Mugen Train 1

I am ready to go out with a map in my hand. Last night, I got a message from Homura that Oyakata-sama want me to help Rengoku Kyojuro and Senra with a mystery train named Mugen Train. Based on the report I get, a demon is roaming around the station and 40 people disappeared without a trace inside the train. Rengoku defeat it but turns out it was not the one he and Senra looking for.

   "Demon in a train is surely worrisome. I heard all passengers just disappear without any traces." Sakata comes to my room.

   "That's is why I should go as a second hashira in duty." I prepare everything I need and walk to the main door.

   "Naruse feels discomfort when hear you will go there. It took a long time to calm him to sleep." Sakata adds.

All this day, Naruse follow everywhere I go and sometimes forbade me to go outside for multiple reasons. He never is like this before unless he saw something.

Tou-san once say it before, all of us contain special gifts from God.

Not pretty sure about the rest but I know Naruse can see the future when he sleep.

   "Naruse still asleep?" I ask.

   "Yup with Soraru. A few hours ago Soraru sleep on top of Naruse I mean that dude is trying to kill someone with his laziness." Sakata's joke makes me laugh.

But, I wonder if my future is discomforted him. Whatever it is I can not be denied the order that given by Kagaya nii-san himself.

   "I should go know. Don't want my junior to stand too long outside."

   "Be careful on your journey and use them too if you feel tired." Sakata became mischievous again.

   "And that's is why all your junior run away from you." Urata comes back from training. "Don't teach Mafumafu to bully people dude, unless you want to get scolded by Amatsuki again."

Hearing that makes Sakata tremble in fear.

   "...He will not know if you do not tell everything..." Sakata mumbling which Urata shakes his head.

   "Don't hear him and go Mafumafu. It is not worth it." When Sakata hears that, he makes a fuss and is angry at Urata.

Listen to Urata's words I go out and meet Tanjirou in front of my gatehouse together with a boar head boy and an unfamiliar one.

Tanjirou greets me with a smile which I nod happily.

On our journey, Tanjirou introduces me to his friend. The boar head boy's name is Hashibira Inosuke and The yellow hair one is Agatsuma Zenitsu.

In my view, Inosuke is quite wild and wants a sparring battle with hashira which is me. Zenitsu is loud and always argues with Inosuke.

   "Ahhhh! You embarrassing us in front of hashira, you idiot boar!"

That is what Zenitsu says and Inosuke didn't accept those kinds of words and started to attack Zenitsu. Only Tanjirou stays calm and stops both of them from making a scene.

What a weird combination team. But at least they are still in a good term, thanks to Tanjirou.

We finally arrived at the train station.

   "I gonna buy a ticket for all of us so please don't make any scene," Tanjirou and Zenitsu nod while Inosuke didn't.

I leave the trio alone but when I come back, there is a scene and it was none other is the trio. The guard come to them and saw the trio have a sword.

I forget to warn them about the sword.

Thinking the trio is a terrorist or something the guards chasing them. Thank God they manage to run away and hide.

I hurriedly run to them. The trio was shocked at first but once saw me they finally calm down.

   "Sorry for not explaining our situation, we eventually a secret organization across Japan so walking around with a sword is kinda threatening for people." Tanjirou raises his hand but I continue. "Even you explain about the demon and our job, none of them will believe it."

Tanjirou put down his hand and pout. I look behind me and realize the train started moving. I ask them to run and jump at the end of the wagon, the trio does the same.

Before we enter I ask the trio to hide their sword. Inosuke put a sword in his back and show it to us. Zenitsu mad and scold Inosuke for not wearing the cloth.

   "Enough both of you, we need to go inside and look for Rengoku-san." Both of them look down, trembling when saw me mad.

Hm! Think I will not be mad! I'm maybe small and always being called cute but I am also a hashira! Don't underestimate me!

I open the door and go inside together with the trio. Inosuke was excited when looking at the window and Zenitsu grab him.

I saw the old woman try to lift her beg up which I offered for help.

Guess what.

































I'm short.

Kinda embarrassing but I ask Tanjirou for help. The elders thank us, I hurried to go to the next wagon while closing my face with my hand.

   "I wonder where those two sit," I think aloud.

   "Rengoku-san had this gaudy hairstyle, and I remember his scent, too. I think I'll know it's him once we get close." Tanjirou says.

So that is his first impression of Rengoku, but scent? Is he a dog?

Before I open the door, I already hear Rengoku's voice.

   "Found them," I say to myself.

I open the door and the word delicious is heard clearly.

   "Delicious!" Rengoku says again and again and in front of him is Senra who has an annoying face.

   "Is that the Flame Hashira guy? Not just some random glutton?" Zenitsu whispers to Tanjirou's ears but still can be heard by me.

This flame hashira with his big stomach.

Senra saw me and waved which I waved back.

   "Um, ...." Before I can continue Rengoku looks at me and say delicious to my face. "Uh, we get that part already."
