Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba (鬼滅の刃)

- - Tasty!

Eh?

Tasty!

Tasty!

- Flame Hashira, forgive me for intruding.

Please, come and take a seat.

Master, bring this young man what I’m having.

You sure about that?

Yes, of course.

Make that two bowls.

- My, my! You sure eat with gusto, don’t you?

Sit tight.

- Flame Hashira, your work last night was magnificent.

- You’re too kind. I only wish I could have done more.

How’s the injured woman faring?

According to the doctor,

the wounds she suffered won’t leave her with any scars.

I see. Good thing she got treated early.

- Yes, and all thanks to your bravery.

My thanks.

What’s this?

A little treat on the house.

Many thanks!

Oh. Tasty.

Hey, master,

I bet you’d thrive if you set up a shop in Ueno.

- Yeah, and what do you know about that?

Master, how is business?

How’s it look to you?

I see.

Thanks to all the talk

about the Slasher

being at large around here,

people just stopped

coming out at night.

It’s at the point where I even had to let my workers go.

They say that a conductor was murdered just the other day.

Also, in case you haven’t heard yet,

the Mugen Train is out of service now.

Rumor has it

that around 40 of the passengers on board the train

disappeared without any explanation.

Ah. Sounds ominous.

By the way, about that,

the reason I’m here is about that train.

We’ve received word it was secretly transported

to a certain storage area.

Is that right?

- -

Tasty!

- Are we heading to the Mugen Train?

- Of course. But first we should inspect the station

where the conductor’s body was found.

- Fuku, enough of that moping about.

Go on and eat now.

Mm.

Another day with hardly any customers coming by.

- I know I’ve been saying this every day,

but it’s dangerous to be out after dark.

Tomorrow, you can start helping out in the afternoon, my dear,

since demons lurk about at night.

All clear!

- I went ahead and scanned the area,

and nothing seems to be amiss.

I see!

There aren’t any demons!

- Hmm? - Huh?

- Would you stop bringing that up?

Please, I’ve got to sell as many lunch boxes as I can!

It’s hard enough Mother’s pregnant,

and father’s shop is failing.

Well, I’ve heard it is.

You should leave that worrying to us boring, old grown-ups.

While it’s still dark out,

I’ll take care of things, all right?

And what are we supposed to do

if you get attacked by the Slasher, too?

- I’d be more than happy to sacrifice my life for yours.

Grandma!

Well, good evening.

Nice weather tonight, isn’t it?

I’m here searching for a demon.

So have you seen any?

What?! he just said that?!

Please, Lord Kyojuro!

You’re being far too blunt, don’t you think?!

- Hmm? Do you know anything about it, ma’am?

What? Demons? What’s wrong with you?

Just get out of here!

I’m warning you!

Careful!

If you keep shaking like that,

you’ll end up dropping your bean-paste bun!

Get out of here!

- Eh? -

Um...

Tasty!

There are no demons here,

because demons don’t exist!

Fuku, that’s enough.

Take it easy.

I don’t believe he has bad intentions.

Forgive me. I’ve been on edge lately

’cause of the Slasher incidents.

- If what I just overheard is accurate,

that means you two work before dawn,

selling off those tasty box lunches of yours.

You both have my thanks.

People like you should never have to worry

about being in life-threatening danger.

But rest assured!

I will eliminate the Slasher.

Just who are you?

Farewell.

Wait!

Hmm?

Um...

if you don’t mind...

could you buy a few box lunches?

Good idea.

Yes...

I’ll buy them all!

Oh, wow.

This is a lot.

- A gift for the other Corps members.

I’ll be going on alone now.

Thanks for your hard work.

Goodbye.

- I don’t know what that was all about,

but I’m glad he bought all those box lunches from us.

- We need to hurry home now, Fuku.

Something tells me we shouldn’t be here right now.

I feel a chill going down my spine.

What’s wrong?

Huh?

Hey!

Who are you?!

- As you can see, I’m a box-lunch vendor,

which isn’t suspicious at all.

Caw!

Okay...

but this train is headed to a shed.

Yes, I’m aware.

But I heard the Mugen Train is there.

Is that true?

The Mugen Train?

Sorry, but that train is no longer there.

Where is it?

It was actually transported

to a well equipped maintenance facility just this morning.

Right over there.

I see.

Then this is where I shall be getting off!

Wha?!

Right now?!

Wait!

Uh...

The Mugen Train.

Ah, yes.

It’s faint, but there are still traces of a demon.

Hey, you!

You know this place is off limits, right?

- Pardon me, but I was sent here by the railway bureau

to deliver these box lunches.

What?

Hey! This guy brought food!

- - All right.

- Hey, there’s food over here. - About time.

- I’m starving. - Here.

Take one up to Tatsu in the office.

He might still be there.

Leave it to me, Chief!

- - Just curious,

why is the Mugen Train here?

It’s a bit of an odd situation,

but the word on the street
