The Journey Of Revenge

Chapter 17

Tanjirou and co were sitting in one of the seats of the train. It's gotten dark outside, so the transporter will start to move any moment now.

The time they bought the ticket, they also bought some food with them, which Inosuke and Zenitsu were happily gulping down, while Tanjirou was paying attention and scanning the carriage now that it's night time.

Ever since he boarded the train, he had an unsettling feeling for some reason. Another thing is, he smelled a dense scent of blood around all the carriage of the train, which is disturbing him.

"Hey, Tanjirou, lower your guard down a little, will you? You're making me tense, too." Zenitsu said, as he chewed on onigiri that they bought.

"Mind your own business." Tanjirou said without any malice.

Because of that, Zenitsu simply shrugged it off as Tanjirou's usual cold attitude.

"But I haven't seen the Flame Hashira here, though. Well, I don't know how he looks, but there's no one standing among the people on this train."

While eating and arguing with Inosuke, Zenitsu was still paying attention and observing the carriage. He has not yet seen anyone strong enough for him to assume as Hashira. Moreover, there's no one wearing their uniform here except for themselves.

"Really? I feel like I felt a rather strong presence here like ten minutes ago? I dunno." Inosuke butted in.

Well, Inosuke's sensation were rather sharp ever since. If he really felt like that, then both Tanjirou and Zenitsu came up with conclusion at this point on.

The Flame Hashira had already boarded the train. Maybe he's in a different carriage, but it's no doubt that he's here.

"Should we look for him?" Zenitsu asked.

"Although it would be a good idea to meet him now, let's wait until the train has begun to depart."

"Huh?! Isn't it better to meet him now than later?! Are you an idiot Monjiro?!" You know who said that.

"Shut up, boar. Tanjirou had already met the Flame Hashira, so he knows the guy more than us. He probably has a reason."

'Reason, my ass... Don't make me look like a shrewd person. I don't have significant reason.'

In just a few minutes, the train started to move. Inosuke was pretty startled with it, as he looked around in panicked.

"W-what's happening!" He asked in a loud voice.

"Calm down, you idiot! Nothing bad will happen!"

Zenitsu hit him on the head as he said those, and apologized to the people in the carriage.

Yeah, nothing bad will happen, all right.

As the train moves faster and faster each second, our boar's confused and panicked feelings turned into excitement as he started banging the window glass of the carriage.

"HAHAHAHAHA! What the hell is this! This is pretty fun!"

Zenitsu and Tanjirou coul only sigh and didn't even bother getting themselves involved with him anymore. Well, Tanjirou didn't really care, bjt Zenitsu was pretty embarrassed by Inosuke's shenanigans.

"This thing is faster than my deer at Shinobu's place! HAHAHAHAHA!"

And so, their time continued like that, with Zenitsu keeping an eye and looking out for Inosuke, and Tanjirou, being calm and collected as always.

It lasted for at least 30 minutes, before Tanjirou opened his eyes, and the other two gaetting wary all of a s sudden. The redhead boy and Zenitsu pulled out their katana from behind their haori, and placed in on their waist.
