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

Chapter 552 Broken Bee

With Yuuko's permission, Soi Fon subtly took two steps back.

"You're trying to trick me into making a move."

Yu Zi nearly collapsed to the ground, weakly protesting, "I...I didn't."

Soi Fon asked warily, "Then why don't you plan to draw your Zanpakuto until now?"

Yuko couldn't help but complain, "Isn't that because I didn't mean any harm?"

"Stop lying! You just want my goodwill so I'll take you to Lord Yoruichi!"

"...You're right in a way, but you're really mistaken! I do know Yoruichi, and I've been staying at her house for two weeks."

Soi Fon's eyes flashed with envy, but she shook her head firmly and said, "Stop lying! How could you not know the way to Yoruichi's house?"

Yuko opened her mouth, but found herself unable to explain herself clearly.

She spread her hands: "Then you suggest what to do."

"I asked you to take me to see Yoruichi, but you wouldn't."

"You wouldn't dare to poke me twice even if I allowed it."

"Then why don't you take me back to the entrance of the Second Division, and I'll ask someone else?"

Soi Fon, like a kitten whose tail had been stepped on, immediately bristled: "Who said I wouldn't dare!"

"I will not let any of those who dare to offend Lord Yoruichi get away with it."

Yuko couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so nice that even a silly woman like Yoruichi has such a loyal fan."

"You bastard!" Soi Fon, unable to contain herself any longer, charged forward without caring whether Ikuko had any other tricks up her sleeve.

Yuko stood still with her arms outstretched.

A hint of hesitation flashed in Soi Fon's eyes, but the finger wearing the 'Suzumebachi' pendant still poked directly into Ikuko's stomach.

With a single, devastating blow, Soi Fon retreated at lightning speed.

"Hmm?" Yuko looked at her with some confusion. "Isn't there one more time?"

"And then again, why don't I feel any pain? I shouldn't have completely blocked my pain receptors."

As Yuko said this, she subconsciously looked down and saw a black pattern, like a butterfly, suddenly appear on her abdomen.

"what is this?"

Soi Fon explained calmly, "That's Bee Pattern Flower, my Zanpakuto ability. If I stab that spot again, you will die from my Zanpakuto's two-hit kill ability."

Yuko was surprised: "That amazing?"

Soi Fon said expressionlessly, "If you're scared, then just surrender."

"If I surrender, will you take me to Yoruichi?"

Soi Fon's eyelid twitched. "Aren't you afraid of dying?"

"I wouldn't say I'm not afraid, but I really don't feel anything."

That means they're not afraid, right?!

Or does this woman think that even if she gets hit once, she's confident she can dodge a second attack?

"You said you wanted to see Lord Yoruichi, right?"

Yu Zi was on the verge of tears: "You finally understand. I've missed you so much."

She was almost driven to tears by this little girl.

"To be honest, I don't think you can hurt Yoruichi either."

"Whatever you say goes." Yu Zi nodded, her expression slightly numb.

“Actually, on the way I brought you here, I already sent Hell Butterfly to inform Yoruichi.” Soi Fon looked at Yuuko seriously. “So? If you want to escape, now is your last chance.”

"You were just saying that someone who offended Yoruichi was unforgivable, and now you're letting me go?" Yuko narrowed her eyes and retorted with the same words Soi Fon had used against her earlier, "You're not afraid of me, are you?"

Soi Fon's temple throbbed. She had been thinking there was a slight possibility that this woman was indeed Yoruichi's friend, which was why she was so fearless and hadn't stabbed him a second time.

As expected, how could someone like that be Yoruichi's friend!

"Xinei!"

Soi Fon was enraged and stabbed at it.

"Wait, Soi Fon!"

Suddenly, a soft shout came from afar, awakening Soi Fon's reason.

Without a doubt, it was Yoruichi's voice.

But by the time Soi Fon tried to stop, it was too late, and a look of panic appeared on her face.

Yu Zi pursed her lips helplessly. She had originally wanted to try this two-hit kill move, but it wouldn't be good to scare the child.

She effortlessly increased her speed, dodging the attack that Soi Fon thought was impossible to dodge, and easily caught Soi Fon around her waist.

"Yo, Yoruichi, you've finally arrived." Yuko smiled and waved towards the distance. "Sorry, sorry, I got lost."

Soi Fon looked up at Yoruichi with a blank expression, completely unaware of how she had been picked up.

"Lord Yoruichi."

Yoruichi, her face ashen, walked straight toward the two of them.

Soi Fon's face paled for a moment. She had attacked Yoruichi's friend; this was absolutely unforgivable...

"You bastard! I've told you eight hundred times! You better remember the way home!" Yoruichi grabbed Yuuko by the collar and shook her violently.

Yu Zi waved her hand, "Alright, alright, the brain needs to be shaken well."

Yoruichi pushed her away impatiently. "What's going on?"

Before Yuuko could speak, Soi Fon knelt down first, bowing her head respectfully to Yoruichi, saying, "I am so sorry, Lord Yoruichi, I mistook this young lady for..."

Before she could finish speaking, she felt a tightness under her armpits as someone lifted her up with both hands.

Yuko picked her up and gently placed her on the ground: "Tsk tsk tsk, Yoruichi, you actually made a little kid kneel down, I really despise you."

Yoruichi's temple throbbed: "Soi Fon."

"Yes." Soi Fon knelt down.

"No, that's not what I meant... Never mind." Yoru pointed at Yuuko expressionlessly, "Kill this guy."

"Yes, Yoruichi-sama!" Soi Fon nimbly stood up and stabbed at Ikuko's abdomen.

Yuko restrained the child with one hand, trapping her under her armpit: "Ah, this child really likes you."

"He was giving me a really fierce look just now."

Soi Fon's struggling movements froze for a moment, and a suspicious blush appeared on her face.

I like Yoruichi and stuff...

Yuko shook her head: "I really can't see what's so charming about you."

Soi Fon was furious: "How could someone like you possibly appreciate Yoruichi's charm?"

Yuko smiled and ruffled Soi Fon's hair: "I've suddenly started to like this kid a little."

Yoruichi narrowed her eyes, snatched Soi Fon back, and stood in front of Soi Fon, "Hehe, Soi Fon is my subordinate."

Mr. Yoruichi...

Soi Fon was so moved she almost cried.

"Yes, yes, she's your subordinate." Yu Zi nodded perfunctorily. "So, can you take me back now?"

Yoru's eyes twitched, and she glanced down at Soi Fon, who was clumsily tugging at her clothes.

Is Yuko deliberately speaking up for this child?

"It's so cold outside. I even ran into some bad guys today and almost got kidnapped."

Yoruichi instantly flew into a rage, grabbing Yuuko's collar and shaking her violently, roaring, "Didn't I tell you, you idiot, not to cause any more trouble?!"

"Let go! Let go now! I'm going to throw up!"

……

After much trouble, Yuuko finally returned to the Shihouin family home under Yoruichi's guidance.

Soi Fon respectfully escorted the two to the gate of the Shihouin residence, bowing slightly: "Lord Yoruichi, I shall take my leave then..."

Yu Zi interrupted her, "It's getting late, why don't we let the child rest here for the night?"

Yoruichi asked strangely, "You seem to really like this child?"

Yuko crouched down, cradling Soi Fon's head in her hands and facing Yoruichi: "This child is so cute, don't you like her?"

Soi Fon struggled instinctively for a moment, but upon hearing Yuuko's words, she stopped struggling, looked up at Yoruichi, and revealed a hint of expectation in her eyes.

Yoruichi's lips twitched slightly. "I like it."

"Thank you so much for your kindness, Yoruichi!" Soi Fon was so excited that she wanted to kneel down, but she was held in Yuuko's arms and couldn't manage to do so after a few movements.

Yuko couldn't help but complain, "What a wicked aristocratic class."

“If you were a man, I can’t even imagine what kind of suffering this child would have endured.”

Yoruichi's expression froze for a moment, then she poked Yuuko's head: "What's in your head?"

Yuko opened her arms wide: "My mind is filled with the ideal of a utopian society where everyone is equal."

"..." For some reason, I suddenly felt that this guy was a bit taller.

"Honestly, in my world, the aristocratic class and all that is practically extinct," Yu Zi sighed. "But you guys are still living in feudalism."

Yoruichi narrowed her eyes: "You seem to be quite dissatisfied with the nobility?"

“It’s not that I’m dissatisfied, it’s just that I don’t like it.” Yuko waved her hand. “But if it’s a noble like Yoruichi, I would quite like it.”

"It's not pretentious at all, it's very real."

Yoruichi was taken aback, clearly not expecting that a dog could utter such ivory; this guy actually knew how to praise people?

Yu Zi suddenly changed the subject, "Haha, mainly because I'm afraid you'll kick me out, so I should at least say something complimentary."

Ye opened her mouth, but found herself speechless. In the end, she could only silently give Yuko a thumbs up.

You're awesome.

"It's okay for you to say things like that to me, but don't go around saying them to other people," Yoruichi sighed.

“I know, I know, I always call you Lord Yoru when we’re out here~” Yuko said, deliberately drawing out the tone.

It's supposed to be a really enjoyable feeling, but why does it sound inexplicably unpleasant to her?

It must be because of this guy's sarcastic tone, right?

Yoruichi rolled her eyes at her: "Heh, by the way, Soi Fon is also a noble."

"Who isn't an aristocrat?"

Yoruichi raised an eyebrow slightly: "You too?"

"My family used to be a samurai class, and we had quite a few servants at home, you know."

"Then why do you still hate nobles?"

“Is someone who exploits others worthy of liking?” Yuko said, then added, “Of course, I don’t mean to dislike you.”

"In fact, given your level of understanding, you probably don't understand what I'm saying either; this is a limitation of our times."

"So I won't blame you."

Yoruichi couldn't help but grind her teeth: "But what if I really want to punch you?"

Even though she was one of the four noble families, Yu Zi's tone was condescending, completely disregarding the nobility.

"Tomorrow, it's too late today."

"..."

Perhaps it was because Yu Zi's words were so honest that she couldn't feel angry at all.

Yuko smiled and pushed Soi Fon in front of Yoruichi: "Let this child sleep next to you tonight. When I was her age, I was too scared to sleep alone."

Yoruichi was utterly speechless; she couldn't quite understand what Yuuko meant.

But it doesn't matter, it's just a matter of adding another blanket.

As for Soi Fon?

Her eyes were starting to dart around.

I felt like I was spinning around in a paradise of happiness.

Yoruichi suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, what did you mean when you said you encountered bad people?"

"Oh, actually, I met a captain outside, and she asked me to join her squad."

Yoruichi rolled her eyes: "Give me a break, the captain actually let you join her squad."

Why don't you just say you're the long-lost relative of the captain?

"Excuse me, what's your commander's surname?"

"Yamamoto."

"My surname is Tsugikuni, didn't I already say that? It's definitely not true, Yoruichi is so stupid."

Yoruichi felt like she was going crazy. Wasn't this guy obviously mocking her?

Seeing that Yoruichi was about to explode, Yuko quickly said seriously, "I'm telling the truth! That person's surname seems to be Unohana. I heard other people call her Captain Unohana."

"But I didn't agree."

Yoruichi paused for a moment, then looked at Yuuko with some suspicion: "Then why didn't you agree?"

"Because I think that person is a bit scary."

Yoruichi raised an eyebrow: "Terrible?"

"That's Captain Unohana, the representative of female Shinigami in Seireitei. Everyone who has been healed there praises her. How can you say she's scary?"

Yu Zi nodded slightly: "The killing intent is quite strong. The number of people he has killed is probably hundreds, if not thousands."

"Moreover, her spiritual pressure level is very high, and the strength of her spiritual power is much stronger than Yoruichi's."

Yoruichi paused for a moment, recalling the rumors about Retsu Unohana.

Yuko stood with her body tilted to the side, rubbing her chin, looking nonchalant: "But the main reason I rejected her is because I couldn't bear to leave Yoruichi."

Ye's eye twitched slightly: "I'll just assume that's how it is."

She'd already figured it out; this woman couldn't be serious for more than two seconds!

"But you really shouldn't be underestimated; you even noticed this." Yoruichi gave Yuuko a deep look.

Although Yuuko's spiritual pressure level is not high yet, and there is basically no chance of winning against a captain-level opponent, that is a captain!

There are only a dozen or so captains in the Soul Society on the surface.

It's hard to say about the vice-captain, but it's even more difficult for the other officers to win.

If we continue to raise Yuuko's spiritual pressure level, she will definitely become a captain-level fighter in the future.

Moreover, that so-called transparent domain could even see the Shinigami's spiritual pressure level, which was truly unbelievable.

Is it the highest realm of martial arts?

That sounds really interesting.

"Then, I'll go back to rest now." Yu Zi waved her hand casually. "I'll leave the child in your care."
