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

Chapter 455 Yuko's Notes

Shinobu Kocho chuckled as she described Tanjiro's life after leaving the Demon Slayer Corps and returning home. Kanae listened with a smile, feeling happy for Tanjiro and the others.

"That's wonderful." Kanae smiled with relief.

Shinobu Kocho smiled and said, "Yes, that's wonderful."

Their dedication to the happiness of others is perhaps one of the reasons why the Demon Slayer Corps has been able to withstand Muzan's relentless pursuit for hundreds of years.

Kanae was deeply happy for Tanjiro.

Although her relationship with Tanjiro was far less close than that with the other people in the Butterfly Mansion, among the regulars of the Butterfly Mansion, Kanae's favorite child was actually Tanjiro.

Gentle, brave, and upholding justice—she embodies so many wonderful qualities.

More importantly, seeing Tanjiro gives Kanae a sense that her beliefs are being recognized by others.

That idea of ​​coexisting peacefully with ghosts.

Kind people deserve a happy ending. If even a hardworking kid like Tanjiro can't have a happy ending, then God is being too cold-hearted.

Moreover, she really likes Nezuko.

Both of these children are so adorable.

"You two get ready, dinner should be ready soon. Come over as soon as you're done." Kanae didn't take up too much of their time, gave them a brief instruction, and then left.

Yuko doesn't actually have many possessions. She's completely transformed into a demon now, and even her clothes are made from her own flesh and blood.

You know what, it's really incredibly convenient.

The clothes can be made in any size, so there will never be a situation where they don't fit properly. Even if they are damaged, they can be quickly restored, so you don't have to worry about the inconvenience caused by the clothes.

Of course, this doesn't mean it has no flaws at all; Iwakatsu is the best example.

Ghosts turn to ashes when they die, and their clothes are made from flesh and blood, so there's not even enough material for a cenotaph. If it weren't for the flute, Yuko would have just been able to put up a wooden plank a few days ago.

Ghosts are just like humans. Once they are freed from the constraints of food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, they are freed from material constraints.

Yuko's only belongings now are the Nichirin Blade that Steelzuka forged for her, and the notebook that has been with her for over a hundred years, which records information about the Demon Slayer Corps and Muzan.

Yuko put her Nichirin Blade in the corner and turned around to help Shinobu Kocho pack her things.

Because she was going out with Yuuko, most of Shinobu's luggage was brought back by Kanae, with only a few pieces of underwear.

Since she no longer needed the notebook, she casually tossed it into Shinobu's bag.

But after Yuko helped Shinobu Kocho clean out the clothes, she couldn't find her notebook.

Yuko couldn't help but ask, "Huh? Shinobu, didn't I put my notebook in my bag?"

She remembered that she had stuffed it in while tidying up her things at the Butterfly House.

"Notebook? Ah, Yuko, you mean that booklet you always carry with you, right? Isn't it in your bag?" Shinobu Kocho asked in surprise, flipping through it a couple of times.

Sure enough it didn't.

Shinobu Kocho frowned, raised her eyes slightly, and pondered for a moment before saying, "I only opened my package when Nezuko offered to help me wash my clothes at Tanjiro's house."

"Was it that time?"

"Sorry, I must have missed it at the time." Shinobu apologized and then looked up to ask, "Should we ask Tanjiro?"

“I’ll have Yan go.”

The 'beauty' that Shinobu Kocho mentioned refers to the kasugai crow she used to deliver messages.

After the Demon Slayer Corps disbanded, most of these Kasugai crows were adopted by swordsmen.

Yuko's jay, named Ginkaku, is now also by her side.

Of course, using the term "adoption" is not entirely accurate.

With intelligence comparable to that of humans, ravens don't need to worry about their food at all; they know how to find insects to eat on their own.

For swordsmen, the raven is more like a trustworthy companion than a pet.

Yu Zi thought for a moment and shook her head: "No need, it's not anything important anyway."

Shinobu blinked: "Huh? But, doesn't Yuuko always carry it with her?"

"Ah, wasn't Muzan still alive before?" Yuko waved her hand dismissively. "Now that Muzan is dead, the information recorded in that notebook is naturally useless."

I just asked that question instinctively because the notebook had gone missing.

It's okay if it's gone.

Moreover, other people probably wouldn't understand what she wrote in that notebook either; even if she flipped through it again herself, she might not be able to understand it.

It not only mixes Chinese characters, Japanese, and English, but also some random technical terms.

Especially the English part, she herself couldn't understand it afterward, and could only guess the content based on the context, which made her regret inserting the English at one point.

Originally, Yuko was worried about getting Alzheimer's and was afraid of losing it, which happened to fall into Muzan's hands, so she recorded it in this way.

"Anyway, it wasn't anything valuable, so it's okay to lose it."

Shinobu Kocho had nothing more to say after hearing her say that.

But now that it's mentioned, she's a little curious about what's written in that little notebook.

When sharing information before, Yuko did take it out. It contained information about demons, but it wasn't comprehensive. There should be a lot more content before it. It should be the information that Yuko has accumulated over the past few hundred years.

Meanwhile, at Tanjiro's house...

Nezuko, who was tidying up her room, discovered a corner of a book hidden under her clothes.

She picked up the clothes curiously, her eyes widening slightly.

It was taken from Miss Shinobu's package; she forgot to put it back after washing the clothes.

……

"This doesn't seem to be Shinobu's." Tanjiro looked at the familiar cover. "It should be Yuuko's."

He was also present when Yuko shared information about Muzan.

"Wouldn't it be clear if I just looked?" Inosuke put down his nose-picking hand, picked up the booklet, and started flipping through it.

"Ah! Inosuke! No!"

"Those are Miss Yuko's things." Tanjiro quickly reached out to take them, but failed to snatch them.

Inosuke had already opened the booklet and placed it on the table.

Tanjiro couldn't resist his curiosity and looked down, where he saw the stick figure image containing information about Muzan.

"..."

Nezuko pointed curiously at the stick figure: "What's this?"

"This is Muzan."

"Eh?!"

Inosuke flipped through the booklet again, which annoyed Tanjiro.

"I already said no, this is so rude."

Going through other people's things like that.

Tanjiro reached out to press down on the booklet, intending to put it away.

Inosuke said coldly: "Tanjiro."

Tanjiro said firmly, "Even if you call me, it won't work."

Inosuke picked his pig nose and calmly said, "No, I mean, it looks like your name is written on it."
