Demon Slayer: The Journey That Began When I Became Yoriichi's Sister

These three guys are really easy to understand.

Yuko looked at the three people's different expressions and silently complained to herself.

Inosuke's face was obscured, but judging from his raised fist, he was very excited.

Tanjiro was mostly surprised.

As for Zenitsu... this guy is even easier to understand. His art style is almost gray and white, and there's probably not a single happy part of him.

Yuko said softly, "Yosuki, if you don't want to, it's best not to force yourself."

Upon hearing Yuko's words, Zenitsu's face lit up with joy at first, but then he noticed Tanjiro and Inosuke's excited expressions. A struggle flashed across his face, and finally he shook his head with a look of utter despair.

"Never mind, I'll just go with them."

The expression on his face was full of inner turmoil, a performance worthy of an Oscar.

Yuko couldn't help but smile slightly.

Zenitsu Agatsuma might not have been so resolute if he were alone, but he has spent so much time with Tanjiro and Inosuke that the three of them have long developed feelings for each other.

Even if he was afraid, he wouldn't leave Tanjiro and Inosuke to face the danger alone.

To put it simply, this guy is the type who will complain while helping.

It's both funny and touching.

"Since everyone is so determined, let me first explain how to activate the markings."

Yu Zi pulled the long, blood-red blade from her left palm, casually twirling it with her sword. Large splatters of blood spread across the ground, forming plum blossom-like dots, revealing the exquisite white of the blade beneath the blood-covered surface.

Zenitsu couldn't help but shudder. Although he already knew from Tanjiro that Ikuko was a demon, seeing such a bloody scene was still terrifying.

Ms. Yuko is completely different from Nezuko-chan. You can tell what Nezuko-chan's voice is just by listening to it, but Ms. Yuko's voice is eerily quiet.

No, it's more accurate to describe it as deathly still than tranquil.

Although he had felt something was strange before, Zenitsu had never thought about it in that way because Ikuko often walked during the day. Who knew that Miss Ikuko had actually successfully overcome the sunlight.

Yuko explained simply: "Activating the markings is actually quite simple. It's about seeking a breakthrough at the limits of life and death. As long as you can reach that limit, the markings will naturally appear."

Zenitsu asked, his voice trembling, "What if I don't break through?"

Yuko looked at him questioningly: "Of course he's dead."

"No~" Zenitsu yelled, starting to pry at Tanjiro and Inosuke, "Hey, hey, let's go!"

Yu Zi couldn't help but chuckle: "Just kidding. I'll judge your limits based on your physical condition. There won't be much risk."

There are definitely risks involved, but none as great as the risk of breaking through on the spot during a battle against the Upper Moon Demon.

Because Yuko will hold back, but they won't.

"Don't joke like that! My legs are giving way!" Zenitsu's legs felt weak.

Yuko kindly reminded him, "Yosuki, if your legs go weak now, you won't be able to stand up later."

Zenitsu screamed, grabbing one of the two men on each side: "How terrifying!!!"

Inosuke slapped him across the face: "Idiot, let go!"

Tanjiro, speechless, pried his hand away: "Zenitsu, stop fooling around."

"But~"

This guy is a real character.

Kyojuro, hands on his hips, laughed loudly: "Hahaha, you guys are so enthusiastic!"

This guy is no different.

"In this battle, just treat me like a demon, and all you need to do is think about cutting my neck."

"I have overcome the sunlight, so I don't need to worry about the Nichirin Blade harming me. Even if I were beheaded, I wouldn't die."

They had already reported the information about the Nichirin Blade's ability to kill without being decapitated to the point of death to Ubuyashiki, and Ubuyashiki Kagaya was also very troubled by this.

They had predicted that Muzan wouldn't die after being beheaded, but if the Upper Moon demons did the same, it would be more than just difficult.

Muzan needs someone to be trapped, and the Upper Moons also need someone; the Demon Slayer Corps' top-tier combat power is not enough to go around.

Inosuke excitedly brandished his Nichirin Blade: "Is it ready yet? I can't wait to activate my Demon Slayer Mark!"

Seeing that they were all ready, Yu Zi nodded slightly: "Okay."

Everyone placed their hands on the knife.

Yu Zi said calmly, "Then, let me put some pressure on you first."

Shinobu Kocho, watching from the corridor, had a slight glint in her eyes. Was that person about to arrive?

Add some pressure?

Before Tanjiro could figure out what Ikuko meant, in everyone's eyes, Ikuko's long red hair instantly turned white, her strange eyes transformed into golden vertical pupils, and two hideous demon horns sprouted from the top of her head, while delicate blood vessels were exposed on her arms and cheeks.

so beautiful……

Shinobu's purple eyes shimmered with a captivating light; what a beautiful sight!

Compared to her sitting aside and maintaining an appreciative posture, almost none of the people facing Yuko could smile.

Ghost? !

Tanjiro seemed to leap out, and a powerful fighting spirit suddenly erupted from Ikuko's center.

It's completely different from Akaza's fighting spirit level.

Before the battle even began, Tanjiro's forehead was already covered in cold sweat.

If Akaza's fighting spirit only made people feel palpitations, then Ms. Yuko's was like a heavy hammer blow to the heart, making it difficult to breathe and causing her arms to tremble uncontrollably.

what?

Is your body scared?

There hasn't even been a battle yet...

Tanjiro subconsciously glanced to his side, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Mr. Purgatory's hands... were also trembling...

Everyone is afraid...

Suddenly, a sound came from the side. Everyone looked over instinctively and found that a pig-headed boy had already knelt down on the ground.

?

Everyone turned to look at their side. Even Zenitsu was still trembling with fear, and the one who screamed the loudest was the one who knelt down the fastest.

"Ugh~ I can't move my body."

Yu Zi's expression shifted slightly. Was it because the texture of her skin was so exceptional that it had a negative effect on her fighting spirit?

She asked, "How are you? Are you adapting?"

The crowd was so humiliated that they were still concerned about what the other side was up to—it was incredibly hurtful!

The first to adapt to Yuuko's intense fighting spirit was Rengoku Kyojuro, the strongest among them.

Kyojuro smiled slightly: "Miss Yuko is indeed very strong."

"There's no need for praise."

“No…it’s not necessary.” A flash of orange-red flame appeared, and Kyojuro broke through to Yuuko’s side first, bending over and slashing his Nichirin Blade upwards toward her neck.

This guy actually listened to her.

but……

Without even drawing her sword, Yuko's fingers slipped between the blades and pressed down on the tsuba of her Nichirin sword.

Kyojuro's pupils contracted sharply, and he instinctively tried to reverse the blade, but a calm voice suddenly came to his ear.

"Just a little short."

His body was already flying backward uncontrollably.
