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

Arriving at the very center of the village, which is quite large, the open space in the center of the village is nearly a hundred meters wide, with corpses lying haphazardly in the middle.

Several hunched figures appeared in the distance.

Several hideous demons were fighting for territory in the center of the square.

"Hey! You lot! This is my territory, get out of here!" A fierce voice came, but Yu Zi walked over without changing her expression.

"Hehehe, stop joking. Can you really eat all this food by yourself?"

"Don't think you can keep it all to yourself!"

"As long as I eat these humans, I can advance to the Twelve Demon Moons!"

Not far from them, a female ghost was nervously trying to slip away.

Her retreating movement attracted the attention of the group of evil spirits.

"Hey, don't you guys think this woman looks familiar?"

"I feel like I've seen this somewhere before~"

"Isn't this the woman that official has put on the wanted list?"

Zhu Shi's face turned pale. She had come here to collect some corpses to eat after seeing the smoke of battle, but she did not expect that these evil spirits would appear one after another shortly after she arrived.

Muzan forbids demons from gathering in groups, but the delicious food in the war-torn village brings them together.

Since being released by the swordsman of the Breath of the Sun, Tamayo has never eaten a living person again, surviving only on the corpses of humans and animals.

In order to fulfill her promise to the swordsman, she must wait for the opportunity to kill Muzan.

How could you die here!

"These corpses are yours, but that woman is my prey!"

"Bullshit! As long as we capture this woman, that lord will bestow his blood upon us. Compared to that lord's blood, these corpses are nothing but swill!"

"Get out of my way! I will never let you have my prey!"

"The spot for the Twelve Ghost Months is mine!"

Almost as soon as they recognized Tamayo's identity, the group of demons put down the food they had been arguing over and swarmed over with greedy expressions.

Zhu Shi turned pale and quickly turned and ran away.

Her Blood Demon Arts are not suited for combat; she's definitely no match for these guys.

Before Tamayo could run two steps, a dark shadow flashed past her and jumped onto the wall in front of her, its head flipping over as it stared at her with a strange look.

"Don't even think about escaping!"

Tamayo's pupils contracted slightly. Before she could react, a light blue sword aura appeared out of thin air and sliced ​​off the demon's head.

Even after its head fell to the ground and turned to ashes, the grotesque smile on the demon's face did not disappear.

This shows that the sword was so fast that he didn't even have time to react.

Before Tamayo could even process what was happening, a figure emerged from behind the house, wearing a straw hat and with a white cloth wrapped around her neck, obscuring her face.

The only way to determine her identity as a woman is by looking at the human heart on her chest.

The newcomer held a blue Nichirin sword wrapped in white cloth, and had another sword at his waist with its blade still sheathed.

Yoriichi's Nichirin Blade is black, but the color of the Nichirin Blade can change depending on the user's Breathing Style and other factors.

Yuko was born with a near-perfect aptitude for the five breathing techniques, and changing the color of her Nichirin Blade was not difficult as the breathing style changed.

It's the Demon Slayer Corps!

Tamayo felt completely cold, as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

The evil spirits behind her also stopped in their tracks.

"Damn it! The Demon Slayer Corps?!"

"Wait! It seems like she's all alone!"

A demon trembled with fear: "But she just killed that guy with a single strike..."

"They're just trash. Let's all attack together, and then we'll decide how to split the pay, okay?!"

"Perfect timing~ I haven't eaten any Demon Slayer Corps guys yet~"

After a brief discussion, the demons rushed towards Yuko in unison.

Tamayo glanced behind her out of the corner of her eye. The swordsman in front of her did not attack her immediately, probably because she was the weakest in combat.

She subtly stepped aside, intending to find an opportunity to leave once they started fighting.

Although Tamayo agreed to Yoriichi's request to kill Muzan, she wasn't so foolish as to think that just any Demon Slayer Corps member would believe her.

She looked at Yuko and silently apologized to her.

In her view, it was only a matter of time before Yuko was defeated.

After all, it's a one-to-N situation.

"Water Breathing - First Form: Water Surface Slash!"

A clear, cool female voice echoed through the quiet night, and a flash of azure light streaked across the sky.

The blue blade reflected the moonlight, causing Tamayo to squint.

When she opened her eyes again, she only saw Yuko slowly putting away her Nichirin Blade.

Her body stiffened slightly, and her gaze shifted slightly. She saw several heads raised high, and headless corpses, propelled forward a short distance by inertia, before collapsing in unison.

The heads fell to the ground, and the demons turned to ashes and vanished without even making a sound.

So strong!

It's probably even more powerful than the Lower Moon!

Is it a pillar?

Tamayo's pupils trembled violently; with this level of combat power, she had no chance of escaping.

As the woman who had put away her Nichirin Blade walked towards her, Tamayo was about to make a final attempt to explain.

The woman slowly removed her straw hat and untied the white cloth covering her face.

Tamayo's puzzled expression gradually turned into shock.

"...Mr. Yoriichi?"

Apart from gender and height, there are almost no major differences.

However, it only took a moment for Tamayo to realize that it had been decades ago. Even if Yoriichi were still alive, he would be an elderly man in his eighties or nineties. How could he be so young?

But this face is almost exactly the same as Mr. Yoriichi's.

So……

Are they his descendants?

A glint of light flashed in Tamayo's eyes.

Sensing the expectation beneath Tamayo's calm expression, Ikuko paused for a moment before saying, "I am Yoriichi's sister."

She knew what Tamayo was thinking; she was wondering if she also possessed the same powerful abilities as Yoriichi.

The current situation gives Tamayo great hope.

Unfortunately, even now, even with greater power than before, she still hasn't surpassed Yoriichi.

Tamayo was stunned for a moment by Ikuko's words.

She hesitated for a moment before saying, "But you're so old..."

Yu Zi didn't say much, but her wine-red eyes instantly turned into golden vertical pupils.

Tamayo's heart, which had been pounding just moments before, was now beating even harder.

She opened her mouth, then closed her eyes as if resigned to her fate: "Did Muzan send you?"

Yu Ziya was stunned, not expecting to be misunderstood.

"No, I'm just like you, I've also broken free from Muzan's control."

how is this possible.

This was Tamayo's first reaction.

She was lucky to break free from Muzan's control, because Yoriichi had weakened himself after cutting Muzan into pieces.

Is it possible for another Mr. Yoriichi to appear in this world?

Tamayo's eyes held a hint of doubt.

but……

There was no foul odor on the other person, as if... they had never eaten anyone.

Most importantly, if this woman in front of him really was sent by Muzan, then there's no need to waste words with her. With her strength, she has no chance of escaping.
