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

Chapter 471 What does "22 companions" mean?

Perhaps because Genya was treating everyone, he showed his friendly side and quickly became friends with the children.

"Brother Xuanmi, you're so tall! What did you eat to grow up like that?"

"Haha, this is nothing, there are plenty of people taller than me." What to eat? Ghosts, of course! Wild vegetables, you think?

Uzui Tengen was even more perfect in height and appearance, but he was not familiar with the children and failed to attract their attention.

"Brother Genya, how did you meet Brother Tanjiro?"

"This one……"

You can't exactly say you met her while peeping at her showering...

bah bah bah! !

He clearly went to the sword-forging village to repair his Nichirin Blade; it was that blond guy who led him astray.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Speaking of which, Tanjiro's younger siblings are all here, but where are he and Nezuko?"

"And Inosuke and Zenitsu, I heard those two are with Tanjiro too?"

"Why haven't we seen them?"

As he spoke, Xuanmi looked around.

Little did he know that three seconds later, he would regret it deeply.

As soon as Xuanmi finished asking his question, he saw the two of them looking at him with strange expressions.

"Huh? Did I say something wrong?"

"No, we just meant that, like when your brother left with Kanae just now," Yuko shook her head, "all that's left here are single people."

Single... single dog?

What is this statement?

Although it sounded a bit strange, Genya still understood its meaning.

Xuanmi hesitated for a moment before saying, "Um, you mean, they all... you know..."

Despite his burly build and concern for his older brother and Kanae, he's just a kid who's barely even touched a girl's hand.

As for why it's 'not much', it's because Yuko touched him countless times when she beat him up.

Shinobu Kocho chimed in with a hint of resentment, "That's right, they all went out in pairs to play together."

In the end, isn't she the one who suffered the most?

She really wanted to travel with Yuko, but now she's the kindergarten principal and has to take care of these children.

She didn't have a problem with the children; under normal circumstances, she would have done her best to entertain them when visiting the Butterfly family, but now...

She felt a pang of regret, regretting that she hadn't kept a close eye on her sister earlier.

"Uh..." Xuanmi smiled with relief, saying, "I thought they didn't..."

Suddenly, he realized the key point.

Looking shocked, she asked, "What? Miss Yuko, do you mean Tanjiro teamed up with someone?"

Is that Tanjiro? Is it Tanjiro?

"Kanao."

Xuanmi's eyes widened: "Eh?! Are those two in that kind of relationship?!"

"uh-huh."

"That's truly astonishing." Xuanmi sighed, his turbulent emotions gradually calming down. "When did those two start? I didn't even notice."

Yu Zi teased, "It's normal that you wouldn't notice, right?"

Genmi didn't pay attention to Yuko's teasing. Just as he was about to accept reality, he was surprised and his eyes widened.

No way……

It couldn't be what he thought...

"Wait, wait a minute!" Genya stammered, "Zenitsu and Inosuke are here too, right?"

Yuko nodded with a smile: "Yes, those two came with Tanjiro."

"Miss Yuko, you just said that everyone else was in pairs..."

“Yes, that’s right.” Yuko nodded matter-of-factly.

Genmi was shocked.

Tanjiro is one thing, since he felt from the beginning that Tanjiro's upbringing was on a completely different level from theirs, but what about that blond guy and that pig-headed guy? Is it because they're both more abstract than each other?

Genya could hardly believe his own understanding, still clinging to a sliver of hope, and asked, "You actually mean that Zenitsu and Inosuke are traveling together, right?"

It can't be the girl accompanying those two, right? Haha...

How can it be!

How could those two guys possibly have girls with them!

Shinobu Kocho shattered his hopes: "No, Zenitsu went with Nezuko, while Inosuke was dragged away by Himawari."

Xuanmi's face turned blank, as if he had heard something incredible.

Of course, if it's truly extraordinary.

You mean? That freak who's always yelling nonsense, whose head is full of lewd drivel, and who leads them to peep at girls showering, and that idiot with a head full of stupid cells, actually have people who like them?

"Yes, there was no other way, right? Nezuko and Himawari were just accompanying them as they left?"

“What girl would wander around a temple fair with someone she doesn’t like?” Yuko’s head shaking seemed as cold as December frost to Genmi.

Xuanmi's figure turned gray.

He doesn't really care about dating or being liked by girls.

……

But what right do those two bastards have?!

Xuanmi was so jealous he was almost going crazy.

"Brother Genya, would you like someone to go to the temple fair with you?" At this moment, Hanako stepped forward, took Genya's hand, and looked up at him with an innocent expression, asking, "Hanako can come with you."

"No, it's not like that..." Genmi was somewhat moved, but not that much.

That's not the kind of kid he wants!

Yuko patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "It's okay, Genya. Look on the bright side. Your friends have all found happiness."

Xuanmi asked somewhat blankly, "Is this a good thing?"

Don't you want to wish your friends well?

"...To be honest, I don't really want to."

Yuko and Shinobu burst out laughing, while Genya's face grew increasingly dark.

"Alright, alright, if there's a pretty girl, I'll definitely help you get her contact information."

Xuanmi scratched his head helplessly. It wasn't the problem; he was just too surprised that anyone would like those two idiots.

However, if it's Nezuko, it's not entirely incomprehensible.

He had heard Tanjiro say that before they met Inosuke, Zenitsu had protected Nezuko from Inosuke's clutches.

But what is Xiao Kui?

Why would I like that pig's head?!

How could that idiot possibly be associated with a good man?!

Hearing this, Takeo understood their conversation. It turned out that all his friends had someone they liked, but he didn't.

Therefore, having deeply understood the principle of reciprocity, Takeo, who had just received a benefit from Genmi, patted his chest and made a guarantee.

"Brother Xuanmi, don't worry, there are many pretty ladies in our town, I'll introduce you to some!"

This scene amused Shinobu and Ikuko once again.

“…Thank you.” Xuanmi forced a smile that looked more like a grimace.

And so, a heartbroken young man joined the temple fair.
