Controlling the Butterfly Effect from Demon Slayer

Mitsuri tugged at Horitake, signaling Horitake to turn around. Horitake turned around and looked, and was surprised.

There was a hot spring hotel over there. The store was small but exquisite and elegant. The sign of this hot spring hotel was: Wisteria Flower Bath!

Horitake and Mitsuri looked at each other in surprise.

A hot spring hotel named directly after wisteria, could it be... the Wisteria Flower Family?

The so-called Wisteria Flower Family is the family that the Demon Slayer Corps has helped and rescued for thousands of years. Among these families, there are families who are grateful for the kindness of the Demon Slayer Corps and the Ubuyashiki Clan and are willing to contribute a little to the Demon Slayer Corps' demon-killing business.

These families usually have small industries. The way they help the Demon Slayer Corps is to help the injured Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen recover from their injuries, provide a place to rest and rest, and ensure three meals a day, treatment drugs, etc.

And the most conspicuous sign of this kind of family is to carve wisteria flower patterns on their doorsteps or walls. In order to prevent the invasion of ghosts, they will also plant wisteria flowers in front of and behind their homes.

It can be said that the Wisteria Family is a secret and solid logistical support for the swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps who go out to kill demons.

Horitake and Mitsuri looked at each other and walked over.

Sure enough, this hot spring hotel is not only named after wisteria, but also has wisteria patterns engraved on the door, and the front and back yards are also full of wisteria.

It seems that it is indeed the Wisteria Family, and this is indeed a place for the Demon Slayer Corps to recuperate and rest.

There is no need to worry about it anymore. Since there are industries on their side in the hot spring village, of course they will choose their own.

Horitake and Mitsuri pushed open the door of the Wisteria Hot Spring with anticipation and walked in.

As soon as they entered this hot spring hotel, Horitake and Mitsuri found that the storefront of this hot spring hotel was similar to the store door outside, and both were decorated elegantly and exquisitely.

Horitake likes this kind of decoration style that is not overly prosperous.

When Horitake and Mitsuri opened the door, they also rang the wind chimes on the door, and the busy proprietress behind them responded:

"Welcome!"

It turned out to be an old lady who looked to be over 60 years old. The old lady was wearing a simple kimono and stood at the entrance of the store to greet the two customers:

"Are the two guests from the Demon Slayer Corps?"

Hori nodded:

"Exactly."

Hearing Horitake's voice, the owner of the store also came out:

"Oh!? The warriors of the Demon Slayer Corps are here, could it be the two I met yesterday?"

As he spoke, an old man in plain clothes came out from the back of the store:

"Ah! It's you two!"

Horitake and Mitsuri were also surprised to see the old man. Mitsuri was very surprised:

""Eh!? You...you're not the old man who was at the foot bath at the entrance of the hot spring stream yesterday!?"

Yes, this old man was the first person Horitake and Mitsuri met after arriving in Kusatsu yesterday. It was also this old man who assisted Horitake at the foot bath!

Horitake was also a little surprised:

"I didn't expect it to be you, old man. I'm afraid you discovered our identities when we first came here yesterday?"

The old man was in high spirits and a little proud:

"Of course, I recognized you two from the Demon Slayer Corps when I saw your clothes and your Nichirin swords, but I felt bad for you two not staying at our hotel last night."

Hori Gaku shook his head helplessly:

"I can't help it. Last night... well, I'm not in a good position to say it, anyway, I killed a few ghosts and solved a big crisis."

Although Horitake's words were light, they surprised the old man and the old woman.

The kind-looking old woman was a little worried:

"Could it be... Could it be that a ghost appeared in Kusatsu County?"

"Not really. There were ghosts in the deep mountains near Kusatsu. Those ghosts wanted to target Kusatsu. We accidentally encountered them last night, so we killed them all and resolved the crisis."

The old man suddenly realized:

"I see. I ran into Yin's team members today. I heard that there is still official government control in Kusatsu today. I guess it's because of what happened last night."

"That's right, but don't worry, the trouble has been solved by me, and Kusatsu has returned to safety and peace."

Hearing what Horitake said, the old woman and the old man bowed to Horitake and Mitsuri with gratitude:

"I am really grateful to you two for killing the evil spirits. Without you two, Kusatsu would definitely be in big trouble."

Mitsuri hurriedly bowed in return:

"No, no, this is what we should do."

Hori also said you're welcome:

"It's just a piece of cake."

At this time, the old woman asked worriedly:

"Since you two went to kill ghosts last night, were you injured? Do you want me to call a doctor?"

"Don't bother me, my injury has been healed."

Speaking of this issue, Mitsuri also reacted, she looked at Horitake's shoulder worriedly:

"That’s right! Brother Horitake, your wound cannot get wet! What should I do?"

Horitake said nonchalantly:

"What's the matter? It's just a minor injury. It doesn't matter."

"Is it really okay?"

No problem!" Hori Gaku turned to look at the old woman and the old man and asked,"You two, is there a hot spring here... can I take a bath?"

"Of course there is!"At this point, the old man's spirits came up, and he said proudly:"Because we need to entertain the swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps, we need to be low-key, so our soup may not be the most famous, but it must be the best!"

Horitake smiled and looked forward to it:

"That's really great"

"Old lady, please entertain these two distinguished guests."

"Don't worry, old man, please follow me."

The old man entrusted the task of entertaining the guests to the old woman.

It must be said that the service industry and service tradition in Japan are really not simple.

The old woman came over and knelt in front of the entrance. She took out two pairs of slippers from the shoe cabinet and respectfully asked Horitake and Mitsuri to change their shoes:

"Please change your shoes."

Hori and Mitsuri had never been received so grandly before. They were somewhat unaccustomed to it.

However, they followed the old lady's instructions and changed into comfortable slippers.

Then, Hori and Mitsuri, led by the old lady, walked deeper into the hotel.

As expected of a hot spring hotel run by the Wisteria family, although the store is not big, it is really a different world inside. Hori and Mitsuri followed the old lady and walked for a while in the elegant and warm environment, passing by the courtyard, the corridor, the pavilion, and entered the innermost area.

The decoration of this area is one level higher than that of the outside, and it is obviously used to entertain guests.

Finally, the old lady opened the door of a Japanese-style room:

"Please rest here."

Hori took a look and was very satisfied.

Mitsuri took a closer look and was very surprised.

This Japanese-style room is quite large, warmly decorated, exquisitely decorated, elegantly arranged, with clear lighting, fresh air, and beautiful and open scenery, which makes people fall in love with it.

The most important thing is the hot spring. What satisfied Hori and surprised Mitsuri was that outside this Japanese-style room was a large enclosed courtyard that belonged exclusively to this Japanese-style room. The courtyard was full of fresh flowers and plants, and there were several beautiful wisteria trees planted. In the center of the courtyard was a large hot spring pool made of bluestone.

The courtyard is surrounded by rocks, trees, flowers and plants, which ensures daylighting while also ensuring privacy and shelter.

The gurgling hot spring water flows into the pool from one corner like a stream waterfall, and when the hot spring pool is full, it slowly flows out from another place.

In other words, this hot spring is living water!

Horitake walked into the Japanese-style room and looked around. What else is he not satisfied with?

Mitsuri walked into the Japanese-style room and was also very surprised and happy.

Suddenly, she realized that the mother-in-law only arranged a room and a hot spring pool for them!
