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

found it.

The medicine box was placed in the corner. Since it was made from Yuko's blood, there was no need to worry about it spoiling if left at room temperature in hot weather.

Yuko opened the box, checked it, and after confirming there were no problems, she picked up her medicine box and left.

The Butterfly Mansion has been relatively peaceful lately. Apart from swordsmen who are 'accidentally' injured during special training and come over with some minor external injuries, the disappearance of the demons means there's no need to worry about being too busy for the time being.

Yuko had been thinking of greeting Yae when she didn't see her.

On her way back to the Ubuyashiki mansion from the Butterfly Mansion, Ikuko encounters Nezuko, who is also returning to the Butterfly Mansion.

Her special training was over, and so was her job as a cook.

Yeah, he's probably unemployed.

Because Tanjiro had to attend a meeting, he left Nezuko to return to the Butterfly Mansion alone.

Yuko immediately understood.

Upon seeing Yuuko, Nezuko happily ran a few steps: "Yuuko-neechan, what are you doing here?"

"Go back to the Butterfly House to get something." Yuko shook the medicine box in her hand and instructed, "Remember not to wander around tonight."

Muzan is unlikely to choose their side as the battlefield; anyone would choose a place they are familiar with.

Once the battle begins, Muzan will definitely try to pull them into that alternate dimension.

Even if some remaining demons attack the Demon Slayer Corps, the other swordsmen who remain can handle it. She didn't heal Kagaya Ubuyashiki's curse so that he could say cheesy pick-up lines to his wife.

As long as she and the Pillars can stop Muzan and the Twelve Demon Moons, with Ubuyashiki's guidance, ordinary demons still won't amount to much.

Theoretically speaking, the outside is relatively safe, and Nezuko will be fine staying in the Butterfly Mansion.

"Yes." Nezuko nodded seriously, then hesitated before saying, "Ikuko-nee, please be careful in everything."

Yuko smiled and replied, "I understand."

The courtyard was already full of people.

All the pillars, including the Rock Pillar of Sorrowful Island, were present.

No, it's not just the pillars.

And then there's Kanao, Zenitsu, and Inosuke, who have already activated their markings... wait, what about Genya?

Oh, that guy didn't activate his markings.

Those who can appear here are all people who have fought the Twelve Demon Moons head-on.

That is, the one who started the pattern.

Uzui Tengen shook his head smugly, rubbed his forehead with two fingers together, and waved at her: "Yo, you're back."

Yuko: ...You're crazy.

Everyone else greeted her, even Shinazugawa and Obanai Iguro, who had previously disliked her, nodded slightly in response.

It's a mystery what kind of spell Kagaya Ubuyashiki cast on them to make them treat her so well. Just by helping to weaken Ubuyashiki's curse, they managed to completely change their attitude towards her.

Yuko headed straight for the group of girls.

Kanroji Mitsuri couldn't wait to rush towards her.

"Ikuko~"

Yu Zi slapped her across the face and pushed her away expressionlessly.

She hates it when people touch her.

This action made Ihei Xiaoban's eyelids twitch.

Kanroji Mitsuri rubbed her nose resentfully: "How heartless! You wouldn't have refused when Shinobu hugged you like that."

"Huh?" Shinobu Kocho was secretly chuckling when she was suddenly hit. She exclaimed in surprise, her ears turning slightly red.

With his hands clasped in prayer: A strange feeling, like I can smell lilies...

Yu Zi coughed twice and ignored her.

Looking at the crowd standing in the courtyard, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, inside the house, sighed, "Muzan, we'll soon have a result..."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki truly believed that this group of people were the ones who could defeat Muzan.

This group of swordsmen is extremely talented, hardworking, and possesses an unwavering will.

Kibutsuji Muzan, you are the one who created and brewed this mess.

Now they're coming for your revenge.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki led his wife and daughter out of the room.

"good afternoon everyone."

The gentle voice seemed to soothe restless hearts, and the slightly noisy sounds in the courtyard immediately calmed down.

However, in Yu Zi's view, this was more like a homeroom teacher inspecting his class.

"My lord!"

Everyone knelt down on one knee, except for Yu Zi, who was unrelated.

Before Tanjiro could react, Shinazugawa, who was standing next to him, pressed him down.

Ikuko: "..."

Sometimes this situation really made her feel uncomfortable, and made her feel out of place in this world and this era.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki smiled and said, "This may be the last Pillar Meeting."

The joint meeting, which used to be held once every six months, has been held countless times this year.

This foreshadows the end of their battle with Muzan.

"Tonight may be the night of the decisive battle."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions became more serious.

Apart from Mitsuri Kanroji, everyone standing here has a deep-seated hatred for Muzan, and all of them have lost loved ones because of Muzan.

Countless swordsmen in the Demon Slayer Corps have died with regrets throughout the ages. Now, this opportunity is in their hands, and they must carefully consider whether this is their only chance in this lifetime.

Kill Muzan...

This unwavering belief surged forth in their hearts, and the atmosphere among them became heavy.

Sensing the change in the crowd's aura, Kagaya Ubuyashiki's smile widened.

“I know you are eager to fight Muzan, but… the choice of who will lead the charge tonight still has to go to Ms. Yuko.”

"Muzan has already overcome the weakness of his neck. To kill him, we must rely on the power of sunlight to drag him until dawn."

"As for Muzan Kibutsuji's ability to split, we need to take countermeasures in advance. There is no one else but Ms. Yuko who can do this."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki originally intended to use his own life to buy time for everyone.

He buried gunpowder and cross-shaped nails made from the raw materials of the Nichirin Blade under the house, which could effectively suppress regeneration and enhance power, waiting for Muzan to arrive so he could blow him into the sky.

Even Muzan couldn't recover instantly from such a powerful explosion. Using this time to inject the drug that would restrain Muzan was the best opportunity.

Using the life of a useless person like him to exchange for an opportunity is the best deal imaginable.

However, Yuko scolded him.

Shinazugawa Sanemi opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word.

This person must have the ability to restrain Muzan. In Yuko's judgment, they haven't even been able to activate their Transparent Domain. If they were to fight Muzan at his peak, they might be instantly killed.

Although Shinazugawa Sanemi had conflicts with Ikuko, this woman's words were trustworthy.
