Uzui jumped from roof top to roof top before landing on the ground walking through a empty section of the Entertainment District 

He looked around a corner and ran off past a window where he glanced at odd fabric inside holding Hinatsuru hostage

Tengen: (Hinatsuru!)

After saving her he gave her an antidote 

Hinatsuru: Forgive me, Lord Tengen.

Tengen: Never mind. Stop talking. 

Hinatsuru: I realized that Warabihime Oiran was a demon, but she became suspicious of me, as well. So I drank some poison and tried to slip out. But it seems this belt I was given by Warabihime Oiran was for spying on and killing me. So I was unable to contact you.

She started crying slowly

Hinatsuru: Lord Tengen, do not trouble yourself with me. Please go now. You heard that sound just now, did you not? The demon is on a rampage.

Tengen: You're sure you're going to be all right?

Hinatsuru: Yes. I am sorry I couldn't be of any use to you.

Tengen: There's no need for you to do anything anymore.

He hugged her tighter

Tengen: Once the antidote starts working, leave Yoshiwara. You hear me?

More tears started forming in her eyes

Hinatsuru: Yes.

Now he was running across the roof tops again in search of the demon who hurt his wives

Tengen: (The battle has already begun. Where is it? Search for a presence.)

He suddenly heard something and stopped and jumped towards it landing back on the ground

Tengen: (Its here. Underground!)

He put his ear to the ground and listened hearing metal clashing and hitting other metal

Tengen: (I can hear the sound of someone battling. I can hear it well thanks to the reverberations. There's something here!)

He grabbed his swords and the wrappings around them fell off as he prepared

Tengen: (First Form: Roar!)

He swung down at the ground causing a huge explosion

"Upper Six"

The demon Zane and Tanjiro were fighting heard it as well 

Six: What an infernal racket, you piece of trash! What is that sound? What are you doing? Where?

In front of her was Zane who held his sword next to his head pointing it at her

Six: From the Ogimoto House? And also Hinatsuru...

She turned her attention back to the slayer 

Six: How many of you are there? Five?

Zane: I'd worry more about the ones in front of you!

She giggled 

Six: If you tell me the truth, I'd be willing to spare you life. We clashed for maybe an instant but, look at your sword! Its already nicked.

She pointed at him and he looked at his sword and saw the nicks she was talking about

Six: Some hack of a swordsmith must've forged that blade, am I right?

Zane: You're wrong! 

He swung his blade down 

Zane: The one who forged this blade is amazing and overly passionate at what he does! He's a brilliant swordsmith! Don't insult him!
