Chapter 279: Kai’s Odd Predicament - Incredible Sense of Urgency!
23rd day, 2nd Stage
Tournament of Worth
On the outskirts of a town, there was an inn with several stories.
Not only was it big, but it also had several facilities like a restaurant, bar, swimming pool, an in-garden, lawn, and over a dozen private tea rooms.
Outside the inn, torrential rain was pouring down from the heavens along with the white-purple rumble of thunder. A light sheet of snow had already covered the grounds in the evening.
Yet, it was the sudden intrusion of a hailstorm that had forced Kai and Shinobu to come to this inn full of humans.
As much as the Insect Hashira had hated it, even she had agreed that they wouldn't find a place to wait out the storm better than this. Not unless they were to go miles beyond the town into the jungle, a prospect that had made both her and Kai frown.
The nightly attacks and ambushes of the demons had increased exponentially in the last few days.
It was as though they had teased a beehive, and now the bees were following them with murder infused in their buzzes.
The only way to get some respite was to dive into a body of water, making them lose their sense and smell. This inn was that body of water for Kai and Shinobu.
