Chapter 456 Yu Zi's debt of gratitude is never fully repaid
Inosuke is illiterate; he grew up in the mountains and cannot read.
However, he had spent a lot of time with Tanjiro and Zenitsu, and he often read their letters, so he could still distinguish between their names.
"Eh?" A hint of hesitation flashed across Tanjiro's face.
He became a little curious.
I'm curious why his name is on it. Is it Ms. Yuko's evaluation of him?
Curious, very curious.
Tanjiro couldn't resist his curiosity afterward. He apologized to Ikuko in his heart and started flipping through the booklet.
"...Is this...my name?" Tanjiro, who wasn't very well-educated, began to doubt himself.
That seemed to be his name, but then again, it didn't seem to be. The words interspersed in between were hard to understand.
Nezuko also came over, only to find that she couldn't understand it either, and began to doubt her own level of literacy.
Okay, they really aren't very educated.
However, in the later pages, the information about the Upper Moons and Muzan is all in Japanese, and the information is clear and easy to understand, which is in stark contrast to the obscure words in the earlier pages.
Indeed, the character 'charcoal' appears frequently in the first half of the story. Tanjiro wonders if it might be something that Miss Yuuko recorded about his ancestor, Tanjiro.
After all, this booklet seems to have been with Miss Yuko for many years, and the pages have turned yellow with age. It's hard to imagine that the first few pages could have recorded anything about him.
Tanjiro was somewhat curious, but he didn't intend to delve into it further.
Finally, Tanjiro, who had studied the first half of the book for a while but still couldn't understand it, scratched his head and closed the book again.
Nezuko sat at the table, her hands supporting her cheeks, a worried look on her face: "What should I do? It's all my fault for forgetting."
Tanjiro comforted her, "It's alright, we'll bring the things to Miss Yuuko when we have time."
Anyway, Miss Ren has already given them her address, so they can visit her when they have time.
"Ah."
……
Time has slowly passed, and the city has recently become the subject of much discussion.
The two little girls from the Butterfly family, a medical family that was robbed of everything ten years ago, have returned, bringing with them several unfamiliar girls, all of whom are beautiful and graceful.
The girls reopened a pharmacy in the city.
This immediately stirred up many young people from prominent families in the city, but unfortunately, they often couldn't even get through the door.
Some were even beaten so badly that they couldn't remember what happened when they woke up.
"Honestly, Mr. Shinazugawa, it was you who beat up the guy, and now everyone's talking about our family." Inside the pharmacy, Shinobu Kocho looked resentfully at Shinazugawa Sanemi, who had come to visit.
Sanemi Shinazugawa looked down at the empty desktop and remained silent, clearly somewhat embarrassed.
"Well, Sanemi was just trying to help us." Kanae came out from the back door just in time, bringing tea. "Those two said some really hurtful things."
Shinobu Kocho narrowed her eyes: "Wow~ Sister found out the truth so quickly?"
Kanae blushed, put the tea on the table, and was speechless.
"Alright, bear with it, stop bullying these two." Yu Zi helped carry the medicinal herbs into the shop.
Sanemi Shinazugawa glanced at her gratefully, but before he could feel touched for even two seconds, he heard Yuko speak again.
"But who is this white-haired guy?" Yuko looked down at the taciturn Shinazugawa Sanemi. "Is he that foul-mouthed brat I know?"
Sanemi Shinazugawa's temple throbbed with barely suppressed rage: "You wretched woman! I've been putting up with you for far too long!"
"But I just walked in." Yuko turned her head without changing her expression. "Shinobu, is he saying this on purpose for you to hear?"
"The despicable woman I'm referring to is actually you."
"Eh? Me? Am I the woman that Mr. Shinazugawa hates?" Shinobu Kocho widened her eyes, playing along perfectly with Ikuko.
Even from an outsider's perspective, Shinazugawa Genya was too embarrassed to breathe, while Shinazugawa Sanemi, the person directly involved, was even more awkward, sweating profusely.
He looked exactly like a son-in-law who was at a loss when faced with accusations from his mother-in-law and father-in-law.
Genya Shinazugawa opened his mouth, wanting to say a few good words for his elder brother, but when he realized the opposing team's lineup, he decisively shut his mouth and obediently started drinking his tea.
I can't argue with them, I simply can't argue with them.
Leaving aside Miss Yuko, even Miss Shinobu is not someone the two brothers can talk to.
Being bad at speaking and needing someone's help, he has no advantage whatsoever, so how could he possibly win?
I'm sorry, brother, you'll have to rely on yourself for this.
Shinazugawa Genya let out a mournful cry, then lowered his head and remained silent, no longer paying attention to the conflicts of the mortal world.
Sanemi Shinazugawa has indeed lost the fiery temper he had in the Demon Slayer Corps; at this moment, he's practically like a well-behaved student being bullied at school.
If the other members of the Demon Slayer Corps saw this scene, they probably wouldn't believe their eyes, and might even doubt whether the person in front of them was the same savage man they knew, the Wind Pillar with the worst temper in the Demon Slayer Corps.
It can only be said that no matter who you are, you are quite vulnerable and have no temper when you encounter your partner's family during the dating period.
After all, whether this matter can be accomplished depends on the other party's attitude.
Most importantly, while Shinazugawa Sanemi is alright at fighting, expecting him to be good with words and able to outwit Ikuko and Shinobu Kocho, those two sarcastic experts, is really asking too much.
Even during his time with the Demon Slayer Corps, Sanemi Shinazugawa never managed to outwit Ikuko or Shinobu Kocho in a verbal battle.
As for fighting, I can't win.
They were simply no match for each other, whether they tried to reason with them or not; they were quite pathetic.
So, he didn't dare utter a single word, and was too busy sweating to say anything.
"Alright, Ren, you haven't done the herb sorting work yet. Don't just sit there, go help out."
In the end, it was Kanae who, by using her authority as the eldest sister, successfully 'shut down' her sarcastic younger sister.
"Yes, yes, I'll go right away." Shinobu Kocho wasn't angry at all; instead, she smiled broadly, clearly pleased to see this scene.
But when Kanae turned to Ikuko with a stern face, she couldn't say anything.
Of course, my sister can scold me all she wants; I haven't even repaid Miss Yuko's kindness yet.
Even with the connection to her sister, Kanae couldn't bring herself to scold Yuko for helping the Demon Slayer Corps kill Muzan, let alone the fact that Yuko was her savior.
Kanae could only cast a pleading look at him helplessly.
"Alright, I'll stop teasing you. I agree to this marriage." Yu Zi smiled and chose to let them off the hook.
You didn't let them off the hook either!
Xuanmi was sweating profusely on the side, inwardly cursing.
