“…I think that if there is a demon, it would be our duty to ascertain their motives and ensure that innocents who are visiting this establishment would not be at risk,” Tenko said, as she watched Himari entering the woman’s bath.

Knowing the existence of demons like Chozen and Yanagi meant that Tenko did not think merely because a demon was at an onsen that they were there for nefarious purposes. But it was also true that demons such as Chozen and Yanagi were the exception, not the rule.

That was why the Demon Slayer Corps was for, after all. The protection of the innocents against demons.

Still, it was also true that an escalation might end up endangering the innocent people in the onsen. The demon, who might not be inclined to cause violence initially, might do so the moment they see a Demon Slayer nearby.

She still sensed the demon…no, several demons? In the vicinity, but given that there was no commotion, it seemed likely that no violence had started. So for the time being, it seemed that the demons were content keeping the peace.

She sighed, “…I still think that we should investigate, but I will defer to both Hashira present, for now.”

"Though we should probably launch a formal investigation on this establishment later," she added to Jae-Eun

Tenko then adjusted her ribbon once more, before taking it off, preparing to join Himari in the onsen.
