Righty and Lefty left Tecchin's home and walked outside.
"Where's Tanjiro?" Righty asked.
"Beats me." Lefty shrugged. He turned around and looked at a bush. "Hey, did you see where Tanjiro Kamado went?"
"How did you-" A kakushi that had been tailing them with a knife popped out.
"The kakushis in the corp always do this." Lefty explained.
"Darn... Well, I saw him go to the hot spring." The kakushi said and disappeared into the bushes again.
"Thank you very much!" Righty thanked the kakushi, even though he was already gone.
----------
Lefty and Righty strode down the walkway that led to the hot spring the air slowly got more and more humid until it was thick with steam. They turned a corner and were met with the how spring. Tanjiro and Nezuko were frolicking in the steaming water.
"Hey Tanjiro!" Righty greeted.
"Hey Righty! Lefty! Come in, come in!" Tanjiro beckoned them to come into the water. They ran over and hopped into the hot spring, still fully clothed. "Hey-wait! Don' you have to take your clothes off!?" Tanjiro said frantically.
"Nah. These clothes are just for show. This is actually our skin." Lefty pulled hard on his clothing and it tore like Kabarunaru(obanai's snake)'s shed skin.
"...Oh..." Tanjiro said, unsettled by the knowledge that they were wearing skinsuits.
"So, how're ya feeling about this place?" Righty paddled up to Tanjiro and asked.
"Oh, I've really liked it! Did you know Shinazugawa Genya and Kanroji Mitsuri are here?" Tanjiro said.
"Oh, really? That's super cool!" Righty laughed.
While Righty and Tanjiro were chatting, Nezuko played with a shrynken down lefty. She swung him around like a toy and dunked him in the water over and over as he let out high pitched screams.
"Hey- Nezuko!" After a few minutes, Tanjiro noticed what was happening and went to pry Lefty out of Nezuko' hands. Lefty scrambled out of the water and grew to his normal size.
"WHY DOES SHE KEEP DOING THAT?" Lefty screamed. "I'm outa here." Lefty turned to the trail and went to leave.
"Wait, we'll go together!" Tanjiro called out for Lefty, who stopped.
----------
Lefty and Righty were outside of the bathhouse next to the hot spring, waiting for Tanjiro and Nezuko to dry off and put their clothes on. A few minutes later, Tanjiro and Nezuko emerged from the bathhouse, fully clothed and ready to go.
"So, how are you two going get the water off your clothes? You're still dripping wet." Tanjiro asked the demon brothers, who were still drenched in water.
"It's pretty simple." Lefty said and took in a deep breath. His entire body glowed orange and the water covering him boiled off instantly. Righty did the same.
"Hm!" Nesuko shrunk down and hopped onto Lefty's back. She climed up and positioned herself on his shoulders. She wrapped her legs around Lefty's neck and she gripped his hair withe her hands.
"Uh, Tanjiro?" Lefty tudned to Tanjiro.
"It's fine. She just wants a piggyback ride." Tanjiro said and chuckled.
"Whatever..." Lefty sighed.
They all grouped together and began their walk to the place the dinner was being held.
As they walked, a cold wind blew by. The wind hit Nezuko's still moist skin, making her lower her head and shiver.
"You okay, Nezuko?" Righty asked the tiny demon, concerned.
"Nezuko!" Tanjiro reached for her. Up on Lefty' head, she was more exposed to the wind.
"Hold on, Tanjiro." Lefty stopped Tanjiro and took in a deep breath. He focused and heated his head and shoulders. Making sure not to make it too hot.
"Hm? Hm!" Nezuko was overjoyed at the wave of warmth Lefty's head emitted. She warpped her arms asound his head and pulled herself closer. She closed her eyes and buried her face in his hair.
"Nasty. You're gonna get your drool all up in there." Lefty growled.
----------
"Amazing!"
"You Realky think so?"
They had arrived at the building they were going to eat in. They had all sat down with the Love Pillar, Mitsuri Kanroji, and were chatting at the dinner table. Tanjiro was currently talking with Mitsuri.
"I didn't eat that much today." Mitsuri said, despite having a mountain of dishes on her part of the table.
"I'm gonna eat a lot today and get stronger!" Tanjiro said through a mouthful of rice. He swallowed quickly and added. "Oh. And the guy you met earlier was Shinazugawa Genya, he was from my batch." Tanjiro explained.
"Oh! Is that so... Oh, I remember now! He told me he was Shinazugawa Sanemi's brother! I think they started to get along." Mitsuri remembered Genya. "Say, didn't you two help with that?" Mitsuri turned to Lefty and Righty.
"Eh?" Lefty stopped drinking from his blood cup and looked up and Mitsuri.
"Well, thanks to the demon training you've been giving him, he had a lot more time to stay with his brother, right? You boys probably helped them come together again." Mitsuri said.
"Oh... Well, I didn't think of it that way." Righty said.
"Huh... You're probably right." Lefty muttered.
"He still hasn't come here..." Tanjiro sighed.
"He's a shy boy, that's all there is to it." Lefty commented.
"I know, I'll bring him the leftovers!" Tanjiro said and grabbed a box.
"That's a wonderul idea!" Mitsuri smiled.
"I'l help you with that." Righty reached for another box and hrabbed more food for Genya. They left together and walked down the hall to Genya's room. Mitsuri hummed a song and held Nezuko's hand as they walked.
On the way there, they continued talking.
"Kanroji-san, why did you join the demon slayers?" Tanjiro askd the Love Pillar.
"Oh..." Mitsuri paused as a rush of pink grew over her cheeks. "Well..." The pink turned to red. "I joined so I could find a gentlemen to marry me for life!" She blurted with a hot blush on her face. She held her cheeks with embarrassment.
Tanjiro and Righty: Girls like men who are stronger than themselves, right? That must be what she'talking about. Girls wanted to be protected by them. right? Is it to hard for me to understand because I'm a man?
Lefty: How the fuck is Obanai not with her yet? I'm positive he meets her criteria. Hell, I think every pillar besides Shinobu is stronger than her. Hell, I meet that criteria-
Wait, I meet that criteria. I got a chance! Not my fault if Obanai doesn't shoot his shot!
Obanai, back in the corp: I sense a disturbance in the force...
Lefty: Hold on, I would never do my boy Onanai dirty like that!
Obanai, back in the corp: The disturbance disapearred... guess it was my imagination.
"Genya-kun isn't here..." Lefty had been caught up in his thoughts, and they had already reached Genya's room. Though the demonish man wasn't there.
"Leave him the food, he should be back later." Righty grabbed a box and layed it out in the center of the room.
"Kanroji-sama." They turned aroud to be met with a Kakushi. "Your sword will be done soon. We would like you to come to the workshop so we can make our final adjustments." The kakushi explained.
"Awwwww... Looks like I have to go..." Mitsuri said dissapointedly.
"Don't worry about it, we'll you off." Righty smiled.
"It's fine. I'll probably leave in the dead of night." Mitsuri expkained.
"No... But... Well, Okay then..." Tanjiro was saddened by her words.
"I don't know if we'll all be able to see eatchother alive next time. But let's just do our best." Mitsuri began. "You boys survived a battle with an upper moon. That experience is equal to years of training. You four are definetely a lot stronger than when I last saw you." She patted Nezuko's head. "Mitsuri Kanroji supports all of you!" She said happily.
In that moment, Lefty, Righty, and Tanjiro all took a breath at the same time.
"But I still got a ways to go. And I only won because of the help of Uzui and my friends. I'll work harder than ever, so I can beat Muzan kibutsuji!" Though they didn't notice, Tanjiro, Righty and Lefty said it all in unison. At the sight of their speach, Kanroji lit up with joy.
"You boys will stay here a bit longer, yes?" Mitsuri asked.
"Yea, for now." Tanjiro answered.
"For a little while, yes." Lefty added.
She leaned in close to them. "I hear there' a secret weapon hidden here that makes you stronger..." She whispered to them. "Later!" She stepped back and waved goodbye to them.
"Bye, Ms. Kanroji!" Righty waved.
"Bye!" Tanjiro waved with him.
...
...
...
"Man, she's nice. Right Lefty?" Righty turned to Lefty.
"Yea. I'd say that- hold on she's coming back." Lefty stopped mid sentence when he saw her turn the corner and come running at them. She flew forward and barelled into them, wrapping the four of them in a hug. Lefty, in particular, had his face shoved into her breasts.
"I'm gonna miss you guys!" She said and hugged them tighter.
"Kanroji-Sama, we'll be late soon." The kakushi said worriedly.
"Oh, okay! Bye boys!" Kanroji let the go and left, for sure this time.
...
...
...
"She really is that nice." Righty muttered. "You know, we should probably talk to Genya about how his training will go down now that we're two people, right Lefty?" Righty asked.
No answer.
"Lefty?" Righty turned to Lefty to see him with his eyes closed and his face beet red. His face had a look of pure bliss.
"They were so heavenly..." Lefty whispered. Reffering to Mitsuri's breasts.
Righty: Bruh.
Obanai in the corp: There' that disturbance again!
