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

Chapter 483 Shall we go up the mountain to feed the mosquitoes?

Shinobu's anger came quickly, but it also subsided quickly.

After Yu Zi dutifully bought the ice cream, the gloomy expression on her face disappeared.

However, Yuko didn't dare to provoke her again, even though she didn't know what she had done to offend Shinobu Kocho.

That's why Yuko spoke very hesitantly the whole way, afraid of saying something wrong... or offending Shinobu Kocho.

Shinobu Kocho naturally noticed Ikuko's timid behavior and stood still, looking back at Ikuko, which almost made her burst out laughing: "Am I that scary?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Zi shook her head so hard it was almost blurry.

Shinobu rolled her eyes dramatically; she couldn't even imagine what she had become in Yuko's eyes.

Monster?

Shinobu Kocho turned back and walked towards Ikuko. Ikuko involuntarily took two steps back, but noticing Shinobu's face darkening again, she forcibly stopped herself from retreating.

Shinobu took a deep breath; she felt that her image seemed to have subtly changed in front of Ikuko.

Am I really that bad-tempered?

So she bluntly asked, "Am I really that bad-tempered?"

Yuko instinctively wanted to nod, but looking at Shinobu's gloomy face, which seemed to drip ink, she shook her head rather reluctantly.

Butterfly glared at her, then grabbed Yuko's wrist in an annoyed manner, pulled her into her arms, and dragged her forward.

Shaking his head and such, his face clearly conveyed the exact opposite of what he intended.

Seeing this made her angry... Wait, has her temper really gotten worse?

Pulling Yuko along, Shinobu Kocho couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

It seems...it seems there is a little...just a tiny bit...

The main problem is that the idiots around her are really infuriating, so compared to them, her temper is already considered good.

Shinobu Kocho comforted herself in this way, but the image of her older sister, Kanae, unconsciously surfaced in her mind again.

Even when surrounded by the same people, and even when being teased, Kanae rarely showed anger on her face.

Yeah, my sister's sister is just too kind.

Not advisable.

Ultimately, her personality is quite normal; she knows when to be angry and when to be gentle.

Hmm... thinking about it, she realized that she hadn't been gentle in a long time.

Shinobu's heart shattered slightly, and she involuntarily stopped in her tracks.

"What's wrong?" Yu Zi asked, puzzled.

Shinobu Kocho turned around and gave a rather deliberate smile: "Yuko, do you think I have a terrible personality?"

Yuko was taken aback. "No way, why would you think that?"

Shinobu Kocho was also stunned. Judging from Ikuko's behavior just now, everyone must think the same way, right?

Seeing Shinobu's confusion, Yuko smiled and said, "Wasn't Shinobu angry just now because I didn't take care of myself?"

"How can anger that is well-intentioned and considerate of others be considered a bad character trait?"

Just like when your parents get angry and scold you, in most cases it's because you deserve to be scolded.

Butterfly paused, her ears quickly turning slightly red: "You really know how to talk."

However, she was very happy.

Yuko smiled and took Shinobu's hand in return: "Let's go, the festival has only just begun."

Shinobu's purple eyes reflected Yuuko's face, while her golden eyes shone brightly like lamplight.

To be honest, she loved both of Yuko's faces.

"……Um."

……

While Yuuko and Shinobu Kocho traveled together, the others were also experiencing different kinds of joy.

The summer festival celebrations rarely end until late at night. Several hours later, the number of people on the streets has not decreased but rather increased.

Many people who had just finished their work were just arriving with their families.

The portable shrine that had set off from the shrine was finally repaired at the last minute, and a large group of people followed it, gradually turning it into a long procession.

A massive crowd surged forward, forcing Yuko and Shinobu to retreat to the sides of the street to make way for the palanquin's procession.

"It's really lively here," Yu Zi couldn't help but exclaim.

Shinobu Kocho stood beside Ikuko, her eyes reflecting the glittering lights, and quietly said, "Seeing these things makes me feel that all my perseverance has been worthwhile."

Yuko nodded silently: "Yes, of course it's worth it."

How can you say that the Demon Slayer Corps's generations of relentless battles are not worth it?

"I remember there should be fireworks to watch around midnight after the parade." After the procession of the portable shrine left, Shinobu Kocho rested her chin on her hand and looked at Ikuko. "Ikuko, would you like to see the fireworks?"

Yuko was both amused and exasperated: "Of course I want to see it!"

Who doesn't want to see fireworks?

Shinobu Kocho smiled faintly: "Well, then we'll need to find a suitable viewing spot in advance."

Yuko looked at the buildings on both sides and said, "If we're talking about a suitable location, we should look for a tall building, right?"

Shinobu Kocho shook her head: "I'm a native of this place, so of course I know best where to watch fireworks. As long as I listen to you, Yuuko, there won't be any problems."

Yu Zi subconsciously replied, "But you can't remember any of them clearly, can you?"

"Stare~" Butterfly Shinobu's gaze swept over them with a sinister look.

“Okay, I’ll do as you say.” Yu Zi raised both hands and gave a French military salute.

Shinobu Kocho didn't hold it against Ikuko and smiled, saying, "Ikuko, do you still remember the route Muichiro took when he came here?"

“What over there…” Yuko paused, then realized what she meant, “You mean the place where Muichiro cut down trees?”

She was new to the city and not very familiar with the surrounding area, but after Shinobu Kocho said that, she could guess what was going on.

Shinobu Kocho snapped her fingers: "So clever~"

Yu Zi nodded with satisfaction: "Praise me a little more."

Shinobu rolled her eyes and denied Yuuko's shamelessness: "I wasn't praising you, I was just saying it casually."

Then he pointed to the distance and said, "The place where Muichiro cut down the tree should be that small hill outside the city. That place hasn't changed in more than ten years."

Looking in the direction Shinobu Kocho was pointing, one could vaguely see a dark mountain peak in the distance under the night sky.

"That's a fantastic vantage point, we need to hurry or someone else will beat us to it."

Because of a mishap with the palanquin, by the time it was repaired, the time had already exceeded the original plan, and there was less than half an hour left until midnight.

Yu Zi estimated the distance to the hill and her lips twitched slightly: "You want me to climb a mountain so late at night just to watch fireworks?"

She had to admit that sometimes, fireworks weren't that appealing to her.

As for Shinobu's claim that she arrived late and was overtaken, Ikuko finds it hard to imagine any idiot would choose to go to the mountains in the middle of the night to feed mosquitoes just to watch fireworks.

Butterfly tilted her head, looked at me pitifully, and pursed her lips: "Aren't you going?"

"I'd like to see something like that."
