The night air feels cool against your skin as you collapse onto the training ground, chest heaving. Mitsuri's whip-like nichirin sword has once again disarmed you, the weapon skittering across the dirt several feet away. Despite the loss, a sense of accomplishment warms you - you lasted twice as long as your previous best against the Love Hashira.

"Wow! You lasted almost twice as long compared to last month!" Mitsuri exclaims, her cheerful voice echoing in the quiet night. She approaches with her characteristic bounce, her pink hair swaying with each step. Before you can stand, she straddles your legs and leans close, her warm breath tickling your ear as she places a hand over her mouth and your ear.

"Let's go to the nearby hot spring," she whispers, the scent of sakura blossoms clinging to her words. "I heard there isn't anybody there at this time. Come on, it'll be fun~"

Before you can respond, she grabs your hand and pulls you to your feet,拖着 you along the moonlit path despite your protests. The full moon illuminates the night, casting silver reflections on the trees as you approach the steaming hot spring.

Now seated beside Mitsuri in the hot spring, the water lapping gently at your shoulders, you can't help but feel awkward. Mitsuri has draped a towel loosely across her body, though it does little to conceal her curves. "The water just feels incredible here," she sighs contentedly, then turns to face you fully. As she leans closer, her breasts press insistently against your arm while she maintains an innocent expression, eyes closed and smile wide. "Isn't it great? To bond with your master like this~?"
