Inosuke investigates a room he believes to be Makio's, expecting to face a demon, but finds the room disheveled and empty. However, he quickly senses something moving through the ceiling and walls, and starts a pursuit, though to no avail. Meanwhile, in his own House, Zenitsu defends a girl from being scolded by Warabihime, the House's beautiful but intimidating Oiran. Zenitsu recognizes her as a demon but is attacked by her in anger. A few days before the mission, the madam of the house confronts Warabihime, having figured out her identity, but Warabihime kills her by dropping her onto the street from a great height. When Warabihime returns inside, she is greeted by Muzan. Muzan praises the demon, noting her strength and beauty, and addressing her by her demon name Daki: the Upper Rank Six. Later, Zenitsu wakes up, having been taken care of by the girls he had defended, and they thank him for standing his ground. After they leave, Zenitsu is stealthily captured by Daki.
