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

Tweet~

A chorus of birds flapping their wings echoed through the woods.

Quiet~

Even Zenitsu and Inosuke, who were surrounding Tokito Muichiro on either side, couldn't help but turn around.

……

Yu Zi was speechless, practically with the word "speechless" tattooed on her face.

"Pfft~" Butterfly couldn't help but burst into laughter, breaking the tense atmosphere.

Tokito Muichiro approached the boy and held out his hand: "Alright, give me the key."

"I already told you that thing is about to break!"

"So what if it's broken? We can just make it again," Muichiro Tokito said expressionlessly. "How many people have died while you were rambling on like this?"

"That's what the obstruction pillar means."

Although it was difficult to sense any malice from the boy's words, the sarcasm in his speech made the people present somewhat uneasy.

Tanjiro was speechless, Zenitsu was grinding his teeth and was on the verge of exploding, and Inosuke was blowing two puffs of white steam from his nostrils.

"The value of a Pillar's time is completely different from yours. You can understand that with a little thought, right?" Tokito Muichiro, oblivious to the fact that everyone disliked him, raised his chin slightly. "Swordsmiths can't fight or save people. They're useless except for making weapons."

Upon hearing this, the man standing under the tree, Steel Tomb, clenched his fists slightly.

Although I understand that a swordsmith is useless against evil spirits, this brat's words are really awful.

Yuko's eyelids twitched. It really was... just as arrogant as Iwakatsu. She didn't believe they weren't related by blood.

"Give me the key." Tokito Muichiro stretched out his hand to the boy from above. " Figure out your position before you act. You're not a child."

Everyone: No, no, they're just kids!

Zenitsu instantly exploded: "Aaaaa!! I can't take it anymore!"

"That brat is asking for it! I'm going to beat him up!" Zenitsu turned around angrily to Ikuko and Shinobu, "Can I beat him up?"

Yu Zi took two steps back: "Please do as you wish."

Zenitsu's angry expression froze for a moment: "This brat looks much younger than me, isn't this a bit like the older brother bullying the younger one?"

Shinobu tilted her head and pondered, "Two years old, I guess. Tokito-kun is fourteen now, so it doesn't really count as bullying him."

Tanjiro looked surprised: "Wow, amazing~ Only fourteen years old..."

Zenitsu's expression stiffened even more: "Then, wouldn't it be inappropriate for me, as a regular team member, to attack a Pillar?"

Butterfly smiled and said, "It's alright, no one will care."

Zenitsu's angry expression vanished instantly, and his demeanor became much more amiable.

"Uh, well, I think..."

As soon as he spoke, Yu Zi coldly pointed out, "Don't tease him, this guy is obviously a coward."

Zenitsu instantly bristled: "Who's a coward! I'm just worried about what people will say!"

"Ah."

Zenitsu's mind went blank for a moment, and he turned around and shouted, "Hey, you arrogant brat, I advise you to be smart. Don't cry if we beat you up with so many of us."

Tokito Muichiro pointed expressionlessly behind him: "Is that so? But it seems like they don't want to talk to you."

"Huh?" Zenitsu quickly turned around, only to find that everyone had their backs to him and had gone to examine the doll.

"Wow, they're exactly the same!"

"A majestic and imposing appearance."

"But why are there six arms?"

"The prototype of that doll seems to actually exist. Without six arms, it's impossible to recreate that swordsman's movements," the boy explained, glancing furtively at Yuko.

It's not just a matter of "seems"; isn't there concrete evidence right here?

Upon hearing the boy's words, Yuko raised an eyebrow.

That's amazing! He can recreate Yoriichi's moves?

So, should we create more of them so that we can surround Muzan and beat him up?

She didn't believe it.

Apart from her, even Muzan wouldn't dare say he'd seen Yoriichi at his peak.

"Is this doll a relic from the Warring States period?"

Yuko tilted her head in thought: "I don't know."

"I haven't heard of it, but to make it so lifelike, the creator must have seen Yoriichi."

Not only is the outline of the Nichirin Blade in his hand perfectly replicated, but even the sun earrings are perfectly reproduced.

With so many details, it would be absolutely impossible to create this without having seen Yoriichi in person.

Perhaps it happened after they left.

"Huh? How do you know the doll's name?" The boy who was arguing with Muichiro Tokito just now joined in.

"What is the doll's name?"

"Yoriichi Zero Style".

"Hmm, then it must have been passed down from the Warring States period."

"That's what my father said too. Is my eldest sister a descendant of this swordsman?"

Yuko tilted her head uncertainly: "Descendant? It should be my younger sister."

"Hey~ You're kidding, that's hundreds of years ago."

"Yeah, it's a lie."

……

Seeing everyone looking so happy and harmonious, Zenitsu stared blankly into the wind, his forehead veins starting to bulge.

These bastards...

"Make way, stop wasting your time."

"Ah, sorry." Upon hearing the voice from behind, Zenitsu instinctively took a half step back to the side.

By the time he realized what was happening, Muichiro Tokito had already walked past him toward the doll.

Zenitsu felt a sudden rush of blood to his head; he'd been tricked!

"You brat! Stop right there!"

Zenitsu reached out his hand toward Muichiro's shoulder.

The small, thin figure vanished in an instant, and Zenitsu's angry eyes narrowed sharply.

So fast!

But after months of unremitting efforts, he is no longer the same person he used to be.

Zenitsu reached out and blocked the wrist that was attacking him without turning his head.

"Huh?" Tokito Muichiro's calm eyes showed a slight change in expression.

Zenitsu smirked, a smug look on his face: "You're still too green to ambush me..."

While he proudly raised his head, Tokito Muichiro stepped on his instep expressionlessly.

"it hurts!!!"

Zenitsu rolled on the ground in pain several times before scrambling to his feet, burning with rage, and yelled, "You brat! I'm going to kill you!"

Everyone:...

They're still making a scene.

Yuko sighed and said to Tokito Muichiro, "You want to use the puppet to hone your swordsmanship, right?"

"The same principle applies to different opponents, right?" Yuko pointed at Zenitsu. "How about letting this guy spar with you?"

Tokito Muichiro frowned slightly but said nothing.

He knew from Zenitsu's reaction that this noisy guy was indeed skilled.

Although they are not formidable opponents, they are sufficient for honing my sword technique.

"Just what I wanted!" Zenitsu was terrifyingly angry.

Ikuko waved her hand and shouted, "Go! Zenitsu! Inosuke!"

To prevent Zenitsu from getting beaten up, Ikuko thoughtfully brought Inosuke along as well.

"Whoa whoa!!"

Inosuke's favorite thing is fighting. Hearing Ikuko's call, he grabbed his sword and charged forward with Zenitsu.

An imposing presence that cannot be ignored.

Faced with the attacks of the two, even Tokito Muichiro, who was known as a Pillar, had no choice but to draw his Nichirin Blade and take it seriously.
