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

Yuzui Tengen left the Butterfly Mansion in a huff.

Inosuke stared blankly at Uzui Ten's energetic retreating figure: "What's wrong with him?"

"Who knows."

Yuko followed silently without saying a word. Did Shinobu say something to him just now?

……

Arrived at Youguo.

The city of dazzling lights at night.

Although it was night, the entire street was brightly lit, just like daytime.

"Wow~" The three little ones sat in a car, their exclamations of amazement never ceasing.

On another rickshaw, Yuko quietly observed the scenery of Youguo.

It really answered that sentence.

The more glamorous and prosperous a place appears on the outside, the deeper the filth and darkness lurking beneath.

This is not just a limitation of the times, but also the unchanging nature of humankind.

Yuko withdrew her gaze after scrutinizing him.

It's annoying to look at.

"Listen up, you lot, don't do anything to attract attention." In another car, Uzui Tengen said with his eyes slightly closed and arms crossed, "We're just here to scout the situation, absolutely no getting out of the car..."

As soon as he finished speaking, two of the three little ones jumped off the carriage at lightning speed, leaving only the honest Tanjiro.

Tanjiro jumped off the train to retrieve the two of them.

Yuko: She knew it wouldn't be that simple.

Standing in front of the rickshaw, Uzui Tengen was furious: "Those damned brats."

Yu Zi got out of the car and said calmly, "Go find them. I'll wait for you here."

Without thinking too much, Uzui Tengen pointed ahead and said, "Go that way, the house with wisteria flower patterns in front is the Wisteria House."

The fact that a house has a wisteria crest means that the people living there will help the Demon Slayer Corps without expecting anything in return.

As soon as he finished speaking, he chased after her.

A short while later, a commotion arose from the crowd over there.

Ikuko:......

She knew it.

Yuko looked around and walked into the alley around the corner.

"Ugh~"

A middle-aged man was leaning against the wall and vomiting.

Yuko's eyelids twitched, and she turned and left.

The middle-aged man noticed the person approaching, and looking over drunkenly, his eyes lit up when he saw Yu Zi. He reached out his hand: "Wait, little sister..."

He was halfway through his sentence when Yu Zi raised her hand and slapped him across the face with the scabbard of her sword.

The middle-aged man's cheek was distorted from the blow, his eyes rolled back, and he collapsed into his own vomit.

Yuko checked the scabbard, and after confirming that it wasn't covered in anything disgusting, she decisively left.

This place... is truly a melting pot of all sorts of people.

She found another alley, making sure it was a place where the crowd wouldn't notice her, and jumped onto the roof.

Looking down at the city from its elevated position.

No... there's no ghostly aura.

Is it because the human aura is too strong?

Without giving it much thought, Yuko turned around, jumped off the roof, and headed towards the Fuji House.

Upon arriving at the Fuji House, they encountered Uzui Tengen, who had captured the three of them.

"Oh, you've arrived." Uzui Tengen greeted her, lifting the curtain to enter the room. "Sorry to bother you~"

Once inside, Uzui Tengen started gesturing wildly, ordering people to bring him food and water.

After a day's journey, the three little ones sat on the tatami mat and ate heartily.

Inosuke lifted his hood, grabbed a dumpling and stuffed it into his mouth. Noticing Ikuko beside him, he kindly offered her some.

"Want to eat?"

"...No, thanks."

Leaning against the wall, Uzui Tengen calmly looked at everyone and said, "Listen carefully, after you infiltrate the red-light district, go find my wife first."

"I will also investigate information about demons."

Inosuke focused on eating, Tanjiro silently drank his tea, and Zenitsu stood still.

He then angrily retorted, "What kind of nonsense is this?!"

"what?"

"Please stop joking! You actually want your subordinates to do personal favors like finding you a wife!"

Uzui Tengen: "Huh? What are you misunderstanding?"

"No! I must tell you!"

"A weirdo like you is bound to be unpopular!"

Yuko: I see...

She thought it would be a righteous accusation, but it turned out to be just jealousy that someone had a wife.

As expected of you.

Yu Zi sighed softly.

Uzui Tengen retorted loudly, "Are you an idiot? My wife infiltrated the brothel to gather information on the demons!"

"I came here because our regular contact was suddenly cut off!"

Zenitsu said expressionlessly, "You've been making all this up, haven't you?"

The noise continued.

Yuko moved to a corner and squeezed in with Nezuko's box.

These people are too noisy.

"These are the letters we used to communicate with Kasugai!" Uzui Tengen pulled out a bunch of letters from somewhere and threw them at Zenitsu.

Tanjiro flipped through the letters in surprise: "There are so many. You've been infiltrating for quite a while now, haven't you?"

Uzui Tengen calmly replied, "Because I have three wives."

Yu Zidu was taken aback and turned to look at him.

This guy's a real winner in life?

"Three? Three wives?" Zenitsu instantly broke down. "You... why would you have three wives? Are you kidding me!"

After a period of commotion, the noise subsided when Uzui Tengen knocked out Zenitsu with a single punch.

Tanjiro asked, "The letter repeatedly emphasized that we should keep a low profile when we come. What exactly should we do?"

"The solution is to disguise yourself. Although I'm not willing, we still have to use the old method. All you have to do is infiltrate."

"My three wives are all excellent female ninjas, and I think the red-light district is a good place for me to hide as a ghost."

"But when I infiltrated as a guest, I failed to catch them red-handed, which is why I let them infiltrate."

Yuko glanced sideways. Sure enough... no matter how unreliable they were, when it came to the topic of demons, these people certainly deserved to be called pillars of support.

This guy... must be feeling really confused right now.

“We’ve already narrowed it down to three suspicious shops. You need to find my wife there to gather information.” Uzui Tengen held up three fingers. “They are Suma from Tokitoya, Maki from Ogimotoya, and Hinatsuru from Kyogokuya.”

Yu Zi frowned slightly, her lips parted as if she was about to speak.

Having just finished eating, Inosuke, who was scratching his teeth with his fingers, calmly said, "I think your wife is already dead."

Yu Zi broke out in a cold sweat. Although it was a very true statement, this guy was just too clueless about the atmosphere.

Uzui Tengen was indeed furious and punched Inosuke in the stomach.

No doubt about it, he really deserves a beating.

The doorway was suddenly pulled open.

"Excuse me, we've delivered everything you needed."

Uzui Tengen said with a gloomy face, "Thanks."

Two of the three children were lying down when Yu Zi asked, "Are there any women with white hair in those three shops you mentioned earlier?"

Uzui Tengen's expression returned to normal, and he frowned slightly: "If you mean geishas... no."

Now it was Yuko's turn to frown.
