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

Yuko tilted her head, pretending to listen: "What's wrong?"

Butterfly swallowed hard, her ears burning red.

But she knew that she absolutely could not back down at this moment.

Go for it!

Shinobu Kocho took a deep breath: "I have something to say..."

wow...

Yuko, who was sitting behind her, suddenly stood up, startling Shinobu Kocho, whose brain had been working at high precision, into a momentary lapse, and she subconsciously turned around.

"Ikuko?"

"It's nothing, just four corpses walking around." Yuko looked calmly into the woods.

"Huh?" Shinobu Kocho was taken aback. Before she could react, Ikuko had already come ashore and put on her yukata.

"Wait a minute, I'll be right back."

Her wet, red hair, left untrimmed, hung limply on her yukata, making the already dark yukata appear even darker.

Yuko casually picked up the Shura sword next to her clothes, picked it up, and headed down the mountain.

Butterfly realized what was happening too late, and her heart instantly felt heavy.

Is the corpse walking?

Is a ghost coming?

How did they manage to find their way to the village of swordsmiths?

Shinobu Kocho didn't have time to think it through. She instantly forgot her shyness from before, quickly dressed, grabbed her Nichirin Blade, and chased after him.

That would be terrible; we must notify the village chief as soon as possible to contact the villagers to evacuate.

……

At the foot of Hot Spring Mountain, a few uninvited guests arrived on the deserted stone steps.

The figure moved forward timidly, clinging to the trees, not daring to appear on the moonlit stone steps.

"Let's not, Zenitsu, let's go back!" At that moment, a slightly worried voice rang out.

The shadowy figure moved through the shadows of the trees, revealing its face in the moonlight.

"I refuse!" Zenitsu Gasai retorted firmly. "Are you kidding me!"

"It was supposed to be a mixed-gender hot spring, but after two days I haven't seen anything."

Tanjiro broke out in a cold sweat. That's not the problem at all!

If Ms. Yuuko finds out, Zenitsu is doomed!

Wake up, you idiot!

"Miss Yuuko will kill us." Tanjiro was very worried; he had come along with the intention of persuading Zenitsu.

Clearly, Zenitsu was now completely consumed by lust and couldn't understand human speech.

Zenitsu turned around, his face resolute: "I'd rather die than not see a girl's body!"

Tanjiro:......

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Shinazugawa Genya's forehead. This guy... had such a serious and earnest expression; anyone who didn't know better would think it was something solemn.

So... why did he follow us?

After Tanjiro returned his teeth to him, the four of them became friends despite their initial conflict.

Although Zenitsu and Inosuke were still a bit annoyed, Tanjiro acted as a peacemaker, and they quickly became friends.

Then, taking advantage of the quiet of the night, Tanjiro suggested that they soak in a hot spring together.

I was hoping that we could get to know each other better.

Zenitsu was initially a bit annoyed and didn't want to soak in a hot spring with a group of men.

After returning home and not seeing Ikuko and the others, Zenitsu suddenly had a bold idea.

then……

He pulled everyone over without them even realizing it.

Inosuke said naively, "If you want to see it, why don't you just ask them?"

Zenitsu was speechless: "Inosuke, you... never mind, you can just stand in front if we get discovered later."

Inosuke, puffing out white breath from his pig-like nose, confidently declared, "Oh! So you're going to fight that woman, huh?"

Hearing the conversation between the three, Shinazugawa Genya's eyes widened in surprise. Were these guys really out of their minds?

Yes, don't let his fierce appearance fool you; he's so ugly he could scare the neighbor's kids to tears.

But after getting to know him a little, you'll find that he's actually a straightforward guy with a lot to say... well, a bit of a closet pervert.

After walking a few more steps, Zenitsu turned back, put a finger to his lips, and whispered, "Shh! We're almost there! Don't make a sound! This is it!"

Tanjiro's lips twitched. "Stop fooling around, let's go back..."

Zenitsu clicked his tongue in annoyance: "Tanjiro, that's why you can't find a girlfriend, because you're always so worried."

"Huh?" Tanjiro realized he couldn't keep up with Zenitsu's way of thinking at all.

Besides, wouldn't that make it even less likely for girls to like you?

Just as he was about to continue persuading Zenitsu, a night breeze swept across the mountaintop, bringing a faint fragrance.

This flavor... is Yuko's...

Tanjiro's expression froze instantly as he looked at the stone steps at the mountaintop.

"Listen carefully, if we get caught later, we'll pretend we know nothing." Zenitsu was still giving the group behind him a training session on the plan, completely oblivious to the strange looks on their faces. "Just insist that we came here for a hot spring too, and that we never expected to run into anyone else, understand?"

Zenitsu unconsciously imagined a beautiful figure in the hot spring, and a perverted blush rose on his face.

Hehe~ Hehe~

As long as I can see it, even getting a beating is worth it.

"Are you even listening...?" Zenitsu, who hadn't received a response after a few seconds, snapped out of his daze and looked at the group with displeasure.

Everyone's eyes turned past him and looked up at the top of the steps.

Zenitsu's heart skipped a beat.

Oh no, I have a bad feeling.

He almost forgot that his most valuable skill, hearing, was completely useless in front of Yuko.

Zenitsu turned around stiffly, and sure enough, a figure in black with red hair stood on the moonlit stone steps.

There was not a sound; it was as deep and silent as a bottomless abyss, so quiet that it was frightening.

It's like being ten thousand meters deep in the ocean, where you can't hear a sound or see a light.

"Um, Miss Yuko, what a coincidence..." Zenitsu swallowed hard, and said tremblingly, "You're here to soak in the hot springs too?"

Yuko remained expressionless: "Really? It doesn't matter if you die?"

These guys... they really dare to do that.

She originally thought that Zenitsu was just an idiot who only dared to talk the talk, but she didn't expect him to actually put it into action.

Zenitsu's heart sank. Oh no!

Everything was heard.

It's all over now!

Not only did I not see anything, but I'm probably going to get a beating now.

I don't want to get beaten up after not gaining any advantage!

Zenitsu cried out in despair.

"You...you're the woman who bullied my brother at the Zhuhe Conference?"

Suddenly, Shinazugawa Genya looked at Yuko with a displeased expression.

Yu Zi frowned: "Huh?"

She was momentarily surprised to see Genya tell the truth. This seemingly burly guy was actually causing trouble with Zenitsu.

But what does that mean?

Tanjiro was completely confused: "Genya, what are you talking about?"

Shinazugawa Genya pointed at Yuko, looking displeased: "This woman is bullying my brother because she takes advantage of the lord's trust."

Is this guy out of his mind?

Yu Zi's usually cold and aloof face froze slightly.

If we're talking about bullying, wasn't it Shinazugawa Sanemi who gave her attitude and isolated her?

She couldn't remember what she had done to offend the Shinazugawa brothers.

Or is it just that Sanemi Shinazugawa is spreading rumors?

"Oh! There's nothing a fight can't solve, Rooster Hair, let's go!"

Without time to explain, Inosuke, whose mind was filled with nothing but fighting, drew his Nichirin Blade and charged forward.

"Eh?"

Now it was Shinazugawa Genya's turn to be shocked.

Although he was angry that this woman bullied his brother, he didn't think it was necessary to draw his sword against her, did he?
