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

Despite Yuko's polite explanation, Tokito Muichiro still bowed expressionlessly.

"Many thanks."

This child is surprisingly serious.

Moreover, he is much more frank than his ancestors.

"Hmph! I'll let you off this time, but if you bully that child again next time, I'll make you pay." On the other side, Gin finally chose to forgive Zenitsu amidst his pleas for mercy.

Zenitsu stared at his hair, which had been pecked and messed up by the silver, and felt like crying.

"Chirp chirp~" Zenitsu's sparrow chirped, but it was unclear what it was trying to say.

Ikuko:......

So why is this guy's harpoon a sparrow?

Is it really possible to understand someone speaking like that?

Can the mission really proceed smoothly?

Yuko shook her head, too lazy to bother with these things. She looked up at Tokito Muichiro and said, "The simplest way to activate the mark is still through intense pressure, breaking through the limits between life and death."

Tokito Muichiro nodded slightly: "I understand."

Seeing everyone's knowing expressions, Xuanmi was completely bewildered and quickly asked, "Wait, what exactly are these markings you're talking about?"

“This is it, the ability to unlock the limits of the body.” Yuko pointed to her cheek.

Xuanmi's lips twitched: "Isn't that just a regular tattoo?"

Tanjiro explained, "No, Genya, this appears naturally after breaking through the limit."

"Zenitsu, Inosuke, and I have all awakened our Demon Slayer Marks."

Xuanmi turned around, looking incredulous: "Your faces don't have anything on them, do they?"

Tanjiro scratched his cheek somewhat awkwardly: "Well, we can't maintain the Demon Slayer Mark like Ms. Yuuko."

"It can only be mastered gradually through combat."

Xuan Mi:......

If Lian Zhu hadn't shown no sign of questioning, he would have definitely thought these people were talking nonsense.

While Genmi was still grumbling to himself, Yuko poured cold water on his anger.

"As for the markings, it's unlikely that one can awaken them without mastering the breathing technique."

Although there is no clear evidence, the development of skin markings requires a certain pulse rate and body temperature. Body temperature is often reflected in the precision of breathing techniques. The more extreme the breathing, the easier it is to achieve this. Those who cannot achieve this are already dead.

"At least, I have never seen anyone awaken their markings without knowing how to breathe properly."

As for Yoriichi's innate markings, the Sun Breathing technique wasn't something Yoriichi specifically created; rather, it was named after his breathing method. In other words, his Sun Breathing was also innate.

Tanjiro once said that his father's scar on his forehead seemed to be something he was born with.

But Yuko felt that it wasn't a mark. Although she had only glanced at it briefly, it was hard to call that scar a mark.

"I'm not interested. I don't care about any kind of markings or anything else. I have my own way of getting stronger." Shinazugawa Genya gritted his teeth, deliberately pretending to be indifferent.

Yuko sensed the bitterness and bravado in his words, but she didn't expose him.

"Well, after all that talk, practice is the only way to test the truth." Yuko held a knife in one hand and a scabbard in the other. "Let's try attacking first."

Everyone drew their Nichirin Blades from their waists.

"Huh?" Shinazugawa Genya looked at everyone with surprise and uncertainty. Before he could say anything, Inosuke and Tokito Muichiro had already rushed forward.

Inosuke: Wahaha! Take this!

Tokito Muichiro: ...

Zenitsu groaned and hesitated as he drew his Nichirin Blade, looking like he was about to give up.

Only Tanjiro noticed Genya's unusual behavior, stopped in his tracks, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Genya Shinazugawa watched as Ikuko effortlessly handled the attacks from the two men, beads of sweat sliding down his forehead.

Just kidding.

That's a pillar, you know.

He was already wondering if this group of people were going to attack together.

How could we possibly win that way?

Although I'm reluctant to admit it, there are two Pillars among them.

But now, with Zenitsu added to the mix, none of the three attacks had any effect, as the woman remained standing still without moving an inch.

He's incredibly strong, probably even stronger than Mr. Beimingyu.

"No...no problem." Shinazugawa Genya's pupils trembled slightly.

No...that's not right...

It wasn't just that woman who was strong; everyone else was strong too.

That idiot with blond hair and that pig-headed guy are ridiculously strong... Damn it, I can hardly see them all.

Tanjiro becoming a Pillar before him was already a huge blow to Genya, but now even those two guys he considered idiots are ridiculously strong.

He was actually the weakest person?

Thinking about his previous behavior, Xuanmi couldn't help but blush.

Tanjiro thought he was worried about hurting Ikuko, so he comforted him, "Don't worry, Miss Ikuko is very strong. Even if everyone goes all out, they are no match for her."

"Tanpachiro! What are you doing?! You can't hold on much longer!" Inosuke yelled, then, distracted, he was sent flying by Ikuko. "Whoa~"

Yuko turned the scabbard around with her left hand, parrying the attack from Tokito Muichiro behind her without turning her head, her expression indifferent: "What do you mean you can't hold on? My warm-up isn't even over yet."

Although Muichiro Tokito is a genius, he is still too young, and the pressure on her is not much greater than that on Tanjiro.

Silver flapped its wings in the distance: "Is that guy a monster?"

"Even Muichiro couldn't defeat him."

Xiao Tie snapped out of his shock and nodded silently: "Yeah, it was a complete thrashing."

"Who do you think you are to speak!" Silver's eyes flashed with anger, and it flapped its wings and began pecking at people.

"Whoa!"

Shinobu Kocho watched the person and bird hopping left and right, and calmly stood in place drinking her tea.

No matter how many times I watch it, I still think Yuko is amazing.

Shinobu Kocho's face showed little joy. The stronger Ikuko was, the stronger her brother, and even Muzan, was.

That's not enough; that's their strength.

At the very least, there must be forces that can help.

……

hateful!

These guys are getting faster and faster, he can't see them anymore!

Genya Shinazugawa's forehead was covered in cold sweat, but he gritted his teeth and charged forward.

Never mind, things will work themselves out. Let's just fight first...

boom! ! !

Her flowing red hair turned white in an instant, her crimson double pupils seemed to stick together like water droplets, and her golden eyes were slightly squeezed and deformed, turning into vertical pupils.

Those golden vertical pupils seemed to have only glanced at him casually, in that instant when their eyes met.

A terrifying, heavy feeling that seemed to transcend distance pressed down on my heart.

What?!

Genya Shinazugawa stood there, struggling to breathe. The scene before him quickly faded, leaving only an increasingly tall and dark figure, like a mountain pressing down on him.

My body... I can't move...
