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

Tamayo rubbed her temples and suggested, "Could it be with Shinobu-san?"

"Oh right! It's with Shinobu." Yuko suddenly realized.

At that time, Nezuko needed to be injected with the medicine to turn her into a human, so the medicine box was handed over to Shinobu Kocho.

She remembered; she didn't have Alzheimer's.

Tamayo gently touched her forehead, and something inexplicably came to mind.

How did this child survive the two hundred years since she left her?

Could they be living a life of hardship and homelessness, sleeping in the open?

The so-called suppression of desires by not eating or drinking is actually because one cannot earn money.

When he thought about how Yuko was born into a samurai family and had been pampered since childhood, it seemed normal that she couldn't do anything. She was clumsy when she lived with him before.

Zhu Shi couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.

Yuko was unaware that she had already walked a heartbreaking path in Tamayo's heart.

“I’ll go back to the Butterfly House to get it later,” Yuko said.

Shinobu is still undergoing special training with others, and she didn't take the medicine box from the Butterfly Mansion before, so it should still be in her room.

Go get it in a bit?

So eager? She only mentioned it once.

Is it...

Tamayo frowned and asked, "Has Muzan already begun his operation?"

"Yes, it should happen tonight, barring any unforeseen circumstances."

"Tonight?" Tamayo's eyes widened. "Why are you only informing me now?"

Yuko: "...I only found out last night. She has already found this place with the help of other ghosts."

Yabai, it seems she didn't even tell Tamayo about the eyeball monster.

She thought that the delivery room would notify her at some point.

Tamayo didn't delve into the details, but simply frowned: "Tonight...?"

She turned to look at Yushiro and said solemnly, "Yushiro, we'll have to rely on you tonight."

Yushiro nodded solemnly: "I understand."

Yushiro's Blood Demon Art has a strong ability to conceal itself. If one does not have an outstanding talent in perception, even Muzan would have a hard time detecting him.

Blood Demon Art is such an unreasonable power that even the Demon King Kibutsuji Muzan, who is the source of it, cannot interfere with it.

After telling Tamayo what had happened, Ikuko pointed curiously at the potion on the table: "So, what is this potion on your table?"

"Ubuyashiki's blood?"

Tamayo shook her head: "No abnormal factors could be found in his blood. It was just ordinary blood. I was just doing it casually that day."

Yuko nodded.

Got it, it's a professional habit.

Yushiro couldn't help but ask, "And what is this?"

It seems I didn't notice when Lady Tamayo started messing around with this.

Tamayo calmly picked up the medicine, as if looking at something through the liquid.

Tamayo calmly said, "The human-transforming medicine is something I prepared for myself."

The two were stunned for a moment.

Yushiro panicked: "Lord Tamayo?"

what about me?

You've turned back into a human, but what about me?

In his haste, he even forgot the form of address he had secretly decided to change.

“Of course, Yushiro… you can decide for yourself.” Tamayo said, taking another one out of a box on the side.

"If...we can still live..."

The box was filled with a huge pile of stuff, and Yu Zi's lips twitched as she looked at it: "Just how many did you make?"

Tamayo explained with a smile, "Because there was still a lot of Ikuko's blood left, we made more."

Ikuko turned pale.

I should have known better and wouldn’t have asked.

Yushiro firmly picked up the vial: "Lady Tamayo's decision is my decision."

"Whether I am a human or a demon, my feelings for Lady Tamayo will never change."

Yushiro, who was simply revealing his true feelings, was completely unaware of what he had said.

What a mess of changing titles! It's still easier to pronounce "Tamayo-sama" as it is.

Tamayo's eyes widened slightly, as if she were lost in thought.

Yuko couldn't help but gasp. "Yushiro, what did you just say?"

After a moment of silence, Tamayo nodded with a complicated expression: "Mm."

She knew, of course, what Yushiro was feeling.

She had already decided to reciprocate the feelings.

Just like Yuko said.

She didn't think Yuko's statement that she didn't owe anyone anything was true; she just felt that she shouldn't be stuck in the past.

If you decide to respond to this emotion, then you must live on as a human being, not as a ghost.

When Yuko heard Tamayo say that it was a human-transforming medicine prepared for her, she understood what Tamayo meant.

Like Tamayo, she also had the idea of ​​turning back into a human after the final battle using a human-turning drug, even if doing so might leave her with less than a year to live.

Even after breaking free from the shackles of Muzan's cells, the marks could not be reversed.

Her desire to turn back into a human was not because she was particularly averse to ghosts.

Her modern mindset is actually quite good; whether one is a human or a ghost, as long as it's good, it doesn't matter.

Like her, as long as it doesn't involve eating people, becoming a ghost isn't a big deal.

At worst, I can just stay home and lie around during the day and go out to play at night.

Before she transmigrated, her biological clock seemed to be like this.

I don't remember very clearly.

It was because of Shinobu Kocho. If Shinobu could become a demon like her and survive by borrowing only a little blood, she would be even happier.

Because that way they would have more time.

However, since his entire family died because of the ghost, he harbors an irreconcilable hatred for it.

As a Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps, turning her into someone you once hated most is simply too much.

Even if Shinobu Kocho were to become love-struck and decide to become a demon to be with her, Ikuko would never do it.

At this moment, Yushiro finally realized that there was something wrong with what he had just said.

His face flushed red, and he stammered involuntarily.

The atmosphere became awkward. Yuko didn't want to stay and be a third wheel, so she simply delivered the message and left.

After leaving Tamayo's house, Ikuko went straight to the Butterfly Mansion.

"Miss Yuko? You're back." Kanzaki Aoi, who was airing out her blankets, heard the voice coming from the corridor behind her and turned around.

"Aoi," Yuko greeted her, "Do you remember where you put the first-aid kit that Shinobu brought back before?"

"A medicine box?" Miss Shinobu's medicine box?

No, I mean the one I brought back that day.

Kanzaki Aoi recalled the situation: "It must have been in Shinobu's room."

"I understand." Yu Zi guessed that it was true; such a valuable item couldn't possibly be left lying around.

Yuko went to Shinobu's room with ease, knowing the way well.

Shinobu's room was right next to hers.

Yu Zi pushed open the door and went in. The goldfish in the fish tank splashed water when they heard the noise.

Shinobu Kocho doesn't like animals with fur; what she likes is this goldfish, the kind that's white and plump and looks a bit like a pufferfish.

So, this goldfish is called—

"Pufferfish, long time no see."

Yuko greeted them and then looked around the room.
