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

Mugen Train(1): Kaigaku, Akaza, and Hikari?

I don't know how many weeks have passed since Harada's holiday. The black-haired man had now returned to his routine as Hurricane Hashira. Even his work increased because he had to accompany Nezuko and her friends for recovery exercises and full breathing exercises.

But even though it sounds annoying, Harada actually considers the training he provided as a stress-relieving game. Because after all, his schedule was already very crowded with annoying patrols and missions. So from a pile of missions, the black-haired man needed something refreshing and bright cheerful.

At least a few days running without problems, even Harada a little sure if the high-intensity mission will not approach him in a while, because Harada accidentally had shown a psychological disorder in front of Kagaya. But for the first time his instincts were completely wrong. Even his brain said that the mission he would receive this time could be very dangerous.

Right now in the middle of the clear morning sky, inside the Ubuyashiki Residence, he was sitting together in front of Kagaya and Amane. Right next to him was Kyojuro whose expression was always bright, as if he did not harbor suspicion behind being called the fire-haired man along with Harada. The grass-green man was slightly goosebumps with Kyojuro's slightly exaggerated positive thinking.

"But Oyakata-sama, if it's just a mission to protect the Mugen train, I can still do it myself" Kyojuro said. Harada is getting creepy now.

"The main problem is not the car, but the route. Whenever there's a report of a Mugen train, there's always a former demon hunter who feels a very strong air" Kagaya said.

Alongside Kagaya, Amane nodded as if confirming her husband's words. The white-haired woman then read out a detailed report of the old mission Harada took, which was her mission while investigating the Juuni Kizuki. Or rather on the power part of Jogen and Kagen. Amane recites the ability of one Kagen Kizuki that can be said to be very neat, namely the illusion of dreams and the transfer of consciousness to inanimate objects.

Kyojuro's honey-coloured bead had swerved as long as Amane explained about the power. Kagaya then added, if the former Mugen train always looks neat and empty after the incident. Harada sighed, and scratched her suddenly itchy left shoulder.

"Oyakata-sama, sorry for reproaching. But this mission isn't just about that shitty Kagen, is it?" ask Harada to make sure. Kagaya nodded. Kyojuro.

"That's right, Harada. There is always Jogen Kizuki accompanying him in the Mugen incident" Kagaya replied. Harada sighed softly.

"I'd guess. Muzan and the Jogen are testing Kagen like him."

"Then, are you guys going to take this mission? If you two don't want to, I'll give it to Hideki and Gyomei."

Harada and Kyojuro simultaneously exclaimed if they were going to take on this dangerous mission. Kagaya smiled, and said to keep the two careful. Amane then said that the two could start departing at this time to the station. Harada and Kyojuro nodded slowly, then said goodbye to the husband and wife of the Ubuyashiki clan.

Outside the residence, when Kyojuro was bowing down to greet him before carrying out the mission, Shinobu approached the two. The old purple sliced girl then walked up to the two, then greeted even if only for pleasantries.

But the old purple-sliced girl also asked if Harada and Kyojuro would carry out the same mission. With a spirit that seemed never to be extinguished, the man who unraveled like fire nodded with confidence.

"Kagen and Jogen are in one place, and that makes me excited!" kyojuro said, as if trying to lower Shinobu's curiosity.

"But if the mission is carried out by the two of you, I'm sure everything will be smooth, Rengoku-san," Shinobu said. Harada just smiled faintly.

"Then pray for us, Shinobu."

"Ara, of course Harada-san! Ganbatte ne, Harada-san, Rengoku-san!"

As her two brothers are on a mission this afternoon, Hikari, who is recovering from an injury after fighting former Kagen, now only sees the training being undertaken by Senjuro, Nezuko, Zenitsu and Inosuke of Engawa. Even the twilight unraveling girl was still wearing patient pajamas and zori. A smile expands on Hikari's slightly pale face, feeling a nostalgic sensation as Harada trains her and Hikaru to maintain Full Concentration Breathing all day.

Because Shinobu also said that they were training to maintain it all day. Though actually, the first to start all this commotion were Senjuro and Nezuko. The reason was very simple, as they both belonged to someone who hated defeat.

Hikari glanced back as both of her ears caught a very light footstroke from within. The grass-green girl then looked at the increasingly blue sky, then let out a long sigh, trying to enjoy this temporary calm. Because the grass-green sliced girl knew that the one who approached her from behind was Shinobu, so she could calm down a little. The black haired girl with a deep purple gradation then sat beside Hikari, also looking at the blue sky.

"Did nii-chan take the Mugen train mission, Shinobu-chan?" ask Hikari. Shinobu could only nod.

"Yes, Harada-san has already left early in the morning with Rengoku-san," Shinobu replied. Hikari sighed again, sounding a little scared.

"I hope Rengoku-san won't trouble nii-chan."

"Ara Hikari-chan, it seems like your nightmare is back again and again."

"The "buried feeling came back because of that striped creature, Shinobu-chan. Although many say that I am strong, I still feel weak."

"Then, what if you teach them both, Hikari-chan?"

Shinobu stood up from her sitting position. His always smiling face was still facing Hikari, but his right hand was pointing towards Zenitsu and Inosuke who were training very rowdy. Not to mention Nezuko and Senjuro who encouraged the two. The twilight-haired girl shook her head slowly, and decided to return to the room to rest.

Because even though it seems to be recovering, but Hikari's unstable emotions make the orange-haired girl mentally exhausted. The shadows of a pink-haired demon fighting him and being impressed by his strength were still clearly imprinted. But the most vivid memory was when the demon asked about his elder brother.

The demon who only wore the vest asked as if he would receive something big if it managed to kill Harada, and that again gave him a headache. Even without realizing it, the body of the orange-bending girl was briefly shaken, then captured by a pair of stocky naked arms.

"Thank God it's still time, Hikari-chan," Tengen said.

"T-Tengen, you.."

"Calm down, let me carry it."

From the gazes emitted by the pair of maroon-colored netra in front of him, Hikari knew that Tengen had already understood the worries Hikari had borne. Because although he did not share the orange-haired girl, but thanks to his ability to find information, Tengen is the source of information about the Mugen train, and Tengen also continues to monitor the development of the curse train. Tengen then looked for a chair to sit next to Hikari's bed.

"So, you're dealing with Jogen, but why did he let you go?" ask Tengen. Hikari nodded.

"He said he didn't want to prey on women" Hikari replied.

"Is that why?"

"Yes, I also think he kicked me out to defend his principles. Because after all, I'm still marechi, Tengen."

"Geez, what a unique creature."

"His circumstances are suffocating me, is it possible that nii-chan was able to kill him?"

"Sure, Hikari-chan. He would definitely chop the demon up nicely and crowded!"

Hikari chuckled stiffly with a response from Tengen. He who is too calm and mysterious does require a cheerful bright response like this, because a response like this has made his mind comfortable and calm even if only for a moment. But given that his two dear lives are in grave danger, Hikari still cannot calm down even though her stomach is now severely injured.

It has been about two weeks Harada and Kyojuro gathered information about Mugen trains. Because the train will only transit to the nearest station from headquarters once a month, so both Hashira chose to prepare everything during that deadline. Including his plan, since the presence of two top-tier demons was not something light, even for two Hashira people.

Due to the plan, Harada finally patrolled near the train tracks that would be traversed by Mugen trains later. At least three days Harada camped in this forest, and it made the senses of men unravel the night increased quite rapidly. While on the other hand, Kyojuro got into the carriage due to his own wishes.

Now under the silvery tinge that lit up the cold night sky, Harada was seen yawning widely on a branch of a tree branch overlooking a train track. The wind tonight felt quite cold, as if it were a bad sign of all the silence of this suffocating forest. Like whispering a warning in Harada's ear.

The unraveling man that night turned his head, staring at the twinkling star-studded sky. If Harada was watching the sky carefully, Mugen's train should have rolled off the station by now, and Kyojuro had already boarded.

Kasugai's afternoon, Kara, reported that Nezuko and the others will participate in this mission. Between joy or confusion, Harada just sighed as usual. He now hopes that Nezuko, Senjuro, Zenitsu and Inosuke will become meaningful reinforcements for him at this time.

So that indirectly, they can reduce the burden that Kyojuro will bear. Although the fire-haired man could be said to be very strong, but the resilience and patience that Kyojuro had was not as good as Harada's. Especially when it comes to fighting a powerful demon, Kyojuro tends to forget what he had planned beforehand.

The grass green netra slightly widened when his nose smelled a stark foul scent. If Harada was serious, the tall, well-built man could tell if there were two scents approaching her. One was a very foul scent, and another was like the scent of a tree struck by lightning during the rain.

Harada silently grasped his nichirin handle. The black-haired man sharpened his fighting instinct. The man made green grass and then turned around, then immediately unsheathed his nichirin when he felt something was coming. Just a few seconds away, the clang of two nichirin blades rang out loud, filling the suffocating silence of the forest. The sound of nichirin constantly clashing sounded very wild and loud.

Harada went back into the forest. When he realized who was fighting nichirin with him, the two green grass netra immediately patterned. The emerald-colored bead was now faced with a sky blue sliced bead and a black sclera, complete with fierce eyes like a starving tiger.

"It's not wrong that Akaza-sama brought me here! I found the strongest Hashira here!" the black-haired devil. Harada's back teeth immediately collided.

"I thought you were coming, Kaigaku," said Harada. Kaigaku grinned and attacked wildly, though his attacks succeeded in breaking Harada.

"Heh, you're acting like you know me, stupid Hashira!"

"You were the one who nearly removed Himejima Gyomei's head and made Kuwajima Jigoro commit seppuku. Am I wrong?"

"Fuck up! Killed you!"

The attack Kaigaku gave off looked increasingly brutal, but it also seemed messy in Harada's eyes. So that the man with a height of almost 2 meters could easily break the attack Kaigaku had placed on him.

The demon with the black sclera now looks frustrated. But when she intends to levitate one of her breathing techniques, Kaigaku is unwittingly kicked right in the face by Harada. So that the demon with a physical age of about 20 years was bounced a few meters because of it, although in the end, Kaigaku was caught by someone with a foul aroma.

Harada briefly grinned when she saw the reinforcements coming for Kaigaku. On top of his two eyeballs, imprinted kanji that signified the demon in front of him this was the third uppermoon. This pastel pink haired devil in front of him also grinned, as if carried away by a beautiful and challenging old memory.

"Ho, you look a lot like Matsuda. What's your relationship with him?" ask the devil who only wears a vest and balloon pants below the knee.

"I'm his son" Harada replied briefly. The black-haired man was now trying to calm down as possible and was trying to slowly dispel his existence.

"So you're the one who's looking for it huh. What if you become a demon? You're strong, man."

"Huh, don't hope!"

Harada darted towards Akaza and floated a streak of slashes. The pink-haired demon easily fended off Harada's consecutive attacks with his bare hands, and all of that made Harada grin with satisfaction.

The black-haired man had already predicted that Akaza's entire body was as hard as a rock, and this made him not hesitate to fight the slightly feminine-haired demon in front of him. Even because of being too focused, Harada was not aware that the Mugen train, which had been overgrown with live meat, had passed through the forest area where the battle is now.
