"What was...I born for?"
I am a Demon, but for some reason, I become a Demon slayer...
Imagine slaying your kin, just hoping that it will make tomorrow for the better...
Imagine that as Demon, you'll be treated as nothing more than as an Expendable...
The road to Mt. Ohira is quite rough, even when we have the privilege of using horse.
Kasumi herself was afraid of riding horses so she embraces my hips for her life as our horse galloped the rocky road below.
"EEEKKK?!" Kasumi screamed as tears flowing from her eyes
"HANG ON, YOU *********! WE'RE ALMOST THERE!" I shouted and unconsciously curses her cowardice.
True to my word, we finally arrived at the base of Mt. Ohira where several Kakushi's are already stationed and tending the wounds of the injured / maimed Demon Slayers
"Mayuri-sama, Kasumi-sama, we've waited for you" A male kakushi greets us formally.
Unfortunately for Kasumi, she immediately run away to Puke herself. She must have several Land Dizziness after that rough horse ride. Our horse also having foams in it's mouth so it needs 2 get a proper rest.
"Can U just tell us the situation already? I hate wasting time" I asked him.
"I'm so terribly sorry, Mayuri-sama..."
"To hell with formality, so what's the business here?" I asked as Kasumi finally regained her footing.
The Kakushi briefly explains about the current situation to us. So, there's swarms of Demons, roughly 1000 in amount that do surprise attacks on the Demon Slayers during their daily patrol. Countless unnamed DS are being eaten from the initial surprise, while several DS died protecting both Civilians and Kakushi's alike.
"W-what about Yin-kun? He's still alive, isn't he?" Kasumi asked once the Kakushi finished his explanation.
"Yes. Yin Xiao-sama is currently still on the battlefield, supporting the DS that still there"
Fortunately, Kasumi #1 Husband candidate is still alive and kicking. Kasumi heaved a sigh of relief before she said
"Then I must go and-"
"WAIT" I spoke with heavy tone that surprised both Kasumi and the Kakushi.
"What are you waiting for, Mayuri-chan?! Reinforcements? If we don't hurry, Yin-kun'll die!" Kasumi starts getting mad at me. But, knowing firsthand about group battle, I stick onto my thoughts.
"That's exactly why we should wait. You can't get reckless and dashing to enemy formation without a proper strategy. It's called suicide."
"Khh..." Kasumi attempts 2 protest. But knowing that I'm right, she relents.
"Don't worry, Kasumi-chan. We'll make sure that at the very least... All three of us will survive tonight." I said with grim determination.
And thus, we set out foot onto the meeting room.
(At meeting room)
Inside the meeting room, a hashira with half blue and half white haori is currently giving orders to the Kakushi's. She is Tsumugi Inoue, the Cloud Hashira.
