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

"Hey! Get up! Get up now!"

"How long do you want to sleep!"

Tanjiro, who had fallen into a coma due to his injuries, was awakened from his sleep by the call of Goto, a member of the Hidden Society.

"But you're standing before a pillar!"

Tanjiro subconsciously looked up and saw that he was surrounded by a crowd without realizing it.

柱？

Does it refer to the Pillars, who are the highest-ranking members of the Demon Slayer Corps?

Tanjiro looked at everyone with surprise and doubt, his thoughts still lingering on the time he had narrowly defeated Lower Moon Five Rui.

"Tanjiro Kamado, this is the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters. You are currently on trial."

Shinobu Kocho was also observing this boy, Ikuko's stepson...

I heard she's only fifteen.

Is he a genius like Tokito?

However, do the others not yet know that this child killed the Lower Moon?

Shinobu Kocho quietly observed the crowd.

My lord wants everyone to accept Yuko and this child, right?

Kyojuro Rengoku crossed his arms and said energetically, "There's no need for a trial. Protecting a demon is a violation of the squad's rules. Let us handle it. As long as it's a demon, just behead it."

"In that case, let's chop off our heads in style and show you the most magnificent blood spray."

……

Everyone chimed in with their own comments, making Tanjiro, who had just woken up, feel a little dizzy, but he instinctively began to look for his sister.

Nezuko... Where is Nezuko?!

"Instead of this, what should we do with Tomioka?"

The sound coming from the tree instantly caught Tanjiro's attention.

There was a ninja lying on the tree, dressed in a black and white striped shirt, with a white snake wrapped around her neck, and her face covered with a white cloth strip that looked very similar to Miss Yuko.

"It looks like none of you have detained him. It's giving me a headache."

"This guy violated the team rules too, right? How should he be punished? How should he be held fully accountable? What kind of punishment should he receive?"

This guy is really enjoying himself.

Shinobu Kocho looked away. That's true... after all, Mr. Tomioka isn't very popular.

"..." Giyu Tomioka just stood quietly to the side, without saying a word.

Hanahisa Kocho Kanae acted as a peacemaker: "Well, let's not talk like that for now. Let's put Mr. Tomioka's matter aside for now. Shinobu, let's give this child some water first."

Butterfly nodded with a forced smile, squatted down in front of Tanjiro and handed him the gourd: "Tanjiro, your injuries haven't been treated yet, please drink slowly."

"Then please tell me the truth."

"There's a painkiller in it, so it won't hurt."

Tanjiro drank the potion and said anxiously, "My sister has become a demon, but she has never eaten a human!"

"She has never done this before, and she never will!"

Kanae Butterfly's complexion softened slightly.

However, these words clearly failed to convince others.

"Stop talking nonsense. You're only protecting her because she's family."

"Ah, he's possessed by a demon. Let's kill this poor child now and free him."

"Please listen to me! I became a swordsman to heal Nezuko. Nezuko became a demon two years ago, and during that time, she never ate a human!"

Tanjiro tried his best to speak, but apart from the Butterfly Sisters, almost no one present understood him.

"Stop talking about these things, all that empty talk about not eating people now and not eating people in the future..."

Tanjiro gritted his teeth.

No, these guys just won't listen to reason.

Sudden.

Bang!

A muffled thud exploded in my ears.

Everyone turned to look, and saw a white figure flying backward, adjusting its posture in mid-air and landing awkwardly.

Obanai Iguro, the Serpent Pillar lying on the tree, sat up slightly, his heterochromatic eyes—one gold and one green—looking down at her. He said calmly, "Shinazugawa? What are you playing at?"

Sanemi Shinazugawa did not respond to the crowd, but instead grinned and stared menacingly down the corridor.

"Yes."

"Can't you let people finish what they're saying?" Yuko stepped out of the room and stood on the veranda, looking down at Shinazugawa Sanemi with a headache.

Behind Yuko, the hidden member who wanted to step forward as a peacemaker saw the scene and retreated back into the house trembling.

Tanjiro called out in surprise, "Miss Ikuko!"

The pillars all turned their gazes toward the woman from earlier. Had she clashed with Shinazugawa?

and……

It seems that Shinazugawa was the one who suffered the loss.

"Are you planning to protect that demon, woman?" Shinazugawa Sanemi grinned, his smile somewhat sinister.

Yuko felt a little dizzy; she wasn't very good at dealing with this kind of thick-skinned guy.

Moreover, this guy's art style really looks different from everyone else's.

"I don't care who you are, but anyone who tries to protect a demon will be punished the same way." Shinazugawa Sanemi drew his Nichirin Blade from his waist with a ferocious expression.

"Wait, Shinazugawa..." Kanae, who had already recognized Yuuko, was about to reach out to stop her, but was stopped by her younger sister.

She looked at him, puzzled.

Shinobu Kocho smiled slightly: "Mr. Shinazugawa is probably going to suffer a loss."

Everyone was surprised by her words and couldn't help but turn their gazes toward the two of them.

Shinazugawa Sanemi drew his sword and attacked Ikuko without hesitation.

What kind of crazy event is this?

While suffering from a headache, Yuko reached out and cut off Shinazugawa Sanemi's blade.

Obanai Iguro, the Serpent Pillar, suddenly narrowed his pupils and sat up straight.

Everyone looked shocked.

"He only used his hands..."

Sanemi Shinazugawa stared in disbelief as Ikuko gripped his blade with one hand, but being a Pillar, he used his wrist to forcefully push Ikuko away and unleashed an arc-shaped slash towards her.

Yuko was slightly surprised and turned away to avoid it.

This guy might be even stronger than Giyu.

He just doesn't listen to people and is nowhere near as lovable as Yiyong.

Yu Zi frowned slightly, and the veins on her fair arm bulged as she reached for the blade once more.

Shinazugawa Sanemi almost laughed in anger; this woman actually wanted to use the same trick again.

He slashed at Yu Zi's arm with his head down, but Yu Zi pulled back her arm and flicked her finger, causing his blade to deflect slightly. Then, to the astonishment of the other man, he stepped on the back of the blade that was about to strike.

"You woman...!" Shinazugawa looked up, veins bulging on his forehead, his expression suddenly freezing.

"General."

Yuko looked at him calmly, her Nichirin Blade already pressed against Shinazugawa Sanemi's nose.
