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

Chapter 146 What makes this guy so special?

Obanai Iguro stood silently on the ruins, and Tengen Uzui could understand his thoughts.

It's absolutely despairing.

Obanai Iguro belatedly asked, "Speaking of which, didn't you just say you bled a lot?"

As he spoke, his strange heterochromatic eyes looked Yu Suitianyuan up and down.

There was indeed a lot of blood on his body, and a large amount of blood had flowed from his waist, but... there was no sign of serious injury.

It means there are some minor scratches on the surface, the kind that might heal on the way to the hospital.

If you go to the Butterfly Mansion for a medical appointment, you won't even be allowed to enter the door; Shinobu Kocho will throw you out, bed and all.

This can be called massive bleeding?

"Ah, you mean this? This is..." Yuzui Tengen was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly remembered that it seemed like no one else knew about this.

He could actually understand that ghosts, while able to sever their own heads and not die, couldn't make others' severed limbs regenerate.

Once it's exposed, won't it explode?

Is this considered Miss Yuko's secret?

Thinking of this, Uzui Tengen changed his mind and said, "You should ask Miss Yuko about this. I don't know how to explain it."

Obanai Iguro stared at him expressionlessly for a few seconds before looking away: "Never mind, I'm not interested."

"No one's still holding a grudge, right?" Uzui Tengen chuckled as he patted Obanai Iguro on the back, but she easily dodged it.

Uzui Tengen pouted, "You're so stingy! I just said you're gloomy, is it really that big of a deal?"

Dark little devil~

Obanai Iguro's face showed the character "井" (well): "You bastard, you remember it quite clearly."

Uzui Tengen chuckled: "Well, weren't you supposed to teach us how to activate those... marks?"

"Of course I care."

Obanai Iguro paused for a moment: "Stripes? You really think that stuff is useful?"

"Do you even need to think about it?" Yuzui Tengen shrugged indifferently. "If you had experienced what I went through today, you would definitely choose to believe in this kind of method to become stronger."

"Besides, even if you don't trust other people, don't you trust Butterfly and Kyojuro?"

Obanai Iguro frowned slightly.

Compared to Tanjiro and his group of new recruits who had just joined the Demon Slayer Corps, although he had earned the title of Pillar and awakened the so-called Demon Slayer Mark, it was still a fact that he was accompanied by a demon. Although he had nothing to say because of the Master's approval, he would never say that he completely trusted them.

But Shinobu Kocho and Kyojuro Rengoku are different.

They are partners you can entrust your back to.

Both of them have now activated their markings and have given him the assessment that their strength has increased significantly. In addition, with the Lord's endorsement, he really can't refute it.

but……

Obanai Iguro secretly glanced at Tengen Uzui.

This guy was really hit hard.

How could he say such a thing?

Get stronger?

If I can become stronger and contribute to killing Muzan, then not living past twenty-five really isn't such a price to pay.

For a scumbag like him to be able to help others, such a small thing doesn't matter at all.

For some reason, the image of the girl with the strange hair color inexplicably surfaced in his mind.

That might help her too, right?

……

Seeing that the group didn't say much after returning from next door, Yuko breathed a sigh of relief and perfunctorily stuffed Nezuko into the box.

Nezuko looked at her older sister blankly, wondering why she had been playing with her so well just moments before, and then suddenly she was sent away.

In fact, Yuko was overthinking it.

No one will blame her for causing such great losses.

This was never meant to be a happy family gathering.

It's impossible for no one to die...

When faced with demons, especially the so-called Twelve Demon Months, even if they have to sacrifice themselves or harm the interests of ordinary people, they will not hesitate to cut off the demons' heads.

This is so that more people will not be harmed by evil spirits.

If you have to choose between one person and dozens or even hundreds of people, even a child could do that.

Moreover, when the battle with Kokushibo broke out, most of the surrounding residents fled, so only the houses collapsed.

The Ubuyashiki family's almost intuitive ability to make money means that losing money to this extent is nothing to them.

……

Thanks to the efforts of the Demon Slayer Corps' logistics unit, the subsequent reassurance and reconstruction work proceeded smoothly.

Ikuko returned to the Butterfly Mansion with Tanjiro and the others.

The Butterfly House serves as their current base, and they are basically stationed there except when they are on missions.

As they approached the Butterfly House, a flamboyant figure suddenly appeared at the entrance.

The colorful haori shimmered softly in the sunlight, and Shinobu couldn't contain herself and rushed forward upon seeing the crowd.

"Ikuko!"

"Tolerate."

"Are you alright?" Shinobu Kocho pulled Yuuko's arm up and looked her up and down.

She had already heard from her lord about her contact with Upper Moon One and Upper Moon Six.

Others may not know, but Shinobu Kocho knows all too well that Kokushibo, Upper Moon One, is Ikuko's brother.

His sudden appearance in Youguo was bound to worry her.

If things hadn't already been over, she might have rushed there overnight.

Thinking of this, she looked at Tanjiro with a complicated expression.

Is Yuko's stepson really alright?

I always feel like he's a jinx.

Not only did they encounter the waning moon, but they also kept running into the upper moon, which they would never normally encounter.

He even managed to run into Muzan.

I have a feeling that if this continues, something bad will happen sooner or later.

As Uzui Tengen, who was supporting his three wives at the back of the group, saw Shinobu Kocho's worried expression, his lips twitched slightly.

"This woman is a ghost. Where exactly are you trying to find the wound?"

"You might as well care about other people."

Upon hearing this, Shinobu Kocho's worried expression vanished instantly, and she turned to look at Tengen Uzui expressionlessly.

"Aren't you still alive and well?"

Are you injured anywhere?

Shinobu Kocho said, glancing up and down as she spoke.

Uzui Tengen's lips twitched: "Isn't this your job as a doctor?"

"Sorry, there's a sign at the entrance saying that Uzui Tengen and dogs are not allowed to enter."

Uzui Tengen instantly went berserk: "Where is it written?!"

Shinobu Kocho said expressionlessly, "I'll hang it up in a bit. Do you have a problem with that?"

"...No." Considering that the Butterfly Mansion was owned by someone else, he really couldn't refute it.

Forget it, just bear with it.

After all, you'll need to ask them for help when you need medical care in the future, so it's best not to offend doctors.

Neither of these women are good people.

His wife is definitely the best.

Uzui Tengen thought to himself and hugged his three wives even tighter.

Zenitsu, standing behind, gritted his teeth, and the characters "井" (well) appeared on his dark face.

"It's so enviable... What makes this guy so special..."
