500 power stone - another extra chapter

At some point, Kiyokawa Izumi had developed a habit of keeping a diary.
It was probably caused by being far too bored.
「Sunny,
Another ordinary and peaceful day. Perhaps because I didn't sleep for two days and one night, I woke up two hours later than usual.
My whole body aches.
That bastard Sanemi, his fists are damn hard, and his fighting style is exceptionally flexible and varied. When my condition dropped severely, I only had enough strength to barely parry; I definitely suffered quite a bit.
But that guy took a beating too, my fists aren't exactly weak either—I have to vent here, that bastard's body is also rock-hard, punching him feels terrible.
Even when the wooden sword strikes him, his expression doesn't change. I don't know if he's just good at enduring it or if he really doesn't feel pain.
Senior Brother Giyuu is also a bastard. Can one really have such lasting combat power by developing Water Breathing to its limit?
I have no words.
I have to record this grudge!
After completing basic daily training, that bastard Sanemi ran to the Butterfly Mansion again like nothing happened. After his daily routine of beating up the ordinary Team Members, he still felt unsatisfied and threw a wooden sword from afar.
What's that supposed to mean?
Does he think fighting between Hashira is more effective than training alone?
He really doesn't take a break at all!
Piggy was almost beaten into seclusion by him, and Zenitsu wanted to fake being sick, but he was ruthlessly exposed by the Sound Hashira elder.
After fighting those guys, Sanemi, who felt it didn't even count as a warm-up, clearly didn't plan to stop there. So let's fight then!
Who's afraid of who?
Even if Senior Brother Giyuu isn't here today, I'll fight him alone without hesitation!
Merely Sanemi, merely the Wind Hashira, he's nothing special.」
「Cloudy,
There really is a significant gap between me and the so-called strong Hashira. Fighting Sanemi alone yesterday was exceptionally difficult, and I suffered quite a bit.
Fuck!
Daily humiliation.
Doesn't this guy feel tired after fighting for two days straight?
Fighting from afternoon until night, I can barely lift my hands... Kochou Shinobu is also acting very strange. It's one thing that she won't come when I ask her to train, but when she was helping me apply medicine, I just criticized her for not wanting to train and lacking ambition, and I was actually ruthlessly retaliated against by this black-bellied woman.
The hand applying the medicine wasn't gentle at all!
Why use so much force?
Beneath that gentle smile, what's hidden is definitely schadenfreude.
I heard she's been researching new poisons lately... although that's also useful, daily training shouldn't be neglected, right?
It's definitely not because fighting Sanemi alone was a bit difficult; I'm just purely concerned about my colleague.
Sigh, next time I'll ask Aoi for help with the medicine. After all, Aoi is still very considerate.
Also, the first day of missing Senior Brother Giyuu.」
「Overcast,
Damn it! Doesn't that bastard Sanemi have to go on missions all day? Doesn't he have a fixed area to patrol? Aren't there demons that need slaying? Why does he run to the Butterfly Mansion all day long?
It's not like there's any hagi mochi for him to eat here!
The external injuries from the past two days haven't recovered yet, and he's here to fight again! Is this bastard's energy really that abundant?
Today it's either you die or I perish. If I don't beat him to death, I'll write my name backwards!」
「Cloudy,
I didn't win... I didn't win... The third day of missing Senior Brother Giyuu. Fortunately, Sanemi didn't come today.
It's not that I'm afraid, I just really need to adjust my condition.」
「Cloudy,
Met Sanemi again. You looked for me to fight the other two days, I won't hold that against you, but after resting for a day, what should you call me?
We hadn't fought for long when Big Brother suddenly arrived.
Big Brother Rengoku Kyojuro somehow heard they were training here. On a rare free day, instead of resting or teaching his younger brother at home, he ran to the Butterfly Mansion and joined the training with full enthusiasm.
One is an enthusiastic and hardworking monster, the other is a bastard with incredibly hard bones. Compared to them, I'm just an ordinary person.
Fuck!
What is there to be afraid of?
I'm going to take on both of them at once! No one leaves until we're exhausted!」
「Sunny,
Today is truly a sunny day, the weather is really nice.
Yesterday I fought the Wind and Flame Hashira, today I fought the Flame and Water Hashira. Oh, wait, today was a four-way free-for-all!
The research on the new poison isn't going well, so Kochou Shinobu also joined the battle.
Hehe, her endurance is even worse than mine, and she doesn't have an advantage in strength. Don't blame me for bullying her, I'm definitely not seeking revenge!
Senior Brother and I against Big Brother and Shinobu—that was truly easy. Senior Brother and I have such great coordination!」
On this day, Kiyokawa Izumi wrote this line with a bruised eye.
The things recorded in the diary were also beautified to a certain extent.
「Cloudy,
After a long time, I fought Big Brother alone. Compared to before, I can now hold my own for a period of time. After using the Fourth Form, I can even suppress Big Brother for a short while.
It's strange to say, I've been fighting with other Hashira quite a bit lately, but neither I nor the other Hashira have shown any signs of Awakening the Demon Slayer Mark.
Is it because no one has unlocked it yet?
This thing has both pros and cons, it's truly a difficult dilemma.
After fighting until sunset, I had a short chat with Big Brother.
We talked about the Former Flame Hashira, Big Brother's father—Ubuyashiki Kagaya invited him to come out of retirement, but that old bastard didn't accept.
As expected, I should find an opportunity to give him a beating. After maxing out his aggro, he won't be able to help but draw his sword. Once he draws his nichirin blade, perhaps his mindset will change. Probably?」
