Hibiki Volume 29.
So Asumu isn't injured too badly from his sliding down a cliff and Hibiki aids him, thankfully. Maybe one day Asumu will have a good day...
We quickly cut between that and Todoroki and Ibuki fighting the Douji and Hime. Then soon put their efforts together to just defeating one (Since the 1 on 1 tactic was getting their asses kicked), and eventually succeed, though the other escapes.

Back with Asumu and Hibiki, Asumu is being himself and sulking as it soon begins to rain on them, preventing them from cooking dinner. Blaming himself, Hibiki tells him that the rain will pass, and it's not always his fault for what goes wrong in his life. He tells him that he shouldn't blame himself, and to try to rise up. It's a nice heart to heart. The rain passes, and they continue their talk, telling him that pain in life is inevitable, but through training, he can learn to overcome it.
I like it~
[Also, Hibiki carves himself a new Ongekibou out of a thick branch]

The next day comes and eventually Todoroki and Ibuki stumble upon the Douji and the Makamou, and quickly engage. Eiki, the Oni from last episode, also reappears, healed up, and helps fight. While the Makamou manages to fight them off and run, the 3 manage to at least kill the Douji with minimal effort.
The Makamou seems to head in the worst direction, towards Asumu and Hibiki, and Asumu runs right smack dab into it. Poor kid. Hibiki makes the save and pushes him out of the way, getting bit down on instead, but he goes Kurenai and, using his drum (Surprisingly, since he could normally just smack a monster with the Ongekibou and an energy drum would appear), dispatches it.

Back at the ranch, Asumu's mom had went to Tachibana's, and basically acknowledges that Asumu has absolutely no luck in life at all. Poor kid, even his mom knows...Hitomi also shows up. Mhmm.
Asumu, Hibiki, Todoroki, Ibuki, Zanki, Akira, and Eiki all then enter, too, and Asumu tells his mother about how fun the camping trip was, despite the numerous set backs, and Hibiki notes that Asumu is finally taking a step forward.

I really enjoyed this episode. Asumu and Hibiki having their talk that gets to Asumu was great, as his tendency to keep everything inward kind of pushes others out too much. Him finding something to smile about despite falling down a cliff, losing his cell phone, getting rained on, and being attacked by a giant spider demon is also nice, as he's learning to move past the negative events in life, and trying not to be defined by what goes bad in his life.
The fighting here was pretty fun. Seeing Ibuki and Todoroki working together was nice as they finally had opponents who could just run a train over them otherwise. Eiki is pretty cool, fun and energetic, though apparently after the staff swap he is never heard from again. Darn.

Well...Speaking of...I've hit episode 30. After 29 solid episodes, I've hit the infamous point. And I don't know how to progress from here...
