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

Her older sister didn't say those words, but the same voice echoed in Shinobu's heart as she watched her sister's vision gradually blur with tears.

"I hope you can be as happy as a normal girl, I hope you live to old age, that's... enough..." Kanae's breathing became increasingly difficult, and her words became intermittent.

The fingertips trembled slightly as they stroked her sister's cheek. Her face gradually became blurry, and her body felt an unprecedented chill.

She is going to die.

Kanae's pupils gradually lost focus.

As a doctor, Shinobu Kocho knew better than anyone what this meant. Tears streamed down her face as she trembled and grasped Kanae's wrist, which was stroking her cheek. Her voice choked with emotion.

"Don't die... Sister, please don't..."

Kanae's eyes, which had been gradually losing focus, suddenly shifted to the front of her.

A blurry figure is approaching.

Who?

The face is no longer recognizable.

The horizon behind the newcomer was ablaze with golden-red dawn clouds.

But the sun has already risen, so it's safe to endure.

With this thought in mind, Kanae closed her eyes peacefully.

The figure squatted down directly on the other side of Kanae.

"You..." Overwhelmed with grief, Shinobu Kocho, who had lost all sense of perception beside her, was momentarily stunned by the sudden intrusion of this stranger.

"There is still hope for her."

Shinobu's eyes narrowed slightly. After a moment of stunned silence, she swallowed her doubts and quickly pressed for an answer.

"What am I going to do?"

While anxiously asking questions, she didn't forget to fulfill her professional duties as a doctor, carefully laying her sister flat.

She wanted to help but didn't know how, so she could only move aside with mixed feelings of joy and worry to make room for Yu Zi so as not to delay the treatment process.

These few words alone were enough to give Shinobu a glimmer of hope.

When you, as a doctor, know that your loved one is beyond saving, someone suddenly tells you that she can still be saved.

Even though this is your area of ​​expertise, and even though your knowledge constantly reminds you that it's impossible, you will definitely give it a try.

Shinobu's eyes were still wet with tears, and she looked at Ikuko with a hopeful gaze.

Yuko didn't say much. She slightly bent her fingers, scratched her palm with her nails, and then reached out to smear the substance on Kanae's neck.

Her fatal wound was the cut on her neck from the iron fan, which caused a lot of bleeding.

In comparison, lung problems come later.

So cold.

This was Kanae's first impression.

Shinobu Kocho, who was panicked by her sister's near death, almost had a mental breakdown when she saw this scene.

Just as she hesitated to ask, she noticed the wound on her sister's neck slowly twitching. The sight was somewhat disgusting, but...

The wound is healing.

Shinobu Kocho's mind went blank for a moment.

Without stopping, after smearing her own blood on Kanae's neck wound, Ikuko quickly fed her the blood into her mouth.

Through the clear field, it was obvious that the girl's alveoli were beginning to die, which was why she was having increasing difficulty breathing and speaking.

Water that you drink usually doesn't enter your lungs, but you can do so through micro-manipulation.

She is a ghost, and her blood can be manipulated.

"Cough cough..."

As blood entered her alveoli, Kanae couldn't help but cough violently.

"elder sister!"

Shinobu Kocho gasped in concern, stopping her attempt to rush forward to help him up.

The fact that her neck had healed was enough to prove it, so she had no reason to stop it.

My lungs... feel so cold...

Her mind was already hazy, and Kanae's body shivered involuntarily.

Yuko controlled her blood flow to repair her damaged lungs, and without looking up, said, "Hold her, it will make her feel better."

Butterfly took a moment to realize that they were talking to her. After saying "oh" twice, she quickly helped her sister up and hugged her.

Their posture was as stiff as a medical novice, performing rescue work under the guidance of a teacher, afraid of making a mistake.

But when she felt her sister's body temperature gradually rising in her arms, Shinobu's tears flowed uncontrollably.

As Kanae's alveoli were repaired little by little, Yuko suddenly remembered something she had heard many years ago.

'I think the reason Yuuko awakened this Blood Demon Art is because she still loves humans, and loves herself as a human.'

This is Yoriichi.

"There has never been such a Blood Demon Art before... It is an ability born entirely for humanity. I think this must be the result of Yuuko's hard struggle against Muzan's will."

This is Tamayo.

As they said, Yuuko's Blood Demon Art is strange.

The ability to quickly heal the body.

Isn't this kind of ability expected of a ghost?

Just like fish are born to swim in water, isn't that a given?

Despite being a ghost, she awakened this blood demon technique.

For a moment, Yuko was slightly lost in thought, while Shinobu Kocho, who was holding her sister tightly, also inadvertently looked at her profile.

Wearing a straw hat and with a white cloth wrapped around his face, his appearance was obscured.

Her long, wine-red hair, with its natural curls, cascaded down her back, and her delicate, snow-white earlobes made her look like a snow mountain sprite.

For some reason, despite having hair that symbolizes flames, Shinobu Kocho immediately thought of heavy snow.

"Alright, now it's your turn to do your task." Yuko suddenly spoke, bringing Shinobu Kocho back to her senses.

She quickly asked, "Um, what should I do?"

Yuko turned her head to look in surprise.

Beneath the straw hat, a pair of peculiar eyes caught Shinobu's eye, causing her to unconsciously pause for a moment.

Yuko replied matter-of-factly, "Aren't you a doctor?"

"Her condition has stabilized."

Shinobu Kocho is a typical example of someone who gets flustered and panics because she cares too much.

As Yuko spoke, she stood up.

With her back to the rising sun, she couldn't help but glance at Kanae a few more times.

This character, who should have died in the main story, has now been brought back to life by her.

Moreover, she also learned her Snow Breathing technique.

Snow Breathing, as an alternative breathing technique, is as difficult to master as Sun Breathing.

Of course, just considering the difficulty of cultivation, it's fair to say that he didn't learn the good things, but mastered all the bad ones.

Before she left the Demon Slayer Corps, she meticulously recorded the eight sword forms of Snow Breathing and left them with the Corps.

However, over the centuries, she has encountered numerous Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen, none of whom used the Snow Breathing technique.

She once thought that no one would inherit her breathing technique, and even wondered if Kokushibo had wiped her out along with the Sun Breathing technique when he was passing it on.

But this girl, who should have died before the main story even began, has somehow learned her breathing technique.

This is what Yuko felt most directly: that her appearance had changed something.

After being reminded by Yuuko, Shinobu Kocho quickly examined her sister and found that, just as Yuuko had said, her condition had stabilized.

Even the fatal wound on his neck has completely healed.

Shinobu Kocho gently wiped away the bloodstains on her sister's neck with her fingertips.

This recovery speed... it's simply insane...

The hem of the person beside her swayed, and Butterfly Shinobu subconsciously glanced to the side. Her purple eyes were tinged with gold, and all that remained before her was the rising sun.

Disappeared……
