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

Zhu Mizi paused for a moment, then covered her mouth: "Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot about Miss Yuzi..."

Yu Zi breathed a sigh of relief and didn't explain further.

He simply said, "Just pretend you didn't hear this. Do whatever you want. If you happen to see it and want to eat it as a wild vegetable, then go ahead and pick it."

"I was able to break free from Muzan's control without losing my humanity, perhaps because of it."

She was so certain because this was Tanjiro's ancestral home.

Otherwise, there's no way to explain why she could break free from control just like Nezuko.

Zhu Mizi thought for a moment, then clenched her fist and slammed it into her palm: "Yes! I think I did collect some back then."

Even when pregnant, peasant women in ancient times would often go to the fields to do simple farm work, let alone pick wild vegetables.

At this moment, Tanji said somewhat uneasily, "But the flower is still here. What if the Demon King discovers it..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yu Zi shook her head and interrupted, "Regarding this, you should have seen what this flower looked like when it was in full bloom, right, brother?"

She looked at Yoriichi as she spoke.

Yoriichi pondered for a moment: "It bloomed suddenly, when there wasn't even a bud before."

Yu Zi nodded slightly: "Yes, that's what I thought when I first saw it too."

"And I didn't pick it at the time; it bloomed for about a few minutes before suddenly withering away."

Everyone was somewhat surprised: "A few minutes?"

"Therefore, Muzan definitely cannot find out."

To be honest, Muzan's intelligence as a boss is questionable.

He could easily use the promise of immortality to lure a bunch of powerful figures into helping him find it.

These important figures could easily send out hundreds or even thousands of people to search for them.

But I never trust others and prefer to find things for myself.

Yuko: "So I think that flower should only bloom during the day in summer."

"If that's the case, then the Ghost King really can't be found."

Yoriichi turned his head and asked, "Do you need it transplanted to your home? So it will be easier for you to eat it."

Yu Zi paused for a moment, then waved her hand: "Let's not. What if such an important flower dies after being transplanted?"

Yoriichi nodded slightly.

The two stayed at Tanji's house for a while, but only managed to pick a few more flowers, which all ended up in Ikuko's stomach.

It was still useless.

The flower seemed to have more demanding growing conditions than they had imagined; it wouldn't bloom every day, even in summer.

……

Summer has ended, and we've said goodbye to Tanji's family. The next time we meet will probably be next year when the spider lilies bloom.

In the days that followed, Yuko continued to practice swordsmanship under Yoriichi's tutelage.

She gradually realized that the difference between her and Yoriichi was not the difference in the type of sword they used.

In terms of swordsmanship and martial arts skills, she is definitely inferior to Yoriichi.

Even among sword masters who have achieved the highest level of martial arts, there can be unimaginable differences between the strong and the weak.

As the saying goes, if you don't cultivate yourself, you'll see me like a frog at the bottom of a well looking at the bright moon; if you do cultivate yourself, you'll see me like a mayfly looking at the blue sky.

Yoriichi's talent and strength are unmatched.

However, if we're talking about the power of sword techniques alone, with the added power of Blood Demon Art, Yoriichi, as a human, simply couldn't compare.

Therefore, the problem lies in speed and reaction.

Even the Ghost King couldn't react to her speed; she's still far behind.

Yuko began to focus on training her dynamic vision and speed.

When you get busy, you realize that time really flies.

During the day, she meditates at home.

At night, she would meditate in the mountains.

Every summer, she and Yoriichi would visit Tanjiro's family.

Each time she went, she could harvest several blue spider lilies. Despite having consumed many, she still felt no sense of overcoming the sun.

Every time she tried, she would get sunburned; the worst time was when her entire body was exposed to the sun.

Her entire body was covered in horrific burns; if Yoriichi hadn't acted quickly enough, she would have been melted away.

Yuko began to wonder if this should be taken in combination with other medications.

A figure gradually emerged in her mind.

Zhu Shi.

But she had absolutely no idea where to look for Tamayo.

Moreover, how is she supposed to survive if she leaves home, being a good-for-nothing who only knows how to sponge off her parents?

You can't just sneak into someone's house in the middle of the night and bleed them out, can you?

As a result, things were delayed.

……

It's summer again.

That year, Yuko was thirty years old, and Yoriichi was thirty-one.

"Yuko-neechan, let's come out and play~"

Zhu Mili, who had grown into a little girl, affectionately kissed Yu Zi on the cheek and pulled her clothes away.

Zhu Mizi was cleaning wild vegetables in the house when she scolded, "No, you can't. Sister Yuzi is sick and can't be in the sun."

Yu Zi smiled and patted her head: "Go play with your younger brother."

Children don't have that many complicated emotions; they just said "oh" and skipped away.

Yuko gently withdrew her gaze.

"Dad~" Zhu Mili exclaimed in surprise as she jumped out of the door.

"I'm back." Tanji walked out of the forest carrying a basket on his back.

After dealing with his daughter, Tanji went inside.

He took out two spider lilies from his basket and said, "Miss Yuko, I found two."

Zhu Mili watched curiously. She had heard that her father had gone out to find medicine to cure her sister Yu Zi's illness.

Yu Zi nodded slightly and looked at Zhu Mili.

Zhu Mizi immediately understood and said to her daughter, "Xiaoli, go and call your younger brother over to help Mom wash up, okay?"

"Good~"

Zhu Mizi led the child into the inner room.

Yuko then swallowed the spider lily.

Tanji skillfully found several ropes inside the house, wrapped them around Ikuko several times, and tied them to her body.

Yu Zi smiled and said, "Then I'll leave it to you."

Tanji nodded solemnly: "Yes, Miss Yuko, don't worry, I will bring you back immediately if things go wrong."

Yu Zi nodded slightly, got up and walked out of the house.

The moment her feet stepped into the sunlight, her body was quickly scorched.

Sure enough, it still doesn’t work?

Yuko gritted her teeth. After becoming a demon, wounds from ordinary weapons were almost painless to her, but the sun was different. Facing the sun directly, the scorching heat was no different from being burned to death on fire.

The pain was unbearable.

Tanji watched intently, and seeing that Yuko's burns were getting worse, he quickly pulled on the rope.

The taut rope suddenly snapped, having been burned through, and Tanji almost fell backward.

"Miss Yuko!" he cried out in alarm, quickly regaining his balance and reaching out to pull Yuko away.

Fortunately, Yuko was just outside the shadows not far away.

it hurts!

As soon as he touched Yuko's clothes, Tanji instinctively pulled his hand back.

"dad."

From the inner room, Zhu Mili ran out after hearing Tanji's shouts.

"Don't come out! Go back!" Tanji shouted, turning around.

Zhu Mili stood there, frozen in place.

not good……

Just as Tanji was feeling alarmed, a hand suddenly and gently landed on his shoulder.

"Don't worry."
