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

"Do you want to live?"

"Even if you are no longer human, you will eventually pass away if you continue like this."

"However, life without humans would be very difficult and painful."

……

Tamayo saw Yushiro's desire to live, which is why she said that.

'How wonderful it would be to spend the rest of my life with this woman.'

Yushiro had this idea in his mind, so he agreed without hesitation.

Tamayo helped him change his handkerchief and said, "Then please wait another day. I will come again tomorrow night."

Turning a person into a ghost is not so easy.

In essence, apart from Muzan, no demon can increase its own kind and turn humans into demons.

It's not that they don't want to, nor that Muzan won't agree, but that they can't.

Kokushibo was able to turn Ikuko into a demon by injecting Muzan's blood from his own body into Ikuko's body.

Otherwise, Ikuko should have considered whether she could persuade Yoriichi to become a demon as well.

That way, the scumbag boss won't be able to play anymore.

……

On the way back, Yuko sighed, "If I had met Tamayo first, I would definitely have agreed without hesitation."

The reason she refused Kokushibo was not because she was afraid of becoming a demon, but because she was afraid that Muzan would find out her thoughts and memories.

Tamayo was somewhat surprised: "I thought Ikuko would be the type who hates evil like poison."

Yuko shrugged: "But is it necessary to make things difficult for yourself? I was only in my early twenties back then, just a few years older than Yushiro. Wasn't that an untimely death?"

Tamayo was silent for a moment, then said, "That child... is already thirty-five years old."

"Thirty-five years old, that's really a long time..." Yu Zi's voice paused, then she exclaimed in shock, "Thirty-five years old?!"

"You mean that kid's age?!"

Tamayo smiled helplessly.

As a doctor, it's normal to know how old your patients are.

Yuko was completely numb.

Are you going to tell her now that that cute little boy... is actually thirty-five years old?

Who could tell that?!

Tamayo smiled and continued the previous topic: "Turning a person into a demon still requires certain experiments. Even if you had met me back then, it wouldn't have mattered."

"Are you sure?"

"Have."

……

The next evening.

Yuko packed her bags and prepared to leave, while Tamayo also went out carrying her medicine box.

Zhu Shidao said, "Then let's part ways here."

Yuko looked at the stars shining in the night sky, took a deep breath, and said, "Thank you for taking care of me all these years."

The two addressed each other as equals, but in reality, Tamayo was several hundred years older than her.

Over the years, Tamayo has basically taken care of her like a younger sister.

Tamayo paused for a moment, then a beautiful smile curved her lips.

"It's me. Without Yuko, I'd probably still be confused right now."

As their separation drew near, Yuko felt a pang of sadness.

"I don't know when we'll see each other again after this separation."

Given their respective identities, they were destined not to live in the same place for long.

Separation means losing contact.

Tamayo smiled and comforted him, "As long as we continue to fight for our shared ideal of defeating Muzan, we will meet again someday."

She understood Yuko's reluctance to part, because she felt the same way herself.

At this point, Tamayo's expression became more solemn: "I wish you... great success in your military endeavors."

Yu Zi smiled and said, "Then I'll take your kind words."

Let's meet again in the Taisho era.

Yuko adjusted her straw hat, turned and left.

Tama watched her slender figure disappear into the distance, then slowly withdrew her gaze.

Mr. Yoriichi, it was thanks to your sister that I was able to wake up from my confusion and see hope.

Even after she agreed to help future generations defeat Muzan, Tamayo remained confused about it.

In her view, Yoriichi was like a divine messenger sent by heaven to kill Muzan. If even Yoriichi failed, then it was even more impossible for later generations to do so.

Meeting Yuko helped her regain her confidence.

Ikuko may not be as strong as Yoriichi, but her strong heart gave Tamayo courage and trust.

They will eventually destroy Muzan, and Tamayo now firmly believes this.

……

Perhaps because of what happened yesterday, there are no homeless people to be seen on the streets of the slums, and the Demon Slayer Corps swordsman has also disappeared, most likely having left.

Yuko arrived at the family's door and gently knocked.

"Who?"

A deep, weathered male voice came from inside the room.

The man who opened the door was the same short-tempered man I had met yesterday.

But the man now has a full head of white hair, and his face looks much older than he was.

His hair turned white overnight.

“It’s you…” The man paused for a moment, hesitated, and stepped aside. “Come in.”

"Excuse me." Yu Zi nodded slightly and went into the house.

The house was small, with the kitchen and sleeping area all crammed together.

The woman was boiling water and cooking food. With her keen sense of smell, Yuko detected the faint aroma of wild vegetables.

Noticing Yuko, the woman paused in her cooking.

She scooped the food out and placed it on the table.

Would you like to dine with us?

Yu Zi looked at her face, which had aged considerably, and shook her head.

It's clear that the couple's relationship has improved a lot, and Kyoko's efforts have paid off, but the pain of losing a daughter is not so easy to heal.

The man was silent for a moment: "You want to inquire about the Blissful Sect, right?"

He's not stupid.

Yuko asked directly, "Well, I'd like to know, where is the headquarters of that place?"

"Or rather, where is Douma?"

……

The man suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to the ground.

The woman also knelt down.

"you……"

“Kyoko died because of me, her father, I know that very well.” The man’s voice was choked with sobs.

"But I thought... I thought she could live a life of comfort and security in that place, so I sent her there..."

The man's hands gripped the ground, his fingers drawing blood.

"Please... behead the demon who killed Kyoko!"

"Anything I have, I can give you!"

The woman knelt silently to one side, but her attitude spoke volumes.

Yu Zi's expression flickered slightly. After a moment of silence, she exhaled a long breath and said softly, "I'm sorry..."

I may not be able to respond to this request at the moment.

The man's trembling body stiffened with grief.

"But I assure you, one day I will personally cut off his head and send him to hell."

"...Thank you." The man's body curled up slightly.

Demon Slayer is a shonen manga, but at the same time, it is also a subpar shonen manga.

The story, which ends with a plot-driven death, forces Yuko to be wary of any possible changes.

Doma... cannot die yet.
