The two Hidden Ones carrying Chinatsu and Tanjiro ran quickly, but their mission was simply to carry the two to the transfer station. They didn't actually know how to get there. The ones who really guided them were the Kasugai Crows specially trained by the Demon Slayer Corps.
The ravens flew ahead, while Hidden followed behind. However, Hidden was puzzled to find that this time the ravens were very far away from them, as if they were afraid of them. Even when they sped up to get closer, the ravens would only flap their wings faster.
That's really strange.
A puzzled look appeared on Yin's face. He even wondered if the raven disliked him or if he had some strange smell.
It's true that I dislike this, but it's not that I dislike Hidden, but rather that it's Chika who's carrying Hidden. You have to understand that after the Final Selection, every Demon Slayer Corps combat member is equipped with a Kasugai Crow, but Chika is an exception.
However, being carried by a hidden person is a really strange feeling, at least that's what Chinatsu thinks. On the way to the sword-forging village, seven or eight people carried them back and forth. From morning to noon and then to dusk, with each hidden person carrying them, Chinatsu and Tanjiro finally arrived at the gate of the sword-forging village.
The sword-forging village is nestled in some unknown mountain wilderness, with wooden houses built in the style of traditional Japanese architecture. It is hidden by lush trees and is indeed very secluded.
Chinatsu removed her blindfold and earplugs, while Tanjiro removed his blindfold, earplugs, and nose plugs. The moment they were removed, Tanjiro felt as if he had come back to life.
After all, the more sensitive a sense is, the more dependent it is on in life. By suddenly shutting down the three major senses of sight, hearing, and smell, the sense of liberation after being freed is not just a little bit.
"Sister, the smell suggests there's a hot spring here." Tanjiro sniffed the air lightly and instantly detected the scent of a natural hot spring several kilometers away.
Chinatsu and Kakuna, who was standing next to Tanjiro, showed a surprised expression. Then they immediately realized that their decision to stuff Tanjiro's nose with stuffing was the right one. With this level of sense of smell, if he didn't have stuffing in his nose along the way, Kakuna wouldn't be surprised if he found the sword-making village by smell in the future.
"That's right, the sword-forging village does have hot springs that can relieve fatigue. You two can go soak in the hot springs and rest later. Before that, you two..."
Before Yin could finish speaking, they happened to run into Koihashi, who was also regularly repairing his unique Nichirin Blade in the sword-forging village.
"Hey, Chinatsu? And Chinatsu's little brother, what are you doing here too!" Mitsuri waved her arms at Chinatsu and Tanjiro with a grin and said loudly.
"Tanjiro's Nichirin Blade is broken, so we've come here to repair it."
"I see. Tanjiro, you should go register with the village chief. Chinatsu, I'm about to go to the hot springs. Do you want to come with me?" Mitsuri said as she came to Chinatsu's side and hugged one of Chinatsu's arms.
Upon hearing this, Tanjiro immediately said, "Sister, you should go with Mitsuri. It was my sword that broke, so let me take care of the rest."
Seeing Tanjiro's sincere expression, Chinatsu closed her eyes. She really didn't want Tanjiro to be so naive, but then she thought that if Tanjiro wasn't naive, she wouldn't be able to fool him.
It's so contradictory, so incredibly contradictory.
Chinatsu, you are truly sinful!
Chika mentally berated herself, but seeing Chika's silent expression, Miri assumed that Chika had tacitly agreed, so she happily took Chika's hand and walked towards the hot spring pool.
"Over here, over here!"
Mitsuri led Chinatsu toward the hot springs with such speed that Chinatsu hadn't even fully recovered from her guilt toward Tanjiro before she was already at the hot springs.
The hot springs in the forging village are of exceptional quality, possessing a wide variety of medicinal properties, such as for cuts, burns, hemorrhoids, anal fissures, gout, constipation... well, in short, they are very effective.
Since we're already here, we definitely have to experience the hot springs. Even in her previous life, Chika had never experienced a hot spring before. There were no indoor hot springs, let alone outdoor natural hot springs.
After removing her outer clothes, Chika immersed herself in the hot spring. An indescribable sense of comfort surged up from her body. Chika's mind went completely blank with comfort, and she didn't want to think about anything.
A few seconds later, Mitsuri also entered the hot spring. Unlike Chinatsu, she was a regular customer of this hot spring. She exhaled and groaned comfortably, "The hot spring here is really great. Soaking for a few hours makes all the fatigue in my body melt away~"
With her brain completely shut down, Qianxia glanced at Mili indifferently, and that one glance turned her mental lapse into a complete brain freeze.
Wow...so big...
This strong sense of presence...
In that instant, Chika recalled a video she had seen on Bilibili in her previous life by a certain content creator.
[I've calculated Kanroji Mitsuri's body measurements, the first person on Bilibili to do so!]
The video concludes: G!
Chika's mouth opened slightly, as if a wisp of soul flew out of her mouth.
Miki, with her head held high, was completely unaware of Chika's strange behavior beside her. She looked up at the sky and said with a smile, "Chika, you're so pretty, do you have a boyfriend?"
Upon hearing this, Chika immediately stopped talking. She raised one hand to cover her forehead and replied leisurely, "No, but Mitsuri, you should have feelings for the Serpent Pillar, right?"
Upon hearing this, Mili's face instantly turned bright red, and she raised both hands to cover her flushed cheeks.
"Mr. Iguro... ah... is it... is it that obvious?" Mitsuri murmured shyly, her face flushed.
The other members of the Demon Slayer Corps had a vague sense of the relationship between the snake and the lover, with the Stone Pillar being the most perceptive. However, this couple did not live to see a happy ending.
Both were severely injured in their battle against Muzan in the Infinity Castle, and ultimately died in each other's arms.
Thinking of this, Qianxia felt much calmer. She exhaled and looked up at the night sky.
After the Sword Forging Village arc ends, it's almost time for the final battle in the Infinity Castle. You can increase your chances of winning the previous arcs by using the information you have, but Muzan is too powerful, so you have to bring your real strength to face him.
Chika gazed at the beautiful night sky and quietly closed her eyes.
Don't worry, Mitsuri, you will definitely have a happy ending, I promise...
