shrine. But why not take my little bro or Jin?"

"Can't risk causing trouble with the locals. They tend to be…pretty sensitive to anything demon-related, from what the others told me. Now I know we don't have full demons in our team, but it's better to play it safe this way. Besides, you're the best fit for this world." DW typed.

"Fine. Seems pretty dumb if you ask me." Yuzuriha said.

"It may seem dumb, but it's the right call. Now c'mon, lets catch up." DW typed as the two headed off to catch Tengen and the others.

They soon arrived in the Entertainment District, all of them captivated by the bright lights and new sights.

"Now listen you all. We're only here to case the joint. No wandering about on your own." Uzui said.

"Don't worry…we're pretty good at not causing…" Dhar said.

"Zenitsu and Inosuke already ran off." Jexi said.

"Hold on." Saki said, going after them and a few minutes later was dragging them back as steam emitted from their heads.

"I can't believe those two." Adora said.

"You can't really blame them." Uzui said. "The Yoshiwara Entertainment District is awash in lust and desire. Flashy, right? By day, this place is like a ghost town. But at night, it roars to life with all kinds of people. Ideal circumstances for demons."

"Well I understand Zenitsu, but does Inosuke become uncomfortable in large crowds?" Elisabeth asked.

"Inosuke was raised in the wilderness. Naturally, city life like this isn't his comfort zone." Hope said.

"I see." Elisabeth said.

"But while the district itself is a sight, the main attraction in a place like this is women." Hope said.

"Hence why you picked us up." Sectonia said.

"This place is definitely the perfect hiding place for a demon." Mark said.

"That's right." Uzui said as they got a room at an inn with the wisteria mark on it. "Now listen you all, once you enter the Entertainment District, you should seek out my wives. I'll search for info on the demons."

"Wait, wives? Multiple?" David asked in a murmuring tone.

"That is what a guy like him would fantasize." Zenitsu said before being hit by multiple letters.

"Here's your proof. Letters sent to me by Kasugai Crow." Uzui said.

"Quite a lot. She must have been under lots of pressure." Ginseng said.

"Well I do have 3 wives." Uzui said.

"Three? Whoa… You must be quite a charmer to have those kinds of hookups." David said.

"Are you insinuating something?" Mark asked.

"I-I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that. People's romantic interests are no one's business but their own. It's just… Well, how do I say this?" David asked.

"It's not possible! Wives? And three?! You bastard! There's no way! No…" Zenitsu said before Uzui took him down with a punch to the gut.

"Anyone else got any complaints?" Uzui asked.

"I think it's romantic." Nuna smiled.

"Huh. I can't help but notice that a lot of these letters warn you not to stand out." Gemini said. "It's why you wanted… well, help from some of the girls right?"

"That's right, and now I'm sending you guys." Tengen replied.

"So what's the plan?" Hope asked.

The next day…

"This is not what we had in mind." Gemini said as some of the demon slayers were dressed in robes and makeup.

"Just grin and bear it. We need to seem appealing, remember?" Sectonia asked.

"Speak for yourself, you're the only one that seems natural at this." Gemini said.

"Easy for you girls to say." Mark said. "Why do we guys have to do this too?"

"We need demon slayers in as many of the three houses as possible." Uzui said.

"Yeah, but… Cross-dressing is not exactly on my bucket list." David said. "I feel so mortified…"

"Just relax. It will only seem like a long time." Sectonia said.

And so, donning female aliases, the seven demon slayers were spread across the entertainment district. Tanjiro, David and Mark were sent to House Tokito, Inosuke and Sectonia to House Ogimoto and Zenitsu and Gemini to House Kyogoku.


"Ha! I knew it!" said the matron of the Ogimoto house as she wiped off the makeup on Inosuke's face. "She's beautiful. I wasn't sure about it with all that makeup plastered on her but now I'm certain I picked two of the good ones."

"Thank you. We are glad to be of service." Sectonia said with a bow.

"These two, Inoko and Sectonia! I'm gonna train them like nobody's business!" the matron said. "When I'm done, they'll be on the caliber of Kyogoku's Warabihime and Tokito's Koeinatsu!"

"Though Inoko seems a little heavy." one of the girls said.

"Nothing wrong with a girl with a little heft." the matron said.

"Oh, yes. She's quite a fighter. I assure you, if you need some muscle, she's the girl for the job." Sectonia said.


Meanwhile at Kyogoku house…

Gemini nervously sat beside Zenitsu, who was playing the Shamisen. She couldn't help but think she was right next to a raging storm as Zentisu furiously played, anger and jealousy over Tengen all over his face.

"That Zenko sure can play the Shamisen." one of the matrons said. "I sort of understand her partner's nervousness."

"Yes…her shamisen speaks for her. She intends to get revenge on the man who abandoned her and her partner." another of them said.

"(I hope I can survive….)" Gemini said. "(Mr. Uzui basically dropped us off here. I don't really have anything against the guy, but Zenitsu's blowing up like a stack of dynamite! Hope, everyone, if I don't come back from this, please forgive me!)"

Zenitsu continued to play like there was no tomorrow, harboring a look of absolute rage.

"(I'm gonna make that jerk pay for this! Just you wait! I'll be the number one oiran in Yoshiwara!)" Zenitsu thought.


At House Tokito…

Tanjiro, or rather Sumiko, worked on sewing up some robes.

"Sumiko, could you help us with some things?" one of the girls asked.

"Sure." Tanjiro said.

"You've been a big help. Though we can't help but feel responsible since we removed your makeup and showed that scar." another of them said.

"It's fine. I'm just glad they let me stay." Tanjiro said as he carried off a number of boxes.

"The new girl is rather burly, wouldn't you say?" one asked. "Her partners Marko and Daviko are the same."

"Y-yes. I take quite a lot of pride in my body." David said, raising his pitch to seem more feminine.

"Yeah…uh…we're…the best at this." Mark said doing the same as the two returned to their room. "Ugh…I feel so humiliated."

"I know. I bet you the others back on the ship are laughing their heads off about this." David said.

"I know a few definitely are…" Mark sighed. "That's not even the worst part, though. It's taking all my mental fortitude to not freak the heck out just being in this district. Man, I hope we can find a lead soon…"

"Like Sectonia said, let's try to relax. We probably won't have to keep this act up for long. Though, I am getting a bit hot under this. Big mistake wearing my motorcycle gear under this, I just realized." David said.

"Hmm…Actually, I did hear some info." Mark said. "I heard that before we came here, the madam of house Kyogoku died from falling from a window."

"Kyogoku? That's the one Zenitsu and Gemini have, right? Oh, I hope that place isn't haunted." David said.

"I also heard some of the older girls are committing something called…Ashenuke. What is that?" Mark said.

"Um… Do you want the short version?" David asked. "Basically… They go runaway bride and run off with their patron."

"Oh… y'know, that would be the perfect cover-up for a missing girl." Mark said. "Any demon here would have almost total freedom to abduct them. I heard one of the girls was named Suma…isn't she one of that ninja's wives?"

"Yeah, I think so." David said.

"There's no way she would run off." Mark said, his expression being troubled. "Which means the only reason she stopped checking in is that the demon discovered her. Wouldn't be surprised if the demon found all three of them."

"That is definitely a possibility. We'll just have to keep our eyes peeled for anything strange. Much like Las Vegas, entertainment districts like this are cesspools for desire, and demons can take advantage of that." David said.

"Yeah…they could eat all they want and never get caught." Mark said. "So…let's do our investigation well."


With the others, they were up on the rooftops as Tengen watched from afar.

"Hey, Yuzuriha… there was one other reason I went with the decision to take only you." DW typed.

"Oh, really? What's that?" Yuzuriha asked.

"If there was a demon hiding out in this place, don't you think it would stand out with so many people around at night?" DW typed. "This place lights up like a christmas tree when the sun goes down. So how can a Demon avoid detection like it's nothing? Whoever Tengen's hunting here, they've gotta be really good at disguising themselves as a human. Which means we're dealing with a demon that's been around longer than any the guys have taken down so far."

"Wait, so you think…?" Yuzuriha asked.

"Yeah… this demon could be a member of the Upper Moons." DW typed. "I've heard the guys talk about 'em. Apparently they've lived for thousands of years and none of 'em have gotten killed to this day. They're on such a different level, even Demon Slayer Big Shots have trouble with them." he then looked to the group. "And you guys know because you stared one right in the face."

"Yeah, we had an unfortunate run in with Akaza…and he was only third from the top." Hope said.

"And that's why I couldn't take the risk of bringing more." DW said. "I'm the new leader of the team, so it's on me if I mess up and you guys get hurt. I'd sooner actually die before I let you guys get in trouble again. I know it might still sound dumb to you, Yuzu, but I just can't take a risk like that."

"Y'know something?" Yuzuriha asked. "I think you totally made a tough but fair call."

"Yuzuriha's right. Being a leader means being able to make the choices you think are best." Hope said. "You're definitely a leader if you can do that."

"Yeah. But, you can bet I won't be like this when we face down that demon." DW typed. "Countin' on you to have my back, Yuzu."

"Sure, just leave it to big sis." Yuzuriha said.

And so, the mission continues to find Tengen's wives, and the Demon who hides in the shadows of Entertainment. But something else awaits in this city….
