Bro could have also healed her wounds, I wonder why he didn’t do that.
There's what everyone else said, but also it doesn't seem like she was debilitatingly wounded, so why have her go from wounded one day to perfectly intact the next and possibly mess up whatever cover story she might have said for her injuries at school?

We can clearly see that it's a taxi on pages 13 and 14, we even see what is presumably the driver's left arm on page 13 sitting in the driver's seat. More than anything else in this chapter, I'm curious what the taxi driver thinks about all this. Do their passengers typically push another passenger out of a door with a twenty foot shove, and then transform into giant demons? Or are they freaking out and driving away as this happens? Are they waiting there for someone to pay the fare?

So naturally I decided to see if this was in the web novel, and it is, in fact, in the original. Unsurprisingly, the taxi driver is actually a nameless lesser oni that is just disguised as a human. And there were a number of lesser oni that he all teleported into the air along with the ushioni, I guess the artist just didn't feel like drawing them or wasn't told to add them? This still leaves us with one question, which is, where did the taxi itself come from?

In addition to what others have said, I'd also add that there's certain wisdom in not being too easy, that is, too servile. If you behave like a hero, always helping others even without being asked to, without requiring compensation, then that's what others will always expect from you. If you then got overburdened by it and stop, those you previously helped will feel like you betrayed their expectations. That's obviously unreasonable, but that's how humans behave. So, it's smarter not to volunteer to too much. That's not callousness, it's just how the world works. Physicians aren't treating patients for free, they get their wages to make a living.

That being said, I'm not sure if Iori is following such a principle, but I hope he is. He at least seemed to have some wits previously. It's not like he couldn't help whoever he wanted to, but this time it's about an organisation that's apparently fighting a centuries long war, so it won't be just once or twice, probably.

The problem with knowing Japanese at all is that a lot of weird monster names like "ushi-oni" no longer sound so cool... Literally just "cow" (ushi) "demon" (oni).

This feels like a much better story now that the focus shifted. It's hard getting to this point with some of the arcs they choose.
