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

Back at Sanemi Shinazugawa's mansion, you can hear lively sounds coming from the kitchen from a great distance.

"Wait! This needs to be heated up first." Nezuko puffed out her cheeks and glared at Tengen Uzui with dissatisfaction.

Yuzui Tengen paused for a moment, holding the dried fish in his hand, and glanced down at her.

The two stared at each other, their eyes seemingly sparking a flame.

"Awoo~" Uzui Tengen raised his head, opened his mouth wide, and swallowed the dried fish.

Nezuko: "..."

Yuzui Tengen chuckled and shook his head smugly.

Yuko leaned against the doorway, her lips twitching slightly: "Are you a child?"

Shinobu Kocho added, "Yuko, just forgive him."

"After all, he only has two years left, so it's good for him to have children ahead of time."

Uzui Tengen almost vomited blood; these two were really going too far.

"Hey, isn't someone missing?" Yuko looked around curiously. "Where are those two annoying faces?"

Tanjiro nearly choked on the dumpling in his mouth when he heard this. He patted his chest twice, swallowed, and said with a embarrassed look, "Mr. Shinazugawa... is still not awake."

"Mr. Ihei carried him back."

Ikuko: "..."

Oh, she remembered.

Yuko consciously shut her mouth.

but.

Tanjiro is really too naive.

He was carrying Shinazugawa on his back when he came back, so Obanai Iguro taking over the mission at this point clearly means he didn't want to come to the cafeteria.

Yuko could probably understand what that guy was thinking.

Obanai Iguro... the scars on his face were not removed with her blood.

Under the gaze of the transparent field, Yuko could clearly see that it was a grotesque wound, like the mouth of a snake.

Just like his breathing technique and sword stance.

In short, it's not aesthetically pleasing.

Although he doesn't know why he's unwilling to remove it, he still doesn't want anyone to see it.

His appearance.

Ikuko hadn't actively inquired about Obanai Iguro's affairs, but she wasn't usually one to take initiative.

The only thought was that since he himself had no intention of removing the scars, there was no need to ask any more questions.

"Ah, everyone, come and try this." Kanroji Mitsuri came over with a plate in her arms and stuffed the food into the girls' mouths one by one, as if feeding them.

"I..." Before Yuko could refuse, a piece of pastry was stuffed into her mouth.

"How is it? How is it? It's delicious, isn't it?" Kanroji Mitsuri chuckled, a blush spreading across her cheeks.

"It tastes pretty good." Kanae smiled slightly. "But we've already experienced Nezuko's cooking skills."

"I'm almost tired of eating it."

Kanroji Mitsuri's cheeks were bulging, it was hard to tell whether it was from being stuffed with food or from being angry.

She kicked her foot and turned her head away: "Kanae is so mean~"

Kanae couldn't help but want to laugh, and was about to continue teasing her, when she heard Nezuko's voice.

"Is Kanae already tired of it?"

Kanae blushed and quickly denied it: "No, no, I was just kidding."

"I would never get tired of Nezuko's cooking, even if I ate it for decades."

Shinobu Kocho: “…”

Why has her sister become so funny too?

"That's right! I could eat this kind of food every day and I wouldn't get tired of it!" Kyojuro laughed heartily, food crumbs still around his mouth.

Yu Zi couldn't stand the lively atmosphere and took her leave, saying, "You guys keep eating, I'm going back now."

Shinobu Kocho: "Get some rest."

"Ah."

Rest is impossible; I'll never be able to rest in this lifetime.

No, it's still possible after defeating Muzan, right?

With that thought in mind, Yuko walked out of the kitchen.

"etc……!"

Suddenly, Kanroji Mitsuri's voice came from behind. Ikuko turned around and saw the girl rushing towards her.

He hesitated for a moment, then did not dodge.

Catching Kanroji Mitsuri, Ikuko helped her sit up straight: "What's wrong?"

Upon hearing this, Kanroji Mitsuri looked behind her nervously. Seeing that no one paid attention to her actions, she dragged Ikuko to the corner.

“That…that…it’s…” Kanroji Mitsuri fidgeted restlessly, poking her fingers together.

Yu Zi was both amused and exasperated: "Just say what you want to say."

Kanroji Mitsuri hesitated for a moment, then leaned closer and whispered, "I'm the only one who hasn't awakened my Demon Slayer Mark yet. Could you give me some extra help, Yuuko?"

After saying that, she shrank back and covered her face.

"It's so embarrassing. Everyone else started it smoothly, but I'm the only one who did..."

Ikuko: "..."

She thought it was something serious.

It's not a matter of losing face; she thinks it's just too foolish.

For a moment, I didn't know whether to refuse or tell her the truth.

This child is really too dull.

Yuko sighed: "No problem."

"I knew it!" Kanroji Mitsuri hugged her tightly and nuzzled against her. "Yuko is so nice."

Yu Zi pried her apart, saying, "Go back and eat your food."

"Oh right! They're going to be eaten by everyone else!" Kanroji Mitsuri suddenly realized and quickly ran back.

Yu Zi watched her turn into the kitchen, then shook her head helplessly.

Well, there's still time.

Yuko was about to go back to her room when suddenly, as if she had sensed something, she lightly leaped onto the roof.

With a few leaps, they escaped from Shinazugawa's mansion.

……

Hiding in the shadows of a street corner, Yuko watched as objects resembling eyeballs disappeared into the night.

There were many of them, but they were no bigger than mice.

"That is……"

Are they Muzan's minions?

Have we already gotten this far?

Yuko's heart sank; this was something that couldn't be taken lightly.

Her senses weren't particularly strong, but after Tamayo modified her body, her range of perception increased considerably.

She only realized it tonight.

They must have come knocking on our door tonight.

Based on his understanding of Muzan, Muzan wouldn't rashly attack before fully understanding the situation.

Yuko knew very well that the guy was even more cowardly than a rat.

They will not let the slightest disturbance go unnoticed.

He will definitely explore the entire Demon Slayer Corps base and figure out the composition of the forces before launching an attack.

Yu Zi concealed her presence and figure, and in a few flashes, she caught up with the group of ugly, big-eyed creatures.

One deformed product after another scattered along the street corner.

Yu Zi thought to himself, "As expected, we still haven't figured out the specifics."

After sensing carefully once more, I confirmed that there were no other auras present.

Yuko slipped away, avoiding the detection of these strange creatures.

She was thinking about how far Muzan had explored before she could discover their little tricks at just the right moment.

Or rather, how broad is the scope of Kokushibo's perception?

What distance is considered normal?
