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

"Tanjiro." Thinking of this, Yuko waved to Tanjiro.

"Miss Ikuko?" Hearing Ikuko's call, Tanjiro stopped his training, wiped his sweat, and came to the corridor. "Miss Ikuko, is there something you need?"

Yuko said softly, "I need to go to your house for something. Tanjiro, would you like to come back with me?"

"You need to come to my house?" Tanjiro was taken aback for a moment, then quickly asked, "What happened at my house?"

Seeing a hint of panic on his face, Yuko shook her head: "That's not what I meant. It's a long story, but to put it simply, there's a plant in your backyard that only blooms in the summer and can help demons overcome sunlight. Nezuko might be able to use it."

Tanjiro was a little confused by what he heard before, but he understood the last sentence.

Tanjiro asked in surprise, "Nezuko can also overcome sunlight?"

"I think it should be fine." Yuko nodded slightly. In fact, she felt that Nezuko could overcome the sunlight now.

Nezuko was avoiding the sun, so she couldn't possibly drag people out for a barbecue.

When she overcame the sun, she had to resist the burning sensation for a while before she could do it. It would be too much to deliberately experiment like this.

However, with Tamayo's research, finding the blue spider lily so that everyone can overcome the sunlight is definitely not difficult.

"That's wonderful." Tanjiro's face beamed with a smile, then he suddenly remembered, "Oh right, Nezuko can now experience food normally, thank you so much."

He suddenly bowed deeply to Yuko.

Yuko was both amused and exasperated: "If you want to thank someone, thank Tamayo later. I just brought the medicine back."

Tanjiro grinned foolishly and asked, "When do we set off?"

Yuko looked up at the sky. She had just returned from Tamayo's place, and it was almost noon.

"Tomorrow, you can rest during this afternoon's workout and not overexert yourself."

Tanjiro firmly retorted, "No! I can continue!"

Before Yuko could even say anything, Zenitsu, who had been eavesdropping for a while, jumped forward and covered Tanjiro's mouth, looking flustered as he said to Yuko:

"Don't listen to his nonsense! You idiot Tanjiro, if you're going out, you should at least get some rest."

Zenitsu was on the verge of tears; this period had been unbearable. He hadn't had a single chance to rest; it was as if they were trying to torture him to death.

Yuko nodded: "Shanyi is right. The correct way to exercise is to combine work and rest."

"Besides, if we encounter any danger on the road, it will be troublesome if you can't go all out."

Tanjiro pulled his hand away from Zenitsu's and nodded helplessly: "Alright then."

Zenitsu, trembling and with tears welling in his eyes, said, "Finally, I can rest~"

Yuko looked at him with a hint of confusion: "Tanjiro is going out, so you can continue training on your own, right?"

Zenitsu's expression of emotion froze, and he instantly turned to stone.

With his face covered in a dirty pig's head mask, Inosuke stared at him blankly and asked, "Is Tanjiro going home?"

Tanjiro scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly: "Hmm, it seems so."

"So, does that mean I'll have to train with this guy?" Inosuke wisely looked at Zenitsu, who looked utterly hopeless.

A wisp of white gas drifted out of Zenitsu's mouth.

Tanjiro broke out in a cold sweat: "Um, Miss Ikuko..."

"Can everyone come together?"

Zenitsu recovered at lightning speed and looked at Ikuko with hopeful eyes that were practically sparkling.

Yu Zi leaned back and waved her hand dismissively: "Alright, I don't really have anything going on lately. If you want to come along, then go ahead."

It seems that everyone just went through a major battle in the country. Although Tanjiro and the others have recovered quite a bit, Ubuyashiki has no plans to send them on missions for the time being. They probably want everyone to rest for a while.

"Yay~" Zenitsu jumped up and down in the courtyard, thinking that he had finally escaped his suffering.

Shinobu Kocho and Aoi Kanzaki carried plates into the corridor.

Seeing the commotion in the courtyard, he asked in confusion, "What's going on?"

She carefully handed a piece of rice ball to Yuko.

"Thanks." Yu Zi first thanked him, took the rice ball, took a bite, then shook her head and said indistinctly, "I don't know~ Maybe the long-term high pressure finally made her go crazy."

Tanjiro: Sweat! !

Shinobu covered her mouth and chuckled softly, her delicate eyes curving into crescents as she called out, "Tanjiro, Inosuke, come and eat first."

Inosuke rubbed his stomach: "I'm actually hungry."

Tanjiro thanked her, saying, "Miss Shinobu, thank you so much."

Kanzaki Aoi watched Zenitsu jump further and further away, then pointed and asked, "Where's that guy?"

Butterfly smiled and beckoned her to sit down: "Well, it won't matter if you skip a meal."

Kanzaki Aoi: ...

It's terrifying that someone could say such cold things with such a smile.

Tanjiro took an extra rice ball. Ikuko thought he was going to give it to Zenitsu, but Tanjiro took the rice ball and headed towards the room in the corridor.

Yuko couldn't help but chuckle.

Honestly, my little sister has only just regained her sense of taste and I'm already spoiling her so much.

After watching Tanjiro leave, Zenitsu finally snapped out of his excitement and jumped back.

"Ah, how cunning! They didn't even invite me to eat!"

Inosuke, holding a rice ball in one hand, squatted on the ground and started eating, completely ignoring him.

The others were also eating slowly and deliberately.

Quiet~

Zenitsu shivered and muttered, "That's so mean~"

After lunch, Tanjiro and the others carried basins of water to the Demon Slayer Corps' bathhouse.

Shinobu Kocho looked puzzled: "Aren't we exercising this afternoon?"

Yuko replied, "The blue spider lilies should be blooming soon, and I plan to take Tanjiro home to pick some."

"Blue spider lily?" Shinobu's eyes lit up. "Then remember to let me know when Yuko comes back. I'm also very curious."

Shinobu Kocho knows almost everything about Yuuko, including the fact that the Blue Spider Lily can overcome sunlight.

No doctor wouldn't be curious about a spider lily that blooms only briefly in the hottest summer weather, like a fleeting moment.

"Well, I see."

Butterfly sighed, "What a pity, I really wanted to go out and play with you guys."

Yu Zi smiled helplessly: "There's nothing we can do about it. The capable are always given more work."

Although Shinobu Kocho is stationed at the Butterfly Mansion, she is not in a position where she can go out at will. As the logistics unit of the Demon Slayer Corps, her support work must be done well.

Moreover, if a seriously injured swordsman were to return, without her presence, it's uncertain whether the others could be properly taken care of.

Unless there is an emergency or she needs to inform the Ubuyashiki in advance, she usually doesn't leave the Choya.
