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

Chapter 661 This lady, please calm down.

The following morning, in the office.

Yuko put her things down in front of her seat, turned around and asked, "Miyu, did you encounter any accidents on your way back yesterday?"

Ochi Miyu looked puzzled: "No, why do you ask that?"

"It's nothing, I just said it offhand." Yuko placed the bento box from her bag on Miyu's desk. "Hey, this is today's bento."

"Ah, I already said I didn't need it." Miyu scratched her cheek a little embarrassedly.

Yu Zi smiled slightly, about to say something.

Just then, there were a few knocks at the door, followed by a calm and steady voice.

"Excuse me, is Ms. Yuko here?"

Everyone instinctively looked towards the doorway, where they saw a young and beautiful woman who looked to be around thirty years old.

"It's you? I was just thinking of giving that guy a piece of my mind." Yuko scratched her hair in annoyance, then apologized, "Oh, sorry, it's not that I have any complaints about you, Katagiri-san."

The visitor was none other than Katagiri Hae, Ishida Uryu's mother and Ishida Ryūgen's wife.

Katagiri Haze, a half-Queen, lost her powers during the Sanctuary a few years ago. In fact, it could be said that if it weren't for Ikuko's help, she probably wouldn't have lasted much longer.

Although it only took away the Quincy's power, it was undoubtedly equivalent to taking away vital organs from a normal person, which could lead to death.

If it had been any later, Katagiri Yoko might not have existed at all.

Katagiri Yoru shook her head slightly, her face displaying a mature and polite demeanor: "Lord Ryugen is unable to attend due to work, but if it's the parents, as the child's mother, I should also have the right to take the blame on behalf of Lord Ryugen."

Ochi Miyu listened, her lips twitching violently twice, and she turned her head speechlessly: "What does this mean?"

"Why does what this noble lady is saying sound like you're bullying her?"

Yu Zi rolled her eyes: "This is none of your business. Class is about to start, you'd better go."

Ochi Miyu chuckled and said nothing more.

When class time arrived, the other teachers in the office went to their respective classes, leaving only Yu Zi and her colleague in the office.

"Have a seat." Yuko moved a stool over from the side.

"excuse me."

Yu Zi sighed, "I was originally planning to give that guy a piece of my mind."

Katagiri Yoru said calmly, "You can scold me."

“…No, how could I possibly say that?” Yu Zi looked speechless. “Alright, I just wanted to make you guys watch your step.”

"Pay more attention to the way your child is educated."

"What happened yesterday was so dangerous, it dragged so many people into it."

Katagiri Yoh lowered her head: "I'm so sorry, that child is still not mature enough."

Yu Zi lowered her eyelids: "No, I think your whole family is quite immature."

She sighed heavily and asked, "Is Yulong's injury alright?"

Katagiri Yoh nodded slightly: "Yes, I did some simple bandaging for him, and he came to school today."

Yuko's lips moved, but she couldn't help but say, "...School isn't such a cruel place. If you're injured, just stay home and recover!"

Katagiri Yoru smiled slightly: "No, that child said that she wanted to apologize to that Grim Reaper no matter what."

Yuko was taken aback for a moment, but ultimately had no choice but to accept it.

"Your whole family is so arrogant, aren't you? Can't you be a little more honest with me?"

"Tsundere? What does 'tsundere' mean?"

"...It's nothing, I just suddenly felt like I had no way to use my strength."

Katagiri Yoru said calmly, "If you are dissatisfied, you can punish me at any time."

"Madam! Please be rational! What you're saying is too dangerous!"

Yuko couldn't help but complain, "This woman's words are too dangerous!"

If she had known it would be like this, why would she have bothered contacting her parents!

Could that bastard have deliberately sent his wife over here?

Ryūgen Ishida is the director of Karakura-cho General Hospital, and he is indeed very busy every day, so Ikuko couldn't be sure.

Of course, this speculation is actually meaningless.

After all, she couldn't actually hit someone.

Yu Zi waved her hand dismissively: "Fine, it's your business how you raise your child, but if this happens again, I'll have to come and visit you next time."

"I understand. I will convey your message to Lord Ryugen and ask him to punish Yulong."

"No, no, no! Madam! You've misunderstood me again!" Yuko quickly stopped her, looking at Katagiri Yoru's bewildered expression, she finally lowered her head helplessly and took out a report card from the table, "That one, actually, I called you here today to tell you that the child is very outstanding."

"You could reward him appropriately."

I'm so tired, this family's thought process is completely different from normal people.

Yuko suddenly had a feeling that the long-standing feud between the Shinigami and the Quincy was most likely due to the Quincy.

Well, if all Quincy are like this.

Speaking of which, Masaki's personality is completely different.

Masaki is definitely the best.

“…Yes, I will.” Katagiri Yoru was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously took the report card from Yuko’s hand. Ishida Uryu’s name appeared first.

"I'm sorry to have made you come all this way."

After seeing Katagiri Yoko off, Ikuko slumped into her chair.

Honestly, it was nothing like the image of a strict teacher reprimanding students' parents that she had imagined!

That guy, Ryūgen Ishida, actually stood her up.

If Yulong makes a mistake again, she will definitely find an opportunity to give him a good scolding.

Yuko's thoughts gradually drifted back, Yoruichi's words from yesterday still echoing in her ears.

Will the Soul Society intervene...?

That's true. Even setting aside the commotion caused by so many Hollows, the appearance of the Great Hollows alone is enough to attract the attention of the Soul Society.

Menos Grande usually stay in Hueco Mundo and don't typically appear in the human world.

……

Um?and many more!

Summer vacation is just around the corner, I hope this doesn't ruin my wonderful summer vacation!

Yuko fell into deep thought.

……

Ishida Uryu actually came today, with his hands wrapped in bandages.

What I heard from Miyu was that the child had fallen down the stairs and injured his hand.

Hmm, that's a good reason.

but……

During class, Yu Zi noticed that everyone was distracted and not concentrating on their textbooks at all.

Whether it's Orihime, Chad, or even Tatsuki...

As expected, Urahara's handling of the situation was inappropriate?

That memory-replacing gadget can only work on ordinary people with little spiritual power, so it's understandable that it's ineffective.

At noon, Ikuko received a message from Kisuke Urahara.

coming.

What's coming?

Earthquake? Tornado? Or tsunami?

Yu Zi tilted her head, then realized that her summer vacation was most likely over.

After greeting Miyu, I followed the attraction back home, only to find that Rukia wasn't there.

Yuko waited for a while, and as darkness fell, Rukia was still nowhere to be seen, while Ichigo had been back for quite some time.

Yuko went to Rukia's room and pushed the door open.

After giving the room to Rukia, Ikuko never went in or out of the room again.

On the tabletop, which had only been purchased recently and still had a glossy finish, a note was placed.

"Thank you for taking care of me these past few days—Kuchiki Rukia."

So that's how it is. You've realized that transferring your power to ordinary people will get you arrested by Soul Society, so you want to avoid her?

No...should we avoid her and Ichigo?

Hurried footsteps echoed from the stairwell leading from the second floor to the first floor. With a thud, Ichigo Kurosaki knocked over the shoe cabinet in the entryway and, panting, held up the envelope in his hand.

"Aunt Yu Zi! Something terrible has happened!"

"Rukia is in trouble!"

"Beautiful lady! Please save our boss!"

Following behind Ichigo was a lion doll with tears streaming down its face.

Why do dolls talk?

Wait, no, what kind of term is "great beauty"?!

Looking at the shoe cabinet that Ichigo had messed up, Yuko's face darkened: "Do you want to die?"

Upon hearing this, Ichigo was not frightened at all; instead, his eyes lit up with surprise, and he asked, "How did you know?"

Yuko was stunned for a moment, then Ichigo continued, "Please, Aunt Yuko! Smash my soul! Let me become a Shinigami."

Ichigo patted his chest.

"..." Yuko raised her finger expressionlessly. Ichigo didn't see her make any move, but he felt a wave of energy coming over him, and his soul was instantly shaken out of his body.

"You've been a great help!" Ichigo touched his body, and before he could say anything more, he jumped out of the window with his large cleaver on his back, leaving behind a corpse and Rukia's letter.

"Hey idiot! Wait for me!" Soul still wanted to chase after him with his short legs.

"Don't bother chasing after it with your short legs." Yu Zi casually picked it up and tossed it back onto the sofa, then squatted down to pick up the envelope and glanced at it.

It's probably just a simple farewell letter... huh?

Yuko turned her gaze back, becoming more focused.

Due to certain reasons, I must leave...

Holy crap! What the hell is this thing?!

Yuko rubbed her temples, removing the extra tanuki characters. The letter was basically telling Ichigo that she was leaving for some reason, and that he didn't need to worry or come looking for her.

Soul jumped up from the sofa, shouting, "Beautiful lady, our leader must have been killed by the Soul Society! Go save her!"

"How can you save someone who's already dead?" Yuko replied irritably. "And call me Teacher Yuko!"

"..."

In the distance, Uryu suddenly unleashed a strange spiritual pressure.

"The plot of a shonen manga always unfolds either during summer or winter vacation!" Yuko muttered under her breath, then stopped in her tracks.

Wait, the holiday hasn't even officially started yet. She still has to attend training meetings with Miyu and such, and she won't have any free time until the last week of summer vacation...

So...

Yuko picked up the letter Rukia had left for Ichigo, found a pen, and wrote on the back of it.

"If you need to contact me while traveling far away, burn some paper money."

After writing the message, Yuko Chaohun said, "If Ichigo and I don't return before dawn, give this letter to Ichigo's parents, understand?"

"I...I understand, beautiful lady."

"..."

slip away.

Meanwhile, at Rukia's place.

"Ishida!"

Rukia gasped as she watched Ishida Uryu fall into the hands of her friend, Abarai Renji.

"See? I told you so."

"Cough cough..." Ishida lay on the ground, unable to get up. The injury to his fingers made it difficult for him to shape his spiritual energy attacks.

Renji has become stronger, making it difficult even for me to escape, let alone stop him.

“Now, I’ll deliver the fatal blow.” Renji Abarai raised his still-unreleased Zanpakuto high. “Remember this before you die.”

"Renji Abarai, that's the one who killed you!"

As the Zanpakuto fell, an even larger Zanpakuto fell from the side, smashing the ground and causing it to flip.

"What?" Renji Abarai leaped onto the wall and looked at Ichigo. "Who are you?"

"Shihaka, who are you? Which team are you from...? What's that?"

"How can there be such a large Zanpakuto?"

Only then did he get a clear look at the exaggerated Zanpakuto that Kurosaki Ichigo was carrying.

"Huh? What's wrong now? Is this really that big?" Ichigo said arrogantly. "It is indeed bigger than Rukia's, but so far I have never seen one bigger than this."

The size of a Zanpakuto almost directly reflects the strength of its spiritual pressure. Could it be that...?

Renji Abarai quickly realized what was happening.

"Is that so? You're the one who stole the power of the Shinigami from Rukia, aren't you?"

"So what?"

"I'm going to kill you!" Renji Abarai jumped off the wall and attacked Ichigo.

"Roar, Shebimaru!"

As Renji Abarai roared, the originally normal blade began to deform, becoming grotesque like the spine of some animal, with the blade extending like a snake's tail.

"Is that... Shikai?" Ichigo narrowly avoided the attack, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

"You even know about Shikai? Rukia has really taught you a lot."

Faced with this bizarre Shikai, Renji Abarai's attack style changed drastically, causing Ichigo to gradually become overwhelmed and begin to be slashed all over his body.

"Have you seen the difference in strength?" Renji Abarai showed no mercy, and his attack frequency increased.

"Ichigo! Run!" Rukia shouted, "Ichigo..."

Ichigo Kurosaki did not respond to Rukia's words. He slowly stood up, and under that immense spiritual pressure, his enormous potential was revealed along with the surge in danger.

The already powerful spiritual pressure increased further.

Why did his spiritual pressure suddenly surge?

Renji Abarai's pupils contracted slightly, and before he could figure it out, Ichigo's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.

"What?" Renji Abarai turned around quickly, his shoulder still injured by Ichigo's increased speed, blood spurting out.

"You brat!" He turned around abruptly, and the huge cleaver came straight at him, crashing into the blade of Zabimaru.

next moment.

He was blasted away.

He actually lost the battle of spiritual pressure?

Renji steadied himself and faced Ichigo, his forehead bandage shattered, blood spilling out and blurring his face.

What exactly is this spiritual pressure? Where is it coming from?

This spiritual pressure is almost on par with that of the Imperial Censor, isn't it?
