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

Chapter 275 There's Absolutely No Way to Refuse

Hei Mingyu Xingming left carrying the suitcase, his enormous size making it look like he was carrying a small box.

Shinobu Kocho watched him leave, tilted her head, and asked with some confusion, "Why would Mr. Himejima resist restoring his sight?"

Yu Zi smiled and turned her head: "We probably told him this suddenly because we weren't mentally prepared."

“And…” Yuko hesitated for a moment before continuing, “His eyes don’t look like they lost their sight due to external injuries. Perhaps he felt that my blood couldn’t restore his sight, and he didn’t want our kindness to be wasted.”

Shinobu Kocho nodded in agreement: "Yes, Mr. Himejima is a person who was born blind."

Yuko was about to nod in agreement, wondering if her congenital eye condition could be cured with her blood, when she heard Shinobu Kocho say:

"But if we use Yuko's blood, we can just gouge out his eyes and wait for them to grow back, right?"

Yuko shuddered: "Don't say such cruel things with such an innocent expression!"

Shinobu Kocho looked puzzled: "Isn't that cruel? Giving him anesthesia doesn't mean you have to torture him."

“…That’s the logic.” Yu Zi rolled her eyes, unable to explain what she meant.

Shinobu got up and stretched: "Yuko, would you like to take another look?"

“No, forget it.” Yuko glanced at the group of burly men exuding youthful energy and shook her head slightly. “Go back and find Tanjiro and the others, and see if they can persuade that old man.”

What's so interesting about a bunch of grown men?

"That's what I think too." Butterfly nodded with a smile.

It feels so good to be able to do things with Yuko.

Zhu and the team members will need some more time for special training, and they can still be together.

It's a pity, though, that the final battle is probably not far off.

If only it could have been earlier...

Although there is still no news about Muzan Kibutsuji, it is only a matter of time before a demon king who controls such a city in another dimension finds them.

And this period of time will not be too long.

Butterfly Shinobu estimated that it would take no more than a month.

The Demon Slayer Corps' base has been discovered by Muzan Kitsuji before. With the current large-scale training, the screams of the swordsmen can be heard from the neighboring hilltops every day.

The time frame for finding him was estimated to be one month, which is already the absolute limit of Shinobu Kocho's psychological estimation.

It could be a week from now, or it could be tomorrow, or even tonight.

The two said goodbye to Himejima Gyomei, Kyojuro, and Tomioka Giyu, and left this torturous hell on earth.

Incidentally, when they said goodbye, Kyojuro pulled them aside for a long chat, and by the time they returned to Shinazugawa Sanemi's mansion, it was already evening.

"I'm starving." Shinobu sat at the table, her head resting on it, looking dejected and exhausted.

Yuko tilted her head to the side, rested her hand on her face, and leisurely tapped the tuft of hair on Shinobu's head that had sticked up slightly from climbing mountains and wading through rivers.

It's fun.

"Didn't you go to Mr. Himejima's place?" Kanae Kocho brought her a bowl of tea and asked curiously, "Were you taken there for training?"

Butterfly took a sip of tea and felt herself come back to life, regaining some energy. She complained bitterly, "I was about to leave, but Mr. Purgatory kept me talking for two hours."

"Ikuko-nee." Nezuko brought Ikuko some tea.

"Thank you," Yu Zi replied with a slight smile.

"Why not just refuse?" Kanae replied subconsciously, then thought of Kyojuro's personality and sweated, "As for Kyojuro, I do feel a little embarrassed to refuse him."

Tanjiro broke out in a cold sweat.

Mr. Purgatory's kind-hearted nature does indeed make people feel like they've committed a crime if they refuse him.

Because Shinobu Kocho sat up, and Ikuko, who no longer had her toys, raised an eyebrow and looked at Sanemi Shinazugawa, who was staring at her intently from across the room.

“I said, if you have any complaints about me, just say so.”

"Don't bottling yourself up."

The veins on Shinazugawa Sanemi's cheeks bulged instantly, and he looked annoyed with her. But then, as if he had thought of something, a smile appeared on his angry face.

"No, I have absolutely no objection."

It was supposed to be a smile, but the expression on his face was completely distorted; it was the kind of expression that would definitely keep a child awake at night.

It can be described in a single word.

ugly.

Yu Zi sighed, "It's kind of scary."

The veins on Shinazugawa Sanemi's face twitched, but he managed to hold back.

Now it was Yuko's turn to look at him with new respect.

Since he was so sensible, Yuko didn't continue teasing him... no, she didn't go looking for trouble by getting close to him.

Shinazugawa Genya was visibly embarrassed, cold sweat pouring down his face. Seeing that the two had finally calmed down, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He had heard that his older brother and Miss Yuko didn't seem to have a good relationship, but he didn't expect it to be this bad.

And there's no denying that the eldest brother is no match for Miss Yuko.

He was at a loss for what to do.

Fortunately, Ms. Kanae persuaded the older brother to stay calm, preventing the situation from escalating further.

Yuko glanced around but didn't see Zenitsu: "Where's Zenitsu? That guy should be pretty enthusiastic about eating, right?"

Inosuke, ignoring the confrontation between Ikuko and Shinazugawa Sanemi, continued eating by himself.

His posture certainly lived up to the hood on his head; he ate at a speed comparable to the pigs in the pigpen.

Tanjiro's eyes dimmed slightly upon hearing Zenitsu's name.

"Zenitsu has locked himself in his room."

Nezuko's expression darkened upon hearing this, and her eyes dimmed.

Zenitsu has also quickly passed Obanai Iguro's training and arrived here.

That's why Tanjiro and Nezuko are here.

It was said to be a rather brutal battle. The swordsmen who graduated from Obanai Iguro and came here looked much uglier when they mentioned the treatment Zenitsu received.

He wondered if he could have survived against the Serpent Pillar, Lord Iguro, if he were in that situation.

Kanae and other discerning people could immediately tell what was going on.

It must have been during training with Mitsuri that he precisely stepped on Mr. Iguro's landmine.

Zenitsu's strength was so great that he almost destroyed his Demon Slayer Mark, and he couldn't wait to speedrun through Obanai Iguro's territory in just one day.

It left behind a well-known legend.

but……

If Tanjiro's news had been even slightly better, he would probably have preferred to be tortured even more by Obanai Iguro.

Yu Zi's eyes darkened, and she sighed, "So, that old gentleman is still...?"
