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

Chapter 745 Extinct Races

Rukia nervously twisted her fingers: "Although the teacher is sometimes a bit... well, often complaining about trouble, but... the teacher is very good to me, to Ichigo, and to everyone."

Ichigo, with his eyes slanted upwards, waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, you should at least finish saying the part after 'comparison'."

Yu Zi slapped him on the head and glanced at him coldly: "Do you have a problem with me?"

Ichigo's lips twitched slightly. Who would dare to object to this?

Dare?

“I’m not some unreasonable devil,” Yu Zi shrugged. “I understand the principle of focusing on the issue, not the person.”

"To be honest, the experience of the Buffet family was within my expectations."

"So I didn't actually have much of a reaction."

"They just guessed wrong about the origins of the Bount clan." Yuko originally thought the Bounts were similar to the Quincy, "Anyway, there's no difference, they're both clans that were slaughtered by the Grim Reapers."

"...No, if that's the case, then Death should just die."

Ichigo couldn't help but mutter to himself again, "Is this what women are like?"

“Yes, that’s what women are like.” Yu Zi looked at him dangerously. “If you dare to say anything more, you’re going to get beaten up by a woman like that later.”

Ichigo: "..."

Rukia smiled slightly: "Although the teacher always says some harsh things, he has never truly stood idly by. Even though he hates Soul Society, he still saves troublesome Shinigami like me, doesn't he?"

Yuko chuckled and waved her hand dismissively: "That's because saving you doesn't take much effort, otherwise I would have kicked you back to Soul Society on the spot."

That's really not being frank.

"Alright, since you're not dead, then hurry up and get out of here." Yu Zi stood up, her crimson eyes scanning the view outside the window. "It's only three in the morning, there's still some time before dawn."

"Go home early, or your mom will find you dead in your room first thing in the morning, or it'll be a real problem."

Ichigo nearly collapsed: "Don't make it sound so scary."

Yu Zi squinted and said, "What's the difference between your body and a corpse if you don't have a soul?"

"Your parents will definitely think you died suddenly and will rush to the crematorium to be melted down. At that time, you will be the real Grim Reaper."

"No way!"

Ichigo muttered a complaint, rubbing his slightly sore shoulders as he stood up. "Okay, I'll go back now."

Ichigo walked to the French windows on the balcony, then suddenly turned around and asked, "By the way, Auntie, do you have any way to help me control that guy inside me?"

"Which guy?"

"It's that mask..."

"Yes, and it's very simple. Just beat him, won't you?"

"……excuse me."

Ichigo is too lazy to even comment anymore. If he could beat you, would he need to ask you?

After Ichigo left, Rukia stroked her chin and continued her analysis: "There are four people left in the Bount. Apart from the leader, Kariya, the others are all below the captain level."

"If we could have two or three more vice-captains, this operation would proceed smoothly."

In the present world, there are already Renji and Ichigo, and Ichigo's Bankai power is enough to fight against Kariyagami, and even after using that Hollowfication ability, he can suppress Kariyagami.

Unfortunately, Ichigo couldn't control himself in that form, so it doesn't count.

Yu Zi smiled slightly: "That's great, we can finally wipe out the Bounts."

Rukia broke out in a cold sweat and was about to speak when Yuko noticed her slip of the tongue first. She looked at Yoshino somewhat embarrassedly and moved her lips.

"Um, I'm sorry..."

This joke has gone a bit too far.

Fangye gently shook her head: "Didn't we talk about this from the beginning?"

"As a condition for your help."

“If the Bavents can’t turn back, then…”

She had lost the courage to continue speaking at this point.

Are the Buffetts finally destined to disappear into the annals of history?

To be honest, besides a touch of sadness, Fangye also felt a sense of relief at finally being free.

Yu Zi was silent for a moment: "Take a rest. You guys have been through a lot tonight too."

"I will make breakfast."

She didn't continue arguing with Yoshino, because even if it hurt Yoshino, she couldn't take back what she had said.

The Bounts... are indeed a twisted race.

If someone harms others simply because they are being oppressed, then they are essentially no different from those who oppressed them.

If consuming the souls of the dead can be seen as an unavoidable part of the Bounts' existence, then consuming the souls of the living is tantamount to murder.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

Yuko prepared sandwiches in the morning and intentionally gave Yoshino some instructions, telling her not to act rashly and that she would notify her immediately if there was any movement from Soul Society. She also left a drop of her own blood on Yoshino, worried that she might do something stupid.

As for what it is, it's like a common trope in many action-packed manga.

He could have waited for his comrades to launch a full-scale attack on the enemy, but instead he chose to go and get himself killed, and then he even put on a brave face as if he had died a heroic death.

With sandwiches in hand—no, with Rukia in hand—they met Ichigo, who was also heading out, at the entrance. After handing him his breakfast, the three of them went to school together.

There's no way around it; even if the sky falls, I have to think about going to work or school first.

Upon entering the classroom office, Yuko made herself a cup of coffee at the water dispenser. Just as she sat down, she began to organize her plans for the day.

She went to bed too late last night and didn't have time to organize her course materials.

"Good morning, Yuuko." Ochi Miyu hurried in and put her shoulder bag on the chair. "I heard there was quite a commotion at the park last night, Yuuko, did you hear it?"

No, no.

Yuko understood immediately; it was highly likely that Yoruichi had cleaned up the mess...

"Huh? It wasn't that loud?" Miyu asked in surprise, mimicking the sound of an explosion, "Boom!"

After Ichigo and Kariya started their conflict, she used her powers to cover the park, making it impossible for anyone outside to hear what was happening.

However, they couldn't explain why the park appeared to have been bombed, so they used props to alter people's memories.

Yu Zi smiled helplessly: "Even if you say that, I really didn't hear it."

With a smile, Miyu teased, "Could it be that Yuko slept like a log last night, which is why she didn't hear you?"

"Probably, so what exactly happened?"

"Is it a gas pipeline explosion?" Miyu asked uncertainly. "I heard even the police have been called in."

Fortunately, there were no casualties.

"Really? That's certainly lucky."

When in doubt, just turn to the gas pipeline.

So, as expected, those bastards had already mastered the ability to arbitrarily alter other people's memories long ago!

Yu Zi let out a long breath. The anger in her heart had been building up for a long time, and she really needed to release it sometime, otherwise she would suffocate herself.

So……

How are those bavents doing?

Despite their setback last night, the Barvents don't seem to have completely given up. At least, they don't seem to have any intention of leaving Karakura Town.

However, given Yuko's performance last night, it's likely that dissenting voices will soon emerge within the team.

And indeed, that's exactly what Yuko thought.

Inside a Western-style mansion on the outskirts of Karakura Town.

A group of people sat down around the table, the atmosphere filled with silence and deathly stillness.

Two more people were killed, and they still hadn't obtained the Quincy.

After a brief silence, Koga finally spoke: "Give up."

"What did you say?" Kariya clenched his fists and looked at him with a dangerous expression.

"I said, give up." Koga raised his head and met his gaze calmly.

Kariya's expression turned somewhat grim. He had anticipated this outcome, but he hadn't expected that Koga would be the first to refute him.

“You should know this very well,” Koga said calmly. “With that woman around, we have no chance of taking that Quincy away from under her nose and successfully entering Soul Society.”

Upon hearing this, neither Ushiki nor Sawatari, nor even Ichinose Masaki, had any excuse to refute it, and could only turn their gaze to Kariya.

Want to give up?

If you give up, start over.

But such a good opportunity will not come again, Quincy are not something that can be found so easily.

Kariya-gami crossed his fingers and fell into a deep silence.

He could accept Yoshino if it were Yoshino, because Yoshino's ability was simply to make it faster and easier for them to absorb the souls of living people. But without Quincy, they couldn't enter Soul Society.

After a moment, Ichinose Masaki said, "Mr. Kariya, let's think of another way."

Kariya looked at him calmly: "Are you that afraid of that woman?"

"..." Ichinose Maki took a deep breath and nodded seriously, "Yes, that woman, without a doubt, is a monster."

"Back in Soul Society, although she was only a third seat, she possessed strength comparable to several captains, or even the Captain-Commander."

"The Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13, along with several captains, could only drive her into the human world; they were unable to eliminate her."

"With your current strength, Mr. Kariya, you probably don't even have a 10% chance of winning against her."

The god of hunting did not say anything about boosting the morale of others while diminishing his own.

He was well aware of Ichinose's respect for him.

If even Ichinose said that, then he really doesn't have the ability to fight that woman right now.

He himself was very clear about that principle.

He was not an arrogant person; his attack on Soul Society was a well-thought-out plan.

First, their current strength is not yet at its peak.

The spiritual particles active in Soul Society can make them stronger.

Second, within the Twelfth Division's Research and Development Bureau, there exists an emblem—an emblem powerful enough to destroy the Soul Society.

Chapter on Purification.

If we obtain that badge, even the Gotei 13 might not be without a chance of victory.

Moreover, he doesn't...

"Since you can't make a decision, why don't you listen to my opinion?"

A cold female voice suddenly rang out, sending a chill down Kariya's spine. He quickly looked in the direction of the voice.

This sight sent a chill straight to the top of his head.

Right next to him, sitting in the second chair at the long table.

Yu Zi looked at her calmly, his crimson eyes reflecting his astonished expression.

The group of Bounts and Ichinose reacted instantly. With a sound of chairs sliding, apart from Koga, Sawatari, and Kariya, Ugaki and Ichinose stood up and looked at Ikuko with nervous expressions.

Ichinose Masaki broke out in a cold sweat, his palm already resting on the hilt of his Zanpakuto: "Are you here to kill us?"

Kariya's gaze swept over Yuko, and he said to the two of them, "Sit down."

"As expected of a leader, he's definitely more composed than his subordinates," Yu Zi said dismissively.

After a moment of silence, Kariya said, "I don't think your sudden appearance here was just to scare us."

"Maybe that's it?"

……

You must have a lot of free time.

“I’m here to help you make a choice.” Yuko didn’t tease them intentionally and said directly, “The Soul Society has already noticed your presence, and reinforcements will probably arrive today, or maybe they’ve already arrived.”

"What are you trying to say?" Kariya was a little confused by Ikuko's meaning. "Do you want us to leave quickly?"

Otherwise, why bother reminding them?

“You’ve misunderstood. I want you to fight them,” Yu Zi said calmly. “What we can confirm right now is that there won’t be any captain-level figures among the reinforcements.”

"Because a terrible incident of captain betrayal recently occurred in Seireitei, including Gin Ichimaru of the Third Division, Sosuke Aizen of the Fifth Division, and Kaname Tōsen, the captain of the Ninth Division."

Ichinose Masaki, who had just plopped down, suddenly stood up: "You mean Tosen... wants to?!"

"Hmm? You used to be one of his subordinates?"

"No... but I have great respect for that person..."

"Is that so? Then you've probably trusted the wrong person. If the Gotei 13 are trash, then Kaname Tosen is no different from them."

"In short, because of this betrayal, the captains are basically always busy."

"The highest combat strength that can be sent to the mortal world is only at the vice-captain level."

Kariya understood what she meant: "You want us to fight them? Why?"

“Because I understand your desire for revenge.” Yuko smiled at him, “so I’m going to give you a chance.”

"If you can defeat them, I will provide you with a way to enter the Soul Society."

Would you believe me if I said that?

Kariya's pupils constricted sharply: "What did you say?"

He couldn't understand the meaning behind Yuko's actions at all.

"But there is one condition: your battle must not affect ordinary people."

"If you can agree to that, I won't get involved this time. You can do whatever you want with it."

Kariya looked at Ikuko seriously; this woman was serious.

Being unable to absorb the souls of living people has a significant impact on combat power, to be honest.

However, if one can enter Soul Society and obtain the Purification Chapter, then the influence of that power will be negligible.
