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

Chapter 220 Is it Tanjiro again?

"what?"

Shinobu Kocho was a little confused by Tamayo's question. Why would Miss Tamayo say that?

Did she mislead Ms. Tamayo in some way?

Yushiro rolled his eyes behind him, thinking to himself, "No, no, no, Lady Tamayo, this guy probably just wants to see that wicked woman shrink."

Shinobu's expression became somewhat unnatural under Tamayo's intense gaze.

Hearing this, she felt like she had done something wrong.

Tamayo noticed Shinobu's stunned expression and a hint of confusion flashed in her eyes: "Isn't that right?"

"No...no..." Shinobu Kocho said, her voice lacking confidence.

She couldn't bring herself to say that she wanted to see what Yuko looked like when she shrunk.

What a shame.

And she was also misunderstood by Ms. Tamayo.

Shinobu Kocho treats Tamayo with considerable respect. To her, Tamayo is both a mentor and a friend, and Tamayo's personality is somewhat similar to her older sister's.

This made Tamayo always show her some respect when she was around her.

This makes it sound like the teacher thinks you're looking for a question, but it turns out you're asking her when the holidays are.

Tamayo was a little confused by her attitude. The more she looked at her, the more she felt that she resembled...

"...Although I've never seen Yuuko change her body shape, this kind of ability is not uncommon." After a moment of silence, Tamayo added, "At least I personally think it's quite possible."

Changing size isn't a remarkable ability. Even Nezuko can only 'slightly' change her size, switching between being a mature woman and a child, which is essentially just a change in 'age'.

Only abilities that can make you grow to enormous size or as small as a mosquito are truly effective.

Just as Tamayo said, it's normal for a person's body shape to change when they transform into a demon.

Perhaps feeling a little embarrassed, Shinobu Kocho didn't continue the conversation, but instead took the initiative to steer the topic back on track.

"The village where swords were forged was attacked by Muzan, and this blood is what Ikuko obtained when she killed Upper Moon Five."

Tamayo understood the sudden shift in her topic and remained silent for a moment before asking, "Could it be Tanjiro again?"

Does that child really have some special constitution?

The Upper Moon... no, the Twelve Demon Moons, one after another, approached him.

It's even more potent than so-called rare blood.

She increasingly felt how accurate Ikuko's words, "change has begun," were after she met Tanjiro.

Shinobu Kocho paused for a moment, then nodded: "Tanjiro is indeed..."

But she felt that Ms. Tamayo had misunderstood something again.

Tanjiro and the others appeared at the Butterfly Mansion because she felt that the three little ones had been working very hard lately, and she could take them to a hot spring to relax.

“Yuko’s older brother, Upper Moon One, also appeared on that battlefield, and Yuko’s ability to overcome sunlight was thus exposed.”

Upon hearing this, Tamayo fell silent once again.

Shinobu Kocho pursed her lips slightly: "I think Muzan's attack will begin soon."

"Hmm." Tamayo closed her eyes slightly. "That guy won't let this opportunity slip by."

No one understood Muzan's obsession with overcoming sunlight better than she did.

That's Muzan's obsession for over a thousand years.

That guy... he'll definitely go crazy with excitement.

Tamayo had no doubt about Muzan's actions.

Since that swordsman's death, no one has been able to directly confront Muzan.

Moreover, Muzan also has that swordsman's older brother, whose fighting strength is no less than that of Yuko.

Even now, their chances of victory are not great.

Fortunately... her drug has been developed, now it's just a matter of... creating a good opportunity.

Hope this helps everyone...

"Why is there no one?"

Just then, Yuko's confused voice came from outside the door.

"This way." Yushiro stepped out of the door first and waved to her.

Yuko was walking towards the laboratory when she saw Shinobu Kocho as she entered. She wasn't surprised and simply nodded at her.

"By the way, where is Yae?" She hadn't seen a single person along the way.

Tamayo lowered her eyelids slightly, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "Miss Yae brought her father home a few days ago, saying that she was going to atone for her sins."

Atonement?

Yu Ziwei fell silent for a moment, thinking about the situation of Yae's father.

Although she managed to save him by preserving a sliver of humanity, it is undeniable that Yae's father had harmed others after becoming a demon.

That must have been a very painful memory.

If it weren't for the emotional entanglement between Yae and her father that moved Yuko, she probably wouldn't have chosen to intervene.

Unlike Yae, Nezuko, and Yushiro, her father had eaten people.

When this topic was brought up, Tamayo's expression became serious.

Yuko's expression was somewhat unnatural; it seemed she had asked something she shouldn't have.

This topic has always been a source of sorrow for Tamayo.

Tamayo also gave up on herself and ate many people.

Tamayo's story is quite pitiful. When she was a human, she suffered from a terminal illness, and even though she was already a famous doctor at the time, she was unable to cure her disease.

Because she wanted to see her child grow up, Tamayo was deceived by Muzan and turned into a demon.

After becoming a ghost, although her illness was cured, she couldn't control herself and killed her husband and child with her own hands.

Therefore, after regaining her senses, Tamayo's heart was filled with despair, and that period of self-destruction hurt many people.

She was only able to break free from Muzan's control after the swordsman severely injured him.

To fulfill her promise to Yoriichi, she overcame her demonic instincts with sheer willpower, researching ways to modify herself while surviving on animal and human corpses.

However, deep down, in the days that followed, Tamayo did not stop thinking about atoning for her past self-destructive behavior.

If it weren't for Yuko and Yushiro, Tamayo wouldn't believe how she managed to persevere for the past few centuries.

She was really lucky.

The atmosphere became a little strange, and Yuko winked at Yushiro.

Now it's your turn to step in!

Shinobu blinked, indicating that she didn't understand at all, as she was unaware of Tamayo's past.

But Yushiro understood.

"Lady Tamayo, you don't need to blame yourself. I will always be with you." Yushiro's voice was not as energetic as usual, but you could feel the weight in his words.

Children can be taught.

Yu Zi breathed a sigh of relief.

A smile appeared on Tamayo's lips. She didn't want others to worry. After glancing at Shinobu Kocho, she turned her gaze to Ikuko.
