Rimuru's Journey In Kny
19. Mugen Trains
"Rengoku Kyoujurou, Oyakata-sama has given the kwakk mission, kwakk go to the station to eradicate....... "
"Eh?"
~~
Everyone there was silent as the crow spoke, although the manner of speech was a bit strange but the animals were still animals, even though they could speak still some were not well absorbed. They all stopped the activity of just listening to the message without anyone excepting.
Rimuru holds her head with her right hand while the other hand is bent, placed behind the other. Rimuru does not need to sharpen its ears just to listen to the words that come out of the mouth of a bird. Not at all.
With a vision of his future, he knew what was going to happen. Squinting his eyes looked at Kyoujurou, trying to find a solution in the future.
TAKKS
The sound of the spoon hitting the porcelain plate was loud, the bird was silent no longer continued his words, although honestly the crow was annoyed because his words had to be cut off.
Animals have feelings, right?
"Hey.... Back to your nest now"
Although the word was pointed at the crow. But, his eyes were fixed on Kyoujurou. Meanwhile, Kyoujurou only looked down to hide her red face. Who wouldn't be nervous if being stared so intensely by a woman? Moreover, this woman is very beautiful.
Giyuu looked on with a hint of jealousy, clearing his throat for a while to normalize the atmosphere. The crow obediently followed Rimuru's words, leaving from there with a slightly irritated heart, his existence like it was not considered, was it because he was an animal? In that case, if there was magic to change the shape, he wanted to have the shape of a handsome man to make Rimuru fall for him.
Forget the unreal ideals in the heart of the crow, we better return to the place of eating filled with tense atmosphere of Rimuru.
"Sensei, why did you throw him out? " Obanai looked at the confused Rimuru, wouldn't it be that if any information should be listened to carefully, why should it be ignored?
"Because I already know. So, I'm going to talk about this with Kyoujurou, just the two of you"
They nodded their heads in understanding, Rimuru could be said to be the superior of Kagaya, so it wouldn't hurt if he knew all the missions for the demon hunters and it wouldn't hurt if he leaked it to the demon hunters.
"Kyoujurou after lunch meet me in the back garden"
"Good, sensei"
Giyuu just snorted dislikely, he who first liked Rimuru, blamed himself for not being deft in taking women's hearts.
Lunch again done with wisdom, after completion they immediately go to their respective activities, including Veldora.

Kyoujurou's feet stepped on the path, the night did not scare him, the lack of people did not make him tremble, staring at his surroundings with a look of caution and anxiety.
"Rengoku-sama"
A man in a kakushi uniform called out to him, he came closer to him about to report something.
"I have word that the mugen train is not currently in operation, it is currently in maintenance"
Kyoujurou narrowed his eyes, his hearing focused.
"I also heard rumors that in a few days the train will be re-run, whether or not I will investigate again"
"Oh! One more thing, I get information if recently found the body of the conductor on the train"
Kyoujurou was still silent, in his heart he felt happy, all the information had already reached him first through his teacher. But, the mugen train will be operating in a few days and that is not a mere rumor. Not at all.
The kakushi looked at Kyoujurou's back in silence and then his eyes turned to the small bag that Kyoujurou was wearing on his waist. Kakushi was curious to ask. But that's not a polite attitude.
Kyoujurou who was sensitive to the situation stopped his steps, he turned to look at kakushi in front of him. The kakushi reflex stopped moving his legs, staring confusedly at his boss.
"What's up, Rengoku-sama? "
"Did anything make you curious? "
"That's..... Sorry for my indecision, I'm very curious about what you bring" he said, bowing his head in respect. Although afraid, but the human curious instinct can not be stopped.
"This is a gift from my teacher"
"Your teacher? "
"Yes. Inside there are 5 items with 2 different types, I know the other uses. But, for the other one I don't understand"
"So apparently, thank you for answering my curiosity"
"Um! "
Kyoujurou turned back and walked back. Rumors of Hashira being trained by a powerful teacher rang out throughout the demon hunters.
The name and residence of the teacher are kept secret, no one knows the appearance of the master of the Hashira, there are even rumors that he is the superior of Kagaya.
Imagining that the kakushi shuddered in horror, that person must be very strong, misbehavior may be his life could be threatened. The kakushi shook his head, breaking his negative daydreams, if one day he gets a chance to meet her, it's his lucky day.
Kyoujurou smiled faintly, he knew what the kakushi was thinking behind him, in his heart he grimaced a little considering how cruel his teacher beat him and his friends until someone was seriously injured or fainted.
"Bright.... It was a terrible day" inner kyoujurou broke out in cold sweat.
"Let's check the station where the conductor's body was found"
"Good! "

Kyoujurou's footsteps rang out loudly, the still-deserted station being an opportunity for merchants to begin preparing their wares.
"There is no devil! "
Kyoujurou and the kakushi turned their heads, the voice of a child sounding like a snarl. Feeling curious, he approached a pair of women of different ages.
"Talk about the devil! Please stop, 'cause we have to sell bento"
"Because mom's belly is already big, and sales in dad's cafe are on the decline" he continued
"You don't have to worry about adult affairs" The only person over half a century old said softly.
"Good night! It's a beautiful night, isn't it? I came here looking for the devil" said Kyoujurou who suddenly appeared in front of the little boy.
The girl stood up, stretching out her arms to protect the old woman behind her. His body trembled slightly, but he did not hesitate to come forward if this man before him did such a strange thing.
"Devil? Why did you suddenly say that? " the little boy asked still with his position
As Kyoujurou approached, the girl threw the bread in her hand over Kyoujurou. Kyoujurou happily ate the bread while beaming. Food should not be thrown away for free.
"Relax Fuku, she must not be a bad person" the grandmother calmed the little boy named Fuku.
"I'm sorry" Fuku looked down, showing a guilty look.
"It's okay, I won't let people like you get hurt, thanks for your hard work" Kyoujurou said
Not yet had he stepped on the fourth leg, Fuku called out to him while carrying a tray containing bento and some other food. He offered his bento to Kyoujurou.
"Then I'll buy everything! "

TUTT'S....
The sound of the train leaving sounded its horn. Kyoujurou chose a carriage for himself to sit in. The train that was still quiet made itself free to think about strategy.
Look at the little bag the teacher gave her, then pick it up. He knows what's in it but still he always wants to see it. Every time he opened the bag, he was presented with a rainbow color that radiated briefly and disappeared.
At first he was surprised to throw away the bag, until over time the shock turned into deep admiration. The rainbow was beautiful for a while. The shape of the bag is also a little different, he does not need to wrap a cloth bag in general, you can open it just by pulling a zipper or something, he does not know the mention.
He closed the bag again, and put it back on his waist. Staring at the window that displays the beauty of the night and the atmosphere of the forest. From the opposite direction was a conductor in charge of inspecting each carriage of the train.
The conductor checked everything no one missed, but he suddenly saw a man with his peacock hair fluttering brightly. The conductor thinks he's the devil. Gurgling his saliva deeply, he ran and opened the carriage violently.
"Who?! "
Kyoujurou just smiled, he opened the cloth in front of him featuring innumerable rows of bento.
"As you can see, I'm a bento seller" Kyoujurou said casually, making it look like he was a merchant.
"So yeah, sorry I almost misunderstood you"
"No problem! I also want to ask, where is the Mugen train? "
"Mugen Ressha's? "
"Um! "
"The Mugen train is currently in workshop, ah! It was his workshop" said the conductor, pointing to a workshop on the right of the train.
"Then I'll get off here! "
"Eh? Inhere? No wait! " the conductor tried to call him but only the wind answered his voice

The sound of a hammer being met with iron was the first thing Kyoujurou heard from outside. Carrying 2 large cloths containing bento, he stepped his feet inside. Mugen train stands majestically in the middle of the room.
"Hey you"
Kyoujurou turned his head to the right, and a three-headed man wiped his hands with a clean cloth. Looks like he's a worker here.
"People are forbidden to enter this place"
He said firmly, his face was also very firm.
"Yes, you're right. But, I was sent by the administration to bring bento for you guys" Kyoujurou reasoned
"Hey, he said he was carrying a bento" he said shouting, calling his comrades to come closer and take out each one of the boxes containing the bento.
"I'll bring one to Tatsubo who's resting at the charging station" said one of the men, carrying a box of bento and running to another room.
"Will this train be back in operation? "
"Yes! Though there is nothing strange about the train, but there are so many rumors that this train eats humans, it really makes us frustrated. But, not anymore, this train will operate tomorrow night"
Kyoujurou was a little surprised, his teacher only said the train would be operational in a moment, but when exactly he was not told.
Suddenly Kyoujurou sensed an existence that had managed to lure himself to raise the sword high, who else if not the devil?.
"WAA!! "
The sound of screaming from a room rang out loud, Kyoujurou running, his hands ready on the hilt of his sword.
"Take the kid off! "
"The demon hunter? Many styles"
"You pissed me off" Kyoujurou said as the fallen bento was trampled and scorned
"If you're upset with me. "the devil ran fast, only revealing a blue shadow.
".... Try to chop off my head" he said, who was behind Kyoujurou.
"I'm the fastest" he continued and switched ahead of Kyoujurou
SRINGGS...
Kyoujurou tried to slash it, but only the wind hit. The demon leapt back to keep his distance from Kyoujurou and revealed a look of disdain.
"If you want to be a hero and help people, what if you race to get to the station first? He's the quick one who will determine the death of the bento salesman"
"You're really good at pissing people off"
"Before that I'll kill an-"
CRASCH....
Fresh flesh and blood splattered everywhere, a hand floated up followed by the sound of a sword slashing, the next second the demon hostage fell to the ground apart from the devil's grip.
The demon grieved, then with his strength he went from there to the station where the bento seller was. A bright blue silhouette was visible along the train tracks. Kyoujurou just stared at the running demon in silence.
Now he turned to look at the hostage, his chest wound is not too deep, but the wound is still a wound. Kyoujurou approached taking one of the 2 types in the bag given by his teacher.
He took out one small bottle filled with a blue liquid that emitted a beautiful blue color. His outstretched hand took the hostage's head and brought the tip of the bottle closer to his mouth, giving him a drink.
The bottle had been empty of its contents, with the miraculous wounds of the hostages slowly being covered, there were no scars there, even the stamina of the hostage was filled to the brim as if he had just woken up.
Kyoujurou smiled then looked back outside, his feet were planning to run, then the next second only the wind was blowing strong as his tracks.
"Breathing full concentration" he said softly interrupted his run.
"I feel that my body is lighter, and my speed has increased by 2 times, is this due to the training given by Rimuru-sensei? " his mind kept running, the flames illuminated every railway line he passed.

A wagon was walking on a leisurely path, the wagon was pulled by an old man, behind whom a little boy helped from behind.
From a distance the blue silhouette quickly jumped to the edge of the station, its nose sniffing a stench, after which it grinned widely after finding what it was looking for.
"Meet"
On the other hand, the little girl began to prepare her merchandise, opening the cover of her shop. He smiled proudly at his work.
"Kissed... Smells"
A voice distracted him, his gaze not too good because the place was still a little dark.
As the demon approached, the girl began to retreat. But unfortunately a lunchbox landed right next to the demon's left. The contents of the box were scattered on the floor.
"Come on, Fuku" a grandmother yelled at Fuku, telling the girl to run away as long as she distracts him.
The girl ran towards a door, her feet climbing over a wooden fence not too high, as she was about to jump a hand clutching her arm.
The demon pushed the girl up to the train tracks, after which she landed on the girl, strangling her. A single drop of tears slightly flowed out, his pupils shrinking in fear.
His pointy nails were ready to tear the little girl apart. Again his efforts failed, a blaze foiled his plans. His leg was wounded in self-rescue, but he did not bother about it, for the demon could regenerate.
"You... "
"You're okay? "
"Why? How can you chase me? " the devil said trembling, a grain of cold sweat flowing down his temple.
"I told you not to be too confident"
"What if we try? Which is faster, you saved this grandma and chopped off my head or I cut off the head of this old hag"
"That's not necessary because of you..... "Kyoujurou's mouth disappeared from there and beheaded the demon.
".... Slow" he continued when the devil's neck was separated from his body.
"You." the grandmother wanted to say something, but her voice was stuck in her throat.
"You saved me and Fuku's parents 20 years ago, I can't forget that face and cape, thank you, thank you for saving us once again"
"That must be my father, I followed in my father's footsteps to become a demon hunter"
"Then, see you" he said as he passed away from there

"What... What is this creature?! " shouts blaring at the station, hoarseness can disturb people passing by. The man wears a pig mask on his head.
"The body looks hard" he said again, banging his head against the iron chariot.
"Stop stupid! That's really embarrassing! " another yellow-haired man pulled the body of a man wearing a pig mask, trying to stop his stupid actions.
"This thing must be the lord of the land. Aye! From the length as well as the intimidating aura he was the master of the mainland! "
"No! This is a steam engine, you don't know that? "
"This is probably the guardian spirit here, it's not good to attack him suddenly like that" said another man with his wine-red hair
"I told you it's a steam engine, you know not a train? The train is a means of transportation that can carry many people, the village child"
"Hey! They brought swords! " a worker there shouted to his friend to arrest 3 young men of that age.
"Damn! Damnit damnit! Let's escape! " the yellow hair pulled the body of the pig mask, forcing him to run.
They ran to the end of the train, then jumped onto the train. The yellow boy, Agatsuma Zenitsu, began to explain that the iblia hunter organization was an unrecognized organization.
It was only natural that anyone would report them if they carried swords without any permission. A burgundy haired youth Kamado tanjiro was a little confused by this situation.
While the remaining young man, who wore a strange mask to hide his beautiful face, was quite amazed by the speed of the monster he was riding. It was Hashibira Inousuke
"How about we hide our swords behind our backs? "
"Like this? " inousuke said showing the sword he put on his back, with a bling-bling aura.
"It still looks stupid! Put some clothes on there! " say Zenitsu.
"We're going in, I'm going to buy the ticket" Zenitsu said, leaving, as if in this condition she was the saneest of the three.
"Oh... Yep... Thanks"
"Argh... It's hard to walk if the sword is hidden on the back" Inousuke said as he grumbled.
The three of them opened the door to enter the train, in which some visitors were sitting, some were chatting and some were sleeping. Once again Inousuke shouted furiously, his shrill voice disturbing the sleeping passengers.
"We're in her stomach! This is a battle! "
"Shut up! "
"Dear!! "
