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

Chapter 551 What kind of captain are you?

In Yuuko's eyes, Kisuke Urahara and Yoruichi's spiritual power was already astonishing, almost worlds apart from the Shinigami she encountered on the road.

They thought they were invincible enough, but they didn't expect this young man with glasses to be even more powerful than them. Whose subordinate is this?

The spiritual power within this young man was significantly greater than that of Yoruichi and Urahara.

Yuko's gaze unconsciously fell on the young man's arm, where an iron plaque with the number 'five' written on it was tied.

Does it refer to the Fifth Division?

So wouldn't this young man be a team leader?

hiss~

Why wasn't he wearing a white lab coat?

If she had known, she would have asked Yoruichi to find a picture of the captain of the 12th Division. Now look what happened, she can't recognize anyone.

But then again, this world seems to be in ancient times, so where is she going to find a camera?

The young man looked down at himself because of Yu Zi's teasing. His death outfit was perfectly fitted. He smiled and said, "Is it because this one was custom-made?"

"I see, it does feel much better than mine." Yuko said, waving her slightly oversized sleeves.

Yu Zi bowed slightly: "Um, I'm sorry, I bumped into you just now."

The young man smiled slightly: "It's alright, I was distracted too."

Yuko frowned slightly, hiss~

Why did she suddenly feel like she'd heard this young man's voice somewhere before?

Where is it?

I can't remember right now.

"Then bye-bye." Yu Zi waved goodbye to him.

The young man raised his hand to interrupt: "Please wait a moment."

"Huh? Is there anything else?"

The young man smiled and advised, "Those words you just said shouldn't be uttered carelessly; they could bring great disaster upon you."

"What did you just say?" Yu Zi was stunned for a moment before realizing what he had said, and laughed awkwardly, "Haha, just pretend you didn't hear it."

The young man nodded slightly: "I understand."

After a pause, the young man extended his hand again: "Aizen, Aizen Sousuke, that's my name."

Yuko smiled slightly and took the initiative to shake his hand: "Yuko, Tsugikuni Yuko, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Well then, I'll take my leave now. Until we meet again."

Yu Zi waved her hand and left.

The young man named Aizen was left standing there, silently watching her leave. He then pushed up his glasses, the reflective lenses obscuring his eyes.

I've never seen this person before...

Moreover, he was actually dissatisfied with the rule of those nobles, and even when confronted directly, he showed no fear whatsoever.

interesting.

After saying goodbye to the young man named Aizen, Yuko continued walking, looking around to see if there was anyone stronger than Yoruichi and Urahara.

Yuko figured it out. It might not be that the young man was too good, but rather that Urahara was just a researcher who wasn't very good to begin with, and Yoruichi was from an aristocratic family, so he might even be a fraud.

Maybe those two are the worst among the team captains.

Yes, that's definitely true. Just have her find a team leader in a white coat to compare them, and it will be clear.

Thinking this, Yuko looked around, her eyes fixed on the white coats.

Unfortunately, there seemed to be only a dozen or so people wearing white coats in the vast Seireitei. Ikuko walked for a long time but couldn't find a second person wearing a white coat.

Maybe... they're all pretty busy.

After all, not every captain is as carefree as Yoruichi.

As Yuko passed by a courtyard, she heard a series of footsteps. Several Grim Reapers, dressed in tattered and bloodied armor, carried several stretchers into the courtyard.

"Captain Unohana, this is a seriously injured soldier. Please take care of him."

team leader?

Yuko curiously peeked her head in from outside the door.

Although Yoruichi said she couldn't enter any buildings, she just looked around from the outside and didn't go in.

That should work, right?

"Please put them on the ground, and be careful."

A gentle female voice reached Yuko's ears, and her gaze swept through the crowd to see a woman with a gentle smile on her face.

The woman wore a white lab coat, her expression gentle and peaceful. She had long, black hair parted in the middle and tied into braids that hung down in front of her, giving her a very intellectual look.

His gentle demeanor made Yuko gasp in surprise.

Her eyes... are going blind again!

Under the clear gaze of the vision, the intellectual woman stood like the sun in the crowd, overshadowing the spiritual energy of everyone else around her.

The woman crouched down slightly, her palm hovering over the injured team member, radiating a green aura.

This is a response, and a very powerful one at that.

The external wounds on the wounded are visibly healing.

Judging from this, this woman isn't the type who's good at fighting.

Yuko looked at the women coming and going in the courtyard; it seemed that most of the squads here were female Shinigami.

Judging from the appearance, it should be a squad that is specifically responsible for logistics and medical treatment. Even the captain of such a logistics squad has a much stronger spiritual power than Yoruichi.

As expected, Yoruichi is a complete noob.

It looks like it won't be long before I surpass her.

Then I'll have to step on her head and question her.

What captain are you?

Incompetent captain!

Unohana stood up as if she had done something insignificant: "Alright, let them rest."

"I am so grateful! Captain Unohana!"

Unohana smiled gently, as if she had sensed something, and subconsciously looked towards the door, where she met Ikuko's golden eyes.

Yuko blinked, casually looked away, and then retreated back outside the wall.

Looks like it's time to go.

She took two steps out when a gentle voice suddenly came from behind her.

"Young lady, is there something you need?"

Yuko turned around and smiled slightly: "No, I just happened to see Captain Unohana's heroic figure and couldn't help but take a second look."

Unohana narrowed her eyes: "Really? It doesn't seem like it~"

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Yu Zi's forehead.

Something seems wrong.

Why does this woman exude such a strong sense of oppression?

There's a rather strange feeling about it.

Is it because all squinty-eyed people are monsters?

I always felt that she was the type who appeared gentle on the surface but was actually quite cunning on the inside.

Which squad are you from?

"Second Division".

"The Second Division~" Unohana seemed a little surprised and suddenly extended an invitation, "How about joining the Fourth Division?"

Yuko smiled slightly: "Thank you for your appreciation, Captain Unohana, but Yoruichi... you've been quite good to me."

"Really? That's a bit of a shame." Unohana looked slightly disappointed. "I felt we would get along very well."

We get along well...

Yu Zi's pupils contracted slightly; she seemed to understand why she found this woman's aura somewhat intimidating.

That's not about the intensity of spiritual pressure, nor is it a matter of squinting.

But...

Bloody smell.

It's not what it sounds like literally, but rather a resonance between murderers.

Although Yuko has not killed many people, she has killed hundreds, if not thousands, of ghosts.

It's that kind of...smell of being submerged in blood.

She misjudged the woman; she wasn't a gentle doctor at all, but a monster who could kill.

What's worse, it seems she was the first one to be discovered.

Curiosity really killed the devil; I should have known better than to come and peek.

Yuko twitched the corner of her mouth: "Thank you for Captain Unohana's kindness."

"Well, I have something to do, so I'll be going now."

When in doubt, the first thing to do is to run away.

"Wait..." Unohana reached out her hand, but couldn't stop Yuko. She narrowed her eyes, lost in thought.

On the other side, Yuko ran to a safe place and breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Yoruichi didn't get into any trouble.

But now she's in trouble.

Yuko stood in the middle of the crossroads, feeling somewhat desperate.

After this incident, she completely forgot which road she had come from.

It's over!

Yuko leaned silently against the wall, as one death after another passed by her, occasionally casting a questioning glance at her.

Yu Zi coughed lightly and couldn't help but call a halt to one of the teams.

"Excuse me, which direction is the Second Division in?"

"Over there," a grim reaper pointed her in the right direction.

"Thank you!" Yu Zi gratefully clasped her hands together and left in the direction the man pointed.

Soon, she arrived at the entrance of the Second Division.

"Oh, so this is the Second Division!"

Yuko stood at the door, gazing thoughtfully at the Grim Reapers coming and going inside, her face darkening once more.

Damn it! I asked the wrong question!

She should have asked where the Shihōin family lived!

"Hello, is there something you need?"

Suddenly, a clear female voice rang out behind her.

Yuko turned around and saw that it was actually an adorable little girl.

Is such a young child also a grim reaper?

Yuko was shocked.

No, wait! Death seems to have ancient relics too. Maybe this little girl is an old woman who is thousands of years old.

No, that's not right! How could such a cute little girl be an old woman!

"Well, not really." Yu Zi's eyes darted around, and she squatted down, looking at her with a smile. "What's your name, little girl?"

"Shard Bee."

“Soi Fon, what a lovely name,” Yuko complimented, then asked, “Do you know which direction the Shihouin family residence is located in? I think I’m lost.”

Asking other people might not be a good idea, but asking such a small child shouldn't be a problem, right?

After all, children don't think that much.

She's a genius!

"Shifuin?"

Yuko continued to lie, "Yes, I have something to discuss with Lord Yoruichi, but it's my first time here, so I'm a little lost."

Do you know the location of the Shihouin family residence?

Soi Fon nodded slightly: "Yes, I know."

Yu Zi's face lit up with joy: "Then, could you please take me there?"

"How about I buy you some desserts later? Do you like sweets?"

"Yes, I like to eat honey."

Yuko patted Soi Fon on the shoulder with emotion: "Yoshi! I'll definitely buy you a big jar of honey later to treat you."

Yuko stood up. "By the way, is there anything else?"

Soi Fon shook her head and pointed in a direction.

"Let's go." Yu Zi smiled, patted her head, and took her hand as they left the entrance of the Second Division.

Where Yuko couldn't see, a butterfly flew away from Soi Fon's hand, fluttering its wings and heading in the opposite direction.

Yuko initially thought she was a smart person, but as she got further and further away from the right path, she gradually became suspicious.

"Hey little sister, is this really the direction to the Shihouin family's residence?"

He answered her with a kunai thrust into her face.

Yuko tilted her head to the side, and the kunai brushed past her cheek.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Soi Fon broke free from Yuko's grasp, performed several smooth backflips to retreat to a safe distance, and looked at Yuko with a serious expression on her young face.

Yu Zi asked, slightly puzzled, "Little sister, what do you mean by that?"

Soi Fon's face darkened: "Stop pretending, what exactly do you want from Yoruichi-sama?"

Yuko: "...Excuse me for asking, little sister, you're not an old woman like Yoruichi, are you?"

"How dare you! How dare you insult Yoruichi-sama!" Soi Fon's face darkened even more. She pushed off with her feet and shot towards Yuuko like an arrow.

Yuko felt a little numb and kept dodging Soi Fon's attacks.

Who would have thought this little girl would be a die-hard fan of Yoruichi?

"Listen to me... no, listen to my explanation, I really am good friends with your Yoruichi."

Soi Fon stopped attacking, but before Ikuko could catch her breath, she heard Soi Fon sneer again: "When you were lying to me earlier, you said you were going to talk to Yoruichi about something, but now you're saying you're Yoruichi's friend?"

Ikuko: "..."

Are kids these days all so smart?

"Sting and kill all enemies! Birds and wasps!"

Another attack came, and Soi Fon's Zanpakuto suddenly changed shape at her command, resembling a sharp fingertip or a bee's tail.

Zanpakuto release?

Such a young child?

The sharp bee's tail lunged at Yuko, who was slightly surprised and instinctively dodged the attack.

No wonder this kid became a Grim Reaper; his strength far surpasses that of many other Grim Reapers.

She just made the mistake of judging people by their appearance.

Soi Fon's attacks came one after another, like a buzzing bee, stinging without killing anyone but causing Yuko considerable trouble.

"Yes, or you can take me to see Yoruichi? I'll confront her and you'll see I'm not lying."

"You just want to hurt Yoruichi!" Soi Fon completely ignored her explanation.

"She's the one hurting me!" Yuko couldn't hold back anymore and defended herself.

Even though Yoruichi had been relentlessly targeting him during all the previous training sessions.

"Yoruichi would never do such a thing!"

Yuko suddenly realized that it was pointless to explain to her die-hard fans.

After dodging Soi Fon's attacks again, Yuuko couldn't help but say, "You can't kill anyone by fighting like that. Why don't you take a break?"

"Okay, let me prick you a couple of times and then I'll rest."

Yuko stopped in her tracks: "Really?"

Soi Fon almost lost her footing and crashed into Ikuko, performing several backflips to get far away and watching her warily.

"What do you mean?"

"I'll let you prick me a couple of times, so stop messing with me."

Soi Fon narrowed her eyes: "Okay."

“Then come on.” Yuko opened her arms wide.

Soi Fon stood still, unable to fathom Yuuko's thoughts, and did not step forward.

"What's wrong? Why haven't you made a move yet?"
