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

Muzan's expression changed slightly. He sat up straight in his chair, leaned forward slightly, and became more focused.

One of them asked uncertainly, "Is it at Lord Shinazugawa's residence? Is the young lady you're talking about the one who used to live in the Butterfly Mansion?"

"That's right, she's quite close to Lady Butterfly; the two seem to be inseparable."

"Which Butterfly Lord are you referring to?"

"Lady Kanae is often on missions, while that Miss Ikuko has always lived in the Butterfly Mansion. I'm talking about Lady Shinobu, of course."

"I see. I thought you were talking about Lady Kanao."

"...I say you're being a bit too far-fetched. Lady Kanao is just Lady Kanae's stepson, and her surname is Kurihana, not Butterfly!"

"What?! Kanao, one of the Butterfly Sisters, doesn't have the surname Butterfly? The three of them look so alike, I thought they were sisters."

boom!

A crisp sound.

Muzan crushed the wine glass in his hand, veins bulging on his forehead. He had a strong urge to crush these three idiots into minced meat.

Can you guys get down to business and stop rambling on and on?

Get the conversation back on track!

He wanted to hear about that woman!

Whether it was a subconscious sense of crisis or just a coincidence, the three of them actually brought the topic back.

"Speaking of which, who exactly is this Miss Yuko? I've seen her several times when I went to the Butterfly Mansion."

"She seems to have a very noble status. The pillars are all familiar with her and use respectful terms when addressing her."

The other person gave a disdainful look: "Your information is way outdated."

"That guy from the Butterfly Mansion is an extremely powerful swordsman. Even the Pillars are no match for him. Didn't you see the Nichirin Blade he's wearing at his waist?"

The man didn't believe it: "Are you kidding me? How could you possibly be more powerful than Zhu?"

"I'm not kidding. When I came back from a mission, I went to the Butterfly Mansion to get some liniment and saw Mr. Kyojuro covered in bruises."

The veins on Muzan's forehead gradually became more prominent, making him look increasingly ferocious.

"Nakime, give it to me..."

"Hmph~ I say your information is too outdated." The last person snorted twice, his tone very disdainful.

Muzan: "..."

Very well, I'll give you one last chance.

Don't make me lose control and kill you all if I expose myself.

The other two teased, "Oh? What brilliant idea do you have?"

"Hum..."

Muzan: "Three..."

"There's a lot to say about this."

"two……"

"According to reliable sources, listen carefully, this is not fake news."

Muzan's face darkened: "Nakome."

Nakime looked up at her boss, about to speak...

When the two of them couldn't help but feel their appetites whetted, they moved closer.

The man finally stopped being mysterious and slowly said, "That lady, she was actually a ghost~"

Muzan: "It's alright for now."

Nakime lowered her head.

The other two were stunned for a moment, then rolled their eyes: "Ghost? Can't you even lie properly?"

"Don't you know that lady's favorite thing to do is sit in the corridor of the Butterfly House and enjoy the view?"

“I have seen her sunbathing.”

"Are you sure you're looking at the scenery? I think you're just spacing out."

"Just tell me if she's been sunbathing or not?"

The three of them chatted idly for a bit, and one of them rolled his eyes and said:

"I thought there was some really exciting news, like that the young lady was actually Miss Ren's lover and the two were in a passionate relationship."

"Do you think my information is more reliable? After all, those two are practically inseparable, even sisters wouldn't be more so, right?"

"Objection! Lady Kanae spends far less time with Lady Shinobu than she does with that lady."

"Nakome!" Muzan's eyes blazed with fury. As expected, humans are such stupid creatures.

Naruto looked up.

Seeing that his two companions didn't believe him, the swordsman who had leaked the information said helplessly, "What I said is all true. Otherwise, why do you think the special training would be carried out so hastily?"

Muzan: "It's alright now."

Nakime lowered her head.

The two swordsmen couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

"I ask you, what does Muzan Kibutsuji most want?"

"Of course, it's about overcoming the sunlight; everyone knows that."

This is hardly a secret within the Demon Slayer Corps.

Muzan's expression wasn't good. Although it was common knowledge, hearing it with his own ears was still very unpleasant, giving him the feeling that his secret had been revealed to others.

"So! Don't you understand? That Miss Yuko is a demon who overcame the sunlight!"

"Are you kidding me? Even the Demon King Muzan Kibutsuji couldn't do it, so how could any other demon possibly do it?"

"Besides, aren't all the other demons under Muzan's control? Even accidentally uttering Muzan's name will result in a curse. This shows how petty Muzan is. How could he possibly tolerate a demon overcoming sunlight before him?"

"Yeah, please write down a draft before you lie."

Muzan crushed the stem of the wine glass that was caught between his fingers, letting out a screech like a groundhog.

"Narume!!!"

Nakime simply lowered her head and remained silent.

"It's true, my friend saw what she looked like after she turned into a demon."

"And it was during the day."

"...The friend you mentioned, is he real, or is he something you made up?"

"If you don't believe me, you can ask the team members who trained at Lord Shinazugawa's mansion before. Many of them saw it."

"The story of how that young lady knocked out Lord Shinazugawa after she turned into a demon."

"What? Pillar was attacked?"

"...No, it seems that Lady Kanae and Lady Shinobu are both present."

"What?! Attacking another Pillar right in front of a Pillar?!"

Enraged, the man slapped the other man on the head: "Are you an idiot! I mean, the pillars already knew that the young lady was a ghost a long time ago."

"oh oh……"

"Now you understand?" The man was quite angry. "The reason why the special training was made so serious is very likely because Muzan discovered that the young lady had overcome the sunlight."

"I see. Given Muzan's desire to overcome sunlight, he really is like a dog seeing shit, unable to move."

Muzan took a deep breath, about to speak up for himself.

"Can't you speak properly? What kind of metaphor is that?!"

Muzan's expression softened considerably.

Very good. Once we break through the Demon Slayer Corps, he'll give this guy a chance to become a demon.

"It's one thing to compare Muzan to a dog, but why do you call Miss Yuko dog shit?"

Muzan's face darkened again.
