Fujimura naturally assumed that Lann and Ah Xiu were actually working together.
After all, he left a letter requesting help at a Demon Exorcist's house, whom he did not know at the time, and then the two came to the village together. Doesn't that explain everything?
How can there be such a coincidence in the world?
So, from Fujimura's perspective, these two were simply checking the situation at Thirteen Cherry Blossom Village first and then came together to thoroughly solve the problem.
Later, Fujimura mused, they are indeed famous Demon Exorcists: meticulous and cautious, no wonder they can deal with demons and evil spirits without problems and flourish for such a long time.

"Really... together, are they?"
For some reason, Fujimura felt like he heard a hint of wistfulness in the voice of this hard and brave, model-of-our-kind man.
But for the sake of his own life, Fujimura dared not delay or hesitate.
