The rhythmic chugging of the train, accompanied by the soft hum of conversation, filled the cabin as I leaned back against the cushioned seat, gazing out at the scenery rushing past the window. Beside me, Mitsuri Kanroji, the Love Hashira, was bubbling with her usual energy. Her cheerful demeanor and warm presence made the tense mission ahead feel almost like a casual outing.
The mission itself was straightforward: investigate reports of demon activity on this train. Of course, I already knew the culprit behind the chaos—Enmu, The Last of Lower Rank, One of the Kizuki.
Having watched the Demon Slayer anime, I was familiar with how the events should unfold. The only difference was the cast. Instead of Rengoku leading this mission, it was Mitsuri, likely a ripple effect of my presence in this world.
Not that I was complaining. Spending time with Mitsuri was an opportunity I welcomed. Her sincerity and kindness were refreshing, and it didn’t hurt that she was adorable when she was flustered.
Mitsuri turned to me, her vibrant green and pink hair bouncing slightly. "Alex-san, isn’t this exciting? It’s been a while since I’ve been on a mission with someone else. I usually work alone!"
I smiled, leaning forward slightly. "Exciting isn’t the first word I’d use for demon hunting on a moving train, but I’ll admit, it’s a nice change of pace."
She giggled, her hands clasped together in her lap. "You’re so calm about this. I guess it makes sense since you’re so strong. I mean, you’ve defeated Gyokko and even fought the other Hashira to a standstill! I’m still amazed by how skilled you are."
"Well," I said, brushing off her praise with a small shrug, "it’s not all about strength. Strategy and experience matter too. But enough about me—what about you? The Love Hashira is quite the title. You must be impressive in your own right."
