As soon as Tanjiro finished speaking, he pressed his lips to Shinobu's in a sudden, firm kiss.
He cradled her head gently with both hands, showing her exactly what he wanted without any hesitation now that she had confessed her feelings.
A powerful shock raced down Shinobu's spine the moment their mouths met.
Her wide purple eyes stared at Tanjiro's face while a wave of heat surged through her entire body.
'We're kissing…' She still couldn't believe it.
This was her first kiss.
And it was with the person she liked.
The Commander-in-Chief of the Demon Slayers — or, simply put, the Supreme Commander.
In all honesty, he was likely the strongest person alive.
And he was the one who had initiated it…!
Realizing that, happiness and desire flooded her heart and mind.
Not wanting to let this moment slip away, she wrapped her arms tightly around his neck and began to return the kiss.
Tanjiro noticed the change in her and grinned inwardly.
Without breaking the contact between their demanding lips, he slid one hand down to her narrow waist and squeezed, lifting her petite body with ease.
Shinobu stopped caring what he was doing.
She focused only on the kiss, following her instincts and copying his advances.
Just doing that sent euphoric waves crashing through her already light-headed mind, making her lose all control.
Next, in one smooth motion, Tanjiro sat down against the tree trunk and gently settled her on his lap, her legs straddling his waist.
One hand pressed against her back while the other caressed her nape, drawing her even closer.
"Mm~" A soft moan slipped from Shinobu's lips.
Her whole body had begun to heat up uncontrollably, she realized.
She didn't know whether it was Tanjiro's addictive warmth or her own body craving more. Either way, she welcomed the sensation and had no intention of stopping anytime soon.
As they kissed wildly, pressing their lips together with growing urgency, Tanjiro's playful tongue suddenly slipped inside and ravaged her mouth.
'H-His tongue~' Her heart skipped a beat.
She tried to pull back instinctively, but his firm grip on her nape held her in place.
Feeling her tense up from the unfamiliar sensation, he paused and patted her back gently. "Will you let your tongue out…" he murmured, voice calm and soothing.
Her body relaxed, melting under his touch.
Not wanting to disappoint him, she immediately let her wet tongue slip out as instructed.
The pleasure and intense affection he was giving her made her mind quietly accept that she shouldn't disobey him.
Tanjiro gave a satisfied smile, then caught her alluring tongue in an instant, sucking and licking her saliva with obvious relish.
"Ngh~" Shinobu's body shivered when she realized her tongue was being devoured by him.
His hands had been caressing her tenderly the whole time.
Receiving so much love from the person she adored, her reasoning slowly faded. She began to mimic his movements, doing whatever he did and learning it in moments.
Both of them lost themselves in the passion of carnal bliss.
Every last barrier she had melted away under the overwhelming arousal.
Closing her eyes, she chased the pleasure blindly, her tongue coiling around Tanjiro's in raw, primal desire.
Meanwhile, Tanjiro laughed silently in his mind.
'Got you now…'
The wet sounds of their kissing echoed around them for several minutes.
Only when he noticed Shinobu's face was flushed red and her eyes watery did Tanjiro finally release her tongue.
He licked his lips, swallowed her lingering saliva with clear enjoyment, and looked down at the ravishing beauty now lying exhausted on his lap.
Shinobu's breathing came in ragged gasps. "Hah… Hah…"
The corners of her mouth glistened under the sunlight.
Her purple eyes were clouded with obvious lust.
Her small body trembled uncontrollably.
Tanjiro's nose picked up a familiar, unmistakable scent rising from her body — especially from between her legs.
'She came multiple times…' He knew it instantly.
Even as a Hashira, she might have resistance to pain and suffering, but she had no defense against pleasure she had never experienced before.
A reckless, deep tongue kiss like that was more than enough to drive her over the edge again and again. She had climaxed who knows how many times in her pants. Since she was seated on his lap, his own pants had become damp from her repeated releases.
Chuckling inwardly, he pressed a loving kiss to her forehead and pulled her into a tight hug. Her bountiful chest, wrapped tightly in sarashi, pressed firmly against him. Even hidden, her soft, full breasts were no less impressive than Kie's, he could tell.
"Yosh yosh." He patted her head with extreme care. "You really went wild down there, huh. What a mess."
Her body trembled visibly in shame.
She buried her face deeper into his chest, hiding her burning cheeks. A deep blush spread across her nape and up to her ears.
Seeing her flushed and embarrassed state, he smiled warmly. "Don't worry. I'll bring spare clothes without anyone noticing. Just leave it to me."
Clinging tightly to his chest, she let out a small, muffled hum. "Mm…" She felt even more embarrassed all of a sudden.
Tanjiro let her stay like that for as long as she wanted.
He simply relished the moment, committing every detail to memory.
For now, he was satisfied with just kissing. Going further would feel tasteless and would only frighten Shinobu.
Besides, he wanted her first time to happen in a proper place — on a soft bed in a decent room, not here on a tree branch in the forest.
Next, a thought occurred to him. He asked her directly.
"Shinobu, if you don't mind… I want you to be the one to give birth to my child."
Earlier, he had accepted Kagaya and Amane's proposal.
He agreed to marry all four of their daughters six or seven years later, as well as sleep with certain women devoted to the organization who were willing to carry his children.
As Kagaya had granted him the same authority as Oyakata-sama, refusing such an offer would have been ungrateful.
They were entrusting him with their daughters' futures.
That was how much they trusted and valued him.
To ensure Sun Breathing survived, they had even resolved the issue of producing heirs for him.
From their perspective, there was no reason for him to refuse.
So he had agreed.
Not because he was driven by lust or eager to impregnate random women thrown at him, but because he respected Kagaya and wanted to give his daughters a meaningful life.
If he failed to kill Muzan in the next few years, he would do everything in his power to lift their curse. Even if the girls married and changed their surnames, their lifespans would still be shortened, not as severely as Kagaya or Kiriya, but they would still die in their late twenties.
Now that they were destined to become his wives one day, he already considered them part of his family.
And when it came to family, Tanjiro was always deadly serious.
That aside, what concerned him right now was the breeding arrangement.
He wasn't supposed to sleep with just any woman Kagaya and Amane offered, was he?
'Fuck… I'd rather impregnate Shinobu than some strangers I know nothing about…'
He thought this while sensing Shinobu's emotions spiraling after his question.
For a few seconds she went completely quiet, as if her mind had been short-circuited.
Making a baby with Tanjiro?
Their baby?
Tanjiro wanted her…?
An indescribable emotion erupted in her heart.
'Am I… feeling joy?' She was speechless.
