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

Muichiro Tokito, who had the same reaction as him, rushed straight up to Ikuko with his sword in hand.

He noticed Yu Zi's changes, and just as a sense of crisis arose in his heart and he was about to retreat, the intense fighting spirit emanating from Yu Zi froze him in place.

It's just the aura...

Is this the gap?

He didn't have time to think too much, because Yuko had already swung her knife at his neck.

Tokito Muichiro calmly adjusted his breathing. No, it was too late...

Yuko's swung blade suddenly reversed mid-flight, the gleaming edge aimed straight at Muichiro's neck.

Tokito Muichiro's pupils suddenly contracted, and the hairs on his body stood on end. His neck felt as if it were being stung.

His arms trembled slightly, and his body, which was gradually regaining control due to a sense of crisis, was about to break free from its restraints.

But Yuko's knife was even faster.

Can't catch up...

"Tokito-kun!" Tanjiro rushed in from the side and deflected Ikuko's blade.

Yuko stepped back, her eyelids slightly lowered as she sized up Tokito Muichiro.

He's definitely talented.

Even if an ordinary person knows it's training, it's impossible for them to remain calm in that situation. The instinctive aversion to danger ingrained in their biological instincts will subconsciously make them feel tense.

But Muichiro showed no change whatsoever; not even his heartbeat quickened.

This way, the markings wouldn't awaken, so within Yuko's control, she gave him a slight fright.

The effect was good. When she turned the blade, Tokito Muichiro's heart stopped for a moment, and then began to beat violently, and it has not calmed down since.

This child's awakening markings might cause more trouble than others.

Yuko couldn't help but think this way.

Because she could only simulate the feeling of putting people in a life-or-death situation, but she couldn't actually put them in that situation.

Muichiro, who was saved by Tanjiro, turned his head to look at Tanjiro, his mouth slightly open as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just turned his head back and got into a fighting stance.

Tanjiro didn't pay attention; he was deep in thought with a heavy heart.

Sure enough, that monster... felt even more oppressive.

By now he had become accustomed to Miss Yuko's imposing manner, but just recalling the monster's appearance made him tremble all over.

Miss Yuko... at that time, she might have died...

Tanjiro clenched his teeth lightly. He was really useless; he had no effect whatsoever.

Compared to the tense atmosphere here, Genya Shinazugawa, who was far away, was cursing in his heart.

hateful! hateful!

They could all move, but I was so frightened by that look that my body trembled.

That's so embarrassing.

For someone with an extremely strong sense of self-esteem, this behavior is tantamount to being killed.

"Ugh! Damn it!!!"

Shinazugawa Genya suddenly shouted, instantly attracting the attention of everyone except Muichiro.

Genya Shinazugawa, who already had a ferocious appearance, suddenly turned black in the whites of his eyes, his pupils became small golden dots, and sharp teeth grew out, making him look like a demon.

"A ghost!!!" Yinzi and Xiaotie, who were fighting just a moment ago, suddenly hugged each other.

A hint of surprise flashed in Yuko's eyes. Could this demonic state be used even during the day?

It wasn't a true demon transformation after all, just something that resembled one.

Moreover, the improvement is not significant.

Was it because the demon wasn't devoured in time?

This state is extremely unstable.

With the boost to his abilities after becoming a demon, Shinazugawa Genya managed to move, panting heavily.

Yinzi tilted her head: "What is that guy doing? He's been standing there in a daze the whole time."

Xiao Tie: "I don't know~"

Xuanmi's temples bulged with veins, damn it!!

Shinobu Kocho smiled slightly. "She's really amazing. She locked her fighting spirit onto her target, and even a creature with a keen sense of danger like the Kasugai Crow didn't notice."

This shows that Yuko's ability to control her breath has reached an extremely high level.

After breaking free of his restraints, Shinazugawa Genya charged forward with his iron sword, looking as if he wanted to wash away his shame.

Compared to the others' skillful sword techniques, Genmi's swordplay could only be described as a complete mess. It was not much better than that of a novice who had never held a sword before.

She only knows how to slash randomly with brute force, which can be summarized as "Xia Ji's Eight Slashes".

Those sweeping sword moves were too predictable; they didn't bother Yuko at all, let alone pose any threat. They were just recklessly charging around.

However, just as Yuko was drawn to the others, a sound of a mechanism colliding rang out behind her.

Yuko turned around and saw Genmi holding a musket in his hand.

boom! !

Flames shot out as a specially manufactured bullet was successfully fired.

Yu Zi turned slightly to the side, and the bullet flew past her cheek.

Although it felt like I lacked martial ethics, I was simply no match for her; she was too slow.

"Tch~" Genya clicked his tongue in annoyance and started loading the gun again.

Yu Zi was speechless. This guy... fired a shot right in front of her. Didn't he know that archers are a type of soldier who can only hide in the back and deal damage?

Huh? What does that mean?

Yuko originally intended to stab him, but suddenly noticed the saliva secreted from his mouth.

Clearly, the person he was impulsively targeting was not her.

Yu Zi frowned. Does this guy... also have the desire to eat people?

It's just that the demonization wasn't too severe, so he could control it.

If that's the case, the more ghosts this guy eats, will his body become unable to revert back to its original state?

This state is both a help and a danger to him.

"Tanjiro! Help me!!" At that moment, Genya Shinazugawa shouted.

The two exchanged a glance, and Tanjiro nodded slightly.

Yuko: Have these two gotten to this point in their relationship?

Tanjiro's attacks became more aggressive, and in response, Yuko ruthlessly scratched several bloody marks on his body.

Was he trying to get her attention by using this suicidal tactic?

However, if the difference in strength is too great, it won't work.

Yuko pressed her sword down on the back of Tanjiro's blade, and without turning her head, flung the scabbard behind her.

Shinazugawa Genya opened his mouth wide and charged straight at Yuko, his saliva-covered teeth aimed at her arm.

That's what I mean.

But it's a bit disgusting.

Yuko couldn't accept it, so she slapped a scabbard across his face, distorting Genya's cheek and sending him flying.

Compared to the others, this kid can be treated a little more violently.

Demon transformation allows one to inherit some of the regenerative abilities of demons. Although it cannot compare to the regenerative abilities of the object being devoured, it is still far superior to that of humans. It can even regenerate severed limbs.

Aside from recovery speed, there isn't much difference between them and ghosts.

"Now!!" Xuanmi shouted as he was sent flying backward.

While Yuko was distracted, she was already surrounded by the crowd.

"Breath of the Sun..."

"Breathing of Thunder..."

"Breathing of the Mist..."

"Beast Breathing..."

Ikuko was slightly stunned.

huh?

This situation doesn't look quite right.
