Isekai Mizuki S1 - A World With Demons

Chapter 29 - Murata & Susamaru VS Tengen

Sorry for being so late in publishing. There'll be possibly another delay considering that I'm living at my cousin's for a while longer.

"The next match will be between... Me and Team C! The battle will take place in an artificially made abandoned town," Tengen announces, hopping off of the commentary box. "Ah, crap..." Murata mutters, now concerned for his eardrums. "There go your ears!" says Susamaru.

A few minutes later...

"Begin!" Giyu announced over speaker.

Murata and Susamaru entered a small convenience store, and tried searching the area for anything to help in their fight with the Sound Hashira. Susamaru found something first, the item being a speaker set-up. "A cubed, portable speaker, and a microphone? I'm not sure how, but I know this'll be useful," Susamaru muttered, stuffing them into her pockets.

"I found a stun gun," Murata says, checking out its figure. Susamaru then had a lightbulb moment, and knew how she could end this match. "I think I have a plan that can end this match shortly." Suddenly, loud voices hit the both of them.

"WHERE ARE YOUUUU? COME ONNNN, I DON'T HAVE ALL DAAAAAY..." Tengen asks from a distance, using his breathing magic to amplify his voice's volume. "UGH, THAT'S SO LOUD!" Murata comments, plugging his ears. Susamaru nodded and grinned. "Yep, this is definitely gonna work. Murata, did you bring your phone with you?" Susamaru asks. He nods, and Susamaru mutters "Perfect."

Soon enough, Murata and Susamaru left the store, and went off to find a good place for setup. Tengen had still been yelling, trying to catch his adversaries' attention. "If you won't come to me, then I'll come to YOU!" he yelled as he leapt away from his spot.

"So, Mr. Uzui decided to finally leave his spot. I wonder how Murata and Susamaru will handle this..." Isekai muttered, becoming more perceptive.

Murata and Susamaru had set up the speakers. Murata seemed to have quite the history of rap battles. "...THIS IS A TERRIBLE IDEA! MR. UZUI IS LEGITIMATELY THE BEST RAPPER IN OUR SCHOOL!" Murata said, trying to shut her idea down. Susamaru did the "It's fine, it's fine," expression with her hand. "Come on, it's gonna work!" she said as she noticed him coming, and ran away from the area they used as the stage.

Isekai facepalmed, and Tanjiro, Kanao and Zenitsu questioned what was happening. "...Are they setting up for a rap battle...?" Tanjiro questioned, closing his eyes in slight disbelief. Zenitsu just facepalms, muttering "Susamaru's really stupid..."

Kanao couldn't help but speak her thoughts on this one. "No shaming intended... But I guess it's no wonder that she was second last in the midterms..." Inosuke sighs and stops them. "No, you idiots." Zenitsu just gives him an angry look, and questions his words. "AND WHAT DO YOU KNOW, YA GODDAMN PIG?!"

"If ya got to know Mister Loud Man, then ya'd know that he'd never turn down a chance for a rap battle! And nerdy Murata has a good rap battle history, I'm sure pale girl is gonna find a way to take him out whilst they repeatedly throw burns..." Inosuke explains, opening a water bottle and drinking from it.

Zenitsu just laughs, and replies, "I BET YOU A PLATE OF TEMPURA YOU'RE WRONG!" confidently. Inosuke scoffs, replying with "YOU'RE ON! IF I'M WRONG, I'LL GIVE YOU SALMON!"

Later on, Tengen found the setup. "OOOH! RAP BATTLE?! And it's against... Murata!" he exclaimed as he leapt up and crashed onto the stage. "AAAH! Oh, Mr. Uzui. Let's uh... rap battle!" Murata suggested, doubting this worked. To his surprise, Tengen agreed. "We should be fighting, but, eh, whatever."
