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

Chapter 486 Dancing in the Night Sky

Shinobu's expression says a lot.

Yu Zi said somewhat guiltily, "How about I do it again?"

Shinobu Kocho looked at her expressionlessly without saying a word, but it was clear that she was speechless.

Yuko gritted her teeth, thinking that she should be like Zenitsu, that shameless guy, and pout and kiss him right now.

With that thought in mind, Yuko closed her eyes and nervously stuck her head out.

Butterfly sighed silently, pondering whether she should cooperate with Yuko.

The thought of such a clumsy fellow gave Shinobu Kocho a headache.

With her eyes closed, Yuko stretched her head forward for a long time but couldn't feel Shinobu Kocho. So she stretched out her hands, trying to determine Shinobu's location.

She stretched out her hands, which were quickly grabbed by Shinobu Kocho's hands.

Yuko was touched; it seemed that Ren still cared about her.

Yuko quickly felt a warm breath on her cheek, held her breath, and gently leaned forward.

This time, she won't just awkwardly bump into Shinobu.

Slowly, Yuuko sensed Shinobu's presence, and her lips parted slightly...

"Ah!" Yuko suddenly shrank back, opened her eyes, covered her mouth, and looked at Shinobu Kocho in shock.

Why did you bite me?

Yes, Yuko had just felt Shinobu's lips when she was bitten.

Shinobu squinted her eyes: "Because Ikuko is an idiot."

Actually, it's because they're so cute that I inexplicably wanted to tease them.

It's clumsy, but also adorable.

She has the face of a mature and sophisticated woman, but she acts like a fool.

but……

It was only in front of her that Yuko would openly reveal this clumsiness, right?

Yuko's lips twitched slightly: "Can I argue with that?"

Shinobu Kocho raised an eyebrow: "Hmm~ If you think there's a problem with what I said, of course you can."

Yuko decisively chose to keep quiet.

But now it was Butterfly's turn to relent, "Eh? What does Yuko mean?"

"It's like I've threatened them, that's why they're afraid to speak."

Yuko lowered her eyes, thinking, isn't that right?

Shinobu narrowed her eyes: "Isn't that what Yuuko is trying to say?"

Huh? Do you have mind-reading abilities or something?

Yuko's eyes widened.

"It will not happen."

what? !

She now strongly suspects that Shinobu has evolved into a superhuman, developing the superpower of mind reading.

Shinobu Kocho crossed her arms and said, "You can't refute me not because I'm intimidating or threatening you, but because you can't refute my point of view."

"Yuko, you're a complete idiot."

Yuko covered her face, thinking, "This is so unfair!"

She pleaded, "I'm going to cry."

Shinobu Kocho rested her finger on her chin and said thoughtfully, "Speaking of which, I've never seen Yuuko cry before. Maybe she'll be very cute, the kind of person who makes you want to protect her."

"How about it? Try crying once and see?" Shinobu Kocho looked at her with great interest.

Yuko was silent for a moment: "Are you a devil?"

Shinobu Kocho suddenly smiled and said, seemingly out of context, "I like Yuuko~"

Yu Zi was stunned for a moment, then a slight smile appeared on her lips: "If you had said that earlier, wouldn't I have been moved to tears?"

Shinobu Kocho explained, "Occasional bickering is beneficial for the growth of feelings."

"Arguing? I feel like it's one-sided suffering."

"Ikuko~"

"I was wrong."

Shinobu Kocho looked at the city, which had quieted down sometime earlier: "It's over, the fireworks. I didn't get enough of them."

Yuko rolled her eyes: "Because Shinobu has been acting crazy, hasn't he?"

Shinobu Kocho rolled her eyes: "That's because Ikuko was too stupid first."

"Let's go down the mountain." Shinobu Kocho stood up, raised her hands above her head, and stretched.

A gentle evening breeze stirred the girl's hair, causing Shinobu to squint her eyes and reveal an expression of enjoyment.

“So comfortable~”

Yuko opened her arms wide, letting the evening breeze flow over her body.

Her gaze swept down the cliff: "Do you think jumping down like this would be faster?"

There's no need to worry about going into the mountains to feed mosquitoes anymore.

"You'll be smashed into a meat patty," Shinobu Kocho said quietly. "I don't want to see Yuuko looking like a meat patty."

“That’s true, but…” Yuko said as she walked towards the cliff. Her boots began to turn into flesh and blood and merge into her body as she took a step toward the precipice. “If that’s all it takes, then…”

Yuko floated in mid-air.

For a fleeting moment, Shinobu Kocho even wanted to rush forward and grab Ikuko, fearing that she might actually suffer a freefall like that.

Yuko stood suspended in mid-air. Shinobu looked down at her feet and saw a platform made of blood extending from beneath her feet, connected to the cliff by a thin line of blood.

It hangs in mid-air like a concrete staircase.

The connecting element is just a thin blood vessel, yet it can support a body weighing a hundred pounds.

"Wow, that's amazing!" Shinobu's eyes lit up.

With her back to the moonlight, Yuko extended her right hand to Shinobu Kocho: "Want to try?"

"Hmm." Butterfly's desire to suppress itself became even more apparent. She took two steps forward and, smiling, grabbed Yuko's hand.

With a gentle tug, Yuko pulled Shinobu Butterfly from the cliff into the air.

Beneath their feet, a blood-red platform, large enough for two people to stand on, had been constructed.

"How was it? Great, right?"

"Ah."

Even though it was just taking one step, it felt like something you'd never experience on a cliff.

There's a wonderful, liberating feeling.

"Watch your step," Yuko whispered, releasing Shinobu's hand and walking down into the air.

After falling less than half a meter, the blood lines extending from that blood-red platform quickly formed another platform beneath Yu Zi's feet.

As Yuko descended step by step, blood-red platforms were built beneath her feet, their construction speed no slower than the speed at which she fell.

Watching Yuko walk further and further away, Shinobu Kocho followed with a bit of interest.

For an ordinary person, walking or even placing their feet normally at a height of 100 meters would be extremely difficult.

My legs would probably tremble just standing on it, let alone jumping down like hopscotch.

But for a Demon Slayer Corps swordsman who deals with demons all year round, especially a Pillar.

It couldn't be simpler.

Adjusting her breathing rhythm, under the moonlight, Shinobu's figure seemed to truly transform into a purple butterfly, dancing gracefully in the sky.

The two jumped down the mountain towards the city, one after the other.

Soon, the mountain that would normally take more than ten minutes to climb was covered in just a few minutes, and the two crossed the distance between the foot of the mountain and the city, arriving at the city's outskirts.

Yuko found a secluded corner in a nearby city and extended her Blood Demon Art there.

She didn't want to see a newspaper article the next day saying that someone was flying in the sky.
