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

Put your emotions aside, buddy!

Meanwhile, away from the chaos and swearing that filled the atmosphere, Hikari who was leaning on one of the poles on the engawa stuck out her hand and let Kugo land on her wrist.

After three minutes, Kugo flew back and left Hikari with a hardened face. Meanwhile, to his left, both Tengen and Shinjuro seem curious about the news brought by Kugo. Because even though it was lined up, but the position of the three was now far enough to eavesdrop on the whispers between Kasugai and Demon Hunters, even Tengen could only faintly hear it.

"Hikari-chan is? What's up?" tanya Tengen brief. Hikari shook her head, although in the end the twilight-haired girl sighed after being stared at sharply by Tengen.

"The fight has already begun. In accordance with Oyakata-sama's prediction, Muzan pulled everything to his base" Hikari said. Shinjuro on the other hand could only remain silent without commenting.

"so. Means we can only rely on the news from the Kasugai and Oyakata-sama's command."

Hikari nodded with a furrowed forehead. Even though the orange-haired girl had equipped almost all of Hashira and some other members like Genya, Nezuko or Ryunato, but her fear of Kisatsutai's defeat really made her head hurt. Not that Hikari did not trust those who advanced into the battlefield. But his instincts say that this madness will be full of surprises that are completely unexpected.

As far as the eye could see there was only Shoji's door that kept appearing in front of him, even the walls and floors here were no different from Shoji's. In addition, there are actually quite a number of wide poles starting to appear along with the distance that both travel. But behind the details that are quite boring, there are only two things that make Harada careless. First he is somehow separated from Hideki and Ryunato.

Then the second problem was, there was always a lowly demon interfering with his journey and Hikaru. Though either himself or his sister just kept running forward. As both of his eyes continued to observe the situation and his nose was in a state of full alert, Harada suddenly stopped running and spread out both of his hands, gesturing for Hikaru who was behind him to stop. Hikaru reflexes frowned.

"Nii-chan, what's wrong?" ask Hikaru. Harada held her nichirin handle.

"Thin' thin. But someone is approaching" Harada replied.

The honey-brown man stuck his back with his brother's back. Her rough hands also now held her nichirin hilt tightly, worried that the figure that came to the two came to bake her brother. But as Hikaru increasingly felt Jogen's presence from the front of his brother, the black-haired man stood in front of his brother with the unsheathed nichirin.

To be honest Harada was a little surprised by Hikaru's reaction. Although there was one thing that made him more surprised, namely the demonic figure that approached these sisters. Especially with the face and numbers printed on the eyes of the devil who is now walking closer, which is a sign if this demon is Jogen no Ichi aka the First Uppermoon.

The demon had white-haired one-sided braided, and his braid was kept on the right shoulder. The two demonic irises are light blue, and the top is also marked if he is Jogen no Ichi. Behind the left and right hand parts of his light blue kimono, there was a whip hanging out of the kimono.

The demon in front of Harada is also seen carrying a sword on his left waist, and this makes Harada stray so bored facing the demons who arm themselves with sharp weapons. But despite all that, the thing that made Harada and Hikaru surprised was only one, which was the resemblance of this demon to Hideki.

"Well, I found a strong man like him" said the demon. Harada's wide forehead wrinkled, while Hikaru could not hide his surprise.

"Yes my. It's a good thing Baka Kori wasn't here" Harada murmured. The snow-covered devil tilted his head.

"uh? Kori Baka? Who do you mean, Arashi Bashira?"

Harada slightly chuckled as the demon in front of her instead called it an official title, when it should be that the demon before her was aware of her true identity. Harada gave the code with an eye on Hikaru, and at that very instant, the sisters disappeared from the demon's sight to attack the white-haired demon from a different direction.

But with incredible hand speed, the demon caught the hands of Harada and Hikaru, then threw the two in different directions. Harada who was still in the air twisted her body, then restrained her entire body with both feet.

Just a few seconds away, the tall and sturdy man again darted towards the demon similar to Hideki, then without hesitation Harada kicked the right waist of the demon to bounce. But as a demon, of course it was nothing, so he easily got back up as if nothing had happened.

"Your feet are strong. It really reminds me of someone" the demon said casually.

"Oi baka! You better introduce yourself first, your face is a bitch to know!" sahut Hikaru's. Harada nodded.

"If you want to know my name, then you have to guarantee that you will give a decent fight."

"Just calm. Neither me nor my sister over there are ordinary people."

"Is that? Alright. Then, my human name is Date Hiroaki. After becoming a demon, I became known as Fukuro."

Both of Harada's beads were rounded, while Hikaru, who saw her brother's response like that without hesitation came forward to attack Hiroaki without any breathing techniques. After a moment of urging the white-bladed demon, Hiroaki finally drew out his sword and clashed with Hikaru.

On the other hand, Harada who was still digesting all the information that Hiroaki said, combined with his old memories of the stories that Yoshinori had delivered the other day, finally came to a painful conclusion. Date Hiroaki used to be a Demon Hunter, and he was also Yoshinori's best companion. His uncle used to tell him that he also had children.

Harada throbs in annoyance, then darts to join in attacking Hiroaki even without breathing techniques. Because in fact, Harada was curious about the ability of this one demon, which since he was still alive as a human being, continued to be hailed by his uncle. Harada who saw Hikaru slightly off guard charged into the middle of the fight.

The grass-green man pushed Hikaru slightly, then clashed with Hiroaki for a few minutes until the two took their distance again. The most profitable thing is, Harada can follow Hiroaki's fast and sharp movements even though it is quite shaken, so that the Hurricane Hashira is still not hurt in the slightest.

"You're great. Say who you are" said Hiroaki.

Harada and Hikaru smiled, and nodded after exchanging glances. The brothers were still clashing swords with Hiroaki, until the edges of the white-haired demon widened its eyes in shock at the sudden sandstorm. Hiroaki sharpened his senses without caring about his kimono being slowly torn apart. The white-haired devil smiled, feeling that his fun had just begun, especially when the face of a man who was very similar to this Hurricane Hashira appeared just like that by itself.

"Hikaru, retreat!"

Harada pulled Hikaru's collar from behind and jumped back as soon as possible. But it was not only this demonic breathing technique that shocked him. But also with the debris around Hiroaki freezing, and this makes the room temperature drop dramatically. If Kairi turned into a snow cat demon or something, then this one male demon, could be said to be a strongest nightmare-bearer demon. He even managed to kick Kokushibo from the throne of Jogen no Ichi which he had held for almost five centuries.

Harada blatantly praised Hiroaki, and said that the scarlet that the demon had created reminded him of someone. The white-browed demon raised next to his brows, curious about the intent of Harada's words. The man made green grass and then said if he was sure of the origin of the ability of his first student came from where.

"But you will end up in our hands, Hiroaki. I won't let my students meet you" Harada said. Hiroaki.

"So that guy also fell here, yeah. Too bad. Though I wanted to meet him," replied Hiroaki who looked half-meaning. On the other hand, Hikaru was annoyed not being overcast.

"Don't hope, you devil suck! Jigoku no Kokyu, Hachi no Words: Tanken no Kusangada!"

Hikaru jumped up and swung his nichirin curving down. Hiroaki resisted Hikaru's attack easily and threw the honey-brown man in any direction. Just a few seconds away, the light blue sliced demon again had to deal with Harada and his nichirin who had gilded black flames.

The green sliced man clashed swords with Hiroaki for a few minutes until the sound of a gun bursting in the room. Harada's spring grass-colored bead reflected the snow-covered demon that shot from the left temple, making it stop for a few seconds.

Both Hikaru and Harada moved quickly by slashing both hands and trying to decapitate Hiroaki from two different sides. Nichirin, the brothers have also been flashing with black flames. But in accordance with his title, Harada knows that Hiroaki's regeneration ability is above Kokushibo, or almost equivalent to Muzan, even with this one technique.

With his neck clamped by two nichirins, Hiroaki stretched out his two regenerated hands. Harada who felt dejavu with that position pushed her nichirin with all her might to push out Hikaru's nichirin, and pulled back the collar of her sister's uniform from behind to dodge.

"Kekkijutsu: Koryu no Hoko."

Along with the completion of Hiroaki uttering his sentence, a huge explosion centered on him was created. Not only was it an explosion, but many ice spears were appearing and spreading out in all directions. Harada and Hikaru, who are required to overcome this madness despite being constantly driven by powerful explosions, move to protect each other from the ice spears that keep coming.

Even because of this, Harada and Hikaru pushed up one of the walls and made the back and the back of the head both have to meet a large black pole. After that crazy technique, it took a while for the brothers to realize that they had become a wall breaking tool by Hiroaki.

"Oh, Michi-sensei, hisashiburi. Looks like you're having fun even though you're in trouble."

It was Hiroaki's joyful voice, and it was what made Harada wake up for the first time in shock. What did he say? Michi's? Geez, how close is this demon to calling Kokushibo by the abbreviation of his real name? Harada quickly stood up while holding the back of his head, then surprised instead of playing with the situation around. Especially after the dust produced by Hiroaki started to disappear and his view started to clear.

Quite far away from his current position, Harada could see Muichiro lying in an already imperfect body state. Sanemi has also had one very long wound from his chest to his stomach. While Gyomei, despite having a good enough condition to only receive wounds on the face, his hands were decorated with the mark of the Demon Hunters, and this made Harada grimace.

Then near Gyomei, now stands Hideki who looks creepy after his eyes look with Hiroaki. Then quite far from him, adjacent to the position of Muichiro, Hikaru was seen dragging Genya who collapsed after the explosion to safety. Harada smiled slightly as she looked at Hikaru's decision. Then what about her? You could say Harada is in the best condition here, even after a sword fight with Hiroaki, he said, the grass-green sliced man had now only lost his blue haori that was split in two as the white demon in front of him tried to butt him.

"As expected of you, Harada," Gyomei said.

"Heh, I don't want to admit this, but I'm impressed with you, Akechi. Faced with Jogen no Ichi with your sister and just lost the haori, well," Sanemi said.

"Harada, that demon you're dealing with..."

Hideki's words choked when Harada raised her right hand which was still holding nichirin. The grass-green man looked back and stared at everything there one by one, as if signaling caution with Hiroaki.

"City-nii, Sanemi. I knew you guys would never hesitate in a fight, so I handed Kokushibo over to you. Hideki, for your pride, come with me against the white devil there."

Just by the eye movement Harada glared at Hiroaki. Hideki who understood his friend's gesture advanced to the right of the man with a body of almost two meters, then put the horses. Harada patted Hideki's back while glancing at him, and smiled as his white-haired best friend smiled.

"Arigatou, Aibou" Hideki said. Harada nodded.

"Whatever to you, man" replied Harada.

The four Hashira darted towards their respective opponents with fiery gazes. There Hiroaki smiles cynically, feeling that he managed to make Harada break the promise. While Kokushibo returned to focus on dealing with Sanemi and Gyomei, who if he could be honest, it was very troublesome.
