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

“Incompetent…” Yuko stroked her chin. “Muichiro used to live with his older brother and depend on each other for survival, right?”

"I don't remember." Muichiro shook his head calmly, silently chewing on the word "brother," and a figure could be vaguely seen, speaking in broken sentences as if he were saying something.

“Then those words must have been said by Muichiro’s older brother,” Yuko analyzed. “Incompetent and such, that’s probably what Muichiro was like before.”

"To put it bluntly, you're just a piece of trash... right?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Shinobu Kocho couldn't help but poke her with her fingertip.

A deathly smile spread across his face: "What nonsense are you spouting?"

Kanae said, embarrassed, "Miss Yuko, that's a bit much."

It will plunge Muichiro into sadness.

Yu Zi gave an awkward smile: "I was just joking because he seemed to care too much about the past."

Upon hearing this, Muichiro's blue eyes flashed with a thoughtful expression, and he murmured, "Useless...me?"

Shinobu Kocho frantically waved her hands: "Ikuko was just joking!"

Oh no, this kid is going to take it seriously.

Upon receiving Shinobu's deathly smile, Yuuko quickly tried to salvage the situation, saying, "I've heard Lady Amane say that your brother is actually a very good person."

She actually heard it from Shinobu Kocho.

When Ubuyashiki Amane brought Tokito Muichiro back, she told Kocho Shinobu about his general situation.

The two brothers, who originally depended on each other for survival, were attacked by evil spirits, and only Muichiro survived.

Given the existence of spirits and deities, living in the mountains does indeed carry certain risks.

“A very good person…” Muichiro looked up at the sky, and for some reason, a strange voice appeared in his mind again.

"Muichiro's 'Mu' is infinite 'Mu'..."

The voices all seem the same.

It was a voice that appeared in his mind when he was in the sword-forging village.

Can't remember.

He didn't like thinking about these things; he felt they were a waste of time and unnecessary to consider.

Yu Zi sighed and patted his shoulder: "That's probably a very precious memory for you, but it's okay if you can't remember it right now. You'll remember it sooner or later."

Well, isn't this the kind of thing that happens when you're on the verge of death?

It must be that her performance today wasn't good enough, that she didn't exert enough pressure, and that she failed to make Muichiro enter the revolving door.

“Precious memories.” Muichiro lowered his eyelids.

He doesn't really understand these things...

What precious memories.

It feels like we're exploring a meaningless topic.

but……

There's a strong urge in my mind to retrieve my past memories, otherwise... I'll lose something.

He had that feeling.

Muichiro bowed slightly and gave Yuko a deep bow: "I'll be counting on you next time too."

Having said that, the child didn't wait for anyone else and turned to leave.

Yu Zi watched his retreating figure and couldn't help but scratch her head in frustration: "That's why I'm not very good at dealing with this type of person."

Butterfly rolled her eyes at her: "Then you'd better shut your mouth, okay?"

"Honestly, he always says some nonsensical things."

She used to think Yuko was cute; she was always quiet and reserved, the kind of person who made people worry about her.

Why is your personality getting weirder and weirder?

"Well, I was just trying to lighten the mood, wasn't I?"

Yu Zi also had something to say. She was feeling quite down, but with so many people caring about her, if she didn't become more cheerful, wouldn't that be a bit unfair to them?

"Seriously..." Shinobu Kocho rolled her eyes again and said dejectedly, "Let's go back."

Kanae rubbed her stomach and smiled, saying, "I'm a little hungry. Let's hurry up and go."

"If we're slow, other people will snatch up our late-night snacks."

Upon hearing this, Kanao's eyes lit up, and she grabbed Kanae's arm and walked quickly forward.

Kanae couldn't help but laugh as she was pulled away.

Shinobu Kocho chuckled to herself, "Don't let their gender fool you, these two girls have quite a big appetite."

The two walked back side by side. Under the cool moonlight, the scorching air of the day seemed much cooler.

Shinobu Kocho suddenly asked, "Did Ikuko hold back just now?"

Although she didn't know why she suddenly asked this, Yuko still replied:

"Going easy on them? I can only say they weren't that serious." Yuko was lost in her memories.

Ultimately, the main goal is to help them reach their physical limits and unlock the realms of markings and clarity.

If it were a life-or-death battle, Yuko would have tried to reduce their numbers from the start, instead of patiently waiting for them to reach their limits step by step.

But no matter what, when she was finally defeated by the combined efforts of everyone, she showed no sign of holding back.

Shinobu Kocho gave her a strange look: "Really?"

I wonder if Yuko noticed, but from her perspective, after being affected by Yuko's cold aura, the other people's movements became stiffer than a little bit, and both their speed and strength should have decreased.

Yuko seemed to understand her confusion and explained, "I was indeed startled by them."

“In that state, they were all still able to stand up and move around.”

"And Tanjiro, who successfully awakened the Transparent Domain under such extreme conditions, is something I never expected."

"Therefore, I suffered a bit of a loss."

Yuko herself had forgotten that she actually believed in so-called human miracles.

After all, she activated the Crimson Blade when it was 'impossible'.

Shinobu couldn't help but ask another question: "Is the Transparent Domain really that powerful?"

“Yes, the Transparent Domain is not just about simply seeing through the enemy’s movements.” Yuko nodded slightly, “It also greatly improves one’s own abilities.”

"The improvement in the use of moves and the details of dodging moves is hard to describe."

It may be just a tiny difference, but the difference is vast.

Shinobu Kocho couldn't quite grasp the difference, and could only sigh, "That child is indeed very talented, truly amazing."

"Is that so?" Yuko's eyes shifted slightly. "Given the child's level of effort, this reward seems justified."

They all saw Tanjiro's hard work.

Aside from eating and sleeping, I spend all my time exercising.

Yuko does train herself, but not physically.

Whether human or demon, once you reach your limit, it becomes very difficult to become stronger through ordinary means.

As for Yuko, she is a demon who doesn't eat human flesh, so her physical constitution is inferior to that of other demons.

If it weren't for the large dose of blood her cheap older brother gave her, she might have lost her regenerative abilities even after hundreds of years without food or water.

Yuko's training mostly involves meditation, whether it's breathing techniques or developing sword forms.

At her level, this is really all she can do.
