While Tanjiro and Kanao were saying their goodbyes, Shinobu and Ryuji were also exchanging farewells on the second floor of the house. Their goodbye, naturally, involved a fair amount of affectionate intimacy.
Ryuji, stroking Shinobu's slender waist, said, "Who knows? Love is unpredictable! Isn't that how things are between us?"
Shinobu playfully retorted, "Are you finished feeling me up? If you are, it's time to go!"
Ryuji pulled his hand away, then pinched Shinobu's nose playfully, teasing, "Who's the one who kept holding onto me, not letting me go?"
Although they hadn't been a couple for very long, they were in the heady stage of new romance and spent a lot of time being affectionate with each other.
Shinobu released Ryuji, stood on tiptoe to kiss him, then thoughtfully tidied his clothes before saying, "Go."
Ryuji didn't say anything more, disappearing in a flash.
Ryuji's success in winning Shinobu's affection wasn't just due to his strength. If he'd been weak, he wouldn't have attracted her attention, and the rest wouldn't have happened.
Meanwhile, outside the Butterfly Mansion, the members of the Moonslayer unit's second team were already waiting for Ryuji.
Naho, Kiyo, and Sumi were also waiting outside, ready to give Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke a final send-off.
Zenitsu complained, "That Tanjiro guy, he's been gone so long! I wonder if he's gotten himself stuck with Kanao or Aoi Kanzaki!"
Zenitsu and Inosuke, already changed back into their usual clothes, headed towards the entrance.
Inosuke ignored Zenitsu; his personality meant he had absolutely no interest in what Zenitsu was saying.
When Zenitsu and Inosuke reached the entrance, Naho, Kiyo, and Sum asked them, "Zenitsu, Inosuke, where's Tanjiro?"
Zenitsu replied casually, "He's still saying goodbye to Kanao and Aoi Kanzaki! Probably can't bear to leave them!"
Inosuke's attention was immediately drawn to three giant gourds that were placed outside the Butterfly Mansion. "What are those giant gourds doing here?"
Naho explained, "It's a final test we've prepared for you. If you can burst these giant gourds, it proves you've truly mastered Total Concentration, Constant. That will put our minds at ease!"
Just then, Kachi Murata greeted Zenitsu and Inosuke, "Zenitsu, Inosuke!"
Zenitsu looked in the direction of the voice and quickly spotted Kachi Murata, but his sharp eyes also noticed Kujou Hattori standing next to him.
In an instant, Zenitsu was completely captivated by Kujou Hattori's perfect, tall figure and her alluring long legs.
Staring intently at Kujou Hattori's stunning form, Zenitsu's nose started bleeding profusely and uncontrollably!
Seeing Zenitsu's reaction, Kachi immediately slapped himself in the face, shaking his head and regretting having greeted Zenitsu.
