As for the other members of the Zan'getsu Squad, they returned to the Butterfly Mansion with Ryuji. The Butterfly Mansion had a separate residence specifically for the Zan'getsu Squad, where Ryuji had previously trained them.
Although Kyōjurō and the others lived at the Butterfly Mansion, Ryuji resided with Shinobu Kocho, a considerable distance from the Zan'getsu Squad's residence, ensuring their privacy.
Upon reaching the Butterfly Mansion's gate, Ryuji saw Shinobu Kocho, Aoi Kanzaki, Kiyo, Sumi, and Naho waiting for him.
Shinobu's smile widened upon seeing Ryuji, and she waved, welcoming his return.
Ryuji and the Zan'getsu Squad members approached them.
"Welcome back safely!" Shinobu said with a smile.
Ryuji smiled faintly and nodded at Shinobu, saying nothing.
Kyōjurō and the Murada brothers respectfully greeted Shinobu, "Butterfly-sama!"
"Aoi-chan, Kiyo, Sumi, Naho, please attend to the injured members," Shinobu instructed.
"Yes, Butterfly-sama!" Kiyo, Sumi, and Naho responded immediately, while Aoi Kanzaki, looking troubled, said nothing.
"You two, take Seiichiro and Kenta to their rooms, then return to the Zan'getsu sub-unit to rest.
Kyōjurō, unless you have something to do, you can also rest. Leave the rest to the Murada brothers,"
Ryuji instructed the Zan'getsu Squad.
"Yes, Senior Ryuji!" The Murada brothers replied and followed Kiyo, Sumi, and Naho into the Butterfly Mansion.
Kyōjurō glanced at Ryuji and Shinobu before entering.
Aoi Kanzaki watched Kiyo, Sumi, and Naho lead the Murada brothers away, then looked at Ryuji. Hesitantly, she asked, "Senior Ryuji, where's Tanjiro? Why didn't he come back?"
Aoi Kanzaki's troubled demeanor stemmed from Tanjiro's absence. Their farewell and a month of recovery training had fostered special feelings for Tanjiro.
While waiting with Shinobu, Aoi had worried about Tanjiro. Was he injured again? Severely? Would she get to spend time with him again, as before?
Seeing Tanjiro's absence, Aoi was even more distraught than if he had been injured. She feared he might be dead.
This was the reason for her troubled expression.
Ryuji stroked Aoi's head, teasingly saying, "Aoi-chan has grown up! You have someone you like!"
