in various places

Hoshi and kage were already in their uniforms.

"He's late! The sun is setting but he hasn't come! That fool! Soichiro! I'm done waiting! I'll settle things by myself!"

"Inosuke wa-"

Inosuke had jumped up to the roof of the room…

And stayed there.

"He just…"

Kage was laughing his guts out

"MICE! BRING US OUR SWORDS!" Inosuke yelled from the roof.

"I'm shocked there's no blood dripping-" Hoshi muttered.

Then inosuke jumped down from the roof and gave kage and hoshi their blades-

Well-

More like threw them at them.

Then he changed back to his regular half naked self.

With a boar mask

"WE'RE GOING DEMON SLAYIN'! HEADLONG RUSH!" Inosuke yelled as the three of them hurried out.

…

Kuki, Tanjiro, and taiyo ran back to house tokito to find…

"more demon slayer children? You returned, eh? How many of you are there? There's that ugly kid with yellow hair...that strange hashira girl, and that girl with a butterfly clip...did another hashira come? Will one come soon? You're too weak to be a hashira. I have no use for any demon slayer less than a hashira, you know? I couldn't eat anything so old and dirty"

The demon had koinatsu trapped in her obi

Only half of her head was visible at the moment.

"LET HER GO!!" taiyo yelled

Then the demon stared at him.

"Who do you think you're talking to?!"

Then the demon's obi threw the three boys to the roof of the next house.

She's fast!

I didn't even see her move!

She's…

An upper rank demon!

Why are my limbs…

So weak…?

I MUST STAY CALM

I'm not paralyzed…

I can still move.

It isn't fear that's sapping my strength.

I just landed hard on my back, and that momentarily stunned me.

She's an upper rank demon!

That obi is her weapon…

It must have a special power!

I bet it can swallow people whole.

What if she can hide inside it too?

Then it could move around by itself!

It's just a piece of cloth.

It could carry her behind walls and through cracks--

Anywhere she wants to go!

Kuki stood up to help taiyo and tanjiro up.

"You're still alive? Hmm… you're tougher than I thought. You have good eyes. They're pretty. So I'll just go pluck them out and eat them!" the demon said to kuki.

Then kuki looked at tanjiro.

Nezuko's box had a broken strap, but the box itself wasn't broken.

"I'm sorry Nezuko. The shoulder strap broke. I can't fight and carry you. I have to leave you here. Unless your own life is in danger, don't come out of the box!" tanjiro said

Taiyo jumped up

Breath of mercury: first form: Molten core!

The demon jumped up to attack taiyo.

It ultimately failed since taiyo cut off a piece of her obi.

The piece that had koinatsu trapped in.

"You're cute, but you make me sick. A bit like a dying rat. I like you"
