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

No, Muzan Kibutsuji's target is her. As long as she doesn't show herself, he won't make any rash moves.

At this point, she began to feel fortunate that she had listened to Tamayo's advice and turned Nezuko back into a human.

Otherwise, if Nezuko's body also develops abnormalities, Muzan will have another option.

Moreover, Nezuko would have little chance of survival against Muzan.

……

So why didn't she want Nezuko to turn back into a human so quickly?

Yuko shook her head, unable to explain herself.

What if Nezuko and Tanjiro are just using cheat codes?

Just like tonight, under those conditions, he was able to suddenly emerge from the brink of despair.

This was simply unbelievable to Yuko.

What if the ending is everyone shouting about bonds and friendships, only to slap Muzan in the face?

Yuko didn't want to think about it too much; once a decision was made, there was no point in thinking about it any further.

She needs to avoid those strange eyes and buy herself some more time.

He will reappear after others have reaped the rewards of their training.

As long as she remains calm, Muzan will not act rashly.

At the current rate, it would take the enemy a considerable amount of time to search the entire Demon Slayer Corps, even with their large number of eyeballs.

After all, they only operate at night, and the Demon Slayer Corps also has members on night patrol.

To explore the Demon Slayer Corps' base while avoiding the team members' patrols, it will take significantly more time.

Of course, the method of concealing one's aura with those eyes... no, it's not so much a method as an ability.

Their ability to conceal their presence is extremely impressive.

She might have been fooled in the past.

Even with Tanjiro's incredibly sensitive nose, he couldn't detect it.

This is the power of Blood Demon Art, as if it has mastered the Transparent World, its aura is almost completely concealed.

Yuko couldn't help but recall the character '肆' engraved on the eyeball. If she wasn't mistaken, that should be the power of Upper Moon Four.

However, according to Tanjiro and the others, the Upper Moon Four they are confronting, the demon named Hantengu, should have different abilities than the one in front of them.

In other words... the new Upper Moon Four?

For some reason, Yuko suddenly thought of the figure she had seen when she was in the sword-forging village, peering down from the entrance of the Infinite City in a panic.

Is he the master of the Infinite City?

She didn't actually know the other person's identity; perhaps it was even Upper Moon Zero, surpassing Kokushibo.

After all, that level of blood demon magic is completely different from the style of others.

Adhering to the idea that things will work themselves out, Yuko didn't think too much about it, but... some things still need to be arranged in advance.

The next morning, just as dawn broke, before everyone had even had breakfast and was about to return to their dojos, Yuko called them all back inside.

Inside the room, everyone looked at her, completely bewildered.

Yuko didn't keep them in suspense and said directly, "The Demon Slayer Corps' base has been discovered by Muzan Kibutsuji."

"What? When?"

"What?! You're saying that Muzan Kibutsuji has already found his way here?"

Everyone had different expressions and high spirits; the meeting room instantly erupted in chaos.

"Just last night, while you were feasting."

Sanemi Shinazugawa frowned deeply: "Are you kidding me? Are you saying that none of us noticed?"

"No, no, you want to exclude them, right?" Uzui Tengen waved his hand.

Sanemi Shinazugawa's expression darkened further: "I'm talking about you guys."

Uzui Tengen: "..."

"Is it about to begin?" Shinobu Kocho clenched her fists.

The crowd's emotions varied, but their expressions all became more serious.

“There is still time to prepare,” Yuko explained. “Muzan Kibutsuji’s target is me. As long as she doesn’t discover me, the war won’t begin.”

"We still have some time."

“Those things are extremely adept at concealing their presence; even Pillars would have a hard time detecting them,” Yuko instructed. “If possible, I hope everyone will refrain from deliberately searching for their existence.”

"Just pretend none of this happened."

Uzui Tengen's lips twitched. "No, then don't tell us."

Yu Zi glanced at him sideways: "Because it's a fact that this place has been discovered, even if my whereabouts haven't been locked yet, we can't completely rule out the possibility that the other side will launch an attack."

"I'm giving you a heads-up so you won't be caught off guard."

"Be on high alert during this time, and watch out for the methods used by the Infinite City to recruit people."

Tanjiro frowned: "To defend against that Blood Demon Art, the only way is probably to take turns keeping watch at night, right?"

Moreover, it cannot be one-to-many; the best approach is one-to-one.

Yu Zi nodded slightly: "That's right. My idea is that since the special training has already come this far, the team members' improvement has probably reached a bottleneck. Let's end the training for now and let them train on their own."

Although it was somewhat unpleasant, Ikuko did not intend to tell everyone the details of how the Demon Slayer Corps had been discovered.

Not everyone possesses strong mental fortitude.

As soon as she said this, everyone fell silent, as if they understood the unspoken meaning behind Yu Zi's words.

"I agreed."

Just then, a calm male voice rang out from outside the door.

Just hearing that sound is like a calming force, instantly soothing my emotions.

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed slightly, and they quickly moved closer to the door.

Yuko was sitting by the door, and she turned around and opened the door casually.

"You're here really early! Have you had breakfast?"

"My lord, how could your body be like this..." The crowd looked tense, and before they could finish their words of concern, they caught a glimpse of Kagaya Ubuyashiki's posture through the crack in the open door.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki stood quietly outside the door, supported by his wife, Amane.

The skin, which had already deteriorated severely and been almost completely corroded, now looked exceptionally white, with only faint purple patches visible upon close inspection.

What was most shocking were those eyes; those eyes, which were originally murky and lifeless, were now bright and clear.

Just as everyone was about to bow, they were stunned by what they saw.

As expected of his lord's number one sycophant, Shinazugawa Sanemi asked with a delighted expression, "Lord, have you fully recovered from your illness?"

Kagaya Ubuyashiki did not immediately respond to Sanemi Shinazugawa's words, but looked at everyone with a smile: "It's unbelievable that I can see you all again one day."

He received the message from Yu Ziyu last night, and he got up earlier than anyone else today to come over.

At this moment, everyone finally snapped out of their shock and knelt down on one knee.

"Congratulations on your recovery, my lord."

What is this nonsense……

Why did the phrase "Welcome back to the Dragon King" echo in her mind?

Who is the Dragon King?

Yu Zi was completely baffled.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki's eyes held a nostalgic look, showing no air of superiority.

He looked at Tanjiro in the corner, who hadn't yet knelt down.

“This child must be Tanjiro, right?” Kagaya Ubuyashiki looked at him with admiration. “I’ve finally met him… Tanjiro.”

"Hmm..." Tanjiro nodded subconsciously, and was about to speak when he was pulled down to kneel down by Sanemi Shinazugawa next to him.

Tanjiro broke out in a cold sweat; he had forgotten.

Ikuko: "..."
