Hot Springs DOCKING

Hello and welcome to my second experimental fanfic of Demon Slayer fanfiction, in which a new inspiration popped into my head in an unexpected way, which led to the creation of a new story…which would mix a combination of COMEDY and ECCHI.
This fic came about after reading an advertisement on Twitter about an announcement of a third season anime being planned that was based on the Swordsmith Village arc, which drew some controversy about a female character having a NUDE BATH SCENE.
Although I didn't pay much attention since I was focused on other current anime series like My Hero Academia and Mieruko-Chan, I recalled having heard of the POSITIVE WORD OF MOUTH comments about the first season that aired way back in 2019, and out of curiosity after reading the Twitter advertisement about the NEGATIVE comments about a certain female character involved in the bath scene, I decided to check it out via Wikipedia and learned of the manga and anime plot as well as the characters involved, which in turn slowly piqued my interest.
And while I started watching the first few episodes of the anime, I find it quite interesting and am thinking of making a fanfiction, and while my first Demon Slayer fic, Demon Slayers And Stamps is ongoing, I thought of making another one as a way to see what type of story I could cook up with, and recalling the source of the inspiration, specifically the CONTROVERSIAL BATH SCENE, I checked the Demon Slayer manga online and checked it out.
After reading the Entertainment District arc and the first part of the Swordsmith Village arc, an idea popped into my head as I decided to try out an experiment which would involve Tanjiro and Mitsuri, as I find the latter somewhat attractive and that's where the story is set upped.
This fic will be M-rated because of OBVIOUS REASONS, as well as to see if this NON-CANON pairing would be received or not…
Well then, read on and enjoy!
Ch. 1: Ecchi ni sōgū suru made purejūdo
The scene shows that some members of the Demon Slayer Corps are recuperating at the Butterfly Mansion following a situation that took place at Yoshiwara, which resulted in some members getting beaten up, which also include Tanjiro Kamado.
A few Kakushi happened to be making some rounds and commented that the recent events must be hard for the Demon Slayer Corps members who got beaten up, especially a certain someone who took the worst beating and is currently out with a coma. They wondered if that certain someone would eventually wake up, though one of them is positive that this particular corps member will recover.
"So…is the one…"
"Yup…he's still out cold…"
"Until now…?"
"That's not good…"
"What do you expect? He got the worst beating…"
"Yeah…"
"Think he'll wake up…?"
"Who knows…"
The next scene shows that a Kakushi named Goto is seen walking down the halls of the Butterfly Mansion. As he walks through the corridor, he reveals that two months have passed since the end of the battle at Yoshiwara, Tokyo and remembers how badly the swordsmen were injured, specifically Tanjiro Kamado. He brings a plate of castella with him, hoping the smell might help wake up Tanjiro from his two-month coma.
When he walks into the room, he discovers a shattered vase on the floor and is quietly infuriated. He announces that he has brought a dessert and asks Kanao Tsuyuri to clear a space so he can set it down. Tanjiro weakly thanks Goto for the dessert as Kanao observes him. Goto stands silently over Tanjiro's bed and loses his grip of the plate. After a moment's hesitation, he angrily bursts out at Kanao for not saying a word about Tanjiro regaining consciousness, insubordinately berating Kanao in a comical manner.
"You idiot!"
"Eep!"
"So he has already been up?"
"Uh…"
"Why didn't you tell us sooner?"
"S-sorry…I..."
"I've been worried and now…"
"S-sorry…"
The Kakushi continue to rant onto Kanao for a few more seconds before going into the hall to alert Kiyo, Sumi, Naho, and Aoi. There the Kakushi told them about Tanjiro regaining consciousness, which made the girls elicit varied responses, as they are shown to be worried for the younger boy's well-being after he has been unconscious for several weeks.
"What?"
"What?"
"What?"
"Yeah…the kid woke up…"
"He is?"
"He is?"
"He is?"
"Yes…he is…"
Soon after, the young girls went to the room for confirmation, and they shed tears of joy after discovering that he had awakened, but are then immediately frightened when Aoi comes crashing into the room after having gotten caught in the laundry.
After untangling herself, she begins to sob at his bedside. Tanjiro inquires on the status of his comrades, finding out that Zenitsu had awoken the day after the battle and had just left, screaming and crying, before going on a job. Tengen, the Sound Hashira, left after the battle with his wives despite his terrible injuries, with his toughness scaring the Kakushi.
Inosuke comically appeared via the ceiling and bragged that he was the first to regain consciousness before Tanjiro, which the Kakushi began reprimanding him, resulting in a rather loud bickering which the sounds would surely escape the room.
Things got CHAOTIC due to various circumstances until Kanao screamed and told them to pipe down as Tanjiro went back into slumber, causing Inosuke and the three girls to mumble apologetically for the disturbance as Kanao is seen glaring at them.
"Sorry…"
"Sorry…"
"Sorry…"
"Now behave yourselves and stop that ruckus!"
"Okay…"
"Okay…"
"Okay…"
"Hmph."
-x-
Seven days have passed and the situation at the Butterfly Mansion went on without problems or incident, and the scene shows that Tanjiro made a full recovery and regained most of his strength, which a Kakushi commented that Tanjiro is good to go and told him to be more careful from hereon.
"Okay…you may be in full health but you can't go out recklessly…"
"Yeah…"
"Remember…you just recovered…so don't act like you're a Son Goku or something…"
"Okay."
"And right now you need to strengthen your stamina as things are going to get tougher from this point on."
"Right."
"That's good to hear."
"Yeah."
He told the younger boy that Inosuke left earlier than expected and is embarking on a new job. Tanjiro decided to make use of his remaining stay and decided to try strengthening his stamina, which the Kakushi cautions him not to strain himself but the younger boy assured that he will be okay.
"Don't worry. I'll be careful."
"Okay…you know this…just because you can move now doesn't mean that you're 100 percent…you might look like you have recovered but you can't act recklessly…"
"Yeah…"
"Remember…you are still recovering…so don't act like you're a Son Goku or something akin to One Punch Man…"
"Okay."
"And right now you need to strengthen your stamina as things are going to get tougher from this point on. Believe me…you are lucky to be alive…"
"Right."
"That's good to hear."
As Tanjiro works on improving his weakened state, he asks Kiyo and Naho about his new sword, as he needed one more than ever, causing the girls to glance at each other and are hesitant to inform him that Hotaru had only sent letters thus far, and they show him the angry scrawlings of hate which clearly depict that the swordsmith would not make Tanjiro another sword.
"Is that…?"
"Yeah…"
"…"
"He is pissed off…"
"No way…"
"Sorry, Tanjiro…"
"This is bad…"
"…"
"…"
Seeing this made Tanjiro distraught, as he is now weaponless and had to think of something, but he felt that he is facing an uphill battle, which means it would take a while before he gets another chance at taking down Muzan and put a stop to his evil deeds once and for all, but because of his current predicament, he felt like losing his confidence, which Kiyo attempted to assure to him that everything will be okay.
"Tanjiro…"
"…"
"Its okay…"
"…"
"Cheer up…"
"…"
"Everything will be okay…"
"…"
By then Kiyo tries to uplift Tanjiro's morale by saying that Hotaru is being the difficult one, and he should try to meet him at the Swordsmith Village to discuss the situation in person.
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"Then…"
"If you talk to him in person I'm sure you two can sort things out."
"I…don't know…"
"It'll be okay."
"Really?"
"Really."
After a few minutes of discussion, in which his confidence and morale was restored, a pumped-up Tanjiro eagerly requests permission to visit the village, which Kagaya allows, however, Tanjiro is told of the situation in which that Tanjiro's travel must be kept under wraps to make sure that there won't be any untoward incidents and to protect everyone from Muzan's unprovoked ambush attempts.
"Seriously?"
"Yeah. Seriously."
"…"
"Sorry, but this is for your own protection if you want to venture outside."
"I…understand…"
"Good."
"…"
"Now then…"
After that, Kagaya sends a Kakushi to escort Tanjiro and she informs him that in order to keep the village safely hidden, Tanjiro must be carried there and will need to put on a blindfold, earplugs, and nose plugs, in which the younger boy nodded as he understood why this is needed, and a few moments later he left the Butterfly Mansion and head for the Swordsmith Village.
Kanao and the others watch Tanjiro leave, and the rest are wondering if he would be okay given that he has no weapons at the moment yet Kanao is confident that he will be okay since he is following Kagaya's instructions, which the others nodded in agreement.
"Really?"
"Really?"
"Really?"
"Yes. Tanjiro will be fine. I'm sure of it."
"Okay…"
"Okay…"
"Okay…"
"Good."
-x-
An undetermined amount of time passes, and so far Tanjiro is traveling safely and hasn't encountered any trouble, mainly because he followed Kagaya's instructions, hence he was able to travel without worrying about any enemy ambush, and throughout the journey, Tanjiro is frequently passed onto a new Kakushi, while the crows are also swapped in an effort to maintain the location's secrecy.
The Kakushi told Tanjiro to be a bit patient, saying that their destination is just moments away, which the younger boy nodded and said that he is fine and appreciate what he did, and the Kakushi nodded, seeing that Tanjiro is taking things in stride, as he reminded the younger boy of the current situation.
"Remember what we were instructed to do…"
"Yeah…"
"And we must strictly do this."
"Yeah."
"And as long as we do this…we will reach our destination soon."
"Okay."
"Now sit tight."
"Okay…"
After another undetermined amount of time passes, both the Kakushi and Tanjiro arrived at the village, and the latter is amazed by the scents of the hot springs. It was an amazing sight that he finally took off his nose plugs and other items from his body, showing off his innocent nature such as excitement and the like, which the Kakushi sweat-dropped at seeing Tanjiro acting like a hyperactive child.
"Oh wow!"
"…"
"This place looks good!"
"…"
"And it's my first time coming to such a place!"
"…"
"Glad I came here!"
"…"
As a still-excited Tanjiro loudly shares his gratitude towards the Kakushi for transporting him here, in which his voice echoes loudly throughout the hot springs. The Kakushi sighed and told the younger boy to calm down , reasoning that his antics might disturb other people here, which, to his utter dismay, was ignored.
As the Kakushi said rings true, for Tanjiro's outburst of amazement and excitement is eventually heard by another customer of the hot springs, and the scene shows who it is, revealing the person to be a female, who turns out to be the Love Hashira, Mitsuri Kanroji, who is bathing in a nearby spring, and is FULLY NAKED, as you can see that her breasts and SHAVED WOMANHOOD exposed to prying eyes.
"Hmm…a sound of a boy…must be my lucky night…"
To Be Continued...
Hope you liked this chapter, as it retells the events of chapters 99 to 101 of the manga, specifically set between the end of the District arc and the beginning of the Swordsmith arc, though his arrival at the hot springs would set the events of this fanfic's plot, things ended up in a cliffhanger…but more of that will be tackled in the next chapters…
