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

Chapter 440 Startled her

"I'm so sorry."

Inside the room, Hidetoshima bowed his head to Tanjiro, exuding an air of dejection.

Tanjiro gave an awkward laugh: "No, it's nothing..."

Yu Zi was speechless: "Really, how old are you, still fighting with a child for things."

"I'm sorry." Steel Tsukasa simply kept apologizing.

Tanjiro wanted to argue that he wasn't a child, but when he thought about his and Miss Yuuko's ages, he couldn't bring himself to say it.

Speaking of...

Now, apart from Ms. Tamayo, Ms. Ikuko can say that everyone else is a child, right?

Moreover, Miss Yuko was also speaking up for him.

Tanjiro comforted himself and decided not to correct the way he was addressed.

The room was quiet. Steel Tomb sat there very stiffly, his head bowed as if even his breathing had become light.

The atmosphere was incredibly awkward.

Tanjiro quickly changed the subject: "Speaking of which, is Mr. Haganezuka here for the party?"

"Ah."

"Have the others from the Sword Forging Village come too?"

"Ah."

"Has Xiao Tie arrived yet?"

"Ah."

"..."

No, this person has completely lost his passion.

Tanjiro facepalmed.

"You guys talk." Perhaps knowing that her presence was the problem, Yu Zi silently got up and left.

Watching Yuko leave, Tanjiro breathed a sigh of relief. Yuko's oppressive aura was truly formidable. Even though he was speaking up for her, he still felt quite terrified.

"Mr. Haganezuka, I..." He had just caught his breath and turned his head to comfort Haganezuka when he felt a gust of wind and saw Haganezuka rushing towards him and pinning him to the ground.

"Damn it! You're the one who lured that woman here!" Haganezuka angrily sat on Tanjiro, pinching his face until it was deformed.

"You think I'm afraid of that woman?! I just don't want to fight with a woman!"

Tanjiro's words were slurred as he stammered, "Mud Forest Queen."

"Don't argue with me! I could take on ten women like her!"

Tanjiro raised his hand and pointed behind him: "Morigo."

A chill ran from the back of the steel mound straight to the top of his head. He swallowed hard and stiffly turned his neck.

Yuko stood in the corridor with her arms crossed, giving off a "go ahead" look.

shuh~

Tanjiro felt a sudden lightness on his body, and when he looked towards the door, Mr. Hidetoshika was already kneeling obediently at the doorway with a sliding tackle.

"I'm so sorry!"

Such a pathetic statement came from the mouth of Steel Tomb.

Yuko's eyelids twitched, and she left without expression.

Are you kidding me? She originally just thought this guy was funny, but if you keep going like this, she's having a hard time.

She was so embarrassed she could practically dig her toes out of a three-bedroom apartment.

"You wretched brat! You lied to me again!!!"

"Eh~!!!"

boom!

Yu Zi had only taken two steps when the commotion behind her started again.

"..."

That's unbelievably idiotic.

Yuko left with her eyes slanted, and then she ran into Kotetsu at the corner, along with the tattered Yoriichi Type 0 behind him.

"Ah! Found it!" Upon seeing her, Xiao Tie walked towards her excitedly.

Yu Zi was taken aback: "You were looking for me?"

"Hmm!" Xiaotie, wearing the Fire Man mask, nodded and pointed to Yoriichi Zero behind him, looking proud. "I fixed him."

Although his expression was obscured by the mask, his pride was evident from his bold body language.

Yuko treated it like she was coaxing a child, and praised her generously: "Very impressive."

Of course, it is indeed very impressive.

Back then, Yan Sheng had chopped it into such a pile of junk that she wouldn't have been able to put it back together, let alone repair it.

At least she couldn't figure out how this thing could move so flexibly.

Will we have such technological robots a hundred years from now?

Yuko couldn't help but think of it.

Unexpectedly, he received such straightforward praise so easily. Xiao Tie scratched his head a little embarrassedly and got straight to the point:

"Um, I brought Yoriichi Type-0 here because I wanted to give it back to you."

Yuko looked puzzled: "Why?"

"Huh? What do you mean why? Isn't he your older brother?" Xiao Tie was getting a headache from Yu Zi's questions.

Yu Zi's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly as she said with disdain, "How could such an ugly guy be my brother?"

"What's ugly about him! He's obviously very handsome, okay?! Give me another month, and I can fix him up perfectly!" Xiao Tie retorted angrily at first, then said, "Isn't this guy based on your older brother?"

"Now that Muzan Kibutsuji has been killed, there's no point in keeping him around, so I thought it might be better to return him to you."

Yu Zi shook her head: "I didn't create this ugly monster."

Xiao Tie gritted his teeth and replied, "Doesn't this look exactly like you?!"

He looked at Yu Zi with a furious expression. If you're going to talk about being ugly, then admit that you're an ugly monster first!

Yu Zi frowned even more deeply and murmured, "How come his eyesight is already bad at such a young age?"

Xiao Tie was furious: "I heard you!"

Seeing this, Yu Zi stopped teasing him and shook her head with a smile: "There's no need."

"Ok?"

"With something this powerful, I'd only use it to make tea at most." Yu Zi squatted down and gently ruffled his hair. "If it were you, Xiao Tie, it would probably make him even more powerful, right?"

So gentle...

"Hmm." The little iron mask made his face turn bright red. He lowered his head and responded in a muffled voice. At the same time, he made up his mind that he would definitely modify this puppet to be even more powerful than the ones modified by his ancestors.

At the very least... the tea you brew must be just as good as human tea!

"Ah! Mr. Hidetsuzuka!"

Suddenly, hurried footsteps and Tanjiro's shouts came from behind Yuko.

Yuko turned around, and a faint zigzag pattern appeared on her forehead.

That's enough, you idiot!

Seeing Yuko blocking the way, Steel Mound paused for a moment, then quickened his pace, seemingly wanting to break through the barrier Yuko was guarding.

Xiaotie passed Yuko's figure and saw Gangtiezuka rushing towards them, carrying a knife in his arms.

"Steel Tomb First..."

Before Xiao Tie could finish his greeting, Yu Zi made a move.

She stretched out her slender arm and swung it at Steel Tsukasa. Her not-so-thick wrist grabbed Steel Tsukasa's neck, flipped him over, and slammed him to the floor.

With a loud bang, Steel Tomb crashed headfirst into the floor, its head sinking in, leaving only its buttocks and two trembling hairy legs sticking out of the floor.

Yuko casually tossed the stolen Nichirin Blade to Tanjiro, then turned to Kotetsu: "Are you alright?"

"Yes!" Xiao Tie's face turned pale and then red, his whole body trembled, and he screamed in fright.

Yuko trembled slightly.

Why is this child suddenly shouting so loudly? It startled her.
