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

Chapter 237 You want to thank me, right?



Chapter 237 You want to thank me, right?

After hearing what Yuko said, Yoshiyuki Tomioka's expression became much kinder at a visible speed.

“I think that if I could get Mr. Yiyong’s help, it would be of great help to my cultivation.” Yuko’s words were sincere and without any perfunctory or falsehood.

Living longer doesn't necessarily mean you're better than others; everyone's talents are unique.

Perhaps Nagi's moves are not as good as hers, but there are still things worth learning from her.

We can become stronger by learning from the strengths of others.

Looking into Ikuko's sincere eyes, Tomioka Giyuu said directly, "Just call me Giyuu."

Click~

Tanjiro's mouth dropped open.

It's all sorted out!

Mr. Yiyong has been appeased!

Even that cold expression seemed much kinder to Tanjiro.

If he had to describe it in one sentence, he felt it was a bit like the little dog in town that used to bar its teeth at him, but after he fed it twice, its eyes became clear.

Yuko smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll leave it to you, Yoshiyuki."

Her way of addressing someone usually depends on how well the two people know each other and their personalities.

For polite and composed people like Giyu Tomioka and Kanae Kocho, whom she doesn't know very well, she'd be happy to use the honorifics "Mr" or "Miss".

For characters like Kanroji Mitsuri and Rengoku Kyojuro, who have lively and enthusiastic personalities, she prefers to call them by their names.

As for someone like Shinazugawa Sanemi, who explodes at the slightest provocation, she'll call him "brat" without any politeness.

In any case, judging from her age, she certainly has the right to say that.

This is one of the few things that Yuko is satisfied with about her age.

"Wait a moment." Giyu Tomioka bowed slightly and left the dojo with a slightly cheerful gait.

Tanjiro seized the opportunity to ask, "Miss Ikuko, is that what you mean?"

At this moment, he finally understood what Yuko meant when she said that Mr. Yiyong's words should be interpreted in reverse.

“Hmm, Tanjiro should be able to sense it too, right?” Yuko raised her index finger and said with a smile, “Giyu is actually a cold-faced but warm-hearted person.”

"Logically speaking, people with this kind of personality may seem difficult to get along with at first, but you'll come to like them once you get to know them."

Tanjiro continued, "But Giyu-san doesn't seem to get along very well with the others."

Yu Zi laughed and said, "Because he's not very good at speaking. What he wants to express is often the opposite of what he says."

"Paired with that expressionless face, it's as if he's mocking someone."

"Uh..." Tanjiro broke out in a cold sweat, and the words that Giyu had said at the Pillar Meeting yesterday involuntarily came to mind.

I'm different from you.

With that face, it's no wonder Mr. Shinazugawa was angry.

Nezuko clenched her fist in encouragement: "Brother! Let's be friends with Giyuu-san!"

"We will definitely be able to establish a friendly relationship with him."

Tanjiro's spirits rose a bit: "Oh! Nezuko! Do your best!"

"Oh!!" Nezuko mimicked her and made two similar noises.

Ikuko: "..."

Are you monkeys?

As the three were talking, Yoshiyuki Tomioka returned with a booklet in his hand.

Yi Yong handed the booklet to Yu Zi and said calmly, "I can't teach you. Here are some notes I've taken down. Take a look."

Tanjiro: It sounds like, 'He can't teach a piece of trash like you. You can just take a look at the notes.'

Yuko returned a smile: "Thank you, I'll bring it to you when we meet during the special training."

Yi Yong frowned slightly and said calmly, "I will not participate in special training."

"Is that so? Then I won't bother you any longer." Yuko took the things and prepared to leave. She stood up and bowed slightly to Yoshiyuki Tomioka to express her gratitude.

Yuko wasn't surprised. If she could be persuaded so easily, she wouldn't have brought Tanjiro along.

Compared to her, Tanjiro, who had more contact with Giyu and gave him a deeper understanding, was more likely to persuade him.

No, not just possibly, it's certain.

It's hard to say about other things, but the protagonist's talk-no-jutsu is definitely the most effective.

But to Giyu Tomioka...

do not bother?

She's saying they're leaving, right?

Giyu Tomioka's eyes lit up.

Although I still want to talk to this person, it's definitely better to be left alone.

Go well, all of you.

"Ah, goodbye, Miss Yuko." Tanjiro smiled and waved goodbye to Yuko.

Nezuko waves: "Goodbye, Yuuko-nee!"

……

"Huh?" Giyuu Tomioka was taken aback. "...Aren't you guys leaving?"

Watching Yuuko leave the dojo, Tanjiro turned around with a smile: "You're not leaving~"

"I still want to invite Mr. Yiyong to participate in the special training."

Giyu Tomioka: ...

What a headache.

"Also, Nezuko wants to thank everyone for what happened that day." Tanjiro patted Nezuko on the shoulder.

Nezuko bowed slightly: "Mr. Giyuu, thank you very much..."

"No..." Giyu Tomioka instinctively raised his hand, but stopped in mid-air. "You want to thank me, right?"

He actually didn't want to accept thanks from others.

But this time is an exception.

Tanjiro smiled broadly: "Yes!"

Nezuko clenched her fists in front of her chest: "Giyuu-san, tell us! We'll do our best..."

boom!

A sound.

Giyu Tomioka slammed the door shut.

The brother and sister stood alone in front of the door.

……

swoosh~

A gentle breeze swept by, carrying away the dust and smoke in front of the house.

The brother and sister turned their heads to the left and right, their two beady eyes meeting, and they both saw the confusion and numbness in each other's eyes.

They...were they kicked out?

……

"What?! Tanjiro can go to the special training later because he's inviting that Water Pillar?" Zenitsu looked shocked when he heard about this.

Tanjiro, holding his rice bowl, nodded and said, "Yes, because Giyu-san still seems to be..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zenitsu grabbed his hand with great enthusiasm.

Zenitsu patted Tanjiro's hand with a serious expression and said, "Leave it to me."

"I will persuade that Mr. Yiyong."

"Eh? Zenitsu knows Giyu-san?" Tanjiro asked in surprise.

Zenitsu paused for a moment, then said, "Uh... we know each other!"

Shinobu Kocho said expressionlessly, "He just doesn't want to participate in the special training, right?"

Yuko's eyes twitched slightly. She didn't know what the others would think if Zenitsu went, but Giyu would probably be very satisfied.

Zenitsu just wants to slack off; he definitely wouldn't actually persuade Giyu to go for special training.

Zenitsu retorted, "Shinobu-san! You're insulting my character!"

"Do you even have any dignity?" Shinobu Kocho asked with a forced smile.

Zenitsu waved his hand righteously: "It's fine if you insult my character, but it would be bad if Nezuko misunderstood me."

"Really? Then I'll leave the task of persuading Giyu to you," Yuko said expressionlessly.

Zenitsu's eyes lit up, but before he could rejoice, he heard Ikuko say calmly.

"It's okay if you can't catch up with the special training, I'll give you one-on-one training."

Zenitsu's face stiffened. "No need. Let Tanjiro have this good opportunity."

He felt that Miss Yuko was in more danger than being beaten up by a group of pillars.

At least, the former is certainly not in mortal danger.
