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

Chapter 219 Is this ability important?

While Ikuko was discussing the next steps with Ubuyashiki, Shinobu Kocho arrived at Tamayo's laboratory.

Tuk-tuk-tuk~

"Lord Tamayo, Miss Butterfly has arrived." Yushiro's voice rang out from outside the door.

"Ah, please come in."

Yushiro opened the door, and the smell of disinfectant wafted out. Shinobu Kocho smiled.

"Excuse me, Ms. Tamayo."

"Miss Shinobu, please have a seat." Tamayo, wearing a white lab coat, took off her gloves and poured Shinobu a cup of tea.

"Thank you." Shinobu Kocho took a syringe out of her pocket. "This contains Upper Moon Five's blood."

A hint of surprise flickered in Tamayo's usually calm eyes: "Did Shinobu encounter Upper Moon Five?"

Shinobu Kocho smiled faintly, "I don't have that kind of ability."

She has a pretty good understanding of herself. Dealing with the Lower Moon doesn't pose much of a problem, but when it comes to the Upper Moon, even with her Mark activated, it's hard to say whether she can put up a fight against her.

"Miss Shinobu is too modest." Tamayo thought the girl was good in every way, except that she was a little too insecure.

The butterfly chuckled but didn't reply.

Tamayo took the syringe from her hand, her purple eyes seeming to sparkle with starlight: "So, there are only three Upper Moon demon moons left?"

Shinobu Kocho nodded: "Mm."

Tamayo didn't know much about the struggle between the Demon Slayer Corps and Muzan over the years, but she did know what kind of monsters the Upper Rank Demon Moons of the Twelve Demon Moons were.

Just as Yuko said.

Change has already occurred.

Everything changed after Ikuko met Tanjiro, the strange child who inherited the Breath of the Sun.

In a short period of time, half of the Upper Moon demons possessed by Muzan had already been killed.

Tamayo's time with the Demon Slayer Corps was not bad, but it was more comfortable than ever before.

In the past, when they needed to find certain medicinal herbs, Yushiro would have to go out at night to purchase them. If they encountered some rare herbs, he would have to go out at night to find them himself.

With the Demon Slayer Corps around, they can provide whatever you need.

To be honest, Tamayo never expected to receive such treatment.

Although Yuko had repeatedly praised Kagaya Ubuyashiki's personal charm when she invited her, she was prepared to bear the pressure after accepting Yuko's invitation, given their status.

As a result, she felt that Yuko hadn't praised her enough.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki didn't miss a single detail of etiquette and even took the initiative to arrange everything for them. He even gave orders for the blood of the Twelve Demon Moons that they needed.

So far, she has collected the blood of three Upper Moon demons and several Lower Moon demons.

If I had to pinpoint anything bad that happened during that time, it would probably be that Yushiro had a minor conflict with a kid who had a scar on his face and looked like he was not someone to mess with.

The child seemed to have just fought the Twelve Demon Moons; his wounds hadn't healed yet, and he smelled very sweet.

He is a rare child with rare blood.

However, his conflict with Yushiro was just a minor disagreement, not a real clash.

Yushiro has really changed a lot during this period, and he no longer looks annoyed with others as he did before.

I don't know what Yuko said to Yushiro.

The fierce-looking child came with the blood of a Lower Moon demon. It turned out that Yushiro was dissatisfied with the child's attitude, which led to a small conflict between them.

For Tamayo, none of that mattered.

Tamayo put on gloves, extracted the blood, preserved it, and placed a small amount on the microscope. Without paying attention to Shinobu, she began to observe it.

She and Shinobu Kocho were already quite familiar with each other, and Tamayo didn't mind her being around.

Moreover, compared to the idea of ​​her staying put, Shinobu Kocho actually provided her with considerable help.

They can often keep up with her train of thought and do the assistant's work before she even has a chance to speak.

Although it's a bit unfair to say this, this child is indeed more talented in the field of medicine.

Simply put, Yushiro is like a handyman. Although they have known each other for hundreds of years, Yushiro knows how to help without her having to say anything.

But Shinobu Kocho can follow her train of thought and understand what she wants to do, and is often more useful than Yushiro.

The research, ostensibly on the blood of the Twelve Demon Moons, was actually on Muzan's cells.

Because the blood of the Twelve Demon Moons contains more of Muzan's blood, basically the higher the rank of the demon, the higher the content of Muzan's cells in its body.

……

Seeing that Tamayo's research had come to an end, Kocho couldn't help but speak up: "Um... Miss Tamayo..."

Tamayo turned her head in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Shinobu coughed lightly and asked hesitantly, "I want to know, can demons change size like Nezuko?"

Tamayo paused for a moment, not understanding what she meant by asking that, but after thinking for a moment, she honestly replied:

"When an ordinary demon is fully transformed into a demon, its body may undergo some changes, but the main changes are strengthening and increasing its size."

"If you mean being able to change size at will like Nezuko, then naturally not all demons can do that."

Shinobu Kocho asked, "Can Tamayo-san do that?"

Yushiro, who had been standing quietly to the side, changed his expression repeatedly, and then he actually said such rude things to Lady Tamayo.

Just as Yushiro was about to speak, the image of Lady Tamayo's shrunken body involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

……

Oh no, this is too cute, I think I'm about to have a nosebleed.

Yushiro, unusually, did not reprimand others for their rudeness, but instead pricked up his ears.

Hmm... curious...

I want to see...

A strange expression flickered across Tamayo's otherwise calm demeanor, and she replied somewhat awkwardly, "No... I can't do it."

The child seemed to want to say something but hesitated. What was he trying to ask her?

Shinobu's youthful face flushed pink: "Then, can Ikuko do it?"

Ah, so you wanted to ask about Yuko?

Zhu Shi suddenly realized.

but……

Is the ability to grow larger or smaller something worth paying attention to?

Tamayo couldn't quite understand it for a moment.

"Well... I've never seen her change her body shape."

Looking back now, she realizes that she and Yuko spent a very long time together.

A period of mutual support.

At that time, she had to go out and find animal and human corpses to eat, and faced arrest by both the Demon Slayer Corps and demons. She could not be said to be rich, but she could only be described as wandering around.

When she first met Yuko, she thought she was going to be killed.

After meeting Yuko, they gradually established themselves in the town by relying on Yuko's ability to go out during the day and the money they had saved from robbing the rich to help the poor.

If we're talking about changes in physique, when Yuko turned into a demon, she only grew two 20-centimeter horns on her head, making her look taller, but she was actually still 1.7 meters tall.

Although this height is already quite impressive.

They were the undisputed leaders in their women's group.

"...Is that not possible?" A hint of regret flashed in Shinobu's eyes.

"It really didn't work out." Yushiro sighed inwardly.

Seeing her reaction, Tamayo couldn't help but ask, "Is this ability very important?"

"Does Miss Shinobu have something on her mind?"

Based on her understanding of Shinobu Kocho, she figured the other party might have some good idea.
