Chapter 18
HYDRANGEAS

Just then, in Ubuyashiki's Manor, an emergency Hashira meeting was held.

"Hmph, I envy you guys. Why can't I bump into Uppermoons?" The Wind Hashira complained to which the Serpent Hashira replied; "It's not like people bump to them everyday." He turned his attention to the two other Hashira.

"That aside, how are you two faring?"

'He was worried about me!' Misturi beamed delightfully. "I'm feeling a lot better!"

"I'm still not at full strength yet.." Muichiro solemnly replied to which you gently grabbed his hand and squeezed it covertly. He gently squeezed it back in return, a small smile making its way to his face.

"You two did recover abnormally fast, did anything happen?" The Insect Hashira curiously looked over to the two.

"If we lose more Hashira, the corps will be in trouble. However, defeating two Uppermoons without any casualties is very noble indeed." The Stone Hashira spoke up, to which you agreed with a nod. "I was so worried when I heard there were the two of them."

"The Master probably wants to discuss this matter with us." The Water Hashira added with his usual solemn expression.

"For today's Hashira meeting, I, Ubuyashiki Amane will attend in place of Ubuyashiki Kagaya. For his sickness has gotten worse, he was unable to attend." The Master's wife, along with two other children bowed in a form of apology.

The atmosphere in the room turned tense in just a few seconds. You frowned upon hearing her words, worry gnawing inside your chest. Himejima was the first to speak up, giving his best regards and offering words of encouragement to Lady Amane, who returned her thanks in courtesy.

"Now that there's a demon who can conquer the sun has appeared, Kibutsuji Muzan will change his goal and go after her, so that he can conquer the sun himself. The time for an all-out war is approaching."

"I was also reported about the strange marks appearing on Lady Kanroji and Lord Tokito during their battle." The white-haired woman politely asked the two for the conditions to obtain the marks. She proceeded to tell everyone about the marks Hashira from the Sengoku era had possessed. The Wind Hashira claimed he hasn't heard anything about such marks, to which Lady Amane answered that said information can be dangerous if someone tries to obtain them.

She then proceeds to show everyone her research. "So please inform us with your knowledge, Lord Tokito and Lady Kanroji."

"O–okay...! Back then, my body was super light and it was like BADAMM BAMM BAMM and also my heart went BOOM DURRR and my ears went SCRRRR!! TINKLE TANKLE too!" Everyone looked at her in confusion, and silence ensued. Misturi bowed, hiding her flushed face.

"I apologise! I would go hide inside a hole if there's one right now..!"

In an attempt to save your Master's grace, you spoke up meekly. "Uhm..! I think Master meant that her heartbeat was very fast and her ears were ringing...it might also mean that her speed increased, I think we can conclude that it boosted her physical abilities..." You trailed off, feeling everyone's curious eyes on you, urging you to continue, you squeaked with an equally flushed face.

"Er—that's all I could understand..."

Muichiro smiled fondly at the sight before joining in. "I wasn't aware of any marks. However, I will tell you guys the changes that I was aware of."

Muichiro explained when he was poisoned, he couldn't move so he was using the breathing technique to solve down the poison. "But a boy who tried to save me lost his life, my old memories came back and I got so angry I lost control of my emotions."

"I think my heart rate went over 200bpm, and my body became burning hot. I think my temperature went over 39 degrees." Shinobu seemed surprised at his answer, questioning how he can move in that condition. Muichiro explained the time when he got a fever, the temperature was pretty similar as the temperature he felt during the battle.

Lady Amane seems to be lost in thought.

"Tch, that simple?" Sanemi speaks in a condescending tone, to which Giyuu replied, claiming how envious he is towards the Wind Hashira for having such a simple mind. Both the Wind Hashira and the Serpent Hashira glared at him

"Hah?"

"It's nothing."

The rest of the meeting went in a blur. Giyuu stood up, getting ready to leave. Sanemi attempted to invite him to join the discussion, followed by Iguro joining in, however the Water Hashira refuses, further agitating the two.

The situation escalated.

'Are they going to fight here?! Really?!' you worriedly looked over to the two, head peeking out from Muichiro's shoulder as your Master attempted to defend Giyuu from Sanemi's scary temper.

CLAP

You squealed in surprise, latching onto Muichiro who looked as surprised as you. The Stone Hashira successfully caught everyone's attention.

"Let's discuss this matter further, I have a proposition..."

"Hashira training?" You rubbed your chin thoughtfully. "It seems useful, especially for lower ranks. I don't have objections." You nod with a smile. Some of them agreed with you, while others stayed quiet, showing that they also had no objections.

Himejima rubbed his praying hands,

"Then..."

A special training soon began, it was called 'Hashira Training'. Those who rank lower than Hashira train with them one by one.

'Hashira do not have time for such things usually, however ever since Kamado Nezuko had conquered the sun, demons stopped appearing...' Just thinking about the implications of it made you nervous.

"War is approaching...let's be brave, (Name)."
