Kimetsu No Yaiba: Storm in Hell, Strongest Story of Marechi

Original Vitality and Kuwajima Jigoro

Dreamtime

The waves stroked his ears, and the smell of salt also spoiled his sharp smell. The breeze of the sea stroked every inch of his exhausted, stout body, making Harada feel very lazy to open his eyes. Although in the end, a pair of beads in his emerald color appeared. Harada slightly frowned, and protected both her eyes with her hands.

With an unusually aching head Harada immediately sat down. The frown on his forehead deepened as he found himself asleep on the pure white sand. The black-haired man cleaned his hair. The frown on his wide forehead deepened when he realized that he only wore plain white jinbei. His ears could hear someone's footsteps, and it made him immediately sit and look back, where the voice came from.

A smile was flashed on Harada's tired face when the black-haired man noticed the person who was approaching him. With her long black hair pigtailed, Yoriichi decided to sit to Harada's left. His scarlet bead was closed, enjoying the very distinctive smell of the sea.

"You really enjoyed this place, Yoriichi-dono," Harada said. Yoriichi nodded.

"Because this place reflects you, Harada," replied the man wearing the dark red haori.

"By the way, you don't usually look this relaxed. What's the matter, Yoriichi-dono?"

"My vitality, which had been covered by the vitality of Michikatsu and Sojuro, has now been combined with the vitality of both of them."

Both beads in the emerald color of Harada's rounded. The black-haired man did not know what to do and reacted like. Between happiness and anxiety, his mind now feels mixed like a vegetable soup. Yoriichi patted Harada on the shoulder, then smiled faintly. Trying to calm the tall man.

"Calm down, your body will get used to this, Harada."

Now some cold sweat circles glide freely on both temples of Harada. The black-haired man felt an immense force enter his body forcefully. But after a few minutes, the energy surge began to subside and the energy calmed down again. Although to be honest, now Harada's heartbeat can be said to be abnormal, until his vision is now dimmed and completely dark.

Dream End

At least 3 days have passed since Gyomei came to the Butterfly House with Harada on his shoulder, complete with Hideki, Ryunato and Harada's two twin sisters who were also seriously injured. But while the four men are now doing recovery exercises with the help of Mitsuri and Tengen, Harada is still unconscious.

Thank you for the wounds on his chest and back that were long and deep, so Harada lost a lot of blood. Other than the rest of the Butterfly Residence's occupants, the wound this time even made the Tsumori brothers, Yue and Ui, who were even more skilled in medicinal matters than Shinobu, very worried.

Actually not only worried if Kisatsutai would lose his strongest member. But this also concerns the personal problems of both of them. In short, actually the brothers harbored a very deep love for Harada. Or rather, at least the female demon hunters would make Harada their ideal criterion.

Now when the two brothers were checking on Harada's condition, the black-haired man suddenly convulsed. Yue who was more rational than Ui immediately took action and injected anti-seizure drugs, then again checked the heartbeat of the big man. Although his heartbeat was still hunting, his heart rate was now beginning to run in a normal direction.

Meanwhile, Ui who actually had a trauma to the moment when someone stretched his life, could only hold his head with both hands with bulging eyes. A single tear managed to glide flawlessly on the smooth cheek of the orange haired girl.

"Onegie, Hara-nii! Onegai!"

"Oh my goodness, Ui! Relax slightly! Harada is okay!"

Although Yue quite often berated his sister, but the black-haired young woman was now not joking at all. Her sister was now staring at her maroon bead as if in disbelief. Yue finally told Ui to examine Harada with her own hands.

Her sister complied and immediately smiled, even though the orange-haired girl could not stop crying. Or at least for now, Ui could feel a little relieved. Yue sighed softly, then hugged his only sister from the side, trying to calm her down.

A few minutes passed, and the creaking of the moving door was heard clearly. The Tsumori sisters were shocked when they saw Amane and Kagaya entering the room in silence. Meanwhile, Amane had raised next to his white eyebrows because he did not expect that in this room there were two Tsumori sisters.

"I hope our arrival does not interfere with your work" said Amane. Ui direct rakagapan.

"Of course not Amane-sama. Wait a minute, yes" Yue replied. The black-haired girl took two benches and placed them next to Harada's bed.

"Thank you very much, Yue-chan."

"That's no big deal, Oyakata-sama, really."

"So, how's Harada? Because to be honest, I'd be very sad if we lost someone as strong as him."

Ui's a little stuck. Amane and Kagaya, who were already sitting on the bench that Yue had provided, looked at the Tsumori brothers with a gentle and sorrowful, yet firm gaze as well. Yue sighed softly, then said everything plainly to the two husbands and wives.

Both of Kagaya's eyes, which had actually lost their function, widened and then shed tears. Yue Yang saw that bitterly smiling, because among the other demon hunters who were still active, only Yue knew the personal relationship between Harada and Kagaya. But Yue said that if he, Ui and Shinobu will try their best to take care of the Hurricane Hashira. Kagaya smiled with a facial expression that implied a tangle of mood.

"You can entrust this to us, Oyakata-sama," Yue said in a gentle tone.

"Of course, you are the best of the best. So I'm sure that you're going to die now" Kagaya replied.

"Thank you for your trust, Oyakata-sama!"

The Time Skip

From that day on, Harada managed to gain her full consciousness on the fourth day. It meant that he had been asleep for a week, and this was enough to get him a great welcome from the Hashiras. Even Giyuu who usually put on his wall face looked very relieved at that time.

Mitsuri who first noticed it, cried for quite a while the other day. Even without the threat from Shinobu, Harada will likely not be able to survive the twist of Kaburamaru along with the overprotective Obanai giggles against Hashira Love. Hideki, who had not been active again on the mission, could only look at Harada with a complicated gaze.

3 Days after awakening, Harada is required to attend rehabilitation training for 4 days. Mitsuri takes care of the body's flexibility, while Tengen has to take care of the most unpleasant parts, namely reflexes and speed.

But as a former shinobi and someone who loves beauty, Tengen combines reflex training and speed, so they only play chases. If the two big men were chasing each other in the dojo, then it is certain that the stormy atmosphere will be heard immediately.

On the fourth day of training, which was the last day, Harada finally managed to snatch the bell on the Tengen belt. The next day, Harada was allowed to leave the Butterfly House. But on the second day of recovery practice, Kagaya had met Harada in person and again requested that Harada take her holiday ration that had never been taken. Harada gave up, and decided to take 2 weeks off.

Then on the fourth day, Harada found Kara landing on his chest, and reported that Jigoro Kuwajima, who was quite close to him the other day, had come, having committed seppuku out of embarrassment when he learned that one of his disciples, who had become a demon hunter, had now betrayed himself and turned himself into a demon because he had lost to Kokushibou.

Harada thunched irritably the other day. Kara also brought Kasugai owned by his student Jigoro, so now Harada has 2 Kasugai technically. But Kasugai belongs to his student Jigoro is planned to be given to Sakonji, so that Harada can freely exchange letters with the former Hashira Air.

At least for now, after the recovery training was completed, Harada was allowed to go home. But there has not been a week, the green-sliced man said that he would stay at Sakonji's house with his twin brothers who had been active in the mission.

"Yes!! I'm going to go with onii-chan!" Hikari was crying. The orange-haired girl has never visited Sakonji since becoming a demon hunter.

"Hikari, you'll get angry at Sakon ji-chan if you ignore the mission" Harada said. Hikari pouting.

"But onii-chan~"

"The lion! Eat it if you have free time, don't get preoccupied with sleep!"

Hikari. Harada let out a long sigh, then ruffled the top of Hikari's head gently. The black-haired man said he would give Hikari a greeting. The grass-green sliced girl re-enforced her head with a gaze as if asking for clarity.

Harada smiled and nodded, before finally saying goodbye to head to Sagiri mountain. Despite being on holiday, Harada chooses to wear her uniform so that she can be recognized by Sakonji easily. Because since starting the mission on Mount Aino, Harada decided to wear perfume, and this carried on until now.

From his home, it takes at least 6 hours for Harada to get to the Sagiri mountains. It's been a long time since the black-haired man didn't come here, but it's all the same. The smell of the nose-piercing wet pine still filled these mountains. The green-sliced man reached the Sagiri mountains at 1pm, but the sky was cloudy.

Because very few people live at the foot of Sagiri mountain, Harada can only rely on his smell, logic and instinct to search for Sakonji. A place that was roughly visited by the middle-aged man, or a place that at least became his favorite. There appears a place that allows visited by former Hashira Air, which is a large waterfall near here.

With a carefree heart Harada ran casually there, more precisely to the top of the cliff that is beside the pounding waterfall. A longing smile spread over Harada's pale face when she saw Sakonji's cloud-patterned light blue haori. The man wearing the Tengu mask, who was gazing towards the waterfall, twisted his body. The scent of happiness instantly burst out from the old man, who was suddenly hugging him without any cues.

"Yokatta na Harada, yokatta," murmured Sakonji, who had actually been crying in silence. Harada returned Sakonji's embrace gently.

"I think you heard my fight in Aino, Sakon ji-chan," Harada replied. Sakonji took off his embrace and nodded.

"I know the people there, and I'm also close to Saburo. When he took me there, I was surprised by the scale of the fight."

"Then forgive me, Sakon ji-chan."

"Have it, oh yeah by the way, did your father's haori get ripped off?"

"That's how, six-eye sucks that's why."

Harada pats Sakonji on the back. The old man now led him to the edge of the cliff, then pointed at someone meditating under the waterfall. The grass green bead was rounded when it came to its senses with that long black haired figure, which was none other than Nezuko. The young girl looked so serious and focused, that it amazed Harada.

"Oh yeah Harada, Jigoro left me something," said Sakonji. Harada immediately looked at the man with the Tengu mask with a surprised look.

"Eh? Goro ji-chan, what is Sakon ji-chan?" Harada looks blank and doesn't know what to react to. But Sakonji handed Harada an envelope.

"Jigoro forbade me to open it. So you better find a place and find out what it is. I still have to keep an eye on Nezuko."

Sakonji walks down the cliff. While Harada now seems a little jolted, and her mind tries to connect with her heart and body. The black-haired man knew that Jigoro was too close to Sakonji the other day, so the two of them did not hesitate to share things. Rather than dizzy thinking of the place, Harada sat down cross-legged and opened the envelope. A letter, but it was very long.

*Hey, Harada. It's me, your grandfather who used to prank you, Kuwajima Jigoro. I've been watching you ever since, and now you're really a really cool kid! Ah I wish we could meet again, but I know you're very busy, especially since you rose to Hashira, so I decided not to bother you*.

*I deliberately left this letter to Sakon, because I know you are much more attached to her than Shinjuro. Then if you read this letter, then I've done my seppuku because I'm so ashamed of Kaigaku's decision to become a demon*.

*I have a request for you, Harada. Besides, you know that I'm just a selfish, noisy old man, so I'll be frank. So, can you take care of Zenitsu for me? He's a very timid soft-hearted boy. She actually hates fighting, but with me doing seppuku, she will most likely lose her direction a bit even though she remains overpowered by her fears. The yellow boy also has enormous potential, Harada. So you don't have to worry*.

*Then about Kaigaku, I thought you'd feel familiar with that name. Your thoughts are correct, Kaigaku who embarrassed me was the child who made Himejima Gyomei, who is currently Hashira Batu, almost lose her head. I asked this to Oyakata-sama, which is why I know the relationship between Kaigaku and Himejima*.

*Oyakata-sama also said that you two are at a glance like sisters. Ah you must be happy that you have an older brother, Harada! Then I hope you don't go berserk when you meet Kaigaku, because I know you won't let a true traitor seem to walk freely on the ground. Geez, this old man is raving too much like him. I've already written this letter, I hope you live your life well, Harada! Then don't forget to slash Muzan's head there, let me chop that demon together with Matsuda here*!

Harada read the letter with wide, watery eyes. His chest right now seemed to be pierced with many nichirins, feeling claustrophobic with the reality that existed in this world. But on the other hand, Harada felt that the world she lived in was too narrow and full of bloodthirsty demons. Harada re-enters the letter to the envelope, then descends the cliff to find Sakon ji-chan who has now become a father figure for her. If not at home or in the middle of the forest, then surely the two people were still near the waterfall. Because Sakonji said he still has to take care of Nezuko.
