Mr. Fang Zheng's comment about Yoshino being afraid of crowded places seemed to have an effect, as they didn't encounter many people along the way. One could even say there were fewer people on the streets than usual.
As for the reason...

They truly were professional wingmen... It seemed this wasn't their first rodeo.
