Kimetsu No - Yaiba: Kage

Katana Nichirin's

“Ibusaki! Grab the rice sack that's in the warehouse!”

Exclaimed a man whose age had just stepped on the head of three, Yuuji is now a porters in a village where he once slept on one edge of the rice fields owned by the villagers.

To go home takes a lot of time and money, after all her nichirin katana is being made right now. So while waiting for his katana to be made, Yuuji takes a job as a porters in this village.

It has been fifteen days since the last selection when on Mount Fujika. He still had no news of the sword forging that made him the nichirin sword. For now, he is focused on his current job as a porters while training his physique and breathing.

Yuuji picked up the sack of rice from the warehouse, he circulated it to several houses. After all, he worked as a messenger from the Rice Warrior, so no stranger in these eleven days he has been known in this fairly small village.

No more Oni to touch this village, every night Yuuji always set up a grocery trap made of wood. If the parallel-mounted strings surrounding the village were to break, the alarms of wood clashing against each other would light up and that was a sign Yuuji was starting to move.

Taking a break, Yuuji went to his current place of stay which was a stall of horses. Although the stables he always cleaned this place, let alone sleeping on a haystack and coated with several pieces of cloth was one of the essential pleasures for Ibusaki Yuuji.

Hard work like this does not hurt, the important thing is there is money to eat Yuuji thought while lying on a haystack and looking at the horse that was eating. When intending to sleep for a while, the closed door was now open and there was a man wearing a hyottoko mask.

“Are you Ibusaki Yuuji?”

Asked the man wearing the hyottoko mask, Yuuji immediately stood up and confirmed the question. He hurriedly came out and began their conversation on a wooden chair that extended outside the stables.

“My name is Kozo Kanamori who handles your nichirin katana. The material for the nichirin sword could be obtained from a mountain close to the sun. Materials that create iron can absorb sunlight.”

Kanamori took out a katana wrapped in cloth. He opened it carefully and gave it to Yuuji who was on his left.

“Tick that nichirin katana, the katana color can change depending on the user.”

Kanamori said, Yuuji nodded his head and held the scabbard with his left hand and held the handle with his right hand and slowly pulled out his katana.

The katana iron bar began to have a black color that has a pattern like fire. Kanamori was surprised because the sword that was black and had a complexion was a rare event.

“Black color with flame pattern ... I don't know what this means and it is quite rare.”

Kanamori said as she looked at Yuuji who was glued to see his nichirin katana had a black fire pattern. Afterwards, Kanamori gives Yuuji the Demon Hunter uniform and leaves first and returns to the hidden village where the nichirin sword forgers exist.

Kasugai's crow that has been lost for several days back, the crow is perched on the head of Yuuji who has brownish black hair. Crow Kasugai informs Yuuji to complete his first mission in a town in the South, he understood this and today he is also out of his job as a Rice Porter.

* * * * *

Yuuji went to a city in the South. He also wore his black Demon Hunter uniform with a white fan pattern on almost the entire surface.

The uniform was made of a strong material, a low-level Oni attack would not injure it. While traveling, Yuuji walks leisurely because the city he will go to takes three hours by walking.

Katana Nichirin borrowed from her teacher she brought them, so she carried two nichirin katanas at once on her left waist attached. Every now and then, Yuuji rested in some of the villages he passed by and within three hours he arrived at the Southern city in question.

Entering the city and walking on the streets are quite quiet. He looked around the city where various shops and houses lined up along the eyes looked. It was only a temporary guise, Yuuji felt that something was left behind in this city.

Moreover, some local residents had small talks about some missing people, that had happened a few days ago. Yuuji rested for a while while eating chicken meat bakpao, his survival instinct felt something strange with this city.

The missing are among young children and some young girls. They disappear at night, so it is not strange that the culprit is Oni who settled in this city. But strange, even though this Oni has settled in this city where it may still not be caught and not hunted.

After swallowing his last bakpao, his strength slowly recovered and Yuuji did a small stretch. There was one thing he had to do right now, looking for a location where the missing people were last seen.

Yuuji walked down a small road and several intersections, he could not detect the footprints of Oni left behind. But he knew, after seeing this narrow street he felt something strange especially when at the intersection he passed earlier.

“Oni are troublesome, hiding in this city and preying on locals unnoticed until now very troublesome.”

Yuuji thought as he squatted down and examined the footprints of someone. There was nothing strange about this place, Yuuji began to assume that the Oni in this city were very clever and the footprints he left behind could be clean.

“Sixth Shape Shadow Breathing :Dimension Pieces.”

Yuuji suddenly swung his teacher's nichirin katana to the wall of the road. His katana cut something, Yuuji immediately checked what was cut and there was a piece of paper cut and the former connection was on the road barrier wall.

“Don't this paper make me feel bad?”

Yuuji gave up for the first day, preferring to rest his body and move around at night. Night is a suitable companion for him and at that time the Oni come out of their nest to find prey.

* * * * *

On top of the tower where the city surveillance took place. That's where Yuuji is eating chicken meat bakpao while enjoying the view of the moon with its light that illuminates this city, from above it is quite clear people who roam because they bring fire lanterns as lighting at night.

Yuuji didn't really expect that the Oni he was after would come out. Therefore, he relaxes first while enjoying black coffee as a friend in his own time, even though there is a Crow Kasugai who is silent in front of him.

While looking down, Yuuji tagged some of the people wandering around at night. If they disappeared all of a sudden then the Oni he was after started moving.

When Yuuji turned his attention to the side, the woman who was with the little boy earlier should still be in that place. However, he the figures of the two humans suddenly disappeared and only left the fire lantern above the ground level.

Immediately he went down the stairs while carrying his nichirin katana while his teacher's property he hung it on the left waist. Running towards the place where the two of them were missing, Yuuji relied on his survival instinct and mounted the horses to attack.

The strange feeling he had previously felt happened again. Yuuji swung his katana towards the road barrier wall, there was a piece of paper that fell to the ground on his katana swing.

“Sial!? What does this mean!?”

Yuuji thought, he immediately went to another street where previously there was a woman who walked alone at night. From the intersection of the alley from behind, the figure of a woman who was walking a diro near the road barrier wall there were two hands that intended to reach him.

“Oni who can get inside the wall!?”

Yuuji thought, he immediately ran and pulled out his nichirin katana. Before Oni's hand grabbed the woman, Yuuji cut off her left hand and fell to the ground.

The woman looked back and was shocked because there was someone carrying a katana and that person was Yuuji. Wanting to shout for help, Yuuji immediately kicked the woman because the Oni hand came out again from the wall even though it was only the right hand.

Yuuji twisted his body and swung his katana against the wall where the Oni was hiding. However, the Oni quickly re-entered and Yuuji cut off a piece of paper that was attached to the wall.

“Piece of paper? Impossible!?”

Panicked Yuuji, seeing that she had been pulled by his neck from behind the wall of the opposite road. The woman went into the paper, Yuuji immediately got up and pulled the woman's legs because almost half of her body had been swallowed into the paper.

Because the situation was very complicated, Yuuji was all his strength to attract the woman and in the end the Oni lost his strength because he only used one hand. The woman he pulled fell down and was shocked by a situation beyond ordinary human reason.

“You're okay!?”

Panicking Yuuji while looking at the woman's neck left a scar in red. Unfortunately again, the woman loses her consciousness and Yuuji immediately gets up and tries to protect the woman behind him.

The hand that he had cut before was now gone, there were several sheets of paper stuck to the wall and above the ground. This Oni had the ability to get into the paper, that was what Yuuji thought.

But ...

*Trangs

Yuuji managed to cut off a piece of paper that shot towards him, if he did not put his sword forward it might have slashed the paper after all the speed was quite high.

From a large enough paper, two hands came out of Oni who was now Yuuji's enemy. He slowly walked out of the paper and stood with his left hand moving to and fro.

His form is quite terrible, his mouth torn up to the cheeks but his teeth are very pointed. He also has a horn on his forehead that sticks up, his hands moving to and fro that can control various papers as his weapon.

Now, around him was a sheet of paper twisting around him and he smiled broadly at Yuuji while showing his pointy teeth.

“You're interrupting once, I'll kill you.”

Oni said, she swung her hands forward and the sheet of paper surrounding her flew towards Yuuji.

“Sial!”

To Be continue ....
