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

"Cough cough..."

Kanae's cough immediately brought Shinobu Kocho's attention back.

"elder sister!"

With a slight tremor of her eyelashes, Kanae slowly opened her eyes.

"Ren... Am I not dead yet?"

How strange, my breathing has become smoother, and I even have the strength to speak.

She knows her own situation best; forbearance will absolutely not save her.

Kanae knows better than anyone else.

Is it that mysterious person?

Overjoyed, Shinobu hugged her older sister tightly, sobbing, "Yes, sister is still alive..."

"Live well..."

Kanae forced a gentle smile and patted her sister's back lightly with her other hand.

The two sisters hugged for a while, then Kanae gently pushed her younger sister away and asked:

"I think I just heard someone talking."

Shinobu Kocho quickly replied, "It was she who saved my sister."

Kanae gently stroked her neck; there wasn't a single wound.

Even a miracle doctor couldn't have restored her to this state in such a short time.

Everything that just happened felt like an illusion.

Shinobu Kocho noticed her sister's actions and explained, "She smeared her own blood on my sister's wound, and the wound healed immediately."

Kanae looked surprised.

This method...

Shinobu Kocho hesitated before speaking, "Sister, do you think that person just now...could be...a ghost..."

Kanae looked at her sister's complicated expression and gently pointed to the horizon: "But the sun has already risen."

Shinobu Kocho looked in the direction she was pointing.

really……

By the time she arrived, the sun had already risen.

If it were a ghost, it would never appear in the sunlight.

This is common sense.

Even Muzan Kibutsuji, the progenitor of demons, could not move in the sunlight.

But apart from ghosts, she couldn't think of any other way to heal the wound so quickly.

Kanae noticed her sister's confusion and explained with a smile, "This land has never lacked talented people. I once heard a story that actually happened hundreds of years ago."

"It's a story about a certain clinic."

"I heard that the owners of that clinic are two beautiful fairies. They don't charge money for treatment, and those who are cured by the two fairies recover quickly. So the patients spontaneously bring them all kinds of food and daily necessities."

“One day, a herb gatherer fell and injured his arm in the mountains and went to the clinic for treatment. The fairy handed him a plaster and told him to open it in three to five days.”

“But the young man, after returning home, felt no pain in his arm for a short time after applying the plaster, and subconsciously forgot the doctor’s instructions and removed the plaster.”

"As a result, even though the plaster had only been on for a short while, the severe abrasions on my arm had already healed."

"When he later went to thank the two fairies with gifts, he found that the clinic was deserted."

"We asked the locals and learned that the two fairies have not changed their appearance for many years."

Looking at her sister's smile, Shinobu Kocho said helplessly, "What you're saying is just a folk tale, isn't it?"

And this story wasn't told by anyone else, it was told by their parents!

The Butterfly family is a family with a long history in medicine, so they naturally have a lot of exposure to stories in this field. Their parents mentioned it to them more than once when they were young.

As for whether it's true or false... how could it possibly be true!

It's nothing more than parroting what others say.

"It's true." Kanae patted her sister's head with a smile. "And even if she's a ghost, she'll definitely be a good one."

Butterfly paused for a moment, and surprisingly did not refute.

My sister is so gentle, both to humans and to ghosts, and she even believes that humans and ghosts can be friends.

In her sister's belief, the Demon Slayer Corps should not only slay evil spirits, but also free them from their suffering.

Shinobu Kocho has never been a big fan of her sister's overly gentle treatment of demons, but this time... she couldn't argue with it.

The owner of that pair of beautiful eyes must be a good person.

……

As Yuko walked along the road, her thoughts gradually drifted away.

Breath of Snow...

Unexpectedly, one day, her breathing technique became someone else's trump card.

The Eighth Form was developed purely for the purpose of cutting off the heads of demons.

It is also the strongest sword form of Snow Breathing, but unfortunately there was no chance to use this sword form.

She... really shouldn't focus too much attention on the Breath of the Sun.

In recent years, in order to conceal her identity, she has almost never used Snow Breathing, and has always used the Five Great Breathing Techniques to fight her enemies.

There were even far more attempts at the Breath of the Sun than at the Breath of Snow.

Because Sun Breathing is most effective against demons and Muzan, Yuuko forced herself to deeply understand Sun Breathing, which she was not good at.

But the strongest is not necessarily the most suitable for you; the most suitable for you is the strongest.

She should refocus her attention on Snow Breathing.

The current Snow Breathing technique is not enough...

Not strong enough.

She can become even stronger.

……

In the past two years, a wealthy woman bought a mansion in the small town at the foot of the mountain where Tanjiro's family lived.

The town was small back then, you could see the whole thing at a glance, and the residents were basically neighbors, so there was no such thing as not knowing each other.

But this woman lived a secluded life, and almost no one had ever seen her. Even when people visited her, they rarely received a response.

The claim that the buyer is a woman, or perhaps it was information unintentionally revealed by the homeowner.

Luxury homes are usually run by wealthy people who lack servants to manage them, so there are quite a few people applying for jobs, but they can't even get through the door, let alone meet the person.

So much so that everyone thinks that he just has too much money and bought a house to leave here.

Later, a thief learned of this and sneaked into the house to steal in the middle of the night. In the middle of the night, ghosts howled and ran out of the door, shouting that there were ghosts.

The town's police were alerted, and the onlookers finally got a glimpse of the woman's face.

Describing it as appearance is not accurate.

Only half of the face.

He was completely covered from head to toe.

However, one can still see the woman's beautiful face, and her long, wine-red hair amazed countless viewers at the time.

As a result, many men are dragged away by their own wives afterward.

Soon after, rumors spread in the town that the woman had developed an allergic reaction to air and that she would die if she were exposed to the sun.

But after a while, the house still didn't react, and the crowd gradually quieted down.

……

As another harsh winter arrives.

A boy with short, fiery red hair and sun-shaped earrings on his earlobes appeared in town carrying a basket.

"Oh, isn't this Tanjiro?"
