 "WHAT THE HELL?" Inosuke muttered as he landed on the ground, cracking his shoulders to put his joints back in place.

"Some kind of cloth with a human pattern?" he analyzes as he gazes up at the unusual thing he saw above him. "What is this?"

He began to walk forward, looking at the different humans 'patterned' onto the fabric.

"No... that's not just a pattern," he says. "Those are living humans. So this demon is able to trap humans inside of a woman's belt, huh?"

Inosuke stopped as he heard a clattering sound below him, and looked down to where he had stepped.

"Tch. Then it takes them whenever it wants and devours them? Pretty brutal if you ask me."

His attention was then caught by a bright yellow color in the corner of his eye, and he casually sauntered over to its source. There, he saw Zenitsu asleep within the belt.

"What's he doing here?" he frowns, unamused.

"That's a question I should be asking you." a bold voice echoes through the chamber.

Inosuke turns around, taken by surprise.

"How would you like it if someone started messing with your food?" the same voice asks as a pink patterned belt, probably the end of the one hanging from the walls, slithered towards the boy.

"Dirty man. You reek of filth! Disgusting." it says, facing Inosuke and revealing a pair of terracotta eyes along with pursed lips. "Repulsive. You damn stinkbug!"

"Look who's talking, 'ya worm!" Inosuke retorts. "Gross!"

"You dare insult me, stinkbug?!" the belt yells, before flying towards Inosuke in an attempt to slash him.

Inosuke easily leaps up and slices the belt to pieces, taking care to cut people away from its imprisonment.

"You are really grossing me out, Worm Belt!" he snaps, laughing as he continued to slash at the belt. "Look how sluggish you are! You got greedy and swallowed up too many humans! There's no way an attack from an overweight worm could ever hope to land on Lord Inosuke! So lose some weight, and don't come back till you have!"

Multiple people fall from the belt as it is cut, landing on the floor unconscious.

'Damn it. He managed to slice me without touching the humans! After I went to the trouble of storing all that fresh food, too!' the belt thinks. 'His intuition seems to be razor-sharp, and his ability to detect murderous intent is exceptional! It's so precise that he can detect attacks from any direction and dodge them effortlessly.'
