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

"Please let me go with you!" Snot dripped from under his mask as he clung to Tanjiro's leg, refusing to let go.

As for why he didn't hug Yuko's legs, it's because he got beaten up again when he pounced on her earlier.

Tanjiro was sweating profusely with anxiety. "Mr. Haganezuka, please let go."

"No!" Steel Tomb's voice was shrill. "You want me to leave that sword? What are you saying I..."

He was speaking when Urokodaki Sakonji chopped him in the back of the neck with a chop.

The steel mound collapsed in response.

The world is quiet.

Urokodaki Sakonji said in a calm voice, "You can go without worry."

"Thank you so much, Urokodaki-sensei." Tanjiro wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Urokodaki Sakonji nodded slightly, grabbed Haganezuka's ankle, and dragged him back.

Tanjiro broke out in a cold sweat and said to Ikuko beside him, "Mr. Haganezuka's passion for swords is terrifying."

"Ah."

With a reply, Yuko handed the box she was carrying to Tanjiro.

It was made of special wood and was used to hold Nezuko.

The shrunken Nezuko is exceptionally cute, especially her silly and dazed look, which makes Yuko unable to help but exclaim in her heart.

My girlish heart is awakened!

On the way, Tanjiro asked with a worried look, "Is it really okay for Miss Yuuko to come with me?"

I have a feeling that he's wasting Ms. Yuko's time.

Yuko shook her head: "No problem."

It wasn't just because she was worried about Tanjiro; in fact, Tanjiro has now mastered the Sun Breathing technique and is definitely much stronger than in the original story. The main reason she wanted to follow Tanjiro was...

If she doesn't follow Tanjiro, she'll never find Tamayo!

Before coming to Mount Sagiri, she spent a few days in Asakusa, wandering around day and night, but she didn't see a single ghost, let alone Tamayo Muzan.

Tamayo and Yushiro's Blood Demon Arts are both extremely deceptive, and she can't easily detect them using her senses.

Blood Demon Art is irrational; even Muzan Kibutsuji, the progenitor of demons, was not immune to it.

This is also why Muzan is unwilling to increase his companions and does not want to see demons in large groups; he fears that those demons will unite and rebel against him.

Despite Ikuko saying it was nothing, Tanjiro felt it was necessary to let Ikuko see his growth.

Upon arriving at the town haunted by demons, Tanjiro successfully obtained information from a man who had lost his fiancée, and with his excellent sense of smell, he successfully found the demon's trail.

"The smell is getting stronger, a ghost has appeared!"

"Over there, Miss Yuko!"

As Tanjiro spoke, he jumped onto the roof and ran off into the distance.

It's a very sensitive nose; it didn't notice it much later than her.

Yuko's eyes flickered as she turned to look at the man who was stunned by Tanjiro's fluid movements.

"You should come along too."

Although Yuko doesn't believe his fiancée is still alive.

She didn't remember much of this part of the plot; her notebook only contained records of the demon's abilities.

It is a swamp demon that can split itself into multiple parts.

When Yuko and her men found Tanjiro, he had already rescued a girl and was warily watching the demon before him.

Tanjiro demanded, "Where are the kidnapped women?!"

The evil spirit gritted its teeth in anger, making a sharp, piercing sound.

Hearing the commotion behind him, Tanjiro said without turning around, "Miss Yuuko, could you please keep an eye on her?"

He carried the box on his back and took the initiative to attack the evil spirit with a knife.

"Breath of the Sun, First Form, Waltz!"

A circular, orange-red flame slash sliced ​​off the demon's head.

'He got chopped down! That brat!'

Only when its head was tossed high into the air did the evil spirit with three horns on its forehead reveal a look of utter terror.

He didn't see anything clearly.

If he hadn't split himself in two beforehand, he would have already met his end.

'No, this kid is too strong.'

At this rate, he definitely won't be able to escape.

In a panic, the demon tossed its spinning head through the air and saw the group of people not far from Tanjiro.

Just an ordinary person!

Tanjiro, having regained his footing, smelled a strange odor.

He turned around and shouted, "Watch out! On the ground..."

A shadow appeared on the ground, and Yuko looked down.

Two ghostly figures suddenly sprang from the shadows, attacking the group from the left and right.

"Ah!" the man cried out in alarm.

'Take them hostage and escape!'

The demon had no intention of fighting Tanjiro at this moment. In the instant the battle began, he realized that he was no match for that brat.

Before the demon could react, Yu Zi had already grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up in a flash.

What about the other clone?

I can't feel any connection anymore!

A head fell beside him and rolled to the ground, and the demon whose throat Yuko was holding showed a look of terror.

died!

He didn't even see the action of sheathing the sword, let alone drawing it!

This woman...

...It's a monster!!

Yuko ripped off his head and stepped on his severed body, making it impossible for him to break free no matter how hard he struggled.

Yu Zi wiped the blood from her face expressionlessly, then, holding the head, asked, "Where is he?"

Tanjiro paused, cold sweat beading on his forehead, and then laughed twice.

No... as expected of Miss Yuko.

The demon looked at her in terror and stammered, "Eat, eat it."

The next moment, a faint light flashed, and the demon's head was split in two.

His body gradually turned into ashes.

The man beside him, who had barely managed to bear the gruesome scene, was stunned when he heard what the demon said.

Yuko slowly sheathed her Nichirin Blade, lifted the girl lying on the ground to the corner of the wall, and gently woke her up.

On the other side, Tanjiro comforted the man.

Yuko did not participate.

It's not that she changed, but that tragedy always happens, and even the most sentimental person will gradually become indifferent.

They are the Demon Slayer Corps, not psychologists.

Do not……

Even psychologists cannot heal the wounds in a person's heart.

After managing to calm the man down, Tanjiro stood up gently and left silently.

Before the two demons and one human had gone two miles, Tanjiro's Kasugai crows were already circling overhead.

"The next place is Asakusa in Tokyo Prefecture!"

"I heard there's a demon lurking there!" A kasugai crow named Tennoji Matsuemon landed on Tanjiro's shoulder.

"Huh? Another mission?" Tanjiro, who had just caught his breath, couldn't help but be surprised.

Yu Zi exhaled and silently looked at the first hint of dawn on the horizon.

The demon blood remaining on his face was slowly dissolving.

The sun is so magical that even blood demon magic loses its effect under sunlight, let alone demon blood.

Yuko's mind went blank.

How long had she been separated from Tamayo?

Even if it hasn't been two hundred years, it must have been over a hundred years.

We're finally going to meet again, in this era where we have the best chance of defeating Muzan.
