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

Chapter 473 Grand Event 5 Yen

"Then why are you sighing and complaining?" Yu Zi couldn't help but laugh. "It's just a small matter."

Butterfly sighed and crossed her arms in frustration.

"Alright, alright, I see there's another goldfish catching stall up ahead, let's go check it out." Yuko's eyes fell on the stall ahead, and after comforting Shinobu, she pushed her forward.

She genuinely didn't feel there was anything to lament; it was just that she had encountered a swindler boss.

There were no worldly desires.

And isn't this already retaliation?

The children each had a doll in their hands, which meant they had already made back all the money they had given out, and the shop owner had even lost money.

"Let's go, let's go." Yuko pushed Shinobu Kocho toward the goldfish scooping stall. There was one at the entrance of the street, but they were too busy chatting with other people to go and play. Only the children and Kanao went to play, and it seemed that they all failed.

Yuko hadn't forgotten that Shinobu Kocho was quite fond of this thing; her goldfish named Fugu was still alive and well in the fish tank in her room.

While shoving Shinobu Kocho, Yuko muttered to herself, "I've done this once before. The key is... technique!"

I don't remember how many years ago it was, but I happened to enter the city by chance and came across a temple fair. By chance, I was invited by the shop owner to play twice, and ended up losing all the spare change I had.

As darkness fell, the number of people at the temple fair increased, becoming a sea of ​​people.

Yuko and Shinobu squeezed their way toward the goldfish scooping stall.

"Hahaha! Leave this to me!"

Before they even arrived, the two heard a cheerful shout.

"This voice is..." The two exchanged a glance with Xuanmi, who had followed behind, and already knew the answer in their hearts.

"Excuse me, excuse me, thank you." Pushing through the crowd, people could see from afar the fiery red hair fluttering in the air.

Upon arriving at the goldfish scooping stall, the group's attention was immediately drawn to the figure squatting in front of the basin of water.

Kyojuro Rengoku was squatting in front of a basin of water, holding a small paper net in his hand, his eyes intently watching the goldfish in the basin.

Beside him was his younger brother, who had the same hair color as him.

If I remember correctly, Yuko's name should be—Senjurou?

Yuko hadn't paid much attention to the Rengoku family. Tanjiro had visited them after the Mugen Train battle, and I heard he even punched their father. I wonder how he managed to get back alive from the Rengoku family.

"Go for it, brother!" Senjuro cheered on his older brother.

"Oh! Just watch my performance!" Kyojuro laughed heartily, his gaze sharpening as he quickly twisted his wrist holding the paper net, sending it swiftly across the basin of water at a speed that neither the shopkeeper nor the passersby could see.

"Wow, that's fast!" The boss stared in disbelief.

Who is this guy?

The way he scooped up the goldfish was so fast that even he, an expert, couldn't see it clearly.

Kyojuro laughed heartily and said modestly, "You flatter me."

"Uh, I mean, the event costs fifty yen." The shopkeeper pointed to the paper net in his hand and gave an awkward smile.

"Huh? When?" Kyojuro noticed that the paper net had somehow torn. "How could my skills be like this..."

He was clearly quite shocked and completely unable to understand why he had made a mistake.

Senjuro encouraged him again, "It's alright, brother! Let's try again!"

"Oh!" Kyojuro rolled up his sleeves, revealing his strong muscles, which made the shopkeeper tremble with fear, worried that he might not be able to handle the situation and would smash up the stall.

"Watch me take it down this time!" Kyojuro once again moved with lightning speed, and all that could be seen was a blur.

The boss coldly held out his hand: "Fifty yen for the grand event."

"..."

"One more time!" Kyojuro waved his hand.

"The grand event costs fifty yen."

"..."

"This isn't something you can get by being fast." Yu Zi's eye twitched. She was undoubtedly an idiot too. It was all due to improper operation. Although she was fast, she had no skill whatsoever. She just slapped the paper directly onto the water's surface, and it was instantly shattered.

Those who know the situation understand they're trying to scoop up goldfish, but those who don't might think they're trying to kill them with a paper net.

Hearing the familiar voice, Kyojuro turned around and his face lit up with joy: "Oh! Miss Ikuko! You've come too!"

Senjuro also turned around and bowed slightly to Ikuko.

Although he wasn't very familiar with Yu Zi, he had seen her once from afar and knew her identity, so he held goodwill towards her.

“This child is completely different from Kyojuro.” Yuko stared at Senjuro, who was quite polite and elegant in every gesture, and was a little stunned.

Since the Warring States period, the members of the Purgatory Clan have been known for their enthusiasm and cheerfulness. To put it more casually, they are generally easygoing and carefree, and this child is an exception.

"Miss Shinobu, and Genya too." Kyojuro greeted everyone one by one. "Oh, isn't this Tanjiro?"

"You seem to have gotten shorter after a month?" Kyojuro laughed and patted Takeo on the shoulder.

"Sigh~"

Pillar's strength was not weak; this casual slap brought a mask of pain to Takeo's face.

Senjuro was quite different from his carefree older brother. He recognized at a glance that the person in front of him was not Tanjiro, and he also saw pain on Takeo's face. He quickly stepped forward and pulled his older brother away.

“Brother, this isn’t Tanjiro, he must be one of Tanjiro’s family members, right?” Senjuro felt deep sympathy for Takeo’s pain, because he was often the one being slapped like this by his older brother.

Lacking any talent in swordsmanship, he was also completely physically inept.

Kyojuro paused for a moment, looked at Takeo seriously, and examined him carefully: "Hmm~ Now that you mention it, he is indeed much shorter."

Takeo grinned, easing the pain from Kyojuro's slap, and introduced himself: "Takeo, my name is Kamado Takeo, and I am Tanjiro's younger brother."

"Oh! Hello, hello, my name is Kyojuro, Rengoku Kyojuro, I'm Tanjiro's friend." Kyojuro showed no signs of being a stranger, and after exchanging names, he warmly struck up a conversation with Tanjiro.

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Zhu Xiong's forehead. Why did he always feel that the people his brother knew were so strange?

It's been like this ever since Zenitsu and Inosuke, and now with the people I've met, not a single one of them feels like a normal person.

Is it his imagination?

Yuko's gaze fell on the goldfish in the basin: "Kyojuro, let me teach you how to catch them."

"Oh? Miss Yuko is very confident about this?"

"Ah, I am a very famous goldfish scooping master."

"Wow, that's amazing! I must see it for myself!"
