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

Chapter 452 The Continuation of Friendship

“I’ll help you find your name again, Iwakatsu…” Yuko placed her hand on the wooden board, looking at Iwakatsu’s name carved with a Nichirin sword, and was deeply moved. “Don’t let it get lost so easily again.”

Yes, Yuko still had a bit of conscience after all, and she didn't have the heart to just casually put up a monument here, so she engraved Yansheng's name on it.

Although it was just a tree that was temporarily cut down from the mountains and carved into this shape.

Although it is still a bit rudimentary.

The butterfly, with a satisfied expression, said: "That's more like it!"

"Miss Yuko, please don't worry, Nezuko and I will come to clean regularly," Tanjiro assured her, patting his chest.

Yu Zi waved her hand casually: "No need, this is fine."

"Anyway, it's not like we're actually living in a tomb."

"No, rather, if one were to truly live in a graveyard, one should personally clean the area in front of one's own door."

Is this something that can clean itself?!

Tanjiro broke out in a cold sweat. As expected, Miss Yuko's words were always baffling.

"Not living in a tomb? Then where do you live?" Inosuke scraped a booger off the wooden board with Iwakatsu's name engraved on it.

He immediately received a sharp rap on the head from Shinobu Kocho.

She can't bear to hit Yuko, so why can't she bear to beat you, you stupid pig?

"Show some respect for the dead!"

"Yes, I'm sorry..." Inosuke was still rather timid towards Shinobu Kocho.

If we're talking about who Inosuke fears most, Shinobu Kocho is even more afraid than Ikuko.

To Inosuke, this woman was a monster who could torment him with a smile.

"Inosuke isn't wrong, just erecting a monument is enough, no need to bother with it anymore." Yuko, as a relative of the victim, didn't react much, instead jokingly saying with a smile:

"As long as you don't mind having two graves behind your house."

See? The victim's family has no objections.

Zenitsu shuddered: "Yeah, that's that monster."

Yuko nodded: "They might crawl back from hell tonight to find you."

"Eek!" Zenitsu turned pale with fright.

Yu Zi patted his shoulder with a look of satisfaction: "Thank you for your support."

Surely no idiot would believe that reason, right?

"It's really possible, right?! Ghosts and stuff!" Zenitsu clutched his head in panic. "Wouldn't it be better to just blow up the grave?"

Yuko's smile vanished.

It's one thing to rub your nose, but to blow it up is a bit much!

Even if she didn't care that much, it was still too much!

"Um, Miss Yuko." Tanjiro hesitated before speaking.

"Ok?"

“I was thinking that I should return these…” Tanjiro took off the sun-shaped earrings from both ears.

"You didn't listen to Steel Mound's nonsense, did you?" Yuko smiled helplessly. "This was given to your ancestor by Yoriichi, and I have no reason to accept it."

Tanjiro held the earring awkwardly. He had actually hesitated because Miss Yuko didn't care about these things, otherwise he would have returned the Nichirin Blade.

Yuko didn't even glance at it twice: "Tanjiro, these earrings represent the friendship between the Kamado family and the Tsugikuni family. Don't say things like that again."

"I know." Tanjiro paused for a moment, then solemnly put away the earring.

Nezuko changed the subject: "Yuko-nee, Shinobu-nee, you are always welcome to visit our home."

Shinobu nodded with a smile: "Yes, Nezuko is also welcome to visit my home."

"I'll be sad if Nezuko doesn't come."

Yuko smiled and patted her head: "Of course, back then, Yoriichi and I often came to your house for meals."

Her friendship with Yoriichi and Tanjikichi lasted until they all grew old and Yoriichi passed away, when it was finally severed.

But the memories etched in their genes reconnected the Zao family and Jiguo's family.

Nezuko smiled and nodded, promising to visit them when she had some free time.

After saying goodbye to the Kamado family, Kamado Aoi watched them descend the mountain with several children, and Tanjiro and Nezuko personally escorted them down.

Inosuke and Zenitsu are like two idiots, especially Inosuke, who is like he has ADHD, extremely active, and never quiet the whole way.

As they walked to the foot of the mountain, Tanjiro looked at Inosuke's retreating figure and couldn't help but call out, "Inosuke."

"Huh? What's wrong, Tanjiro?" Inosuke turned around shamelessly, picking his pig nose with one hand.

After spending several years together, the child was finally able to correctly call Tanjiro by his name.

Tanjiro extended his hand and invited, "Stay and live with us."

He has family, Zenitsu has a grandfather who loves him, but Inosuke only has himself.

“…Hmm.” Inosuke paused for a moment, then calmly shook hands with Tanjiro.

This child is actually quite perceptive.

Shinobu Kocho noticed Inosuke's mood and couldn't help but smile.

Everything seemed as if nothing had happened, and the group walked a little further.

After a moment of silence, Zenitsu finally couldn't help but speak up.

"Hey! Tanjiro! Have you forgotten something?!" Zenitsu looked at him with displeasure. "What about me?"

"Why wasn't I invited?" Zenitsu jumped around on the ground in dissatisfaction.

Tanjiro broke out in a cold sweat: "But Zenitsu still needs to go back to find Grandpa Kuwajima, doesn't he?"

"Huh? I've decided to move. Is it not okay to move here?" Zenitsu looked displeased. "I absolutely cannot endure the pain of never seeing Nezuko-chan again!"

Yu Zi's lips twitched: "The second half of the sentence is the key point, isn't it?"

"I've decided! I'll go back and tell Grandpa about moving!" Zenitsu clenched his fist and clapped his hands.

Moreover, if I use Nezuko as an excuse, Grandpa probably won't say much.

Yuko watched the three of them bickering with a smile and said, "In that case, I'll leave my house in town for Inosuke and Zenitsu to use."

"Anyway, it's just sitting empty."

The house is very large; it can easily accommodate Inosuke and Zenitsu, grandfather and grandson, or even more than ten other people.

"I'm so grateful," Zenitsu said, moved. "I'll definitely invite you to my wedding with Nezuko..."

Yu Zi raised her hand to interrupt: "Don't get me into trouble."

Zenitsu's lips twitched slightly.

Shinobu Kocho covered her mouth and chuckled softly: "Alright, that's enough for now."

"I'll walk the rest of the way with Yuko."

Tanjiro nodded earnestly: "Yes, you must come to my house again."

“Of course,” Yuko and Shinobu replied in unison.

If it weren't for anything else, just for Kanao and Aoi, they would inevitably have to come here more often.

Tanjiro saw them off with a beaming smile.

On the way, the two parted ways with Zenitsu, who was full of energy and heading back to move.
