After almost getting lost, Yuko made it to the bath and changed out of her uniform. The ugly scar above her knee was easy to see and she became self conscious of it. With Sanemi it was the farthest thing from her mind, but now with Mitsuri and the others, she was almost ashamed. She took a breath and held her towel close before heading out to join them.
 
Mitsuri saw Yuko approaching and stood with a smile, waving Yuko over. “Yuko over this way!” She already had a rosy complexion from the heat.
 
Yuko smiled and moved over, removing the towel and getting in, "It's so nice to have a relaxing bath for once."
"Hai, it feels like too long!"
 
Mitsuri sat back in the water with a wide smile, nodding in agreement. “The onsen here is like magic too, it’s amazing!”
 
The group sat in the water in bliss, but one by one they all started to leave to go cool off.
 
Mitsuri stayed with Yuko, not wanting to leave her all by herself in the bath. “How does your leg feel, Yuko-chan?”
 
She looked over and made a noise, "Better, but it's still difficult after I've jostled it." She replied gently, "I was thinking about asking Kochou-sama for stronger medicine, but I don't want to rely on them."
 
Mitsuri thought for a moment, finger to her lips. “Maybe you didn’t take enough recovery time..” She mused. “You know you have to heal fully, otherwise your wounds won’t heal properly.”
 
The skin was mended, but perhaps the muscle still needed time, "Perhaps..." She muttered, "I'm trying not to push myself. I'm doing all my therapy and my exercises slowly..."
 
Mitsuri nodded. “Don’t push yourself, no one here will be upset with you, and no matter what you choose, we’ll be here for you!”
 
“You have to make sure you’re doing what’s best for you too, Yuko-chan.” Mitsuri said softly.
 
Mitsuri smiled and stood up. “When you’re done here, come enjoy some food with everyone!” She offered.
 
Yuko sat in the spring for a while longer, thinking about her leg and the prosthetic Botan had mentioned. Maybe that would be best, just completely replace her leg. The healing would take even longer, but that would be fine. After that, she'd be able to fight again. She gave an affirming nod before climbing out and drying off, dressing in the yukata she was given before heading toward the guest house.
 
Everyone was already gathering around a table, setting up to eat the food that was prepared for them and set out on the table.
 
Yuko sat with them happily and enjoyed the food with them, loving the conversation that they all shared.
"Oh, I ran into Muichiro-sama earlier. Did you know he was here, Mitsuri-sama?"
 
“Eh?” Mitsuri blinked and sat up a bit in surprise. “Muichiro-kun?” She made a soft noise. “I didn’t know he was here- I haven’t seen him at all!”
 
She nodded, "Yeah, him and Sanemi-dana's brother, Genya, are both here. Though, Bo-chan told me she was commissioned by Genya...some kind of Western styled weapon! It's really interesting!"
 
“Oh! A Western weapon, I wonder what it looks like~” Mitsuri said, seemingly lost in thought, trying to think of what the weapon could be. “It sure sounds like there are some really lively slayers here, I wonder if I’ll get the chance to see any of them?”
 
Yuko nodded in agreement before hearing that Tanjirou and his sister were in the village from the other kakushi. What were so many Slayers doing here? It couldn't bode well, with so many of them in one area, it could attract the wrong attention.
