The guards searched the area where Ryuji and his companions had vanished for a considerable time before finally giving up and leaving.
"Those guys probably ran off somewhere else!"
"Let's go check other places!"
The sound of their footsteps gradually faded, until they disappeared completely.
After confirming that there was no one else nearby, Ryuji jumped down from the awning.
The others followed one after another. As soon as Zenitsu landed, he pointed at Inosuke and complained, "Inosuke, it's all your fault! We're in this mess because of you! Apologize!"
Inosuke retorted, "Why should I apologize? Besides, why did we run when we saw the guards? We didn't do anything wrong!"
Zenitsu explained, somewhat exasperated, "Because the Demon Slayer Corps isn't officially recognized by the government.
Carrying Nichirin blades around makes us easy targets for the guards. Even if we explain that we hunt demons, they won't believe us."
Tanjiro, after hearing Zenitsu's explanation, grumbled, "We work so hard to slay demons, yet we have to hide like criminals!"
Ryuji responded calmly, "That's just the current situation. There's nothing to complain about."
Zenitsu then suggested, "Ryuji-senpai is right. In any case, we should hide our swords."
"Hahaha~ Better now?"
Inosuke, following Zenitsu's instructions, moved his two Nichirin blades from his waist to his back.
He then turned his back to the group, striking a model-like pose with his hands on his hips.
"You can't see them now, right?" Inosuke said smugly.
Everyone looked at him with a mixture of disbelief and exasperation.
Ryuji said with a headache, "Inosuke, you're the only one who can't see them."
Zenitsu yelled, "It's perfectly obvious, you idiot!"
Tanjiro added, somewhat exasperated, "Inosuke, you need to put your shirt on."
Kujou Hattori confirmed Ryuji's earlier assessment, "Captain Ryuji was right. Not a single member of the first unit is normal."
Seiichiro Sakata questioned incredulously, "I can't believe Captain Ryuji would let such a strange character join the Moonslayers?!"
Kenta Inoue habitually pushed up his glasses and commented, "The method is quite clever, but it doesn't work for someone who isn't wearing a shirt."
Shinichi and Kachi Murata were overcome with laughter at Inosuke's antics, their laughter echoing, "Hu-hu-hu~"
At that moment, the train's powerful whistle blew. The last train to Mugen Train was slowly starting to move along the tracks, gradually accelerating.
Ryuji immediately addressed the group, "The train's leaving! We don't have much time! We need to catch this train! Everyone, let's go!"
With that, Ryuji leaped from the platform and ran towards the accelerating train.
Kujou Hattori followed without hesitation.
Inosuke excitedly yelled, "Don't leave me behind, Earth God! I'll catch up!" and ran after them.
