"Alright, you three." Uzui starts, as the three boys, well, Inosuke starts to eat. "Once you're in the Entertainment District, you should try to seek out my wives. I'll look for any info on the demons."

'Wives?' I mentally ask.

"Where will Miss Sasaki be?" Tanjiro asks, after sipping his tea.

Uzui points to himself. "Don't worry, kid. She'll be with me."

"The question is should I be worried?" I ask.

"This is where you'll mainly be staying, unless you're needed, Feisty." He informs. "I'll be here during the day, but I'll be out during the night to hunt down anything useful. Nothing to worry about at all."

'Exactly. I'll be stuck here with you all day for who knows how long.' I mentally remark.

"This is absolutely ridiculous!" Zenitsu finally pops, smacking the ground. He looked as though he'd been wanting to say something from the start. "You're joking, right?! How dare you order us to waste our time, looking for a bride for you!"

I hold my arm out in front of him, as an effort to attempt to calm him down. "I think he means-"

"Huh?!" Uzui cuts me off. "Since when did I ever ask for something like that?!"

"Shut up!" Zenitsu yells. "I'm not done talking yet! Just because you're unlucky with the ladies, doesn't mean you can use demon slayers, like us, for such a stupid reason!"

"Zenitsu-" I start.

"What are you babbling about, idiot?!" Uzui cuts me off again. "I'm talking about my wives, who have infiltrated the district and are hard at work, gathering intel! I've yet to receive a regular check-in from any of them and I want to make sure they're still safe!"

Zenitsu just stares at him. "I guess that is what a guy like you would fantasize about."

Suddenly, Uzui throws a bunch of letters right at Zenitsu's face, to which he dramatically falls over. "Here's your proof, kid! Now shut up! You're allowed to read them."

Tanjiro begins gathering all the letters, while Inosuke keeps eating all the buns. "There's quite a lot here. She must've be undercover for a long time."

"Oh. Well, I do have three wives." Uzui replies.

'And he finally reveals it.' I mentally remark. 'I guessed wrong though. I thought it was only two.' I quickly look at Zenitsu. 'Oh no...'

Zenitsu immediately sits up. "Did you just say three wives..? Three?! Three wives?! Are you serious?! How?! How could someone like you possibly have three wives?! This has got to be some kind of-"

I hit a certain spot on the back of his neck with the side of my hand, making him slump over onto the floor. I have used this move many times to calm my patients down.

"Now why didn't you do that sooner?" Uzui asks.

I prop Zenitsu up in a corner and join Tanjiro's side this time, grabbing a red bean paste bun from the bowl. "I was trying to tell him what you meant by 'wives' earlier, but you both kept arguing." I take a bite out of the bun. "Please continue."

"Right." He nods and looks specifically at Tanjiro. "Since you've read a few, have you learned anything?"

"I notice that they keep warning you not to stand out when you come." Tanjiro answers.

"I know." Uzui replies. "That's why I'm sending in you three and possibly Feisty here."

"So, what will we be doing exactly?" Tanjiro asks.
