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

Chapter 358 You're the girl Yuko likes?

This monster's power is equal to that of Miss Yuko.

It is an enemy that absolutely cannot be defeated by one person alone.

The opponent's mastery of the transparent domain was an unimaginable counter to these swordsmen who only knew how to slash with their swords.

Yuko once used this ability to easily overcome their siege.

Unless there is an absolute numerical advantage that can fill the gaps in the opponent's attacks and give them no chance to retaliate, the weaknesses in the attack will soon be exposed.

Tanjiro understood what Muichiro meant and was about to nod when his eyes, which were fixed on Kokushibo, suddenly narrowed and he shouted.

"careful!"

The muscles in the body have changed!

...An attack is coming!

Almost the instant Tanjiro spoke, Kokushibo disappeared from everyone's sight.

"A useless move."

A cold voice rang out from behind the three of them.

too fast!

Muichiro was the first to react. Instead of exploring further, he tried to dodge to the side.

Tanjiro and Inosuke, however, both turned around with tense expressions, their Nichirin Blades already raised to their chests.

Tanjiro was thinking of taking the hit, while Inosuke was thinking of turning around and slashing someone.

"Not good." Noticing the other two's movements out of the corner of his eye, Muichiro's pupils contracted slightly.

Without hesitation, he instinctively stopped in his tracks and turned around with the two of them.

Muichiro's eyes trembled slightly.

it's wired……

Why did he have to make the same mistake as these two?

At this point, spreading out the formation would have been the best option.

This subconscious disagreement was enough to put them in danger.

Despite being in danger, a figure resembling himself inexplicably flashed through Muichiro's mind.

The figure seemed to be speaking to him, but he couldn't hear it or see its lips clearly.

"Breathing of the Moon..."

The train of thought abruptly broke, and before him appeared Kokushibo's unyielding and powerful body, raising the enormous demon blade like a god of war.

An indescribable sense of oppression instantly surged, and everyone's bodies seemed to tremble slightly.

That is... fear!

Why do I still feel this way when we've already fought this far?

Before the three could figure it out, the ghostly blade hanging high above them fell down.

dead!

At this moment, it was as if even the courage to resist had been lost.

And what's with all this talk about creating opportunities...

He can't do anything at all.

Tanjiro gritted his teeth, his eyes fixed on the scene.

too strong.

They're not even in the same league.

Muichiro was lost in thought again.

It is said that when a person dies, their past memories flash by like a revolving lantern, quickly passing through their entire life.

If he is to die, could you help him recall his past memories?

He could never clearly see the figure in his memory.

"Damn it!!!" Inosuke cried out weakly, his muscles trembling as he struggled, but it was all in vain.

It seems to truly correspond to what Kokushibo called a 'useless act'.

Just as Kokushibo's longsword was about to fall, a glimpse of snow suddenly appeared in the corner of his eye. At first, it was just a dot, but it quickly grew larger and closer.

what?

That is……!

Kokushibo's pupils contracted sharply, and he forcibly stopped his slash and turned to strike back.

"Snow Breathing - Seventh Form - Snow - A Line of Sky!"

A familiar sword shape, but an unfamiliar voice.

Ding! !

With a crisp sound, the tip of the Nichirin Blade struck the demon blade covered in eyes, and a crack appeared.

The force was much weaker than he had imagined.

There was no need to investigate further; the force of the contact had already eased Kokushibo's tense heart.

Before my eyes was a beautiful yet unfamiliar face.

When her attack failed, Kanae flew backward like a butterfly, landing gracefully in front of Tanjiro and the other two.

Kanao and Shinobu Kocho, carrying the girl, followed closely behind and arrived at the group's side.

"Miss Shinobu! Miss Kanae! Kanae!"

At this moment, as Kokushibo's aura dissipated, Tanjiro, who had recovered, excitedly greeted them.

"Phew, thank you for your hard work." Looking at Kokushibo's tall figure, Kocho Shinobu took a moment to catch her breath and smiled.

"This person...?" Tanjiro looked at the girl in white with surprise.

In his perception, this seemed to be... an ordinary person?

In this endless city teeming with demons?

"We'll talk about it later. You find somewhere to hide first," Shinobu Kocho said to Tanjiro, then turned to the girl.

"Mm." The girl looked at their formation with a nervous expression, nodded, and quickly ran to a corner.

There was no other way; this was the ghosts' lair. If I didn't keep this girl with me, she would die even faster.

"Six swordsmen who have awakened their markings?" Kokushibo calmly commented. "This power is in no way inferior to the Pillars of the Sengoku period."

Even among the swordsmen who received Yoriichi's instruction, most only managed to awaken their Demon Slayer Marks.

In a way, Yuuko has already accomplished what Yoriichi did.

“And… that breathing technique…” Kokushibo’s eyes moved to Kanae, who was looking at him warily. He was silent for a moment, then said inexplicably, “I see. You’re the person Yuuko was talking about.”

?

Although she didn't quite understand what it meant, she figured it meant that she had inherited Ms. Yuko's breathing technique, so Kanae nodded calmly.

But what Kokushibo said next left her completely dumbfounded.

"The girl Yuko likes."

……

Everyone: "...Huh?"

The tense atmosphere from just moments ago immediately turned strange.

Everyone stared wide-eyed, as if they couldn't believe their ears. What had they heard from this monster?

What does it mean?

Is that what they mean?

“I see…” Kokushibo placed one hand on his chin, looking quite serious, like a brother-in-law commenting on his brother-in-law, “In terms of posture and appearance, he is indeed a rare beauty.”

Although gender was a bit beyond his understanding, his sister had good taste.

It's not some weird or deformed thing.

Kanae was still in a daze, but Shinobu Kocho's forehead twitched, and she looked at him with a gloomy expression.

"Hey, you bastard over there."

The sudden barrage of insults made Kokushibo turn his gaze towards them.

She was the woman who had saved Yuko from him before.

The swastika mark on Shinobu's forehead hadn't faded, and a deathly smile curled at the corner of her mouth: "Are the eyes on your head just decorations?"

Kokushibo: "..."

At first, when this girl appeared in that scene, he did indeed mistakenly believe that she was the girl Yu Zi liked.

But then I thought about it, and realized he was too short and weak.

Looking at it now, his personality was also terrible.

No matter how you look at it, this woman doesn't mean 'she's the one Yuko likes,' right?
