REHABILITATION ARC PROLOGUE — CHAPTER #17 — SO MUCH CHAOS!

"NOOOO! I CAN'T POSSIBLY TAKE ANY MORE!" Yelled Zenitsu in distress.

"Oh my fucking god! We go through this every single day!" Aoi was so done with him. "You're really injured! Take your medicine this second!"

Currently, Zenitsu, you, and Tanjiro were in the process of taking your assigned medicines. Zenitsu, however, strongly objected to his, claiming that it tasted terrible.

"...Bleh..." You couldn't help but stick out your tongue in disgust. Your own medicine wasn't any better; it tasted just as awful. Despite wanting to get it over with, it was challenging.

"Tanjiro, your medicine is right over there!" A little girl named Kiyo chimed in sweetly, offering the medicine to him.

"Thanks!" Tanjiro didn't hesitate and promptly took his medicine.

"HEY! TANJIRO'S MEDICINE GOES DOWN EASY, DOESN'T IT?! IT'S DIFFERENT FROM MINE, RIGHT?!" Zenitsu complained, seeking validation.

"Just shut fuck up!" Aoi snapped, clearly favoring Tanjiro. She then turned to you. "(Y/N), don't overthink it. Just take it quickly, and you won't even taste it." Her bias was evident, and you pouted as you glanced at her. Nevertheless, you followed her advice and took the medicine swiftly, despite its unpleasant taste.

Yeah, it still tasted terrible, but at least it was over now.

"There, see? Good job!" Aoi congratulated you, and you couldn't help but smile at the praise.

"WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?! THAT'S FUCKING FAVORITISM! IT'S OBVIOUSLY FAVORITISM! IT'S NOT FAIR!"

"Zenitsu, dude! This is a hospital ward! Shut up!" Tanjiro scolded him.

Someone entered the room, and both you and Tanjiro couldn't help but exclaim in delight. "Murata!"

"Hey, you two! You seem to be doing well!"" He greeted, waving with a warm smile.

'Who the hell is this motherfucker and WHY does (Y/N) looks happy to see him!?' Zenitsu was jelly.

Murata picked up a chair and seated between the space that was at yours and Tanjiro's beds.

"Are you alright?"

"Well, I came this close to getting melted away, but I made it somehow. But I heard you guys got really banged up."

"It looks like it's going to take some time..." Tanjiro said.

"Ey, wild boar kid, in your case, was it the throat?" Murata asked but Inosuke didn't respond. "Hmh? What's the matter with him?"

"He went through a lot. If you could please let him be..." Tanjiro said with pity.

"And (Y/N)!!! I'm glad you're alive! I was worried that something might have happened to you!!" Murata really did have a soft spot for you.

"Glad... you okay too!!" You matched his happy energy.

"Ehh?? Thank you but what happened to you? You seem rather small-"

"Tanjiro. Who is that person?" Interrupted Zenitsu.

"Oh, he is Murata. He fought with us on Mt. Natagumo." Explained the burgundy haired boy.

"I'm Murata! Nice to meet you!"

"ZENITSU! You still haven't taken your goddamn medicine?!" Aoi suddenly appeared.
