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

"Can I feed this child something?" Kanroji Mitsuri held a piece of pastry in her hand and eagerly stretched it to Nezuko's mouth, who was sitting next to her.

Nezuko looked at Ikuko with a blank expression.

Yuko's lips twitched: "It's possible..."

"Ah, so cute~ She ate it~" Mitsuri Kanroji blushed and poked Nezuko's bulging cheeks like a lovesick fool.

Yuko: What exactly do you take her for?!

Shinobu Kocho wiped her mouth politely and asked with elegant manners, "By the way, why did Mitsuri come to the Swordsmith Village?"

While poking Nezuko with a perverted expression, Kanroji Mitsuri replied, "Ah, I came here to maintain my Nichirin Blade."

Yuko: "Just like Shinobu."

However, on the other hand, people can only come to the sword-forging village for the Nichirin Blade; they can't really come here just for fun.

"Eh? Shinobu too?" Kanroji Mitsuri turned around in surprise.

Shinobu Kocho subconsciously touched the Nichirin Blade at her waist, her eyes somewhat unfocused: "...I guess so."

Kanroji Mitsuri patted her flat stomach and stretched contentedly: "Ah~ I'm full~"

"My tummy feels so good~"

It's terrible.

Despite eating so much food, my stomach didn't rise or fall at all.

Yuko withdrew her gaze from the corner of her eye.

At that moment, Zenitsu's indignant voice came from outside.

"Seriously, who does that guy think he is? He doesn't even give us the time of day."

"Tanjiro! Sometimes you have to show your dignity as a Pillar!"

"Zenitsu... stop talking..." Tanjiro's embarrassed voice followed.

Inosuke: "Ugh! This is infuriating!"

Yuko: ...What happened now?

This group of people really makes noise wherever they go, they never seem to know when to stop...

boom! !

With a loud bang, the kitchen door was violently pulled open by Inosuke, startling the villagers from the nearby sword-forging village so much that they almost dropped their plates.

Seeing this, Shinobu Kocho smiled and said, "You can't make a lot of noise in the cafeteria, okay?"

“Oh…” Inosuke scratched his head.

However, his attention was quickly drawn to the food in front of him, and he instantly forgot Shinobu Kocho's instructions.

"Wow~ Dinner's ready!!!"

Inosuke was jumping around in the room.

Shinobu Kocho's gentle smile froze, and a vein appeared on her forehead.

"Alright, Inosuke, be quiet." Although Inosuke didn't notice the change in Shinobu's expression, Tanjiro keenly sensed it and quickly pulled Inosuke back.

When the three people sat down beside her with their food, Yuko asked curiously, "Who were you talking about earlier?"

Unsurprisingly, the person who enraged Zenitsu and Inosuke was the one that Mitsuri Kanroji encountered.

Tanjiro scratched his head: "That one... is Shinazugawa Genya, who was in the same cohort as us."

"Don't even mention that guy! He's infuriating!" Zenitsu turned his anger into appetite as he ate.

Immortal River...

"Is it the Wind Pillar?" Yuko asked Shinobu Kocho, glancing sideways at her.

Shinobu Kocho nodded slightly: "Mr. Shinazugawa's younger brother, right? Ikuko should have met him before, right?"

"Whoa, it's that big guy who got his injuries treated at the Butterfly Mansion, he has the same scar on his face as Mr. Shinazugawa."

After Shinobu Kocho mentioned it, Ikuko did indeed recall it somewhat.

She looked very similar to Shinazugawa, and her aura was a bit strange, but she didn't pay much attention to it at the time.

As for the contemporaries Tanjiro mentioned, she had no recollection of them at all. By the way, is this person even in the story?

My sudden appearance here gives me a bad feeling.

Yu Zi frowned slightly.

"Huh? But Mr. Shinazugawa said he didn't have a younger brother. Does that mean they're not on good terms?" Mitsuri Kanroji looked at Shinobu Kocho in surprise. "Where did you find out, Shinobu?"

Butterfly chuckled and said, "Ah, my sister told me."

Kanroji Mitsuri put her index finger to her lips: "Kanae-nee... speaking of which, Mr. Shinazugawa always seems to be secretly watching her..."

"Could it be that he likes Kanae-nee?" A suspicious blush rose on Kanroji Mitsuri's face.

Shinobu's eye twitched; she couldn't refute it.

That guy, Shinazugawa, definitely seems to have feelings for my older sister.

However, although Shinazugawa seems to have a bad personality, he is actually a kind-hearted person despite his cold exterior. Since his older sister did not object, she, as the younger sister, could not say much.

Yuko narrowed her eyes slightly.

Wow, I see! I've got some interesting information!

The evil Shinazugawa brothers, she'll get her comeuppance sooner or later...

Ah, speaking of which, there's also that shady little snake-playing brat...

Yu Zi holds grudges; she remembers them all.

Tanjiro ate his meal and looked outside: "Genya hasn't arrived yet. I wish I could say a few words to him."

Mitsuri Kanroji hugged Nezuko with a silly grin and said, "It seems like that child won't come. The villagers say he doesn't eat at all. Did he bring his own food?"

Shinobu Kocho watched as she interacted intimately with the shrunken Nezuko, her eyes involuntarily sweeping over Ikuko a few times.

Ignoring Shinobu's strange gaze, Yuko tapped the table with a puzzled finger.

Not eating?

And that strange aura...

Could it be...

Tanjiro asked with some concern, "Are you alright? Or should I bring him some rice balls?"

Zenitsu, still bitterly eating, said, "Tanjiro, you're just too kind. Why bother with that kind of guy?"

Yuko suddenly became curious about what Genya Shinazugawa had done to offend him. Surely he couldn't have three wives too, could he?

Tanjiro casually asked, "By the way, why did Miss Kanroji join the Demon Slayer Corps?"

What else could it be? It must have been harmed by a ghost.

Yuko ate her food without a care in the world.

Kanroji Mitsuri suddenly blushed: "Hmm? Me? This is a little embarrassing to talk about~"

Ok?

Girl, what's with that expression?

"Oh no, what should we do? Do you want to hear my advice?"

Your expression doesn't look like you're in a difficult situation.

Yuko's lips twitched almost imperceptibly.

Kanroji Mitsuri cupped her face in her hands, looking shy, and said, "Actually, I'm looking for a husband I can grow old with!"

Everyone:...

To be honest, it's a bit too explosive.

So much so that everyone present, except for Shinobu Kocho who already knew the truth, was completely stunned.

"Isn't it better for girls to find someone who is better than them?"

"You want to be protected, you know? Boys probably don't understand this feeling," Mitsuri Kanroji muttered. "But Ikuko-san and Shinobu definitely understand, right?"

Yuko's brain is malfunctioning.

No... she doesn't understand!

You joined the Demon Slayer Corps because of something like that?

No, this child won't do.

Without the awareness that matches one's strength, it is impossible to defeat a powerful enemy.

"Um~ what do you think of me?" Zenitsu asked shyly, his face flushed as he looked at Kanroji Mitsuri.

Tanjiro coughed up blood, but he had already forgotten about it.

There's someone here looking for a wife too!

Tanjiro still remembers the time when he met Zenitsu, when he pestered the girl and wanted to marry her.
