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

Meet with Nezuko

I don't know how many weeks since Harada beat Kagami. But certainly, now the green sliced grass man has returned to pursue his long mission. His residence is also now increasingly quiet, and leaves only the aunt of the housekeeper who has long devoted himself to Kisatsutai.

With Akechi and Zenitsu's sisters wandering around to exterminate demons in different places, the four of them also met less and less. Due to the extreme level difference, even Zenitsu had not seen her beloved sisters since she joined Kisatsutai.

But in addition to the sense of loneliness Zenitsu, many people feel more lonely again. Including with Hikari and Hikaru, who after a long time just got a mission together. The two sisters also completed their mission quite smoothly, even though Hikaru was currently poisoned with aconite flowers. The beneficial thing for the man who made honey chocolate was his twin sister who brought the antidote, so that his life could be saved.

Now under the gentle moonlight, Hikari was seen walking fast. While the unusually limp Hikaru was just quiet and enjoying the breeze on the back of his twin sister. Hikari's Kasugai bird flew close to the two, pointing them both in front of a wooden gate with a wisteria.

"Kugo you're evil! Why are you sending us to the wisteria house anyway?" the mood of the orange-haired girl was bad at the moment.

"Kocho-sama is on a mission with Tsumori kyodai! So take care of your twin brother until he recovers, waaaak!" kugo said, Kasugai belongs to Hikari.

"Ah, you suck!"

"Hikari, stop. I'm fine."

"Urusai baka aniki!"

Hikari's mood is now unusually bad, though her logic justifies what Kugo says. Because in the Butterfly House, only the Shinobu and Tsumori brothers knew about poison. Hikari sighed harshly, lamenting her fate which could only learn a little from Shinobu and Tengen about handling poison.

But when a large-cowled old granny emerges from behind the gate and allows the two to enter, the orange-haired girl tries to regulate her emotions. At least he should be a little calmer in the presence of civilians.

The old grandmother led Hikari into a room with a futon already held. Hikari plucked out Hikaru's nichirin, removed the futon blanket, then laid her brother there. Hikari immediately sat down leaning against the wall and removed her nichirin as well from her belt. With a tired face Hikari placed the two nichirins on the left side of the futon.

The large-spirited grandmother said she would take warm water and cloth. The orange-haired girl simply nodded, and her grass-green bead now found her twin sister smiling knots.

Hikari looked a little stunned and worried about the behavior of her twin sister. The tiny grandmother entered with a basin of warm water and a clean cloth. Hikari said that he would do it himself. The petite grandmother raised her eyebrows, then left the room saying she would prepare clean food and clothing. Hikari simply nodded and immediately cleared Hikaru's face.

"Aniki, you don't see anything weird, do you?" Hikari just wanted to make sure. Her twin sister nodded slowly.

"I can be slapped tou-chan if it leaves you," Hikaru replied in a raucous voice. Hikari smiled knot.

"Then hold on. I'll continue treatment here."

Hikaru nodded in silence. The man sliced the honey chocolate bar let his twin sister to treat her toxic symptoms, most of which made her feel like she was floating. In fact, wolfsbane poison is very influential on the heart, making this poison very dangerous.

But fortunately Hikaru managed to inhibit the poison with his breathing. Even with his gaze currently blurred, the black-haired man could still see Hikari painstakingly wiping away the sweat that slid freely on his face. At least the last thing Hikaru remembered was the sound of a slammed fusuma. Not to forget the two auras of great worry.

.

Every minute keeps rolling, and slowly a matter of hours also change. The sun has returned to its throne, illuminating a world that will be very dangerous when night falls. The demons have returned to the shadows, waiting for nightfall to hunt humans.

Any demon that lived wildly would look for a dark place to take shelter, quite different from a demon that had occupied a certain place. As well as a large mansion, from which continues to sound the thump of tsuzumi drums. Along with the drum that beats many times, there will be a dark air that is difficult to explain.

At least that was what the blonde-haired young man with the orange tip thought. A pair of beads as sweet as honey stared fixedly at the mansion, then let out a long sigh and swallowed the saliva in his throat with great difficulty. His instincts said that this mansion had at least 3 demons in it.

Near the fire-haired young man, there was one boy and one girl. Not forgetting the existence of two colleagues who are somehow quite magical. Her first companion was a black-haired girl with a wood-like tip. One of his colleagues, the oldest of the three, had yellow hair and golden irises. Not to forget the corpse of a man drenched in blood near them five.

"Nezuko-san, Zenitsu nii-san, let's go save their sister" he said. Nezuko nodded.

"Guard, Senjuro-kun. Chotto matte ne," reply Nezuko. The girl looked for shade, then kept the box she always carried on her back.

"Ciii! You go in there Sen-kun, I'll just wait outside."

"Oh come on, if you keep this up, you'll only make Harada-san shy, Zenitsu nii-san."

Pelipis Zenitsu. This yellow haired youth knew that the person in front of him was the younger brother of Hashira Fire and one of Hikaru's proteges. But somehow the young man's tongue as sweet as honey sounds not like the tongue of the other Rengoku. Is it possible because of the influence of his favorite aniue who is always frank? Zenitsu did not know, but surely Zenitsu was unusually upset right now.

Nezuko and Senjuro walked into the mansion while holding the handle of nichirin. Zenitsu snorted and immediately caught up with the two. Even the young man made a golden brown until he pulled the plain white haori Senjuro while saying that he would participate.

The three of them entered the house on full alert, although Zenitsu still looked terrified. The air inside this house was too heavy and dark. Senjuro keeps trying to control his emotions. Zenitsu still looked frightened.

While on the other hand, Nezuko approached the two children, who surprisingly approached the three just because the box containing Tanjiro continued to emit a growling sound. Senjuro's honey-brown bead now finds Nezuko nagging the two children, before finally the sound of tsuzumi's drum cries out several times and separates them all.

Nezuko and a two-pointed girl, who say her name is Teruko. On the other hand Zenitsu has to protect a boy named Shoichi, and on the other hand, maybe because Senjuro is being really unlucky, the fire-haired young man was directly faced with the demon who had three tsuzumi drums on his body.

One on the right shoulder, one on the left shoulder, and one on the middle chest. A pair of beads as sweet as honey were perfectly rounded, not believing that it was he who would come face to face with this heavy demon.

.

Seconds keep rolling alternately. Every minute the sun slowly descends from its throne, and the sky at the end of summer is colored by a tinge of orange. The signs of twilight begin to dawn, and soon night will come. The times where the demons would hunt for food under the soft silvery rays of the moon.

As the orange sky was replaced by the dark night sky, the cool breeze again gushed gently, caressing everything it went through. Harada, with her head bandaged, was seen sitting on the engawa while raising her head sighing deeply, enjoying the scent of momiji leaves that were slowly beginning to appear.

Harada looked back with a complicated look. His mind was too tangled since yesterday, especially when Hikari said that the demon that made Hikaru exposed to wolfsbane poison was a legendary former shinobi. The grass green bead was directly in sight with Tengen leaning against the wall. The maroon-sliced man got up from his seat, then sat down to the left of Harada.

"Calm down, Hikaru I've secured his position. He will soon be conscious" said Tengen. Harada nodded slowly.

"Kazumasa Shotaro, his specialty is not poison, right?" ask Harada. Next to Tengen's white eyebrows raised, but finally nodded.

"He's a quick killer. If it's about poison, there's only one character I think of."

"Who is he, Tengen?"

"Kudo Hakaku's. Hideki must know this guy."

Harada. The black-haired man recalled what Hideki had said a few months ago, if the figure was very fast and had good reflexes. Harada sighed again, then laid her body with her legs hanging on the ground, then closed her eyes. It was only fitting that Hikaru was poisoned, as the Shinobi used their poison clandestinely without the opponent realizing.

His mind is getting more confused. Even Harada was unaware if Tengen went back into the room, and checked on Hikaru. The black-haired man only realized that Hikaru had just awakened when he opened his eyes. Harada shuffled from her position, and immediately hugged Hikaru even though he was a little moved and sobbed.

"Onii-chan, I'm fine anyway" Hikaru muttered in a raucous voice. Harada took off her embrace and nodded.

"I know, but. It still feels-"

"Onii-chan, stop. I'll get beat up by tou-chan if I get there too fast."

Harada slightly chuckled, then nodded slowly. Before Tengen realized his Kasugai was in the air, the white-haired man had already sighed first before his Kasugai crow landed on his shoulder and informed of his next mission.

Harada could only give a stiff chuckle to encourage Tengen. Although to be honest, Harada's behavior only made the muscular man even more arrogant. It didn't take long for Tengen to put his zor slippers back on, then jump over the stone fence from the wisteria house. Harada shook her head slowly, trying to understand the former shinobi's magical behavior.

Since Tengen left for the mission, perhaps 2 hours have passed. The big-snouted grandmother had given them both a portion of dinner, and both of them had also taken a bath to refresh themselves. Now the two are sitting leaning against the wall of the room while chatting casually. Both of them now wear purple yukata with white hands.

The fusuma of the room is deliberately opened wide, so a cool late summer breeze fills the room. The grass-green sliced man was aghast when he realized that there was a demonic smell coming here, and this demon was accompanied by at least 4 Mizunoto-level demon hunters.

Harada can recognize the smells of Senjuro, Nezuko and Zenitsu among them, but not with one other scent. Hikaru took his nichirin, and threw Harada nichirin who was captured deftly by his holder. Harada hints for Hikaru to hide his nichirin, arguing that Harada will handle all of this. Hikaru finally hid his nichirin under a futon blanket.

The demon's scent drew closer, accompanied by the scent of Nezuko and Zenitsu trailing behind him. But when the demon appeared on the engawa, Harada raised his left hand, asking that Hikaru restrain himself. The man sliced the honey chocolate protested.

But Harada said that this demon, which had wine-red hair, biting a bamboo stick, was the only survivor of the Aino massacre. Hikaru looked annoyed, even he growled. Harada just sighed, trying to understand his sister's reaction.

The child-shaped demon entered the room. Harada shuffled to be in front of Hikaru and nearly beheaded this demon in front of him. But the demon who also made the reddish appearance touched Hikaru and burned all the body of the man sliced honey chocolate with wine-red fire.

Harada reflexively throws the demon out of the room. That unique colored flame automatically disappeared when its user was in the air. Harada immediately checked on Hikaru, worried that his sister's situation would be even worse. In fact, Harada still feels dizzy because of the wound that is on the left side of his head.

"Hikaru, you're okay, right?" ask Harada. Hikaru nodded.

"He burned poison in my body, brother. The poison is depleted," Hikaru retorted.

Harada chuckles. During his career in Kisatsutai, Harada discovered that there was a Kekkijutsu that looked like an attack, but in fact it was a healing technique. The green sliced man looked back at Fusuma. His eyes now caught a long black-haired girl who was in a scowl, then lowered her head to form an angle of 90°.

With the instinct of an older brother Harada walked out, then straightened the head of the girl. Both of Harada's ears were immediately tickled by Zenitsu's exclamation, which said she missed her beloved aniki so much. Zenitsu even went so far as to wrestle spoiled at Harada's waist.

Senjuro slightly bowed when greeting Harada, and the only thing that interested Harada was about the boar-masked young man who came along with Zenitsu and the others. Without a word Harada pointed at the young man, who was instantly avenged by Nezuko's rigid ruckus.

"Hey guys, come in first!"

The one who said that earlier was Hikaru. The black-haired man returned to the room and rolled the futon that had been held since. Harada nodded slowly, allowing the nearby Mizunoto to stop by for a while.

They all entered the room that Harada and Hikaru had occupied for two days, then sat around the room. The five of them decided to keep their nichirin in the middle, as well as Harada and Hikaru.

The Akechi brothers introduced themselves, although they were still hiding their current rank. The pig-masked young man also introduced himself as Hashira Inosuke, and it made Harada a little jolt. Because in fact, Harada knows Douma once held back his appetite for one woman surnamed Hashibira. On the other hand, Zenitsu and Senjuro were slightly surprised to see Harada and Hikaru who only introduced his name.

"Anu, please forgive my brother's reaction, Harada-san," Nezuko said. Tanjiro is now lying on the lap of the pink-haored girl while playing with her black hair.

"That's it. At least thanks to your brother, the poison in my sister's body immediately burned away" Harada replied. Zenitsu looked at Hikaru with a surprised look.

"Eh Hika-nii poisoned! How can?!"

"Be quiet, the Zenitsu breed! This is a modified demonic poison."

"But Harada-san, I'm honestly surprised Tanjiro didn't react at all to the blood of the two of you."

Now it was Nezuko, Inosuke and Zenitsu who glanced at Harada and Hikaru curiously. Harada, who happened to be sitting to the right of Senjuro, immediately clicked the head of the fire-haired young man quite loudly. Neither Harada nor Hikaru hated having to admit he was a marechi.

The grass-colored bead of spring Harada discovers that Inosuke is starting to challenge Harada to a fight. But the masked young boar was immediately hit by Zenitsu, right at the nape of her neck, so that now Inosuke was unconscious. Harada only chuckled stiffly when she saw the crowd nearby.

"Alright, I will explain the meaning of the word Senjuro," said Harada in a slightly lazy tone. Nezuko and Zenitsu looked enthusiastic. Inosuke is sleeping in Engawa.

"Whether I, Hikari or nii-chan are the owners of rare blood, or more easily marechi," Hikaru said in a still raucous voice.

"Then among the marechis, there are several classes. The higher the class, the more fragrant the blood will be and contain a lot of strength" Harada said.

"Anu aniki, then what about the three of you?"

"Nii-chan is at the top of the pyramid. If nii-chan is eaten by the devil, then the equation between nii-chan and the other marechi is 45 marechi. While me and Hikari are 20 marechi."

Zenitsu again shouted and said that every drop of blood of her three brothers turned out to be very valuable. While covering his buzzing ears, Senjuro silently stared fixedly at Tanjiro.

The fire-haired youth knew that Harada, Hikari and Hikaru were marechi. But if the equation gets that bad, aren't the three of them the ones who should be very protected? Senjuro did not think.

But when he recalls the power of the three, who even individually outnumber his father and brother, Senjuro is convinced that the Akechi brothers choose not to care about their marechi status, and use this to protect the crowd.

"Nezuko-chan," said Harada. Nezuko looked at Harada with an enthusiastic look.

"What is Harada-san?" ask Nezuko.

"Your situation is not good. Sooner or later Hashira's gonna sniff out what you're doing."

"D-demo Harada-san. I can't just leave nii-chan."

"I know very well your situation, Nezuko-chan. So take it easy, but you have to keep preparing for the worst."

Nezuko nodded slowly. Harada patted the top of Nezuko's head gently, then slightly ruffled her black hair which was now braided one to the back. Nezuko smiled, saying that any obstacles would be faced to restore her brother to full human form.

Harada could only smile bitterly when she heard the burning determination of the pink-haired girl. Hikaru, who was aware that his brother was starting to feel guilty, immediately took over the conversation, and said that the five of them must be tired after a long trip.

Nezuko and Senjuro nodded. However Inosuke again challenges Harada to a fight, so Zenitsu must hit the masked young man's nape. After carrying his belongings, the five of them were now completely alone to head to the room, leaving behind Hikaru and Harada who were closing the fusuma. Hikaru held two futons, and immediately secured himself in one of the futons he had held. Meanwhile, Harada now rests her body on a futon that Hikaru does not use.
