Demon Slayer　（２）

Uzui, Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke infiltrate the Yoshiwara red-light district where demons live in order to find Uzui’s three wives who had infiltrated in advance.
Immediately, Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke also disguised themselves as women and infiltrated each store and began searching.
Warabihime, a popular courtesan at Kyogoku-ya that Zenitsu infiltrated, turns out to be Daki, the sixth-ranked fallen princess among the enemy’s top 12.
Tanjiro clashes with Daki, who appears to attack KoiNatsu, the courtesan of “Tokito-ya”!
Meanwhile, Inosuke follows the demon’s signs and rushes into the demon’s food storehouse where Uzui’s two wives were being held.

Tanjiro, who repeatedly performs Hinokami Kagura against Daki, reaches his limit and collapses.
Then Nezuko, awakened by anger, steps in to help. Nezuko’s awakened power was comparable to that of a first-class demon.
Nezuko, who has become a demon after fighting the fallen princess, tries to attack humans.
She falls asleep to Tanjiro’s lullaby, and Nezuko is able to enter a restorative sleep without eating anyone.
Sound pillar Uzui rushes in and immediately decapitates her fallen princess, but her fallen princess does not collapse.
Her older brother, Giyuutarou, emerges from the fallen princess’s back as she cries as her head is cut off.
The fallen princess and GiyuuTaro are one in the same. Unless both of them were beheaded at the same time, they could not be destroyed.
