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

Bumping Mentari

Dreamtime

Harada's wide forehead wrinkled, and slowly both of her eyelids displayed a pair of grass-green beads that looked mellow. When both of her irises rolled to the right and to the left, she was quite confused by a few things.

First, instead of being on a mattress or in a coffin, now the tall young man was on the ground. The emerald-colored bead can see the blue sky with white clouds slowly moving above. Even every inch of his skin could feel an extremely gentle gust of wind caressing his body. Harada closed her eyes to enjoy the wind.

When looking to the right and to the left, Harada could see that he was now asleep on the grass whose color rivaled his eyes. Harada decided to roll among this very green grass. The young man tilted his body to the right, and inhaled the scent of fresh grass that filled his lungs.

His nose was chuckled when he realized someone had come to him. Harada quickly got up from her position and immediately sat down. Both of his grass green beads had been rounded when he only wore plain white jinbei at this time. Has he actually moved nature? No one knows, but Harada thinks that he has not moved to nature at this time, and is only in a situation between life and death.

From a distance, the green bead of grass can see three people at once, against the background of a white sand beach and a light blue sea, which looks almost transparent at a glance. They were all long-haired and pigtailed. They also wear black hakama, but with different kimonos and haori.

One of them did not wear a haori, and showed a geometrically patterned black kimono in purple. While the rest wear dark red haori and also dark blue haori users with some crane motifs in various places.

"I told you, if you don't have to come!"

"Be quiet, you little stake!"

The last sentence was uttered by the black-haired man and pigtailed. The man casually clinched his comrade's head, while Harada and the scarlet-headed man only looked at it with a puzzled expression. Though deep in his heart, Harada had suspected that the man with the dark blue color was an important person.

"Sorry to interrupt your quarrel, but who are you?" asked Harada innocently. His sitting position is now cross-legged upright. The man in the red color was laughing.

Whether the man in black kimono or the man in blue, they both looked at Harada for a moment and returned to blame each other. The dark red-haired man, who also had a fire mark on his face, let out a long breath when he saw the mannerisms of these two people who had come along with him.

"The black kimono is my twin sister, Tsugikuni Michikatsu. Then that dark blue haori was Akechi Sojuro, the creator of Hell Breathing. Then I'm Tsugikuni Yoriichi, creator of the Sun's Breathing."

The old red-haired man introduced all those who came with him in a row. While on the other hand, Harada was currently very shocked. Because in his mind, if the black-haired young man had already met his ancestor, it meant that he was dead. Especially if you have met Akechi Sojuro.

"Did I die because I lost a lot of blood?" ask Harada clumsy. Sojuro and Michikatsu stop their debate, then approach Harada. At least parallel to Yoriichi.

"I'm sorry about that, because I'm also sorry about my stupid choice. Then you're not dead yet" Michikatsu replied.

"Eat I call you blind, after all Michi!"

"You want to die, Akechi Sojuro?"

"You two shut up!"

Yoriichi called out that last sentence out loud. Whether Sojuro or Michikatsu, the two are now seen sitting cross-legged quietly in front of Harada. Yoriichi let out a long sigh, as if lamenting his fate of being the saneest among the three of them.

While on the other hand, Harada chuckled stiffly with a hint of cold sweat slid down her forehead. Between being amazed by the presence of the ancestors, and also not being able to think with the behavior of his own ancestors. But could this be the reason why his father could be so relaxed? Because in his eyes, Akechi Sojuro was truly a relaxed old man.

Yoriichi then said that his arrival was to reduce the side effects of various events. Next to Harada's eyebrows. The black-haired youth was confused and felt interested in the topic that Yoriichi was going to discuss.

"Your instinct is always to say that you can protect someone, am I right?" ask Yoriichi. Harada nodded.

"Since then, and since that incident," Harada replied. His pair of emerald beads could see Yoriichi staring at his twin sister very sharply.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry" Michikatsu said. Yoriichi let out a long breath.

"So the reason I pulled you here is because you need more power to fight Muzan."

"You've mastered the advanced technique of the tenth technique, meaning you're the one chosen from the Akechi clan. Even I can't do that, Harada-kun."

Harada could only smile awkwardly. Michikatsu also looks the most awkward there, as his body is now overpowered by a figure born from his decision to become a demon. Sojuro now decided to sit to the left of Harada, then clasped the young man's left hand.

On the other hand, Harada was currently rounding her two eyes. Because right now, Sojuro is actually channeling a lot of energy to him. Yoriichi throws an apple at Harada. The young man caught him. The old red-haired man then told Harada to eat the apple.

"Calm down, it's non-toxic" Yoriichi said. Harada nodded.

The black-haired young man ate his apple hesitantly. When the young man appeared to be emerald-colored, feeling that this apple was not problematic, Harada could feel the power flowing within him. Harada looked at Yoriichi for a moment. The red-haired old man explained that he gave Harada the vitality he had.

The black-haired youth widened his eyes, feeling shocked and also disbelieving with all this madness. Michikatsu added that the apple also contains its vitality when it was still a human. Harada nodded slowly, then tried to finish the apple alone.

In fact, Harada does not like apples. But showing it to a Yoriichi classmate can destroy her self-esteem. There really is nothing special about Yoriichi's apple. But after 15 minutes of waiting, Harada felt that something was rushing through his body.

When Harada's emerald-colored bead met Yoriichi's eyes, the red-haired man smiled very thinly. As if satisfied with Harada's reaction that was too quiet. The red-haired man approached Harada and sat down beside her right. For a while Yoriichi stared fixedly at Harada, as if unwilling to ignore a single reaction.

"Are you holding back your reaction, Harada?" ask Yoriichi. Harada shakes.

Yoriichi smiled faintly. His decision to go with Sojuro was not in vain. Because right now, Yoriichi really likes the calm that Harada has. Both of his eyes found Yoriichi doing some pretty complicated hand gestures. But after the red-haired man finished, Harada immediately turned his back in shock. Because he had lost his footing, and fell into a hole full of blinding light.

Dream End

Even though he could not see, Gyomei at least knew that Harada still did not wake up. Though this was already the seventh day since the battle with Muzan and Kokushibou, and all these facts made the spiky black-haired youth shed tears. Yue Yang saw that by accident holding Gyomei's right shoulder from behind.

The big-bodied young man looked back, then smiled gently. Gyomei rubbed the back of Yue's hand for a moment, before the girl continued her heavily piled up work.

In addition to being given a mission to hunt demons, the Tsumori sisters must also take care of the butterfly mansion and take care of the injured members. This begins when Kagami Kochou mysteriously disappears, and makes himself and his sister have to lead here for a while. Because in addition to mind control techniques, Tsumori clan members are also famous as talented healers.

Next to Gyomei's black eyebrows raised. Capitalizing on his invisibility, the tall young man knew that this person nearby would soon wake up. For a moment Gyomei exited the room, intending to find one of the two brothers. When he finds out about Ui's existence, Gyomei immediately tells him that Harada will wake up soon. Ui looked excited and immediately headed towards the room where Harada was lying.

When the two of them reached the room, Ui found Harada smiling at her and Gyomei. Ui swiftly inspected Harada. While the concerned now smiled faintly, trying to remain friendly.

"Hara-nii, please don't force yourself" Ui said. Harada nodded slowly.

"Rest, Harada-san. I hope the gods will always protect you" Gyomei said briefly.

Harada nodded slowly. His body was unwilling to cooperate with his current instincts, making the black-haired young man slowly fall back asleep. Gyomei who was aware of Harada's situation again stabilized smiled faintly, then rubbed Harada's head gently. His existence made Gyomei remember the children he cared for alone in the temple the other day. At least by joining the kisatsutai, Gyomei again felt complete after being hit by some heavy trials without mercy.

Two Weeks Later

Both Ui and Yue were stunned by Harada's rapid recovery. Because within 12 days, Harada was able to return to his residence. On the seventh day Kagaya visited him, and told Harada to take his piled up cut.

If totaled, at least Harada has had a leave of absence of 3 months. But because it was only him and Kagaya, Harada confirmed that he would only take a week off. Kagaya could only sigh slowly, as the black-haired youth knew what was on Harada's mind.

The grass-green sliced youth did not want to let people feel the sorrow caused by the demons, and Harada's mindset was only known by a Kagaya. Although it seems too cliche, but that's the reality. Thank the uppermoons and Muzan who had corrupted the Akechi clan several years ago, so Harada is currently overprotective.

Now on this pretty sunny day, Harada can finally do what she really wants to do. The grass green sliced youth also invited Hikaru to come along. Hikari was astonished, but the orange-haired girl finally understood what her two brothers were going to do.

Hikaru and Harada take a break at Hikari, and rush to their destination, the Rengoku Residence. Hikaru also happens to be on holiday at the moment, so both of them are wearing kimono and hakama at the moment. Unlike usual, Harada is now back in zori sandals because she feels her holiday will be much more relaxed.

It takes at least half an hour to walk around in a leisurely manner. Harada immediately closed her nose when she smelled sake. On the other hand, Hikaru looked astonished. This was the first time the honey-brown young man had seen a man who was old enough and hated the smell of sake.

Both enter the gate. But just a few steps, a bottle of sake floated in front of Harada's face very quickly. The tall, sturdy young man caught him, then stared ahead. Right in front of him, Shinjuro was sitting on the terrace. His expression looked surprised. But on the other hand, Harada could still feel an indifferent aura that she was very unfamiliar with. The Shinjuro Rengoku that Harada knew was not a man transformed into this kind of burden.

Harada tells Hikaru to take care of Kyojuro and Senjuro. While the young man who was still quite pale approached Shinjuro, then sat down beside him. Although Harada's anger was currently peaking, the black-haired young man decided to control it. Shinjuro would not be able to deal with violence anyway, and Harada understood this very well.

"You dimmed, Shin Ji-chan," Harada said. Shinjuro chuckling.

"Then what do you want from me, Harada? Are you gonna make fun of me?" ask Shinjuro. Harada shook her head slowly.

"Amaterasu will not be present if there is no fire. Fire will also not be present without amaterasu. Shin Ji-chan, don't be ashamed to show your sadness. Whether it's Kyojuro or Senjuro, I'm sure they understand. After all, why can my eyes, Hikaru sun, Kyojuro sun and Senjuro sun be this dim? Is the cloud too thick, or may the sun be all those who have been sad for too long?"

Shinjuro did not dwell at all. His anger that was raised because of the arrival of Harada was immediately extinguished. The fire-haired man rounded his eyes that were as color as honey. While her lower lips were now shaking violently, and slowly but surely, tears of sadness were back on Shinjuro's cheeks after a long time.

Harada reflexively hugged Shinjuro, then patted the back of the fire-bending man. Shinjuro cried loudly in Harada's arms. The kiss could catch Hikaru, Kyojuro and Senjuro peeking behind a slightly exposed fusuma.

"I'm sorry I just visited you, Ji-chan. But you know the condition of Kisatsutai now. Even before your departure, the one who filled the position of the pillar was only me and Kagami-san besides you," Harada said.

The black-haired youth could feel if Shinjuro shook his head in his arms. The man also said that the mission is more important than him. Shinjuro broke free from the black-haired young man's embrace. Harada smiled softly, and her gaze was also now very dear.

"Please take good care of your children. Even Hikaru rejected Hashira Fire's position just because of you, ji-chan," Harada said.

"Really?" ask Shinjuro. Harada nodded.

"He thinks only Kyojuro is worthy of the position."

Shinjuro is back. Several times he stared at Harada and the scene in front of him in turn. But the way Harada treated her, all of this really reminded her of Matsuda the other day.

"Your memories are very typical, huh," Shinjuro said. Harada looked at him with a slightly confused face.

"What do you mean, Shin Ji-chan?" asked Harada in a plain tone. Shinjuro shakes.

"You and your father are exactly the same. Whether it's protecting someone, or comforting someone, it's the same."
