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

In the village of forging knives, in front of the workshop.

"You dreamt about me?"

"Huh? You dreamt about Miss Yuko?"

A chorus of doubts and exclamations of surprise filled the air.

Zenitsu reached out and grabbed Tanjiro's collar, puffing out two puffs of white steam from his nostrils: "Hey kid, don't get any ideas at fifteen!"

"No, Zenitsu." Tanjiro broke free from Zenitsu's grasp, hesitated for a moment, and looked hesitant. "I can't explain it either, but I think I dreamed about Yoriichi."

"It's that swordsman who started breathing."

"I dreamt that he was with Ms. Yuko and my ancestors."

Shinobu Kocho rested her cheek on her index finger: "Could it be because Yuuko mentioned something to you, and that's what made the connection?"

"What you think about during the day, you dream about at night."

Tanjiro hesitated and said, "I don't understand either, but that dream was very real, and I still remember it clearly."

Butterfly tilted her head slightly: "Was it a lucid dream?"

Yu Zi pondered for a moment, then asked, "Do you know the name of your ancestor?"

She never told Tanjiro her ancestor's name, only mentioning that there was such a person.

"Tanjiro." Tanjiro didn't hesitate at all.

Yuko's eyes widened slightly: "It really is Tanjiro..."

"Could it be that you accidentally let it slip?" Inosuke idly picked his pig nose.

Yuko shook her head: "No, I remember very clearly, I didn't tell Tanjiro about this."

"Who can say for sure? Your memory is almost degenerating into that of a fish..."

boom! ! !

With a single punch, Inosuke was killed. Ikuko withdrew her hand, which was still emitting white smoke: "There is another way to prove it."

Shinobu Kocho: "What?"

Yuko asked seriously, "Question: Where are Yoriichi's markings located?"

"The forehead! Down to below the eyes, it's very similar to mine."

Zenitsu rolled his eyes: "Could it be that you're getting too immersed in the role?"

“No, Tanjiro is right.” Ikuko looked at Tanjiro with suspicion.

The three siblings have different markings: Yoriichi's is on his forehead, hers is on the side of his face and neck, while Kokushibo's is a combination of Yoriichi's and hers, with markings on both his forehead and neck.

You can't know something like this unless you've seen it with your own eyes.

Zenitsu's eyes widened: "No way? Wasn't that swordsman from the Sengoku period?"

Tanjiro shrugged: "That's why I said I don't understand."

Yuko turned to Shinobu Kocho and asked, "What does Shinobu think?"

After hearing Yuuko's affirmative answer, Shinobu lowered her head slightly and began to think. Upon hearing Yuuko's question, she couldn't help but ponder for a moment.

"Hmm~ It's probably related to genetics, right? Genetic inheritance, inherited memory or something like that."

Yu Zi's lips twitched: "That sounds ridiculous."

"But is there any other answer besides thinking this way?"

"Maybe it's a dream?" Inosuke said in a simple, honest voice, having somehow gotten up from the ground.

Yu Zi was taken aback: "Shouldn't he have dragged it for me?"

Who are the real family members?

Shinobu Kocho glanced sideways: "But Ikuko rarely sleeps at night, right?"

Ikuko: "..."

She couldn't refute.

Of course, Yuko felt that the idea of ​​being visited in a dream was also far-fetched. Hundreds of years have passed, so why hasn't the person been reincarnated?

Yuko sighed, her eyelids drooping as she looked at Tanjiro: "If it was a dream, did Yoriichi say anything to you? Like, whether he could possess you to fight or something?"

Everyone: "..."

That's even more outrageous!

Tanjiro's face twitched twice, and he frowned slightly, saying, "Although it's a dream, I think it's more likely that Shinobu-san mentioned inherited memories."

"Because I can only watch Tanji interact with other people, and I can't even speak."

Shinobu Kocho looked surprised: "What a strange coincidence."

Yu Zi nodded slightly.

I was even able to dream of the Warring States period, of my ancestors' memories.

Could this be some kind of omen?

"I've kept you waiting, Lord Butterfly. Please hand over the Nichirin Blade to me." At that moment, a blacksmith wearing a fire-man mask walked out of the workshop.

Shinobu Kocho handed over the Nichirin Blade: "Ah, please, just give it a little maintenance."

The village chief toured the workshop, then came out and looked up at Yuko: "Lord Yuko, regarding your Nichirin Blade, the lord hopes that I will take full responsibility."

Yu Zi bowed slightly: "Then I'll leave it to the village chief."

The village chief nodded slightly: "But there are no records of Snow Breathing swordsmen in the village. To forge a suitable..."

"Oh!!!"

Suddenly, a loud shout rang out in the distance.

Everyone turned to look, and saw a freak wearing a fire mask and shirtless charging towards them from the end of the road.

Yu Zi's eye twitched. What was he going to do now?

She's getting tired of it.

Yuko suddenly shoved Tanjiro, pushing him out of the group.

Alright, you two can have fun now, but don't bother the other people.

"Huh?" Tanjiro staggered a couple of steps to steady himself, but before he could turn around to find out who had pushed him, Hidetoshi Tsukasa, shirtless and showing off his strong muscles, was already rushing towards his face.

"Eek!!!" Tanjiro covered himself with his hands in fear, not daring to open his eyes.

A strong gust of wind swept by.

One second...two seconds...

"Huh?" Tanjiro lowered his hand, finding no one in front of him.

What about people?

He instinctively turned around and saw Steel Mound kneeling on the ground with his knees together, his head hitting the ground heavily, kneeling in front of Yuko in a posture resembling a dogeza (a traditional Chinese kowtow).

Yuko's crimson eyes trembled twice, and she involuntarily took a step back, her hand instinctively reaching out to pull at Butterfly Shinobu beside her, grabbing her sleeve.

Shinobu Kocho paused for a moment, lowered her head, and secretly glanced at Ikuko's slightly forceful fingers before silently reaching out and touching them.

Yuko was completely unaware, because it was too embarrassing!

The dogeza, in theory, is a high form of etiquette that signifies the status of the other party.

but……

She was the only one who couldn't hold on.

Just looking at it gives me the creeps.

What a shame.

Even if she is the one being respected.

"Please!" Haganezuka shouted, "Give me the opportunity to forge a Nichirin Blade!"

"I will definitely forge a weapon that will satisfy you!"

Yuko almost instinctively wanted to agree with him, hoping that this pervert would return to normal.

But a last shred of reason made her glance at the leader of the knife-forging village, the village chief.

The village chief stared silently at the steel mound. After a moment, he turned to Yuko and asked, "Lady Yuko, could you give this child a chance?"

"Hotaru's love for swords is no less than that of anyone in the sword-forging village."

"firefly?"

"Steel Mound Firefly, what do you think of the name I chose? Isn't it cute?"

"..."

Hearing the village chief's words, Yu Zi nodded vigorously: "Anything is fine, anything is fine."

Whether it suits you or not is no longer important; the important thing is that you get up quickly!

Everyone around is looking over!
