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

The scene was completely silent. Even Tanjiro, who had been extremely nervous just moments before, was speechless with astonishment at the sight.

Among the pillars, some looked surprised, some were indifferent, and some had complicated thoughts.

Obanai Iguro's heterochromatic eyes, with their golden-green hues, scrutinized the two of them with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty.

incredible……

Although he didn't use a sword form, Shinazugawa definitely didn't hold back just now.

From his perspective, the battle was completely under his control; Shinazugawa was completely suppressed from beginning to end, possessing no ability whatsoever to threaten his opponent.

In other words, this woman...

It possesses the strength to absolutely crush the pillar.

At least, he wasn't confident he could suppress Shinazugawa so easily, and it was questionable whether Mr. Xingming could suppress Shinazugawa so easily either.

Obanai Iguro looked down and asked, "Butterfly, who is this woman?"

Shinobu Kocho smiled and said, "You are a distinguished guest of my lord."

Everyone turned their gaze toward her.

Sound Pillar Yuzui Tengen's eyes shifted slightly: "What do you mean by that?"

“Literally.”

The Flame Pillar, Rengoku Kyojuro, bluntly stated, "Even if they are our lord's honored guests, we cannot protect evil spirits!"

Kanae Kocho defended herself, saying, "But if what this child says is true, perhaps there are also kind and good demons among demons."

"Wouldn't this indiscriminate approach tarnish the reputation of the Demon Slayer Corps?"

Obanai Iguro looked down at her: "You're as naive as ever."

Butterfly, suppressing a smile, looked up: "Mr. Iguro~"

"Ok?"

"Hey!" Shinobu Kocho slowly stretched out her legs and then kicked the tree.

The tree shook violently for a moment, and Obanai Iguro, feeling the jolt, had no choice but to climb down. He looked at Shinobu Kocho with some surprise.

Is it his imagination?

Does Butterfly really have that much strength?

Shinobu Kocho ignored them, turned to face the crowd, and pointed with a smile at the two people locked in a stalemate: "By the way, aren't you all concerned about Mr. Shinazugawa? He's about to be killed."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they all looked over.

Thank goodness you finally noticed.

As Ikuko was being stared at intently by the ferocious-looking Sanemi Shinazugawa, her eyelids twitched slightly. She was beginning to wonder who the sword was actually pointed at.

Shinazugawa's arm trembled slightly, and the veins on his forehead bulged, clearly indicating that he was struggling with Ikuko.

Yu Zi had no doubt that if she let go of his foot, this guy would turn around and stab her with his knife.

Just as the situation was becoming increasingly tense, a young girl's voice came from afar.

"Our lord has arrived!"

That guy Ubuyashiki has been eavesdropping for a long time, hasn't he?

Yuko twitched her lips, released her foot, and sheathed her Nichirin Blade.

"Tch." Shinazugawa Sanemi gritted his teeth, clicked his tongue in displeasure, then obediently sheathed his Nichirin Blade and flashed to the side of the group.

My lord?

Tanjiro looked up in surprise.

Good morning everyone, the weather is really nice today.

Will the sky be blue?

“I am truly gratified that everyone can gather here for the bi-annual meeting of the Zhuhe Association.”

Supported by two doll-like girls, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, with strange scars on his face, came to the group.

Before Tanjiro could even examine the scars on his face closely, he was tackled to the ground by Sanemi Shinazugawa, who had arrived at the scene.

Yu Zi's eyelids twitched, and she began to suspect that this guy was settling a personal score.

brush!

The ten Pillars, the most powerful members of the Demon Slayer Corps, all knelt on one knee.

It was quite neat.

Just as Yu Zi was about to applaud everyone in her heart, she saw them all turn to look at her.

"?"

Why are you looking at her like that?

Yuko looked at them, then at herself, and suddenly realized what was happening.

He said expressionlessly, "I'm a guest."

It is common sense that guests do not need to kneel on one knee.

Upon hearing this, the pillars all averted their gaze.

"We are very pleased that our lord is in good health. We wish you continued good health in the future." Just a moment ago, Shinazugawa Sanemi had been looking like a villain with a ferocious expression, but his face softened instantly.

Ikuko: "..."

Who is this guy? Where is the guy from before?

With the children's help, Kagaya Ubuyashiki sat down: "Thank you, Sanemi."

Sanemi Shinazugawa: "Excuse my bluntness, but before the Pillar Meeting begins, could you please explain this matter of harboring evil spirits?"

Unexpectedly straightforward.

Yuko took the opportunity to observe the pillars she hadn't had a chance to look at before.

I don’t know, I’m scared.

Yuko's gaze narrowed to the blind man who was over two meters tall and still robust even when kneeling on one knee.

Is it a rock pillar?

This body is simply unbelievable.

Its solid foundation represents the pinnacle of human capabilities.

In terms of physical strength alone, he probably couldn't even compare to Iwakatsu during his human era.

As expected, they are the strongest generation.

There was no one this strong among the first generation of Pillars.

Yuko's gaze continued to scrutinize.

Huh? Is this girl really a girl?

What's going on with this muscle density?

I feel like Nezuko would cry for a long time if I punched her.

Yuko was increasingly delighted as she looked at them. Although they weren't as eye-catching as the Rock Pillars, they were indeed all rare swordsmen.

Not everything is more powerful the older it is.

The first generation of Pillars were mostly able to awaken their Demon Slayer Marks thanks to Yoriichi. In terms of talent and combat power, the Pillars of this generation are really no worse than them at the same level.

That is……

Yuko's gaze locked onto the boy with long black hair, the ends of which were mint green, and who was staring blankly into space.

I understood as soon as I saw her.

They are descendants of Yan Sheng.

Yuko recalled the news about the Tsugumi country that she had inquired about when she returned to her hometown with Yoriichi.

Yes, tokito?

A branch of people sought refuge in the mountains to avoid disaster.

Just as Ikuko was lost in her memories, she heard Kagaya Ubuyashiki's voice.

"Regarding this topic, I believe Ms. Yuko can provide a satisfactory answer."

"Huh? Me?"

Yu Zi was stunned for a moment, and before she could react, she felt the enthusiastic gazes of everyone again.

Shinazugawa Sanemi gritted his teeth: "Satisfied? This woman?"

Yu Zi's lips twitched, and she took a deep breath: "Then I will explain."

"As that young girl just said, the kind-hearted Gui is not..."

Uzui Tengen interrupted coldly, "Stop talking nonsense."

"It's not nonsense. Although they are very rare, there are indeed demons that have broken free from Muzan's control and act according to their own will."

Sanemi Shinazugawa looked at him with a ferocious gaze: "Break free from Muzan's control? Act according to your own will?"

Yuko nodded slightly: "That's right. Both Yae-san's father and Nezuko regained their senses under the call of their loved ones."

"Mr. Tomioka can attest to this."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Shinazugawa Sanemi suddenly went berserk, his teeth clenched and his hands unconsciously tightened, his voice filled with unprecedented anger, "You mean to bring back reason?"

"Do you think I'd believe something like that?!"

Yu Zi frowned slightly. This guy's tone was completely different from before. Had she accidentally touched a nerve?
