Hello and welcome to my third 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.
As stated in my previous fic, 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 two Demon Slayer fics, Demon Slayers And Stamps and Hot Springs DOCKING are 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 certain parts and information about Mitsuri and Tanjiro on the Demon Slayer wiki site, in which I saw them team up together and are with each other, 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.
Another source of inspiration is the so-called Truth Or Dare game, which suddenly popped into my head, and after reading some information, another set of ideas popped into my head and I decided to try something out and use this as a plot device to have both Tanjiro and Mitsuri GO ALL THE WAY.
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: Risqué gēmu e no purejūdo
The scene shows that some members of the Demon Slayer Corps are recuperating at the Butterfly Mansion following a situation that took place near the Swordsmith Village, which resulted in some members getting beaten up, which also include Tanjiro Kamado, and Mitsuri Kanroji.
It is revealed that Tanjiro, his younger sister Nezuko and Mitsuri got embroiled in a battle as Hatengu, a demon affiliated with the Twelve Kizuki, holding the position of Upper Rank Four, and Gyoko, a demon also affiliated with the Twelve Kizuki with an Upper Rank Five, are threatening to destroy the village.
It was a fierce battle as Genya Shinazugawa and Muichiro Tokito joined the fray and assisted both Tanjiro and Mitsuri in fighting off the two members of the Twelve Kizuki, which wasn't an easy one as the two demons of the Twelve Kizuki wouldn't budge, and it took a lot of effort from the four Demon Slayer Corps members to unleash everything they got, and eventually Hatengu and Gyoko were defeated for good.
As the scene shifts back to Butterfly Mansion, 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 as this resulted in Swordsmith Village being partially damaged and now the place will have to be moved to another secret location.
"So…the Swordsmith Village is moving to another location…"
"Yup…because the demons are now aware of the current position the village is…"
"And if Muzan finds out that two of his pawns are defeated, he would send more demons to wreck havoc…"
"That's not good…"
"What do you expect? Muzan would love to cause damage …"
"Yeah…"
"And the Swordsmith Village decided to transfer location immediately…?"
"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 is aware of what happened recently and he knew that Swordsmith Village having to move to another location is for the best as the residents there would be protected from Muzan's pawns.
As he brings a plate of food with him, hoping the smell might help wake up Tanjiro from his slumber as he was out for the past seven days after a rather fierce battle.
When he walks into the room, he discovers that Tanjiro is already up while hugging his younger sister, and he could hear the younger boy telling Nezuko that she is okay now, as she can walk around at daytime, which revealed that Nezuko is now immune to sunlight as normally demons crumbles and disintegrate when struck by sunlight.
"Nezuko! You're okay!"
"Onii-chan…"
"So you can move around outside during daytime?"
"…"
"When did it happen?"
"I..."
"I've been worried and now…"
"S-sorry…"
The Kakushi continue to watch the two siblings bond, and decided to tell Tanjiro about the current state of affairs, which he nodded, and there the Kakushi tells Tanjiro that he and the other Demon Slayers will spend another few days here so that they can fully recover, whole at the same time he tells the younger boy to make use of the time to enjoy the hot springs as a way to relax.
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"Seriously?"
"That's right. You need to relax a bit…so there…"
"Wow! Thanks!"
"Its fine."
"We appreciate it!"
"…"
Nodding, Tanjiro thanked the Kakushi for the generosity and hospitality as the Kakushi nodded before taking his leave. As the Kakushi left, Mitsuri came and smiled, seeing that Tanjiro is bonding with Nezuko and noted that though the latter is now able to withstand sunlight, she is still the same and she mentally hoped that one day a cure could be found so that Nezuko would return to normal and live a normal life along with her elder brother.
She then joined the Kamado siblings and played with Nezuko as she asked Tanjiro how he is doing, which he said that he is feeling a little better now that Nezuko can walk around during daytime, and he felt that this is a good sign that there is hope that she would become a normal person again.
"I'm pretty sure…Nezuko will one day be normal again!"
"Really?"
"Yeah!"
"That's good to hear."
"Now I feel really better…!"
"You sure are in high spirits…"
"Of course! There is hope for Nezuko after all!"
"You got that right…"
Nodding, Mitsuri smiled as she continue to play with Nezuko as Tanjiro watches on, and there Mitsuri said that once she fully recover, she will train herself harder to improve her breathing techniques so that she can get stronger and inflict heavier damage on the demons and that would make things easier.
Tanjiro nodded and said that he is also thinking about the same thing as he wanted the demon invasion to end and put a stop to Muzan's diabolical intentions so that no one else will suffer from this, and both teens stared at each other, seeing that they share the same dream of restoring peace in Japan.
"Looks like we got the same motivation after all…"
"I guess…"
"Then get better so you can start training and get stronger, Tanjiro."
"You two, Mitsuri."
"Then we are going to get better and stronger through training!"
"Right!"
"If you want…why don't we train together…?"
"Sounds good!"
As the two Demon Slayer Corps members glanced at each other, Kanao was watching them as she sensed the comradeship between Tanjiro and Mitsuri, and the scene shifts at the hall where the Kakushi encountered 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 days.
"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 they accidentally tripped and ended up shoving Tanjiro and the younger boy went face-first and landed on Mitsuri's chest, and his face ended up on her cleavage.
Kanao blushed deeply and berated the four girls for their clumsiness and told them to be mindful, which the four girls apologized for what happened, but then the girls blushed deeper as a flustered Tanjiro was blushing furiously after accidentally touching Mitsuri's exposed cleavage with his face and he apologized non-stop, which Mitsuri assured to him that nothing bad happened.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
"Uh…Tanjiro…simmer down…"
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
"Its okay. Don't worry about it…nothing bad happened…"
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
"Hold on…I'm not mad…really…it's fine…"
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
"Calm down, Tanjiro…you're acting like a nervous wreck…"
Kanao then berated Kiyo, Sumi, and Naho as she told them that it is their fault for causing an awkward accident, which Aoi face-palmed at the situation, and there the three girls bowed to Tanjiro and apologized for what happened, which he assured to them that it is okay and said that they should forget what happened just now.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
"Uh…it's okay…"
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
"D-don't worry about it…"
As the awkward tension subsided, Shinobu came as she wanted to check on her fellow Demon Slayers and there she asked Aoi how are things here after getting word of the battle within the Swordsmith Village, and there Aoi told Shinobu what happened, as she tells her that Tanjiro and Mitsuri were among the ones defeating two Upper rank members of the Twelve Kizuki.
"Eh? Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"Tanjiro and Mitsuri were among those who took out two members of the Twelve Kizuki?"
"Yes…"
"How…"
"I don't know how…I just got the word…"
"…"
"…"
Shinobu then approached Mitsuri and asked if this is true, which the Love Hashira nodded and said that defeating the two members of the Twelve Kizuki are no easy task and it took a lot of effort to defeat them for good, which Shinobu nodded, seeing that Mitsuri wasn't bluffing, and saw Tanjiro nodding in acknowledgement.
Sighing, Shinobu said that the village chief told her a while ago that Tanjiro and Mitsuri are going to spend a few more days resting here and she tells the two that they should refrain from straining themselves unnecessarily, which Tanjiro and Mitsuri nodded.
Then Aoi smirked as she brought out a bottle of sake, saying that as a way to pass up the time and to raise everyone's morale, she suggested that they play a Truth Or Dare game, which Shinobu stared wide-eyed seeing Aoi holding the bottle of sake and tried to confiscate it while questioning what Aoi is thinking.
"Aoi! What the heck are you doing?"
"Huh?"
"Why do you have a bottle of sake?"
"Oh…a previous customer gave it to me as a gift…"
"Are you sure about that? Explain yourself!"
"Well…you see…it's like this…"
"You better not give me a reason to punish you…"
"I'm telling you the truth! Just let me explain!"
Tanjiro and Mitsuri sweat-dropped as they watched the two girls bicker, as they have no idea that Aoi have a hidden side, while Kanao is a bit wary about what she just found out, and wondered what Aoi is planning when she proposed to play a game like Truth Or Dare.
To Be Continued...
Hope you liked this chapter, as the events takes place after Swordsmith Village arc, specifically set between the end of the that arc and before the beginning of the Hashira Training arc, though things deviate as Shinobu shows up and discovered that Aoi had a hidden sake that she brought out, while proposing that they play a game of Truth Or Dare, though the chapter ended up in a cliffhanger…but more of that will be tackled in the next chapters…
Preview:
Despite everyone's reservation, Tanjiro and the rest agreed to play the Truth Or Dare game, and that's where things take a WILD turn…
See you in eight weeks…
