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

For Kokushibo, who is extremely jealous and competitive, the fact that he is inferior to Yoriichi is something he absolutely does not want to mention or even think about.

but……

Hearing his sister's sharp tongue for the first time in a long time, Kokushibo's heart was not as angry and irritated as he had imagined.

The feelings I have are hard to describe.

Kokushibo simply instructed, just like Ikuko had, "Gyutaro, the rest of you are in your hands."

Gyutaro looked at the group. Apart from Yuko, there were eight people: one, two... eight people.

Kokushibo, are you even human?

But if he had to choose, he would still choose someone else.

After all, only a few people in this group are worth watching; the rest are just cheerleaders filling in.

This woman is different. She scared him off in just a few moves during their previous encounter. No wonder she's Kokushibo's sister. This family are all monsters.

He wasn't sure if this woman had the strength of Kokushibo, but she was definitely not someone they could defeat. Even Akaza had been defeated, so he and his sister were no match for her.

"Understood~" Gyutaro chuckled, his hoarse tone carrying a hint of frivolity.

The mere swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps were defeated by the brother and sister duo.

"Come on if you dare~" Gyutaro said provocatively, carrying Daki away first and leaving the battlefield to Kokushibo. He didn't want to lose his head in the middle of the fight.

Uzui Tengen glanced at Yuko: "We'll deal with those two demons as soon as possible. Be careful."

His words weren't out of unwarranted concern; rather, Yuko herself was a demon who had overcome the power of sunlight, and he couldn't afford any accidents.

Yuko looked at Kokushibo without shifting her gaze: "I know."

Upon seeing this, Uzui Tengen turned around and called to everyone, and his three wives also left along the edge of the field.

Tanjiro stuffed Nezuko back into the box and looked back with concern.

Yuko noticed his gaze and smiled calmly: "Tanjiro, I'm counting on you. Cut off the heads of those two demons, but don't embarrass me in front of this guy."

Tanjiro paused for a moment, then nodded emphatically: "Yes!"

Once everyone had disappeared from sight, the smile on Yuko's face gradually faded.

Kokushibo threw the sword he had pulled from his heart at Ikuko with a backhand motion, the snow-white blade embedding itself straight into the ground.

Yuko's lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to say something but didn't know how to start.

After a moment of silent staring, Yuko finally couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you make a move just now?"

If Kokushibo had attacked with all his might while she was healing everyone, she definitely wouldn't have been able to save them all successfully.

She seemed completely unconcerned about Kokushibo, but in reality, she was on edge.

"...I have no interest in ambushing the weak."

Liar...

It's so painful...

This is the answer that Yuko truly believes in.

This brother, who betrayed them hundreds of years ago, still harbors feelings for her...

It's undeniable that once you become a demon, your human emotions will gradually disappear...

But that doesn't mean ghosts have no emotions or their own thoughts; on the contrary, they are also very emotional.

only……

Yuko would rather face a cold and ruthless Upper Moon One.

Frustrated, Yuko picked up the demon blade named Shura and casually twirled it.

There's nothing more to say now; let's settle this with our swords.

Just as her momentum was gradually rising.

boom! ! !

An explosion suddenly occurred not far away, followed by a continuous series of clanging sounds of weapons clashing.

The firelight illuminated their profiles, and Kokushibo suddenly called out, "Yuko..."

Yuko subconsciously looked up.

Kokushibo calmly extended his hand to her: "Come over here."

Yuko's expression shifted slightly, not because she found his words tempting, but because she was unwilling to acknowledge that there had been a familial bond between them, just as she had never spoken of Kokushibo's true identity to others.

Yuko's eyes darkened slightly: "No, it was you who betrayed me, it was you who betrayed me and Yoriichi."

"I did it for you, you're dying..."

"I never said I wanted to live, you just..."

It was all for myself; I just didn't want to die, and I wanted to surpass Yoriichi...

I can't bring myself to say those words...

That's so shameless...

I survived because of this, and even basked in the sunlight, meeting so many interesting people...

If she had known this beforehand, would she really have been able to express her desire not to live?

Unable to maintain her composure, Yuko gritted her teeth and charged towards Kokushibo, gripping her knife tightly.

Kokushibo stepped back two steps to block her attack and said calmly, "You've exhausted too much energy; you're no match for me."

Moreover, you can sense it from Yuko's aura.

She had never eaten people, at least... for a very long time.

If we compare him and Yuko to two springs of equal size, then Yuko's spring is stagnant and unchanging, while his is flowing water, with a constant inflow and outflow of water.

Even at the same size, the losses can be drastically different.

"Then you'd better just stand there and let me chop you!" Yu Zi suddenly exerted force, deflecting his blade and slashing towards his neck. "It would be better if you were dead!"

Kokushibo was of course not going to surrender, even if Ikuko's sword couldn't cut off his head.

Furthermore, with Yuko's physical strength greatly reduced, it would be almost impossible for her to defeat him in a head-on confrontation.

Ultimately, without the Nichirin Blade to break the deadlock, and given that Ikuko is a demon, both sides were merely venting their inner emotions.

Kokushibo casually dodged Yuuko's attacks: "Your steps are off, are you angry?"

"I'm not angry!"

Stay calm... Just don't listen to him.

“You’ve always been like this; you never listen to me.”

"You talk as if you've ever listened to anything I say!"

"I'm the older brother..."

"You no longer are..." From the moment you killed your own brother, you stopped being...

Yuko barely managed to gather her strength and charged toward Kokushibo with her sword in hand.

Kokushibo seized the opportunity and slashed at Yuuko, but Yuuko was prepared and ducked past him.

Kokushibo instinctively turned around.

The orange flames illuminated half of his cheek.

Day...

This scene seems familiar.

Seeing this scene, long-forgotten memories resurfaced in Kokushibo's mind.

Those are memories of being beheaded...

"Do you think I'll fall for the same trick a second time?" Recalling the pain of being beheaded, Kokushibo's eyes became more serious.

Once you know the shape of the sword, the difficulty of solving it will decrease dramatically.

Yuko's pupils contracted slightly: "You can!"

The blade drew an arc in front of him, and flames blazed on the blade, creating a wave of crimson fire. The moment Yuko covered the blade with her right hand, the scarlet slash reflected in Kokushibo's pupils.

"Snow Breathing - Ninth Form - Blazing Snow!"
