In the taisho era, a young girl named Rimuru, encountered a powerful demon but managed to escape at the cost of the lives of those she calls family, and was taken in and adopted by a kindhearted family of charcoal makers.
One day, while helping her...
After Rimuru went to check on Zenitsu, she took advantage of Daki being busy fulfilling the duties of the oiran and went to confront the owner.
She reached the room where the owner was in and knocked.
Owner: What is it?
Rimuru: It's Shizue. There's something i wish to speak to you about
Owner: ...Come in
Rimuru opened the door and saw the owner holding a haori.
Rimuru sat in front of the owner.
Owner: What is it? Do you wish to speak to me about?
Rimuru explained who she and Zenitsu really are and that they are looking for Hinatsuru, who was sent to infiltrate the kyogoku house, to search for the whereabouts of a demon responsible for many disappearances.
Owner: So... You're a demon slayer?
Rimuru: *nod*
Owner: If you want to know where Hinatsuru is, she was sent to the kirimise. She fell ill, and so we sent her there she could recover
Rimuru: I see, then will you trust me when I say that Zenko and I, along with our allies, to kill the demon
Owner: *nod* Yes
Rimuru stood up and was about to leave the room but stopped.
Rimuru: Oh, before I forget, i should tell you that your wife is safe
Owner: i-is she really? Is she okay?
Rimuru: She is, I took her to somewhere safe after the demon had tried to silence her
The owner shed tears and bowed to Rimuru.
Owner: Thank you... I was worried when my wife suddenly vanished
Rimuru: It's fine. However, I do need you to do me a favor and pretend this never happened. We want to catch this demon by surprise, and it's also for you and your wife's safety
The owner got up and looked at Rimuru in the eyes.
Owner: Of course, I can assure you that my lips are sealed
Afterward, Rimuru left the owner's room and continued as if nothing had happened.
The next day, Tanjiro and Inosuke are waiting at the rooftop for Rimuru and Zenitsu, not knowing that Zenitsu had been taken.
Inosuke: I TOLD YOU! THERE'S A DEMON AT MY HOUSE!
Tanjiro: Really?
Inosuke: I'm telling you it looked like this! You know what I mean, like this!
Inosuke made all kinds of poses, which confused Tanjiro even more than Inosuke's explination.
Tanjiro: Yeah, I totally believe you. Just hod on a second
Inosuke brought both his hands together and started wiggling his fingers.
