Zenitsu pointed at the Mugen Train, looking at Tanjiro with a speechless expression.
"What nonsense are you talking about? A train is a train!"
"Oh!" Tanjiro nodded, looking at the train in front of him.
"Hmm?" Tanjiro realized that something seemed amiss.
"Huh?!?" Tanjiro was taken aback.
You're saying a train is a regular train?
Zenitsu reached out and picked at his ear to relieve the discomfort caused by Tanjiro's loud voice.
"Yeah! Why are you shouting so loudly? What's wrong?"
"It's over! It's over! It's over!..." Tanjiro kept muttering to himself.
" Tanjiro, what's wrong with you?" Zenitsu asked, puzzled.
Tanjiro raised his hand and scratched his head.
"Damn it! I promised Mr. Kato I'd let him know when I was on the train on my mission!"
" Mr. Kato? Who is that?" Zenitsu asked.
" Kato is..." Tanjiro thought for a moment and replied, "... Kanae's fiancé!"
" Kanae actually has a fiancé?" Zenitsu asked curiously.
Tanjiro said with a troubled expression, "That's not the point! The point is that I didn't keep my promise to Mr. Kato!"
"Why did he ask you to notify him when you were on the train carrying out your mission?" Zenitsu asked.
Tanjiro said, "He said he wanted to take a train ride..."
"Hahaha..."
"What are you laughing at?" Tanjiro asked, looking at Zenitsu laughing loudly.
"You're such a grown man, and you're thinking about finding a travel companion just to take the train! Isn't that hilarious!"
Upon hearing this, Tanjiro frowned slightly and said seriously, " Zenitsu, it's not nice to laugh at people like that!"
"Okay, okay! I won't laugh anymore. I won't laugh anymore." Zenitsu tried his best to suppress his laughter.
Seeing that Zenitsu had stopped laughing, Tanjiro thought for a moment and said, " Zenitsu, what do you think? Should I have Kasugai Crow inform Mr. Kato?"
Zenitsu asked, "I don't think I've seen him at the Butterfly Mansion. Where does he live?"
He is in Shimizu City, a coastal city on Shikoku Island.
"Stop joking! It takes even Kasugai Crow half a day to fly from here to there. What's the point of notifying us now? Besides, the train is about to leave. Even if he's in the Butterfly Mansion, he can't make it in time. The best part is on Shikoku Island."
"But..." Tanjiro still hesitated.
"Alright, alright!" Zenitsu patted Tanjiro on the shoulder. "We can explain it to him later. After all, you didn't do it on purpose by not informing him!"
"Quick! The train's about to leave, let's get on!" Zenitsu said, his head darting around. "Oh right, where's that Boar's Head?"
"The pigs are advancing! The pigs are advancing! The pigs are advancing!"
The familiar voice made Zenitsu look over.
Inosuke had somehow managed to run far away from the train.
He pushed off with his feet, shouting as he charged toward the train.
Zenitsu, who knew a little about the other party's Zenitsu, immediately shouted upon seeing this:
"Hey! Inosuke! Stop right there! Did you hear me! Stop..."
"Bang!"
Inosuke stood there unsteadily, clutching his forehead and groaning, "Damn it! It's so hard!"
"Stop being normal, you idiot!" Zenitsu yelled.
Ignoring the two, Tanjiro stood still, quietly gazing at the steel behemoth before him.
An unease gradually spread through his heart.
Was Mr. Kato really just looking for company on the train?
On the train.
The three of them moved through the train carriages.
Their mission was to inform them that they would be meeting up with Flame Hashira Kyojuro Rengoku on the Mugen Train.
At the very front, Zenitsu, who was clearly more familiar with trains, led the way.
In the middle stands Inosuke, head held high and arms swinging wildly as he moves forward.
Finally, there's Tanjiro seems to have something on his mind.
"So fast! So fast!"
Inosuke kept muttering to himself, turning his head from side to side as he watched the scenery rushing past outside.
The next moment, Inosuke lunged towards the window, intending to peer through the glass for a closer look.
The man had barely taken two steps when he was stopped and brought back.
" Inosuke, be quiet! Don't cause trouble for others!" Tanjiro instructed.
Inosuke stared at Tanjiro for a while, snorted, and continued walking forward following Zenitsu.
Disturbed by Inosuke, Tanjiro snapped out of his reverie and focused intently on reading inside the carriage.
Of the three present, he was the only one who had ever seen the Flame Hashira Kyojuro Rengoku.
Of course, before receiving the mission, he didn't know which of the many Pillars he had seen at the Demon Slayer Corps Headquarters was the Flame Hashira.
However, after consulting with Kanae, I quickly matched the name with the person.
After all, most of the Pillars in the Demon Slayer Corps have relatively distinct characteristics.
The three of them searched through each carriage one by one. Soon, while they were in one carriage, they heard shouts of "Delicious!" coming from the next carriage.
Soon we arrived at the next carriage.
As soon as Zenitsu entered the carriage, his gaze naturally followed the sounds of "delicious!"
The person had blond hair and wore a white haori with a fiery blue background. He was stuffing food into his mouth while muttering that it was delicious.
His appearance and behavior were clearly different from others, which allowed Zenitsu, who had never met the Flame Hashira before, to recognize him as the Flame Hashira he was looking for.
Just to be on the safe side, Zenitsu turned to Tanjiro and asked him.
"Is this the Flame Hashira?" The tone was slightly disdainful.
Tanjiro nodded awkwardly, then took the lead and went forward.
"That..."
"Tasty!"
"Excuse me, may I bother you?"
"Tasty!"
" Rengoku... Sir..."
"Tasty!"
"Uh... I already know that!"
"Tasty!"
After finishing all the food he had brought, Kyojuro Rengoku finally turned his gaze to the three of them.
"Um, I am..."
"Your name is Tanjiro Kamado, right? I remember you, the boy with the demon!"
Upon hearing this, Tanjiro instinctively reached out a hand to protect the box containing Nezuko behind him.
He remembered that the Flame Hashira before him was determined to execute Nezuko!
"There's no need for that!" Kyojuro declared loudly. "Although I don't acknowledge the existence of demons, now that this decision has been made, I won't kill the demon behind you before she harms people!"
Tanjiro breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
"So, what were you trying to say just now?" Kyojuro asked.
"Well, because the casualties on the Mugen Train continue to rise, we came to provide support after being notified by Kasugai Crow!" Tanjiro explained.
"Hmm, I see!"
